Gronkowski’s knee is … sigh, who knows? Gronk’s health status has become the great existential quandary of the New England area; if Henry David Thoreau were alive today, he would not go journaling transcendentally on some lake, but would devote his time to studying orthopedics and parsing the meaning of Bill Belichick’s mumbles instead. The Patriots did not bother signing a free-agent tight end or pursuing a Jace Amaro-caliber rookie, even as a backup, so they are either satisfied with Gronk’s recovery or have evolved beyond the “defeat you with awesome tight ends” stage in their development into higher beings. Patriots fans can lie sleepless all summer worrying they are halfway in between.

Probably the value of pace and just how quickly offenses can execute. There’s a delicate balance at times with it though, and knowing when to put the peddle down and when to let off is probably one of the biggest challenges to running the no-huddle.

Obviously, you need the personnel with the versatility and smarts to all get on the same page with the quarterback. Garoppolo seems representative of the kind of quarterback a team would look to continue this pace of offense. 

Some teams might be moving to more mobile quarterbacks, but what we can read from the Patriots is that they want a smart quarterback who can make the right throws and make them quickly.

The much-maligned “dink-and-dunk” is really an artform and impossible to stop when it’s executed at no-huddle pace. 

who do you think has given brady more trouble: the ravens or the jets

By virtue of their two playoff defeats of the Pats I’d have to go with the Ravens. Both defenses consistently give Brady problems. They both do a good job at disguising their coverages and generating consistent pass rush. In simplest terms, they’re the two defenses that make Brady “think” the most. Sometimes he’s on and he torches them, but other times he struggles to find a consistent rhythm.

“He’ll definitely be on the field this season,” Candelaria said. “There’s no reason why he wouldn’t be able to start right away. It depends how they want to bring him along. The Patriots do things the right way. “He’s functional to the point where if he had to play a football game today, he can. He’s definitely ready to go.”
