It's been obvious to me that Welker's role in the road opener was throttled so that Brown could enter the Pats HoF with the record intact Saturday. I understand why the front office cannot say this and why the team would not. I can understand why Patriots All Access would not talk about this. What I cannot understand is why they would discuss other possibilities. Does it help ratings to speculate that the Pats are getting ready for life after WW? I expect Welker to have a big Sunday and that both he and Troy Brown will have a great weekend.Troy Brown 'created opportunities' for Welker. Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker will likely surpass Troy Brown's franchise receiving record, which he tied last week, on Sunday. Welker on Friday credited Brown for paving the way for his role in New England. "Troy was just such a great player here for a long time and he's done so many great things here, and it's really opened up things here for the position that I now play, that was his. And it's created so many opportunities for me," Welker said.
