TE Mike Gesicki

(Head Coach Brian Flores was talking today about guys who might’ve “turned the corner.” After your performance on Sunday – he doesn’t really want players to see it that way. He wants them to always think they’re aiming for that corner and keep the fire going. How do you feel on that?) – “I would say that I’m part of the people that are not – I don’t feel like I’m there. I’m never going to have that feeling. I think I’ve got a lot left to prove, a lot of football left, honestly, for us to play this year. I’m going to continue my routine, continue to do what I do. I’ve just got to be ready when my opportunity gets called.”

(That said, two offensive weapons were lost this week and after your performance last week, I’m sure that you’re looking forward to going out there and keep the success going to help this team, right?) – “I think here we just have a next-man-up mentality. I think there’s going to be a lot of guys who are going to help fill that role with some guys not being out there. But ultimately, I think everybody does a good job in preparation to be ready for when their opportunity does get called and when they do have their shot. I think Sunday is going to be another example of that.”

(To what extent is last Sunday an opportunity for you to build on?) – “I think every week is something to build on, whether it’s some negative plays that happened in the game that I need to learn from or the positives that everybody wants to talk about. Ultimately, I’m the guy that’s never too high, never too low. When things are going good, I’m going to keep doing what I do. When things are going bad, I’m going to keep sticking to my routine and know that I’m going to get over the hump eventually. That’s where I’m at with my mindset. It’s where I’ve always been and I’m not going to change it.”

(How much faith do you have in RB Kalen Ballage that he can step in there and get the running game going?) – “I think a lot of people forget Kalen last year stepped in, had a great game against Minnesota. He had I think it was like a 70-yard run. He’s a very talent player. I think he’s going to do a great job for us. He’s been preparing all year long and now he’ll have his opportunity and we’re all excited for him.”

(What is it about RB Kalen Ballage that makes him…?) – “Just go around the corner and look at him. He’s big, he’s strong, he’s fast, he can run the ball, he can catch it, he can do whatever you ask him to do. I think that it’s going to be a great opportunity for him to go out there and whatever they ask him to do, to go out and make plays.”
