Surely this makes them easier to defend. I thought this would be the case but I wanted numbers to prove it. This is, by year, the % of Indy passing yards going to Wayne and Harrison combined :
2003 : 50.5%
2004 : 50.3%
2005 : 53.7%
2006 : 62.1%
(regular season only, I didn't bother adding playoffs)
Now, I know those guys are great and tough to defend but these numbers show how, especially this year, the targets Manning is looking at are closing in and must make him more defendable.
Before anyone throws Dallas Clark and his injury this year at me, in the game in which he played this year (including playoffs) he's averaged 3 catches for 37 yards per game this year.
