I don't think I've ever forced a fumble before. I always played offense my whole life -- a little defense here and there, but not full-time ever. I was just trying to wrap him up, and I might have gotten my hand in there. It wasn't on purpose. I was just trying to get him down.

Rex is more instinctive in terms of being able to make plays on the run. Besides that, I don't think there's too much difference. They both can make all the throws.

[Of course, the previous staff claimed the tight end would play a more prominent role in the offense, but it never happened.] Most of the stuff I caught was when I was facing the ball, ... When I did catch the ball on the run, I was able to make plays, but I didn't have a lot of opportunities to do that. Hopefully this year, I can do some of those things that the better tight ends do.

I'm shooting for the sky, ... There wasn't a tight end that had 80 catches last year, so I'm trying to be on top of the league. But if it's 40 catches and we win 14 or 15 games, then I'm happy. It's not a personal thing because all the personal accolades come when your team is winning anyway. But I'm shooting for 80.

When he threw it, I was on the goal line and had to kind of stretch out for the ball, ... I knew I was going to have to turn around and get an extra yard and get in there.

Going into Thursday's practice I hit a brick wall and felt real bad. I felt like I had to throw up a few times and [had] dizziness.

Kyle played good. He played good for his first game.

I wasn't able to keep my balance very well.
