I can’t imagine the KC coaching staff fearing Ford any more than we do. They saw him get stonewalled by the Patriots pretty average tackles in the AFC title game, too, and the Patriots really weren’t sending extra help to do it (I mean, unless you count leaving Hogan and Edelman responsible for blocking him in stretch and outside run plays as sending an extra man at him).

SF uses Ford different than you guys did. Ford may only play 25-30 downs, so he'll be fresher and more impactful on the downs he plays. Bosa is the better player, but the 49ers stats show that the pass rush is its most effective when Ford is in the game. They are more pedestrian when Ford is not playing.
BTW, thank you for the good posts. You seem knowledgeable. I've enjoyed the discourse.
