I’m sorry that I have to write these words, but Mike Gesicki is a ghost now. I’m not saying that Mike Gesicki is now in the hereafter but for the Dolphins he an afterthought.

I guess that ties into Brian Flores not giving a rip about who gets the ball, but Mike Gesicki, you would think, would be a guy they would attempt to scheme open a few more times a game like they do Jaylen Waddle but no sir. That is not something that the staff is into doing.

And that’s a shame because we all know what Mike Gesicki is capable of but it seems that all they want him doing is running to the flat. You’d think you’d want to utilize a guy who is 6’6 who possesses great hands but alas this is the Dolphins were talking about. Why do that when you can get the ball to Durham Smythe amiright?

If I put my conspiracy hat on here you can make the case that the Dolphins are purposely doing this so that they can try and sign Gesicki for cheaper in the offseason. I don’t think that will work but you can make the argument that the Dolphins would actually believe it’s possible. It is the Miami Dolphins here and we’ve seen even this year that they’re capable of anything.
