“#Le\u2019Veon Bell denies Adam Gase tension in big Jets statement<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Jets running back Le\u2019Veon Bell has a warning for the rest of the NFL.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m ready to show this is the best Le\u2019Veon Bell that\u2019s ever played in the NFL,\u201d Bell said on a Zoom call Wednesday.<\/p>\n

That is saying something from someone who has been a two-time All-Pro running back and was considered the best in football during his years with the Steelers. Bell, now in his second season with the Jets, is eager to bounce back from a disapp<\/a>ointing 2019 season and show what he can do.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old has received rave reviews from coaches and teammates for showing up in amazing shape. Bell said he is in the 210-215-pound range, the lowest he has played at since high school.<\/p>\n

Bell said he recommitted himself to getting in shape this offseason after a 2019 season when he averaged a career-low 3.2 yards per carry. Looking back at last year, Bell, who missed the 2018 season in a contract dispute with Pittsburgh, said he did not work hard enough to prepare for the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like I was ready. I felt like I was in good shape for the season,\u201d Bell said. \u201cEven when I was playing, I felt good. There was nothing at the time where I look back and I didn\u2019t feel good here or I didn\u2019t feel good there. I feel like I came in at a good weight. Now, sitting here and looking back on it, it\u2019s like, \u2018Dang, I wasn\u2019t even close.\u2019 If I wanted to take that next step and be a great player, I didn\u2019t work nearly hard enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bell admits he got complacent after rising to the top of the NFL. He was humbled last season with no game<\/a>s of more than 100 yards rushing and just 789 rushing yards on the season, his lowest total when he played at least 12 games.<\/p>\n

There were many contributing factors to his struggles, but Bell said to put the blame on himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou hear people talk like maybe it\u2019s the O-line or it\u2019s the coach not getting you the ball, but it\u2019s like, no, there were holes there,\u201d Bell said. \u201cCoach [Adam] Gase gave me the ball enough. There were times when I could have done more with it. I just don\u2019t want that to be a question no more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gase said he has spent time this offseason examining better ways to use Bell. Looking back at last year, Gase said he overused Bell early.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got make sure you\u2019re using him the right way and making sure that we\u2019re getting him to 16-plus games and not grinding him out,\u201d Gase said. \u201cLast year, I feel like I did a bad job at the beginning of the season. I was really trying to get him going, and at the same time teams kind of knew what we were doing and they were loading up the box and he was taking some shots. I\u2019m sure that wore on him as the season went on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bell-Gase relationship has been scrutinized since last year when it came out that former general<\/a> manager Mike Maccagnan signed Bell to a four-year, $52.5 million deal over Gase\u2019s objections. There was speculation there was tension between the two, but Bell said that is not the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love coach Gase,\u201d Bell said. \u201cI don\u2019t understand why the allegations are about me and coach Gase. Me and coach Gase, we get along fine. Last year with the offense, we\u2019re still figuring out what we like. \u2026 Me and him never had any falling out or arguments or bad talks. I think every talk we had was positive and moving in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bell also backed Gase as a leader after former teammate Jamal Adams questioned Gase\u2019s leadership before he was traded to Seattle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s a good leader for us. I think he get it done,\u201d Bell said.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Adams, Bell was clearly upset with Adams after he was traded. The two had a Twitter<\/a> war that night. Bell said Wednesday that Adams had told him he was not going to force his way off the Jets, then Bell felt he did just that. Bell was clear, though, he is still a fan of Adams, just not how he went about his business at the end with the Jets.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not upset with Jamal. I want the best for Jamal,\u201d Bell said. \u201cSometimes you don\u2019t like the way people handle things.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
