LOL. that was a block well after the reception was made. Completely different than running into a defender before the catch is made.
The plays are not even similar. One is an illegal pick on an unsuspecting defensive back. The other is a legal block down field.
Whether Bellichek is a cheater or not (I don't care about him) doesn't mean he was wrong in this instance.
Look at it again, the whole play, Talib put his shoulders up. I think Welker got the worst of it. What Edelman done was dirty as heck, but Denver has too much class to whine about playing football.
Start at that 1:37 mark and watch it. Talib saw Welker all the way.
He may have saw him, he may have not. But you aren't allowed as a WR to run directly at a defensive player and block him before the ball is completed.
WTF is dirty about a legal block?
You are arguing about a play that was legal and somehow calling it a pick even though the pass was completed 5 seconds prior.
CC did you notice how nobody cared when that prick CB (Porter I think it was though I don't recall for sure) purposely helmeted Lance Dunbar's knee and put him out for the year? He almost got Murray in that same game.
people in the booth called it a pick and various articles as well. Every team picks, just don't get caught. Edelman jacked up DRC on a possible pick/legal block but I do agree with you, just a solid football play, just like Welker's block/pick/obstruction and he wasn't flagged.
He was not trying to hurt Talib and that is my bottom line especially when you are MUCH smaller than that player. And Belecheat whines about it but when you accuse him and his team of playing dirty he gets angry and say it is just football. Great coach but as classless as they come when he is criticized.
I don't think Welker tried to hurt Talib, he did performed an illegal pick to an unsuspecting defensive back.
Yes,most if not all teams run pick plays. Denver is just better at it and does it much more often. Typically, they aren't the variety to injure another player, bc this was a longer devleloping one and the corner was running full speed.
The Edelman block is not a pick. Do you understand what a pick is? A pick is not made after a completion is made. There is a big difference; one is legal, one isnt.
