We are going to miss that guy.
But what was really great about that highlight reel is we get to watch football like players and coaches look at a football play.
As spectators we naturally follow the ball in the play...to the detriment of seeing how the play actually works. This was a fullback highlight film, but similar ones could be put together for each position. In this video we got to focus on the FB and his role in the play... and not so much on the ball. Sometimes Ward was the key to making the play, other times he was just doing his job taking on his man far from where the play was going. It's obvious, though, that Ward loves contact, loves to take on his man.Â
I'm going to watch it again...and maybe again after that. Would love to see the same with OL.
