Former NFL running back Le'Veon Bell reignited his feud with former New York Jets coach Adam Gase. Bell played for the Jets in 2019 and 2020 while Gase was the head coach, as he lasted just two seasons before being fired. During his tenure with the Jets, Bell wasn't happy with Gase's system and play-calling.

Bell, of course, was inactive for a game during his tenure with the Jets as Gase claimed he had the flu and missed practices. However, Bell was spotted bowling the night before, after missing the walkthrough.

Bell wasn't a fan of Gase's offense and ended up just skipping a game, showing his frustration.

In the two years with the Jets, Bell rushed for 863 yards and 3 touchdowns in 17 games over two seasons.

"I still randomly think about how PISSED I used to be in the huddle when Adam Gase would call “21 dive” on 2nd & 10... that’s a HALF BACK DIVE FROM SHOTGUN for the people that doesn’t understand what that fully means … lol. “LeV I just need you to get 3 for a third and manageable” - Gase," Bell wrote on X.
