Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

The league's fourth-best receiver in yards gained this season makes for a nightmare for opposing offenses, but Marshon Lattimore isn't losing any sleep over Tyreek Hill.

Ever the confident corner, Lattimore was firm in his response Thursday when asked about defending the speedster in Sunday's marquee matchup.

"What you think, man? You think I can match up with him?" Lattimore asked facetiously, via ESPN's Mike Triplett. "I think I can. He's fast, yeah. But it's football at the end of the day. I feel like I'm a great corner and he's a great receiver. It's a matchup."

I'd rather read this than "We're screwed!"

Better be jamming on the line and work against Deonte Harris all week.

Keep help over the top.

Re: Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

Easier said than done. That's been the problem a few times this season.

^^ This ^^.

These are the type of games and level of competition I grade Marcus Williams on. Cover the top. Gotta stay disciplined with Mecole Hardeman as well.

He's fast and elusive too.

Good Luck with that...


Margin for error with the Cheetah is nil...

If I were the DC, I'd start out with harassing Kelce with DeMario and/or Kwon and let Marshon then take him one-on-one and using Janoris and Marcus on the Cheetah; put Gardner on Sammy Watkins...

And I'd tell our pass rush to squeeze Mahomes from the edges; if we don't get Malcolm Brown back, Shy Tuttle had better be lights-out two-gapping in the middle...

AG is right, our safeties, Marcus, Malcolm J have failed miserably in coordinating coverage on the back end this season - this game will expose all of the secondary communication issues...

yeah but too much attention on hill and kelce dominates

pick yah poison

Carolina gave the Chiefs all they could handle.

Misdirection plays, screens, good run game and Teddy playing out of his mind almost (missed fg at the end) beat the champs.

I'd like to see the Saints do similar things offensively.

Is KC an elite team? Absolutely but definitely capable of taking an L on Sunday from a talented and dangerous Saints team.

Re: Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

Somebody gonna eat. That’s been my point all year. The offense needs to score. When you play teams like the Chiefs they eating.

Re: Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

Tyreek Hill takes almost half of his snaps from the slot doesn’t he?

Re: Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

Correct.

Re: Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

Yep Williams needs to just stand in the end zone . Hill runs pass people like I run to the can after a six pac of mango seltzer’s

If DA insists on putting PJ Williams on Tyreek, he'll have 300 yards in the first half.

10+ yards from line of scrimmage and PJ is a liability.

I appreciate Lattimores confidence, but I don't think we have anyone that can match with his speed from the slot. Lattimore got torched by Calvin Ridley repeatedly.

Re: Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

So it’s probably going to be Gardner-Johnson on Hill for a good amount of snaps. We just have to hope CJ can get in his head and take him out of his game.

Re: Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

Agreed a million percent. Problem with that thinking is when the play breaks down, that’s when Mahomes really shines.

He’s just flat out a playmaker, I’ve rarely seen a player make more out of nothing than he is able to do. I hope he just has an “off” day, lol. It happens..., to the best of us. I would put CJGJ in his face as much as humanly possible, try to “break” him mentally, emotionally, have it affect his decisions. And yes, I would push it hard, to the point of getting ejected.

Re: Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

I agree, he is the Steph Curry of football. No matter what he throws up it’s completed and usually for a decent gain too. Don’t like him but I respect his game

Re: Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

See post #10.

Re: Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

Cee Dee should definitely cover him in the slot. Hit him hard early and often.

Re: Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

Yeah that’s what I see happening. CJGJ will get in his face and trash talk him nonstop.

I have a feeling Lattimore will get torched by Hardman or Watkins.

Re: Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

Hill is gonna DESTROY CJ if that’s what they decide to do.

Re: Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

I think the Saints will keep Hill contained but Kelce is the guy that worries me the most. He approaches and plays the game like a big WR.

Travis Kelce is a nightmare TE to defend.

Re: Marshon Lattimore on covering Tyreek Hill: 'I think I can' match up with him
 

My opinion? There is no stopping him. Players like that stop themselves.
