Like, they have an ability above most other receivers.

The teams are built different, though, Dan. And I disagree on the Hollywood Brown thing. I think receivers need to be. Like receiving cores need to be right-sized. There are very few receivers who are number ones, true number ones to me, that can just line up and win.

And when I think of a number one receiver, I think of a guy who just go up there and say, hey, it's third and six, we have to throw a slant for a first down. Everybody knows you're getting it. It's one-on-one, can that guy stop you? Or a go ball. And in contested situations in 50-50 or whatever, more times than not you win. Like A.J. Brown to me, number one receiver.

You cannot guard him one-on-one. Clear disadvantage. You will not win. It does not matter who is throwing the football. More times than not he's going to win. Hollywood Brown being in the Baltimore Ravens as a number one, he was never a true number one to me. And there's a lot of receivers we can go down in. George Pickens is not a number one receiver to me. He's a number two.

They're very similar to the receiving core for the Kansas City Chiefs.

What I'm saying is I don't. Gauge how good a receiving court is based on how good your top guy is. Most teams that win the Super Bowl don't have solidified number ones for a reason. Because a number one receiver should be the guy that's open. So when you look at the receiving court Josh Allen has, there's a reason why they are better this year than they were with Steph Diggs a year ago.

Because he is not feeling forced or pressured into throwing to a guy because I have to get you touches. I have to get you the ball in this situation. And also, you hear the Amari Cooper interview from this week where he's like, I'm fine with my role. He's had like eight receptions in the last five weeks because it doesn't matter. If we need it, we'll get to it.

is not a guy that should be a household name the way that he is. Josh Allen has not only elevated him, he's playing his role within the receiving core the right way.

When they traded for Cooper, I said it was the most impactful receiver trade of all of them. Devontae Adams, as well as DeAndre Hopkins, for the same reasons you said. What they needed in their role as a receiving court that they did not have was a true route runner who can beat man coverage. So when that comes up, he has now the ability to get open.

The first time the Bills played the Ravens, none of those guys could get open because they are not true route runners, they're not separators, they're not one-on-one, let me create separation for my quarterback. The last time they played the Chiefs, Amari Cooper is the one with the balls down the field because he's running the routes to get open. He's also getting the go balls.

And so when I'm talking about Amari Cooper versus DeAndre Hopkins, I'm not talking about Hopkins is the same DeAndre Hopkins that he's been at his height. I'm saying for what he's going to be asked to do with the Kansas City Chiefs, he can still operate that at a high level because he's the possession guy.
