Quote:Bell dropped 20 lbs close to Yeldon's current weight to increase his explosiveness (leading to his breakout season) and you'd want TJ to do the opposite?

 

Yes.  Bell's never had an issue with power.  He's always been a power back.  I highly doubt he was in the 220's, however.  That would put him at his high school weight.  You know this is the time of year when teams like to put out feel-good stories that embellish like crazy.  There is no way Luke Joeckel put on 12 pounds of muscle in 2 months... Just sayin'.  Maybe by the time training camp rolls around, but I highly doubt that the story wasn't embellished just a little bit.

Don't we still go by physics laws?  He was the king of elusiveness in the draft, perhaps a fatter version might not juke as much, then you eat into his prime trait...

 

Yeldon isn't much of a "juker."  His elusiveness is more from being shifty with good vision.  Its hard to get a clean hit on him.
