49ers D from week 10-17 have up 24th most ppg...getting Ford and Alexander will help, but they aren't the 85 Bears...
"With Ford on the field this season, the Niners have pressured opposing quarterbacks on 36.3 percent of dropbacks. But without him, that figure drops to 22.7 percent. San Francisco's sack rate falls off a cliff, from 16.3 to 5.4, when Ford isn't on the field. Meanwhile, opposing quarterback figures significantly increase when No. 55's sidelined -- the TD-to-INT ratio goes from 3:4 to 20:8, while the passer rating jumps from 73.8 to 86.4."
Hopefully he is a bit rusty or doesn't get a full snap count this Saturday...
