We are going to be running more 21 personnel (2 TE formations) moving forward because of McDaniel coming from the Shanihan tree and he also wants to establish a running game.

We currently have Shaheen and Long as in line TE’s. Do you think Smythe is a priority resign due to his blocking capabilities? Both long and Shaheen were more receiving TEs coming out of college and both were not known for blocking. We already have a catch TE in Gesiski, don’t we need complete TE’s that can be proficient blockers and also catch the ball?

Do you see us adding to the position in FA or the draft.

How many TE’s do you see the Dolphins carrying due to 21 personnel?

Smythe..Shaheen...Long...
 
Its hard to know what the coaching staff thinks of what they have. Was Gesicki franchised so they don't lose an asset or because they think he thrive under McDaniel? What did they think of Long coming out of college and do they project him as a future starter or someone who is only kept around because hes on a rookie deal?

I do think we know that there will be plays where McDaniel wants to have two TEs out there that can both block. To me that means that Gesicki can't be factored in when thinking of TE depth. This team has two TEs, one of whom is a relative unknown. I imagine at least one more will be coming via free agency.
