How did Wes Welker look?

He fumbled on one return and didn't run up to field a short punt which landed on our 30 and bounced to our 6. Two huge mistakes!
 
Welker

Here comes the Welker apologist, so please humor me.

That was a pretty tough situation for a rookie PR/KR. First game with a new team, horrible playing conditions, etc. Give Wes another game before you guys write him off as NFL Europe material. Hope he has a better game against the jets.
 
The fact that we're even asking how "Wes Welker" looked is an indication of how bad this team is.

I agree, first game start on a wet field post-hurricane in pouring down rain. Come on, you expect the guy to have 3 TD's from returns in the first week?

He was better than brightful and thats all that matters.

Look how many fumbles brightful had with GOOD weather in Cincy, think what he would have done last night!
 
i was VERY skeptical when we got wes, anyone will tell you that.

after watching this game i feel better about him and think he will do well for us.
keep in mind he had to field like 8 punts, caught 6 of them, could NOT make cuts in wet mud, so pretty much just had to CATCH the ball and run forward and fall down... this he did well. the one time he tried to do something fancy he coughed it up, although if you watched the replay he was down before he fumbled it.... but since we recovered there was no challenge.

overall he did great, i can't even imagine how many fumbles brightful would have had with a WET ball....

Yeah, let's give him another game before he starts looking like he belongs on this team....He tried last night but, you can't expect the guy to go from good to bad overnight. You gotta give the rest of the team time to rub off on him.

Exactly...the guy only had a few days in town, and it was miserable weather...I think he will be good

Oh really? So the guy who returns kicks and punts isn't important otherwise?
