Dee Ford is Having Way Too Much Fun at Jadeveon Clowney's Expense

Former Auburn defensive end Dee Ford is a quality player that is going to go in the first round of the draft; somewhere in the low 20's. There is this other defensive end--former South Carolina star Jadeveon Clowney--that is expected to go much, much higher than him and he doesn't like it.

Why? Because he says he's better and that other guy plays like a blind dog in a meat market.

Ouch! Well that wasn't very nice. Yet, when the two met at the Combine on the field it did not appear as if there was any bad blood between them at all. Than again, it does appear as if Clowney motions towards the camera as if to say "you know I can't do to you right now what I should do to you, right?"

Or maybe he knows he is going to make a lot more than Ford next season and doesn't care what he says. Anyway...

As could be expected, Ford's comments drew a lot of attention online. Had there been nothing after that the whole mess would have probably died--but that was not the case. Instead, with his latest comments Monday he drove the point home a little more (via SI):

"When I rely on my athleticism rather than bring the technical aspects, the fundamental part, watch film to become a great pass rusher, I become a blind dog in a meat market. When I watch Jadeveon that’s what I see. He’s 6-foot-6, 240 and he just plays. But at the end of the day, does that make you a great pass rusher or a better pass rusher than me?

No."

Okay. That's not too bad--but there was more:

"We’re not saying that dog can’t run. We’re just saying he can’t find the meat."

Ouch! But it was all in good fun of course.

"That wasn’t a personal shot at him at all. It’s just fun, it’s competition."

Fun for him, but if you pair it up with what Snoop Dogg said it gets kind of interesting. Snoop referred to Clowney as a great player that has not been coached; that he plays on instinct and raw talent.

Kind of like a blind dog in a meat market--eager, effective, but inefficient due to lack of guidance and instruction (and maybe after he eats a little minus the motivation too).

Huh--could Dee be on to something?
