That works if the team doesn't have any other good options. However, Welker has been tearing it up this year. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes for 100+ and a TD.

Wes Welker will not be a problem. Stallworth might be a problem. Springs like's checking good slot WRs. Besides Brady will try to test the middle and Welker might get hurt off that one. The Patriots haven't seen a Defense like ours. We have seen Detriot who has an explosive WR core. I'm not saying the Lions are in the Patriots league but atleast we know we can play against a good WR core.
