Just to jog everyone's memory, let's recall this FIRST QUARTER hit from Smith to Welker and how it impacted the game from week 2.
Q1: 3-9-NE 46 (3:43) (Shotgun) 12-T.Brady pass incomplete deep left to 83-W.Welker. NE-83-W.Welker was injured during the play. PENALTY on NYJ-33-E.Smith, Unnecessary Roughness, 15 yards, enforced at NE 46 - No Play.
After this, Wes was playing like a zombie out there. He wasn't himself. I suspect he was concussed. I know I'm still mad as hell about this. And if you recall so was Belichick. The $7,500 fine from it really seems pathetic when compared with the many other fines we've seen from other games this season.
I don't know if this was their strategy last time or merely coincidence, however if it happens again in this game, I think we will have the answer to that.
