00:00The rookies have been showing out at an impressive rate, and another number that I saw here recently was not just the rookies that Drake May has been throwing to,
00:10but the number of receivers that have gotten impressive yardage racked up so far.
00:15It's 300 yards total offense and three touchdowns for six different guys.
00:20Yeah, I mean, so it's like everybody seems to be contributing, and of course, you know, based on what we were just talking about, the rookies too.
00:28It seems like this is like a real team effort.
00:32Yeah, and both on and off the record, Hardy, one of the important things to remember here is none of the receivers are making a stink if they don't get the ball over a game or two or three.
00:41We've seen this the last couple years.
00:43I remember last year, Pop Douglas, early in the season, kind of, you know, made some noise about not getting as many touches as he'd like,
00:51but this year right now, the way things are set up, it's a really great room of receivers,
00:56and a lot of that comes from the top when you talk about a guy like Stefan Diggs.
01:00I think the perfect phrase that I've heard used to describe Diggs here in New England is from Pop,
01:08who said, look, he doesn't tell you what you want to hear.
01:10He tells you what you need to hear, and I think that attitude has really permeated through the New England wide receivers locker room.
01:18You thought that they were going to kind of miss a beat a little bit last week when they didn't have booty,
01:22but you had a guy like Matt Collins step up.
01:25You had Diggs with that big touchdown catch at the end of the first quarter.
01:28You had Kyle Williams with a 72-yard touchdown catch.
01:31So, again, all of these receivers continue to contribute, as well as a guy like Matt Collins.
01:36Let's not lose sight of a guy like Matt Collins, who is really kind of stepped into that role of the X receiver
01:42when Keyshawn Booty went down last week.
01:45It's all really coming together nicely for that room this year.
