Ford's lack of carries the last 2 games is baffling


No it's not, Blue is outplaying him. We don't see practices but Miles rewards players that have a good practice week with playing time.

I don't get the support for one productive player over another one, Blue is getting it done, this is not a deal where Blue is getting carries and not producing.

Ford is solid, he will get his shot but instead of worrying about why he or Beckham did not get touches how 'bout praising Blue and Randle and what they did when they got the ball?

No, he's not.

Blue is playing well, and I'm happy for that. He has earned some carries for sure. However, Ford got one carry. You can't say that Blue is outplaying him when Ford gets one carry.

It is pretty obvious that Miles is trying to communicate something to Ford. What that is, who knows. I think we can only speculate. Maybe it's as some have suggested that his blocking has been subpar.

Blue is a fine back. He's got good body lean and he plays hard. Ford is a different kind of runner, though, because he is a threat to score every play. Only other back on the team with that kind of ability is Shepard (if you call him a "back").

You can't say one, then say the other.

We don't know why Blue is playing, and Ford isn't. McGee had more carries than Ford yesterday.
