The coaches used rookie James Casey at tight end and at fullback. He had two catches for 28 yards, including one for 21 yards. At fullback, he was the lead blocker on a few running plays.
“On third-and-one on the goal line, he had a poor play there, but he's shown the willingness to do the job at the point of attack for a guy who's never done it,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “He's got great hands. He made a couple of great catches when he really got hit.
“His versatility is going to be a big part of this team. We've got a lot of confidence in him. The thing I'm most pleased with is how he's playing (on special teams). He probably got as many corrections in his special teams meetings the first two weeks of camp that I've ever seen. He's responded well.”
