Looking at the "How to stop Jimmy Graham" thread, not one poster suggested using Talib the way the Pats' did. And I'd lay money that if someone did, they'd get shouted down. BB kept it simple: he put his best pass defender on their best pass catcher.
But while shadowing a tight end with a cornerback may sound unconventional, it may also give the Patriots their best chance to slow Graham down, something no defense has been able to do thus far this season.
So did Hooman. I'm not sure which is more impressive
Yikes, did anyone see Logan Mankins' response to being asked about Gronk post-game. Interpret it how you want, but I thought it was really, really passive aggressive.
I think it's probably time for the Pats to take Gronk off the practice field. Clearly, practicing with the team is not speeding up his return to game action. And, if he's not going to play, it's silly to risk injury and take reps away from actual players for no reason at all. Put him on the bike or in the tub and see if they can't do something to get him healthy.
Correlation ≠ Causation. If practicing weren't in Gronk's best interests, then he wouldn't be.I think it's probably time for the Pats to take Gronk off the practice field.
