The Ford Report bows in the general direction of McBeane. The Jagoffs game last year sealed Ford's fate. Although he redeemed himself somewhat in the games he played after that, he never fully recovered. Ford was weak at the point of attack when blocking straight ahead. He lacked leverage and push, never really making the second level. What became clear from watching the tape is that he was most effective when pulling and trapping. He could block when on the move laterally, but straight ahead, not so much. His pass blocking in the Jagoffs game also left a lot to be desired. They sent exotic blitzes at him that clearly confused him. He kept blocking the wrong man on combo blocks, and was unable to slide to the correct player, instead watching that player go through the hole where Ford was supposed to be, on the way to abuse JA17. His pass blocking wasn't nearly as bad in the games that followed, but it was clearly not enough. Good luck to Cody Ford, but we are stronger without him.
