2010....seems like a long time ago.
Isn't that the last time Gronk played in all 16? Sure wish he was a rookie again.

Because short shifty white guys don't work here? Just you waitI say BS.
Reiss has no shot. Way too small even for slot receiver. Makes Woodhead look like Wilfork.

What a story that would be, eh? Fans started off obsessing about replacing Hernandez in the draft, then when it became clear that the draft cupboard was bare of joker TEs switched to obsessing about phantom options like Rob Housler and a younger version of Owen Daniels, then gradally shifted gears to "McDaniels doesn't use the joker position, it's all about a Gronk backup"...then here comes a joker TE who nobody considered at all.

A little bit of analysis of Wright's route running:

He played 16 in 2011..then the injury bug hit.Isn't that the last time Gronk played in all 16? Sure wish he was a rookie again.
Above all, Tim Wright is a learner. Ask P.J. Fleck, who coached wide receivers at Rutgers from 2010-11.
Fleck, now the head man at Western Michigan, recalls Wright beating out Mark Harrison for the No. 2 receiver job opposite Mohamed Sanu in 2010. Then Wright tore his ACL. Other receivers, including Harrison, emerged. When Wright returned in 2011, with Rutgers loaded at wideout, the coaching staff experimented.
“He made sure he was on the field,” Fleck said. “We just didn’t know where to put him.”
They tried tight end. For a few weeks, they even tried him outside linebacker.
“Shoot, he was a Wildcat quarterback,” Fleck said.
Like on the scout team?
“No," Fleck said. "We were actually considering playing him there. ... Because he was used to doing so many things, he learned faster than probably anyone else.”
Block of text.
So basically what you're saying is if he can get faster than he will be better than he currently is.
Thanks for that wisdom.
IMO he just needs to learn the playbook QUICK and get on the same page as Brady. He will be a stud in our offense if he can adjust to Belichicks coaching style
