Dee Ford could NEVER do that.

Lots of things don't happen last year.
1) No, Ford doesn't occupy that double team. 2) When #80 peels off, Hitchens is coming hard down the hill and immediately locks him up. He doesn't get walled off and leave Fournette with an easy lane and a lead blocker. Hitchens of last year likely doesn't completely swallow up that TE and keep him from clearing a lane 3) The critical player here - ****ing Wilson is shot out of a cannon in pursuit. Him getting across the formation like that and making that tackle kept that from being a 6-8 yard play before Hitchens and Thornhill finished the play. Last year Ford gets pushed back and the the LT/TE are probably able to get into Hitchens significantly earlier, allowing the TE to peel upfield. Ragland doesn't get through the wash and so you end up with Fournette and the TE in the open field vs. Lucas. Lucas was always a game run defender but I don't think he gets the tackle there. At best he re-direct Fournette to the middle. A 3-4 yard gain on that run is probably in the 15+ range on last year's defense and it took strong efforts from Clark/Hitchens (and a damn nice play from Wilson) to blow that up. Hell of a nice demonstration of team D there.

Spags and his staff saw big value in Alex Okafor, Damien Wilson, Alex Okafor, Emmanuel Ogbaha and hopefully Darron Lee. So far that appears to be paying off.
This makes me feel good about the future because more of this with another offseason should make the defense that much better each year.
