A modest proposal

I see Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez catching a lot of balls today.

We don't cover tight ends well. We tend to rely on linebackers and safeties to guard them, and that doesn't fly against good tight ends, much less great ones like T-Go.

So, our coaches have a choice:

1. Continue with business as usual, and watch Lofa, Heater, Curry, and Babs fail repeatedly.

2. Put a corner on Gonzalez today. A corner who can tackle. If we still had Josh Wilson, we could have put Trufant on Gonzalez, and still had starting-caliber corners on Atlanta's wideouts. But we'll need Trufant to cover Roddy White.
