He is kind oflike (Josh Freeman) when it comes to that. He is a hard kid to yellat. Even when he makes a mistake, how (is he) supposed to knowthat? You get teachable moments with him, and he is a joy and apleasure to work with."I don't even know if I have ever seen him raise his voice otherthan on the football field.

But he's yet to put together consistent performances, and it's telling that the team lost three games in which it had the ball and a chance to win in the final minutes.Kolb's struggles are most evident when he he's in the pocket. He appears unsure at times when and where receivers are going to come open. He has a tendency to leave the pocket too early, before his deep receivers have a chance to come open.Kolb's mobility is a blessing and a cu ……
