There's something to be said getting into a rythm. I'm not saying he shouldn't have caught the ball, but we need to get these guys warmed up.

You know, there might be something to be said for that.

I think he was a little distracted with all his family and friends being in attendance, at least he caught that onside kick

It means, getting a players head in the game by getting him some catches early and often. Crabtree had the same problem last year when they threw him the ball once in a blue. It's the same concept as "warming up."

The fumble was a product of him trying to hard because he probably doesn't think he'll get many more looks/chances. The long ball drop was just a bad play by Davis, but it happens.

Vernon needs to step it up, highest paid tight end in football.

Vernon doesn't struggle with those types of throws. Where he does struggle is the over the shoulder passes. One thing that I've noticed is that he never catches those throws with his hands -- he always uses his arms to cradle the ball.
