With Awuzie(Obviously he didn’t guard every Chief's WR by himself but he was our #1 CB in 2021 so he gets a lot of credit) we held the Chiefs WR core to 1 TD and no WR had 60 yards.
Without Awuzie Marquez Valdez Scantling made us his ***** and he went for 100+ and a TD by himself.
If we make playoffs again and get against the Chiefs again with Awuzie and we win and we go back to locking up the Chiefs WRs, how do we not give him a contract?
At that point his agent would say Awuzie is the reason we can defend the Chiefs and i don’t see how we get around being out of our league price wise.
Do you guys feel Awuzie would have a claim to this if we were able to beat the Chiefs again with him healthy?
As a heads up, MVS had two receptions that game when lined up against an outside CB and both went for less than 8 yards. Every other reception was a large pickup and every one came against Hilton except for one that was a swing pass out of the backfield. Basically, Awuzie not being in the game had nothing to do with MVS's success as he wasn't going to travel into the slot with him. They (Chiefs) were keying on the size speed advantage he had when lined up against Hilton in man coverage.
