Phillips is right that Welker is no AJ Green... he's better.
This is perhaps the dumbest thing Phillips could have said going into this match. I wonder what Arian Foster thinks?
I can't decide if Phillips is the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man or the Pillsbury Dough Boy.

silly man. this is why your defense has never beaten tom brady.
Ah... I love it, more fuel please? add another log to the fire which is the New England Patriots! Now I hope we beat them worse than last time. GO WELKAAAA!!!!!!
You're in a kind mood indeed.He's pretty out of shape himself.

Nothing like bulletin board material...
I thought we were just saying that these guys shouldn't need "bulletin board" material....
Or does that just apply to the Texans?
Never mind. It shouldn't be an insult to say Wes Welker isn't very athletic, he's not. He's a bad ass athlete, no doubt. But if he were an exceptional athlete, he'd have gone in the first round. He'd have never left San Diego or Miami.
I've watched him since he played at Texas Tech & athletic was never how I would have described him. He's a smart, hustle player with tremendous drive. He's doing very well in New England, because he's just like Brady & Bellichick...... two guys who are also not very athletic.
I'm sure Wade did not mean to insult Welker any more than I am. He is what he is, a throwback to the glory years of football when a 4.4 forty wasn't on anybody's radar & they thought leather helmets protected their noggins.

The problem with your position is that Welker is, in fact, very athletic, and he's got the numbers to prove it. What he is not is tall and rocket propelled. Phillips got caught up with the word "athletic", when he could have said something like "Welker is more quick and about cuts than he is blazing fast and about killing you deep...".
