Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Kyle Brandt, a native of Chicago, massive news for the Bears.
Speaker 3: In the future of Caleb Williams.
Speaker 4: It takes a lot to have an interior lineman trade
Speaker 4: to a losing team and all of us be.
Speaker 3: Like, whoa yeah, and that is just that.
Speaker 4: First of all, the Chiefs fans, they just saw that
Speaker 4: homes running for his life in the Super Bowl. They
Speaker 4: couldn't protect him. Now they lose one of their best line.
Speaker 4: But this is a Bear story. Joe Toney in regard
Speaker 4: as one of the best overall offensive linemen the entire league.
Speaker 4: This is Ben Johnson, This is Ryan Poles. And you
Speaker 4: know it's funny you mentioned Caleb, and of course it
Speaker 4: is about Caleb.
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson is going to run the ball. Look at
Speaker 3: the Lions offense.
Speaker 4: The last two years they run and they had an
Speaker 4: awesome offensive line.
Speaker 3: I love this move it is. It feels like old
Speaker 3: fashioned Bears. They're not done with that running game. Either.
Speaker 4: They're going to add I think a big name running
Speaker 4: back in free agency or the draft. They will have
Speaker 4: at least two guys carrying the ball. And Joe tone
Speaker 4: you will be blocking form. It's a great day for
Speaker 4: the Bears.
Speaker 3: We've been waiting for Bejon Robinson in Atlanta.
Speaker 4: And it's a little unfair because let me explain myself,
Speaker 4: and that's why I have the plus.
Speaker 3: Jam I'm gonna put you on the spot.
Speaker 4: How many rushing yards you think John Robinson had last year?
Speaker 3: What do you think? I appear. I don't think it's
Speaker 3: very exciting.
Speaker 2: I think it's like seven hundred something.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm glad you said that John Robinson at fourteen
Speaker 4: hundred yards. Oh what, Sorry, that's perfect, Jamie. Sorry, I
Speaker 4: think it was if it's possible at quiet fourteen hundred yards.
Speaker 4: It's a team that wasn't nationally exposed very much in
Speaker 4: the second half of the season. They kind of fell
Speaker 4: apart and Bijon went to work a lot of carries,
Speaker 4: a lot of yards, and yet I.
Speaker 3: Still don't look us up to this potential.
Speaker 4: B Jon Robinson has eighteen hundred yard potential and that's
Speaker 4: what I'm waiting for. And I look at him, it's
Speaker 4: like we look for years. We're still looking at his
Speaker 4: teammate Kyle Pitts, and like Pitts.
Speaker 3: Should redefine the position. He should take over the league.
Speaker 4: He should be the number one player on the top
Speaker 4: one hundred. And he's a nice player and he's working
Speaker 4: hard at getting better. But if there's that potential there
Speaker 4: and Jamie I could not have said it more perfectly.
Speaker 4: I google how many yards of the Beasi and Robinson.
Speaker 3: Offs yere, I'm like, what the hell is this right?
Speaker 3: This is possibly right?
Speaker 4: Fourteen fifty six and then another four hundred plus receiving.
Speaker 4: He had a monster statistical year. And yet if you
Speaker 4: don't agree, they're gonna put this out on social media.
Speaker 4: What are you talking about? The Falcons fans It doesn't
Speaker 4: know ball. I do, and I see him play it
Speaker 4: and he can do even better. Bijon Plus this year,
Speaker 4: Miles Garrett has given them eight incredible years.
Speaker 3: Eight years.
Speaker 4: He's been amazing. They haven't done squat in that time.
Speaker 4: They've accomplished really anything. He made the playoffs with Joe Flacco.
Speaker 4: You know what's wrong with Myles?
Speaker 3: Hold on? I second, what's wrong with them? Saying?
Speaker 4: All right, Miles was great, we loved him. There's a
Speaker 4: chance that he only has another year or two left
Speaker 4: of elite play it.
Speaker 3: Why not trade him right now?
Speaker 4: When the stock is this high and then just screwtch
Speaker 4: go full on rebuild.
Speaker 3: Is that what's wrong with them? I like Max doing it.
Speaker 3: I like Max picking up for the Raiders because I
Speaker 3: like on the Raiders. I don't see Rogers going to
Speaker 3: the Raiders. Looks, haven't we seen this movie before?
Speaker 4: You go to an AFC team that has struggled for
Speaker 4: a long time to find a quarterback who's hungry, who
Speaker 4: has some nice weapons, and they have some money to spend.
Speaker 3: We just saw this two years ago.
Speaker 4: The Raiders have a lot of the same stink on
Speaker 4: them that the Jets have had.
Speaker 3: This is not some perennial winner. This is not a
Speaker 3: team that is in the playoffs every year. It's Roger.
Speaker 4: If you're Rogers, you're not going for one final season
Speaker 4: twenty one so you can go six and eleven to
Speaker 4: get your head.
Speaker 3: Kicked in as a Raider at the end of the season.
Speaker 3: That's not what it's about.
Speaker 4: And that's why personally, I think Rodgers is really interested
Speaker 4: in the Rams because Rams are the opt right.
Speaker 3: Rams are going places. Never mind the LA thing.
Speaker 4: Just the Rams are very good, and they're good every
Speaker 4: single year.
Speaker 3: Not to mention you think Rogers wants to jump into
Speaker 3: the AFC.
Speaker 4: West and like go against Mahomes and lose to him
Speaker 4: and all the things they have gone. I just it
Speaker 4: doesn't seem like if you're planning like one final like
Speaker 4: sweetheart year at the end of a Hall of Fame career.
Speaker 3: This sounds terrible. I really do think it does.
Speaker 4: Not to mention, and I said this before, and I'm
Speaker 4: trying to be a diplomatic here, I don't think Aaron
Speaker 4: Rodgers and Tom Brady are best friends, and I don't
Speaker 4: think they hate each other. I just don't think that
Speaker 4: they're boys. That's my intuition, and that's a little bit
Speaker 4: of my insight that I know for a fact not
Speaker 4: only not best friends. Rogers is not Darnold, he is
Speaker 4: a god. He is a legend. Brady is a god.
Speaker 3: He's a legend.
Speaker 4: There's egos involved, there's legacies involved, and there's things involved
Speaker 4: where I don't know if Aaron Rodgers wants to be
Speaker 4: Tom Brady's little project as a new owner. There's something
Speaker 4: going on there big picture that I don't think would
Speaker 4: go well for number eight in the Jets right there,
Speaker 4: number twelve for the Raiders. There's everything about it that
Speaker 4: to not like a couple things to like, Sure we
Speaker 4: love Pete Carroll, who knows if that'll work.
Speaker 3: Sure we love some of the talent I can't ever see.
Speaker 3: You're in Rogers Corner.
Speaker 4: You're like, you know, you should do Man for your
Speaker 4: last year. Let's go to the Raiders because they're always good.
Speaker 4: Like it sounds like like one of the worst ideas
Speaker 4: in the history of bad ideas.
Speaker 3: I don't like it at all.
Speaker 4: Chris Paul was going to be traded to the Laker
Speaker 4: years ago, and David starring the Late David was like, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: that's what we got. We got these other teams that
Speaker 4: are trying to win too. If you just if you
Speaker 4: like if you were in the NFC East, or you're
Speaker 4: a quarterback and you wake up in the morning and
Speaker 4: you see en rap.
Speaker 3: Sheet, like, what are we doing?
Speaker 4: Yeh, you're telling me Miles Garrett on the Eagles, Now,
Speaker 4: how is the yeah, yeah, sweat and all those guys.
Speaker 4: I'm with you a lot on this.
Speaker 3: Cody is that. I think it's funny. I'm listening to
Speaker 3: rap sheet and he's saying, I'm.
Speaker 4: Told that the Eagles we reward our best players. Was
Speaker 4: a sound bite. And that's like the Eagles are just
Speaker 4: putting that out there. They're like on a mega mo. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we reward our best players like that is smart, smart
Speaker 4: business to let everyone know we pay our guys. Understand
Speaker 4: that if you were to come here and you do
Speaker 4: great things, we'll pay you and your team won't.
Speaker 3: And you know it.
Speaker 4: Howie Roseman had a hell of a SoundBite. You guys
Speaker 4: probably saw it. And I think he was talking to
Speaker 4: Todd McShay and he was talking about winning his first
Speaker 4: super Bowl winning his.
Speaker 3: Second super Bowl.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna like slip a disc trying to clean this up.
Speaker 4: So he basically said some morning. So I'm not going
Speaker 4: to say what he said, but the GM of the
Speaker 4: Eagle said, when you win your super Bowl, it's like
Speaker 4: your first time and you're just happy to be there.
Speaker 4: It's incredible, I did it. But when you win your
Speaker 4: second one, you're like, wow, it's much more enjoyable.
Speaker 3: All right, everybody catch my drift tomorrow. You look totally lost. Yeah,
Speaker 3: first time.
Speaker 4: I just think though that like after the second time,
Speaker 4: someone might be like, whatever, this is easy now.
Speaker 3: Not him. How He's like, no, I'm going to get
Speaker 3: right to work on the third time. You see what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. That's smart. And by the way, how are
Speaker 3: you dog? I have no idea where that came from.
Speaker 4: The second he could be sitting here right now smoking cigars,
Speaker 4: kind of mailing in the combine.
Speaker 3: How is it made?
Speaker 4: Guy's got two Super Bowl rings, everybody loves him, got.
Speaker 3: A huge roster.
Speaker 4: I love that he's like, not enough, not enough, get more.
Speaker 4: Pay this guy.
Speaker 3: It's an incredible way to approach things.
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people take a psychological victory lap,
Speaker 4: and that's why you don't see a lot of back
Speaker 4: to back champions.
Speaker 3: They're getting ready to work on this. But here's what's farce.
Speaker 3: These people are like Saquon and the Eagles. They're changing
Speaker 3: the running back industry. They're back. Everyone's gonna get paid. No,
Speaker 3: they're not.
Speaker 4: If you have Saquon, you get paid. As long as
Speaker 4: you run for two thousand yards and win the Super Bowl,
Speaker 4: you'll get paid. And I think exhibit A is in
Speaker 4: the AFC East and James Cook with the Buffalo Bills,
Speaker 4: who is sitting there and being like, hello, hello, Sos.
Speaker 4: I'm a homegrown guy that you drafted. I've been here
Speaker 4: three years. I made two Pro Bowls. He's on Twitter.
Speaker 4: Everything it is an emoji, everything is hello this. This
Speaker 4: is the second best player on their team. I think
Speaker 4: by the end of that season, behind out he was amazing.
Speaker 4: And it's like, if you don't pay James Cook, who
Speaker 4: are you gonna pay when he's done everything perfectly right.
Speaker 3: He's your guy, You found him, you raised him.
Speaker 4: Now and they won't do it, or maybe they I
Speaker 4: won't do it yet. But don't assume because Saquon got
Speaker 4: paid that this flimsy storyline of running backs are back
Speaker 4: and now they're gonna all get paid again. If you're Saquan,
Speaker 4: you'll get paid. But apparently for James Cook, who tied
Speaker 4: for the NFL leading touchdowns, and that's a crazy play
Speaker 4: right there.
Speaker 3: That's him trying to get to the ATM. And then
Speaker 3: there's inteful pass. How can I take about sixty bucks? No,
Speaker 3: thirty one? It's like that's him reaching for the.
Speaker 4: Money and it's just getting away from him. It's not
Speaker 4: most intimidating player, it's most intimidating figure. And it's this
Speaker 4: guy right here, Jeff Stoutland Stoutland University Eagles.
Speaker 3: O line coach.
Speaker 4: Because when that guy at Matt scientist lines his guys up.
Speaker 4: He's like, listen, if I want to, I could run quarterbacks,
Speaker 4: sneak on first and ten.
Speaker 3: We can do it thirty times in a row.
Speaker 4: You won't stop it, you know, you know in Timidy
Speaker 4: and I am that my greatest creation.
Speaker 3: For my alignment.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna lose the Hall of Fame center sitting right there.
Speaker 4: I'm still gonna do it the next year. And my
Speaker 4: invention and my musculature is so intimidating that when Kyle's
Speaker 4: away in vacation last week, there's this big news story
Speaker 4: that someone wants to ban the tush push because they're
Speaker 4: too cowardly.
Speaker 3: To be able to stop.
Speaker 4: I'm on vacation last week and I'm reading that story
Speaker 4: about banned the tush push and I'm throwing my phone.
Speaker 3: I'm so mad about it.
Speaker 4: It is so soft, it is so beta, it is
Speaker 4: so weak to do that. It strikes me as you're
Speaker 4: playing your friend and Matt and you found the plate.
Speaker 4: They can't stop either cross flats or weak flood or angle,
Speaker 4: and he's just stop promning that, stop prouning that, stop it,
Speaker 4: stop it. Then I finally he just pulls his controller
Speaker 4: out and turns the power off because they can't stop it.
Speaker 4: I hate that whole story about stopping it. Soft weak
Speaker 4: cowards everything. They invented something that you can't stop that's
Speaker 4: perfectly legal. Don't tell me it's dangerous. I've heard Kelsey
Speaker 4: talk about it himself. A conventional run play up the
Speaker 4: middle is more dangerous than that.
Speaker 3: Don't tell me it's not football. I remember Princeton Rutgers
Speaker 3: two hundred years ago. Is we push you push?
Speaker 4: It's the very essence of how this game was invented.
Speaker 4: Don't ever ban it. And I hope they run it
Speaker 4: fifty times down somebody's throat.
Speaker 3: And maybe I hope it's the Packers. I love it.
Speaker 4: Jeff Stotlin, keep doing that thing, just dunking on them.
Speaker 3: I hate that story.
Speaker 2: Can I interest you in the Bosa brothers being in
Speaker 2: the Bay Area?
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on that? When he and Rappaport
Speaker 3: said that.
Speaker 4: It just reminded me of the Paul brothers finally being
Speaker 4: in the ring together. Like it's just it's fine, it's
Speaker 4: absolutely perfect. Honestly, it's really really cool. Above and beyond
Speaker 4: obviously just the fact that they're brothers and we would
Speaker 4: all freak out about it. I mean, Joey Bosa, this
Speaker 4: is hugely significant that this happened.
Speaker 3: Joey Bosa is one of the greatest Chargers ever. I mean,
Speaker 3: he is a.
Speaker 4: Fantastic, fantastic player, and if San Francisco were to somehow
Speaker 4: add him, it amounts to so much more than just
Speaker 4: a novelty of two brothers.
Speaker 3: It's an unbelievable pass rush, and we were at this
Speaker 3: place as a show.
Speaker 4: I think with San Francisco about I don't know, where
Speaker 4: are you guys right now?
Speaker 3: It's a little strange. What is the plan? Are you
Speaker 3: just going to be one of these midlean teams next year?
Speaker 4: You never look at San Francisco like that. They're too
Speaker 4: well coached. They have too many good players, So you
Speaker 4: pay attention when a player that good goes to a
Speaker 4: team that has had that much success. The Chargers had
Speaker 4: to do it for money, and Harbaugh has a whole
Speaker 4: thing he's doing there. I get it, it's fine. I'm
Speaker 4: much more intrigued about where he lands because we showed
Speaker 4: Khalil Mack there. Think about what Khalil Mack has done
Speaker 4: in his second and third stop. Sometimes these pass rushers
Speaker 4: land somewhere and just take off. Plus, Like Frankly, it'd
Speaker 4: be absolutely incredible to have Jay Bosa and En Bosa
Speaker 4: on the same team on the same pass rules. So
Speaker 4: it's an exciting time to be a Cowboys fan. Actually,
Speaker 4: the expectations are low. There's a new coach, there's a
Speaker 4: new future, and what are the Cowboys need to do? Guys,
Speaker 4: I'm going to really impress you here. This is a
Speaker 4: twenty dollar bill. This is my per diem I get
Speaker 4: from the network. Okay, the Cowboys have literally millions of these.
Speaker 4: What you want to do is you want to take them,
Speaker 4: hand them to young athletes in exchange.
Speaker 3: For goods and services.
Speaker 4: Okay, don't burn it, invest it, spend it.
Speaker 3: For the love of.
Speaker 4: God, you can't take it with you, Jerry, we know
Speaker 4: what happened last year. They were the lowest spenders in
Speaker 4: free agency by far. They had barely half of what
Speaker 4: the next lowest spenders did. They just sat there and
Speaker 4: they hoarded it all, and then they had a terrible
Speaker 4: season and extended their streak of not even making it
Speaker 4: to a title game. Let's look at the history though.
Speaker 4: You think this is the year free agents, let's go.
Speaker 4: Let's let me make splashes. In the last fifteen years.
Speaker 4: Fifteen years, the Dallas Cowboys have signed one free agent
Speaker 4: who made a Pro Bowl. That free agent was Brian Anger. Guys,
Speaker 4: he plays punter.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 4: Fifteen years Pro Bowl free agent punter. This is in
Speaker 4: the now post Saquon era, in which their arch rival
Speaker 4: just won the Super signed a free agent two thousand
Speaker 4: and seven. Then you have to go back to Leonard
Speaker 4: Davis as a free agent. You want to look in
Speaker 4: for a free agent home run. He played four of
Speaker 4: his seven contract years and he's a guard before now
Speaker 4: you have to go to Tarry Loans and guys. That's like,
Speaker 4: I'm just getting out of college at this point. This
Speaker 4: is how long we're talking about it. As we see
Speaker 4: these fans who just watch the damn Eagles win the
Speaker 4: Super Bowl and the Commanders have a dream season.
Speaker 3: Jerry, let's go.
Speaker 4: He has told this show that he said in his
Speaker 4: Jerry Charms that my hand doesn't cramp.
Speaker 3: Up when I write checks. Well, maybe we should check out.
Speaker 4: I think maybe Jerry might need some elector lights or
Speaker 4: like some bananas or something like that, because the hand
Speaker 4: is cramping and if you didn't do it last year,
Speaker 4: and you haven't signed a Pro Bowl free agent since
Speaker 4: a punter? What are we waiting for? The Cowboys? Are
Speaker 4: this elderly person in your life? Do you know one
Speaker 4: who they're They're terrified to spend any money and they
Speaker 4: don't even want to go out and buy.
Speaker 3: A sandwich, let alone, go on a vacation. You're like,
Speaker 3: you've saved your whole life. We checked the finances. You're good,
Speaker 3: You're comfortable.
Speaker 4: No, I just I think I should just say here
Speaker 4: and set on my couch and watch reruns Cowboys get
Speaker 4: out there live. The wide receiver says, I can't do
Speaker 4: it alone, and he's right, go fight fire with fire.
Speaker 4: And I can't believe that. To tell the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 4: America's team, spend some money, Go treat yourself.
Speaker 3: You've earned it. It will work, Give it a try.
Speaker 2: What has you most intrigued right now? As we enter
Speaker 2: into the wild wild West of guys that are about
Speaker 2: to get paid and on different teams.
Speaker 3: The quarterbacks, I have no idea where the hell they're going.
Speaker 3: This is going to be so fun. Buckle up. This
Speaker 3: is not a quarterback carousel.
Speaker 4: This is a vomit comment like this crazy carnival ride
Speaker 4: where people are puke and funnel cakes on the side.
Speaker 4: I don't get how it's gonna happen. Here's why I
Speaker 4: look at this this draft. It doesn't have a ton
Speaker 4: of great quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: I look at that as fun.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be wild because of the scarcity and because
Speaker 4: of the desperation.
Speaker 3: It's like people showing up in the eighties.
Speaker 4: To buy cabbage pass because with baseball bat so they
Speaker 4: get hit other people trying to take them. You need
Speaker 4: to get your quarterback, and there aren't that many. This
Speaker 4: saint the twenty twenty four draft. Just go with me
Speaker 4: through the first seven picks of the draft. Tennessee needs one,
Speaker 4: Cleveland needs one, The Giants need one, the Pats and
Speaker 4: Jags don't.
Speaker 3: The Raiders need one, the Jets need one.
Speaker 4: I have five teams in the top seven who I
Speaker 4: think need a franchise quarterback. So the way it's supposed
Speaker 4: to work, and this is such perversely disgusting for me,
Speaker 4: but you're supposed to get a quarterback if you have
Speaker 4: a crappy season. You sucked, you got destroyed, the fans
Speaker 4: got mad, people got fired. But it's okay because you're
Speaker 4: gonna get a franchise quarterback, and if you show up
Speaker 4: last year, take your pick. Take Jaden, take Caleb, take Drake,
Speaker 4: take two of them if you want.
Speaker 3: We have so many. We got some in the back
Speaker 3: for you. Now it's like, all right, cam Ward's gonna
Speaker 3: go early. He's gone. Let's say Schadur jumps up and
Speaker 3: goes early. That's two. I just said, there's five teams
Speaker 3: that need quarterbacks. So then you go, all right. Free agents,
Speaker 3: I'm not crazy about Sam Donald.
Speaker 4: I don't want all right. So if you know not, like,
Speaker 4: do you want Russell Wilson? Do you want to go
Speaker 4: into Aaron Rodgers? Do you want James? Do you want
Speaker 4: any of them? You have to pick one.
Speaker 3: No, there's no either from the draft or free agency.
Speaker 3: You can't say nobody.
Speaker 4: Those are going to be starting quarterbacks next year. It
Speaker 4: is so different from last year. And I think it's
Speaker 4: gonna be volatile, aggressive. There's gonna be some backstabbing. People
Speaker 4: need their quarterbacks. It's like depriving them of water. If
Speaker 4: you deprive people of water, it's gonna get nuts.
Speaker 3: And here we are.
Speaker 4: It is not a carousel, it's a vomit commet and
Speaker 4: we're sub fifty days free agency frenzy.
Speaker 3: I call it Jamie. This friends is gonna be insane.
Speaker 4: People are gonna get hurt feelings, maybe hurt eye sockets.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be punches thrown. Get Ready.
