00:00 You gave me a perfect segue into the next part I wanted to talk about is with Sam Watkins going
00:04 down. Who do you think is going to be the number three, the number three target for the Chiefs?
00:09 It's crazy. I'm with the entirety of Chiefs kingdom when I say I want to see Byron Pringle
00:19 at X wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs the next few games.
00:23 What a story.
00:24 I like Robinson. Robinson's one of the best run blocking wide receivers I've seen. He's really
00:31 good at downfield blocking. As an actual wide receiver he's just so-so, especially because of
00:36 the drop problems. Mecole Hardman, I like him as a talent. He's incredibly fast, incredibly elusive
00:44 in the open field. He's a project wide receiver and we knew that when we drafted him. He was not
00:50 a wide receiver for very long at Georgia. He's only 22 years old. I don't think he has the chops
00:55 to be the X wide receiver for the Chiefs yet. Asked too much from a skill set he doesn't have.
01:01 But one wide receiver that did excel at X wide receiver when Sammy Watkins was also injured in
01:07 2019 was Byron Pringle, who in the Colts game had a career day when he was playing that role.
01:14 I would love for them to maybe give him a look there. They might give him a serious look this
01:19 week at practice. We'll see how that goes and we'll see who lines up there this weekend. As
01:23 far as I'm concerned, I would like him to at least take Sammy Watkins' spot. I don't know if he'd be
01:27 the third target, but as far as what Sammy Watkins played, I would like to see Pringle.
01:33 Andy Reid in his press conference on Monday said that Mecole Hardman got some snaps with the one,
01:39 but he also said, as a quote, he said, "Mecole just needs to keep growing and keep working."
01:43 That's the first thing he said when talking about Mecole Hardman. I don't think Mecole
01:48 Hardman is going to be that number three receiver that it seems like everyone in Chiefs Kingdom
01:52 wants him to be. Maybe Ken Swanson is the guy really banging the Mecole Hardman is
01:58 the Anthony Thomas drum, which, you know, was it you and I last week talking about Dexter McCluster?
02:04 Dexter McCluster. Yeah. So he seems to be encroaching closer and closer in that territory.
02:11 I would also, this is a perfect time for them to get CH involved more in the passing game.
