Mike Gesicki has been kept wrapped up, it’s time to unwrap him

Adam Gase has been holding back his offensive system with Mike Gesicki. He has been keeping his entire plan for him neatly hidden. It’s time to see what it is.

Mike Gesicki has been basically working on his blocking techniques through the four pre-season games. Miami fans have been wondering why he hasn’t been a part of the game plan. Head coach Adam Gase has said that he doesn’t want to reveal his offensive system yet. Is this true? Should be we be expecting some exciting wrinkle that we may have never seen in Miami before?

Or perhaps, like most things Miami Dolphins the past 15 years is it all hype? Finding out Sunday would make some sense but would it surprise anyone if we see nothing the first few weeks and are told that they are saving it?

Mike Gesicki has a lot of talent and Miami Dolphins fans are dying to see it on the field. Through training camp there were glimpses but what is Adam Gase holding on to? Is this a poker hand where he is holding a Royal Flush or is he bluffing?

Gesicki believes that he has made a lot of strides since he arrived way back in May for the first Dolphins mini-camps. He calls his chemistry with Ryan Tannehill is coming along “really well”. He calls his quarterback a leader. He needs to be and Gesicki could be the player that makes Ryan Tannehill look really good in 2018. Conversely will Tannehill have the plays in hand to make Gesicki look the same?

A lot of questions remain unanswered heading into the 2018 season the first game of which will be played on Sunday. Many of those questions will not be answered on Sunday but over the course of several weeks. The ones surrounding Mike Gesicki and Adam Gases decision to keep it wrapped out of view, that one will have to play out later.

One thing of importance to note is that Adam Gase took over the role of offensive coordinator under John Fox in 2013. That season Julius Thomas had a breakout year. He scored 12 touchdowns in each of the 2013 and 2014 seasons under Gase. So far in Miami, Gase hasn’t had the same luck with his tight-ends, even Thomas last year. Whatever Gase has planned, if it is anything like Thomas in 2013 and ’14, it could be one helluva ride.
