I was tempted to do a film room on the new Colts FB Roosevelt Nix, and as I sifted through the coaches film from last season, I decided not to.
Had I posted it on Youtube, it would have been more of a torching than a highlight film.
All I can figure is maybe, just maybe the Colts think RB coach Tom Rathman can bring back that 2017 pro bowl form. But yeah, as of last season, he was awful.
In the 3 attacked vids, 1 is special teams kick coverage where he plainly blocks in the back, blasting the other player's blind-sidedly to the ground.
The 2nd he completely misses a block where he had 2 to choose from, and instead of going left or right, he goes up the middle as though he was running the football, instead of blocking for it.
And the 3rd he is stonewalled at the line of scrimmage so badly by the linebacker, he is stopped right in the running lane and actually tackles the player he supposed to be blocking for.
Sorry, I can't seem to get my gif's to upload as gif's..seems to turn them into jpeg's..I can put links to my tweets about the plays however:
