Wes Welker Rumours

[longtimefan]

Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. Not exactly slouches. And Julius Thomas.

So he wasnt getting open when there was top tier players on same field ?

One might say -- that's like Adams not being targeted when Cobb and Nelson are on the field?

Welker was targeted 109 times out of 474 pass routes run (23.0%) in 2013, his only other season in Denver when the Broncos had Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas and Eric Decker on the roster.

I think it's fair to talk about him declining in 2014.

What were the targets for other players during the same times

 

[HardRightEdge]

Who were other wr at those times?

Example

If he were to come here and on field with Cobb and Nelson -- who who draw the most coverage? Would it be easier or harder for him to get open?

That could have been a huge factor as to why he wasn't getting open- or targeted in your stats

Yeah, D. Thomas and Sanders had 325 targets; that will suck the air out of the room.

Julius Thomas played 13 games / 10 starts and got only 63 targets, down from 90 in 14 games the previous year. Even he was a bystander in the Thomas/Sanders show.

Welker was the #4 target.
