Le\u2019Veon Bell failed to achieve the same level of success he did with the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/u><\/a> when he signed with the New York Jets in 2019, but the three-time Pro Bowl running back seemingly pointed the finger at ex-head coach Adam Gase during an interview last week in which he also admitted to smoking marijuana before NFL games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bell, who is currently a free agent, talked about his lackluster run with the Jets<\/u><\/a>,<\/u> which lasted less than two seasons, during an appearance on the “Steel Here” podcast on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Bro, we get to New York, and that’s when you instantly find out that head coaches make a huge difference,” he said. “As soon as I get to New York, I find that out like the first week.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

ALL-PRO RUNNING BACK LE’VEON BELL ADMITS HE WAS ‘PETTY’ AND MADE A MISTAKE NOT RE-SIGNING WITH STEELERS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Bell was a one-time All-Pro<\/u><\/a> and three-time Pro Bowl selection out of the Steelers’ backfield. But after a contract dispute, he turned to New York, where he signed a four-year, $52.5 million deal, including $35 million guaranteed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the move didn\u2019t turn out the way Bell expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The team wasn’t that great, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like if Coach [Mike] Tomlin was coaching that team, we win nine games at least. Because the team wasn\u2019t that bad, it just looks it.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bell was critical of his lack of usage during games and even criticized play calling, revealing that the Jets\u2019 No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 draft, quarterback Sam Darnold,<\/u><\/a> was left “confused” by Gase.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s to the point where Sam Darnold is like \u2013 don’t even know like the actual line’s protections because he’s so confused about our offense because the coach is confusing him.”<\/p>\n

The Jets went 7-9 in Bell\u2019s first season with the team, which also coincided with Gase\u2019s first season. The following year they went 2-14, but Bell was released in October.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bell also opened up about his use of marijuana, admitting that he regularly smoked, including before NFL games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That’s what I did. When I was playing football, I smoked, bro,” he said. “Even before the games, I\u2019d smoke and I\u2019d go out there and run for 150 (yards), two (touchdowns).”<\/p>\n

Bell was suspended twice for violating the NFL\u2019s substance abuse policy while he played for the Steelers, a team he says he\u2019d like to retire with.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The day when I do retire, it’s gonna be with Pittsburgh. Like, I’m trying to retire with Pittsburgh. But before I do that, I might be like, ‘Hey, let me get a couple carries in the preseason so I can show you all something.'”<\/p>\n
