Hello, I am Matt Williamson. How's it going? We are wrapping up the week here, a hot week.

0:12.2

With your mailbags. I told you yesterday, I wanted to mailbag it up yesterday, but I was a little late sending out the bat signal.

0:19.4

But got lots of good questions in the meantime.

0:22.0

Let's just dig right in here.

0:24.2

You know it's true, though, asked, did they not learn from only having one special receiver last year

0:30.6

to how teams can scheme against, not to mention if wide receiver one goes down?

0:37.6

I think they did learn.

0:38.9

I mean, I don't think, I think trading pickens has been in the cards every step of the way, that he had to go, kind of like Deontay Johnson, that they didn't want him around anymore.

0:56.7

I don't think they look at Metcalf as a one-for-one replacement. Well, I think they do. They're different, even though they're both big and they're

1:01.8

both downfield guys. But I really think we have to be patient about this. And I know we all got

1:09.4

teased about the Ayuk saga last year and all this

stuff. But I really think another receiver of consequence will be added. Now, let's give a time to

1:21.8

react to who that is. I've said for a while, like, if it's Gabe Davis, Romeo Dubs, somebody like that,

1:34.4

eh, okay, if it's a Mari Cooper, I'm a little more intrigued. If they trade for a Christian

1:41.4

Kirk, I'm a lot more intrigued.

1:46.5

Dubs, I guess, would be a little bit better than Davis.

1:55.9

So I absolutely think they've learned from that or even didn't want to get themselves in that situation last year. I mean, it wasn't real, you don't have to be a football expert to realize

2:00.6

that when Pickens went down, they don't have to be a football expert to realize that when

2:01.5

Pickens went down, they became really easy to play against, and that could happen easily.

2:07.7

So I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. I very much believe another receiver will be added.

2:15.3

If not, then I think this is a really valid question. You know,

2:19.3

like, didn't you learn from how bad it could be relying on one guy? And I will say the Arthur
