Rudy Ford has as many interceptions in the first half as Darnell Savage does in the last season and a half.

It was silly Joe Barry said they couldn’t move Savage without having someone else who could play because Rudy Ford played very well when he got chances.
Through a half, it looks almost inexcusable to have not tried this sooner.— Peter Bukowski (@Peter_Bukowski) November 13, 2022
