Moving a 250 pound linebacker to defensive end in a 3-4 sounds about like the worst idea imaginable. Might as well just put a flashing neon light on his helmet that says 'run here'.

This aint Madden

Put Hali on the line if anything.

If you think he's only had two good games, you're not watching.

This is my fear as well. I can only hope that these easy lines are slowing the game down for him and making it less costly to commit marginal errors. If he can gain some confidence in these games, and get the inevitable lumps over with, maybe he will be what we'd all hoped.

I'm sure it's true to some extent, but it's not like Von Miller and Houston don't get a bunch of sacks against weak lines either.

I said Dee Ford looked like shit when he looked like shit.

I didn't say he was a bust. I said he's going to have to stop looking like shit if he doesn't want to be a bust.

I ain't eating shit.

LMAO



5. When Justin Houston comes back, how do you see Dee Ford fitting in? He’s earned a place in there somewhere. Maybe split with Tamba Hali? — @RealMcCoy44

Ford has absolutely earned a role going forward. With his huge 3 1/2 -sack game, Ford has recorded seven this season, which puts him on pace for 16. And here’s the thing ... he genuinely seems to be looking forward to Houston’s return. Hali, 32, is dealing with knee problems and is content with a pinch-hitting role, so I’d imagine a solid three-man rotation — with Ford featured prominently — is in the cards. On passing downs, all three of them can play, with either Hali or Houston shifting inside. It will be up to defensive coordinator Bob Sutton to make it work, but I can tell you those guys are looking forward to it.

For CP, madden is real football.

What will most likely happen when Houston is back 100%, is you will see Houston/hali most of the time to match personnel unless its a definite situation or posse groupings (3/4 wr sets). might even see hali there if its a running situation. I'm not shitting on Ford, I just feel hali is better overall in any random situation.

edit: like that article suggusts, a split role. definitely have hali vs heavier sets

Ford is a ****ing beast and when houston comes in oh shit it time for the pain train!

True. I am more talking about his game as a whole: run defense, zone coverage, and pass rushing. If he can develop where we need him by the end of the season, we may see a terrifying Chiefs defense.

When Houston returns you rotate all 3 just like you have been doing with Zombo.
Houston will definitely be on a pitch count for awhile which is completely fine with me. Ease him back

Llllloaded loaded.

Ford is at his best on the LoS ... period.

ROLB/Rushbacker is where he belongs

I'm not talking about madden

ROLB/RDE - Hali
Houston in at his normal spot LOLB


Bring Ford in on the left of Dline (with extra Dline because of passing down)



Extra pass rushers are used by other teams all the time


It's really shocking how little people around here actually know about football.
