We're going to make sure he's the primary target a lot. We have more pass plays than I've ever had in our offense that are geared toward the tight end.
We're expecting to get him back this season. We just don't know when.
We know what it feels liked to be here and win it, and we know what it feels like to be here and lose it.
We're just trying to get better down there, ... We just need to get more (touchdowns). We're not going to get a touchdown every time, but we need to get a higher percentage of them.
We decided to run that ball and try to live with it. We kept pounding, getting yards after contact, just grinding it out in a real physical way. That's great.
We need Brandon and Andy to have confidence in that snap and hold right now. It's not happening right now and it's getting in their head a little bit.
He's a lot like Fred Gibson, ... Fred had a lot of (missed assignments) as a freshman, but he also had a lot of production. So we tried to get him on the field.
(One game) we have looked like a finesse team, a passing team, run it here and there. And the next time we just flat out ran it and didn't even do anything to try and loosen the perimeter.
I thought he looked a lot like Shane Matthews. It was kind of eerie how much he looked like him. He looked like Shane Matthews as a second- or third-year player, not the first shot out of the cannon.
It may even roll into a little of the season before you can really be sure because when you get to the point of who you think it is, and he's the man, how will he handle being that guy? It's just hard to say when it will finally settle.
It's not very often in our league that one team will become a dominant force in any given year for more than a year.
Kirby did a great job with our backs during the past year. We hate to lose him but at the same time recognize the opportunity he has and wish him nothing but the best.
Playing in the Dome will be great for us. We have had some great experiences in the Dome. Our fans have been fantastic in there.
He was awesome. He was probably more fired up during the game than anyone.
