Gronk’s Biggest Gamble | The MMQB with Peter King
Gronk’s Biggest Gamble | The MMQB with Peter King
Really cool excerpt from Gronk’s book that will give you even more appreciation for what this guy went through just to get to the NFL, not to mention what he’s been through once he got there. Hard not to root for such a fun-loving guy who proves you can have fun without causing problems.
We pretty much knew Gronk would be an epic Patriot from the moment he put on the helmet after being drafted and started rocking out. If he can stay healthy the sky is the limit on his career and he just might go down as the best tight end ever.

Great big picture read from Greg Bedard. Oh how I miss his Patriots coverage…

Nice X-and-O bit in this one from the Pats’ regular season matchup with the Colts, specifically focusing on Jamie Collins’ recognition and adjustment that forced an interception on the other side of the field.
Thanks to @NotRon_Jaworski for sending this my way. And on a side note I really had no interest in seeing Batman vs. Superman until the real version of this new trailer. Wow. I’m in.

Why loss of Darrelle Revis, Brandon Browner affects Patriots offense – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN
Some tough quotes in here from Brandon LaFell speaking on how much Revis and Browner pushed the Pats’ receivers to be better every day in practice. And just when I thought I was over the sick feeling of letting two impactful players go. Still, over the years of 2009-2012 I often joked that the Pats’ offense must simply roll right over the Patriots’ bend-don’t-break defense in practice since the strengths and weaknesses of the two seemed to blatantly favor the offense.
The offense, designed to take whatever the defense gives them in the short-to-intermediate routes, while the defense was geared to allowing those short plays and not allowing the long ball, something the Pats haven’t exactly been deadly at in that time period. It’s always been an interesting philosophical dynamic to me.
Now it’s up to guys like LaFell and Edelman to return the favor to the cornerbacks on the roster, helping them the same way Revis and Browner helped the receivers last year. Iron sharpens iron. The shoe is just on the other foot this year.
