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

WhoDat!656 · 12-17-2020, 10:14 PM

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.

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.

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...

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.

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