In other words, Rivera is doing what you want.

I do get the frustration feeling about Rivera's obsession with flexibility, I feel that way sometimes. Although with the DBs, it's important to be flexible with positions because some offense coordinators are always looking to exploit our defense weaknesses. We can mitigate this challenge by confusing QB on who is covering his #1 target, or this would make things easier for our defense when the #1 WR is motioned to a different position before the snap by transferring the coverage responsibility to other DB without running over to a different side.

No, I don't want him to. I want him to become a dominant boundary corner. You have one of those and you can make the offense work a lot harder to put up points.

I was seriously asking if we have ever done that before. Or at least recently. I don't remember it. Not sure if it's a feature or just never having a dominant CB1 to try it. But I don't recall us doing that.
