With Bill Coward, bro, if you didn't ball on special teams, you wasn't even getting a chance to start.

Opportunity I had, like I had to make special teams.

I had to start on every special teams and I had to do well from there.

Now you got an opportunity that, OK, now you're the backup.

Sorry.

Now you're now you're the now you're the backup to, you know, to the one.

And if he gets hurt, something happens.

Now you get the spot start.

Now you get that opportunity where you get to get in there, and now you get to go into an actual game against ones, and now it's not practice anymore.

So now that elevation of game, I think what he's trying to say is that guys that are on practice squad –

It's some guys that practice, and their game and their practice stays the same.

They can't elevate to the next level, okay?

So when they practice, you see them in practice, and you're like, damn, he's doing good.

He's doing great.

Now you go and you get into the game, and you're like, why is he doing as well?

Because his practice doesn't elevate from there when he gets into a game, where a lot of guys, it's like, all right, I could go as hard as I want in practice, but it still ain't going to be how hard I can go in there.

the game it's just not there the adrenaline and the flow everything is not there but the harder you go in practice the harder you'll be able to go into the game and the higher you can elevate some guys can't do that i think that may be something that he's trying to say like oh guy just can't elevate from one level and i think too when you're on the practice squad stuff just mentally when you're a quarterback you're tom brady and you're on the offensive side and you're a wide receiver for them you better if you're not running the routes if you're not able to adjust and when tom brady giving you these checks and this whole playbook

You'll get cut instantly.

So he's like, I'd rather stay on the practice side where I'm just doing the card.

They show me the card.
