MarQueis Gray Torn Achilles - Gavin Escobar Resigned

DorfdadForum VeteranOPSeems were going to be a little thin at TE with the injury to Marqueis. Mike Gesicki’s is going to get his chances anyway but hopefully he can play a few more snaps than they intended to start him with.
The Miami Dolphins shuffled the deck at the tight end position days before the start of the regular season.
The Dolphins placed starting tight end MarQueis Gray on injured reserve and signed veteran Gavin Escobar as a corresponding roster move, the team announced Thursday.
While the Dolphins did not disclose Gray's injury, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Gray suffered a torn Achilles during Wednesday's practice, via a source informed of the situation.
GalantForum Veteran:( I was quietly hoping to see MarQueis shine this year.
"Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves – from our recklessness or our greed. God sent into the world a unique person – neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive... It is my prayer that on this Christmas day we might all find room in our lives for the message of the angels and for the love of God through Christ our Lord." (Christmas message, 2011)
KeyFinForum VeteranWell, like Gase said a few days ago....Gisecki is going to be doing lots of blocking in our first game. LOL
Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.

Yeah, I like that guy. Not sure exactly why except that he's a grinder.

Well the media reports I've seen from a couple of the beat guys have said that he has improved quite a bit from when he first showed up.
And that's what I was saying in the draft that's what coaches are supposed to do, ya know, coach.

Deus ex dolphinForum VeteranLost our best blocking TE, right? Might as well bring in another Tackle and split Gesicki out wide near the goal line. Or the Red Zone. Or always, I don't know. :)
Sorry to lose Gray for the year though. That might be the end of a career for him. Escobar caught a break.
A terrible play call, terribly executed.

We basically lost our FB, too.
Exactly, as CK pointed out earlier this offseason, Gray is our best move blocker. Hopefully, Smythe can cover for what is a pretty big loss, imo.
