You know Mike Bell has to be feeling pretty good about himself right now. He came in just this morning for a scheduled work-out with the Texans and had himself a roster spot by noon.
I'd keep a box in my trunk if I were Chris Brown (might have to scoot the extra leg braces and crutches out of the way, though). Looks like he'll be packin up his locker pretty soon.
Bell is best known for his 15 minutes of fame that, well, every other Denver running back enjoys. Play a couple games, rack up some crazy numbers, dissappear into obscurity. His moment came as a rookie in 2006 when he boasted a 4.3 ypc average while piling up 677 rushing yards and 8 TDs in a very crowded (and non-substance abusing) Broncos backfield.
Bell fell out of favor in Denver after failing to successfully make the transition from running back to fullback. Shanahan gave him the boot July 22nd.
Goody for us!
Here's what Bell brings to the Texans:
1) A healthy body that can tote the rock, and spell the other backs at training camp.
2) A quick back, well-versed in the zone-blocking scheme.
(This is the most important factor. even if he's cut, he will have helped the team by helping show our other RBs some of the nuances to it.)
3) A running back with pass-catching ability
4) A running back not named Chris Brown.
(as much as I love titans retreads....)
5) A very young Back with the potential to improve
6) A back who can handle the load as an every-down back, should (when) Ahman go down.
This is a great move, in my opinion. Unfortunately safety Brandon Harrison had to be cut to make room for Bell. That crying sound you hear? That's John McClain. Just turn the radio down. It's sad to see a guy with that much upside go...but we were crowded at safety as it was.
Keep those Denver castoffs a-comin'!!!

***UPDATE***
The Houston Chronicle originally said Brandon Harrison was cut. turns out it was actually Brandon Mitchell (I left my original statement because I still think it's funny). This only proves my point further: the Texans have too many safeties. So much so, that no one can keep track of them all apparently. That is all.
Keep those Denver castoffs a-comin'!!!

"Young back with potential to improve"
Our heat and humidity have given him a nice warm welcome. The kid is not in football shape yet. Maybe trying to get Ron Dayne's job ?
