I heard this morning that Hali and Houston played all 82 Denver offensive snaps on Sunday. Dee Ford played 0.

Bob Robinson is brilliant.

Its hard to understand why Sutton cant find even a few spots in games to get Ford some experience... he really cant put Hali or Houston inside once in a while to try and get as much talent on the field as possible in known passing situations?

For having studied under Ryan this guy has NO imagination, when have we ever seen Bob do what Ryan occasionally did against Miami in the secondary by playing one side of the field man and the other zone?

Sutton might have the same playbook as Ryan, but he only uses half of it.

Hard to imagine a year from now Ford getting all of Tamba's snaps.

I wonder how many snaps Ford has got since he was trending on Yahoo!'s front page for running away from a running back?

No its not.
Its a dumb statement.

The only reason anyone though trulek was anything other than a scrub was because TG said some shit during TC.

To say he had an elite first step is absolute asinine.

Tamba and a lot of others are going to be shot come PO time and I think evidence of exhaustion is already showing.
do you remember what happened to Poe at the end of last season.
Well Sutton doesnt.
none of our back ups are getting game time reps and our starters are getting ridden into the ground.
Ford has shown flashes when he was on the field.
When someone compares Ford's talent to R kal, I have to question why I come here.

Then your memory is off.

It absolutely showed when Truluck played that he had an elite first step. I would show you on youtube or something, but nobody gives a shit about Truluck because he sucked as a player.

THE POINT IS that a good first step is only icing on the cake. It's nice to have and can provide that extra boost to become a great player IF you do all the other things right as a pass rusher. Truluck was deficient in those areas. He had zero upper body strength, he had no moves, wasn't very fast, he couldn't bull rush, and he was terrible at recognizing the play.

Remind you of anybody currently on the Chiefs?

Truluck was a shitty player and a false hope that a Vermeil defense could have ANYBODY in the front 7 worth a squirrel fart (until Jared Allen came along). And Dee Ford is unfortunately showing the exact same qualities as a player.

Before jamaal Charles was jamaal Charles Haley deactivated him because he was a bust and wasn't good enough ... hard to know about a guy when he's been given no chance

lol

It's funny that it reads just as well if you read it as Charles Haley.

it's hard to type on your phone =)

The guy has barely played. He showed great strength and speed at the combine. He's also learning the LB position after playing DE.

Good Christ. Can we at least see this guy play before we call him a dumpster fire instead of judging on an extremely small sample size?

Anybody who watched Jamaal Charles play in 2008 and 2009 would be an idiot to think that he couldn't make a name for himself in this league. Besides, he wasn't our 1st round pick. We were much more concerned about Glenn Dorsey and Branden Albert than Charles.

We're a group of Auburn fans away from Dee Ford being Ricky Stanzi.

We're not saying it's impossible that Ford can't turn the corner. We're saying it's bullshit that Dorsey's first round picks get "buffer" years in which they are allowed to play like crap as much as they want because they're raw.
