All I can say is Robbie is dying to play. He wants to get out there,” said Diane Gronkowski, mother of the Patriots’ tight end. “He’s doing what he has to do to get back playing. He doesn’t like it. He wants to play. It really bothers him that he’s not playing.

I just want to make clear, because I know the media has a job to do, our first concern is his health and safety and doing what’s in his best interest long-term. And he’s the only one who can decide when he’s ready to play and we’re completely behind whatever his decision is. Obviously all of us would like him to come as soon as possible, but we’re not going to let our short-term desire impede what’s right for the long-term.

Quick-hit thoughts around NFL & Patriots – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston
When linebacker Brandon Spikes plays like he did last Sunday by charging downhill against the run and bringing a physical edge, he’s one of the most enjoyable defenders to watch in recent Patriots memory. The issues with Spikes, which have cropped up at times over the past three years, are more in coverage. This reflects how the coaching staff has mostly utilized Spikes in 2013, playing him primarily in the base defense and taking him off the field in the majority of sub packages. So with Spikes entering the final year of his contract, the possibility of him staying in New England past this season probably hinges on whether another team views him as more than a two-down type player, and is willing to pay him accordingly.

The NFL is going to start compelling teams to participate in the HBO training camp reality series “Hard Knocks” if teams don’t start stepping up to the plate, but Bill Belichick and the Patriots shouldn’t be too worried. The NFL included enough corollaries in its new rule that the Patriots likely won’t be on the show any time soon. Teams would be exempt from being compelled to be on the show if: they made the playoffs in any of the past two seasons; have a new head coach; or participated in the series over the past 10 years.
