Jon Ford coming back for another season

[sdaly12]

"Above average"..why would you say that?

"Huge"? Miller not sufficient for the role? Understand the need for "grown men" v Bama - but we're getting hammered regardless. And whose development does he stunt by taking reps?

i think he is above average for all the DT's in power 5 conferences so if their are 120 schools with 2-3 a school that earn playing time.... i think he's in top 40-50......

I’m not just looking at bama. Looking at the whole season. I mean we all complained we never could kee guys from the draft now we get a guy back who’s been ok and we cry why the ****

Definitely wasn't crying, really indifferent to his return. "Huge" I took in terms of on-field which is debatable. In terms of a guy coming back when we've had so many early departures..I get that.
Hopefully we get a best case scenario in terms of motivation for the player and perhaps better coaching. Hopefully.

U can have enough age when they actually dont do anything on the field

 

[Colombie]

Glad to have him back.

 

[TrueFloridian]

Nesta ain’t leaving. Ford coming back is fine. He’s serviceable against most teams.

 

[rok]

Remember when we had like 8 available DL at VTech? Ford was possessed that day.

 

[skyman]

We need this big time, especially against teams like Bama, behind him we seem kinda small..

Grown man with size, will take it with a smile

 

[JgDaCane]

We'll take it 100%.

 

[mirvin88]

Anyone upset with Ford staying is a dumbass. He might not start but a decent four year player on DL rotation is needed.

 

[Canes Brotherhood]

Nesta leaving?

Nope coming back

 

[nuprin]

depth

always a positive.

Now its up to the staff to make PT 100% merit based.

I love that we’re finally getting guys back to provide depth...now we need to see if the coaches can divvy up PT correctly. We need the best guys to get majority of PT, but sprinkle in others to keep guys fresh and to develop younger guys with live game action so they are ready when their roles need to take the next step.

Huge in terms of changing our filter and keeping guys for senior seasons

What's holding him back in your opinion? I always thought there was more to him than he's shown

He simply can't run. He's strong but moves like a sloth.

 

[Swampcity]

Nesta leaving?

No, Nesta announced he's returning.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

You can't have enough age, depth and size on the interior DL.

Hopefully the new DL Coach can help him take his game to the next level.

We just saved 5 solo tackles per season here. Could not resist.

 

[Havanacane]

Jon Ford is what he is. He not getting any better

Disagree completely. Everyone has room for improvement

 

[miamimike]

Excellent!

CHRISTIANBARMORE only Had 22 tackles at dline and I know that’s much more than 5 but he’s projected 2nd round​

He is who he is. Kid just doesn't have that dogg in him. Lacks hustle and intensity.

I was being facetious. Jon had 19 total tackles. The kid just isn't productive. He had 1.5 TFL and 0 sacks. Barmore had 8 sacks and 37 total tackles. It's the sacks.
