00:00I think most of the wide receivers on this team wish that they were in a better offense.

00:03I think that's probably part of it, you know, I think that's not the whole thing, but that's

00:07part of it.

00:08Well, guess what?

00:09This offense wishes they had better wide receivers.

00:10Exactly.

00:11Mutual relationship.

00:12A hundred percent.

00:13You know, you're as good as you're as good as what you are, you know, like that, that,

00:16that's really what happened to opportunity.

00:18This guy in particular, KJ Osborne, I was sold that this is a guy that's better than

00:22his opportunities.

00:24He was buried in Minnesota behind Justin Jefferson and Addison and those guys.

00:28What happened to that idea?

00:30We realized he wasn't buried, right?

00:32He was who he is.

00:33Yep.

00:34He is who he was.

00:35He's just a complimentary journeyman veteran receiver.

00:37And maybe as a complimentary piece, that's where he would excel in the NFL.

00:41Not here.

00:42Not here where you had a bunch of fives all sort of competing to see if any one of them

00:45could be a number one.

00:47That's really what you have.

00:48That's what you've had this entire season, including the rookies, including everybody

00:50else.

00:51Kendrick Bourne, Keyshawn Booty, I mean, these are guys who are your leading receivers this

00:55year and are not taught.

00:59You know, I don't even know if I'd have them in a top three on most teams.

01:02Most teams have two good wide receivers.

01:04Yes.

01:05You don't have any.

01:06And I think that in general, I mean, we've gone over this enough times, but it's not

01:09even like you have a collection of number twos and none of them have what it takes to

01:13be a number one.

01:14You have a collection of fives and I don't know if any of them have what it takes to

01:16be a number three.

01:17Right.

01:18You have a legitimate collection of receivers that might not be a starter on any teams,

01:23including your own.

01:24If you didn't have to start.

01:25Right.

01:26The the bloom is off Pop Douglas a little bit.

01:27He was the the best option.

01:30And Kendrick Bourne, I think, needs to prove he can get the bloom back to where he was

01:34when he first arrived here.

01:35And people thought he was Debo Light and Debo Cheap and Debo whatever East Coast Debo and

01:39all those things.

01:40The closest thing you had to a playmaker, remember when people were saying that?

01:43And I was one of those people.

01:44I'm not just pointing fingers at some have said I thought he was the closest.

01:48Many people are saying he is the closest to a playmaker that you had.

01:51I thought that.

01:52And he's had the injury and coming back and all.

01:54Maybe next year you'll find out he still has some playmaking ability.

01:58But yeah, Mike Giardi has been right for multiple years here about the whole sort of stink,

02:02stank, stunk nature of the wide receiver position.

02:05Pop Douglas is on pace for 650 yards receiving this year.

02:09That will be number one for Patriots wide receivers.
