Owf71 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I Hate to say it and I really like the guy, but seems like he's not making the tough catches...or should say trying to make them. Anyone else see him shutter on that last pass? He practically hid when the ball was thrown. May just be out of frustration but I seem to be yelling "What the #%*{ Nelson" a lot the last few games.

Â I thought he had a good game last week against the Jets - 5 catches for 47 yds, and some of them were tough catches in traffic. Â I didn't see the plays you're talking about (I was too frustrated when it came to 1 minute and no timeouts), but I've seen it earlier in the season. Then the next game he'll show up and play well. Â Talley has said on Twitter that as a LB if you just nail some WR early on you own them for the rest of the game, and I'm concerned that may be true of Nelson. Â What about Smith though? He was money today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I think Fitz has been looking to Smith and the TEs more the past few weeks and Nelson has been a forgotten man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantankerous Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I think Nelson hears footsteps and is a little hesitant now. I started noticing it a few weeks back, when he took a few big hits (I can't remember which game at the moment). Â The entire receiving corps got their asses kicked against Miami...I think it's starting to show they aren't as mentally tough as they need to be.

They're all playing like a bunch of sissies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggieScooby Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Nelson is a good route runner for less vertical threat receiver, but a wuss he is not. I would like to see him get more vertical passes like back shoulder throws and streaks and posts. The guy is too big and has too good of hands not to get a few isolation deep targets per game.

Dr. Trooth Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yes, Nelson is soft. But, so is the rest of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 i wouldn't call him "soft" at all....but he should pack on more upper body strength. he has plenty of upside and i consider him a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouds Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 He wasn't shying away from contact until he was absolutely leveled during the Cowboys/Miami games. Fitz got him killed and now he's a bit more hesitant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainwampus Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I think that last pass by Fitzy was just too fast. It whizzed by Nelson, a defender, then finally right by Stevie before hitting the ground. I wouldn't call Nelson soft. He has the best hands on the team IMO.
