Bad, very bad!
Thought this was kind of interesting. It's about Dee Ford but it's written by Geoff Schwartz and gives a decent little perspective on what your average guy goes through his first few years. Then he goes into some technical aspects of pass rushing and what Ford seems to be figuring out. Nothing mind blowing but I thought it was a decent read.

If his career is over I hope Schwartz writes more stuff, I think I've seen a couple of other good things from him.

Schwartz is a solid writer from what i've gleaned from the articles he's written. He did a really good one around the start of the season about what it's like being an NFL journeyman o-line player, a little bit of what offensive line coaches ask of players, etc. It's a good read. http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2016/07/11/geoff-schwartz-guest-monday-morning-qb-nfl-detroit-lions

I don't remember the game or QB, but I remember a ref threw the flag for intentional grounding and the other refs congregated and they picked up the flag because it was just a horrible pass.

Honestly the two man sack play wasn't a bad play by him.

There's 9 guys in coverage, his line lets both of the rushers through immediately. There's nothing you can do in that situation.

I'd ask how many Vikings offensive starters still have functioning legs left, but Long was already a mid-season acquisition. Hope is a lie, hail Satan.

He is now, but at a certain point there's just not enough guys with the physical requirements to play left tackle and the pickings are so slim that he was already starting for a team.

The replacement is going to be bad

I've heard it mentioned that Alex Boone might be playing LT and the Vikings will go shopping for a guard. Either way, it's a pretty grim situation for 'em.
