    Aaron adds all kinds of dimensions to our offense, but I think we'll be ok for a couple weeks without him.  Ocho will get to step up, might see more of the other Gronk.  We'll be ok.

    I knew we should have drafted a TE this year.

    Bill usually does every year.  I dont think Dan Gronk is that good, and looks too slim to be a great blocker.....maybe we change philosophy some, but Pats like their 2 TE sets to keep the defense in base.

    Is Alge healthy yet?

    Honestly Bill must be slipping. This may well be the first time we have a timely status on a player. We know what the injury is and how long the guy might be out. Usually their taking the body out the back as BB tell's us the "player" is day to day.

    As could be expected, the estimated 1-2 weeks has now been stretched to 6 weeks.  I assume that the MRI results were in and gave a  more accurate assessment than the clinical exam.  I heard this at Sports Net Central this evening.

    We have Dan Gronk.  No problem.  Work him into the rotation.  He'll be a beast like his bro.

    To replace his production, I'd think they'd try to run it more. See what Ridley can do. Activate Vareen, and let him catch some passes out of the backfield...he's got very good hands and speed. Ocho should be out there more; and you'd love to see Price get a chance now. I could see Edelman catching some easy passes, but will that take Welker out of the equation? Plus you know he'll look good for a half and then get injured.

    The problem is that the offense is built around these two guys (Gronk and Hernandez) and it's obviously been working. Can they switch it up with some really good players that haven't got out there yet and not miss a beat?

    Agreed the the other Gronkowski earn his coin and lets run it. Solder was a formidable TE in the Chargers game.

    Give him as long as it takes to heal. The Bruiser Gronkowski Brothers will step up...

    This s ucks...I kind of figured that, and 2 weeks is not that bad, but I hope he takes his time.  Mayo came back 2 years ago a little early from his MCL sprain and didnt look the same all season. He needs to get it healed totally, which is more like 3 to 4 weeks usually, but def. a sigh of relief. Now whats up w/Ras I?
    Posted by JayShizzle45



    jay you are totally right and ive posted same elsewhere. if youve strained knee ligaments you know. there is also degrees in severity which will determine everything. id err very conservative and make sure hes fully healed so we dont lose him for the season, esp with guys aiming at the knee when he comes back.

    by the way, tonight ive seen several pats news sites now say 4-6 weeks

    They will just switch up the game plan a bit, Im sure it will be fine. But it is a blow and its also a bad sign, this is becoming a trend for Herandez, I mean if he ever going to stay healthy for 16 games with the way he plays? You know taking big shots and what not cause he is a big player. I know its still too early in his career to complain im just saying I hope he gets a strength and conditioning routine down and gets this injury bug out of his system.
    Posted by MVPkilla4life

    mvp, this is typing so i'm gonna try to give you context ahead of time. this is not an attack, but a question. did you play ball? i dont think this is an "injury bug". someone jumps on your knee sideways youre gonna have a ligament strain. football is a brutal sport. sure there are wear down injuries and conditioning injuries (hamstring being my pet peeve-there should not be a hamstring strain in a conditioned athlete), but other injuries are just due to physical damage done and unpredictable.

    he'll be fine if they leave him out long enough to heal.
    fresher for the long season and playoffs
