If Bell stays healthy, it will relieve some of the pressure on the defensive backs.

It's the lack of cohesion on the offensive line that seems more troubling right now.

Yeah it'll help but there's always the basic problem that any time our corners wind up one-on-one they're in trouble. Actually Washington is OK if he gets the chance to go one-on-one but he lines up so soft that you can pass on him all day without giving him that chance.

Yeah the o-line is looking pretty weak lately. And I hate to say it but it's probably time for Bettis to retire, or maybe switch to fullback and do primarily blocking, he just doesn't seem to have the oomph hitting the holes anymore.
