Tight End Mike Gesicki

(Although you are a rookie and haven’t been here awhile, Dolphin fans can be sometimes brutal; but it seems like everybody is drinking the Kool-Aid now and jumped on the bandwagon. That’s always a good thing as well.) – “Regardless of what’s going on outside the locker room, we just don’t pay attention to it. Kind of a quote that I go by is ‘don’t pay attention to praise or criticism. It’s a weakness to get caught up in either one.’ When things are going good, everybody is happy. When things aren’t, you block it all out. You just focus on your role, your assignment. That’s all that you can control.”

(What did you think of that picture you guys took as a team after that WR Albert Wilson touchdown?) – “It was awesome. That’s the fun part about it. Albert made a great play and then got the whole team to come celebrate with him. It was cool, it was fun and we enjoyed it.”

(You’ve been in a lot of rowdy, hostile environments being over at Penn State. Walking into MetLife Stadium yesterday, what was that like?) – “It was another away game. It was cool, a nice atmosphere. Sometimes on third down it would pick up a little bit, but for the most part, I think that our team kind of weathered the storm and did a really good job with it.”

(What was the number one thing you noticed that … You won, but you have a lot to clean up, so what’s the number one thing you guys noticed?) – “I think it’s much better to learn from mistakes after you win. It’s a great feeling to come in here right now after another win and be able to go back to tape and just kind of pick apart your game, see what worked and what didn’t, and then just continue to get better.”

(Having said that, what was one of those things that stuck out to you?) – “For myself, just finishing plays. I think I did a really good job fighting off the ball and getting my hands inside. I’m doing a good job blocking and just have to stay on my guy and finish him. It’s just going to continue to come with more reps and I just want to continue to play more snaps.”

(How many family members and friends did you have in the stands, and how do you feel like you played in your home state?) – “I had a ton of family and friends there. It was cool to get back and see some familiar faces and play in front of them. It was a great experience and I’m happy that we were able to get out of there with a win.”

(I know you’re a first-year player, but you know better not to quit on your team. When you heard Bills CB Vontae Davis retired at halftime, how crazy is that, how weird is that?) – “I don’t really know all of the details or anything like that. That’s not my business or anything to speak on that. He did what he did.”
