The only thing Ford does on a plus level is blow past an OT for a sack. That's it. A part of why we were so bad against the run is that all you had to do was pull a guard out and run on him. He NEVER ****ing set an edge, ever. He's a really poor run defender. It's not about "Does he have the size requirements" its "Can he do it", and the answer is, no, no he can't." And the wide 9 stuff- You can't run that shit every down. You don't want to spread yourself out like that, leaving all that space for running lanes. I mean, offenses work to spread defenses out, you can't just hand it to them. He's a situational pass rusher. That's all. He'd be a fine piece to keep around if it wasn't going to cost you $15 million. |

All I'm getting from reading this is that we tag and trade Ford.

A 3-4 is a more flexible defense to run and harder to defend against. I hope the Chiefs don't decide to switch to a 4-3 but like everyone except a few guys running the show it's not up to me. On top of that we're pretty set at nose tackle.

The two highest sack totals this year were Donald and Jones, both coming up the middle. With a 4-3 you have more guys in that middle so you would expect to get better pressure on the QB more consistently. Just not enough time on most plays for an outside guy to get home. |

running the 4-3 makes sense to me because it will be easier to find pieces. Most colleges run 4-3 so it will less reliance on "project guys" to make into your scheme. |

Restructure Houston.
Tag and trade Ford. Sign Trey Flowers. Speaks - Nnadi - Jones - Flowers Houston - Hitchens - DOD Whether we stayed in a 3-4 or switched to a 4-3.....we'd still need CBs and safeties. |

We have a pretty good idea of what spagnuolos top priority will be. Out of 10 drafts as DC for the giants, half of the first and second round picks went to a DB. Not to mention they signed janoris Jenkins to a huge deal. Our secondary is going to see a huge facelift and I'm definitely cool with that.

And then your pass rush is depleted. You really think we get better on D without both of those guys?
I don’t see any way they let both go when we’re this close. |

Which is why I'd restructure Houston and keep him at SLB. Either draft a replacement for Ford at WDE or find one in FA. Ford is not going to be worth the franchise tag or a long term deal in this defense.
