Terez Paylor article on Dee Ford

The biggest problem I have with Ford is that he doesn't have much of a "feel" for the game (much like Albert ****ing Wilson). Hopefully, that improves with each game.

Dadi Nicolas, a rookie 6th rounder who's 20 pounds lighter and is also a converted 4-3 end, already seems to "get it". His containment is better and his pass rushing skills are bad ass. He played well against the Bears first team offense yesterday.

That kid reminds me so much of Tamba. Their mentality, effort and passion for the game are eerily similar.

Kid just needs an offseason in the weight room to bulk up so he can stop the run.

Send Dadi to Chiefsshrink.
He'll have him bulked up by week 2.

This is how I feel. He just looks like he's not a very good football player. He has no instincts. He looks like he's afraid of contact. The only thing the guy has shown is athleticism, and that's not going to be enough in the NFL.

The guy should be playing like his ass is on fire now that he finally has his chance. He's not.

Nailed it... It's like he can get there, but once there he doesn't know what to do. He allows himself to get caught up in the trash by just being there. Not very instinctive at all. I'd be happy if he can develop just into a consistent pass rusher.
