I can confirm DRS made that postI'm going to need E5 to confirm this, but sounds promising.
Are you suggesting they carry their own luggage?Traveling light, and not much of a grip on the bag at that.
You always see video of Tom walking in with a couple of bags. Maybe that’s just for a regular game though. They are in Minny for a while, so someone else carries their stuff. OK already.Are you suggesting they carry their own luggage?
This was good.That’s not his stuff, per se, as it’s the other team’s playbook.
Decent Gronk article, but the above is just tough to swallow and really frustrating/annoying. How is it that the above behavior is somehow deemed acceptable or, at minimum, constantly ignored. Just because a guy is a physical freak of nature shouldn't allow opponents to break the rules to try and contain him. Oh well... Hoping the big fella stays healthy and gives us 5+ more years. He's just so fun to watch.But over time, it has become clear that Gronkowski's greatest strength might also be his biggest liability. Like Shaquille O'Neal early in his prime, Gronkowski is such a nimble giant, defenders almost have to grab him, or smack him around, just to slow him down. If you watch tape throughout the course of this season -- and his career -- you'll consistently see examples of players doing everything they can to surreptitiously yank on his jersey, grab an arm, or bump him off his route beyond five yards.
MinneaNapolis?How do you get a baseline test on this guy?
I hope "where are you" is not one of the concussion questions.MinneaNapolis?
He thinks the twin cities are Minny an’ Annapolis.I hope "where are you" is not one of the concussion questions.
They have a small naval academy there...He thinks the twin cities are Minny an’ Annapolis.
Makes sense, there’s like 800 lakes in Minnesota.They have a small naval academy there...
Yeah, but they’re all mini-lakes.Makes sense, there’s like 800 lakes in Minnesota.
11,842, actually.Makes sense, there’s like 800 lakes in Minnesota.
Blue slacks and brown kicks. He'll never make GQ.Ruined a great outfit with old crusty shoes. WNB
A small interesting nugget in that table: the Pats had the league's smaller (by far) delta between QBR of passes to WR and TE/RBs:Gronk makes a big difference vs. the Eagles. They are bad at covering TEs:

If Gronk plays, Philly is doomed. http://53eig.ht/2DNox8a
Check out my post on page 2 of this thread - entire protocol is there, and summarised for easy reading.What exactly does it mean to be in the protocol. Is there a test he needs to pass once and then he's cleared?
They asked Bill if he was still in protocol and he said yesSo that leaves me confused as to whether he’s actually out of protocol or not.
Exactly how Bill wants it.
Wrong thread for my comment, but while it is great that everybody is focused on Gronk, I wish the media would exercise the same diligence on Wise as he will be needed for the pass rush.They asked Bill if he was still in protocol and he said yes
Edit - He first said he was limited in practice and then said Yes to the question about protocol.
I’m not sure what this means, we know he isn’t in step 5 yet and is a big question mark right now. If you think the coverage should be equal between Gronk and Wise Jr., I can’t say I agree.Wrong thread for my comment, but while it is great that everybody is focused on Gronk, I wish the media would exercise the same diligence on Wise as he will be needed for the pass rush.
Ok, thanks, I was unclear.They asked Bill if he was still in protocol and he said yes

Same coverage, no. Same question - i.e., did he take contact in practice today? - yes. I know Gronk is critical to the offense. There is only one Gronk. But I hope Wise can play, because he's one of those guys on the Pats D that might be a darkhorse to have a big game.
If the pass rush (Flowers x 2, KVN, Harrison, Wise) get into Foles' face on Sunday, that will go a long way toward the Pats winning.
Tried to edit this twice. Here's what I wanted to say:I’m not sure what this means, we know he isn’t in step 5 yet and is a big question mark right now. If you think the coverage should be equal between Gronk and Wise Jr., I can’t say I agree.
Ok, thanks, I was unclear.
Sure, but there has been reporting on this. Wise and Brown wore red non-contact today. Brown is apparently playing, but I would assume Wise is on shaky ground if he’s not yet to Step 5 and we’re four days out.Same coverage, no.

Thanks. In Australia we don't get blanket coverage, so I didn't see it. Plus, since it's daytime I am supposed to be getting things done...Sure, but there has been reporting on this.
