"Wes Welker accepted the news of his NFL record with a modest shrug and predictable platitudes after the Patriots’ 20-10 victory yesterday over the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium. Welker made 10 catches for 107 yards to become the first player in NFL history to have six or more catches in the first nine games of a season. He entered the game tied with Jimmy Smith, who set the mark with Jacksonville in 2001. Dating back to last season, Welker has six or more catches in 13 straight games. “I don’t pay much attention to it, I’m just out there trying to play winning football and move the chains and things like that,” Welker said. But Welker became unusually animated when asked about the two ..."

"It didn’t take Tom Brady and Wes Welker long to click, finding that special chemistry and rhythm between a quarterback and a receiver. All Welker did last season was set a franchise record with 112 catches. One might think with a new quarterback, and a more conservative game plan, Welker’s production might dip a bit this season. Only, he hasn’t lost a beat with Matt Cassel. In fact, with his 56 receptions, Welker’s on pace to tie his franchise record. Cassel said the two have done nothing out of the ordinary to build their own chemistry. “I just tell him to get open, and I try to throw him the ball,” Cassel said. “He does a great job and he continues to work hard. He is definitely a ..."

"When wide receiver Greg Camarillo started his search for a new pad in South Florida upon signing with the Dolphins last season, he heard about a former player who was trying to rent out his place in Plantation. It seemed like a natural fit. ''There was a No. 83 jersey framed on the wall, ready for me when I got there,'' said Camarillo, who had chosen that same number in Miami. ``I would have just needed to cover up the name.'' The name on the jersey -- and the name on the deed -- was ''Welker.'' Yes, Wes Welker, a Dolphins receiver from 2004 to '06 who has since become a household name in the NFL after breaking the all-time New England single-season reception record. Camarillo decided ..."

"Wes Welker has experienced many of the variables a player deals with in an NFL training camp. Feeling rusty and out of sync has never been one of them. Welker was officially removed from the physically unable to perform squad yesterday, and he actively participated in game situation drills in the Dana-Farber Fieldhouse adjacent to Gillette Stadium. Welker missed all of the team’s spring practices and the first eight days of camp because of a groin injury. It was the first time in Welker’s career, at any level, that he missed the start of a training camp. “This is definitely a little different,” he said. “But you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do to make sure you put a good performance out ..."
