Im all for Ford getting a quiet 10 sacks on the season and then in the playoffs is when you unleash the beast.

As long as he doesn't line up offsides on a critical play against the Pats.

He loves being right on the line, though of course he F'd up that one time. Chiefs fans still blame him lol.

I love when one play like that is the 100% reason but not the rest of the game that led up to it lol.

Ahmad Brooks was always off sides at the wrong dam time.

I was thinking, without a full slate of draft picks how can we get even better next season?

I just realized Dee Ford isn't really healthy right now. Can you imagine good this D line/Defense/Team would be with a healthy Dee Ford?!!!

He may not be healthy(Knee ...tendinitis IIRC), but you watch on the sacks by Nick Buck, Arik...Dee will always be RIGHT THERE. When he is in, rarely is a sack made that Dee isn't part of it or he drove his man into the ball carrier.

And as far as his not practicing, fine. When he's healthy, let him play. If he needs to rest a knee, fine...we got Solly, Blair, Julian, Day, DJ...all ready to go. So give him all the rest his knee requires, but when needed he has shown up and is always right next to the tackle or sack. He's so fast around the OT's shoulder, half the time they never get a pad on him.

A typical pic the day after game is the opponent QB being attacked from front , right and left, all our DL about to have a meeting at the QBs position.

Trade back a few times, get more picks.

We don't need a full slate of picks anyway, we have 4 key FAs, Blair, Armstead, Ward, and Sanders, if we can keep them all, plus add whoever we do in the draft, we're as good or better than 2019, if we can't keep them all, we find suitable replacements that can be plug and play guys like Sanders was/is, and still be as good as we are now.

Agreed that with a fullly healthy Dee we're unreal DL wise.

It's because it was a critical part in the game and you make a bonehead mistake like that, people never forget.

I wouldnt mind trade backs with us getting 2021 picks instead etc.

He needs offseason surgery - a healthy Ford will be even better next year.

Is his condition something that surgery will help/fix?

Tendonosis (not tendonitis) may require surgery. But generally it is treated with a lengthy rehab and PRP. Surgery would not be the common route, but it happens.

Would a full offseason be a "lengthy rehab" in your opinion?

Would they do something like a scope to "clean it up" for this type of scenario?
