xen 1,010,220 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Ford led all players not named Aaron Donald in pressures under 2.5 seconds. That's awesome for a wide edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I do like about Ford is he called the franchise tag a no brainer. To me, it tells me he's got confidence in himself but isn't a ultra selfish guy by holding out. What scares me is that he will be playing for a new DC and could easily surpass this year and become our new Justin Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 The more I think about it the more I believe neither player will be in KC for 2020. Houston is the better player at pretty much the same cost but 2 years older. On the other hand Ford is just a 28-year old pass rusher who has a specific purpose similar to Spag's previous SB win. I think the idea is to unload both players in favor of more traditional DEs but the timing is entirely an age/value issue. Houston won't bring as much next year as a 31-year old guy and Ford will likely bring in a 3rd or at least a 4th for 2021 after being let go next year. So I think this is all a process of replacing both edge guys while hoping for a SB push in 2019, which is the only reason they keep Ford. That being said they would be stupid to ignore a solid offer for Ford either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he and Chris Jones have both been known to blow that. I think Spags and Daly can help there though. You do raise a good point there. Will be interesting to see what Daly can do with Dee Ford.
