What Belichick’s History Tells Us About Wes Welker’s Situation — Boston Sports Media Watch

I’m quickly getting burned out on all the Welker stuff today, but here’s a good take from Bruce Allen.

But trust me, the people inside that building generally know more than you or the media do. Whatever the reason that Wes Welker’s workload has changed in the early part of this season, they have a damn good reason for it. They’re just not going to tell you. Nor should they. In mind, it comes down to one of two things: Either the Patriots offense is changing to be less reliant on what Welker brings to it (either for strategic reasons or in anticipation of losing him), or, the Patriots feel that Julian Edelman is more deserving to be on the field at this time.
