Drive Klis VIDMike Klis EXCLUSIVE: How can the Cardinals matchup become a get-right game for Bo Nix & the Broncos?

Bo Nix says he’s healthy, so why hasn’t his rushing ability been a bigger part of the Broncos’ offense? On The Drive with Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay, the conversation turns to what’s keeping Nix from taking off—and whether getting him moving could help Denver find a spark against the Arizona Cardinals.

Mike shares Sean Payton’s explanation of when Nix typically runs: against man coverage, when defensive backs have their backs turned. He then explores whether opponents’ use of soft zone coverage is helping limit both Nix’s running opportunities and his downfield passing options.

But adjusting to those defenses requires more than scrambling. The guys discuss the intermediate throws Nix needs to recognize and attempt, along with the balance between operating within the offense and using his instincts to create plays.

Is Denver asking a “draw it up in the dirt” quarterback to play too much paint-by-numbers football? The discussion centers on how Payton can get Nix moving without losing the structure the offense needs.

Broncos Country, how should Sean Payton use Bo Nix’s mobility against Arizona—and what would you change to help him play more confidently? Share your game plan in the comments, like the video and subscribe for more Broncos coverage from The Drive with Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay.
