Target Practice: Who has been Tom Brady’s favorite receiver through six games? 10.19.11 at 12:57 pm ET
By

Targets have been compiled by the NFL since the start of the 2009 season, and while it remains an imperfect stat — a badly thrown ball from a quarterback can often go against the record of the receiver as opposed to the quarterback — it remains a good indication of the confidence level a passer might have in his pass catcher. After six weeks, here’s a look at the target breakdown in the New England passing game for the 2011 season:

BenJarvus Green-Ellis: 4 catches on 5 targets (80 percent)
Rob Gronkowski: 29 catches on 38 targets (76 percent)
Danny Woodhead: 8 catches on 11 targets (73 percent)
Wes Welker: 51 catches on 75 targets (68 percent)
Deion Branch: 26 catches on 39 targets (67 percent)
Aaron Hernandez: 27 catches on 41 targets (66 percent)
Stevan Ridley: 2 catches on 3 targets (66 percent)
Chad Ochocinco: 9 catches on 15 targets (60 percent)
Julian Edelman: 3 catches on 6 targets (50 percent)
Matthew Slater: 1 catch on 3 targets (33 percent)
Dane Fletcher: 0 catches on 1 target (0 percent)
TOTAL: 160 catches on 237 targets (68 percent)

By position:
Running back: 14 catches on 19 targets (74 percent)
Tight end: 56 catches on 79 targets (71 percent)
Wide receiver: 90 catches on 138 targets (65 percent)
Other: 0 catches on 1 target (0 percent)

    Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. But just imagine if you added some great graphics or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this website could certainly be one of the greatest in its field. Terrific blog!

    Do you have an older model laptop? If so, most older models have overheating issues. They have several built-in fans to disperse heat away from the CPU (processor).
