I don’t have a huge issue with the decision to go for it in OT, but that’s only because I don’t believe the team is going anywhere this year. If I thought they would be in the playoff hunt then I’d be pissed. Aggressive is one thing, reckless is another.
The play Nelson got blew up by Clowney was bad. However, Clowney is a pretty damn good player and he gets paid to do this stuff too. Nelson isn’t going to win every snap, but maybe it will stop the “that’s why you draft Nelson at 6” posts that seem to be brought up when he makes a good block. No one play (good or bad) will define Nelson’s career or Ballard’s decision.
