I dunno.. more than 2 games where he didnt completely blow nutsacks

Can I still hate on Alex Smith? This offense was nice to watch today under Foles.

Even more than stats, one can see performance on the field. I didn't get to see the whole game, but in the roughly two quarters that I saw, Dee Ford was incredibly explosive off the edge. Whether he got sacks or not, he was a force to be reckoned with.

This I agree with.

Right now he's doing exactly what he should do: racking up some stats against some of the league's worst lines.

He's not starting over Tamba when Houston is back. 3rd down spell for either will work, but I cant see him starting over Hali. Ford has been improving, but Hali has been playing consistently well.

Yes, he is. Hali will move into a 3rd down role, only, most likely with Ford on the line.

Why in the hell would they sit Ford when he's got 7 sacks and Hali hasn't started all year?

I think Hali has been awesome in his limited snaps, but, that's likely because they are limited snaps.

He's at an age where he will play his best if only in for part of the game.

Yep.

Amazing how Ford is getting better with actually getting playing time. Never would have thought that .....

You guys go easy on GoatCheese, he has a disability.

He is playing well but lets be honest most of his sacks are coverage sacks. I don't really see him getting to the QB quick like J Houston does or a prime Hali but he is getting better week-to-week and that is very encouraging.

If Sutton doesn't move Ford to RDE when Houston comes back he should be beaten in the nutsack with bamboo poles. Hali can play limited snaps to keep himself fresh while teaching Ford how to maximize his natural quickness and talent.

In certain situations Hali,Houston and Ford can all be on the field.

...these are the top 1500 football players in the country.

...there is no easy game.

Kudos to Ford.

I count those coverage sacks and last week he gave credit to the backfield and said his sack was a coverage sack he just kept after it. Those aren't easy to get because you have to chase after a quarterback who is taking off or trying avoid the sack. Quarterbacks can be elusive. He has earned his sacks now he can't help it if some of the RT aren't all pro to go up against but he is working hard and good things are coming his way for his hard work.

Very encouraging I agree.
