Why I'm loving this Andrew Ford kid.

The more tape I watch of Andrew Ford, the more I fall in love with his game. This young man has a very good arm and his decision making seems to be very good. I was doing some late night youtube creeping and stumbled upon this gem. I love this clip is because it shows Ford's ability to make a quick read as well as make a very, very good throw.

So what are we looking at here? Focus on the left side of the screen, where we have two WR's lined up. There are also three defenders, who give a zone look (probably a "Quarters" or Cover-4 zone, though it's hard to tell without seeing the whole field). Ford's read is on the deep safety to his left. Ford's slot receiver will run a route to sit in front of the safety, and the wide receiver will run a go attacking the CB. If the Safety assists on the Go, Ford throws to the slot for an easy completion.

But if the safety attacks the slot receivers route (as we see here) then Ford has to make the more difficult throw down the field to the one-on-one CB vs WR match-up, which Ford nails.

I'm looking forward to watching this kid play.
