Joe Starkey: Will Le’Veon Bell’s frustration change his approach?

One of the things I love about Le’Veon Bell’s running style is the old-school attitude. He doesn’t just take on tacklers. He seeks them out. He punishes people.

There was no better example of it than late in the Buffalo game last season, when Bell could have run out of bounds but turned upfield just so he could detonate defensive back James Ihedigbo. And detonate he did. They might still be trying to pry Ihedigbo off the turf.

I love that.

But I wonder, given the fact that Bell clearly is unhappy with the Steelers and likely remains two full seasons from the historic pay day he craves, whether he will still be that guy.
