What's our other option at this point? Have Pullard or Emanuel try to cover Gronk???? That's infinitely worse.
I am not sure what the alternative is, but I am sure Bradley has something in mind. Gronk did have a TD against us last year but I don't think he had too big of a game stats wise or even big play wise.
Besides, I think the bigger threat is going to be White and Michel out of the backfield. Gronk may get one or two big ones (20+ yards) but those two can pepper you all game long with 7-10 yarders.Last edited by UtahBolt; 01-08-2019, 12:23 PM.I'll ride the wave...where it takes me.

Yeah, James is an invaluable "mobile chess piece", it's better to put a LB on Gronk if he's playing so-so. It he brings his typical A-game then I think we have to put Jenkins on him exclusively. Jenkins is our best 1-on-1 cover guy in the slot area, his cover skill and physical nature are similar to Jammer, except for Jammer can cover deep and Jenkins still risky there, still need to learn to turn the head and looking for the ball, or at least act like you're looking for the ball, so officials keep their flags in their pockets.
Jenkins is still a 1-trick pony, but is a great 1-trick pony. He's great at covering guy man-to-man inside those slot zones in the middle, erase TEs and slot receivers.Last edited by vinabolt; 01-08-2019, 01:25 PM.Follow me and my wife here: https://twitter.com/gossip_lady_se

1. Pressure Brady any how, any way, so he is not in rhythm.
2. Limit the dump off passes and YAC to the Pats RB committee.
3. 7's over 3's. Need TDs in this game.
And one more..... Don't let up, no matter what. AL needs to remind the players of the 28-3 deficit to the Falcons in the Super Bowl and the Pats comeback, how many come from behind wins Brady has in his career, and that Pats team is never dead until there is no time left on the clock, as long as TB12 is the qb.

This is a frustrating article, but there is some truth to it. We need change the course of this franchise's history.Last edited by Boltx; 01-08-2019, 08:21 PM.ESPN Screename: GoBolts02
