Le'Veon Bell and the Pittsburgh Steelers are at odds Detroit Lions Hats , battling and bickering over money. It's a football family fight.The Browns won't play peacemakers."They can beat each other up for all we care," Cleveland coach Hue Jackson said Wednesday. "It does not matter."But Bell's absence from Sunday's season opener between the AFC North neighbors could have a major impact on Cleveland's chances of ending a 17-game losing streak 鈥?and perhaps infuse a little life into a dormant rivalry.Bell still hasn't joined his teammates as the Pro Bowl running back continues his holdout for a new contract. The stare-down between the sides has reached a critical juncture 鈥?and either a breaking or turning point 鈥?as the Steelers are days away from opening a new season.When the 26-year-old Bell didn't report to the team and sign his $14.5 million one-year contract tender earlier this week, several of the team's offensive linemen voiced their displeasure toward a player they normally do all they can to protect."Here's a guy who doesn't give a damn, so I guess we'll treat it as such," veteran guard Ramon Foster said. "I just hate it came to this."The Browns aren't complaining.Pittsburgh's offense isn't the same without Bell, one of the NFL's best offensive players who ran for 1,291 yards last season despite missing training camp after reporting just a few days before the opener in Cleveland.No Bell at all would seem to give the Browns an edge."He's a talented player," said defensive end Myles Garrett, who sat out last season's first game with a serious ankle sprain. "He's one of the best in the league at his position, so it definitely is an advantage to us. That's up to him."Bell wasn't himself in last year's opener, rushing for just 32 yards on 10 carries and catching three passes for 15 yards. But because he's Le'Veon Bell Detroit Lions Hoodie , the Browns had to account for him on every play."He's a great player so he is always going to be a focal point," linebacker Christian Kirksey said. "I just think that we game-planned well. I think that (defensive coordinator) Gregg (Williams) had a good game plan for us to attack their offense. I just think that if it was him or any other running back, we were going to try to shut them down."Pittsburgh will turn to second-year back James Conner to replace Bell and start. Conner, who survived a cancer scare while in college, had just 32 carries as a rookie. But the Browns been watching a lot of video on him and have been impressed."They are different," Jackson said, comparing Bell and Conner. "The other guy is a proven, top of the line, one of the top players in the league. Not that James Conner is not that, he just has not done it to the level that Le'Veon has."For their offense, he knows how to play in their system. He is a good football player. He will make plays for them. We have to do everything that we can to shut down the run game Youth Customized Detroit Lions Jerseys , whether it is Le'Veon or whether it is James Conner. Just have to do our job on defense the best hat we can."Of course, the Steelers still have future Hall of Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown to offset Bell's loss.And while the Browns won't miss Bell, receiver Jarvis Landry did offer support for the back's financial plea."Pay the man," Landry said.NOTES: Jackson will announce his starting tackle on Friday, but the Browns may have tipped their hand with a waiver claim. The team grabbed DL Anthony Zettel from the Lions and released backup center Aaron Neary. The move may signify that Austin Corbett, who has been starting at left guard, will now be the backup center with Joel Bitonio sliding back to guard and undrafted rookie Desmond Harrison starting at left tackle. ... Zettel had 6陆 sacks last season in Detroit. The Lions have played only ten games this year, the first season for Matt Patricia as the head coach. Already, the organization is providing him with the oft-dreaded vote of confidence.“I do think it’s important for the fans to know that we have a great head coach and a great General Manager and we have a great plan in place to build a foundation I聽think for success, not only hopefully this year, but for many years to come www.lionsauthorizedshops.com ,” Lions president Rod Wood told WWJ-TV on Sunday, via Mlive.com.Although for many coaches comments like that would be a harbinger of doom, the Lions surely won’t be making another coaching change so quickly. The core problem continues to be the culture shock that the locker room undoubtedly is experiencing as Patricia tries to bring the Patriot Way to the Motor City.The players aren’t used to it, the local media is confused by it, and the absence of short-term results are making too many people believe it will never work.Here’s the reality: Nothing has worked for most of the last 60 years in Detroit. Any team that commemorates the 25th anniversary of its last playoff win and/or the 25th anniversary of its last division title has not been a good team, and the Lions haven’t been a good team for a very long time.That’s what Patricia is working against, and the question becomes whether the organization and the fan base will be patient enough to let Patricia incorporate the things he’s learned by spending more than a decade with the organization at the opposite end of the NFL spectrum.
