HOUSTON -- Romeo Crennel has an idea for how his Houston Texans defense can limit Rob Gronkowski.
Unfortunately, it's not one the defensive coordinator can actually employ against the New England Patriots tight end Sunday in the Texans' regular-season opener.
"I could put about 12 or 13 people on the field, but that won't work because they won't allow me to do that," Crennel said with a smile.
But the next best thing? Make sure you "try to disrupt him as best you can."
"You've just got to be sticky in coverage," said Kareem Jackson, who will make his first career start at safety Sunday after spending the first eight seasons of his career at cornerback.
