As far as manhandling, he can't do any of that until he grabs the ball. That is where the CB can make the difference - keeping the ball from him. Again, I expect to see a lot more of this from other teams, because KC's WR's are pitiful, and because it WORKED. If some don't pick it up, shame on them. Remember how fast everyone learned that constant blitzing was the way to beat Spurrier? Everyone sees the films, and they have no qualms about borrowing strategies that work.

Gonzo should be able to body up on any CB in the league, and make the catch, he's to big and to athletic for most corner's.
