Bump him on the line every single play, where ever he lines up, to throw off timing and routes. Tre White on him underneath with RR over the top of him. Best chance of slowing him down IMO. We dont have a S on this team that can stay with him over the top, and if Mills is on him 1v1 he will have a career night.

Tre White is our most physical CB, and RR is our tallest and most likely best cover CB. Let Tre White bump him and stay underneath him, and let RR stay over the top of him. Which gives RR the chance to knock down those jump balls that Evans gets every game and works most of the time.

Also let Kwon or Eugene spy Manziel to try and slow him down. Eugene did a good job of that last year. And Kwon is our most athletic LB.

Your gameplan actually sounds like it could work

Here's an additional thought...Whoever we have on him sings Johnny Cash songs out loud to him when lining up...that will through off his timing...then our defensive linemen speak all defensive adjustments in French...more confusion for them (unless they're bilingual)...finally Jim Hawthorne and Doug Moreau harmonize Hold That Tiger together over the pa system...and we win. Not too bad, huh?

This is about all you can do. If the corner misses or gets over powered though he's going to be open.
