That is considered a lite box and one the O coordinator would run against. The Cowboys contained him without violating standard football fundamentals I am sure we can too. 

This is all moot because they won't do it. Will we see Dennard on him if he is in the slot? Sure. Will he shadow him? No. It just creates way too many issues behind them if they tried something like that.

Maybe it does create too many issues, but they have had 10 days to prepare.  I hope they have keyed on him because he is, by far, the biggest threat.  Not to go deep and hit a bomb, but to slowly (but surely) cut us and watch us bleed.

To answer your initial question, if CMC is not lined up in the slot, then I would perhaps offer Shawn Williams on the slot WR, and go single-high safety with Jessie Bates.
