Wes Welker vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers ‘10

I’m just about certain that Welker will lead the NFL in catches again in 2011, and he’ll certainly won’t be dropping passes like he did last season. The fact is that Welker probably wouldn’t have even played last season if it was just five years ago. Pretty rare when you see a player with a torn ACL miss one game total.

Remember the difference between ’09 Brady and ’10 Brady, then apply that to Welker. Uncoverable.

“I have spoken to Nate,” Mankins said at the Joe Andruzzi Golf Tournament today at TPC Boston. “He seems like a great guy. I gave him a little advice, and tried to help him out the best I can in the situation we’re in.”

“Well, this time, the Patriots gave him my number,” Mankins said. “I’m more than willing to help any young guy who needs anything. Look, he’s in a tough situation right now, He doesn’t know what’s going on. He has no coaches to talk to. He’s just trying to make it in this league.”

What’s it gonna take to get Mankins back long term with the Patriots? Is there anything at all that I can do to make this happen?

BB introduces Jerod Mayo on NFLN’s Top 100 Tonight!!

Excited to hear BB talk Mayo, and what kind of a player the Pats are willing to spend a high first round pick on.

Mike Reiss:

Bill Belichick presents Jerod Mayo on NFL Network’s “Top 100” series tonight (8 p.m.). I expect to hear Belichick talk about Mayo’s professionalism, maturity beyond his years, and passion for the game. When Mayo was looking for a place to live after getting drafted, he made sure it was within five minutes to the stadium because he knew that’s where he’d be spending most of his time.

Despite the fact that Welker ended the 2010 season with 86 catches for 848 yards, by his own admission, he was never quite at 100 percent, thanks in large part to spending the offseason rehabbing instead of training.

This year, Welker is more than a year removed from the torn ACL and shoulder surgery, and said that lockout aside, there’s been no comparison between this offseason and last offseason.“It’s been great. I’ve actually been able to train instead of rehabbing. It’s been a world of difference. I’ve actually been able to bench press for the first time. I’ve been able to squat because of my shoulder — I can reach back there to grab the bar. Some of those things are kind of key when it comes to football. I’m definitely excited about that and that’s encouraging to see.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to use some of those skills I’m working on now during the season.“I feel so much better. It’s been great, really. Being able to train … I have confidence and everything. I feel good out there. The running, there’s no achiness. There’s none of that. It’s just being able to go out there and being able to do everything I’ve been able to do in the past and not have the aches and pains in the morning or anytime through it all. It’s been nice to see.”

A nice reminder since it seems like everyone looks at WW’s ‘10 and sees “decline”. Expect WW to return to uncoverable status in ’11.

Patriots players Brian Hoyer and Wes Welker confirmed what I thought when it comes to player-organized workouts during this lockout offseason. The Xs and Os impact of the workouts is minor, with the true value coming with players forming stronger relationships with others on the club. I think that team dynamic is underrated and it’s why I think every first, second or third-year player would be smart to train in Foxborough in Jerod Mayo-led workouts. Third-year Patriots receiver Brandon Tate has done so. The jury is still out on whether Tate can be a consistent top-2 receiver, but it sounds like he’s doing everything possible to put himself in position to take the next step.
