Fins TE coach Jon Embree opens up about Mike Gesicki

[Adam First]

Gesicki is too talented of a player to not see the field but it seems clear that he is not in their long term plans. I am curious to see how they use Hunter Long now that he is returning from his injury.

I am not surprised by the comments whatsoever. Having said that, Gesicki made a TD grab where he high pointed the ball. No one else on the team makes that play. My point is that he is still a talented player and he adds a weapon that we can use. I trust McCoach to get Gesicki being used as a weapon.

It's a gluttony of riches. Gesicki and Cedric Wilson are two guys that I still believe can flourish in this offense - just need more opportunity (or in Ced's case, needs to get healthy).

The candor is impressive. Unfortunately, he's told DCs 'MG in? expect a pass.'

 

[Swiss]

Yep. Was dumb to hold on to him. Doesn't fit, and will continue to not fit.

 

[djphinfan]

This was all very predicatble imo..

We've got cheetahs to the left, and penguins to the right. I am sure everybody is like, throw it to me, throw it to me! I am curious about Bridgewater and who he feels the most confident throwing to.

Not quite. He said Block Power not never run block. There are certain alignments where that indicates pass, but it is not never run block.

Didn't mean to make that an absolute. More of a 'likely'

I wanted to see what this staff could do with Mike but it looks like the time is about over in Miami. I was hoping he'd open it up in this new tooled offense but it seems like that ain't going to happen.

IIRC, he seemed to favor Sherfield. Don't know if that was design or preference

 

[circumstances]

Gesicki could have knocked that DB on his behind, Kittle!!

if I may add a caveat… Who is what he is. Or is that a cliché… Whatever

It’s a big reason why our run game isn’t working. TEs are a HUGE part of what 49ers do and that’s why it’s not translating here.

The guy that comes open deep the Quickest.

Teddy, unlike Tua will not pick apart a defense, but in long range gunslinger fashion, he will make defenses sorry if one of our blazing superstars comes open downfield.
