Dee Ford's first step
We've all seen the videos and gifs of this kid in college looking like he's being shot out of a cannon when the ball is snapped. I had wondered whether or not it would translate to the next level. Sometimes the snap is a bit easier to time in College than it is in the pros.

To be honest, Ford's college film looks eerily similar to how Derrick Thomas used to 'load up' just before the ball was snapped in anticipation. DT had a freakish knack for timing the snap of the ball and being 2 steps to the quarterback before the Tackle/TE/RB or whatever unfortunate soul was attempting to block him had a chance to react.

Ford, until last Sunday, had been asked to drop back in coverage a lot in his reps. This week, we were able to see him get to rush the passer. Dee made a couple of big, disruptive plays, including a huge 4th down tackle for a loss. I did come across this gif, that I absolutely love.

Ford 'loads up' just as Thomas used to right as the ball is about to be snapped and then literally blasts across the line of scrimmage with seemingly inhuman straight-line speed for a man of his size. Obviously, he's still a work in progress and needs to round out his game...but I think this guy is going to be a staple and cornerstone of this team for years to come. (Also, for reaction comparison, and probably an indictment on his age, watch Tamba's rush in contrast to Ford's. ha.)

He has one play where he got off the line quick, so you assume it wasn't a wasted pick because of that one play?

I know so his comment was pointless. IMO I think it was reach and I still don't like the pick

WTF do you like about this team? Is this a place you come to just to bitch and whine? Or do you just do that all the time and no one else will listen to your shit, so you have do it behind a keyboard. You are a pathetic attention whore, your worse than a woman. Get a life, you God damn loser!

Your doing it wrong. That is not how things work around here. Your either a blind homer declaring Ford as the second coming of Derrick Thomas or your cynical and say he's terrible and Clark Hunt clearly is more concerned about his private suite inside the stadium than fielding a true contender because why else would he allow Reid and Dorsey to ruin this franchise!

Just like how you assume he is a wasted pick because of 20 snaps in 2 games.

If we have a shot at Vic Beasley and pass because we took Ford over a number of other players who would have started immediately for us? Yes.
