Whichsoever knight you mean, I think black's bishop is better to go to d7.

After you check on 2. Nb6, black king will escape on the move 2. ... Kb7

Kf2 Be6(Bb7 Rg8)....Nd8+ Bd5.....Bbd5

True_Beginner

Even after 1. Kf2, 1. ... Bd7 is still the escaping move.

Kf2 Bd7....Rg8 (Bc8 or Be8) Rg8 takes bishop

Bishop moves anywhere  other than e6 ...Rg8 check

True_Beginner

Check on Rg8 will do nothing, because black king will escape to Kb7, since Bd7 will be his stonewall.

Kf2 still loses to ... Bd7, ... Kb7

Rb7 Bb7(any other move Rb8 mate)...Rg8+ Bc8...Rxc8++

After Bxb7, there is no rook to move to Rg8
