Silverphinforum_veteranOPDAVIE - Yeremiah Bell isn't one to shrink from a challenge.
So when someone raised the subject of Tony Gonzalez, the future Hall of Fame tight end the Atlanta Falcons acquired in an offseason trade from Kansas City, a broad smile spread across the face of the Miami Dolphins' strong safety.
"I get jacked up regardless, but when you play somebody who's going to the Hall of Fame, it's a challenge," Bell said. "That's the thing you want in this league is a challenge. You've got to look forward to those. Just to see how you fare. I do get amped up. I'm excited and I can't wait to see what happens. "
Last Dec. 21 in icy Kansas City, Gonzalez piled up seven receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown against the Dolphins defense. That increased his career average against them to 13.4 yards per reception; only the Indianapolis Colts have surrendered a higher figure (15.9) among teams that have faced Gonzalez at least five times.
