Dillon Bell doing a pretty good Robert Edwards impersonation. ...

It may not go past this game, but he looks pretty good running the ball.

And, yeah, I know Edwards started out as a DB, but still.

He’s 6 ft 210. Play him at RB. With Daijun injured and Robinson out the season, we have no one with burst.

yah, agree. Play him at RB. When he gets outside he really has a burst of speed. He has the physique of a rb but I guess maybe a bit too tall. Man, we only had 25 running plays today for 99 yards - that seems low. I feel like we are kind of one dimensional ATM.

He needs to relearn how to pass block on the outside. He and that freshman TE missed blocks and cost us yardage.

Perimeter blocking is way down from last season (no Darnell and limited reps for MRJS).

I would love for Bell to be our Kenny McIntosh answer this season.

That was a bad drop in the endzone today. Kenny had plus hands and plus range as a receiving target. I would hope that a wide receiver could replicate that.

He’s shorter than Milton. Gurley. Derrick Henry. Eddie George. He’s 6ft man, not 6’8” lol

Screen game is an extension of the running game.
Same for jet toss.

I remember reading some journalists on a podcast or something back in the summer that said they attended a couple of UGA practices during the spring and viewed the WR field and Bell was the most 'NFL-looking' player among them. They said he looked like a 'man amongst boys' out there. He's a good-looking athlete for sure...big and fast. He might be just what the doctor ordered at RB.

Dillon Bell may take some reps at RB, but there is not a position change in his future. If the staff tried it, you’d see him in the transfer portal with the quickness.

^Agree. Once Edwards is back in the rotation and roderick gets to full speed, his snaps would drop a lot.
