Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio Good Mode.
Speaker 2: Kelsey actually talked about the officiating. Why is the media
Speaker 2: running into it is interesting? The answer, Travis is because
Speaker 2: the media is embracing it because it's interesting, and more so,
Speaker 2: it's reactive, and all anyone is trying to do in
Speaker 2: media right now is to get an engagement and get
Speaker 2: a reaction. And you type the word Chiefs, officiating or
Speaker 2: anything and any sort of tweet or post, and people
Speaker 2: will lose their minds. I would also say to Kelsey,
Speaker 2: I think at this point, for someone of his stature,
Speaker 2: the officiating thing.
Speaker 3: Is a compliment. It is a compliment.
Speaker 2: People are saying, no one can beat these people, So
Speaker 2: it has to be the referees.
Speaker 3: It has to be the officials. That is a part
Speaker 3: of their legacy.
Speaker 2: The time the Chiefs were so good and so unbeatable
Speaker 2: that the entire Super Bowl became that they're getting all
Speaker 2: the calls from the officials, which they're not. I think
Speaker 2: that is a huge deal in what they've accomplished. Will
Speaker 2: it be remembered? Is it being taken away from them?
Speaker 3: Not? In time?
Speaker 2: No, when they look back on this, if they win
Speaker 2: this thing twenty years from not, so no one's going
Speaker 2: to be talking about the officials.
Speaker 3: I remember the Seahawks Steelers officials, the.
Speaker 2: Mike Holmbre and Bill cower Wan That one was looked
Speaker 2: back on as the officiating for Seahawks fans who were
Speaker 2: losers in that game, and we did a one and done.
Speaker 3: The Chiefs are way above that.
Speaker 2: They're talking about it because it's interesting and it's engaging,
Speaker 2: but years from now, it's not what this will be about.
Speaker 2: It is a shame and it is a mess, and
Speaker 2: it's another byproduct of the Deshaun Watson era. But I
Speaker 2: think it's way more interesting it pertain to the league
Speaker 2: rather than the Browns. You can't get guys like Miles Garrett.
Speaker 2: That's not something that becomes available. If you're going to
Speaker 2: get someone like Von Miller or JJ Watt, you can,
Speaker 2: but it's later in their career. It's maybe after some
Speaker 2: injuries they're out there. You don't get Miles Garrett now,
Speaker 2: during which he proved he was the best pass rusher
Speaker 2: in the league this year, and these teams that are
Speaker 2: good teams that he wants to be on, they don't
Speaker 2: draft high enough to get somebody like that that's a
Speaker 2: number one overall pick. So these really good contenders will
Speaker 2: never be able to touch them. This is an incredible,
Speaker 2: incredible opportunity for a team that matters to make a
Speaker 2: crazy move. And I think it's a fascinating thing that
Speaker 2: just recently Brandon Bean, the GN of the Buffalo Bills,
Speaker 2: listen to this quote he's asked about. You know, how
Speaker 2: do you bring someone in who's a real difference maker?
Speaker 2: How do you get somebody like that, like a Chris
Speaker 2: Jones type, Brandon being quote, there's not a lot of
Speaker 2: Chris Jones is out there. I don't know how many
Speaker 2: teams are gonna be able to hand you a game wrecker.
Speaker 3: They're probably all sewed up. But we love to do that.
Speaker 2: If there's a player out there, Brandon, there's a player
Speaker 2: out there. His name is Miles Garrett. At this point,
Speaker 2: he's probably better than Chris Jones. This is the guy
Speaker 2: that you can see a team that's knocking on the
Speaker 2: door right now, like the Bills, the Ravens and Lions,
Speaker 2: all these teams were just there.
Speaker 3: It's not these.
Speaker 2: Crappy teams who are trying to rebuild. It's not Cleveland
Speaker 2: it's teams that could be in the Super next year
Speaker 2: with Miles Garrett on there.
Speaker 3: It's so unusual and so rare.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm thinking of the Packers getting Reggie White
Speaker 2: in the nineties, totally different circumstances.
Speaker 3: But this does not happen.
Speaker 2: So whatever you got, yes, get him, and he's probably
Speaker 2: going to go to a really good team that is
Speaker 2: so sick of talking about the Chiefs all the time
Speaker 2: and want so get this guy. If anyone was going
Speaker 2: to break through, maybe it is this year, and maybe
Speaker 2: it is Saquon, who I think is the greatest weapon
Speaker 2: offensive weapon that the Chiefs defense have faced in the
Speaker 2: Mahomes era.
Speaker 3: And you could have all.
Speaker 2: Of those guys, McCaffrey, Debo, Mike Evans, anybody you want
Speaker 2: in a Super Bowl. I think Saquon is the number
Speaker 2: one weapon that they have faced.
Speaker 3: How do you beat the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: It's it's extremely difficult, but it's actually very simple. The
Speaker 2: Eagles will win if they don't make any mistakes. You
Speaker 2: can't make any mistakes, and never mind the officiat and
Speaker 2: that's a different deal I'm talking about. You can't missn
Speaker 2: extra point, you can't miss the two point conversion, you
Speaker 2: can't get stopped on fourth and short. You can't have
Speaker 2: the big dumb turnover. We saw what the Bills did.
Speaker 2: Remember the Texans a couple of rounds ago. We're having
Speaker 2: all these kicking issues. Last time the Chiefs saw the
Speaker 2: Eagles in the Super Bowl, they made a huge mistake
Speaker 2: on the scoop and score fumble. Guys, let's just look
Speaker 2: at the last Super Bowl that they played against the Niners.
Speaker 3: The Niners missed an extra point, they.
Speaker 2: Got it blocked. You can't do this against the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: This would have made it a four point lead. They
Speaker 2: blocked the extra You cannot do that against the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: You can't make that play. You're gonna lose another thing.
Speaker 3: Earlier in this.
Speaker 2: Game, opening drive, Christian McCaffrey fumble opening drive of the game.
Speaker 2: It was Christian McCaffrey's first lost fumble in three months.
Speaker 2: You can't do this against the Chiefs. And you might say, oh,
Speaker 2: the Chiefs fumble. The Chiefs, they're the Chiefs. They can
Speaker 2: do it. You can't.
Speaker 3: They can make mistakes and get over it. You can't.
Speaker 2: She can't make these mistakes. McCaffrey was not a fumbler.
Speaker 2: Plays the Chiefs he fumbles, he loses that, they lose
Speaker 2: the game. And I'm calling it over the last couple
Speaker 2: of years, I'm calling it the errors Tour. Here are
Speaker 2: the mess ups over the last couple of years. All right,
Speaker 2: this year's player, last year's playoffs. Teams are missing two pointers,
Speaker 2: they're losing fumbles, five missed kicks, eleven drop passes.
Speaker 3: Those are all losses, all losses. You don't have to
Speaker 3: play a perfect game.
Speaker 2: You can have incomplete passes, you can have runs that
Speaker 2: don't go well, you can get sacked.
Speaker 3: You can't make a big miss. You can't even make one.
Speaker 2: Ask the Eagles, ask Jalen Hurts, play the game of
Speaker 2: his life. One mistake, see you later. Get out of
Speaker 2: our confetti. You can't make mistakes against the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: That's it. Don't do it, You'll win, do it, see
Speaker 3: you later.
Speaker 2: We know Howie Rosemand likes as Georgia guys, and you
Speaker 2: know a couple of them. Their names get set a
Speaker 2: little bit more, maybe more so than this guy. Nolan Smith, Junior,
Speaker 2: number three guys for the Philadelphia Eagles. Four sacks in
Speaker 2: the playoffs, not the season. In the playoffs, if the
Speaker 2: Eagles are going to win this game, someone needs to
Speaker 2: do a Brandon Graham impression, but not on Brady.
Speaker 3: On Mahomes.
Speaker 2: Someone needs to make a play and swat that right
Speaker 2: arm with Mahomes and get a fumble. Look at it,
Speaker 2: he's all over the snow. He's been a Terry's, Oliver,
Speaker 2: Jayden and Stafford. This is a guy who we look
Speaker 2: up at the fourth quarter of this game and we're like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, is Nolan Smith Junior gonna win.
Speaker 3: The MVP of this game?
Speaker 2: He has two sacks and a force fumble. Somebody needs
Speaker 2: to make a play, and if it's not going to
Speaker 2: be in the sacred needs to be upfront.
Speaker 3: We know Jalen Carter, we know some of the other.
Speaker 2: Guys look for number three in the Eagles to make
Speaker 2: up play that he's been doing it for the last month.
Speaker 2: I like this guy's chances, all right, So nineties bands.
Speaker 2: This is a little bit of a stretch from me.
Speaker 2: I don't know much about the topic, but I'll try anyway.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs, you have to when you continually lose to
Speaker 2: them and they win the Super Bowl every single year,
Speaker 2: every single year, you have to maintain your faith. You
Speaker 2: have to keep your faith and then when they lose,
Speaker 2: you know, you lose every single year, the Chiefs say, no, no,
Speaker 2: no faith, no more, my friends, it is gone faith
Speaker 2: no more. And you know what, They show up in
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl and they go look at their opponent
Speaker 2: and they say, you want.
Speaker 3: It all, but you can have it.
Speaker 2: But but that's what they say every single year. There
Speaker 2: is no more faith. It's always gonna be as you wanted,
Speaker 2: all the ring and the Lombardy, but you can't have
Speaker 2: it epic, the track and the team.
Speaker 3: Faith no more. The Chiefs conversation is frequent.
Speaker 2: I'm sure all of the New Orleans all over the
Speaker 2: country about the Eagles and Saquon and Saquon, and you
Speaker 2: can't talk about the Eagles winning this game. And Saquon's
Speaker 2: not in the first sentence. So I look at Nick
Speaker 2: Bolton on the other side, the linebacker for the Kansas
Speaker 2: City Chiefs. When Nick Bolton was in lone Star High
Speaker 2: School in Frisco, Texas, he had one hundred and thirty tackles.
Speaker 3: As a senior at Missouri, he.
Speaker 2: Had fifteen tackles in one game against Vanderbilt. In his
Speaker 2: last Super Bowl, Nick Bolton had thirteen tackles to lead
Speaker 2: all Chiefs. Nick Bolton needs to have one of these games.
Speaker 2: There is your Saquon guy. You know, you talk all
Speaker 2: the time about someone who who shadows or spies a
Speaker 2: running quarterback. I think thirty two for the Chiefs is
Speaker 2: looking at twenty six for the Eagles all day, and
Speaker 2: there they are colliding right there. It's a big, big
Speaker 2: time opportunity for Bolton. He was the hero in this
Speaker 2: last game. Of course, with the scoop and score. I
Speaker 2: don't even need that. I just need someone to get
Speaker 2: in Saquon's way, to get past Lane Johnson, to get
Speaker 2: pass my Lotta and Bolton.
Speaker 3: They got a lot of good tacklers on this scene.
Speaker 3: Bolton's probably the most celebrated of them, but he needs
Speaker 3: to have a superstar game.
Speaker 2: I think if Nick Bolton's name is not mentioned the
Speaker 2: lots by Burkhard and Brady, I think it's Saquon is
Speaker 2: doing really good things. I think thirty two in the
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs from Frisco, Texas by way of Lone
Speaker 2: Star High School and Missouri needs to have a massive,
Speaker 2: massive game because somebody's got to stop Saquon and he's
Speaker 2: coming right Knicks Gap. I don't expect Saquon to have
Speaker 2: a massive game. I really don't. I don't think this
Speaker 2: is gonna be Wow. Saquon at a one hundred and
Speaker 2: seventy yards and he's going to Disneyland. The Chiefs d
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs defensive coordinator is too good at that.
Speaker 2: But if you look over the season, if you look
Speaker 2: at those games where Saquon was bottled up those few games,
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, it's three worst games production wise for
Speaker 2: the Eagles.
Speaker 3: They won all three of.
Speaker 2: Them, and they won by an average of two touchdowns,
Speaker 2: So they understand how that works.
Speaker 3: Now, those weren't against the Chiefs. I understand that. But
Speaker 3: I think we've been lulled into and seduced.
Speaker 2: By Saquon's ability and just the prestige of what he's
Speaker 2: doing in his likability into thinking that this is really
Speaker 2: the Saquon Show. This is the best roster top to
Speaker 2: bottom in the NFL, the best roster top to bottom
Speaker 2: of the NFL.
Speaker 3: This is the Howe Roseman Special.
Speaker 2: Their defense is incredible, their wide receivers and their weapons
Speaker 2: are incredible. We have to stop thinking that Saquon needs
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty yards to give them a puncher's chance.
Speaker 2: It is a huge juggernaut of a team from top
Speaker 2: to bottom. I think the defense has to have a
Speaker 2: fantastic game. I think they have to win a pretty
Speaker 2: low scoring game. Like I think if the Eagles win
Speaker 2: this game, it's it's twenty to seventeen or twenty four
Speaker 2: to twenty one, something like.
Speaker 3: I don't think this is a game in the thirties.
Speaker 2: I think it's a fantastic segment for all of us
Speaker 2: to grab these clips on Monday. And if someone were
Speaker 2: to say, I don't know who it would be among
Speaker 2: us that know Saquon needs to have a massive game
Speaker 2: to beat the Chiefs, and that he doesn't and they do,
Speaker 2: it'll be.
Speaker 3: A fun cliptobay back.
Speaker 2: I don't think that he has to go crazy to
Speaker 2: beat them.
Speaker 3: They're really good.
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is incredibly unique, and this is his eight
Speaker 2: mile moments. This is his one shot, one opportunity, and
Speaker 2: yes it's his second one.
Speaker 3: He's trying to stop a three peat.
Speaker 2: I don't think a lot of people think he can
Speaker 2: win this game if Saquan's taken out of it. He's
Speaker 2: incredibly unique in the sense that he is perfect for Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: That's what we have learned for that head coach, for
Speaker 2: those wide receivers, for that fan base, for that media market.
Speaker 2: This guy does not blink when things are bad. He
Speaker 2: doesn't blink when things are good. He doesn't blink. Every
Speaker 2: press conference feels exactly the same, and that is perfect.
Speaker 3: He is steady. His pulse does not bounce. Remember he
Speaker 3: didn't start right away.
Speaker 2: He sat behind Carson Wentz, who is currently a backup
Speaker 2: on the other sideline for the other team. Mahomes Coronation
Speaker 2: Saquan's Coronation. Jalen Hurts has an incredible temperament for this team.
Speaker 2: He is calm as hell and he'll need to be
Speaker 2: if he wins this thing. He becomes a Philadelphia It's
Speaker 2: really cool.
