Le’Veon Bell vs. James Conner: What’s the difference? ading into their game with the Kansas City Chiefs all week Womens Tanoh Kpassagnon Jersey , but a starter we are nearly 100 percent sure won’t play that has nothing to do with injuries is running back Le’Veon Bell.Bell has run for more than 100 yards against the Chiefs in each of the last three regular-season games. In the Steelers’ most recent postseason game against the Chiefs, Bell ran 30 times for 170 yards.So the fact the Steelers have removed him from their depth chart ahead of this week’s game is kind of a big deal.Expected to play in Bell’s place is second-year back is James Conner, who filled in for him last week against the Browns. Conner finished with 31 rushes for 135 yards and two touchdowns, as well as five catches for 57 yards in his first career start.So what’s the difference between Bell and Conner? The Chiefs weighed in this week:Chiefs head coach Andy Reid“That other runner (James Conner) is pretty good. He had that same situation that Eric Berry had and he has come back from it strong. He is a local kid from there. He has done a nice job for himself, made a nice niche. I don’t think they are caught up in all of that from the sounds of it. And he is playing well.”Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton“Do you want to play against Le’Veon Bell? I don't know, the thing that kind of struck me about the game the other day against Cleveland was they had 400-and-whatever yards they had with six turnovers—that’s six possessions that at some point went away. That’s a lot. Even in an overtime game, that’s a lot of possessions ... They didn’t really change, you know? They just did what they do and did it really well. Obviously Eric Fisher Jersey , Conner, I think is a really good back. Is he Le’Veon Bell? I don’t know. Le’Veon Bell is unique probably to everyone in our league—his style alone, not to mention his talent. I mean Le’Veon’s a great receiver, a great running back, so it’s a challenge. We played him a couple years ago when he was just walking in the door, I believe, after a three-game suspension. He had no practice, no nothing and it didn’t seem to bother him to me. Not there. We’ll just have to wait and see. We don’t think it changes anything—what they’re doing schematically. They’re not shifting these carries to here or these throws to here. I think Conner might have had 190-something yards total offense http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-jarvis-jenkins-jersey , and I think that would have been as high as anything Le’Veon had last year in total offense.”Inside linebacker Reggie Ragland “Le’Veon (Bell) has more of a patience to his game and James (Conner) he’ll come straight down and just run it for the most part. I got to do a good job in my gaps regardless because both of them can run the ball real well. I got to do a good job of seeing it and just hitting and attacking.”Inside linebacker Anthony Hitchens“They’re both good backs. Obviously, Bell is more an all-around type guy. Scatback, and creates a lot of matchups for linebackers out in space. James Conner kind of has the same ability, but he’s more of a downhill, physical runner. Both got their pros and cons. We’re ready for either one. We’re just preparing as if Bell’s going to be there.” Mahomes and Kelce connected for more than 1,300 yards in 2018." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteArrowhead PrideArrowhead Pride | Kansas City Chiefs Schedule, News, Roster and StatsLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpSeriesLatest NewsFanpostsFanshotsCommunityAboutStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteSeries Stagner ThingsLottery Tickets ’19Summer of SpagsDixon’s MailbagLatest News Fanposts Most recentMost activeFanshots Community Community GuidelinesContactAbout StubHub ✕Patrick Mahomes is ready to get Travis Kelce back for training campNew Womens Patrick Mahomes II Jersey ,12commentsMahomes and Kelce connected for more than 1,300 yards in 2018.CDTShareTweetShareSharePatrick Mahomes is ready to get Travis Kelce back for training campMark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsKansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said last week that he should be 100 percent for training camp after going through an offseason ankle cleanup and missing all workouts. But if that isn’t enough, his appearance at Bar K Dog Park this weekend and a showing at a celebrity softball game in Eastlake, Ohio, should reduce any lingering doubts.Expectedly, one individual who is especially ready for Kelce’s return is Chiefs starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Kelce and Mahomes connected for 103 receptions, 1,336 yards and 10 touchdowns during the 2018 regular season. “I’m really looking forward to it Tyreek Hill Jersey ,” Mahomes said. “That guy has been working hard. I’ve seen him in the training room working with Rick (Burkholder) and those guys. They do an excellent job. He is itching to go. You see him over there catching when we’re throwing. He’s trying to run around. We have to try to get him off the field.”Between Kelce’s rehabilitation, the offseason departure of Demetrius Harris and an injury to Deon Yelder, Mahomes spent much of the offseason working with tight ends who may be a stretch to even make the 53-man roster.Kelce’s return would thus a welcomed one, and given the depth at his position, he will be a player who the Chiefs will need to perform consistently in 2019.“He’s itching to go,” Mahomes added. “I’m excited to get him back into the fold of things and get him moving around out there.”
