00:00I believe I saw this set a career high for receiving yards.

00:04He did.

00:04Which felt like, oh, that didn't, I feel like he's had good games before.

00:08Like it's just kind of quietly.

00:10Yeah, quiet career high.

00:10But that's kind of what I've been doing with Hunter Henry is ignoring all the quiet games he has, which are good games.

00:20Right.

00:20Solid games, consistency.

00:22Give me consistency over anything else.

00:25You know, you don't have to like wow me all the time or every now.

00:30Give me a guy that I know I can count on every single week to do his job.

00:35Parcells famously said in one of our meetings, look, I want to know what I'm going to get from every guy every week.

00:43So if you're an average player, I expect you to play average.

00:45I expect you to play up to what you have shown me.

00:48If you're a great player, I don't want a great game one day or one week and then a bad game the next.

00:53I want you to play great every week.

00:55This is the guy that I would say plays up to his potential every single week.

01:00He's third on the team in the reception yards.

01:03He just you count on him every single week.

01:05He doesn't get injured.

01:06I become the biggest fan of Hunter Henry.

01:09So I was sorry, Hunter, if you're listening, that I was ever critical of you.

01:13I apologize because this guy is money, money, money, money.
