Was Wes Welker taking a shot at Rex Ryan?

Was it a coincidence, or just some expert wordplay? Patriots receiver Wes Welker dropped 11 references to “feet,” “toes” or “foot” during his roughly eight-minute session with the media on Thursday.

At first, the suggestion Welker was taking a shot at Rex Ryan and his well-publicized scandal seemed ridiculous, especially because each of his answers were a direction response to the questions that were asked. But Welker has a reputation as one of the funnier guys on the team, and the possibility of his taking a sneaky jab at Ryan with a play on words seems wholly possible.

The receiver spoke Jets corner Darrelle Revis has “great feet,” and that the Patriots were “good little foot soldiers” during the bye week. Welker added that every player has to focus on “putting their best foot forward” in the playoffs, and when it comes to younger players in the postseason, “you can’t just stick your toe in the water. You’ve got to jump right in.”

Here’s a look at some of the video:

    BEST. VIDEO. EVER.

    Seems like being clever is not something Rex Ryan or the Jets has the ability to do. Kudos to Welker for clearly making fun of Ryan’s fetish.

    Nice Job Wes….I think after the game is in hand all starters should walk barefoot on the sidelines.

  • Mike

    Cromartie was wrong. Welker is an a-hole, not Brady! I can’t wait til Rex Ryan and the J-E-T-S stomp a mudhole in these guys on Sunday.

    I think “Mike”, is actually Michelle Ryan.

  • Dave

    At least Wes wasn’t pussyfooting the issue.

    That’s quite a fairy-tale world you live in Mike. What color is the sky? Do the rivers run with chocolate? Here’s the j-e-t-s theme to help you feel at home:

    There was an old woman who lived in a shoe (Rex’s mistress)

    Had so many kids she didn’t know what to do (cuz Cromie got there first)

    She gave them some broth without any bread (Rex had the munchies)

    Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed. (on Sunday the 16th; to spare them the carnage and emotional scarring caused by the pulverizing of thier two daddies)

    R-I-P J-E-T-S

    Outstanding, Wes! J-E-S-T

  • James

    Thanks Wes! It’ll take them at least to Sunday night to figure out whether you were trash talking or not.

  • Al

    “F-E-E-T: Feet, Feet, Feet!”

  • Branden

    Welker is the MAN. Very nice play, sir.

    What do you guys think BB said to WW?? I guarantee you that BB had a good laugh, but it was probably alone & behind his office’s closed door. Wonder if he admonished Wes…Lots of people don’t know that BB actually has a great sense of humor.

    Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
