Wes Welker is 5’9” and 185 lbs
Aqib Talib is 6’1” and 205 lbs

It was a clean block, made by a smaller player on a larger player, that was made after the ball was touched by the receiver.

Belichick is famous for whining. This is another whine.

You can’t block before a Reception. That’s A) Offensive Interference or B) A Pick.

“It was a clean block, made by a smaller player on a larger player, that was made after the ball was touched by the receiver.”

Looked like Welker was lining him up for a helmet-to-helmet shot, but pulled off it hitting him with his shoulder instead. The hit was clean, but the corner is sort of helpless in that situation. Usually it’s the corner or safety dishing a hit like that on a receiver. As long as the hit is clean, there’s no foul.

Come on bellywhine-Denver’s defence played better than yours. Thus you lost-look elsewhere other than a small wr blocking a defensive back. Players get hurt and it is amazing that they are as durable as they are. Quit your bellyaching and excuse making. You have been to the big party more than most.
