Friday Patriots Notebook 9/18: Could Jones Be on Ryan's Radar?

Rob Gronkowski clearly caught everyone’s attention in week one after grabbing three touchdowns and quieting a Steelers team that had talked all week about how they planned on jamming the veteran tight end in the hopes of shutting him down.

Well, that didn’t happen and Gronkowski was a big reason why the Steelers started the 2015 season 0-1.

This week against the Bills he’s been the focal point of some of the chatter coming out of Buffalo, with head coach Rex Ryan conceding there will “probably be some snaps when three guys are on him.” That’s an interesting plan, but likely a deadly one if Tom Brady recognizes it and it could mean we see bigger performances from other players in New England’s offense.
