00:00I would like to see more Henderson.

00:02But in the meantime, with his struggles, with Stevenson's struggles,

00:05with Gibson being hurt, is this a spot where you think they could make a move

00:09in the next few weeks and try to acquire a running back?

00:13Undeniably, it has to be.

00:14That tight end depth, I think, is the other sneaky thing that I would look at.

00:22Offensive line has got some stable backups, it seems like, right now.

00:28But I would definitely say running back, tight end,

00:32not because those guys aren't performing,

00:33but because they're so indispensable, Hooper and Henry.

00:37And then I think I would like to see a little bit more defensive end depth

00:40and edge depth.

00:42So those are three big places.

00:44How big game hunting do you think they'd be doing at running back?

00:48Your colleagues at NBC Sports Boston put together a trade targets list.

00:52It had the Jerome Fords of the world down at the bottom of it,

00:54and then the top were Brees Hall, Alvin Kamara.

00:57Do you think they're looking that big,

00:58or are they just trying to get another body in here?

01:01I think they can be open to anything, which is kind of a cop-out on my part.

01:05But what will it cost for Alvin Kamara?

01:08What will it cost for Brees Hall?

01:11Would Brees Hall even be entertained by the Jets within the division?

01:15And how about while we're there in the division?

01:18That Mike Tomlin blasting of Matthew Berry for keeping Joe Flacco in the division

01:23was unbelievable.

01:23Did you see that?

01:24Yes.

01:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:25Not Matthew Berry.

01:26Andrew Berry.

01:27Andrew Berry.

01:27I was like, wait, the fantasy guy.

01:29Sorry.

01:29I was very confused there for a second.

01:30Yeah, no, he was ripping them.

01:31Yeah, it's good.

01:34But yeah, look, any point in the storm,

01:37you cannot walk around with a running back and a half,

01:40which is basically what they are doing right now,

01:42because relative to what Steven should be able to do,

01:45he's about 50%, 60%, 65% of himself.

01:49Because his forte, I always thought,

01:52was getting to contact and fighting through it.

01:54Now he's afraid to do it.

01:56Understandably so.

01:58But they need another running back, more running backs.

02:02Maybe Terrell Jennings can do it.

02:04I mean, they don't even have a third down back again.

02:06And I thought that Henderson was going to fit into that spot,

02:09which would have been nice,

02:10but they don't have a third down back again.

02:12It's just two guys.
