Why Do Yall Want To See Ford

For me personally, he looked good in the spring game, and hasn't fumbled yet.

bc hes from leesville

to me, the coaches will play whos doing best in practice

if ford isnt there yet, then sit him

Ware is out and Murphy questionable, I think people will get their wish.

He ran for 100+ in both spring games and made us all question if our run D was a problem... we now know how good our run D is... Ford needs to be given the rock a few times, period.

Gotcha, coach

Because of this:

Yes this all from high school, I know. But it is part of the reason why people want to see him, on top of his performances in scrimmages, and the fact Miles and Crowton spoke extremely highly of him.

That, and Miles continues to say he wants to get Mike Ford the ball, yet it doesn't happen.

I'm not saying these are my reasons, but there probably are reasons for some people.

You mentioned if its not broke then don't fix it. You are correct, but how do you know Ford wouldn't be better than Ridley?

Why did the Yankee fans want to see Lou Gehrig get in the game? Wally Pipp was an excellent first baseman.

I want to see who Miles wants to see...I'm good with Ridley...Ford is a 3rd string back...It's been said time and again...
