Bucs/fins Scrimmage- Day 2

Should’ve rolled with Dallas Goedert. There for the taking.

Gesicki is a physical freak and I can understand why he was drafted in the second round from a GM perspective. Unfortunately the production and development just hasn't been there.

With some of the movement we have had in the front office will keep that from happening yes. Grier is polarizing but he has shown a willingness to adapt. Now has Truth has said multiple times though where Grier has failed is he picks a lot of players that the coach wants. Gesicki was a Gase guy. Gase loved him and that was a guy he wanted. As Slimm has said Grier also put a premium on how guys interviewed which is how we got Charles Harris. So he has made bad choices.

Having McKenzie and Allen will help a lot. Having the Patriots crew (who also scoured college heavily) will help. There will likely be more changes coming too

I'm really not enthused or encouraged when people try and emulate the Patriots. They've had such a stable, well-coached system for years that they can fill a lot of their team with system guys who are not good physical specimens and wouldn't necessarily be successful all over the place. How did Danny Amendola work here? New England also has the benefit of supplementing these guys high upside, buy-low players who are able to work in New England because they buy into that system. New England also gets the benefit of massive compensatory picks every year since their players are always overvalued in FA, so they almost always have more draft picks to play with despite picking low.

I hate when teams try to emulate New England because there are few teams in sports anywhere that have those luxuries.
