D’Anthony Bell struggled against the Commanders. [Bob Self/Florida Times-Union]
The Browns finally decided to bench safety Ronnie Harrison, who played in dime looks, in favor of undrafted rookie D’Anthony Bell. However, as Bell played 22 snaps for the Browns’ defense against the Commanders, the undrafted rookie looked like an undrafted rookie seeing his first amount of significant snaps in his career.
It was just his first game with a set designed for him, and it is in a meaningless game as the Browns are looking to see what they have in their younger players, but it was not a strong showing for Bell. He missed one tackle on the afternoon, gave up a passer rating of 118.8 when targeted (giving up three catches on three targets), and was penalized twice as well.
The Browns should give him the opportunity against the Steelers as well to prove he is more than a special teams ace. However, the results were not promising in this one.
