now get him out of the way. have him work on his routes with the passing team. everyone knows what he can do, and there's no need to hit him at this point. more time to heal in peace is a good thing, plus it gives more reps to the inexperienced who will need to be counted on regardless of welker's status
Good. This is the first step. The next is getting hit on the field by the opponent during preseason and then, finally, the season with a game on the line.
That'll be nerve-wracking like peeking through your hands. Once that first one's over it's not so bad. Or maybe once the second one's over...
Get that first full-game hit over with!
Well, Welker is mentally tough. Maybe the toughest on the team when it comes to his mentality. But there's still a chance that it'll take him a couple of regular season games to get over it. I remember Brady getting hit early in the preseason last year and made the point that he still looked timid in the pocket in the ensuing preseason games. It continued during the first two weeks of the regular season when he clearly wasn't stepping all the way into his throws. It was around Week 3 when he started to improve. This could, or could not be, the same case for Welker. It all depends on whether or not it's constantly on his mind when he catches the ball and turns it upfield.
I was at training camp last year (this was prior to joining this forum). Brady was having those exact same problems in training camp.
Well, Welker is mentally tough.
