With Ben Watson maybe out for the game (I heard he's 50/50), will Welker again be Brady's possession receiver?

I didn't say anything about "shutdown"...I just saw that the Colts currently have the league's No. 1 pass D.
My guess is that the Colts focus on Moss and Welker gets some nice looks. I am guessing an under of 40 for the game...

IIRC, Washington was #4 going into last week.

bottomline this is gonna be a high scoring game. start your pats, start your colts and hope for the best
Of course the Colts have a little better offense which may help keep the defense off the field.

Part of why they are the number one passing D is that they have only played one team that can pass well: New Orleans. New Orleans started off terribly. They have faced Tennessee, Jax (in the game got hurt), the Testaverde led Panthers, the Texans, Tampa and Denver. Welker is going to do very well.

I'm usually not a huge fan of the "look who they played" theory of explaining away stats, but in this case I do believe Indy's high pass D rank to be a specious number based on their competition.The only non-horrible passing teams they have played are Tampa & Denver.Granted, their D is improved and I'm glad I grabbed them off the wire early season, but I have had the Saints stashed on my roster with the express purpose of this week & next for Indy.Tanner9919

I'm seeing a trend with Indy that says the opposing TE gets a lot of action.Owen Daniels was 7-56 against Indy, while Eric Johnson was 8-57 on opening night..with the DB's playing a soft cover two to prevent the deep pass plays, the guys working the underneath routes figure to see a lot of action..it wouldn't shock me to see Ben Watson or Welker lead the team in receptions this weekend..either one could have a HUGE game..every single team has tried to stop Moss and Stallworth from running the deep routes, and the Pats have obliterated that..they smoked the Redskins seemingly good pass defense last week, and they'll likely do the same to the Colts on Sunday..a sneaky play is Kyle Brady..I'm usually not a huge fan of the "look who they played" theory of explaining away stats, but in this case I do believe Indy's high pass D rank to be a specious number based on their competition.The only non-horrible passing teams they have played are Tampa & Denver.Granted, their D is improved and I'm glad I grabbed them off the wire early season, but I have had the Saints stashed on my roster with the express purpose of this week & next for Indy.
