BGA: Scouting Jacoby Ford
Earlier this week, the Jets signed cornerback Dimitri Patterson and wide receiver Jacoby Ford to one-year deals. Jets fans might not know too much about these two players, so I've been looking at game film to try and assess what each of them brings to the table. I took a look at Patterson yesterday, so now we turn our attentions to Ford.
Ford is a 26-year old receiver and kick returner who is listed at 5-9 and 190 pounds. The former fourth round pick out of Clemson has returned four kickoffs for touchdowns in his NFL career and has also caught 57 passes for 848 yards and three touchdowns. He's also rushed for two scores. However, all nine of his career touchdowns came in his first one and a half seasons, as he missed the second half of 2011 and all of 2012 with injuries and wasn't very productive in his return to action last year. Ford is best known for his speed. He was a highly decorated track athlete in college and ran a 4.28 forty yard dash at the 2010 combine.
After the jump, observations from reviewing footage from Ford's career so far to evaluate his strengths and weaknesses.
Who is Jacoby Ford?
The diminutive Ford went to college at Clemson where he was a productive wide receiver and kick returner between 2006 and 2009. He also competed as a track athlete, winning several titles including the 2009 NCAA championship in the 60-yard dash. It was no surprise when he ran well at the 2010 scouting combine, putting up a 4.28 in the 40-yard dash. This led to the Raiders drafting him in the fourth round.
As a rookie, Ford looked destined for stardom. He returned three kickoffs for touchdowns and had a career year in terms of both receiving and rushing numbers. All that offensive production was squeezed into the last 10 games, as Ford was barely used on offense in the first six weeks. However, within a month, he'd racked up two 100-yard receiving games. Against the Chiefs in week nine, he returned a kickoff for a touchdown and caught six passes for 148 yards, including a 47-yard catch in overtime to set up the winning field goal. Ford was named Pepsi rookie of the week for his efforts.
In Ford's second season, he looked set to eclipse these numbers, but missed half the season with a foot injury, returning in week 16. He did return another kickoff for a score in week six. A recurrence of that foot injury caused him to require surgery and miss the entire 2012 season and in 2013 his production was disappointing. Ford did not have a kickoff return of longer than 30 yards, struggled with fumbles when moved onto punt return duty and saw his playing time and targets at receiver disappear, ending the season with less than 100 yards receiving.
The numbers
Three seasons (missed 2012 entirely)
38 games, 13 starts
57 catches, 848 yards and three touchdowns
53% catch rate
Seven drops
19 carries for 201 yards and two touchdowns
Eight tackles (one on special teams)
Nine punt returns for 77 yards, eight fair catches
75 kickoff returns for a 25.0 yard average, four touchdowns
Ten fumbles, with three lost (seven on special teams)
Five penalties
It's pretty obvious what Ford was capable of – here's a good highlight reel displaying just how dynamic he was in 2010 and 2011. However, two questions remain. One being what his weaknesses are, but the more overriding question being whether he can still make those kinds of plays. I'll therefore mostly be focusing on Ford's 2013 performance to get an insight into this.
Ford's foot injury had apparently fully healed entering preseason, but unfortunately he then had a minor injury to further set him back. Once the season got underway, he returned kickoffs for the first six games but then was moved out of that role and onto punts, which he was doing for the first time in his career and struggled with. Ford was only ever a fourth or fifth option at receiver and his reps dried up altogether towards the end of the year as the Raiders worked Andre Holmes into the lineup instead. Ford was actually healthy all year, but was a healthy scratch over the last three games. There was one minor spark in preseason, as he returned a kickoff 62 yards.
Based on all the footage watched, here was what Ford brings to the table, divided into categories:
Measurables – Ford is obviously very small, which doesn't help him in terms of staying healthy. He maintained in an interview yesterday that he's still as fast as he ever was. Ford once ran a 100-meter dash in 10.01 and returned a kickoff 100 yards in 11 seconds. Aside from his 4.28 forty time, the rest of his combine numbers were actually pretty unspectacular.
Usage – In 2013, Ford was lined up on the outside approximately two-thirds of the time and in the slot the rest of the time. He did not line up in the backfield although he has done that in the past. Ford has taken one wildcat snap in his career.
Deep threat – In 2013, Ford was targeted six times beyond 20 yards downfield (and twice more in preseason). The only success was a 22-yard catch on a back shoulder thrown down the seam. However, he has shown the ability to get downfield in the past, as you'll have seen if you watched the above highlight reel. In 2010 and 2011, he caught seven such passes for 251 yards on 17 attempts.
Blocking – With his relative lack of size, Ford doesn't contribute much as a blocker, but does appear to give a good effort. He did have one good block on a screen pass where he did a good job of preventing his man from getting to the outside in the slot. On another play he made a good initial block, but his man fought it off to get in on the tackle.
Routes – Most of the passes Ford caught last season were dump-offs in the flat, but he did have a couple of sticks plays. On one play, he faked on an end around and then reversed back on a wheel route in the other direction, but the disguise didn't really work. Perhaps the best route he displayed all year was a well executed slant for a first down in preseason where he planted hard to get a step on his man. On one outside route, he allowed Tim Jennings to muscle him towards the sideline so there wasn't much room for the quarterback to fit his throw.
Hands – Ford didn't have any bad drops last season. In fact, he only has two drops since 2010 per PFF. Ford did have one drop in the regular season and two more in preseason, but none of these were too bad. One was on a fourth down where he got open on a rub route but the pass was far too low. Another was disrupted by Jonathan Joseph on a throw that should have been further to the outside – and may even have been tipped by Joseph. The other saw him get a step on the outside, but the ball was high and behind him so he couldn't make a tough jumping catch on the sideline.
In terms of the catches he did make, I have to give him credit for hanging onto two downfield first down grabs where he was nailed as the ball arrived, one of which saw him sandwiched between three defenders. He didn't really make any spectacular catches last season, but you can get a sense of what he can do in the 2010/11 highlight reel above.
For Ford, the bigger issue is that he sometimes fails to protect the ball downfield. Most of his fumbles came at the end of a run where he had initially beaten a tackle or two. This happened twice on punts in 2013, which was perhaps an adjustment he needed to make in a role which was new to him at the pro level.
Yards after the catch – Ford's numbers here are strong, but that's largely because he catches a lot of screen passes. Even last year, his average YAC per catch would have placed him in the top 20, although he fell just short of the snap count requirement. In 2011, he was 4th among players with at least 200 snaps, although he only broke a total of three tackles.
Instincts – I didn't see any blown assignments by Ford, who also seems to have excellent instincts as a runner. At times, he did run back kicks where there was little chance of him getting back to the 20, but you can perhaps attribute that to poor blocking as much as poor reads. Also, some of these were in preseason, where he was likely to run the ball out no matter what.
Special Teams – Ford's return abilities have been well documented, but he was not very impressive last year apart from on that one return in preseason. Other than on returns, he is sometimes employed as a punt gunner, albeit only a handful of times last year. However, he has the pure speed to be effective in such a role.
Ford has said he'll be in the competition for the kickoff and punt return role. On the face of it, Ford's cameo as a punt returner didn't go too well last year, as he had three fumbles and only nine returns. Only one of the fumbles was a muffed catch and that bounced right back to him. However, there was one punt that he misjudged terribly and missed his catch altogether. The opposition recovered the ball, but replays ultimately showed that Ford had somehow managed not to touch it as he missed the catch and then the ball bounced over him as he fell over. He did look more comfortable catching the ball from that point on and did show some promise in terms of his ability to make the first guy miss and make decent yardage, he just needed to protect the ball better at the end of these returns.
Attitude – All indications are that Ford has a good attitude. He was arrested on a DUI charge last year, but the district attorney declined to charge him.
Injuries – Ford's injury history can be summed up in one word which should send shivers down the spine of any die-hard Jets fans: Lisfranc. While Ford's Lisfranc injury was apparently not as severe as the one which felled Santonio Holmes in 2012, it did re-occur in the following season, requiring surgery. Now one year removed from that surgery, the hope would be that he might be closer to his old self than he was last season. As noted, he was healthy throughout 2013, apart from a sprained knee that hampered him in preseason.
When he first entered the league Ford was such an exciting and dynamic player. I wish I could tell you that's the guy the Jets are getting here, but obviously that's not possible. Still, if healthy, he brings a playmaking ability that the team hasn't had for some time.
Searching Dolphins blogs after the Patterson signing, I saw lots of comments that their fans had hoped he'd return and were disappointed to lose him to a division rival. However, the sentiment among the Oakland fanbase mostly seems to be that they're glad to see the back of Ford after his disappointing last few seasons.
Recovering from a Lisfranc injury isn't a straightforward thing, as Santonio Holmes showed last season, so the possibility exists that Ford was slowed down by that last year and might be closer to his old self in 2014.
From the 2013 footage, Ford still has that initial burst and some good elusiveness, but the Raiders just weren't able to get him into the open field too often for him to hit top gear. Maybe that says more about them than Ford himself. He definitely needs to protect the ball better though.
I wouldn't say Ford's spot on next year's team is guaranteed. However, he has a good chance to win the kick returner role and also contribute as a fourth or fifth option on offense. I wouldn't be surprised if they put in some special packages for him as they did with the likes of Saalim Hakim, Greg Salas and Josh Cribbs last year.
Ultimately, this is yet another low-risk move with potential upside. As we've seen, sometimes those work out and sometimes they don't, but the good news is that if it doesn't pay off, they haven't hurt themselves in the long run.

Granted, you'd need a rather sizable bathroom for this thing, and installing it might cost more than our rent. But if we were fielding a fantasy bath-time team, you can bet this shower would be one of our first-round picks.

My friend and I had the pleasure of accompanying Lake Otis Elementary students and teachers on a guided tour of the Alaska Native Heritage Center outdoor sites on Friday, May 10. The Lake Otis students were impressive! These students were respectful, actively listened, asked thoughtful questions and were well behaved. It was obvious their teachers have a positive influence on these young people.
Thanks to the Alaska Native Heritage Center for opening their doors to elementary students and to members of the Alaska Senior Activity Center. It was an enriching experience not to be missed.

Saving For Life's Milestones With New IRAs
Rev. 6/05
Savers traditionally use individual retirement accounts (IRAs) for, well ... retirement. Since 1998, two types of IRAs have encouraged people to save for life's other main events. The Education and Roth IRAs make it possible for you to save for retirement and for a child's postsecondary education or your first house. This is how they work:
The Education IRA, now called Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, allows you to save for any postsecondary education by investing up to $2,000 a year per child younger than age 18. The contribution is not tax-deductible. Instead, earnings grow tax-free and you pay no taxes or penalties on money withdrawn to pay for qualified expenses before the beneficiary reaches age 30. Otherwise you pay taxes on any earnings, plus an additional 10% penalty.
Qualified expenses include tuition, fees, books, elementary and secondary school expenses, computer technology or equipment--even online access--that the beneficiary uses while in school, and equipment required for enrollment or attendance at nearly any postsecondary educational institution. Certain room and board expenses may also qualify.
If you're a single filer, you can contribute the full amount per year if your modified adjusted gross income [from line 31 on your federal form 1040, as adjusted] is less than $95,000. The contribution limit gradually falls as your modified adjusted gross income climbs toward $110,000, at which point you can't contribute to an education IRA. For married couples filing jointly, the income limit spans from $190,000 to $220,000.
The Roth IRA allows you to contribute up to $4,000 a year in 2005 through 2007, and $5,000 a year in 2010. Beginning after tax year 2008, the limits will be adjusted annualy for inflation in $500 increments.
Like the Education IRA, contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible. Instead, you pay no taxes when you withdraw the money provided it's been in the account at least five years and: You are older than 59 1/2, or you become disabled, or you die and it's paid to your beneficiary, or you use the money for a first-time house purchase ($10,000 lifetime withdrawal limit).
Unlike the traditional IRA, which requires you to begin withdrawing money at age 70 1/2, the Roth IRA has no such requirement. You can let the money keep working, while earnings continue to grow tax-free, for as long as you like.
The income limits are identical to those for the Education IRA.
Even the traditional IRA is better with higher income limits and new penalty waivers. So stop by or call Denali Alaskan Federal Credit Union for all the details about how you can stretch your retirement savings with new and improved IRAs.

Volume Problems?
I know you can't fix it but i have to give my honest opinion, and this track is not one of your best. The volume isuses make me really annoyed, because i know it shouldn't be like that. The track changes style without any warning and surley it should be getting faster towards the end, not slower? The tempo is a problem too, as it seems to waver up and down like a pogo stick.
Still, it is a good tune and if it wasn't for the problems i listed above then it would have gotten a 9. Sorry.

I'll try and do this story justice
(I heard it 1st in the rooms of AA, Serenity Club CW FL 2007)
There was this old drunk, of the worst variety, sleeping under a bridge next to the river. As he is bedding down for the night, pulling the daily news around him for warmth, a sleek black limo pulls up and out steps the most beautiful woman he has ever seen!
The beautiful woman says to him, "You there!! What are you doing?"
The drunk says, "Going to bed"
Beautiful woman, "Nonsense!! I won't have it!! Come with me! I will take you to my mansion for the night and in the morning I will take you to my factory and put you to work, please get in my limo"
So the astounded drunk gets in and off they go. They arrive at her mansion and are greeted by the butler. The beautiful woman instructs her servant to show the drunk to the guest suite, draw him a bath, discard his rags and lay out new cloths. After the bath the man is treated to a fine meal! Clean, belly full and snuggled under the covers, the drunk is ready for sleep.
The beautiful woman passes his room and notices the light still on. She knocks and enters. She is wearing a very revealing and very sexy black negligée. The beautiful woman asks the drunk why he is still up. Are you not satisfied? Are the cloths ok? Was your bath warm enough? Was your meal sufficient? To all this the drunk responds with enthusiasm and ensures her that he could NOT ask for more!! He had been sleeping on cement and eating trash when she rescued him!! To that the beautiful woman states that obviously he must be very lonely and could use some company under the covers until he falls asleep. She approached the bed and asked him to move over so that she may join him. The drunk rolled over to give her room and promptly fell into the river...
The moral of this story is: Better to be Sober having a drunk dream then to be drunk, having a sober dream...
Better to be Sober having a drunk dream...

"'You do not understand. This is a clean and pleasant cafe. It is well lighted. The light is very good and also, now, there are shadows of the leaves.'"
— Ernest Hemingway, "A Clean Well-Lighted Place"
If my world were ever ending, I know where I would go — Jreck Subs in Alexandria Bay.
I would order the Italian Combo, white bread, with everything, shakers and oil. I might even get some sour cream and onion potato chips on the side.
I'd sit and eat my sandwich and think back on my life, what I did right and where I went wrong.
And I'm willing to bet that by the time I finished that sandwich, I would feel a lot better.
Because there's something about the Jreck Subs in Alexandria Bay that feels weirdly timeless.
These are the doldrums of summer. August has always been my least favorite month. And while I know more than a few good people with August birthdays, for me the month has always represented the dwindling of summer, the time when you reconcile yourself to the coming of autumn and responsibility.
It's no different this year, accelerated perhaps by the cooler weather we've been experiencing in the north country.
Even though I have long since graduated from my last educational institution, I still feel the press of September against the waning days of summer.
In the cooler weather, your body picks up speed, sweating the salt that dries on the skin. But until then, there is only the vast expanse of August.
And that is why I think back to that Jreck Subs, a place where it feels like something is always about to begin.
No matter what time of the year I eat there, it feels like late spring in a resort town, the time just before the tourists arrive when there is a quiet expectation in the air.
The decor seems to be late '80s or early '90s vintage and even the advertisements look as though they are from another age. But I find comfort in their familiarity, in their timelessness.
The booths and the walls and the ceiling have absorbed the thousand laughs of summers past and it is there, among the echoes, that I find solace.
You may choose to doubt any sentiment expressed by a man who chose to end his life with a shotgun in Idaho, but I've always thought Ernest Hemingway was on to something with his short story "A Clean Well-Lighted Place."
There is something enduringly romantic, or, if not romantic, at least appealing, about a quiet cafe in the evening — the prospect of uninterrupted reflection perhaps augmented by caffeine or alcohol, a chance to catch up with the world, or let the world go on ahead a bit to a point where you'll catch up with it later.
It may not be a cafe along the left bank of the Seine or anything else conventionally charming about it, but that Jreck Subs is a clean, well-lighted place.

one of only three commercially cultivated fruits native to North America, the cranberry
was a versatile staple in Native American life prior to
its arrival on the Thanksgiving table. In addition to using
cranberries as a food preservative and fabric dye, many
tribes believed cranberries were healing agents that could
calm the nerves and draw poison from arrow wounds.
today we may not suffer the slings of arrows, cranberries
could be the antidote for the "poison wounds"
of modern life. It has long been known that drinking cranberry
juice is a remedy for urinary tract infections, but new
evidence about how cranberries provide protection from bacteria
has led to a host of discoveries about their impact on other
ailments. In addition, recent knowledge of the berry's
antioxidant properties points to its beneficial affects
on cardiovascular disease, neurological damage, viral infections
and even some cancers.
with vitamin C, cranberries have an acidic property that
was once thought to relieve urinary tract infections by
acidifying the urine and creating an environment inhospitable
to bacteria. Scientists now know that cranberries contain
proanthocyanidins (PACs), which prevent the adhesion of
bacteria to the urinary tract wall. These compounds can
actually change the shape of disease-causing bacterium,
making it impossible for them to bind to human cells and
amass into an infection. Only the PACs in cranberries and
their close relatives, blueberries, have this anti-adhesion
effect. Research shows that the cranberry's anti-adhesion
properties are not limited to the urinary tract; they may
also inhibit the bacteria associated with stomach ulcers,
acid reflux and gastritis, as well as kidney and bladder
infections. PACs can fight a broad range of bacteria, including
Staphylococcus, salmonella and E. coli, reducing the need
for antibiotics.
cranberry component called NDM has been shown to inhibit
and even reverse certain oral bacteria responsible for plaque
and periodontal disease. In fact, cranberries are believed
to be so effective in preventing cavities and gum disease
that a cranberry mouthwash may not be too far away.
bacteria, cranberries may also provide protection from viruses.
A Taiwanese study demonstrated that cranberry consumption
helps to fight against the herpes simplex-2 virus, which
can cause genital sores or ulcers and inflammation of the
brain. In other studies, cranberries mitigated the development
of intestinal viruses.
Health Benefits:
- Prevent urinary tract infections
- Guard against bacterial infections of the
stomach, kidney and bladder
- Fight plaque and gum disease
- May block the development of viruses including
herpes simplex-2
- Are high in antioxidants
- Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
and certain cancers
- May protect against neurological damage and
improve memory
- Are a good source of vitamin C
crimson berry is packed with antioxidants: it contains more
antioxidant phenols on a fresh weight basis than twenty
other common fruits and vegetables such as red grapes, spinach
and strawberries. These flavonoids are a defense against
atherosclerosis and related cardiovascular diseases including
blood clotting and heart attacks. Additionally, they may
stem tumor growth in breast, lung, lymph, stomach and other

mounting evidence that cranberries can help protect the
brain from neurological damage and the effects of aging.
In one study at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State
University, cranberry consumption improved participants'
memories. The findings indicate that cranberries may be
essential to maintaining a healthy mind as well as a healthy
how much of the good stuff should you be consuming? The
National Kidney Foundation recommends drinking a 10-ounce
glass of cranberry juice daily to prevent urinary
tract infections. Yet for round-the-clock anti-adhesion
benefits, some doctors say that two well-spaced servings
a day may be better than one. Whether you choose dried or
fresh cranberries, juice blends, jarred or canned sauces
or cranberries baked into pastries and breads, you can reap
the health rewards. Still, it's wise to consume moderately
and avoid preparations that sweeten the berries with excessive
sugar and artificial flavorings, which can raise blood sugar
levels. You don't want to trade one poison arrow for

Can not drag n drop tasks between projects in mobile app
Asked on Jan 06, 2014 - 18:39 UTC
Should I be able to do that?
In May 2013, you said this: "In the next update of our app, we'll improve the handling of sub-tasks, add an option to collapse/expand sub-tasks and move them between projects. It should be available on the store soon."
All responses

Unfortunately, it's not possible to drag & drop tasks between projects on our mobile apps. We did improve it since my last message, you can now collapse sub-tasks, add tasks or sub-tasks directly below other tasks and also move tasks to other projects by selecting another project while editing it, but drag & drop is unfortunately, not available yet.
Best regards,
