Through the first three games, Bell leads the team with 163 rushing yards, he is tied with WR Jamison Crowder for most receptions with 20 and he trails only Crowder (164) in receiving yards with 121. He also has the Jets' lone offensive touchdown of the season, which came in Week 1 against the Bills. The 6'1", 225-pound Michigan State product insists that the problem isn't the play calling, but instead lies in the lack of execution.

"I don't feel like we have been conservative, we just haven't been playing smart," said Bell. "We've been hurting ourselves and getting behind. There's not a lot of plays for third-and-18, third-and-20. We have got to just not hurt ourselves and we'll be better."

After a slow start and with nearly the first quarter of the season complete, the Green and White will have the opportunity to simmer down and recoup this coming week during the team's bye. The focus will be to find a solution for success moving forward.
