jvan1973 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 are you serious? . . . I think its the colts/broncos and manning that have patented that . . . but regardless my point still stands it was collision at full speed in which one player saw the contact coming, the other did not and former did nothing to avoid the collision . . . similarly my other point stands and that is "pick" plays do not occurred at full speed . . . after the play has started and players are ramped up to full speed no is expecting contact . . . you as a WR need to get out of the way and run to green grass . . .So players should make sure the opponent is looking before throwing a block? If Talib didn'tsee it coming that's on him. They teach you to keep your head on a swivel in little league ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 All in all this was an absolutely pathetic thing to say by BB. I guess he was so butthurt that the Broncos stomped them that he had to go out and insult one of the classier guys in the league in Wes Welker. I've lost a ton of respect (what little I've had) for him. Oh well, I guess he has all off-season to dwell on it. Stay sour Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yehoodi Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 so you think Welker was intentionally trying to injure Talib? surely it is tough to "prove" one is trying injure another as the default is players do not try to injure others as there is a code . . . but I will make two points . . . first Welker was on a team with Talib last year who, when injured, our defensive back field fell apart and Bolden went for 3 TDs if I recall . . . and Talib was injured this year and just getting back to being somewhat healthy . . . and yes there is a code that one does not want to injury another, however encompassed is in this code is just that . . . "do not do something that might cause injury to another" . . . and as we know injuries occurred a great deal when one is not able to brace for a hit and as such, when a player sees an potential unbraced hit coming, kind of like Welker see Talib for a full 7 steps and he see him not looking at him but following Thomas, one should take evasive action to avoid the unbraced contact . . . so no maybe not he was trying to injury him in a way " I am going to get him and take him out of the game at any costs" , but is actions were reckless in the fact that he had oceans of green grass to his right, but he took seven steps and ran into a player who did not see him coming . . . that at a minimum in my book is reckless . . . a WR default is to get open not to many contact with an unsuspecting DB, especially when you have plenty of time to avoid him and do ones default job . . .

Mameluc Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Welker inteded to injure a player? seriously, the shorter WR? the one with a concussion history? seriously? why not either of the Thomas I saw the play, it should have been ap enatly but Welker was looking at manning and maybe the point was making sure Talib didnt have a chance to catch the intended WR and bump but in no way i can say after watching the play the dude wanted to take him out of the game...or hurt his knee? he hit him in the rib areA!!! the whole knee injury was an accident of the type of play, not a purpose. now being accident doesn tmake it right.

Yehoodi Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 So players should make sure the opponent is looking before throwing a block? If Talib didn'tsee it coming that's on him. They teach you to keep your head on a swivel in little league ball So a WR should look to see where the DB is coming from before he gets clocked? so the NFL should abolish the rule? So an engaged lineman is supposed to look down and shake off a choke block? so the NFL should abolish this rule? So an DB should look for the blindside WR who clocks him as he is coming back to the LOS? so the NFL should abolish this rule? so a ST player should look where he is going when he gets a chop back blocker by an opponent? so the NFL should abolish this rule? So a QB is supposed to look down and hop over a diving player at his needs? and so on . . . the issue here is not whether or not its a rule or not rule but an understanding among free thinking fans that what Welker did was unnecessary . . . given the fact that ones job is to go out for a pass and the above rules an indication that the NFL, and hopefully free thinking intelligent people, realize is that some interactions between combatants come be dangerous to another, and that when one chooses to avoid his default job and enters into a contact that is dangerous, do complain if one takes offense to the actions . . . bottom line you can spin it any way to you want, but Welker made a blindside contact at speed instead of taking a single step down field to open grass . . . period . . . not everything that is dirty is illegal and not everything that is reckless is illegal, and it not ones job to look for someone who is not supported to be there . . . and in the end of the day Welker, who's job it is to avoid defenders and get separation, ending up making a blind side contact when the ball was in the air . . .

It goes against fundamentals, but one receiver is sacrificed for the play.Exactly. In an offense notorious for demanding precision Welker isn't going to ad lib from his assigned pick. Green grass or not, Welkers qb is expecting him to sacrifice himself on the play, and that's what he did. To do otherwise would invite turnovers and is not a decision made by a veteran wr.

They teach you to keep your head on a swivel in little league ball look, you head is not going to be on a swivel when you are following the WR and the ball has not been thrown, you job is to the follow the WR not to look around for pick plays, much less someone running at you at speed , , , and again this is different from a LOS scrimmage bunch play when you are in traffic of about 6 or 8 players and might want to look around to not get picked . . . but it was the open field and no one in sight but the man you are covering . . . the ball had not been thrown and you are watching he WR . . . it would be one thing, kind of like Edelman where the ball was caught and the WR has taken 7 steps, then all if fair game, expect for of coarse the hines ward chop back block, which is illegal no matter how long the WR has caught the ball . . . it would of been one thing if Thomas caught the ball and ran two or three steps and welker hit him straight on, but that is not what happened, , , talib is not expecting to get hit at speed in that situation . . . and I would even argue as welker is going slightly back to the LOS at contact that it would fall under the hines ward hit that Thomas even caught it and ran 5 steps . . . but regardless is has everything to do with what your opponent is expecting you to do . . . and the recklessness of making blindside contact to one who is not expecting the hit as the ball had not been caught . . . that is the point . . . the theory behind all of those penalties I mentioned prior has to do with hits that are unexpected and are deemed not correct . . . that is the point .

AntonMcG Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I really don't think either play was designed "to take" out anyone. Both were pick plays but Welker's was a worse hit and should have penalized for PI. Right. If it was just a pick play then Bill would have not said boo as the Pats run picks all the time as do most teams in the league. There was intent to injure. Big difference.
