Ike on Welker? Yes or No

I say not full time. Welker has to be hit all day crossing the middle and bumped off the line. If he is allowed to get a free release, he will torment the secondary.

I feel like Gay was matched with Welker or someone else ridiculous a lot last year.

Actually Gay was on Gronkowski a lot last year and got burned. Heres the patriots receiving stats from last years game:
Welker 8 catches 89 yds
gronkowski 5 catches 72 yds 3 TD's
Branch 7 catches 79 yds

So my "or someone else ridiculous" comment was pretty accurate.

know why? cause of gronk and TO burning him for a total of 6 TDs last year. other than that hes solid, he never should have been on them without help

I think Big snack should fall on Welker and have difficulty getting up

Willie Gay is ok but not starter quality IMHO, if he can handle Welker, I may change my mind.

Just put Ryan Clark on him for one play

BOOOOMMMM...see my sig, you other brothas can't deny

Ike on Branch. Gay on Welker, get physical with him at the line and disrupt his routes EVERY CHANCE you get. Lewis on Stinko. Timmons and Troy on the TEs. Wood, Hood, Heyward, McClendon, Keisel, and Worlids (hope he plays, not on injury list) bring the heat on Brady.

On a side note, I saw someone mention that Lewis is faster than Gay...I thought Gay was pretty speedy.
