Another good read with picture breakdowns, this time focusing on how Gronk and Hernandez are used and the matchup issues they present.

He came back in the game but also stayed in the game, he was back in for Brady's QB dive TD and was in every play thereafter - admittedly only about a dozen plays. He blocked for the run and went out into pass routes. Will be be a little slowed for the SB ? Maybe. Will be be at higher risk to re injure it during the SB ? Probably. But he will be playing barring a setback between now and then.He came back in the game shortly after leaving, he'll be fine.
This is honestly the most significant change the Pats have undergone since superbowl 42. These tight ends have changed the offensive philosophy that really killed the Patriots 4 years ago. With Randy Moss, etc plays took longer to develop which really played to the Giants strength in getting to Brady. This year, the short passing game is used much more effectively with Gronk, Hernandez and Welker. I think that this difference will definitely make it harder for the Giants defenders to get to Brady and minimize the pressure that he sees in the game. I think a lot of analysts have forgotten this when they compare the teams this year to the teams that played in superbowl 42. What do you guys think?
