I think Tim Wright has a ton of potential in this offense and we just saw him scratch the surface on Sunday night. The Hernandez comparison is an easy one to make and the potency of a high-functioning two tight end offense is well documented.
The key as I see it is getting Gronk’s blocking back to 100 percent. That’s what made Gronk the ultimate tight end weapon and right now he’s still getting the power to block and sustain back. We’ve seen great strides from him the last couple weeks in the passing game – he’s running more comfortably, and doesn’t look aware of his knee or anything else. But watching him block, it’s not where it needs to be.
So get Gronk back blocking like he did in the old days and then you can phase out Hooman for Wright. I don’t know if they’ll be able to get to the same level of fast execution the 2011/2012 offense had, but they’ll present similar matchup problems for opposing defenses.
