It’s all still very fluid. I think we need to give Gronk and Amendola a little more time, let’s just wait until after the bye week before we start expecting them to be up to full speed.
As for Thompkins, sometimes it’s good for a rookie to take a step back and I think that is what yesterday was for him. He could very well still end up being a significant weapon before the year is out, but he was struggling to get off the line against the Jets, and that’s nothing something we’ve seen from him much this season.
Hopefully some perspective and rest do the trick for him and he starts showing quickness off the line he showed all summer.
