Could Brad Jones help as the Packers try to contain Rob Gronkowski?

Brad Jones returned against Minnesota as Green Bay’s dime linebacker. Whatever combination the Packers use against the Patriots, Rob Gronkowski must be a priority Sunday at Lambeau Field.

Stopping a TE is not hard. All you need to do is slam them at the line with a OLB and they are done. Think back to Wayne Simmons and Brent Jones. Packers don't have an Simmons and Gronkowskis at least five times what Jones was in his prime. The method still works.

Micah Hyde is going to get the Gronk assignment. Hopefully, they beat him up a little on the line of scrimmage.

The Patriots WR do not scare me.

Lock Sam Shields on WR1
Lock Tramon Williams on WR2

If they have WR3, bring out the Casey Hayward special. Boom, done.

Packers have one helluva trio of CB there, lol. That doesn't even include Micah Hyde.

Also, I would sell out the blitz with keeping an ILB back for the rush. I would be bringing two LB's every single time the distance to go is greater than 7 yards.

Tom Brady CAN be rattled (every QB can) and the best way to do that is continue having guys hit him or at least falling around his feet.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!
