Peace Frog Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 If not, who? I'm sick to the point of throwing up my kidneys of Gronkowski always having his way with our team. It has to stop. How do you take Gronk out of the game?
ALF Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) It would take a Kam Chancellor type player to cover Gronk. Find a tall LB that is fast enough to stay with him and don't forget Chandler . The need for tall , fast DBs who can play 1 on 1 is in scarce supply. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bs-sp-ravens-gronkowski-0109-20150108-story.html Edited September 12, 2015 by ALF
EmotionallyUnstable Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 When he is in the slot, I'd like to see bradham over him with safety help over the top. If he is lined up wide, Gilmore. Our best bet from keeping him out of the game is by getting to Brady quick from the side not attended by gronk. This will force Brady to look away from him
Best Player Available Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 get a huge amount of a laxative into his pre game meal. That's all i have.
BillsFanNC Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 We also finally have a TE that should cause match up problems for our opponents. F Gronk.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I would have Gilmore shadow him all game. Kinda what Antoine Winfield would do occasionally to some star TEs for us.
BucketList Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Pull his pants down at the line of scrimmage

26CornerBlitz Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Beat Luck and worry about it next week.
K D Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 i think Bradham can cover him. Bradham is super athletic and has long arms. Lawson too. I think we should have Bradham on him at the line and then safety help over top. all of NE's pass plays are 3 step quick throws. the corners need to jam the receivers at the line and not let them release. there's nothing more frustrating to me than seeing a CB 10 yards off a receiver and then the receiver just gets the ball on a quick 8 yard hitter. easy yards and we can't let them do that against us
Stads Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Give him some glow sticks and pump in some house music through the speakers?
DC Greg Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 He's always going to have some success. Can't shut him down completely. Have to double him, but in creative ways. Some defenses will do things like match him up man to man with a linebacker, but then the linebacker peels off at 5-10 yards and goes into a zone. Then a safety, who played zone off the snap, comes up to fill in the man coverage. That can create a risky window during the trade off, but it can also bait throws that look open, but have a robber coming in to pick or break up the pass. What worked once will generally not work all game though, so there have to be multiple plans of attack and adjustments in the bag ready to be pulled out on the fly. I'm hoping to see those type of adjustments this year and see that Rex is the guy who can do those things, take away other team's strength's to make them have to adjust, etc.
CNY315 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Rex & Thurman might know something. He didn't do much against the Jets in either game last year
Virgil Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Both of our safeties are converted from corner. I'd stick Aaron Williams on him all day and just play a single deep safety.
snafu Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Rex & Thurman might know something. He didn't do much against the Jets in either game last year Career vs. Jets. Looks like Rex's defense kept him out of the end zone pretty well. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GronRo00/gamelog/?opp_id=nyj
