“It’s been a great privilege to coach Tom for the last 15 years, 14 years as starting quarterback. We have a great relationship. We meet on a regular basis weekly several times. I can’t think of a more deserving player than Tom to be the recipient of the accolades that he has this week, and particularly last night and today here. He’s our leader. He competes as well as any player I’ve ever coached. He’s well-prepared. He has great poise and great presence. He may not always be perfect, as it is for any of us. We all have our moments, but Tom, like many other players on our team, is the guy that fights to the end and competes until the end. There’s no player I respect more for that than Tom. That’s been a great pillar of strength for our football team for the past decade and a half. I sincerely appreciate that.” – Bill Belichick

… I think generally speaking, this is how it’s been described to me: You want to know Tom Brady‘s mindset going into this, think the Tom Brady who is chewing out teammates on the sideline. In the middle of the game who is yelling at people, cursing, screaming, that Tom Brady, that is the Tom Brady we’re going to get here in today’s hearing and moving forward, whatever course that is. I think that Tom Brady is absolutely willing and determined to fight this, to see this through.

“He doesn’t believe he did anything wrong. I believe that this is on path to go to the courts. If it goes to the courts, they are questioning the process, not what he did, but the process by which this was done and I think at that point in time he has a chance to have this completely lifted, not serve any games. And if that is the case, why would he not attempt to at least do that?”

Assuming Scott chandler makes the roster, what do you think the similarities and differences in the two tightend offense being compared to when Hernandez played

by

The physical differences between Chandler and Hernandez are obvious – about six inches and 30 pounds. While Chandler isn’t the blocker Gronk is, despite his size, but he’s still going to be more effective than Hernandez was.

You won’t have the same versatility they had with Hernandez, who even took running back snaps and was deadly in the open field, but in the red zone it’s literally a monumental task to cover two tight ends who are over 6′6″ and that’s assuming they aren’t running at you to block.

Simply, I think the Gronk/Chandler combo will be the more physical one, with a better threat of having both block in the running game. So that should give the Patriots a little better time dictating matchups, because with Hernandez you didn’t necessarily have to respect him as a blocker because he was the same size as most of your linebackers.

Chandler might not be a devastating blocker, but he’ll have a size advantage over just about anyone you try to put in his way.
