TE Mike Gesicki

(How concerned are you guys about what’s going on right now, not just in your team’s facility but now 11 teams are having COVID situations?) – “I think we all knew something was going to happen eventually at some point. We knew it wasn’t going to be a perfect season where we were going to come in here and there were going to be no positives or anything like that. I think the league has done a good job with their protocols and keeping the health of everybody at the top of the list. We’ve just got to keep moving forward and stay ahead of this thing.”

(To what extent does this throw the preparations and the rhythm of ramping up for the game off track?) – “Not very much. Obviously, it’s just a change of schedule and bumping stuff back with some restrictions and things like that. For the most part, we were able to accomplish everything we wanted to at practice and meetings and all of that kind of stuff. We’ve met through Zoom before so it was nothing new for us or anything like that. I think the entire organization did a good job adapting.”

(Were you a part of that receiving group that stayed and did extra work after practice to get more accustomed with QB Tua Tagovailoa? If so, what did you get from it and how far along do you think you are compared to last week at this time?) – “We’ll stay after practice and throw extra routes and work on timing and just getting more and more reps and more and more comfortable. At the end of the day, I think obviously there is something to say about chemistry and Tua knowing that ‘I’m going to put it here. That’s where Mike likes it.’ Or me knowing ‘alright, I know the ball is going to be here. This is how Tua throws it.’ But I think at the end of the day, just go out and make plays. He’s a great quarterback and we took him where we did for a reason. He’s had success throwing the football and it’s up to everybody else to go out and make plays.”
