Bo Nix - Episode #2 | Kurt Warner Breaks Down the Game Tape | College Series '24

Here we go with Bo Nix, Part Two of our College Football StudyBall Series in Oregon's game against USC. I know it's hard to tell on the tape sometimes about the technique. That was the one thing that kind of jumped out at me in the first tape - and again, I don't want to say it's negative, but something that you see that you want to see cleaned up is his ability to create more power on his throws with his body, his ability to stand in the pocket, and be a little bit more patient in the pocket when things are happening around him. But we did see in the first day, the real positives were decision-making, his feel for the game, understanding what he was seeing, and getting the ball out of his hands. Okay, a lot of shorter, quicker throws. Not that they were bad decisions, not that they were places that he shouldn't have gone with the football because most of them were good decisions, but their office has built a lot more around the shorter throws. So let's see as we dive into this state, it's going to be against USC. We see some more throws down the field if we see some improvement in those other are. Because we never want to just take one game and say, "Okay, that's who that player is," and it's wide with all of these quarterbacks and breaking out two different games because I'm trying to figure out and put it all together to give you guys at least an idea of who these players are, maybe what can translate at the next level because you're seeing it game after game after game. #nfldraft #bonix #nfldraft2024

The idea is that at the NFL level - elite coaches should find these flaws and coach them correct.

[@basethreat333]

Kurt - how much of what you see from Bo technique wise will get cleaned up with NFL coaching? This is a great series! Thanks for this.

[@maxfacts1]

Bo is throwing away from the defender which keeps the interceptions down but makes the receiver reach, good thought process that needs cleaning up. When Bo is in his flow he can throw on the go, I like the Bo show.

[@T.D.61]

Huge benefit having learned before the pro’s!

[@notsosilentmajority1]

Sounds like Bo is close. If Sean Payton's scheme is designed around short passes based on good decision making, we should have a great match for Bo Nix and Sean Payton. Go Bo!!!!!!

[@EllinoItalos]

Kurt you seriously need to coach college QB's.

[@coganblaster]

I would rather have a QB who sees the field well with bad footwork, like Nix, than one with good feet & bad vision. The feet can be coached.

[@barryr790]

The troubling thing is with mechanics not all there and being 24. One would think that should be cleaned up by now.

[@marcob1729]

College ball is more about putting together a team that works. It doesn’t seem like something that can’t be fixed with a good QB coach and some time with the backup squad

[@joshmoreton6642]

Very teachable stuff plus in the nfl it’s good to have quick tendencies

[@bsj6951]

USC has a terrible defense LOL

[@esostoic]

I was thinking the same thing

[@JeremySeanA]

Go watch Oregon State or Utah. Played well against them as well.

[@TwentyTimes]

Oregon literally only lost to Washington this year. And they were in the national championship. Yall are really hating

Over analyzing a player could be a problem.

[@MrAdamNTProtester]

Yup his footwork is terrible... contrast Montana with Nix & you will see the difference between a SB Champ & a chump

[@antball775]

He looks like 5th round or later pick to me

[@Filterfinder]

lol he’s old no thanks. This draft class is scary because of the effects of all the extra playing time player age and muscle development. 21 compared to 24-25 is a big difference in muscle development and growth. There are a lot of nfl players who are 24 that would have a field day playing in college football.

[@TwentyTimes]

Y’all are some haters. Everyones journey is different

[@ifheavenwashuman]

He played 3 seasons on an average at best Auburn squad w/ absolutely no offensive line to speak of, and your gripe is age. 😂

[@Filterfinder]

@@ifheavenwashuman my gripe is unfair advantages that age and development cause. Any trained 24 year old is going to have an advantage when playing against 17-21 year olds on average. I think he is closer to his potential than say a 21 year old McCarthy. Where would nix have been projected when he was 21? Probably wouldn’t even have been drafted.

[@ifheavenwashuman]

@@Filterfinder Had Nix gone to a program w/ the stability that Michigan provided McCarthy, who knows?

[@SteadyMo66in]

Muscle development?? You just over here making shit up huh ? SMH
