We need somebody that can carry the ball at the goal line if needed. Tired of relying on a wildcat... I think some more creative play-calling would help, i.e. throwing the ball in the RZ. Wildcat ain't going to get it done against quality defenses. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilco 5 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I saw Nix play Fairfield last year in state playoffs. He went about 60yds on a QB draw & out ran their entire defense in the process. Kid basically never left the field. He played QB(obviously), safety, punted & returned punts. When their D struggled against one specific WR, they moved him to corner and he locked that guy down. He is definitely an athlete. Fairfield wasn't the best coached team, but they had the better athletes and Bo was definitely a cut above. I never expected him to be faster than them in the open field. Is he Cam or Nick? I wouldn't go that far, but he can move. Plus he has the arm and the intellect to be very special. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kid is way too small to attempt using as a battering ram at the goal line, no matter how athletic he is. That only works with guys like Cam and Tebow, which Bo Nix clearly is not and never will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all serious I hope he has a quick recovery. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but it's okay because we have Sean White as a backup and Malik Willis will be fine and then we'll get Gatewood AND Fields and then Nix boy the future sure is bright at AU at QB like it is every year man I hope Gatewood doesn't mind playing tight end war damn eagle y'all 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long will 4-star quarterback Bo Nix be sidelined with a foot injury? It’s not clear. Pinson Valley coach Patrick Nix – Bo’s father and former Auburn quarterback – said there’s no timetable for the quarterback’s return. The elder Nix described Bo’s injury in vague terms – as a “foot, ankle injury” and a “lower leg injury.” “It’s a matter of rehabbing it and getting better,” Patrick Nix said. “When the doctors clear him, he’ll be back.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey has work to do passing wise but I think his running ability will help offset the weaknesses. Joey runs very smooth as well- almost like you know who.

milehighfan 1,240 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I would think Joey not only needs to work on his passing but more importantly, being able to read defenses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he is or is not going to FSU, but... 1) AU is a lot closer and a lot easier drive after playing (or at least being at the game) on Friday night. 2) I know for a fact recruits have come to every home game in the past and then end up somewhere else simply because it is close and they don't want to have to sit at home. Again, not saying where he is going, just pointing out flaw in your logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
