Rob Gronkowski “Head Strong” (by HomelessStokes)

Linebacker Bobby Carpenter was a security blanket for the Lions over the last two seasons, lining up at various spots in a backup/spot-starter role and showing a knack for grasping varied assignments. For a team like the Patriots, which liberally rotates its packages, Carpenter’s combination of athleticism and mental aptitude was appealing at a manageable cost.

Are people starting to get “Gronked” out?
I found it funny this morning that both Mike Reiss and Greg Bedard had something to say to Gronk in their Sunday posts this week.
From Reiss:
Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who told students at the University of Rhode Island that his injured ankle will be 100 percent within two weeks, is a likeable guy who clearly enjoys what he’s doing. But has anyone else had the thought that it might be smart for him to cut back on some of the off-field stuff that doesn’t always paint him in a favorable light?
From Bedard:
Hey, Rob Gronkowski, you know we love you and your goofy antics. We know you don’t have a malicious bone in your body. But there’s such a thing as overexposure, and you’re right up against it. Time to chill out and lie low, bro.
The biggest problem is that Gronk doesn’t really seem to have a filter, and not a whole lot of thought goes into everything that comes out of his piehole. I love Gronk as much as any Patriots fan, but Mike and Greg are right, he’s teetering on the edge with some of his comments and it’s only a matter of time until something he says really sparks off the kind of negative attention neither he nor the Pats want.

The Patriots were indeed prepared to move on without Dan Koppen at center, it’s just that he got next to no interest on the free agent market. It’s not just the leg injury Koppen is coming off, either. Koppen’s tape wasn’t great, according to two league sources. His play slipped in 2010, and he didn’t have a very good training camp.
Expect Koppen’s situation to be like Matt Light’s – a two-year contract that is in reality a one-year deal, unless someone suffers a big injury – without a definite starting job. Koppen is smart and tough, so he’ll bring peace of mind at least as a backup. But center is Dan Connolly’s to lose.
