Cappa looks like he has gave up, at least Ford hasn't been a total liability at LT which is honestly easy to do going against the best pass 
rushers and I cannot believe I am even saying this. Cappa needs to step up and be what he used to be. I am done with Volson, we need
change if it continues to be this bad in front of Burrow and in run blocking.

I'm not in the camp of "change it up for the sake of changing it up."
If there is a guy who is an unknown quantity, I can see trying him out, but we know what Cody Ford is and isn't.

Heck, I'd rather give Matt Lee an opportunity somewhere on the IOL than see Cody Ford and his sub-55.0 PFF grade every year in his career go out there as a full-time starter the rest of the year. At least Matt Lee has looked good in the limited times we have seen him. Plus, he needs some opportunities if he's going to be a future starter.

But also, we need to stop praying for a miracle with this season, especially if it involves injecting Cody Ford as a starter the rest of the way.
Trying to have Cody Ford come in and save the season isn't something that's a reality.
He's had 6 seasons to show the NFL who he is, and he's been consistent at showing it. He's not starter material, period.
And after 6 seasons, he's not gonna magically improve.

If anyone is going to come in and turn around a season, it's going to be one of the young bucks who hasn't had a chance to really show themselves yet.
