Should Marlon Hairston be the Rapids’ right fullback?
Chris Humphreys-USA TODAY SportsAs soon as Mekeil Williams was booted out of the match vs. the Vancouver Whitecaps, I began wondering who was going to replace him the following week. Would Dillon Serna come in at left back? Would Mike da Fonte get a start? I heard that Kortne Ford had some experience as a fullback - would we see Kort over there? And then there was a little thought in the back of my mind that maybe, just maybe, Eric Miller will shift to the left side and see Marlon Hairston back there. But Marly hadn’t played fullback since the first game of the 2016 season (which was also against the San Jose Earthquakes).
