If the job is to block, maybe he is the best.Greg A. Bedard @GregABedard
Patriots played 15 snaps of "12" personnel (1 RB, 2 TEs). Welker played 2 snaps. Edelman played 13.
FWIW. You may be right about the # of runs. In which case maybe it comes down to blocking, and things make a little more sense if we assume the team views Edelman as a better blocker. I still think there has to be a better receiver for that 12 personnel than Edelman. No offense to Edelman, who, again, I think has his value.
It makes perfect sense that we want to limit Welkers reps.
It makes perfect sense that the game plan, as Lynch said he was told by Brady was to run when they are given the run and throw when they are given the pass.
It makes perfect sense to have a package that Welker is not in on in order to limit his reps.
It makes perfect sense that the package is the 12, given all of the above because teams have consistently dared us to run from that.
A gameplan variation applies to the game. Making more out of it is pointless when it happened one time.
