Hopefully Jacob Tamme will get to use his talents more for the Indianapolis Colts this year.

Jacob Tamme says the offense has been "great" for him, but he's also glad he knows more about what to expect when the Indianapolis Colts report for preseason training camp Aug. 2.

"The first practice this summer I was lined up in the backfield. Last year, I would have been blown away doing that," said Tamme, a second-year tight end. "There are so many intricacies of this offense that it's hard to even explain. That's why just knowing what to expect is going to help so much this year."

The Colts made Tamme, a Boyle County native, a fourth-round draft pick last year after his stellar career at Kentucky ended. He had a limited role with in his rookie season as a backup to Dallas Clark, one of the NFL's premier tight ends. He had three catches for 12 yards in 12 games and also played on special teams.

"I certainly hope my role will be different and expanded," said Tamme, who vacationed with his family in Florida last week. "I hope I play a lot more. It's just a matter of staying healthy and earning the playing time. I've got to be ready to play at any time and take advantage of any opportunity I get.
