Guess who hasn’t looked so great this preseason, bruh…

I really wonder if the lack of a veteran leader like Alge Crumpler is going to retard Gronk’s growth. Seems like he’s had more than his share of mental errors this preseason, despite reports that he was uncoverable early in camp.

Here’s some mention of his play from Bedard in the Globe.

On a big third-and-1 play at the Detroit 14 on the final play of the first quarter, either Vollmer or Gronkowski blocked the wrong player because they both allowed Tulloch to get in free and take Green-Ellis down for no gain. …. When Woodhead was taken down for a 3-yard loss, it was just a completely blown play by someone. Best guess is Gronkowski. Looks like he was running the wrong play. If he hit Williams on a wham block, Woodhead has a nice gainer.
