This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Nelson was even better by jt

holy shit, that guy's tape was unbelievable. I recall a play against Georgia when he was in a slide pro to his left (so, B gap left side of the line) and Georgia brought a Pirate blitz from the right off the slot (DE and DT crash in, OLB rushes C gap, slot corner blitzes in B gap). If Nelson hadn't done anything, nobody would have blamed him; Georgia had the right defense called and our qb slid the protection the wrong way (GA probably had a scout that said that we like to slide away from our rb).

Instead, Nelson has his head on a swivel, sees the nickel blitz from the slot through B gap, and comes off and just crushes the dude and Wimbush gets the pass off. Holy shit, that is just impressive stuff. That is NFL all-pro type of stuff and he's completely changed the mentality there on the line in Indy.

Now, McGlinchey is a stud as well, don't get me wrong. He had a downfield block this year against the Raiders that only a freak of nature could do--basically led the rb 50 yards downfield. He had a great year, was a great pick, and hopefully will anchor that line for years to come. But Nelson is just a freak of nature once in a generation type of kid--like the Rocket Ismail of guards.
