HD Article

The biggest issue I saw with HD during the couple of games I attended last season was a general lack of awareness to work back to Ryan whenever a play broke down. For the most part, HD would run his route and then just stand there. Sometimes, he would get flattened by a defender going after the ball because he himself had no idea where the ball was.

Other than that, I really don't recall seeing HD last season unless he was dropping balls.

Welker, BTW, is a master at anticipating where his QB needs him to be when he is under duress. Hopefully, a fully healed HD will be able to better focus on and improve this part of his game next year.
