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. 

The hoodie has ran up a pretty good record taking away the opposing teams biggest threats and I'm sure he doesn't do it by playing it safe all the time. We have to key in on Newton and McCaffery period.

I don't buy for a second that we have to play base defense and quiver in our boots. Play aggressive ! This soft defense is going to bite us before it's over. It keeps our defense on the field to much and it limits the time for our O to score. They have to play a perfect game when they're only on the field a few minutes a qtr.
