Speaking of Martellus Bennett..why has no one bitched about...

Haha

How's the hair?

Not jealous of yours

How the hell is he still on that pace with 3 catches and 36 yards

And please dont mention tony G, the guy missed like one game in a 15 year career

well, he WAS on pace for over 1000 til sunday. its 990 as of today.

from gronks ESPN page

Spin: Despite the Raiders being a good matchup against tight ends, Gronkowski was not a major part of the game plan and simply wasn't targeted after the Patriots got up 24-0 early in the third quarter. The Patriots' other tight ends, Dwayne Allen and Martellus Bennett, totaled five targets in the contest, with three of them coming in the second half. Gronk will look to get back to his dominant ways in Week 12 against Miami.

I think youre missing my point...Correction, I KNOW youre missing my point

Im not debating whether he was targeted, Im saying he isnt targeted as much because he simply doesnt dominate his coverage like he used to

And thats why he isnt targeted as much

990 divided by 16 = 61.88 yards per game

Not the Gronk I remember

Not lost

You think he is as "good as ever", while he is on pace to have his worst season ever of 15 games or more

Dont know what else you need

You're right. Lotta winds in the valley lately but they are no match for that perfectly coiffed hair of yours!

lmao

yards per game since 2014, per season:

2014 - 74.9, best TE in football
2015 - 78.4, best TE in football
2016 - 67.5, was the best TE in football until he got hurt
2017 - 68.8

care to guess why his yards are down? i'll give you a hint...ive been bludgeoning you with it for the past few hours.

FYI..gronks on pace for the fewest targets in a 15+ game season...since 2011

 

[cerealboi]

Also nasty whisperings that since the NFL started keeping closer tabs on offensive PI, to wit the dreaded push off, Gronk has not been able to get the separation he once did.

First player in History of the NFL that is 'Better than ever', but is having his worst season ever, because the team is "saving him"

Literally he is the first one ever

^^^^ True

Cereal, is this guy the same player? Is it not talked about in every broadcast that he doesnt separate like he used to?

Hey, youre arguing things I agree with

WHY he is targeted less is where you and I dis-agree

No Edelman. Amendola hurt. No Mitchell. Now hogan hurt. Bennett left but now he's back and hurt. Because of all this he is seeing much more double and triple coverage.

Fuck... You are stupid.

I do think he's not the Gronk of old. Think it's tough to tell whether that's due to the PI calling, his injuries/recovery, or just plain age catching up with him a little bit. I don't see him as the force of nature he was a few years ago, but I think he's still drawing enough attention that other guys (not just Allen and Bennett) are reaping the rewards.

Rock says it's because he blocks a lot

Get your stories straight
