How to Cover Wes Welker

[Wandering Athol]

Never really thought about it, but are there any rules protecting receivers away from the play once the ball's been released?

[Bradys Bunch]

Welker is clearly impeding the two giant defenders from making out

I dunno, hey Polian, get on this ASAP!!!! :evil:

No, I don't think there are rules that protect receivers away from the ball, other than unnecessary roughness. IIRC, this was one of the ways the Pats shut down the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI - hit them when they have the ball, and hit them when they don't.
