I remember reading your article early 2013 about Patriots should let Welker walk… Could you re-link the article? I like your thoughts then and I believe they are still relevant to the team going forward. It’s just a lot of the stuff that happened since were so unexpected (Hernandez, Gronk, Injuries) that has made those thoughts difficult to realize.. I still believe that’s a good blueprint to have going forward. Props to you for the good Pats work and twit feed. Thanks.

Here it is. I still think it was the right call. Doesn’t look great right now, but this was a decision made with the next four seasons in mind, not just the start of the 2013 season. And you’re right, there have been so many other problems to deal with this season, keeping Welker was only delaying the inevitable.

“A lot of teams don’t really have as much responsibility as far as (their ends) just getting off on the ball; they just want them to get off, get off, get off. For me, I can’t do that because it messes up how our team plays on defense. So my job really is to force the quarterback to make a decision early by getting pressure on him, but not running behind him. That’s one big thing that’s always told to me: never be behind the quarterback, that’s the worst place for a D-lineman to be. “So my approach is to start early in the game with some bull-rushes just to kind of set him up so they short set me, and then work an inside move to come down even more, and then get outside on him. If you watch any of my games, the first parts of the game, I’m usually more power rushes. And as the offensive line adjusts to how I’m doing that, then I will start working the edges a little bit more.”
