Gesicki looked like a superstar against the Bills and was very good against the 49ers. But I'm not sure he even has 5 combined catches across the rest of the season. Why is he either a superstar or our 4th string tight end?

The talent is clearly there, does he just lack the mindset required for consistent success? Or is our esteemed OC (who seems to have just discovered a revolutionary new concept called the wildcat) at fault?

I have always been a Gesicki sceptic, but I was starting to think I may have been wrong. But a big time tight end doesnt have so many games with zero production. He shouldn't either be an all pro or Michael Egnew, surely there is a middle ground?
 
He's not really a tight end in the way he should be. He's not a good blocker and his plays take time to develop. He's actually more of a WR than anything else and in a corps of multi-use TEs it all depends what team we are playing. Yesterday an extra blocker was needed on the line, hence not seeing much of the G man yesterday.
 
You should really watch the game tapes before making threads like this.
If you do then you'd see how misplace your thread truly is.

I know everyone is itching, as this thread and your post proves, to get back on the "Gesicki sucks" bandwagon again.

let's throw out yesterday as a weird one for the passing game in general and see what happens going forward.

mikey might evolve into Tua's safety blankie!
 
I'm expecting to see Gesicki being less involve now with Tua starting tbh. Not sure he's the type of WR(yes, he's a big WR instead of a real TE) that Tua will look for. I could be wrong but I think Tua will look for the quick guys more.

Fine throw out yesterday. He still.had 1 catch v the Seahawks, 1 catch against the Jags, 0 catches against the Jets, 3 catches against the Pats.

When Gesicki is on form he is amazing. But I'd still like a TE who is consistently good rather than occasionally fantastic

I've put the pre-Tua situation out of sight out of mind.

Onward with the Tuanator.
 
I don’t really consider this curious by any means. This is why I said Preston needed to step up. Cause gesicki isn’t a consistent iso win option. And so a lot of the production defenses don’t care about.

but Preston still looks bad at the top of routes and with the hands so...doesn’t look like it’s in the cards.

tua was waiting forever for mike on an 8 yard stop route to win at the end of the game.

Ok since most of the average posters here CANNOT watch the game tapes help them figure out that Gesicki doesn't suck by adding content.

Nope! I've done that thread before.

Kinda tough to rack up those receiving yards when the ball isn't being thrown your way. If he and Tua had connected on that deep pass he would have accounted for about a third of the team's offense, as pathetic as that may have been. The pass was a beauty, he high pointed the ball, and had the misfortune of being extremely well defended.

His route tree might be limited but hes a big boy and he can catch the ball. If he gets it thrown his way hes going to make some plays and that "consistent" appearance on the box score.
 
He doesn't seem to have fight in him.

Wide open he is fine but even against guys 6 inches smaller he kinda flails around as opposed to pushing them out of the way.
 
He will be fine, he is leading the League in YPC at like 16 or something. Like 300 yards on 19 receptions. He is legit. it's more of our game plan and play calling. Him and Tua will be best palls soon. Patience.
