Tom Brady a chance to get work in with the teams post-Rob Gronkowski tight end group.How things are going with that group Benjamin Watson D.K. Metcalf Jersey , Matt LaCosse, Stephen Anderson, Ryan Izzo and Lance Kendricks was a topic at Bradys press conference on Wednesday. Brady was asked how significant the loss of Gronkowski feels right now.To replace great players, its not like you just pick another one off the tight end tree. You cant just go out back, Brady said. Youve got to find guys that come in and want to put the work in and want to try and contribute. Between the guys we have out here now, which is Ben, and Matt, Stephen, Ryan Izzo http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/...ersey-authentic , Lance who we just got those guys are trying to do everything they can do. Theyre all new players, so weve got to figure out how to get them up to speed to what our expectations are, the level of competition on a daily basis.Watson wont be part of the group for the first four games due to a suspension and fullback James Develin could factor into the Patriots thinking about how to position everyone now that Gronkowski has moved on to other endeavors. How all of those pieces fit will be one of many things to watch when New England kicks off their season against the Steelers on Sunday Night Football. The NFC East is getting interesting again.In the blue corner, Giants G.M. Dave Gettleman. In the red (ok, burgundy) corner, Washington president Bruce Allen.Gettleman, defending the decision to use the sixth overall pick on quarterback Daniel Jones, said over the weekend that he knows for a fact that two other teams would have drafted Jones before the Giants were on the clock again at No. 17. Someone (the Giants) then leaked that those two teams were Denver and Washington.Allen, appearing on NFL Network Gary Jennings Jr. Jersey , responded to the notion that Gettleman had actual knowledge of Washingtons draft preferences.We picked the player we wanted to pick, Allen said, via NFL.com. Im almost positive Dave has no clue what our draft board would be. I dont know which draft boards he knows, but he doesnt know ours.Gettleman doesnt know any, absent espionage. Thats the biggest flaw in his gratuitous for a fact claim. No G.M. knows another teams draft board unless there has been spying.So why does Gettleman insist that two teams between No. 6 and No. 17 would have taken Jones? Thats better than the truth, which is that the Giants feared being leapfrogged at No. 17 by a team smart enough to realize that the Giants were in the Daniel Jones business, given the effort to get the fans and media comfortable with the possibility of Daniel Jones being drafted by the Giants.By floating the Daniel Jones trial balloon, the Giants backed themselves into a corner. Thats the truth, but Gettleman cant or wont admit it.Regardless http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/...ersey-authentic , if Daniel Jones becomes a franchise quarterback, it wont matter whether he was pick No. 6 or No. 17. Conversely, if Jones doesnt become a franchise quarterback, it wont matter whether he was pick No. 17 or No. 6.The best news is that New York and Washington will continue to play each other twice per year every year, with Daniel Jones and Dwayne Haskins going head-to-head and their progress (or otherwise) being compared on an apples-to-apples basis.
