Nelson
 

I need a new roll of tissues...

I’ve watched it about 50 times!!!! Hahaha.

I know, it's so fucking beautiful! That footage alone is worth # 6 IMO!

You can hear it, see it feel it, this is new Colts football.

Beautiful!

Ok. It gets better

The noise from the pads are the best. They’re going to love that in the film room tomorrow.

Nightmare fuel for upcoming opponents.

.@colts #colts @BigQ56 #BigQ I really really missed you last week. I couldn’t wait til Monday to watch the BigQ Roadshow. No one plays the game like this. The great JOHN HANNAH, would envy your style. By the way, #Luck did not get touched on Sunday (legally) #BaldysBreakdowns – at NFL Films

:cool:

He does set a tone, doesn't he

Lol.....Baldy "they didn't even line anyone up against him, but he's going to find someone to hit"

That last one is my favorite. Looks like Malik Jackson just ran into a wall and fell on his ass.

They showed this on the NFL Network this morning and they were loving it. Nate was in awe.

I saw this, this morning. Nice to get the perspective of a former oline. Man he was just crushing those guys. That is intimidating to a defense. Guys don’t want to be on the next highlight reel.

This is gold. Big Q mic'd up

I can dig it.

Are you of the Colts website, Blue Stampede ?

Walk Worthy,

lol, yes that was my favorite! Ryan! Ryan! Then about a minute later when they chest bump he goes, "that was weak, you must be tired".

Twice he says to Glowinski and AC, I was behind you pushing you a little....you don't mind that do you? He's like a little boy in a big boy's body.

Then there was Autry at the beginning of the video telling him "you have the body to crush those fuckers every play"

I don't know why, but Andrew Luck saying "I love you" to his offensive linemen before the game seems like the most Andrew Luck thing ever.

I really love this fuckin guy!! When he says to Costanzo that he thinks he’s lifting his man, but not burying him in the ground yet, to me was priceless!!

Yes! Then in the next frame he both lifts his man and then buries him with a little tea bagging at the end. I read somewhere that his nickname at ND was Earl Grey since he has a habit of tea bagging his victims. Lol. :p

This OL is going to be special!!

Actually, I believe that nickname was hung on him by an NFL team's scouting staff after studying film on him.

They mentioned his perchance for teabagging opponents and their nickname for him to a journo and the name circulated.

Regardless, love this kid CD and how he plays.

This makes me happy.

Yeah, same guy. It's been awhile. Was curious what folks were saying about Nelson.

1. I was happy with the Nelson pick at #6. I wanted the O-line fixed.

2. I have not been nervious at all about his progress this season even when he was "rag dolled" a couple of times in pre-season and early in the regular season. I know that even though he was an outstanding prospect, NFL rookies often get schooled by veterans. That is how they become better.

3. And better he has become. He is rarely out of position now, rarely beat and oftent he one delivering the punishment instead. Playing like a veteran halfway into the season.

4. I was also thrilled with the signing of Smith whom I wanted pre-draft as well as the signing of Slausson. I was less excited about the pick-up of Glowinski and, obviously, he has bloomed beyond all previously shown talent level in the Colts system.

5. We are now in 2nd place with the fewest sacks allowed with 10 on the season. NO leads the league with 9 sacks given up. The 154 yards rushing we have averaged over the past 4 games would lead the league if sustained for a whole season.

6. Opponents of the pick said that an OG could not impact a game enough to warrent the #6 pick. See bullet #5 above and then think about our O-Line last year. Hmmmm.......

7. Good golly I hope these kids can stay healthy and gel even further as a group. They have a chance to become a pretty special O-line if these last 4 games is any indication.

8. O-Line free agents:

2019:

OG Mark Glowinski - Priority re-sign at NFL starter pay

OT J'Marcus Webb - Sign to solid depth contract. Liked him before injury

OT Denzelle Good - Okay with a solid depth contract but he is never healthy

Do not re-sign: Slauson (too old) and Boehm (who?).

2020:

OT Anthony Castonzo - Will be 32 at time of re-signing. As long as he is playing well, a 3 year starter level contract would be good but I would not sign him longer and we need to have a heir apperant waiting in the wings.

OG/T Joe Haeg - Re-sign to a good depth contract. Is always ready to fill in and give quality minutes

OT Le'Raven Clark - Pretty much a must re-sign as long as he continues to progress. He might be the LT heir apperant or he might just be depth but he showed this season that he can be trusted to hold down one of the OT slots.

2021:
OC Ryan Kelly - Priority Re-sign if he continues to progress.

2022:
OT Braden Smith - Priority Re-sign if he continues to progress.

2023:
OG Quinton Nelson (5th year option) - Priority re-sign even if he stays exactly like he is now (which he won't)

We are in GREAT shape in that we only have one current O-line starter coming up each year for a new contact. We don't really have to pick "either/or" on whom to sign.

We also have good depth in Clark, Haeg, Webb and Good whom have all shown starter level potential at one time or another.

I would still maintain that we need to draft an O-lineman each and every year but now none before the 3rd round unless we think they are starter LT material and have dropped well below their expected draft position for one reason or another.

Lets keep this rolling, Ballard!

Walk Worthy,

Nelson says the viral vid was edited:
https://sports.yahoo.com/colts-ol-qu...214143252.html

Quenton Nelson didn't scream while he was delivering a crushing pancake block against Jaguars safety Barry Church during Sunday's 29–26 win, the Colts rookie guard said on Tuesday.

"I saw it got pretty viral on the internet, which was cool," Nelson told reporters on Tuesday. "(But) I wasn't yelling, not on that play. I don't know how it got amped up like that."

According to The Indianapolis Star, a Colts spokesperson told reporters that the team used audio of Nelson screaming on an earlier play and added it to the video of Nelson flattening Church into the ground for fun. The video went viral on Twitter on Monday and had more than 11,000 retweets and 37,000 likes on Tuesday afternoon.

The play from which the audio was pulled from happened late in the first half, where Nelson screamed to be a decoy during a seven-yard bootleg by Andrew Luck.

The Colts released an accurate full-length video of Nelson mic'd up on Monday.

I don't care that it's edited.

I'll be honest, I haven't followed the Colts or ND as much as I used to for the last few years. Most of that stuff you wrote is over my head now. Life has changed for me overseas in Japan and don't have the time to watch much anymore. Always a Colts/Irish fan, but much more casually these days. It's good to see some old familiar "faces" and hope you're all doing well. I'll never forget some of the heated conversations we used to have. Good times.

It's nice to see Luck has an O-line that's protecting him now. He could be great with protection. I loved Nelson's fire at ND and now with the Colts. It's fun watching his highlights.

I'll try to stop by more. Take it easy.

Go Colts!

Go Irish!

Oh....and fuck you, Omaha. ;)

If a lie makes me happy, I will choose to believe it. This is America, after all. :D

Are you offering?

bend over and see what happens

:D

It'll be interesting to see how Nelson does if Kelly misses significant time.

I don't think they'll miss a beat. Snaps might not be as crisp but I think this O-Line has a mentality where they'll fight harder for their wounded brother.
