00:00What do you make of both Kendrick Bourne being inactive last week with the idea of playing

00:05younger guys, but then also KJ Osborne getting the second most wide receiver snaps?

00:11I think it's two different things are at play here. One, they want to get younger guys,

00:17the ball more often. And I think we saw that with Keisha on booty and Demario Douglas,

00:22but the guys who are not on their details. And I think that we've seen over the course

00:28of time, as lovable as Kendrick Bourne is, he's not a detail-oriented fella. I think

00:34it's the general perception within the organization. He's well-meaning, happy, and productive as

00:39he can sometimes be. He just is prone to mistakes. So on one hand, you don't see Jayvon Baker,

00:48Tyquan Thornton is completely in mothballs now, but they're moving. You have to have

00:53somebody out there in terms of you have to have three wide outs. So they have the two

00:58tight ends. So Demario Douglas, Keisha on booty and KJ Osborne are your three that you're

01:07going to put up and you're going to more or less pound the ball to the two tight ends,

01:11Hooper and Henry, and then to Demario Douglas and Keisha on booty, because they're your

01:16best players. And oh, excuse me, Kaelin Polk. I left him out of that conversation too, but

01:20I really think Keisha on booty is their best wide receiver, and he'll probably still be

01:24the best wide receiver even when Kaelin Polk improves. I just think he's a better player.

01:28No, we were talking about this yesterday. I think that's a shift for Keith and myself

01:33as well. We both take him as the number one guy over Pop Douglas at this point.
