We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

According to The Leesville Leader newspaper's FB page:

One of the best and maybe THE best high school running back I ever saw. I assume he would only be a practice squad candidate, or this might just be the Saints nabbing some nice PR by giving a local kid a chance.

Can he play defense?

A product of my home town!

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

You are from Leesville? Got any of the good drugs on you? :lol:

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

Kick returner.

Cecil "the Diesel" Collins was the best I ever saw. Flopped with the Dolphins after a good career at LSU. Couldn't stay out of ladies' bedrooms.

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

He's out now by the way...and also from leesville.

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

Besides a few specialty positions... RB is probably the last position they need to be looking at.

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

I thought he wasn't as much of a flop as he was a purp.... of crime. He enjoyed forcible break-ins along with rape... I think the last time society allowed him to break, enter and rape he said "I only wanted to watch her sleep."

Maybe he can play linebacker...

I never saw him play HS ball. People still talk about him down there all the time. Wish I'd had the chance, I missed him by one year.

I don't think he played very much at LSU though. 4 or 5 games, maybe? he got hurt and then kicked off the team. Then he went to McNeese and got kicked out of there too.

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

Yes, you are correct JV. Only played briefly at LSU however while on the field, he was an absolute monster. Had so much talent and potential then he turned into a peeping tom and it was down hill from there.

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

It was sad watching what Cecil did to himself. And yes, he was a helluva RB at LSU

He also played for Dolphins, I watched his first NFL game, he was trucking over people dude really was a Diesel. Sad though. They said he basically had the mind of a child from one article I read.

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

He might have played defense in Leesville. But at 5'9", he's likely a bit too short to compete at CB.:broccoli:

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

Michael Ford has more talent than Cadet. He's got good strength, speed and quickness. He could play special teams and return kicks. I think he'd be our fastest RB.

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

He should be a better returner than Cadet is...

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

he was the team in HS. Period. He was a freak of nature and it was nothing short of amazing to watch. Wossman HS stopped him cold in his senior year in the quarter finals. It took all 11 of them on defense, but because we never passed...and I mean ever, they sold out and stopped him. Such a shame what he did to himself.

I saw a brief interview a while back, right after he was released. He seems to be at peace with all that has happened. I guess that's the best a person can hope for.

He was the best pure running back I've ever seen.

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

We need defense, can he play defense?

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

Not if McMahon's coaching him...

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

Maybe they were practicing tackling him, LOL.

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

Good. look at all possibilities.

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

The Diesel was a beast, love watching him run. Just too bad he was an idiot.

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

Also love my LSU guys but no thanks on another RB, not a position of need.

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

interesting

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

Punt returns and save Cooks?

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

Mark out. Michael in?

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

I have an idea, how about a Corner ?

Re: We tried out RB Michael Ford today
 

At least we know why we tried out a RB. Mark out for a month, we might can use more depth for a little while
