Bubba Gump Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Mike seems to be unthrilled the way he is being used in Miami. Tells Knox he is happy for him. Caught on Dawson's mic supposedly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poleshifter Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Didn't Miami franchise their non-blocking tight end? Maybe he asked Knox "What's this blocking thing they make you do?" 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they tagged him to not throw to him anymore. 1 catch during their current 3 game losing streak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have felt a lot worse after watching Knox have a really good game. Still, I don’t want my guy putting that out there on mic’d up. What we know so far is he doesn’t block and he’ll never be the poster boy for “team leader”. But he sure does kill us sometimes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Ya I think Mia was trying to trade him earlier in the year. He had a great season last year. Maybe we can sign him as TE2 next year 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 The guy is a horrible blocker, nothing more then a large Wr. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. No they do not--but they have to at this time because Beane can put together a competent O-line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh did spend his rookie year throwing to Kelvin Benjamin. Heck Gesicki might even agree to run routes pregame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I⁸I said it before the season the decision to franchise tag Gesicki was a mistake by Miami. He is a tight end in name and number only. Last season be played fewer than 100 snaps at tight end. The tight end is a critical piece in the stretch zone blocking scheme. It is okay saying "Gesicki is a good player coaches should design the scheme around their talent" but that would literally mean Mike McDaniel junking the entire offensive philosophy he has come up with - which is the reason Miami hired him. Mike Gesicki can not block. He cannot play the role that a tight end plays in this scheme and that is why he is being taken off the field for Durham Smythe. And it isn't as thought McDaniel hasn't tried to make make it work. He has doubled Gesicki's tight end snaps this year to about 180.... but he has seen it with his own eyes. Gesicki can't block. AT ALL. Mike Gesicki is a big slot with good hands. In a spread style offense or one that incorporates lots of spread concepts (Miami has basically run the Chan Gailey spread the past two years with Gailey and then with two of their position coaches after Gailey) he can and has had success (700 yards receiving each of the last two years). But he is VERY scheme specific. Miami paying him long term to play in this scheme would be worse than when Washington paid one of the best zone corners in the NFL Josh Norman a ton of money and then asked him to play man coverage for the next 3 years. I think he'd be great in Kansas City. Even better with the Chargers. The Giants is another landing spot that makes sense. The Raiders would be too if they didn't already have Waller. His problem is the Shanahan offense is in vogue at the moment in the league and lots of teams are running varients thereof. Limits the market for guys like Ertz and Gesicki who are only tight ends accoring to the number on their back. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelius Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Gesicki has no poker face and honestly comes across as a bit slow and unprofessional at this point. He's been unhappy since last season with his usage. He's got some talent but at this point the Fish might just be retaliating against his constant distraction.

BreezeMafia Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Maybe stop doing that stupid dance after he makes a catch or a touchdown.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOTONE Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I’d take him in a heartbeat beat. He’s a massive target with great hands. Diggs, Davis, Knox, and Gesicki. Who are you going to cover in the red zone? he will get paid tho but not as a WR like he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 They shouldn’t have made that conversation public. Gesicki didn’t know Knox was miked up. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
