Cover 1 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 He struggled in his first game. Couldn't sustain blocks. Didn't get w chance to show his receiving skills. PFF grades him as worse Bills player (-2.4) and a -1.5 run blocking grade (not going to cut it). Watch his film below and tell me does it look like he may make this team? I don't think he will. http://www.cover1.net/2016/08/glenn-gronkowski-will-he-make-the-squad/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Practice Squad is his destination if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 If his name wasn't Gronkowski I don't think that he'd be with a team. He doesn't do anything particularly well and is limited athletically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't do anything particularly well and is limited athletically. Totally agree. I gave him he benefit of the doubt too. But after watching that film idk if I would waste a practice squad position on him. Practice squad players typically run scout team for starters Thye are relied upon to resemble oposing teams players and give the 1st teamed a good looks. Will he do that for our team? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaadThingsMan Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hate to cut him, he'd have an express ticket to *Belicheats secret lab. I'm thinkin practice squad, if he makes the team i'm callin BS. Let's hope this isn't John Connor redux with rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, he was a good player, and ended up being cut. Baby Gronk stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Johnson Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 If his name wasn't Gronkowski I don't think that he'd be with a team. He doesn't do anything particularly well and is limited athletically. He really didn't have a distinguished college career. Felton is not being threatened by this kid.

Baby Gronk stinks.I remember Connor as more of a novelty at first, a Rex project of sorts. Maybe i'm misremembering? Just hopin Rex can control himself around the baby.

Dragonborn10 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 It is a passing league. Get rid of all the fullbacks. They are not needed. If they need a big body in the backfiled they can make Karlos Williams block, a TE, or any random spare OL/DL. FB is useless. Felton wasn't even any good last year. I would much rahter keep an extra - well pretty much any extra position except punter and long-snapper over a FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I though Rex (or maybe Whaley) said awhile ago that baby Gronk's best chance to make the team Was on ST. And not as a fullback at first. The kid sure wants to be a Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felton did struggle at times but that was only in space. If you go to My Cover 1 site and watch the why it worked series u will see that Felton made quite the difference on a lot of our TDs.
