Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Tremaine Edmunds size (6'5 250lbs) and speed will likely be the best matchup the Bills have ever had to slow down Gronk (6'6 262) in games vs the Pats. I wonder if Edmunds has already started watching film on Gronk to prepare to cover him this season. 3
RoyBatty is alive Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 It could be a brilliant matchup, I am just afraid Gronk doesn't have a lot left in the tank and Edmunds has incredible potential and talent but is very young and green. By the time Edmunds is "ready" Gronk may be on serious decline/gone. 1

By the time Edmunds is "ready" Gronk may be on serious decline/gone. Expand I agree with this. I dont think there will be any validation as to if Edmunds could handle Gronk in his prime. Gronk still may prove a tough task for Edmunds this season but after this season Gronk is on his downward spiral.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 I liked how Tre White did against Gronk last season. 2

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Miles Jack and Barry Church did a nice job on him in the playoffs 1
Roundybout Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 I also have a weird feeling about the guy Miami took, Mike Gesicki. He could be a threat to watch out for. 2

I'm Spartacus Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Watch out for the savvy veteran Gronk though. He will be using his Transformer-like arm brace to rake & jab like a gladiator, at the inexperienced Edmunds! 1

Expand NE has owned the Bills by creating and exploiting match ups for so long I can't remember. I give the Beane/McDermott regime high marks for making the moves to address this long standing problem. Edmunds and other players they've added look to have the physical and mental make up to finally level the playing field.
Peace Frog Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 If, on the Monday night game, Tre-D wraps up Gronk and Tre-M comes flying in to land a body crushing, soul dislodging, bones in the stool-type tackle, rendering Gronk finished for the season, I would just be devastated. ? 1
Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 I can see a tackle from Edmunds that does in Gronks back. And I mean a clean tackle

Just cried like a big retarded baby.

Expand Edmunds is inexperienced but has relatives who played who have told him about the dirty tricks some players use in NFL and may have taught him a few to use.
Original Byrd Man Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Right now coverage is the part of his game that is already fine tuned. It's the run support that needs tp grow. Edited June 20, 2018 by Original Byrd Man 1
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Gronk is on the downside but I still don’t want a rookie LB matched up on him one on one too often.
Augie Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Gronk will have too push off someone closer to his own size.

By the time Edmunds is "ready" Gronk may be on serious decline/gone. Expand so what T E should grind his bones into the turf. Stand him up and hold him while T White comes barreling down and cleaves his head clean off , helmet and all. I can see it and Gronkowski's surprised look rolling over to Bellicheats feet. Then he can go after Brady. On 6/20/2018 at 4:52 PM, Johnny Hammersticks said: I liked how Tre White did against Gronk last season. Expand YEP !
