1 00:00:04,364 --> 00:00:07,244 Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership 2 00:00:07,284 --> 00:00:24,364 Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio, where. 3 00:00:24,164 --> 00:00:25,524 Speaker 2: I come out on the Steeers. What do we make 4 00:00:25,524 --> 00:00:27,884 Speaker 2: of the five and four Steelers right now? The state 5 00:00:27,924 --> 00:00:31,844 Speaker 2: of them and the conversation about them is extremely reactive 6 00:00:32,204 --> 00:00:35,044 Speaker 2: instant on and on NFL news cycle week to week 7 00:00:35,084 --> 00:00:36,804 Speaker 2: to week. I'm not going to sit here and say 8 00:00:36,844 --> 00:00:38,604 Speaker 2: this was a great game against the Charge. It was 9 00:00:38,604 --> 00:00:41,444 Speaker 2: a bad game. It was a bad road trip to California, 10 00:00:41,484 --> 00:00:43,564 Speaker 2: and they got housed for the offense. I thought the 11 00:00:43,604 --> 00:00:46,044 Speaker 2: defense was okay. They held Herbert and check, they didn't 12 00:00:46,044 --> 00:00:47,884 Speaker 2: get run all over. They had, didn't give up any 13 00:00:47,964 --> 00:00:50,484 Speaker 2: huge runs at all. Because remember a month ago, I'm 14 00:00:50,524 --> 00:00:53,524 Speaker 2: old enough to remember, everyone said the Steelers defense was crap. 15 00:00:53,804 --> 00:00:54,924 Speaker 3: But the week to week thing. 16 00:00:54,884 --> 00:00:58,884 Speaker 2: Guys, one week ago, right before the Chargers game, do 17 00:00:58,924 --> 00:01:04,004 Speaker 2: you not remember the Steelers completely housing the Sweetheart Cults. 18 00:01:04,804 --> 00:01:08,844 Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor did nothing in this game. He was completely stuffed. 19 00:01:09,164 --> 00:01:12,884 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones, the story of the year was completely turned 20 00:01:12,924 --> 00:01:15,684 Speaker 2: inside out by the Steelers defense. This was not back 21 00:01:15,724 --> 00:01:18,804 Speaker 2: in Week two, this week nine. Okay, you have to 22 00:01:18,884 --> 00:01:22,124 Speaker 2: at least give them some equity for this game in 23 00:01:22,164 --> 00:01:26,084 Speaker 2: which the number one story team quarterback running back. I 24 00:01:26,124 --> 00:01:27,964 Speaker 2: thought the Colts had the best offensive line in the 25 00:01:28,084 --> 00:01:30,164 Speaker 2: entire league. Why did Daniel Jones have half a second 26 00:01:30,164 --> 00:01:32,484 Speaker 2: against the Steelers front? All right, if you want to 27 00:01:32,524 --> 00:01:35,524 Speaker 2: go quick, reactive, hot take on most teams in the league, 28 00:01:35,564 --> 00:01:37,684 Speaker 2: I would say twenty eight teams in the league. 29 00:01:37,724 --> 00:01:39,564 Speaker 3: Fine, the Steelers organization. 30 00:01:39,604 --> 00:01:41,524 Speaker 2: You've got to give them a little bit of equity 31 00:01:41,524 --> 00:01:43,844 Speaker 2: of yes, that was a bad game, but year after 32 00:01:43,884 --> 00:01:45,484 Speaker 2: year they turned into winning product. And I'm going to 33 00:01:45,524 --> 00:01:47,244 Speaker 2: give him so much equity. I'm going to do something 34 00:01:47,284 --> 00:01:49,164 Speaker 2: that I hate. I'm going to do something that hate. 35 00:01:49,404 --> 00:01:51,164 Speaker 2: I'm going to look at what do they say, you 36 00:01:51,204 --> 00:01:53,324 Speaker 2: either die hero or live long enough to see yourself 37 00:01:53,324 --> 00:01:55,684 Speaker 2: become the villain. I hate the segment where you put 38 00:01:55,724 --> 00:01:58,244 Speaker 2: up a team schedule and just say win loss, win loss. 39 00:01:58,364 --> 00:02:02,204 Speaker 3: I'm doing it. Don't do it right now, Steelers remaining schedule. 40 00:02:02,684 --> 00:02:04,764 Speaker 2: I'm going to do it all right, Starting in the 41 00:02:04,844 --> 00:02:08,084 Speaker 2: upper left, the Bengals. Remember the Steelers are five and four. 42 00:02:08,204 --> 00:02:10,244 Speaker 2: They're gonna win this weekend. That's the Steelers are six 43 00:02:10,284 --> 00:02:13,244 Speaker 2: and four. They're gonna lose at the Bears. They're gonna 44 00:02:13,244 --> 00:02:15,404 Speaker 2: lose to the Bills. They're gonna lose at the Ravens. 45 00:02:15,404 --> 00:02:15,964 Speaker 3: That's not good. 46 00:02:16,044 --> 00:02:17,684 Speaker 2: That puts them at six and seven as we go 47 00:02:17,724 --> 00:02:21,164 Speaker 2: to the right column. But wait, it's the Steelers. It's Tomlin. 48 00:02:21,444 --> 00:02:23,924 Speaker 2: They will beat the Dolphins to get to seven and seven. 49 00:02:24,524 --> 00:02:27,244 Speaker 2: They will lose at Detroit to get to a terrible 50 00:02:27,284 --> 00:02:29,684 Speaker 2: seven and eight. Then they beat the Browns that get 51 00:02:29,684 --> 00:02:32,124 Speaker 2: eight and eighth, and Baltimore likely with nothing. 52 00:02:31,884 --> 00:02:33,924 Speaker 3: To play with. Unless theoth the miraculous happens. 53 00:02:34,044 --> 00:02:36,204 Speaker 2: The Steelers win, gets what the record is boys and 54 00:02:36,244 --> 00:02:40,244 Speaker 2: girls nine and eight, and through some sort of tie 55 00:02:40,284 --> 00:02:43,124 Speaker 2: breaking scenario that may even involve an actual tie in 56 00:02:43,124 --> 00:02:46,444 Speaker 2: somebody's record, the Steelers will be in the wild Card round. 57 00:02:46,644 --> 00:02:49,164 Speaker 2: Take this clip, Save this clip. That was an awful 58 00:02:49,204 --> 00:02:51,284 Speaker 2: trip to the Chargers. That game did not look good. 59 00:02:51,324 --> 00:02:54,844 Speaker 2: Rogers are screaming at people. Rodgers' misster receivers. Nine and 60 00:02:55,044 --> 00:02:57,964 Speaker 2: eight will be there after week eighteen. 61 00:02:58,324 --> 00:03:00,604 Speaker 3: I promise you. I'm saying it live and play it 62 00:03:00,644 --> 00:03:01,084 Speaker 3: back later. 63 00:03:02,484 --> 00:03:04,604 Speaker 2: There's a couple teams that I just implicitly trust. I 64 00:03:04,644 --> 00:03:06,484 Speaker 2: see the logo and I just think they'll be okay. 65 00:03:06,604 --> 00:03:08,564 Speaker 2: Steelers are one of them. I tuck in the opening segment, 66 00:03:08,564 --> 00:03:10,324 Speaker 2: and then I have the crappiest logo of all of us. 67 00:03:10,324 --> 00:03:11,924 Speaker 3: But this is mine. This is the one we started. 68 00:03:12,004 --> 00:03:16,164 Speaker 2: This is my my log It's all right, it's fun. 69 00:03:16,484 --> 00:03:18,364 Speaker 2: I've done way, way, way worse. I love I have 70 00:03:18,404 --> 00:03:21,124 Speaker 2: three and one. The offense has looked really bad the 71 00:03:21,204 --> 00:03:23,284 Speaker 2: last couple of weeks. A couple of things. You have 72 00:03:23,324 --> 00:03:25,164 Speaker 2: the Giants this weekend. I don't know what the hell 73 00:03:25,204 --> 00:03:26,804 Speaker 2: you're getting from them. You know, Jamis is going to 74 00:03:26,884 --> 00:03:28,924 Speaker 2: chuck you a couple so that should be able to 75 00:03:28,924 --> 00:03:31,524 Speaker 2: turn into points for the up of the offense for 76 00:03:31,564 --> 00:03:34,764 Speaker 2: the Packers. But I also, just like I know Packers, 77 00:03:34,844 --> 00:03:38,164 Speaker 2: Twitter is very very confident in their team, bordering on 78 00:03:38,244 --> 00:03:42,044 Speaker 2: that Midwestern arrogance. You got the Bears twice. I've told you, 79 00:03:42,084 --> 00:03:43,924 Speaker 2: guys own the Bears, and Caleb is a bust and 80 00:03:43,964 --> 00:03:46,244 Speaker 2: he's terrible, so you should win both those games. 81 00:03:46,404 --> 00:03:47,924 Speaker 3: You're gonna face JJ McCarthy. 82 00:03:47,924 --> 00:03:49,604 Speaker 2: I'm told he's terrible and he's a bust, and you 83 00:03:49,604 --> 00:03:50,604 Speaker 2: own him, so you should. 84 00:03:50,404 --> 00:03:51,084 Speaker 3: Win that game. 85 00:03:51,484 --> 00:03:52,764 Speaker 2: And then you just got to figure out a couple 86 00:03:52,844 --> 00:03:54,604 Speaker 2: other things that the problem. 87 00:03:54,324 --> 00:03:56,564 Speaker 3: With the Packers is equipment, problem of standards. 88 00:03:57,084 --> 00:03:58,644 Speaker 2: I believe they're going to be in the playoffs, and 89 00:03:58,644 --> 00:04:00,244 Speaker 2: they're like, it has to be a super Bowl season. 90 00:04:00,284 --> 00:04:01,044 Speaker 3: I don't know, does it. 91 00:04:01,044 --> 00:04:03,724 Speaker 2: It never is for you guys, so should be just 92 00:04:03,804 --> 00:04:06,724 Speaker 2: like it always is in playoffs, Jordan Love will suddenly 93 00:04:06,764 --> 00:04:09,204 Speaker 2: start playing well if Lural change some things up. I 94 00:04:09,244 --> 00:04:11,084 Speaker 2: just look at the Packers logan. I'm like, I can't 95 00:04:11,124 --> 00:04:14,804 Speaker 2: see them finishing. I don't know, eight and six and 96 00:04:14,884 --> 00:04:17,204 Speaker 2: one or whatever the hell adds up to seventeen, they'll 97 00:04:17,204 --> 00:04:17,564 Speaker 2: be there. 98 00:04:17,684 --> 00:04:19,604 Speaker 3: The logo is not great, but the team usually is. 99 00:04:20,644 --> 00:04:22,324 Speaker 2: First of all, I think these are two maybe the 100 00:04:22,324 --> 00:04:24,324 Speaker 2: best two teams in the NFL. If the Seahawks win 101 00:04:24,444 --> 00:04:26,484 Speaker 2: this game in the power ranking sense, are they sitting there? 102 00:04:26,524 --> 00:04:29,164 Speaker 2: Is literally the best team out of thirty two. But 103 00:04:29,244 --> 00:04:31,204 Speaker 2: also listen, they may have to go back to that 104 00:04:31,244 --> 00:04:32,284 Speaker 2: stadium in the playoffs. 105 00:04:32,284 --> 00:04:34,484 Speaker 3: They may see this team a second and the third time. 106 00:04:34,724 --> 00:04:36,724 Speaker 2: But my eyes go with all the quarterbacks and all 107 00:04:36,724 --> 00:04:39,124 Speaker 2: the Sam Donald storyline. My eyes go to the coaching 108 00:04:39,564 --> 00:04:42,804 Speaker 2: and my eyes go to that guy who this would be. 109 00:04:42,964 --> 00:04:45,684 Speaker 2: I think a coming out party for him, because Mike 110 00:04:45,764 --> 00:04:48,884 Speaker 2: McDonald would be going against Sean mcvagh. I've said a 111 00:04:48,924 --> 00:04:50,804 Speaker 2: thousand times I think is the number one best coach 112 00:04:50,804 --> 00:04:53,204 Speaker 2: in the NFL. Mike McDonald is one of the most 113 00:04:53,284 --> 00:04:56,124 Speaker 2: unknown coaches in the NFL. I think most people are 114 00:04:56,204 --> 00:04:58,684 Speaker 2: just starting to say his name. I think most people 115 00:04:58,684 --> 00:04:59,404 Speaker 2: can't even. 116 00:04:59,204 --> 00:05:00,004 Speaker 3: Spell his name. 117 00:05:00,244 --> 00:05:03,484 Speaker 2: It's not McDonald's like the quarter powder, which he's It's MacDonald. 118 00:05:03,764 --> 00:05:07,084 Speaker 2: M a is the guy who went to Georgia as 119 00:05:07,084 --> 00:05:09,764 Speaker 2: a college tent, didn't play football, just there as a student. 120 00:05:10,244 --> 00:05:11,964 Speaker 2: Then was on the Georgia coaching staff, and it was 121 00:05:11,964 --> 00:05:14,204 Speaker 2: at Michigan, he was at Baltimore. He's been around forever. 122 00:05:14,684 --> 00:05:16,804 Speaker 2: Do you know he's seventeen and nine as a head 123 00:05:16,804 --> 00:05:19,084 Speaker 2: coach in the NFL over the first season and a half. 124 00:05:19,284 --> 00:05:22,404 Speaker 2: That's brilliant, that's excellent, excellent coaching. 125 00:05:22,924 --> 00:05:24,204 Speaker 3: Seven and two this year. 126 00:05:24,244 --> 00:05:25,964 Speaker 2: And I just think if you were to walk around 127 00:05:26,004 --> 00:05:29,404 Speaker 2: every town, USA and say to anybody walking on the street, 128 00:05:29,484 --> 00:05:32,164 Speaker 2: start naming NFL coaches, how many are you even know 129 00:05:32,164 --> 00:05:33,244 Speaker 2: who Mike McDonald is. 130 00:05:33,444 --> 00:05:35,284 Speaker 3: How many still think that Pete Carroll is the coach 131 00:05:35,284 --> 00:05:35,884 Speaker 3: of the Seahawks. 132 00:05:35,964 --> 00:05:38,764 Speaker 2: It's really that thing where if McDonald goes eight and 133 00:05:38,844 --> 00:05:42,164 Speaker 2: two and beats McVeigh and does it with Sam Donald 134 00:05:42,204 --> 00:05:45,004 Speaker 2: and with these emerging players and these emerging stars like JSN. 135 00:05:45,084 --> 00:05:48,124 Speaker 2: It's like the United States of America Meet Mike McDonald. 136 00:05:48,164 --> 00:05:50,364 Speaker 2: He's going to be coaching in at least one playoff game. 137 00:05:50,404 --> 00:05:52,284 Speaker 2: It's probably going to be at home, and if this 138 00:05:52,524 --> 00:05:54,804 Speaker 2: team keeps cruising, it's going to be in late January 139 00:05:54,844 --> 00:05:55,364 Speaker 2: and beyond. 140 00:05:55,524 --> 00:05:57,564 Speaker 3: I'm excited for this guy because he's so low. 141 00:05:57,404 --> 00:06:00,044 Speaker 2: Profile and he shouldn't be. I feel like the Seahawks 142 00:06:00,084 --> 00:06:02,484 Speaker 2: and body everything is about you. Hear about him kind of. 143 00:06:02,484 --> 00:06:03,924 Speaker 2: They're supposed to be good, but I don't really know 144 00:06:03,924 --> 00:06:06,444 Speaker 2: about them. Jeffrey Dean Morgan tweets about him a lot. 145 00:06:06,524 --> 00:06:08,164 Speaker 2: He's the guy who seems to be doing it. It 146 00:06:08,164 --> 00:06:09,444 Speaker 2: would be huge for them. 147 00:06:09,564 --> 00:06:11,924 Speaker 3: Huge. There's also Mike a little bit of a. 148 00:06:11,884 --> 00:06:13,844 Speaker 2: Back to the shallow in factor if they go to 149 00:06:13,884 --> 00:06:16,724 Speaker 2: SOFI and get their clocks cleaned by Stafford and McVeigh. 150 00:06:16,764 --> 00:06:18,324 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of stakes in this game, even 151 00:06:18,364 --> 00:06:19,884 Speaker 2: though it's only a week eleven. 152 00:06:19,684 --> 00:06:20,204 Speaker 3: Or whatever it is. 153 00:06:20,204 --> 00:06:23,204 Speaker 2: But I'm watching the close thing. You know, a lot 154 00:06:23,244 --> 00:06:25,604 Speaker 2: of the Colts wins this year. Their offense has been 155 00:06:25,604 --> 00:06:28,084 Speaker 2: so good. They just blow teams away, especially early on. 156 00:06:28,324 --> 00:06:29,124 Speaker 3: This was not bad. 157 00:06:29,404 --> 00:06:31,484 Speaker 2: I said it in the highlight. Atlanta was totally gamed. 158 00:06:31,484 --> 00:06:33,244 Speaker 2: They were ready, they were equipped. I know they didn't 159 00:06:33,244 --> 00:06:34,684 Speaker 2: do a good job against Taylor, but they were in 160 00:06:34,724 --> 00:06:37,764 Speaker 2: the game late. Daniel Jones had to make plays late 161 00:06:37,844 --> 00:06:39,564 Speaker 2: to get them to overtime. They had to make a 162 00:06:39,564 --> 00:06:41,244 Speaker 2: big kick, They had to have other guys chip in. 163 00:06:41,604 --> 00:06:44,124 Speaker 2: It was Taylor being the superstar, but the Colts did 164 00:06:44,164 --> 00:06:47,444 Speaker 2: a battle in this game, which I like about Jonathan Taylor. Guys, 165 00:06:47,844 --> 00:06:49,404 Speaker 2: a little bit of an announcement here. I'm gonna just 166 00:06:49,404 --> 00:06:51,604 Speaker 2: a little bit of a show announcement. I'm very, very 167 00:06:51,644 --> 00:06:54,444 Speaker 2: excited to tell you that, Jame, You're not gonna believe this. 168 00:06:54,444 --> 00:06:57,164 Speaker 2: This year, for the first time ever, I have an 169 00:06:57,284 --> 00:07:00,884 Speaker 2: MVP boat. I got it. I have an MVP boat 170 00:07:00,964 --> 00:07:03,524 Speaker 2: for the AP I do. I'm breaking news here. I 171 00:07:03,564 --> 00:07:05,604 Speaker 2: get an MVP vote. I get to vote for MVP, 172 00:07:05,924 --> 00:07:06,724 Speaker 2: I get to vote. 173 00:07:06,564 --> 00:07:08,524 Speaker 3: For all pro. I am part of the crew. 174 00:07:08,724 --> 00:07:12,524 Speaker 2: It's officially happening, so your boy, they make it empty people, 175 00:07:12,604 --> 00:07:15,124 Speaker 2: and I'm excited because I'm going to talk it through 176 00:07:15,124 --> 00:07:17,124 Speaker 2: with you guys, and it could become part of the show. 177 00:07:17,364 --> 00:07:20,044 Speaker 3: Here's the deal, though, I'm doing this like my own way. 178 00:07:20,164 --> 00:07:23,444 Speaker 2: I am going to make it something very opinionated, very passionate. 179 00:07:23,444 --> 00:07:25,564 Speaker 2: Whoever I'm about, I am not just going to pick 180 00:07:25,604 --> 00:07:28,964 Speaker 2: whatever the quarterback is the best quarterback in the most yards, whatever, whatever, whatever. 181 00:07:29,124 --> 00:07:30,884 Speaker 2: I'm really going to be a purist on this. I 182 00:07:30,924 --> 00:07:34,524 Speaker 2: was around for Adrian Peterson's MVP. I remember Barry Sanders' MVP, 183 00:07:34,884 --> 00:07:36,564 Speaker 2: and right now I'm not supposed to say who I'm 184 00:07:36,604 --> 00:07:40,404 Speaker 2: voting for anything like that. But Jonathan Daely has my attention. 185 00:07:40,724 --> 00:07:41,364 Speaker 3: Here's why. 186 00:07:41,724 --> 00:07:45,284 Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford is doing incredible, incredible things, and we're gonna 187 00:07:45,324 --> 00:07:47,084 Speaker 2: get to him later. Culture eight and two, if they 188 00:07:47,084 --> 00:07:48,804 Speaker 2: don't have Jonathan Taylor, I think they're a four and 189 00:07:48,884 --> 00:07:50,924 Speaker 2: six team right now. Like I love Jones everything, I 190 00:07:50,924 --> 00:07:53,164 Speaker 2: think they're four and six without him. I think the 191 00:07:53,204 --> 00:07:55,604 Speaker 2: win over replacement that whoever would be behind him is 192 00:07:55,644 --> 00:07:56,604 Speaker 2: just a huge factor. 193 00:07:57,044 --> 00:07:58,564 Speaker 3: Right now. I'm looking at Jonathan Taylor. 194 00:07:58,604 --> 00:08:00,564 Speaker 2: And I also don't like that there's this thing we 195 00:08:00,644 --> 00:08:03,364 Speaker 2: do now where well, the best running back gets Offensive 196 00:08:03,404 --> 00:08:03,924 Speaker 2: Player of the Year. 197 00:08:03,964 --> 00:08:05,684 Speaker 3: That's just their work. That's stupid. 198 00:08:05,844 --> 00:08:08,124 Speaker 2: I hate that it's just deciding that's going to be 199 00:08:08,124 --> 00:08:09,164 Speaker 2: a quarterback every year. 200 00:08:09,324 --> 00:08:10,324 Speaker 3: I don't like it at all. 201 00:08:10,524 --> 00:08:12,844 Speaker 2: I'm looking at Jonathan Taylor and we will continue to 202 00:08:12,884 --> 00:08:14,244 Speaker 2: talk about this moving forward. 203 00:08:14,524 --> 00:08:16,044 Speaker 3: But as an MVP voter and I. 204 00:08:15,964 --> 00:08:17,804 Speaker 2: Feel like Wayne and Garth my backstage pass. 205 00:08:18,044 --> 00:08:20,524 Speaker 3: I'm so excited Jonathan Taylor has my attention. 206 00:08:21,804 --> 00:08:24,524 Speaker 2: For years, I feel like the Philip Rivers Chargers were 207 00:08:24,524 --> 00:08:26,684 Speaker 2: the cume running team. I feel like the Joe Burrow 208 00:08:26,684 --> 00:08:29,364 Speaker 2: Bengals and some of these years fit the profile. But 209 00:08:29,404 --> 00:08:31,804 Speaker 2: to have the two time MVP be the come running 210 00:08:31,804 --> 00:08:34,764 Speaker 2: team is really really exciting. I would only say the 211 00:08:34,804 --> 00:08:37,964 Speaker 2: football gods work in a strange way. You don't see 212 00:08:38,004 --> 00:08:40,724 Speaker 2: a lot of one in five teams make the playoffs. 213 00:08:40,924 --> 00:08:41,684 Speaker 3: Stuff happens. 214 00:08:41,724 --> 00:08:43,804 Speaker 2: Even if you do get right, like Isaiah's saying, even 215 00:08:43,804 --> 00:08:45,844 Speaker 2: if you do have a three game winning streak, you 216 00:08:45,884 --> 00:08:47,404 Speaker 2: don't know what's coming down. You have to be so 217 00:08:47,524 --> 00:08:50,804 Speaker 2: perfect the injuries, the scheduling and all that type of stuff. 218 00:08:51,524 --> 00:08:53,804 Speaker 2: I would love to see the Baltimore Ravens come tearing 219 00:08:53,844 --> 00:08:54,364 Speaker 2: down the stretch. 220 00:08:54,404 --> 00:08:54,804 Speaker 3: I would. 221 00:08:55,364 --> 00:08:57,444 Speaker 2: I don't think we can just conclude all the stuff, 222 00:08:57,524 --> 00:08:59,804 Speaker 2: like by the way, like their defense was awful and 223 00:08:59,844 --> 00:09:01,844 Speaker 2: they just we snapped our fingers and now it's good again. 224 00:09:02,244 --> 00:09:04,924 Speaker 3: Will they regress? Was that a mirage? I don't know. 225 00:09:04,964 --> 00:09:07,244 Speaker 2: I just know that you have to be after starting 226 00:09:07,244 --> 00:09:08,764 Speaker 2: one to five, not just good, you have to be 227 00:09:08,844 --> 00:09:12,004 Speaker 2: almost perfect because things happened down the stretch. 228 00:09:12,404 --> 00:09:13,964 Speaker 3: Are they going to be a playoff team? I don't know. 229 00:09:13,964 --> 00:09:16,284 Speaker 2: They're the come running team officially, but they still need 230 00:09:16,324 --> 00:09:17,444 Speaker 2: a lot of help and a lot of things to 231 00:09:17,484 --> 00:09:20,404 Speaker 2: go right. Listen, We're gonna talk a lot of Bears 232 00:09:20,404 --> 00:09:21,244 Speaker 2: over the next month. 233 00:09:21,284 --> 00:09:22,604 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's gonna be good or bad. 234 00:09:22,644 --> 00:09:25,484 Speaker 2: But the big Boys schedule has come in eight games left, 235 00:09:25,644 --> 00:09:28,444 Speaker 2: seven of them against teams that matter, really. 236 00:09:28,204 --> 00:09:30,084 Speaker 3: Really big games. The story of this game for the 237 00:09:30,084 --> 00:09:31,604 Speaker 3: Bears was drops. 238 00:09:32,004 --> 00:09:34,204 Speaker 2: No team in the NFL has had as many drops 239 00:09:34,204 --> 00:09:36,164 Speaker 2: in a game this year as the Bears had yesterday, 240 00:09:36,324 --> 00:09:39,604 Speaker 2: and Caleb is just lasers all over the field, drop 241 00:09:39,724 --> 00:09:42,004 Speaker 2: drop in big moments where the receivers couldn't pick him up. 242 00:09:42,444 --> 00:09:45,404 Speaker 2: He stayed in his shoes, He was composed, and he 243 00:09:45,804 --> 00:09:49,884 Speaker 2: orchestrated that fourth quarter. Caleb Williams was fantastic at the 244 00:09:49,924 --> 00:09:50,524 Speaker 2: end of this game. 245 00:09:50,764 --> 00:09:52,684 Speaker 3: We have loved Drake May we love a lot of 246 00:09:52,684 --> 00:09:54,764 Speaker 3: his peers. Caleb was brilliant. 247 00:09:54,804 --> 00:09:57,364 Speaker 2: Now here's the thing with the Bears right now, You 248 00:09:57,404 --> 00:10:01,244 Speaker 2: can't say anything positive about them, be it here, being 249 00:10:01,364 --> 00:10:04,004 Speaker 2: on social media, be it on your text chain, without 250 00:10:04,284 --> 00:10:06,844 Speaker 2: every single response being like, who cares? Was against the 251 00:10:06,844 --> 00:10:08,524 Speaker 2: Giants they sucked last weeks. 252 00:10:08,604 --> 00:10:10,964 Speaker 3: Was against the Bengals, they suck. And I kind of 253 00:10:10,964 --> 00:10:12,444 Speaker 3: get it. I totally understand. 254 00:10:12,484 --> 00:10:15,244 Speaker 2: The schedule is coming and we'll find out they're a weird, weird, 255 00:10:15,244 --> 00:10:18,044 Speaker 2: weird team. But for right now, I see a six 256 00:10:18,124 --> 00:10:20,644 Speaker 2: and a three under a Bear's logo and I have 257 00:10:20,684 --> 00:10:21,764 Speaker 2: not seen that for a long time. 258 00:10:21,844 --> 00:10:22,564 Speaker 3: I do have one. 259 00:10:22,484 --> 00:10:24,684 Speaker 2: Little public service I need to perform here. 260 00:10:25,564 --> 00:10:27,084 Speaker 3: I follow a lot of Bears accounts. 261 00:10:27,164 --> 00:10:30,444 Speaker 2: I get a lot of Bears tweets aggregated and pulled 262 00:10:30,524 --> 00:10:34,404 Speaker 2: together to across my timeline.

It's ugly, 305 00:12:06,084 --> 00:12:10,684 Speaker 2: they're heavily flawed, but they're six and three. Matthew Stafford 306 00:12:11,084 --> 00:12:15,564 Speaker 2: is unconscious, unconscious throwing the football right now. He has 307 00:12:15,604 --> 00:12:20,124 Speaker 2: not thrown an interception in six straight games. Six straight games. 308 00:12:20,404 --> 00:12:24,484 Speaker 2: Four touchdowns this week, four touchdowns last week, five touchdowns 309 00:12:24,484 --> 00:12:27,724 Speaker 2: the week before. It is a full symphony. He is 310 00:12:27,764 --> 00:12:31,044 Speaker 2: conducting with Sean McVay in his ear. He can't miss. 311 00:12:31,364 --> 00:12:35,804 Speaker 2: Everything goes in. It's like it's like he's mastered the position. 312 00:12:35,924 --> 00:12:37,684 Speaker 2: I remember years and years ago Eddie ben Hill and 313 00:12:37,724 --> 00:12:40,564 Speaker 2: the legendary late guitarist, was asked like have you mastered 314 00:12:40,604 --> 00:12:42,724 Speaker 2: the guitar and is there anything else you can do 315 00:12:42,764 --> 00:12:45,244 Speaker 2: with those six strings? And he said, you're never master, 316 00:12:45,364 --> 00:12:47,564 Speaker 2: You're always learning new things, are always evolving. 317 00:12:47,844 --> 00:12:48,844 Speaker 3: I feel that's the way with. 318 00:12:48,844 --> 00:12:51,764 Speaker 2: Stafford he's doing now, Like as he's getting into his 319 00:12:51,844 --> 00:12:54,764 Speaker 2: mid late thirties, that area like remember when Rogers went 320 00:12:54,804 --> 00:12:57,124 Speaker 2: through a second prime a few years ago and he 321 00:12:57,164 --> 00:13:00,404 Speaker 2: was winning MVPs with like long hair and a totally 322 00:13:00,404 --> 00:13:03,644 Speaker 2: different deal than he had ten years prior. Matthew Stafford 323 00:13:03,724 --> 00:13:06,164 Speaker 2: right now is like his third prime of his career. 324 00:13:06,684 --> 00:13:07,964 Speaker 3: He is I just this. 325 00:13:08,084 --> 00:13:09,604 Speaker 2: Only thing I can say is he is a three 326 00:13:09,644 --> 00:13:12,524 Speaker 2: point shooter who's just shooting and then just jogging back 327 00:13:12,564 --> 00:13:14,604 Speaker 2: down the court because he not only as he knows 328 00:13:14,764 --> 00:13:16,844 Speaker 2: it's going to go in. It's not even going to 329 00:13:16,924 --> 00:13:18,884 Speaker 2: hit the rim, it's not even gonna move the net. 330 00:13:18,924 --> 00:13:22,964 Speaker 2: It just falls down. Ram Seahawks still play two more times. 331 00:13:23,004 --> 00:13:24,924 Speaker 2: They play next week in the late window, and they 332 00:13:24,924 --> 00:13:25,844 Speaker 2: will do this again. 333 00:13:26,044 --> 00:13:28,764 Speaker 3: I think, personally, I think it is the best two. 334 00:13:28,684 --> 00:13:31,364 Speaker 2: Teams in the NFL right now, Ram Seahawks, and then 335 00:13:31,364 --> 00:13:33,884 Speaker 2: I probably have the Patriots as the third. Ram Seahawks, 336 00:13:33,964 --> 00:13:37,364 Speaker 2: two best teams, same division, wildly different quarterbacks, but still 337 00:13:37,364 --> 00:13:38,204 Speaker 2: play two more times. 338 00:13:38,324 --> 00:13:39,564 Speaker 3: Till buckle up sports fans. 339 00:13:50,524 --> 00:13:53,324 Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership 340 00:13:53,364 --> 00:13:56,764 Speaker 1: with I Heart Radio.
