Hali had good consistent pressure again today, but he's not Ford or Houston. This is our only hope to beat Brady in the playoffs.

If Dee Ford had Hali's motor and relentless will, he'd possibly be able to become a generational player.
Tamba is the most dedicated and driven player I have seen since when he came out of Penn St. He had average measurables at best, and was little more than raw in his technique. Then after Jared left he was asked to learn a completely different position.
I love the dude and worry how his health will hold up after football, because he left everything he had and a bit more on the field game in and game out.
As for Ford, the sky is the limit, but all depends on his dedication. His first step is better than anyone has seen since DT. Playing time is starting to reap their rewards. It will be up to him if he wants to take it to the next level and truly master his game and be a force at his position.
