How much do 51 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: you have to kind of keep his head on strength? 52 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: They can get to a young guy. I know we 53 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: had to battle some of that in college as well. 54 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: How much do you have to kind of get inside 55 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: above the shoulders with him to make sure he's still 56 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: good A lot?

I mean, you're you're not injured. 61 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: I mean the thing, the thing it. Think about it, 62 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: at this level, once you step out on the field, 63 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: all the injury stuff is out the door. If we 64 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: feel like you're you're healthy, you gotta play to little 65 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: viscus your notes potential.

Que and Cole's catching a bunch 73 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: of balls this year and obviously had a punt return 74 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: touchdown in Green Bay as well. You've seen him develop 75 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years here, Well, what's different 76 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: about this time around? I think we've asked you this 77 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: before this season, but he just continues to perform this year. 78 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: You know what he's He's a guy that takes advantage 79 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: of every opportunity. Uh. He has. He enjoys playing football, 80 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: and you see him on special teams.

Yeah, 82 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: I mean he enjoys playing football, and that's what I 83 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: love about him. I mean, every day he comes to work, 84 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, he runs all day. Um, you know, I 85 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: just keep telling me. I said, every time you step 86 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, feel you're being evaluated, whether you're at receiver, 87 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: at anything. They want to see how hard you're playing. 88 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: And my thing to him is to play hard because 89 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: you're your athletic ability and talent to show up if 90 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: you're playing hard. How bad does this team needed a win? 91 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: We needed bad? I mean, uh, you know, being in 92 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: that locker room, you understand, you know, when you get 93 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: a losing streak. I've been in that locker room and 94 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: just one win to get that bad taste out of 95 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: your mouth, you know.
