1 00:00:04,404 --> 00:00:07,244 Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership 2 00:00:07,284 --> 00:00:20,444 Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:24,164 --> 00:00:26,044 Speaker 2: Somebody's got to say the Ravens, So somebody's got to 4 00:00:26,044 --> 00:00:27,564 Speaker 2: say the Bills, because this is just what we do 5 00:00:27,604 --> 00:00:29,404 Speaker 2: in this era. And then every year they lose to 6 00:00:29,444 --> 00:00:31,604 Speaker 2: the Chiefs. But maybe it'll be different this year. I 7 00:00:31,644 --> 00:00:34,204 Speaker 2: will take door number three because I'm going to say 8 00:00:34,244 --> 00:00:36,844 Speaker 2: the Bengals because the Bengals have done it. The Bengals 9 00:00:36,884 --> 00:00:39,204 Speaker 2: have beaten him, they have dethroned him, they have taken 10 00:00:39,284 --> 00:00:41,644 Speaker 2: him out. And I also think the bounce back year 11 00:00:41,644 --> 00:00:43,444 Speaker 2: for the Bengals in the sense that last year was 12 00:00:43,484 --> 00:00:46,924 Speaker 2: so strange and they were so prolific and so statistically 13 00:00:46,964 --> 00:00:50,044 Speaker 2: excellent and then just couldn't win games. There's no possible 14 00:00:50,044 --> 00:00:52,684 Speaker 2: way they can protect Burrow worse than they did last year. 15 00:00:52,924 --> 00:00:54,884 Speaker 2: The guys are paid, the guys are under contract, and 16 00:00:54,884 --> 00:00:56,684 Speaker 2: by the guys, I certainly don't mean the pass rusher, 17 00:00:56,764 --> 00:00:59,164 Speaker 2: I mean the two toys that Burrow has. I just 18 00:00:59,164 --> 00:01:02,084 Speaker 2: feel like with that coach and that quarterback, I have 19 00:01:02,164 --> 00:01:03,764 Speaker 2: to believe that things are going to be better than 20 00:01:03,804 --> 00:01:06,564 Speaker 2: last year. And last year they were brilliant in terms 21 00:01:06,604 --> 00:01:09,324 Speaker 2: of productivity. I just if you always give me a 22 00:01:09,364 --> 00:01:12,124 Speaker 2: puncher's chance for one team or one guy that's gonna 23 00:01:12,124 --> 00:01:14,364 Speaker 2: go to Arrowhead in the divisional or the title game, 24 00:01:14,604 --> 00:01:17,404 Speaker 2: and holy crap, they beat the Chiefs. I can pick 25 00:01:17,444 --> 00:01:20,084 Speaker 2: the teams that never do it, or I can pick 26 00:01:20,124 --> 00:01:22,284 Speaker 2: the team that has at least done it once so 27 00:01:22,404 --> 00:01:25,684 Speaker 2: again hashtag June second, I'll say Burrow does it. And 28 00:01:25,764 --> 00:01:27,964 Speaker 2: I love Lamar, I love Josh, but there's just something 29 00:01:27,964 --> 00:01:31,244 Speaker 2: about that number nine in Cincinnati. I would just first 30 00:01:31,244 --> 00:01:34,404 Speaker 2: say about Caleb and the story that he didn't want 31 00:01:34,444 --> 00:01:36,644 Speaker 2: to be in Chicago and all this, and that I 32 00:01:36,804 --> 00:01:41,884 Speaker 2: ate him. On innumerable Bears text chains with lifelong meat 33 00:01:41,924 --> 00:01:45,124 Speaker 2: and potato hard hat wearing Bears fans in the Chicago 34 00:01:45,244 --> 00:01:48,004 Speaker 2: area and across the country, I don't know a single 35 00:01:48,084 --> 00:01:50,564 Speaker 2: one of them who gave a single bleep about that 36 00:01:50,684 --> 00:01:54,884 Speaker 2: story or was in any way insulted, in any way sensitive. 37 00:01:55,244 --> 00:01:57,724 Speaker 2: Because Bears fans have a lot of their faults, but 38 00:01:57,804 --> 00:02:00,684 Speaker 2: one of them is not lacking self awareness. They know 39 00:02:00,764 --> 00:02:02,724 Speaker 2: what they are and what they aren't, and they know 40 00:02:02,804 --> 00:02:05,324 Speaker 2: that the elephant in the room is that their quarterbacks 41 00:02:05,644 --> 00:02:08,404 Speaker 2: are very, very rarely good, and that they've been chasing 42 00:02:08,444 --> 00:02:11,124 Speaker 2: one for forty years. So the idea that Caleb's like, 43 00:02:11,204 --> 00:02:13,044 Speaker 2: I don't know, Chicago, I'm going to be the number 44 00:02:13,084 --> 00:02:15,484 Speaker 2: one pick. I'm not sure that's the best place for 45 00:02:15,524 --> 00:02:17,764 Speaker 2: me to go to succeed in football. All Bears friends 46 00:02:17,764 --> 00:02:20,284 Speaker 2: are like, yeah, no kidding, We're thrilled that you're here. 47 00:02:20,484 --> 00:02:22,924 Speaker 2: Of course it's not the best place. It's the Bears. 48 00:02:23,124 --> 00:02:25,444 Speaker 2: I don't see any of that about How dare he 49 00:02:25,484 --> 00:02:27,644 Speaker 2: say it's nonsense? I think it's a straw man. I 50 00:02:27,644 --> 00:02:30,364 Speaker 2: think it's completely made up. And every Bears fan is 51 00:02:30,404 --> 00:02:33,484 Speaker 2: so excited about Caleb and so embracing of Caleb that 52 00:02:33,564 --> 00:02:35,404 Speaker 2: it's fine. We like it out in the open now. 53 00:02:35,884 --> 00:02:37,764 Speaker 2: Wasn't sure if he wanted to come there. He did. 54 00:02:38,124 --> 00:02:39,844 Speaker 2: He got the crap kicked out of him last year 55 00:02:39,924 --> 00:02:43,404 Speaker 2: through six interceptions all year behind a bad offensive line. 56 00:02:43,604 --> 00:02:45,724 Speaker 2: I think that story is nothing. It had it splash. 57 00:02:45,764 --> 00:02:48,404 Speaker 2: It's fine. I don't hold any resent and whatsoever. As 58 00:02:48,404 --> 00:02:50,684 Speaker 2: far as this year, I say the same thing about 59 00:02:50,724 --> 00:02:52,524 Speaker 2: the Bears that I would say about the Cowboys. How 60 00:02:52,604 --> 00:02:54,564 Speaker 2: is this year any different from every year? When they 61 00:02:54,604 --> 00:02:56,444 Speaker 2: win the offseason? Are supposed to do this and that. 62 00:02:56,804 --> 00:02:59,244 Speaker 2: In a lot of ways, A they went to lambeau 63 00:02:59,284 --> 00:03:01,124 Speaker 2: Field the end of last season, in one which they 64 00:03:01,164 --> 00:03:03,924 Speaker 2: never do. B they hired Ben Johnson, which they would 65 00:03:03,924 --> 00:03:07,364 Speaker 2: have never done over the last ten, fifteen to twenty years. 66 00:03:07,484 --> 00:03:10,124 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson is the anti Matt Ebraflus, and that is 67 00:03:10,124 --> 00:03:13,604 Speaker 2: a very good thing. They're doing things they wouldn't normally do, 68 00:03:13,964 --> 00:03:17,244 Speaker 2: from not only the front office, from ownership. They wouldn't 69 00:03:17,284 --> 00:03:19,644 Speaker 2: have normally paid Joe Toney all that money. Yeah, it's 70 00:03:19,684 --> 00:03:22,364 Speaker 2: an unfavory linement. We don't need it. They're doing things 71 00:03:22,404 --> 00:03:24,884 Speaker 2: that past Bears regimes wouldn't do. I think the ownership 72 00:03:24,924 --> 00:03:28,044 Speaker 2: is loosening up. Let's remember they hired Matt Ibraflus in 73 00:03:28,084 --> 00:03:30,484 Speaker 2: part because they liked that he didn't swear. I mean, 74 00:03:30,524 --> 00:03:33,284 Speaker 2: what are we doing. Ben Johnson's gonna swear a lot, 75 00:03:33,604 --> 00:03:36,284 Speaker 2: and I think the Bears players need some swearing around 76 00:03:36,324 --> 00:03:38,884 Speaker 2: them because they need to be motivated. So we'll talk 77 00:03:38,884 --> 00:03:40,844 Speaker 2: about this for the next five months. We got john here, 78 00:03:40,844 --> 00:03:42,724 Speaker 2: we got Isaia and Jamie. I think there are a 79 00:03:42,804 --> 00:03:44,884 Speaker 2: lot of reasons that they'd be excited about the Bears 80 00:03:44,884 --> 00:03:49,044 Speaker 2: because it doesn't feel like the same crap they normally do. Listen, 81 00:03:49,244 --> 00:03:50,844 Speaker 2: we look at the Chiefs now as all of a 82 00:03:50,844 --> 00:03:52,964 Speaker 2: sudden their stock is dropped or something because they got 83 00:03:52,964 --> 00:03:55,444 Speaker 2: slapped around on the Super Bowl. That was an all 84 00:03:55,444 --> 00:03:57,684 Speaker 2: time Eagles team. And I don't take anything away from 85 00:03:57,684 --> 00:04:00,684 Speaker 2: the Chiefs. I look at the Chiefs last year. I 86 00:04:00,724 --> 00:04:03,364 Speaker 2: think it was the weakest team of the Mahomes era 87 00:04:03,524 --> 00:04:06,284 Speaker 2: and the most vulnera team. They won fifteen games and 88 00:04:06,324 --> 00:04:09,124 Speaker 2: had a buy and is the weakest team that they've 89 00:04:09,164 --> 00:04:11,564 Speaker 2: seen it like that was the year to get them, 90 00:04:11,924 --> 00:04:14,164 Speaker 2: that was the year to take them out. And yet 91 00:04:14,364 --> 00:04:17,524 Speaker 2: they beat the Texans and CJ. Stroud, They beat the 92 00:04:17,524 --> 00:04:19,804 Speaker 2: Bills like they do every year in the playoffs, and 93 00:04:19,844 --> 00:04:21,644 Speaker 2: they got trounts in the Super Bowl. Who cares we're 94 00:04:21,684 --> 00:04:24,364 Speaker 2: talking about the AFC. I like the up and comers. 95 00:04:24,404 --> 00:04:27,524 Speaker 2: We're all waiting and waiting and waiting on Baltimore and 96 00:04:27,564 --> 00:04:30,724 Speaker 2: Buffalo at Al. But I really do think that they 97 00:04:30,724 --> 00:04:33,724 Speaker 2: were very vulnerable last year, the Chiefs, and that vulnerability 98 00:04:33,924 --> 00:04:36,564 Speaker 2: led to them coasting to an AFC title and a 99 00:04:36,604 --> 00:04:40,044 Speaker 2: fifteen win season on a down year. So next year 100 00:04:40,044 --> 00:04:41,964 Speaker 2: I think they'll be better than they were. The ship Kelsey, 101 00:04:42,004 --> 00:04:44,644 Speaker 2: I get he's old, Like there's other things emerging for 102 00:04:44,684 --> 00:04:46,084 Speaker 2: the Chiefs. Right now. I don't think Kels is going 103 00:04:46,164 --> 00:04:48,244 Speaker 2: to be the central weapons. So there's no way in 104 00:04:48,284 --> 00:04:50,524 Speaker 2: hell I'm gonna to anybody else other than the Chiefs. 105 00:04:50,724 --> 00:04:52,924 Speaker 2: As much as Kelsey may be older and slowing down, 106 00:04:52,964 --> 00:04:54,444 Speaker 2: he was killing it in the playoffs. I think he 107 00:04:54,484 --> 00:04:57,444 Speaker 2: had thirteen catches in three games. He gets it done. 108 00:04:58,284 --> 00:05:00,884 Speaker 2: It's tough to judge them against the Eagles right now 109 00:05:00,924 --> 00:05:03,964 Speaker 2: because Dak missed the games last year, and so normally 110 00:05:04,004 --> 00:05:06,164 Speaker 2: what we as we pull up last year's games and say, well, 111 00:05:06,204 --> 00:05:08,404 Speaker 2: they were sucked or they were good, and it's kind 112 00:05:08,404 --> 00:05:11,364 Speaker 2: of a mystery. But what's not a mystery is I 113 00:05:11,364 --> 00:05:13,244 Speaker 2: mean they still have Saquon coming right at them. Let's 114 00:05:13,244 --> 00:05:15,124 Speaker 2: take the quarterbacks out it, let's take the coaches out 115 00:05:15,124 --> 00:05:18,004 Speaker 2: of it. Saquon, particularly in the second time they faced 116 00:05:18,044 --> 00:05:20,084 Speaker 2: them last year, just I mean ran right through them. 117 00:05:20,484 --> 00:05:22,604 Speaker 2: This was kind of the dregs of a Cowboys season 118 00:05:22,604 --> 00:05:25,564 Speaker 2: that was going nowhere. But they just fed him and 119 00:05:25,604 --> 00:05:27,604 Speaker 2: fed him and there was nothing that Dallas was gonna 120 00:05:27,604 --> 00:05:30,644 Speaker 2: do about it. So Dak and Schottenheimer and I don't 121 00:05:30,644 --> 00:05:33,044 Speaker 2: think they're gonna make much difference in this regard as 122 00:05:33,084 --> 00:05:36,324 Speaker 2: the Cowboys defense ready to stop this. I know Isaiah's 123 00:05:36,324 --> 00:05:37,964 Speaker 2: gonna tell me they're the eighty five Bears. I can't 124 00:05:37,964 --> 00:05:40,004 Speaker 2: wait to hear it. And he's getting repped up over there. 125 00:05:40,164 --> 00:05:42,604 Speaker 2: But I just feel like, yes, the Cowboys are going 126 00:05:42,604 --> 00:05:44,684 Speaker 2: in the right direction. Am I gonna say on June second? 127 00:05:44,844 --> 00:05:48,524 Speaker 2: I don't know, Watch out Philadelphia. I just saw Philadelphia 128 00:05:48,604 --> 00:05:50,964 Speaker 2: absolutely beat the doors off the Kansas City Chiefs and 129 00:05:51,004 --> 00:05:52,884 Speaker 2: one of the worst Super Bowls I've ever watched. Are 130 00:05:52,924 --> 00:05:56,004 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty five Cowboys gonna come knocking? Not there 131 00:05:56,124 --> 00:05:58,124 Speaker 2: yet excited where the Cowboys are going, but I love 132 00:05:58,124 --> 00:06:01,764 Speaker 2: the guys in Green still. I like the Pickens excitement. 133 00:06:01,884 --> 00:06:03,964 Speaker 2: I like that there's a new coach. Frankly, I like 134 00:06:04,044 --> 00:06:06,964 Speaker 2: that from Schottenheimer, who gets accused of being boring and 135 00:06:07,004 --> 00:06:09,844 Speaker 2: having nothing to say. I'm glad that we're not watching 136 00:06:09,924 --> 00:06:12,164 Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy again saying the same stuff he said for 137 00:06:12,204 --> 00:06:14,324 Speaker 2: several years. It's something new, and Jamie, what have I 138 00:06:14,404 --> 00:06:18,484 Speaker 2: said for a decade about the Dallas Cowboys? What is different? 139 00:06:18,604 --> 00:06:21,444 Speaker 2: It's the same show. It's the same thing every since. 140 00:06:21,564 --> 00:06:23,484 Speaker 2: Now I'm looking at a lot that's different. And I 141 00:06:23,604 --> 00:06:25,764 Speaker 2: like the Pickens thing because he mentioned the youth like 142 00:06:25,964 --> 00:06:28,964 Speaker 2: George Pickens is newly twenty four years old, like entry 143 00:06:29,044 --> 00:06:32,364 Speaker 2: level twenty four very young. George Pickens has never played 144 00:06:32,404 --> 00:06:34,644 Speaker 2: with a great quarterback. I don't even think he's ever 145 00:06:34,724 --> 00:06:37,604 Speaker 2: played with an above average quarterback. And now he gets 146 00:06:37,684 --> 00:06:39,604 Speaker 2: Dack like he's going to have some of the best 147 00:06:39,684 --> 00:06:42,964 Speaker 2: quarterback he's ever played with, by far in the NFL. 148 00:06:43,244 --> 00:06:45,124 Speaker 2: In college, He's never had the guy on the other 149 00:06:45,164 --> 00:06:47,924 Speaker 2: side like George Pickens. I think when you take some 150 00:06:47,964 --> 00:06:49,724 Speaker 2: of these guys who are looked at his quote unquote 151 00:06:49,764 --> 00:06:53,124 Speaker 2: mercurial or quote unquote emotional, then you get this thing 152 00:06:53,164 --> 00:06:55,564 Speaker 2: where it's like Odell on the Rams, where it kind 153 00:06:55,604 --> 00:06:58,284 Speaker 2: of just worked and it clicked, and he's catching touchdowns 154 00:06:58,284 --> 00:07:01,484 Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. And I just feelings of positivity 155 00:07:01,564 --> 00:07:04,804 Speaker 2: right now about Pickens. Is it because it's June first? Absolutely? 156 00:07:05,044 --> 00:07:07,684 Speaker 2: Is it because as they stand back, Absolutely, But I 157 00:07:07,764 --> 00:07:11,364 Speaker 2: choose to feel positive right now. I look at Fields 158 00:07:11,364 --> 00:07:13,564 Speaker 2: and I just I'm looking at him do that press conference, 159 00:07:13,964 --> 00:07:16,684 Speaker 2: as I've heard him give that exact press conference thirty times. 160 00:07:16,724 --> 00:07:18,324 Speaker 2: It's just that's how he is with the Bears. With 161 00:07:18,364 --> 00:07:20,884 Speaker 2: the Steelers, Scott's the limit for this offense. I'm very 162 00:07:20,924 --> 00:07:23,084 Speaker 2: excited to get better. And I say this as a compliment. 163 00:07:23,124 --> 00:07:25,924 Speaker 2: I really do think right here he is someone who's 164 00:07:25,964 --> 00:07:28,724 Speaker 2: wired for New York because he's not going to say squad. 165 00:07:29,004 --> 00:07:32,324 Speaker 2: I've seen that guy be thrown around the field, completely 166 00:07:32,324 --> 00:07:35,804 Speaker 2: disrespected physically and battered and beat up with the Bears. 167 00:07:36,124 --> 00:07:38,044 Speaker 2: He doesn't throw his mouth guard, he doesn't point at 168 00:07:38,044 --> 00:07:39,844 Speaker 2: the lineman. He keeps his mouth shut and he goes 169 00:07:39,884 --> 00:07:42,524 Speaker 2: to work. Now that work hasn't been that great, you know, 170 00:07:42,604 --> 00:07:44,764 Speaker 2: And we can split Harris and say who's around him 171 00:07:44,804 --> 00:07:48,404 Speaker 2: and the offensive lineman? This, this is turn number three 172 00:07:48,444 --> 00:07:51,404 Speaker 2: for Justin Fields. Like he has gotten three shots at 173 00:07:51,404 --> 00:07:54,564 Speaker 2: this with three different teams. This is probably it, you know. 174 00:07:54,604 --> 00:07:56,164 Speaker 2: If it doesn't work out in the Jets, I don't 175 00:07:56,164 --> 00:07:58,244 Speaker 2: think anybody is looking for Justin Fields to be their starter. 176 00:07:58,564 --> 00:08:00,964 Speaker 2: Maybe he'll be the backup that but it's go time 177 00:08:00,964 --> 00:08:03,644 Speaker 2: for him. It's past go time. All the things we 178 00:08:03,684 --> 00:08:06,724 Speaker 2: said about last year we could intensibly say about Field. 179 00:08:07,164 --> 00:08:09,764 Speaker 2: The team's so talented, the defense is so loaded, he 180 00:08:09,804 --> 00:08:12,844 Speaker 2: has good receivers, he does this is Justin Field's best 181 00:08:12,884 --> 00:08:15,884 Speaker 2: shot by far. There's a new head coach in the building. 182 00:08:16,364 --> 00:08:19,044 Speaker 2: Do we say this every few years with the Jets. Absolutely, 183 00:08:19,084 --> 00:08:20,884 Speaker 2: Will we say it a few years from now, probably, 184 00:08:21,124 --> 00:08:23,244 Speaker 2: But the fact that we're seeing somebody new who I 185 00:08:23,244 --> 00:08:25,644 Speaker 2: don't think is going to have just to considered fields 186 00:08:25,844 --> 00:08:28,924 Speaker 2: the anti Rodgers. There will be no podcast appearances, there 187 00:08:28,924 --> 00:08:31,004 Speaker 2: will be no drama, there will be none of that. 188 00:08:31,444 --> 00:08:34,604 Speaker 2: So that alone, it will be football. It'll be refreshing, 189 00:08:35,084 --> 00:08:36,804 Speaker 2: and I for one am willing to say you got 190 00:08:36,804 --> 00:08:39,764 Speaker 2: to give him a fresh start. A year from now, 191 00:08:39,884 --> 00:08:41,804 Speaker 2: is Brian Dable the head coach of the Giants that 192 00:08:41,964 --> 00:08:44,604 Speaker 2: success and then something went right. We know what time 193 00:08:44,644 --> 00:08:46,204 Speaker 2: it is with the Giants, with the front office, with 194 00:08:46,244 --> 00:08:48,044 Speaker 2: their head coach. It's been a rough run. We've had 195 00:08:48,084 --> 00:08:50,884 Speaker 2: some stumbles and fumbles. As a huge, stable guy like 196 00:08:51,004 --> 00:08:52,684 Speaker 2: I hope in a year from now we're talking about 197 00:08:52,724 --> 00:08:54,804 Speaker 2: him still being the head coach, because if we are, 198 00:08:55,204 --> 00:08:57,364 Speaker 2: that means something went really well at quarterback. Now the 199 00:08:57,484 --> 00:09:00,884 Speaker 2: quarterback room is really really interesting. The only thing is 200 00:09:00,884 --> 00:09:03,364 Speaker 2: more interesting in the entire league is the Browns quarterback rooms. 201 00:09:03,404 --> 00:09:05,684 Speaker 2: We'll talk about later, but just think about this. You've 202 00:09:05,724 --> 00:09:08,204 Speaker 2: got We've got Zach Morris and we just showed the 203 00:09:08,284 --> 00:09:11,404 Speaker 2: rookie they drafted high. We have Russ we have Jamis, 204 00:09:11,444 --> 00:09:14,524 Speaker 2: we have de Veto out there somewhere. My question about 205 00:09:14,564 --> 00:09:17,084 Speaker 2: this is, is it not any kind of competition? Does 206 00:09:17,124 --> 00:09:19,804 Speaker 2: this job just get handed to Russell Wilson? I think 207 00:09:19,804 --> 00:09:22,484 Speaker 2: it's a little bit weird. Like I'm watching these Knicks 208 00:09:22,484 --> 00:09:26,084 Speaker 2: games and russ Is like courtside and sunglasses and good 209 00:09:26,084 --> 00:09:27,844 Speaker 2: for him, And I'm thinking, like, is he even better 210 00:09:27,884 --> 00:09:30,844 Speaker 2: than Jamis at this point? Like is it just his job? 211 00:09:31,204 --> 00:09:33,684 Speaker 2: This is his fourth team in four years, and I 212 00:09:33,724 --> 00:09:36,004 Speaker 2: feel like at this point he's a known entity and 213 00:09:36,084 --> 00:09:39,124 Speaker 2: he's a legend OF's era, But like I is his 214 00:09:39,164 --> 00:09:41,204 Speaker 2: game as much as his fame right now? Is he 215 00:09:41,244 --> 00:09:44,604 Speaker 2: a great player? You put in probably not? Is it 216 00:09:44,644 --> 00:09:47,564 Speaker 2: possible Jameis is even better than a maybe and maybe 217 00:09:47,604 --> 00:09:49,884 Speaker 2: more popular in the locker room? Is it Jackson dark? 218 00:09:49,964 --> 00:09:51,724 Speaker 2: Maybe he has it right out of the gate. I 219 00:09:51,764 --> 00:09:54,044 Speaker 2: find it a little odd than in a kind of 220 00:09:54,124 --> 00:09:56,844 Speaker 2: like win year for the coaching staff. It seems to 221 00:09:56,884 --> 00:09:59,564 Speaker 2: be just this hand it to Russell Wilson, who's been 222 00:09:59,564 --> 00:10:02,404 Speaker 2: here twenty seconds, and have him go to war for us. 223 00:10:02,484 --> 00:10:04,004 Speaker 2: But he has a long resume, he's a lot of 224 00:10:04,564 --> 00:10:07,524 Speaker 2: and I guess they like him. Over the weekend and 225 00:10:07,564 --> 00:10:10,324 Speaker 2: I was just doom scrolling on Instagram like moron, and 226 00:10:10,364 --> 00:10:13,524 Speaker 2: I happen to come across the official NFL profile and 227 00:10:13,564 --> 00:10:16,404 Speaker 2: the people running the NFL Instagram account are trying to 228 00:10:16,444 --> 00:10:18,724 Speaker 2: make content in June. I have no idea what that's like. 229 00:10:19,004 --> 00:10:21,724 Speaker 2: But they did a thing with DeVante Adams john so 230 00:10:21,764 --> 00:10:24,964 Speaker 2: they're showing him and not like Packers Adams, but they 231 00:10:24,964 --> 00:10:27,244 Speaker 2: did the thing from last year. Now, one of the 232 00:10:27,324 --> 00:10:31,044 Speaker 2: things we try to change to champion here is everybody 233 00:10:31,084 --> 00:10:32,804 Speaker 2: knows all the big plays from last year, and they 234 00:10:32,804 --> 00:10:35,004 Speaker 2: know the Saquan jumping over this, they know Mahomes this. 235 00:10:35,244 --> 00:10:38,764 Speaker 2: We try to champion like really incredible plays on crappy 236 00:10:38,804 --> 00:10:41,604 Speaker 2: teams that will be immediately forgotten. And to that note, 237 00:10:41,644 --> 00:10:44,444 Speaker 2: I don't know how many people remember Jets Jags last year. 238 00:10:44,484 --> 00:10:46,884 Speaker 2: It doesn't jump off the marquee. Look at the play 239 00:10:46,924 --> 00:10:50,124 Speaker 2: that DeVante Adams made on the far sideline. This is 240 00:10:50,164 --> 00:10:53,644 Speaker 2: the stupidest catch. It reminds me of Mario Manningham from 241 00:10:53,644 --> 00:10:55,924 Speaker 2: ELI in the Super Bowl. It's a perfect throw from Rogers. 242 00:10:56,404 --> 00:10:58,324 Speaker 2: I mean, we're gonna show every angle of this. It 243 00:10:58,404 --> 00:11:03,284 Speaker 2: is a ridiculous toe tap over the shoulder. Willie Mays Jets, Jags. 244 00:11:03,324 --> 00:11:06,164 Speaker 2: Who cares about this game catch? And this is a 245 00:11:06,204 --> 00:11:08,604 Speaker 2: guy who is thirty two years old. Now this is 246 00:11:08,604 --> 00:11:11,324 Speaker 2: my favorite. I go, ah, that's not normal. You're not 247 00:11:11,364 --> 00:11:14,524 Speaker 2: supposed to do that ever. And now he is going 248 00:11:14,564 --> 00:11:17,444 Speaker 2: to play with Matthew Stafford in the post Cooper Cup era. 249 00:11:18,004 --> 00:11:20,964 Speaker 2: The combined age of these two guys is pushing seventy. 250 00:11:21,084 --> 00:11:23,964 Speaker 2: It's really close. And yet with all the young talent 251 00:11:24,004 --> 00:11:26,724 Speaker 2: and all the exciting young quarterbacks. I want to see 252 00:11:26,844 --> 00:11:30,684 Speaker 2: more of this at SOFI Stadium because DeVante. When I 253 00:11:30,724 --> 00:11:33,044 Speaker 2: saw this Instagram clip, I was like, God, I forgot 254 00:11:33,044 --> 00:11:35,124 Speaker 2: how it's good. Davante is because the Jets was us 255 00:11:35,124 --> 00:11:37,604 Speaker 2: a disaster last year. Now he's in a team who 256 00:11:37,644 --> 00:11:39,524 Speaker 2: will be in the playoffs. I always blind picked the 257 00:11:39,604 --> 00:11:41,484 Speaker 2: Rams for the playoffs. Every McBay team will go to 258 00:11:41,564 --> 00:11:44,004 Speaker 2: the playoffs, so I think Devonte will be back and 259 00:11:44,084 --> 00:11:48,124 Speaker 2: doing all the Cooper Cup stuff. That's my combination. This 260 00:11:48,204 --> 00:11:52,164 Speaker 2: is a fantastic tweet from Michael Parsons. I have no 261 00:11:52,484 --> 00:11:58,444 Speaker 2: snarky response, no skeptical comeback. This is all positive. There's 262 00:11:58,604 --> 00:12:02,884 Speaker 2: twenty six exclamation points. I'll be there. I never miss 263 00:12:03,204 --> 00:12:09,204 Speaker 2: teammates preparation and that he's not any sucker either. He's 264 00:12:09,244 --> 00:12:12,324 Speaker 2: still saying it's in the owner's hands. He calls out 265 00:12:12,484 --> 00:12:15,404 Speaker 2: the Jones family, and then he says, super Bowl, I 266 00:12:16,364 --> 00:12:18,484 Speaker 2: am so encouraged by this at a time when it 267 00:12:18,524 --> 00:12:20,884 Speaker 2: could have gone really negative and dark, and when it 268 00:12:20,924 --> 00:12:23,284 Speaker 2: seems like everything is and always with the Cowboys, there's 269 00:12:23,284 --> 00:12:25,564 Speaker 2: going to be money. This and hold out this. He 270 00:12:25,844 --> 00:12:29,204 Speaker 2: zagged hard on this. This is a positive thing to 271 00:12:29,204 --> 00:12:31,484 Speaker 2: say that I will be there. I do want to 272 00:12:31,524 --> 00:12:34,284 Speaker 2: be paid, but teammates support like I feel like this 273 00:12:34,324 --> 00:12:37,084 Speaker 2: should be put up in a banner somewhere as everyone 274 00:12:37,124 --> 00:12:40,604 Speaker 2: to look at, just a positive sentiment about I understand 275 00:12:40,644 --> 00:12:42,244 Speaker 2: you want to get your money, and you should, but 276 00:12:42,364 --> 00:12:44,484 Speaker 2: there are ways to go about it. You're not doing 277 00:12:44,524 --> 00:12:48,604 Speaker 2: some petty nonsense like unfollowing the team on Instagram or subtweeting. 278 00:12:48,764 --> 00:12:52,524 Speaker 2: He just says no. He screams, I'm there. I love 279 00:12:52,564 --> 00:12:54,604 Speaker 2: my teammates. I want to win a Super Bowl. Please 280 00:12:54,644 --> 00:12:57,124 Speaker 2: pay me, but do it. I mean, I'm in New York. 281 00:12:57,204 --> 00:13:00,164 Speaker 2: It's like Tom Thibodeaux just gets fired. It's all over 282 00:13:00,204 --> 00:13:02,484 Speaker 2: the back. I can't even turn around the other side 283 00:13:02,524 --> 00:13:04,964 Speaker 2: of the newspaper. It's so bad and so offensive and 284 00:13:05,004 --> 00:13:08,124 Speaker 2: so disgusting. I won't even show it to you. Michael Parsons, 285 00:13:08,164 --> 00:13:10,884 Speaker 2: who gets the media, who understands how to work it, 286 00:13:10,964 --> 00:13:13,884 Speaker 2: I think has never ever worked it better. Everyone's in 287 00:13:13,924 --> 00:13:16,804 Speaker 2: his corner. Now everyone's gonna be like, Micah, you're right, 288 00:13:16,924 --> 00:13:18,644 Speaker 2: you should get paid. You're great, and look at what 289 00:13:18,684 --> 00:13:21,724 Speaker 2: a great attitude you have. Great great media by Michael Parsons. 290 00:13:21,764 --> 00:13:25,364 Speaker 2: I'm in Presston proud. Here's the problem with TJ Watt, 291 00:13:25,404 --> 00:13:28,484 Speaker 2: and there is one. TJ Watts never won a playoff game, 292 00:13:28,884 --> 00:13:31,724 Speaker 2: and it's a crazy thing to say. Micky Fitzpatrick has 293 00:13:31,764 --> 00:13:34,804 Speaker 2: never won a playoff game. There's problems with their team 294 00:13:34,844 --> 00:13:38,444 Speaker 2: at large, where it's not all Rosie and Mary and 295 00:13:38,524 --> 00:13:40,684 Speaker 2: Steeler Land. You know the era we're in right now. 296 00:13:40,724 --> 00:13:42,604 Speaker 2: They get in the playoffs and lose every single year. 297 00:13:42,724 --> 00:13:44,684 Speaker 2: A guy that good who's never won a playoff game 298 00:13:44,764 --> 00:13:48,084 Speaker 2: is crazy, but it's listen. I think that they will 299 00:13:48,084 --> 00:13:50,524 Speaker 2: not let him leave. He is a born and bred Steeler. 300 00:13:51,164 --> 00:13:53,364 Speaker 2: You know you saw JJ leave and play with Arizona 301 00:13:53,364 --> 00:13:55,884 Speaker 2: at the end. But I wouldn't compare the Houston Texans 302 00:13:56,004 --> 00:13:58,244 Speaker 2: to the Pittsburgh Steelers and to how they do business 303 00:13:58,284 --> 00:14:00,324 Speaker 2: so there's a lot of ways to unpack this, but 304 00:14:00,684 --> 00:14:03,364 Speaker 2: obviously with the Steelers thing, kind of all roads lead 305 00:14:03,404 --> 00:14:04,124 Speaker 2: to the quarterback. 306 00:14:13,204 --> 00:14:16,044 Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership 307 00:14:16,084 --> 00:14:21,204 Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. For more iHeartRadio pods, go to the iHeartRadio app, 308 00:14:21,644 --> 00:14:24,564 Speaker 1: go to Apple, go anywhere you like, it'll be there.
