Shouldaplayedflutie99 Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 I bet Rex will do what he needs to in order to get any inside info on our offense...he would probably sign/pay him just for that.
Buftex Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 I always liked Shawn Nelson. Very good receiving tight end...I think the Bills let him go for health (migranes?) reasons.
mrags Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 It's too bad this kid never worked out. Could have had a pretty good career IMO. He had all the tools to be a solid TE but the health issues became a problem. Honestly I didn't know if he was even on the team anymore or not. I wouldn't be suprised to see Rex pick him up and attempt to get some info out of him. Unfortunately for Rex, just like Maybin, Nelson never played enough to get any information. Rex is using Maybin in some pretty situational circumstances and I think it's 90% fluke considering he just kinda got thrown onto the QB from the Oline on 1 of his sacks, and rhe other was a RB that fell down in the play. Sorry tobjack the thread and turn it into an anit-Maybin thread. Just dont see Nelson doing anything, he's too injury prone.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Well he is the guy on the Bills team calendar this month...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 I'm still annoyed at Nelson for his inability to protect the ball against the Ravens last year. I think he has Leodis disease… that he's a bit short on football IQ. I didn't like the Nelson pick. At the time he was drafted, I was hoping the Bills would take Richmond's Lawrence Sidbury. Not sure what's going on with Sidbury… he's only played in 3 games this year for Atlanta but he has two sacks.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 I'm still annoyed at Nelson for his inability to protect the ball against the Ravens last year. I blame the refs. How do you not blow the whistle? He was stood up for 5 seconds.
Dorkington Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 I always liked Shawn Nelson. Very good receiving tight end...I think the Bills let him go for health (migranes?) reasons. This and this.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 I blame the refs. How do you not blow the whistle? He was stood up for 5 seconds. Yes the whistle should have blown. But if you look at the replays, it appears that Nelson takes his one hand off the ball and is waving it in protest as if he thinks the play should be blown dead or a flag thrown or something. It's one thing to have your hand ripped off the ball and quite another for it to be above your shoulder when the ball is near your waist. IMO, he should have (like Leodis' ill-fated kick return against the Patsies*) devoted every fibre of his being to protecting the ball… and I don't believe that Nelson did this.

If you're describing it accurately (no reason to doubt you; I just don't remember), then I agree that he screwed up. Just go down, for crying out loud.

Mr. WEO Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 He was being pushed forward (including by his teammates) and was therefore still making forward progress.

Just go down, for crying out loud. I'll try to find the video. It's the second slo-mo camera angle…at around 3:00. Look at Nelson's right hand… what the hell was he doing? http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2010102402/2010/REG7/bills@ravens#menu=highlights&tab=recap

Heitz Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 I hear he had 4 sacks - 4 SACKS AS A TE END! Dammmmmmmn yoooooooou Buddddddddy Niiiiiiiiix!!
Homey D. Clown Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 they needed to fill their open roster spot they had for left bench, strong-side Migraine sufferer.
Captain Hindsight Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Kid has great potential. Couldnt put it all together... not surprised hes getting a few looks
Alphadawg7 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 From Twitter... Former Buffalo Bills TE Shawn Nelson tried out with the New York Jets yesterday. Former OT Langston Walker tried out with Dallas Maybe they figure they are getting production out of Maybin and get something out of Nelson now too...lol
Matt in KC Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 You know your team is turning it around when other teams start picking up your cast offs!
