The Jets' offensive line is no where near as good as the Steelers' line. For those who remember the last time Pittsburgh played the Patriots, New England spied Bell and was just as patient, meeting him at the line of scrimmage. Now Bell will face them twice and you know in this copy-cat league other teams will do the same. Bell will get his carries and his yards but he won't have the luxury of running behind one of the best O-lines in the league. The one drawback for Conner is that he may be sharing carries with Jalen Samuels and Benny Snell. I suspect we will see multiple formations with Conner and Samuels or Snell in the backfield at the same time and one or both go in motion and line up at wide receiver.

Bell has spent too much time in drama land. This year is looking the same. The Jets are in for a real treat when Bell just doesn't show.
