It\u2019s been exciting, and I think there has been a lot of progress, but obviously a lot more to go, so it\u2019s been something that I look forward to continuing to attack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In New England, they&#8217;ll likely cater to his strengths, which should hopefully allow him to get back on track this season.<\/p>\n<p>3) One thing that stands out about Gesicki is he&#8217;s a solid fourth-quarter receiver, which has been a trend that&#8217;s been the case over the last two seasons.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mike_Gesicki_2022_QTR.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"787\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mike_Gesicki_2022_QTR.jpg 787w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mike_Gesicki_2022_QTR-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mike_Gesicki_2022_QTR-150x58.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 787px) 100vw, 787px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45697\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mike_Gesicki_2021_QTR.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"787\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mike_Gesicki_2021_QTR.jpg 787w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mike_Gesicki_2021_QTR-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mike_Gesicki_2021_QTR-150x67.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 787px) 100vw, 787px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For a team that had a difficult time finishing at various times throughout last season, his addition should certainly give them a boost.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the first quarter, the fourth quarter was New England&#8217;s lowest-scoring quarter in 2022, so if Gesicki can help them in that area, that should help them flip some of the games they couldn&#8217;t quite get last season.<\/p>\n<p>Gesicki did show up in the postseason last year, catching two passes for 15 yards including hauling in Miami&#8217;s lone receiving touchdown in their 34-31 loss to Buffalo back in January.<\/p>\n<p>He seems to be a dynamic player who should be fun to watch, and for now, it at least feels like the Patriots have solidified their tight end position for at least 2023.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some thoughts on the New England Patriots&#8217;
