Patriots mailbag: What impact can Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman have?

Welcome to our first playoff edition of the Friday 6-Pack. Basically, I’ll solicit questions on Twitter (@jeffphowe) and answer six on the blog every Friday. If you’re so inclined, use the #Friday6Pack hashtag and submit a question earlier in the week.

Here we go.

How can the Patriots attack them if Rob Gronkowski isn’t available and knowing Julian Edelman’s snaps could possibly be limited as well?

Do you think Edelman will be able to play at the same level Saturday as he did before he got injured?

Gronkowski’s knee is an issue, but the expectation is he’ll try to play through the pain.
