The Falcon Strike
Hall of Famer
Was huge at the clearances all day. He also impacted a significant amount of marking contests as well.
He's like the reverse McGovern. He doesn't bank on marking at every contest so instead attempts to tap the ball to a crumber's advantage. As such Nic is rarely outmarked and our long kicks down the line actually pay off with him in the vicinity.
I simply don't think it's accurate to say he had a one quarter effort today.
Huge is probably a reach
He was serviceable - but not super influential aside from the 4th.
He's a burst player - given he plays limited minutes - when he is on, to justify that he needs to have influence.
Today he was solid at best IMO.
