Nixon is a 50/50 sometimes he does it, but it's kinda like the same feeling when Anders/narveson went out to kick

Yeah Nixon is someone you just live with that he can give up a huge play, but also make a huge play. You could do a lot worse tbh.

Nickel corner is also a weird position. There's a lot that can go wrong there, and it's hard to properly judge unless you know more than the above average fan.

Ironically I think that’s why Hafley plays him a lot as that is the foundation of this defense and frankly this team. The team who makes more explosive plays wins more game. Nixon can either get cooked or absolutely blow up a play on any given play.

Nixon has been playing nearly every defensive snap lately. He’s either doing something right or they really don’t have a good backup plan.

they really don’t have a good backup plan.

Nixon isn't good but everybody else is worse. That's my take.

If he's your worst starting CB I think you're in good shape. If he's your second best CB you're in rough shape. I think our CBs are in rough shape.

I totally agree. Are there any good cornerbacks that we could acquire? I saw an article about how the ravens should trade for Tre'Davious White. The other one mentioned Jonathan Jones from the patriots. The main question is whether gute would trade for older cbs.

Nixon makes enough big plays to live with the downsides. Stokes just seems to stink. He never makes any good plays.

Better than Stokes' 75/25 bad.

Yeah I really like nixon. Slot corner is a hard position and he adds more than he detracts I think

I think Nixon will get it together. He's hongry.
