Seriously, but how long before they make the Nelson "Teabag Special" illegal?

PFF snippet on Nelson:

Nelson’s early season struggles are now well in the rearview mirror after the former Notre Dame standout ended his Week 11 game against the Titans with a pass-blocking grade of 86.7 – the best single-game mark of his career to date. All told, he didn’t allow a single pressure from his 34 pass-blocking snaps, and since Week 6, Nelson has allowed pressure on just 1.2% of his pass blocks – the second-best rate among guards in that span.

That translates into Nelson having allowed pressure on the QB on just 2 of the 158 pass attempts (155 by Luck, 2 by Brissett and 1 by Ebron) the Colts have run during weeks 6 - 11.

The rook is pretty unreal and is as advertized pre-draft with all the hype. It looks like he can walk the walk of being a top tier NFL lineman.

Walk Worthy,

Nelson is absolutely killing it this season, yeah he's been beat a few times here and there,that happens to the best of them (the defense gets paid too), but the mentality he brings to the O-Line has been incredible and contagious.

I love the fact that no matter what, he plays through the whistle every play.

Pay attention to the end of the plays, he's always the one picking up his teammates after a play, or to congratulate them on a 68 yard touchdown bomb, like TY this week when Nelson "Simba'd" him. TY even rewarded him with the football to spike.

This team is having fun out there, something I haven't been able to say for several years.

I am fortunate to have season tickets this year, although it's a boring ass 3hr drive from Michiana every week, I can't wait to renew/upgrade for next year. The crowd has even gotten back into things after a slow start early on.

As an HS/Youth O-line coach, he's incredible to watch in person and will provide some good tape to show my boys.

Been watching him in person for a few years now, but seems to really have figured things out these last 2 years, just glad it wasn't only a product of being surrounded by elite talent at ND and glad to see Mcglinchey having similar success at San Fran.

Please re watch the third and nine with two minutes to go in the fourth quarter of tonight's Dolphin's game. When Luck starts his scramble he and the entire offensive and defensive line are at the Colts 35 EXCEPT for Nelson and his man who Nelson has freakin stonewalled at the Colts 40. Not only does Luck run thru the hole make by Nelson's damn stonewall, Nelson holds his block until after Luck runs up behind his big ass and throws for the first down. Damn this guy is a difference maker.

Dude mentioned on Baldinger's twitter site that Nelson got a few holding calls on him. I love Baldy's answer

Replying to @BaldyNFL @Colts @BigQ56

@BigQ56 played well but got his name called by the official a few times today. Was it something D was doing in particular that was getting him today, officials just calling it a bit different, or ???

lol...............b/c he wants to crush their spirit. That's the best!

On a different note, I remember a quote by Andrew a few weeks ago regarding Nelson having the biggest back he has ever seen. Since then I have been trying to get a good visual of Nelson standing next to normal sized people. I finally had the chance yesterday as I was at the game and could see the colts sideline pretty closely. I saw him standing next to support personnel a couple of times and that dude's torso is ginormous. You couple that with a mentality of destroying the oppositions.....Can't imagine that coming at me across the line.

That was one of the first things I noticed about that play.

Off topic but I really love the speed blue color rush uni's. They look fantastic. Simple, bold, and strong.

OMG the comments are great. In all seriousness, though, you'd think he'd worry about an angry lineman punching him in his junk especially if it becomes known that teabagging is his thing. I know I would......that is if I had some junk.
