I noticed that effect during the Patriots/Ravens game.
The Ravens were generating so much pressure that the Pats were eventually forced to keep Gronk in to block.
If Houston's able to do that with regularity, teams like the Chargers and even the Broncos will have no choice but to keep their TE out of the pattern. It could do a lot to help cover for our biggest weakness in the defense - coverage over the middle.
