The Giants’ defensive linemen have been studying cutups of Quenton Nelson’s blocking in preparation for Sunday’s game. They’ve come away impressed by the Colts’ rookie guard. They’ve used words such as “strong,” “tough,” and “physical” to describe his play.
But then there are the other video clips of Nelson that haven’t been shown in the meeting room as the Giants fine-tune their gameplans and techniques. They’re the clips of what Nelson does after his blocks. Those the Giants' defenders watch on their own while cruising around social media or surfing through sports highlight shows.
The rookie has developed a reputation for not only flattening opponents, but also humiliating them by haunching over their facemasks and lingering for a moment or two in a show of dominance.
