How are you doing there, Mr. Sossohn?

I'm doing great, Fred. Good morning, guys. Good to be with you.

Good morning. So you're on the team plane.

Any, will you get in a good look there at Grunkowski? Do you see anything weird?

No, no. In fact, you know, the team playing is kind of kind of a in sections that uh... are

really kind of closed off i mean that the players they enter in the back and

they stay in the back

uh... we enter through the front and we stay toward the front

and uh... there's a lot of separation got a lot of marketing clients who are on the

trip as well people who are fans that pay uh... a lot of money to accompany the Patriots and fly on the team charter.

They have the team hotel.

So you've got a pretty nice buffer between those of us who are in the media and the players themselves.

I didn't see Grunk get off the plane.

I didn't see Grunk even get on the plane last night.

I do know that Gronk told reporters

that he would talk today and that he was going to be okay, but he certainly hold her breath

a bit. We certainly were more optimistic about Dante Hightower last week seeing him on the exercise

bike than we were in the week to come, so hopefully in the case of Granc, you know, we can, you know,

to have that optimism seeing him on the bike yesterday, you know, pay off and prove, you know,

prove that it was in the right place that he will be able to come back.

So many injuries yesterday, Bob.

I mean, you had not only Grunkowski, Chris Hogan, even though he went back in, he still looked pretty hobbled. Burkhead, Dorset. Oh, Eric Rowe? It was really just a miserable day as far as these guys going in and out of that little makeshift tent that they put on the sidelines. And of all those injuries, which one worries you the most as far as you think is the most severe from what you've seen? Well, I think it's the big guy. I think it's Kronkowski. And, you know, last year when he went down late in the season, there was Martellus Bennett, who was able to help compensate for his loss, and the Patriots had enough weapons going forward through the postseason. but now you're talking about an offense that already is lacking Julian Adelman that has been without Amandola for a game and a half with Burkhead status. Now, someone in question, of course, after he suffered an injury, you've got Gronkowski, who's a guy that is such a factor, as we saw yesterday. I think it was a real big key to the great start they got. They involved running backs, but they also got the tight end going right away. Throw down the middle for a first down early. That got him engaged, and that set the tone, I think, offensively. And with Dwayne Allen is the backup tight end, he's yet to show that he can be a factor in the passing game, whether it's in training
