Wes Welker

If there was anything good to watch in the Dolphins devastating loss to the Patriots yesterday, it was Wes Welker.

Here is why:

During pregame warmups in Foxboro, Miami kicker Olindo Mare strained a calf muscle and couldn’t play. In came backup wide receiver Welker, who, in four years at Texas Tech, attempted one extra point and had it blocked. In this game, he booted the opening kickoff to the New England 11, returned the first Miami kickoff 27 yards, returned a punt 14 yards, kicked a perfect extra point, and kicked a 29-yard field goal. Welker isn’t special teams player of the week. He’s special teams player of the year. When’s the last time a guy kicked off, kicked placements, returned kicks, returned punts, played receiver and made a special-teams tackle … in one game? Maybe Gino Cappellettii. Fittingly, he was here Sunday, doing the game on radio for the Patriots.

    Gotta love the Texas Tech boy… He may be from Oklahoma but he is one of the most down to earth football players I have ever met. He was just glad to have a chance to play the game professionally.
