Mark Daniels: Gronk, Solder, and Jonathan Cooper are not on flight to AZ

[Marqui]

Popped by the F&M show and Jay Stew said his "sources" told him Gronk isn't playing. Yet earlier today Gronk tweeted he was excited to get to AZ.

Who the hell knows right now...

Was it the same sources that told him they were trading for Jason McCourty?

Expecting a new rule Saturday that you can't play unless you fly on the team flight.

Might have been SharksofVegas..

So who had our starting tackles as Cannon and Fleming/Waddle? What could go wrong?

 

[Deus Irae]

I believe it was just last season that Ninkovich played a game after not traveling with the team. But....

 

[Deus Irae]

Just to get the ball rolling for the less optimistic....

 

[Mike the Brit]

Exactly.
Without the OL protection and Gronk as an outlet, BB should sit Brady and play Garapollo.

Winner!

We need a Sad or Crying rating, because I want to dislike this but I don't want to dislike the poster

Make it happen @Ian!

Solder... To throw off their game plan and matchup they had planned with him and Chandler Jones?

Cooper... To throw off what they know about him, and their plan for him, and potentially cause them to have to prepare for another player they don't have inside info on.

And Gronk, well we all know what not having him would do towards a defenses game plan.

Lets just pray Belichick is playing games to the hard core. Using everything he's got.

I don't think belichick has ever done this, has he?

 

[JMC00]

Been almost 2 hours and still no 2nd independent report. People are just quoting Daniels report

I don't think belichick has ever done this, has he?

Belichick also has never been without his QB for 4 games because of a frame job

 

[BlueThunder]

Thank God Tom isn't under center.....No left side protection and No Gronk = bad news.......No Cooper just adds salt to the wound.

 

[Ross12]

Would anyone really be that shocked if BB just took it really easy, rested the important guys and didn't overextend the team on the road against a good Arizona team? Then rally everyone for three easier games?

Gronk is road-trippin' it in the van with his family. Trainers prescribed a liberal beer massage for that hamstring.

"Extra day of treatment for a late Sunday night game" is too far out of bounds for you?

Shoot. Maybe skip this one. Mario cart with the nephews instead. That oline will get JG killed.

 

[NG Pats Fan]

People will see just how average our offense without Gronk is. A banged up Edelman and then a bunch of mediocre WRs won't get open against this vaunted cardinals secondary

We need to go after a star Wr that can help carry this offense when gronk is injured
