I didn't think Ed Nelson would make it.

Re: Nelson survives one camp, thats all!
You're right Wraith, quite a lot of press for a long-shot. He hasn't played football in, what, eight years? He was worth checking out, but the odds he'd actually be the next Gates were slim to begin with.

Re: Nelson survives one camp, thats all!
Here we go. Expect "changes" aplenty, more roster cuts than additions as weeks go by.
Best wishes, Nelson.

Re: Nelson survives one camp, thats all!
Rams | Nelson struggled to pick up football terminology
Mon, 15 May 2006 18:27:59 -0700
ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the St. Louis Rams released rookie free agent TE Ed Nelson because he struggled at times to assimilate football terminology. A few other teams inquired about Nelson after the draft, so there is a chance that one will offer him at least a tryout. Nelson will take some time to see if other teams indicate an interest in him before determining the direction of his future. Nelson was regarded as a longshot to make the roster.

Re: Nelson survives one camp, thats all!
I don't blame him. Alot of those terms are big. And plus from going from College Basketball to NFL Football is one heck of a jump to make.

He doesn't get the football language. Like types of coverages and all that.

LOL Can you imagine playing a "deep post pattern" Vs. "playing the post" confusion? Originally Posted by AvengerRam
