Rob Gronkowski: Epic from Moment One as a Patriot
It was pretty clear this was the start of a beautiful relationship from the moment Gronk donned the Pats helmet and rocked out to the boos being reigned down upon him by the Pats haters.

He practices hard, he loves to play football. Whatever you ask him to do he’ll do his very best at it. If you want him to run through a wall he’ll put his head down and run through it.

Deadspin: How Rex Ryan created the new look Patriots
Interesting article here from Chris Brown who runs the great site SmartFootball.com. I get what he’s trying to say however I don’t think BB drafted Gronk and Hernando because of the Jets. BB has always had a healthy obsession with tight end drafting, and the fact that both players fell to where the Pats could pounce was a coincidence of need and availability.
The real way that Rex helped shaped the current Pats offense is more reflected in the move to trade Randy Moss in the middle of last year and bring back Deion Branch. To beat the Jets defense you need guys like Branch who are smart, can get open quickly and have the total trust of Tom Brady.
A player who’s only real skill is getting deep can easily be eliminated by a good cover corner like Revis or even Cromartie.
The Pats were 1-2 vs. the Rex Ryan Jets with Moss, they’re now 3-1 without him.
NFP/ Bowen: With Gronkowski, Patriots have matchup weapon
Great X and O stuff as always from Bowen.
I hope the Steelers have a plan to stop this guy. Well I really don’t, but they better try something because they had no answers for him last time.
