Welker bounty?

For the last couple of years it has seemed that opposing defenses have deliberately tried to injure Welker...usually by late hits but sometimes more blatant. It seemed built into their game plan. Has there been any word of bounties against Welker?

Re: Welker bounty?

Players have always been trying to knock out the opposing teams best players, does it really make a difference if someone got paid in the process?

Yes, it's like prostitution.

I would sure like to know if Eric Smith or Ryan Clark got a reward for trying injure Welker....The Smith hit was a deliberate head shot and the Clark hit was appalling.

Welker plays in a way that makes him more likely to take those big hits. I doubt he gets targeted anymore than any other elite weapon on an elite team does.

Welker's an elite WR, he's very hard to defend. He's also small for a WR, of course the opposing teams will try to knock him around a bit. Maybe not deliberately try to injure, but definitely rough him up and keep him off his game. And as mentioned he's not the only guy who gets targeted like that.

I thought the Polamalu attempt to break Welker's neck was also disgusting but the league didnt anything about that. What about Stomper headhunting on Todd Heap, or James Harrison's torpedo of Colt McCoy?

Here's an idea: GO AFTER DIRTY PLAYERS! If you give real suspensions to dirty players the dirty play will stop, all this nonsense about bounties is just a bunch of hype so Goddell can pretend like he's actually doing something.

Ryan Clark was the ***** in question on that play.
