Then again in 2011 Belichick played WR Julian Edelman at DB.
And of course Belichick is the coach who got 8 td receptions from lining up LB Mike Vrabel at TE.
Basically what I am saying is that i am thinking like one of the greatest coaches in history and you all are thinking like cavemen. Asking a TE to learn a limited coverage role is not like teaching a guy brain surgery. Uzo is one of the rare athletes than can match Gronk's physical abilities. Add the element of surprise and it could work for one game.
Now you just compared yourself to Bill Belicheck? Did they ask Julian Edelman to cover Jerry Rice? That is what you are doing your asking a guy to learn a position to cover the best player ever at their position.
