Jim Schwartz: It’s bigger than just Rob Gronkowski

The Patriots are still hopeful — for what that’s worth — that Rob Gronkowski will clear the concussion protocol before the Super Bowl.

But even if he doesn’t, the Eagles can’t exactly breathe easily about the challenge of stopping them.

Via Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald, Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said he can’t focus on Tom Brady‘s favorite target even if he’s well enough to play.

“In the NFL, in general, particularly the Patriots, you can’t scheme for one player. If you do, they have plenty of other players that can make plays,” Schwartz said.
