More basic question that only BB can answer - Will chandler jones even play on Saturday?

Alex Smith can run a little bit but he does not have speed to turn that run into a big chunk of yardage. I disagree that this will be a keep the QB in the pocket game.

Probably not the whole game, that's for sure. Belichick is likely to use his mistake as a lesson for the team that you don't go out and get high the week of the biggest game of the year.
He's also gone 5/6 games without a sack, so if that leads you to believe that he's going to "dominate" on Sunday, you may be a bit of an optimist.
I wouldn't at all label this optimistic, and that is solely due to the opponent.
Chandler Jones has gone up against some pretty good tackles down the stretch post-Denver Broncos game, and had been battling an injury that may or may not have hampered his play during that time-frame, which furthermore forced him to sit out the season finale.
The Chiefs offensive line is not particularly stellar in pass protection, and with Maclin hobbled (yes, he has an injured ankle, and it will affect him to a certain degree) the lack of reliable downfield targets minus Kelce (whom is a TE, a position the Patriots defense has defended particularly well, hitherto) could be an overlooked issue which may manifest during the game.
IMO, this game sets up for Chandler Jones and the rest of the front seven to pad the stat sheet... as long as the run defense shows up and consistently forces the KC offense into long down and distance situations.
No...he won't. Jabaal Sheard on the other hand......
Sheard has been a huge key to this defense, and has played very well. Great signing.
