Official 2022 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[Guts]

I don't think the 9ers would bring Fisherchick in, so Brady would be safe from that....

If TB plays next year I doubt it's the 49ers. They paid too much for Lance.

Back on topic though

Brady didn't practice due to his right shoulder

I thought Tom has Wednesdays off.

He's practiced every Wednesday the past two weeks

So he’s gonna be a Buc, saints/Giants won’t be contending by the time he’s ready

Much rather they get Gronk back.

Why not both?

Not enough money

I know I was joking. At this point it's clear Gronk is not coming back. I bet that injury last year reminded him why he retired the first time.

Unlike Kelce who gets treated like a WR, Gronk gets treated like Shaq and gets hammered and defenders are allowed to commit holding and PI almost every possession.

Can't blame the dude for being done with the sport

Tampa really needs to help Tom and Gisele reconcile

Gronk looked to punish defenders and never learned how to avoid or absorb hits properly.

Gronk had bad luck on a ST play, and he had defensive players targeting his knees because he was too big for them to take down by going any higher.

Neither of those has anything to do with learning to avoid or absorb hits properly.

I guess OBJ is taking a close look at the Rams and going “yeah I’m good...”

I don't really see how he fits with the Bucs, though, unless everyone's banking on injuries continuing to happen all season long.

Yeah that’s a safe bet with the Bucs and their bonesaw strength and conditioning team.

All big guys get taken down that way. I was actually thinking of those shots to Gronk's knees when I mentioned that. I noticed that he'd allow his plant leg to get hit. I also remember him trying to dive over defenders, one time coming down so awkwardly that I thought he broke his neck.

You can't prevent your plant leg getting hit. It's literally impossible.

Obj is probably a very cheap signing(a mil perhaps) and there's probably only about 5 teams he'd consider playing for. So if he comes knocking on the door Bucs may say no but Brady will say yes.

 

[RicoG]

With all the receivers coming back and getting healthy, was Beasley going to get cut or put in the practice squad? So he retired instead.
