Gesicki is a better, more reliable 3rd option in the passing game over Iosivas.

They can run with Hudson if they want an extra receiving TE or run with Sample for the blocking.

(11-03-2024, 10:32 PM)ochocincos Wrote: Gesicki? In what way?
In games they've been without Higgins (4), Gesicki has put up 22 rec for 282 yards.
That averages to 5.5 rec and 70.5 yards per game average when Higgins has been out.
70.5 YPG would equate to nearly 1200 yards in a season.

Gesicki is plenty fine as a 2/3 option, at least production-wise.


Gesicki is already up to 353 yards on the season through 9 games.
He could be the first Bengals TE to surpass 500 yards since Eifert back in 2015.

The most yards the Bengals have had from a TE in the past 2 decades was Gresham in 2012 with 737.
Gesicki would have to produce on average 50 yards per game from here on out to surpass that, but it's achievable.

Gesicki is a nice option but IDEALLY as a high end 4th option. Low end 3rd. 

just my opnion though. You didnt really see the rest of the league jump quickly to sign Gesicki

Your 4th option should be someone like Iosivas.
Someone young still developing that you can get the ball here and there when the other guys are covered.

We will have to disagree, as I think Gesicki is a perfect 3rd option in an offense with Chase and Higgins.
He's also proven he can step up when you have one of your top 1-2 guys go down, which is also what you want to see in a 2/3.

We'll see how he pans out the rest of the season.

WTS, he's not in the same league as a pass receiver as Chase.

He's been a great #2 for us the last 2 weeks and hopefully, he starts pulling some coverage his way so JC can eat again.

Gesicki getting single coverage or no coverage at all like his one TD then he is the better option in most cases.

The only person on this team that might get double coverage off Chase and Tee is Gesicki. Feed the guy the rock till they stop doubling Chase and Tee then they can really eat, and we can really be a dangerous offense like we should be with these players. Burrow Chase Tee Gesicki. 

Burton needs to play I do not care if he kicks Zac's dog right before the game. Zac is the head coach...Zac calls the plays on offense....Zac will have direct influence on who is picked as skill position guys on offense. So, Zac basically drafted Burton he knew he was a headcase now deal with him he deserves 2 or 3 deep targets a game on go routes. He is the 4th best option and can give great production with very few targets that is a weapon we will need.
