Mike Gesicki For President 2019

I might buy the RB argument but as to the TE's no way. Gase didn't do Miami any favors at TE.

Well bringing in Julius Thomas corpse was a really bad look. Last year I feel like Gase put his eggs in the q gray basket and when gray got injuried early on it was a major set back

I would disagree with that only because taco eyes Gase made gesicki block more then any other te in the league last year IIRC

Ehhh, i disagree with you disagreeing, i saw it as Gase trying to prepare him for the long haul

But don’t get me wrong, i was very underwhelmed by him so far

I can see how you came to that conclusion and it is definitely a possibility Gase was trying to set him up with the tools long term.

But let me ask you this... With the nfl being so uncertain as far as job security goes and not many coaches are guaranteed a next year. Why would stubborn ass Gase keep trying to fit the square peg in the round hole by continuously making gesicki block.

Maybe he blocked well in practice.

Despite job security, I don't believe many coaches will throw out their coaching philosophies over a rookie TE. NFL head coaches can be stubborn, ****y, sons of bitches.

Besides being as graceful as a baby giraffe learning to walk, he needs to be a lot more physical.

He will be better the second we run 12 or even 22 packages.

I would argue that he focused on trying to become a good blocking TE to the point it started to effect his ability as a pass catching TE

I’ve seen a lot of negativity around these here parts regarding Gesicki and a lot of it is, quite frankly tom foolery.

A lot of the blame last year is attributed to taco eyes Gase. He spent the entire year trying to force Mike into becoming a better blocker. IMO If he wanted that, he should have taken GOEDERT (which I am on record at the time of the pick expecting goedert to be our pick instead of gesicki) All of our gurus here told us this. The gurus on TV told us this. Why was it obvious to people outside of the NFL, but that creepy eyed mo’fo and his ego couldn’t see it? It’s blasphemous to the football gods. I will never understand that move. Maybe he was thinking it will be better long term for gesickis development? My theory is Gase wanted a different TE on draft day but was overruled so he told everyone to pound salt and purposely made gesicki block an outrageous amount.

I’m not done with gaseBot either. Mike spent a lot of last year in his doghouse because of that failed fade call early in the year. But rookies make mistakes! Setting those kind of tones is the worst! You have to let your young players grow. Now I do believe Mike needs to learn how to use his frame better to box out, that is a legitimate concern. Light a fire under him, but benching him for long periods of times was not the solution

Now what I see in Mike is an elite athlete; he accelerates to top speed with his gazelle like running stride, shows exceptional quickness at the top of his stem to shake free, and he’s got those loose hips to make guys miss. The man has all the tools to be great long term. Last year was not a good year for him by any means but get real how many TEs in the history of the nfl have lit the world on fire as a rookie? In 2019, the task has to be to get the ball into his hands in space so he can use that athleticism. I think Fitzpatrick will like him. He made OJ Howard a much better player when he got to Tampa. I saw OJ used as both an X and flanker when Brate was in at TE. This has to be the blue print for Gesicki going forward

Mike’s also an exceptionally hard worker. I have it on good authority that him and Smythe led by example in that room last year; they were like sponges absorbing that playbook. The man even offered to walk tannehills dog if it meant he would end up with a better connection with his qb. If you listen to him speak, you’ll get it like Mike gets it! He’s on the verge of breaking out, mark these words.

When Gesicki has a pro bowl caliber season in 2019... Your dude is picking up a sweet new #88 Gesicki jersey book it!

Completely agree with that. I hope you're right on the rest

Just don’t line him up inline, keep him flexed or in motion at all times..
