Chase Daniel knows what it’s like to play in a Sean Payton offense.
Daniel spent 13 years in the NFL, including five seasons as a backup quarterback with the New Orleans Saints (2009-2012, 2017). So he’s certainly qualified to break down the performance of a Payton QB.
Daniel recently released a 16-and-a-half-minute video breaking down Denver Broncos rookie Bo Nix’s first (preseason) start in the NFL against the Green Bay Packers.
On the first play, Daniel notes how quickly Nix goes through his reads, something Payton loves. On the next play, Nix sends a running back in motion to identify if the defense is in man coverage. They weren’t, so Nix checked to a different play. Nix then makes a fast read and gets the ball out quickly for a completion.
“Playing fast, that’s what Sean Payton wants,” Daniel notes.
You can watch the full film review below:
Nix went 8-of-9 passing for 80 yards with one touchdown and no turnovers against the Packers. He also rushed three times for 12 yards. Payton has not yet announced a starting QB at the time of publication, but Nix seems to be on track to be named the starter ahead of Week 1.
