Bell is interesting because he has a unique style of seeking the hole with the whole bouncing around thing, usually his style drives coaches crazy because they preach find the hole follow the block.
BB might be content with running a run blitz all after noon, trying to nullify the gaps and forcing him into the free linebacker who's job is to find work.
The danger of this strategy is it gives you limited pass options, you can either go man to man and hope and pray or say screw it stack the box attack the gaps leave a free flow linebacker and dare Pittsburgh to out throw a Brady offense.

I don't think I was far off except the Pats weren't super aggressive in terms of attacking the gaps, they were pretty passive in terms of watching the gaps but playing the lb'ers in close.
