He is probably frustrated. I would be if I was in his shoes. He dominated in college. Killed it all-presason long, and is left inactive.
If they told me to go on the radio, I would handle it the exact same way. Not out of disinterest, but to keep myself in check from saying something I shouldn't say due to frustration. (The coaches are dumb because they aren't playing me.)
I am sure that is what is constantly going through his head right now. He will use it as fuel.
Except for the bit where he played on Monday. He was most definitely active.
I can't fathom a UDFA, especially the underdog type Ford seems to be, suddenly being sullen enough to blow a media session over an "inactive" in his first career game. Doing so would reek of entitlement, and that isn't his character. More likely he's just awkward and shy in the spotlight.
(FWIW, Ihaven't listened yo the interview)
He didn't blow it. He just wasn't interested, he had more important things on his mind. Like getting on the field and getting snaps with the defense.
He was B!G12 Defensive Player of the Year and didn't get drafted, and got overlooked because of his height.
Care to tell me how many snaps he has played on defense?

He isn't just happy to be on the team. He wants to play, and that is where his focus lies. Not put on a show for talking heads on the radio.
