Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix presents another challenge to the Atlanta Falcons defense.
will more than likely sniff this out early, in an attempt to stop it. However, the silent but loud part of rookie quarterback Bo Nix's approach during his season is the ability to run the ball.Now, no one confuses him with Lamar Jackson, but he gains positive yardage and puts the offense in manageable down and distance where the offense can convert in short yardage. Atlanta must cut that off, in order to force Nix to throw further than his rookie comfort zone.
“Obviously it becomes more of the college system, so to speak. You know, that's not what Sean did, but he's a great coach, and like most guys do, they do what that quarterback can do or what they have done, what they have success with," said Morris this week. "So, him having a little bit of success with that in college, he carried it over. For us, that just makes you play a little more matchy, make you play a little sticky. So, you're ready to stop that with the run. The run now is not just the handing off from the quarterback, but it's also some of the throws that you provide. It's also some of the things you provide with their run alerts or their pass alerts and things of that nature.
Chances remain strong that he will bounce outside the pocket, if he believes Atlanta will sell out on the running back. Atlanta's defense is more athletic than Denver's entire offense. Any number of defenders can and should put a helmet on Nix.
