"He has been doing the same thing every day" since Day 1 of camp, Belichick said, "He's been out here every day. He's been in camp the whole - he hasn't missed a day of camp."
Gronkowski underwent a procedure on his back called a microscopic lumbar discectomy back on June 18th, a procedure that his doctor insists is healed enough between 4 to 6 weeks to resume normal everyday activity - given the math and Belichick's assertions, it is entirely feasible that the talented man-beast has been working with the strength and conditioning coaches since the beginning of camp.
Which begs the question, how close is he to being in "Football shape"?
When posed with that question, Belichick went off on one of his C.M. Punk style rants that usually go on for a few minutes that seems like hours, and says absolutely nothing in the process:
"Every decision we make on a player comes down to two things, really: what's best for the player and what's best for the team," Belichick offered, "When those are the same, it's easy; when they're not, then something has to give. You have to make a call one way or the other."
Apparently, Bill Belichick continues to do the same thing every day as well, casting his line in the murky waters of Lake Ambiguity where the media attacks it, swallowing what he offers, hook, line and sinker - only to discover that what at first looked like a tasty night crawler was, in fact, a fabricated worm used to control the media.
And the media bites every single time.
Given the time table and a Gronk sighting on a side practice field yesterday, one can only be left to assume that we could be very close to seeing Rob Gronkowski on the 53 man roster come Saturday evening - at least that's what that lure tasted like...
