Regardless of the win, I DO NOT play Tannor and Nelson at OLB in passing situations going forward. WORTHLESS. I run a big line with some of my ends as pass rushers or I play some of the young pups.

I don’t like either one of them. Phildarius Payne should play all game. He doesn’t make great plays, but he doesn’t screw up. Heinrich Is blah. Needs to get bigger.
Tannor should never see the field. Nelson took a step back from last year. I'd like to see if Cooper can do something. At least he made a nice play on special teams.
Nelson hasn't even been physical enough this year. Don't know what his problem is.
Maybe he should get a haircut so see he can actually see what the offense is doing. Several times you could see his hair getting in his way in his helmet. Winking
You and everyone who liked this should be ashamed of yourselves. You aren’t even paying attention if you think these are our best OLBs considering that Reimer is an ILB...
I guess you didn’t watch the game today. They played him outside way more than inside today.
It was just a matter of time until fans stopped loving Nelson...nice story and all but that is all it is.
Would you rather be Nelson who plays, but not very well, or Tate Wildeman, Chris Walker who do not even make the travel roster?
A lot of hate for tannor. I’ve been disappointed in Nelson but have to remember he was never supposed to be a baller. The fact that he’s playing this much this early is a plus for him and a negative on the guys in front of him.
With Tannor, I haven’t seen him out of position but also haven’t honed in on him. Payne is the real surprise. Love when jucos contribute early.

I didn’t realize we had so many ex all American linebackers on this board. My compliments to all of you.
I would rather have Payne and Heinrich. Nelson won't be playing much as time goes on.
I got a chuckle when they showed him. So much hair coming out of the helmet, how can he see peripherally?
Wildeman and Walker are not OLB but I was just saying, at least Nelson is playing at a young age.
Yeah, but he should not be, that is the problem. Recruiting has sucked at that position.
I have. Never seen a player get planted on his back as much as Tannor has. Makes zero contribution on just about any other play. He's a division 2 level player at best.
Agree, that goes for the farniok sisters as well, Pantene pretty boys need to cut it short
He was better last year. May be the next in a long line of players to have their best year as a true freshman, then do nothing afterwards.
I think Nelson played more than average today was because of D Thomas going down? No? And yes, I know they play different positions..
Dying for the days of past when our linebackers could really run. Our boys are so slow
