Yeah, that's one of the problems with Ford. If he's a centerpiece player for your defense, it makes it predictable and exploitable.
And it's not just TEs who can destroy him in run blocks. He's very susceptible to WAM blocks by WR because 1) he's bitchmade; 2) he seems to have pretty poor awareness/tunnel vision
The Chiefs generally are going to throw a LOT on 1st and 2nd down. If Ford is on the field, they'll check into a decent number of run plays and send the play right at him.
I'm sure he'll be motivated and such. But he's not a concern until he shows me he should be.
