Gotta get this guy back.
The Way a Packers Forum Should Be
https://packers-huddle.com/phpBB/
I say why not...?Keisean Nixon, the Packers’ electric kick returner and slot cornerback, has been campaigning to add another role to his arsenal: slot receiver.
“He’s been talking to me every day about that,” LaFleur said. “He saw that screen that New England ran a couple weeks ago where they threw it to their punt returner (cornerback Marcus Jones) and he took it to the house, so ever since then, it’s been, ‘I can go in there.'”

We had someone in here float the idea of a Nixon wildcat package.APB wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022 07:43From The Athletic:

I don’t know if others floated that idea, but I did. I look at this; Nixon adds spark every time he touches the ball. He’s quick to the hole. He gets North/South quickly. And he has enough speed once he gets into the open… He has also showed that he rarely lets loose of the ball.Labrev wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022 09:02We had someone in here float the idea of a Nixon wildcat package.APB wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022 07:43From The Athletic:

Kinda wish MLF was coming up with these ideas independently, rather than recreating the Late Stage McCarthy playbook. =/
You want tricky Nixon in open space, not banging inside. So yes on the Jet Sweeps and no thx on the wildcat
It's a no brainer the Packers / Lions will be Sunday Night Football if it's a "Win and you're in" game. If Washington loses their next two games and Seattle loses once the next two weeks and Packers and Lions both win it's absolutely Packers vs Lions.RingoCStarrQB wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022 18:39Dennis Krause mentioned last night on the PACKERS LIVE show that he's thinking it'll be the Packers vs. Lions on Sunday Night Football on Sunday, January 8, 2023. With playoff implications of course.
He's a great open field runner, imo thats because he has patience to allow his blocks to form, thats not the case as a RB, or slot receiver, but I'd still give him a shot at itScott4Pack wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022 13:23I don’t know if others floated that idea, but I did.

I figure we should see if he can possibly be a difference maker on offense too. Can’t hurt to try. If not Wildcat, then a jet sweep here or there, or a special option play once a game or something. He deserves a chance.
I'm wondering if Nixon can end up being the 2nd coming of the great Packers Hall of Famer KR/RB Travis Williams #23.Yoop wrote: ↑22 Dec 2022 15:30He's a great open field runner, imo thats because he has patience to allow his blocks to form, thats not the case as a RB, or slot receiver, but I'd still give him a shot at itScott4Pack wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022 13:23I don’t know if others floated that idea, but I did.

Oh gosh. We used to revere TW! He had a stretch of a couple of years that were unheralded. We used to say that nobody would ever beat his KO Return average too. Now, ask anybody under age 50 (even Packer fans) if they’ve heard of him. Lol. (Many Lombardi Packers being forgotten that way.)RingoCStarrQB wrote: ↑22 Dec 2022 15:52I'm wondering if Nixon can end up being the 2nd coming of the great Packers Hall of Famer KR/RB Travis Williams #23.Yoop wrote: ↑22 Dec 2022 15:30He's a great open field runner, imo thats because he has patience to allow his blocks to form, thats not the case as a RB, or slot receiver, but I'd still give him a shot at itScott4Pack wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022 13:23
