October 16, 20223 yr Man Ford is all over the place. Really productive player. Just a ton of tackles every week.

October 16, 20223 yr If Watts can't go they need to work Barron at CB and let Gilbeau man Star. Jordan/Brooks just aren't ready yet.
October 16, 20223 yr Just now, SarkAfterDark said: If Watts can't go they need to work Barron at CB and let Gilbeau man Star. Jordan/Brooks just aren't ready yet. Yep. That was the combo they tried late today. Brooks and Jordan will be good players in a year or two but Barron is the better corner right now by far.
October 16, 20223 yr Ford= Underappreciated bad ass. Edited October 16, 20223 yr by Coach pop a bitch

Ryan Watts was the 2nd leading tackler against Cyclones, and he left the game in the 2nd quarter Also Jamier Johnson was hurt and not available for this game vs the Cyclones...

Another completion for 7 yards on 1st down. He did what’ll probably be two “stop” under the PFF system.

October 16, 20223 yr One thing I didn't realize was that Ford was the one that recovered the fumble. Kid is solid. Int and fumble recovery.

October 21, 20223 yr Ford did a good job looking back and finding the receiver before his redzone pick. However, I feel like too often our linebackers disappear when they drop into coverage. Particularly against ISU.

November 6, 20223 yr For me Ford had been the best defender on this team. Even when he screws up he has the ability to forget and come right back. Thought watts played a solid game. Love that he's not afraid to make a tackle

However, I feel like too often our linebackers disappear when they drop into coverage. Particularly against ISU. Likely because Tucker-Dorsey and #43 are not P5 LBs. Ford isn't great at it yet, but he's getting better at it. Overshown is used more to rush the passer than dropping into coverage.

November 11, 20223 yr Author The Athletic (thx @Hookem2147 ) New-look defenses Coaches see Texas’ defensive line as its strength. The depth is significant — “they’re able to roll about eight dudes through there,” a staffer said — and opponents have noticed their size and strength. Improved linebacker play, led by the emergence of junior Jaylan Ford, has made a difference for the Longhorns. Ford leads the Big 12 with 82 tackles and has made multiple key plays this season, particularly an end zone interception against Iowa State that shifted momentum. “Ford has played beyond expectations,” a staffer said. “He’s really talented.” The secondary garnered less praise, with multiple coaches calling it an area to exploit. “Secondary-wise, we didn’t think they were world beaters,” a head coach said. “We felt like we could throw the ball on them.” Said a staffer: “They’re OK. They can get exposed a little bit there. I think they play not to get beat at times.” Overall, a head coach called them “definitely better” on defense, attributing some of that improvement to being in the second year of the same scheme under defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski.
