Cdog923 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I honestly don't get the love for Garrett Nelson at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment

Granted, he's made some mistakes, but he makes them at full speed, which is all you can ask of a player. There was one play in particular in which he absolutely ran over the Purdue right tackle, and Garrett gives up at least 75 lbs to the guy. High motor, never gives up - we don't see that from everyone out there. If we had 11 Nelsons out there, I bet we'd be pretty stout. 2 Quote Link to comment

I think there are two important things Nelson brings. First, he's not ok with being just ok. Second, he's going to hold guys accountable in the weight room. The weight room is a big, big deal to Frost. 4 Quote Link to comment

I'd rather watch him make freshman mistakes at 100% speed then watch Davis and Ferguson make the same mistakes as Seniors every game. 3 Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Just remember while sitting at the Purdue game noticing Garrett Nelson was one of the few guys to sprint on and off the field before or after going in. Can tell the guy has heart. Would love to see him develop. 1 Quote Link to comment

Sure, I get that, and that is great, but that shouldn't be the only rationale to be a Blackshirt, IMO. And that play in question: he might have had a successful bull rush on a RT, but he was nowhere near making a play. He has also, on more than one occasion, ran himself out of a play and given up rush lanes/cutback lanes. Can he grow into a good/great player? Sure. His playing time this year is more of an indication of the lack of depth we have more than his actual ability at this point in time, IMHO. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
