Bill Belichick Releases Encouraging Statement About Gronk Despite Injuries

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski missed three of the last four games. This had terrible effect on the Patriots offense. The team lost the contest to the Tennessee Titans, and entered the bye week hoping to recover from their defeat. Many said that Gronk will not be playing with the team after this season. He was plagued with injuries, and it was a rather realistic scenario.

The Patriots rested Gronkowski in order to keep him in a great condition for the playoffs. The team will need him for the playoffs. Head coach Bill Belichick commented about the tight end star during his press conference.

Gronkowski’s numbers are low this season, but Bill Belichick said that Gronkowski has a great role for the team.

“I mean, I’m not really sure exactly what we’re talking about here. I mean, there’s plenty of games this year where he gets a lot of double coverage. I mean, they don’t double him on every play. They don’t double anybody on every play. Nobody gets doubled on every play that I’ve seen. So, sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. I don’t know. You’d have to ask him about that.”

When reporters asked him about that, Belichick had the perfect Belichick response. “I mean, he’s a good player. It’s obvious that it helps to have him out on the field. He’s one of our best players. So, of course it helps us when he’s out there.”

Gronkowski is part of the Patriots now, and he is helping the team win a Super Bowl. That’s why Belichick had good words for the tight end. Supporting Gronk is of utmost important at this point of the season. The team has a chance to win a championship, and Gronk is here to land a hand. Belichick need him to win this Super Bowl, and he told the wold about that.
