Don’t expect Jets coach Todd Bowles to steal other teams’ game plans for stopping Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.
Bowles was asked Thursday how teams are covering Gronkowski.
“I don’t see anybody covering him. That’s the problem,” Bowles said with a laugh. “Everybody’s tried everything. He’s probably seen every coverage he’s going to see in his lifetime — doubles, triples, vices, top — he’s seen anything. You’ve just got to be smart and be able to make your share of plays.”
Gronkowski has 23 catches for 425 yards and five touchdowns for the 5-0 Patriots. The 6-foot-6 matchup nightmare now has 60 career touchdowns, one of just five tight ends to ever accomplish that feat.
