I watched alot of the Chiefs/Jets game and I mainly saw them playing nickle with D. Johnson and Mitchell in at LB. Bell did get 3 solo tackles but there were many plays where I didn't see Bell in the game.
Any comment on Bell performance? I am thinking of benching him for Lemar Marshall or Kerry Rhodes who had a STUD game with 10 solo tackles.
The Jets were playing catch-up all game, and so KC was in a nickel defense. It appears that Bell will be a 2-down LB and Mitchell and DJ will stay on the field in the nickel. I wouldn't expect KC to have such big leads every week though, and so they won't be spending so much time in the nickel. You do have other good options, though, so I would keep Bell on a fairly short leash. Maybe give him one more week and see what happens.
