John from Riverside Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 He was pretty impressive as a receiver for us last year......but his blocking needed a LOT of work..... Lets hope this is a big focus this offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaBill Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 He was pretty impressive as a receiver for us last year......but his blocking needed a LOT of work..... Lets hope this is a big focus this offseason I believe thats why fine was released instead of schouman, schouman is known as a better blocker, so Nelson will prob be our flex reciever TE, but he still needs to improve his blocking. Either way, he's a dangerous receiver and hopefully this new staff will be able to utilize his talent to spread the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotta Dream Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I just hope he stays healthy and stretches the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 needs to be that go to guy that moves the chains on the inside of the defense allowing lee to get open on the outside to really stretch the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalonian-at-Heart Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I didn't think his blocking was all that bad, especially for a rookie. About 10-15 lbs and some technique coaching will go along way with this talented kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffaloed in Pa Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 After watching every game last year. The main problem with Nelson wasn`t his blocking . It was his health,that kept him off the field. I think the kid will be good enough as a blocker. If he can stay healthy ,the sky is the limit. Great hands ,speed and his blocking didn`t look any worse than the other TE`s on the team. I hope these new trainers and strenght coaches work for him and the rest of the team. Let`s go Buffaloooo.

LynchMob23 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I think they'll work on it, but they'll most likely sign a 6th OT type TE to help with the run game and let Nelson become the Y open (split out) player. Brandon Manumaleuna sticks out as an option, as well as the recently departed (two years ago) Michael Gaines amongst others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dog14787 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 He was pretty impressive as a receiver for us last year......but his blocking needed a LOT of work..... Lets hope this is a big focus this offseason Shaun Nelson, an actual quality TE with great hands and big play potential. One of the biggest reasons why our QB's as of late have struggled. The QB needs a good TE security blanket, especially during development. The lack of a pass catching TE over the last few years shows the incompetence of the Buffalo Bills upper management in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStranger76 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Yes, the main concern with Nelson is staying healthy. My vision would be to sign Ben Watson as the down TE and shift Nelson all over the place....other side of the line....right next to Watson.....over to the slot. Ooooooh yeah!!!! It's the way of the new world man!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
