Postgame – Las Vegas

TE Mike Gesicki (transcribed by Joseph Squillace)

(How much of an adjustment has learning this offense been?) – “Oh yeah, it’s definitely a whole different offense and a whole different scheme. I’m learning a new position basically, so it’s been good. It’s been exciting, and I think there has been a lot of progress, but obviously a lot more to go, so it’s been something that I look forward to continuing to attack.”

(Out of the starters, the guys with the ones, you’ve had by far the most preseason work. Is that a reflection on where you think you are in learning this offense?) – “I need it. I need all the reps I can get. I mean, I played receiver last year, I’ve played receiver the past three or four years. I’m playing tight end now and any reps I can get live, out there blocking, putting my hands on another guy and going out there, working hard and blocking; honestly just working on my footwork and my hand placement, all that kind of stuff. Any reps I can get at that, I can use it.”

(The first quarter when QB Tua Tagovailoa hit you between the numbers, and you saw the defenders coming. Was that something that freaked you out?) – “Yeah, I just didn’t get my head around. Tua (Tagovailoa) is a damn trained SEAL, so he got back there, his back foot hit, and he put it right in-between my numbers. I just got to get my head around quicker.”
