Re: covering Gronkowski
you can't simply cover Gronkwski without worrying about Welker and Hernandez. If you want them covered, you pressure Brady all day and hit him several times.Last edited by justasportsfan; 01-18-2012, 10:05 AM.

Originally posted by ThunderGunI still can't believe they drafted Troup over him...
lets give troup some time. he was having a great offseason after a decent rookie year( a better rookie year than cody and joseph... hes very very strong and big, with solid technique. im confident he can make a big difference against the run next year.

Re: covering Gronkowski
Find a freakish 6-5 safety at some point in the draft like Robert Sands. Work his ass on coverage drills non stop. Put him at safety when Gronk is in and have Wilson shadow Hernandez and have Welker be guarded by Williams/Rodgers. If you work on one freakishly big safety that every draft usually has a couple of in the later rounds. And work on him non stop individually to cover tight ends then we will have pretty much a player we developed to cover TEs. Eventually its going to get to a time where you will get a new position on defense just to cover TEs.Not here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions

Re: covering Gronkowski
I am not sure he is coverable. Brady throws him the ball when is is blanketed and he sticks those big mitts in the air and catches the ball. There has been a huge movement to these giant athletic TE's that the Bills seem to don't think is worth while. But that movement has been for a simple reason, those guys produce very difficult matchups for the defense. I assume you will start to see taller Safeties as time goes on. So to the OP's point, I think the anser is yes but I am not sure that guy is available right now.

Best TE in the leauge right now, you need to double Him and take away the middle of the field, that is the way you beat the Pats. Not an easy thing to do, that is what the Jets did last season.
