Chris Gronkowski wasn’t on the field Sunday, but he feels his brother’s frustration.
In an interview Tuesday morning on WEEI, the former NFL fullback lamented the inability of other Patriots receivers to get open through the team’s first three games this season — adding that not only has it been “super frustrating” for him personally to watch, but also frustrating for Rob.
“Usually a tight end is being covered by a linebacker, who really can’t cover anyone,” the Patriots tight end’s older brother told WEEI.
“When you’re giving up two of your best defenders — two safeties or a corner and a safety — to cover a tight end, your guys on the outside should be able to win,” he said.
