“Go for the ball, things like that, just so I can get prepared,” Bell said Wednesday.
“I know once I get to the game it’s going to be a little different, but that’s something I’ll adjust to,” he said. “I’ve been playing football my whole life.”
Bell doesn’t want his teammates to deliver punishing hits, but he said he believes some upper-body contact will do him some good.
If they shy away, he said he’ll try to get under their skin by initiating contact.
“I try to do that intentionally, just so I can feel it,” he said. “A lot of times you’ll start seeing guys get a little frustrated and they’ll try to hit me back — and that’s what I need. They won’t take me to the ground and they won’t go for my legs. Hitting me up top, things like that, I need all that.”
Gase, who reportedly wasn’t thrilled with the decision to give a $27 million guarantee to a running back, said he’s eager to see Bell in a game setting. So is everyone else.
