re: Michael Ford should be the starting RB IMO

I was soooo pumped about Ford when we signed him, but I am sorry I think Ware is the better back. I want both to split carries but Ware is better at getting that little extra out of each carry and has great hands can block with the best of them.

I have posted this almost exact thing about a dozen times in the past year.

I know Michael Ford personally - watched him play four years at my hometown. Was really pumped when he went to LSU.

But I am convinced Ware is the better Running Back - he can do things Ford can't - or won't. Pass blocking is the primary reason, I think, why his touches are limited as much as they are.

It pained me to see him miss a couple of blocks last night - almost got Lee smeared on one of them - and I do believe the pass would have been complete had Lee not had a DLB crushing him as he let go.
