| 0:00.0 | Trent Williams was not the topic that stood out to me watching John Lynch talk, |
| 0:03.8 | even though I know rightfully it's the thing that most of you are texting your buddies about. |
| 0:07.6 | I thought the thing that seemed like the biggest frustration to him, |
| 0:11.3 | and they're going to have to find a way to address it because I don't think John Jennings is going to be the answer, is receiver. |
| 0:18.5 | They got no snaps from Jacob Cowling on offense. |
| 0:21.9 | They got, what, six targets from Jordan Watkins. |

| 1:16.7 | the best receivers in the league his production numbers with that doesn't mean he was one of the |
| 1:19.7 | best receivers but I think he was one of the best receivers when healthy but I don't think |
| 1:24.2 | they can go into a year next year with him as their best receiver relying on |
| 1:29.6 | him to be their best receiver. I think what's crazy about it was frustrating about it for them, |
