For all the knocks on Cro recently, I reckon he is our best option for Gronkowski. Gronk beats you with strength and size rather than speed and Cro is the biggest guy we have there.
Gronk is physical as hell and Cro plays like a marshmallow and won't even tackle 5'8" 200lbs runningbacks, if we have Cro covering him all day Gronk goes for 150yds 3 TDs.
I agree.....A lot of Jets fans were chirping victory leading up to the Eagles game.....not much separates the Skins and Jets...very close game... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
What makes Gronk the best TE in football is he can block as good as he can catch and run. In terms of coverage, yes, Cro is probably our best option. But that will also put as at a disadvantage in the run game.
focus on the skins boys (and girls I guess…are there any females on this board?) they have a great pass rush and a good running game. they know that we know that Cousins is no threat in the passing game, particularly vs this particular secondary. So they'll try to beat us on the ground, but its not gonna work that well without any true threat through the air, no matter how much misdirection they may use to get Morris some running room. They'll wind up one dimensional and exploitable unless Cousins steps up in a way not previous seen so far. We can very easily keep them below 13 points so long as dumb mistakes on special teams or dumb ideas on offense (Good work in general BMarsh, but don't do that shit no more) aren't made and we essentially hand them opportunities. the biggest question on the opposite side is just how well can our pass protection keep kerrigan at bay. otherwise there no real mismatches that don't go our way, our physical trinity of offensive weapons are fully healthy, rested and ready to go. Just a matter of focus and preparation really, the jets are the superior team in general they just need to step on their throats and refuse to let go.
Agreed. It seems like Antonio Allen was usually respectable vs Gronk. With him out Gilchrist needs to have a big game.
I don't recall the exact reason. I know it was a culmination of being fresh off a ban and immediately trolling.
Agree with those at TGG that suggest we worry about Washington and stop looking ahead to the Patsies. We need to stay on track and come out on fire one game at the time. I also want to go on notice now and mention that we are playing a pretty good team with the skins, so please some of you after the fact Jet fans, if we beat them on Sunday save your breath with your usual BS. I really don't want to hear any more crap about we have beat nothing but a bunch of scrubs, yadda, yadda, yadda. Each game is important and weighted the same, not to mention that they damned near beat the Falcons. This team has promise and we should give them some credit for each win.
Stop looking past the Skins! They have a running game, viable receivers and a solid front 7. We will worry about the Pats after this game.
