Ford needs to gt better FAST. He's gonna be a starter and the parity in the league is so tight that we can't afford him to learn via "trial and error". What with Houston's status, we need Ford to be a complete OLB, not just a pass rusher. He's gotta consistently set the edge, dirty his nose on running plays, drop into coverage decently, etc. That's a lot to ask from where I think he is right now. Heck, I'm more impressed with Dadi Nicolas than I am Dee Ford. I think Dadi has a toughness about him that I just don't see with Ford.
* In the interests of fair and complete reporting, please understand that I never much cared for the Dee Ford selection, so there is a bias there on my part.
** Furthering the interests of fair and complete reporting requires me to note that I didn't form said bias based on the guys name or complexion or any such thing. Said bias was DEVELOPED after seeing this guy perform.
*** So happy we're finally seeing some football again!!!
