Here's an idea: Can McKenzie play corner?

[MJS]

Seriously?

 

As if speed is the only thing you need to play corner in the NFL...

[RobbRiddick]

Just ask Spencer to sit on him

The ask from OP though isn't for George Wilson to play SS. It is for Isaiah McKenzie to cover in man to man against Tyreek Hill. The time it would take for Isaiah to become a starting man to man corner is significant, and would require him to bail entirely on being a WR. Let alone be that guy in a week. 

 

George Wilson was also 6' 214lbs.

 

I believe for last years Ravens game it was reported that IM was playing Lamar Jackson on the scout team to help get them up to speed. The Bills using IM like Hill on game day and in practice is most certainly his best use. 

 

Kudos for taking this suggestion and analyzing it seriously.

One double move on McKenzie and Hill would be gone.  Guaranteed!

 

I like the outside the box thinking, but in this case....  stay in the box, it's safer!

OP kept asking people for real responses, I figured somebody had to do it.

I have an idea to, check this out

 

Can Allen play Linebacker?

Its not crazy?

Here me out, we have a real lack of depth at TE, if Knox gets turf toe tomorrow and can't go tomorrow. If Allen can learn TE in 4 days, do you think it is possible he sets the single game receiving record against KC? 

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

McKenzie has to fill in for a washed up Beasley 

[FilthyBeast]

There's zero chance of this happening even if Wallace or Jackson get hurt.

 

Yes it would be great if this team had some proven veteran depth on the roster but they chose to do nothing when White went down for a reason.

 

 

[Gugny]

The only thing missing from this gem is, "Hear me out ..." at the beginning.

[Coach Tuesday]

Here me out

"I am ready, put me in coach" - George Wilson right now, probably

 

George Wilson went from WR very low in depth chart to a very good hitting safety who understood routes real well.

1. What is your favorite Bills moment or memory?

For me, I just moved from wide receiver to safety [and] we played the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football here in Orchard Park. I got a pick six off of Tony Romo on the first series. It just kind of electrified the crowd and it was a big moment of that ball game and it essentially kicked off the second phase of my playing career because I switched positions that offseason.

 

But can McKenzie do it? Of course he can.  I created this when he became an iron man playing offense and defense.

Beasley is not washed up.  He is recovering from COVID and like a few other players he is realizing it takes time to recover.

Option play with Mitchell Trubisky in as QB?  Go for it if it is what is needed to win.

 

Has Allen caught a pass this year yet?

Yeah, I think he could. I can see him catching a couple 60 yard TDs up the seam wide open

Ok so hear me out further. This game is basically first team to 100. Defense doesn’t matter. With Josh switching to TE, Poyer was a HS QB. Do we think we will win by 50

or 60 if we put Poyer behind center?

I think the Bills are 0-2 or 0-3 when Allen catches the ball. Hard pass.

Maybe Allen can play DB? The height advantage could result in a few picks.

Seriously, he probably could play LB.  Not that I am proposing that, I just think he has the toughness, strength, and speed to do it.  Jim Kelly thought he could play LB but he wasn't fast enough.  Josh Allen is.

 

Again, I am not suggesting this, just paying tribute to Allen's physical abilities.

[Mikie2times]

If McKenzie is capable of being our number one option against hill in 7 days time, all our DB's need to go.

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?

I wonder if this guy gets harassed by a certain moderator through PM for starting this topic

I will merely point out that the history we leave behind on this board will always be there to enlighten.  Some interesting reading in all of our pasts.

I would bet a months salary T. Hill would embarrass McKenzie...it would be gross
