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.
