Tape Never Lies: Difficulties defending Patriots’ Gronk & Hernando

Another great article from Alen Dumonjic about just how effective Gronk and Hernando are. The truth is that while it hurts to lose Hernando for however long, losing Gronk would have a far greater effect on the offense. He’s really the hub of what they do, and while Hernando is a great weapon whoever takes his snaps will benefit just as much from Gronk.

This is really a buzz kill that we’re not going to see this for a few weeks. Please be back by the Jets game. Please be back by the Jets game…

According to various reports it looks like Hernando could be out anywhere from 1 to 6 weeks with a sprained MCL. That puts his return somewhere between next week at Oakland and October 30th in Pittsburgh.

While MCL sprains aren’t a huge deal they can linger. Jerod Mayo was only out three weeks in 2009 but he never looked like he fully recovered all his speed until the following season. Let’s hope Hernando’s is even less of a big deal than Mayo’s was, but even he’s just out this weekend it’s a bummer because it’s a definite blow to the Blitzkrieg offense.

Time for Chad, Price and Edelman to step up.

NFP/Bowen: Is there a game plan to stop Brady and the Patriots?

NFP/Bowen: Is there a game plan to stop Brady and the Patriots?

Matt Bowen isn’t sure how to stop the Patriots offense, spefically Gronk and Hernando.

So, how do you handle this? Working against Hernandez, I would go with a FS (with cover skills) or a nickel corner. Aren’t many strong safeties that are going to match him athletically and a LB isn’t going to cut it. With Gronkowski? Have to get hands on him at the line of scrimmage or play with a Mike Backer in Cover 2 that can run—and hit down the field. But again, I’m reaching here for an answer.

Well it wasn’t pretty but a win is a win, especially against a quality AFC opponent.  The offense was clutch when they needed to ice the game, you can’t say enough about that.  They held up their end of the bargain. The defense sure looked like it looked last year in the good ways (turnovers) and the bad ways (zero pressure, completion after completion). And the third down defense was epically bad, statistically worse than any game last year. But a win is a win.
