D521646 Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 Not a crazy idea but, I was thinking today how to minimize Hill with only using one guy, and I was thinking the fastest guy we have is McKenzie, and he has great hands. If McKenzie could be taught to play corner in one week, seems Mahomes always throws to Hill when he is wide open, but when covered, or closely shadowed, he tends to look at other reads, and comes off Hill quickly, which if you watch the tape, trends into a hasty throw or scramble by the Chiefs signal caller. I know some will laugh at this as McK is showing great promise on offense, but for one game, is the idea that terrible? Thoughts? tim- 1 2 3 4 9 1 2 Quote
Warcodered Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 I mean he was the emergency DB like two years ago in the last game I think. I don't think it's a good idea though. 5 Quote
YoloinOhio Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 He actually can and has. But I don’t think they would use him unless they had no choice due to injury (like they did in 2019). 3 Quote

strive_for_five_guy Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) You don’t think Taron Johnson is just as quick as McKenzie, not to mention him and all of our other DBs already have many years of training as professional defensive backs?

Jauronimo Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 Maybe Allen can play DB? The height advantage could result in a few picks. 1 7 Quote

Real McClappy Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) WR to CB transition is possible and can help.
