I had fun with my tight end playing days (but) I was happy when they were over. I was ready to move inside.

They've got a great defense. It's a challenge for us and we look forward to it and moving forward in the season and seeing where we're at.

He's a unique person, ... If you look at the film, he's phenomenal. ... He's so big and strong, and he's probably faster than some of their wide receivers.

We spend a lot of time in the weight room and it helps. It's just a progression. (In college) I was growing up and my body was still developing. (Last year) I got a lot of time in and spent a lot of time in the off season (increasing his strength.

I don't know, it was a long time ago. I forgot about it.

Well, you pay attention to what you're doing and watch film. But we've also got some pretty good defensive ends and linebackers that give us pretty good looks in practice. You just practice hard.

It's fun to be here with him. I think for both of us it's really neat to be able to play together and share the experience.

I don't know anything about that. I just go to practice and try and improve what I do. I can't worry about any of the other things. Just worry about yourself. . . . It never changes around here. Everybody is playing for a spot – at every position. It hasn't changed for me at all since I came here as a rookie.

You always study the players you go against. You try and stay ahead of it. Those guys are just too good to just show up on Sunday and think you're going to do well. Every week it seems like there's an all-star out there - to me, anyway. Every week is a rodeo. You just hope for the best.
