The rookie out of Dallas, played Gronk really well . So it is possible mix and match coverage on gronk and limit him.

For the record, I have absolutely no idea as to how effective Talib's coverage would be on Gronk, but I certainly see nothing wrong (or "silly" to quote a poster) about discussing the possible matchup.
DEN is obviously going to use him to try and take out a major player, and they sure as hell aren't going to put him on Edelman, so it seems like a distinct possibility.
I would be stunned if Denver had Talib shadow Gronkowski the whole game.
Were you stunned when he covered Hall of fame TE Tony Gonzalez the entire game, or TE Jimmy Graham in his prime? Again...this isn't exactly an idea I can take credit for, since there's been a ton of discussion on the topic already, including Simms/Nantz on Thursday night in the Dolphins game.
Gronkowski vs. Talib matchup crucial to Patriots' success against Broncos

Mail: How will the Broncos cover Rob Gronkowski?
I would be stunned if he shadowed him the whole game on an island, yes. Gronk will light that matchup up. He's not soft like glorified WRs like Gonzalez, like Jimmy Graham. He's big and physical, and will out-muscle Talib - which is what Talib's advantage is against bigger receivers normally.
I think it will be Ward with Trevathan helping when he's not blitzing. Will Talib end up on him sometimes? Probably, but it won't be their predominant coverage scheme.
Yeah, I really thought that Byron Jones was going to be our pick, particularly after moving on from Revis and Browner.
@manxman2601 was super high on him, and everything that I saw has led me to believe that DAL received a very good pick so far.
No. I'm not being absurd. You're being friggin ignorant.Yeah, right. I am quite sure there is no member of this forum even in Hardy's league in that regard. You're being absurd.
