[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 920972, member: 10086"] I know this won’t be popular with some fellow fans, but I believe King still has a shot of being successful in the Slot. He did have a coverage screw up there early in the game, but this is an entirely new role for him also. He also had a TD saving play and played disruptive football the closer he got to the LOS. Just an observation. King seems to perform better attacking the LOS in either press coverage where he can divert a WR’s route.. or playing downhill against the run. He’s more adequately applied to TE or RB or Slot receiver (where he can physically press inside 5 yards) coming from the Slot. Conversely, his weakness is playing off coverage, Perimeter CB (Island aboriginal) Opponents obviously know it too. These long throws to his side are purposeful and planned. It appears MLF/Barry are seeing this because Stokes played a significant amount on the outside and King moved inside. They seemed to improve in those new roles (albeit and admittedly miscommunication on the crossing route TD). King is kinda ideal for the Slot because he won’t be paired with the teams fastest receiver as much. It’s as much a problem of mistaken identity (playing a player out of his niche) as it is a question of talent. [/QUOTE]
