Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: You know that it was reported during the game they
Speaker 2: had dan Quinn's pregame message to the Commanders and it
Speaker 2: really fired me up, and it's just like perfect coaching rhetoric.
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn's message was that, guys, we're not playing with
Speaker 2: house money, we're playing for rent money and rent is due.
Speaker 3: And I was like, yeah, Ronald delivered it so well, right, Noll.
Speaker 2: They's absolutely stuck the landing during the broadcast, and it's
Speaker 2: a vintage dan Quinn thing, and you know, I'm tempted
Speaker 2: to say, it's coach talk. You're playing with house money
Speaker 2: and you know you got this crazy ron Fine, the
Speaker 2: season is over, but I'm always reminded this time of
Speaker 2: year that there is a great myth in the NFL,
Speaker 2: and that myth is, as a young, great quarterback, you'll
Speaker 2: get yours. Eventually you'll be back. That's nonsense, guys. That's
Speaker 2: to say that the Jade Daniels Commanders will be some
Speaker 2: sort of mainstay late in the playoffs is naive.
Speaker 3: It's very naive. It happens all the time.
Speaker 2: I remember a few years ago, this heartbreaking loss in
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl for Joe Burrow.
Speaker 3: Oh, someone of his talent, he'll get his he'll be back. Willie,
Speaker 3: I don't know, you don't know.
Speaker 2: Even somebody you know last year brock Purty loses an
Speaker 2: overtime and it's like, well, you're part of that forty
Speaker 2: nine ers machine. You'll be are you sure, brock Perty.
Speaker 2: When you get a shot, you cash it in. It
Speaker 2: doesn't matter if you're a rookie or in your twentieth season. Look,
Speaker 2: I'll go further back. A guy who actually won one,
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is standing on the podium with Clay Matthews
Speaker 2: and a heavyweight belt as the confetti falls, and it's like,
Speaker 2: how many will Rogers win? He never even got back
Speaker 2: to the game. And it's probably the most talented quarterback ever.
Speaker 3: Before him was Marino.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Marino gets when really young, never makes it back.
Speaker 2: So I'm tempted to say, yeah, it's house money, they'll
Speaker 2: you don't know, you don't know, injuries, you don't know
Speaker 2: the opposition.
Speaker 3: I think dan Quinn was right the hardest.
Speaker 2: He tried to sell that message of let's cash it
Speaker 2: and now we may never be back.
Speaker 3: They may never be back. It's not just this assured thing.
Speaker 2: Well, well, their quarterback is good and they have a
Speaker 2: coach who everyone likes. So I'm sure you're positive in
Speaker 2: the long term future of this ownership group and this
Speaker 2: GM group, Like we love what they did this year,
Speaker 2: Now do it again. It's way, way, way, way harder.
Speaker 2: There's nothing as a shirt. The AFC title game is
Speaker 2: so layered and it's so complicated, and there's so many
Speaker 2: different ways to look at it. In this rivalry, in
Speaker 2: this matchup, this game was like big strong guy beats
Speaker 2: up weaker guy and just keeps punching him until someone
Speaker 2: drags him off them. The much better team won the
Speaker 2: much more talented team.
Speaker 3: One Peter said.
Speaker 2: Seven rushing touchdowns, It's true, seven touchdowns and ten possessions
Speaker 2: Like that's They won by thirty two points in the
Speaker 2: title game.
Speaker 3: You just don't see. You don't score fifty.
Speaker 2: Five points in an NFC title game.
Speaker 3: Far better.
Speaker 2: And it's like when the Eagles really really wield that
Speaker 2: talent and they wield that roster, they'll beat anybody.
Speaker 3: It's this you watch that game.
Speaker 2: If you had never seen either of these two teams played,
Speaker 2: you would never think this is a title game. They
Speaker 2: look way, way, way way better. And this I agree
Speaker 2: with the same thing. This Jalen Hurts played really well,
Speaker 2: made plays, running, made plays throwing. You can't beat them
Speaker 2: when they do all that stuff. I will say this,
Speaker 2: like the Jane Daniels thing, this was not something we're like, wow,
Speaker 2: finally the rookie.
Speaker 3: It wasn't that at all.
Speaker 2: He was good.
Speaker 3: He was very good.
Speaker 2: In fact, like I had this feeling about, is there
Speaker 2: any way that the Commanders could let Jayden win this game?
Speaker 2: Because I don't think his teammates picked it up for
Speaker 2: him at all.
Speaker 3: Due respect to this guy, we all love him.
Speaker 2: You can't have zach Ertz be your best player in
Speaker 2: an NFC title game just because he's older and he
Speaker 2: plays a role.
Speaker 3: He was their best player.
Speaker 2: He kept hitting zach Ertz time and time and time again,
Speaker 2: playing in his old stadium against some of his former teammates,
Speaker 2: but everybody else. We had one quick flash of McLaurin
Speaker 2: and everybody just fumbling and dropping and fumbling.
Speaker 3: It's like, what that happened? Guys?
Speaker 2: I thought this was gonna happen in the wild card around.
Speaker 2: Maybe this team has gotten so smooth and so mistake
Speaker 2: free and Jayden was completely up to the part. I
Speaker 2: just wish the rest of the commanders had been too,
Speaker 2: because they did not have anything.
Speaker 3: Really, this was not a great day for the commander.
Speaker 2: There is a widespread sentiments going into these games and
Speaker 2: coming out of them that please, like Josh Allen, be
Speaker 2: the hero, not for the Buffalo Bills, but for the
Speaker 2: planet Earth, for the United States, for every football fan,
Speaker 2: Please beat the Chiefs. And you can pull up every
Speaker 2: Internet joke about and you show the country and who
Speaker 2: they're rooting for. And this tiny little thing in Missouri
Speaker 2: and Kansas is rooting for the Chiefs and everyone else
Speaker 2: is rooting against them.
Speaker 3: Openly. I do not feel that way. I do not
Speaker 3: agree with that.
Speaker 2: I am a Bills enthusiast of sorts, but there is
Speaker 2: no part of this as the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: I'm sick of it.
Speaker 2: And if you're looking for that from this show, certainly
Speaker 2: for me, don't come to me for that. I do
Speaker 2: not feel that way. I am not here to say that,
Speaker 2: here to say I have huge respect for a quarterback
Speaker 2: who is seventeen and three in the playoffs in playoff games,
Speaker 2: who has won nine straight playoff games, nine straight.
Speaker 3: That is the fifth straight win.
Speaker 2: This team and this quarterback is having the playoffs by
Speaker 2: single digits. It's the longest streak in NFL history. Patrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes has seventeen playoff wins. He's already halfway pretty much
Speaker 2: to Brady's record, and he's still.
Speaker 3: In his twenties.
Speaker 2: I am not going to come here and say they
Speaker 2: suck their the dark Empire, this evil dynasty.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: This is the inevitable stage of any dynasty.
Speaker 3: You always reach this.
Speaker 2: And if you're screaming about officials, go ahead and do it.
Speaker 2: If it makes you feel better, I bet it makes
Speaker 2: you feel worse. The Patriots they finally got to their cheaters.
Speaker 2: The Yankees bought all their championships, and the Chiefs get
Speaker 2: all the calls from the referees.
Speaker 3: That is how it is.
Speaker 2: You can't really find a dynasty where it doesn't something
Speaker 2: creep up like that. Just the best part is if
Speaker 2: they drive you crazy, though, if you really hate the Chiefs,
Speaker 2: and you're hating me right now for saying this, at
Speaker 2: some point they will lose. At some point someone's gonna
Speaker 2: get them. I don't know when and I don't know who,
Speaker 2: but when they do, it will be historic it will
Speaker 2: be so satisfying for you, the hater, that they finally
Speaker 2: got them, and it's like Goldberg's unconscious and they sprayp
Speaker 2: nWo across his chest. It'll be the most glorious win.
Speaker 2: And then you'll have your moment. Someone will get them, okay.
Speaker 2: And of course, of course I'm a human being.
Speaker 3: I talked about the NFL for a living. I would
Speaker 3: have liked to see something fresh. Of course.
Speaker 2: Of course we've talked a lot about the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: We've talked a lot about the Eagles. Something fresh to
Speaker 3: chew on and to talk about. But you know what
Speaker 3: I respect about the Chiefs. They don't give a damn.
Speaker 2: They don't care that you're sick of them, or that
Speaker 2: I want something fresh, or that people are bored with them.
Speaker 3: They're embracing it. We don't kevin damn.
Speaker 2: We're gonna win anyway, and I have to respect them.
Speaker 2: You might hate them, you might not even respect them.
Speaker 2: I respect them, and I respect We're seeing two teams
Speaker 2: in the super Bowl but no one wanted, who are
Speaker 2: combined thirty four and five and will probably have a.
Speaker 3: Hell of a game.
Speaker 2: That's where I come out. If you're coming from the
Speaker 2: Chiefs hate for me. I'm not giving it to you.
Speaker 2: I have nothing but respect, do you, guys? Hear this
Speaker 2: thing at Saquon Barkley's birthday is on Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaker 3: It's a really cool deal. Just it's really fun.
Speaker 2: It won't be mentioned at all for the next couple week,
Speaker 2: certainly not during the broadcast.
Speaker 3: My headline is very easy. What's the difference between the last game?
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley is now part of the Eagles and you're
Speaker 2: going to hear this a lots, So let's just get
Speaker 2: it out here now. Steve Spagnolo, as the Chiefs defensive
Speaker 2: quarter to be defensive coordinator, has never given up one
Speaker 2: hundred yard rusher in the playoffs. Since he showed up,
Speaker 2: there has never been a one hundred yard rusher against
Speaker 2: the Chiefs in the playoffs. Saquon Barkley has has one
Speaker 2: hundred yards in nine of the last ten games.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 2: One of those games is over two hundred, another is
Speaker 2: over two fifty. Spags does not let you get to
Speaker 2: one hundred. In fact, if you look back at all
Speaker 2: the Chiefs playoffs game under Spagnolo, here's the list of
Speaker 2: the top rushers in any of these games. Lenny in
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl that spacked lost eighty nine, Mixing got
Speaker 2: him twice for hyats Alan eighty eight. And then over
Speaker 2: the weekend James Cook, who didn't touch the ball in the.
Speaker 3: Last possession eighty five. That's it.
Speaker 2: And in that list, there's some dogs who are missing.
Speaker 2: They've gone against Derrick Henry, Nitschebb, Nachi Harris, Carlos Hyde,
Speaker 2: a couple of times against Rhem Moster Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3: None of them touched one hundred yards.
Speaker 2: And that would include Jalen Hurts in that Super Bowl
Speaker 2: in which he was so good.
Speaker 3: Here's the deal, playing and simple.
Speaker 2: We have the greatest defensive coordinator of this era versus
Speaker 2: one of the greatest running back seasons ever.
Speaker 3: What's it gonna be.
Speaker 2: I don't think the Eagles can win this game of
Speaker 2: Saquon doesn't have one hundred yards.
Speaker 3: I really don't.
Speaker 2: I think the Chiefs defense is that good. I think
Speaker 2: Hurts is good in the passing game.
Speaker 3: I respect it. Saquon is the best player on their team.
Speaker 2: And if we look up and he's got the end
Speaker 2: of the game eighty seven yards, ninety two yards, ninety
Speaker 2: nine yards, I think the Chiefs are going to win.
Speaker 2: So something's got to give here. Spags has never given
Speaker 2: it up. Nobody can stop saquon which one's gonna be?
Speaker 2: If you're looking for me to come here in this morning,
Speaker 2: anybody to say it's time to look at Sean McDermott.
Speaker 3: You're bleeping crazy. You are nuts.
Speaker 2: You are not if they said by Sean McDermott you
Speaker 2: were just in the title game, do you remember what it.
Speaker 3: Used to be like?
Speaker 2: You remember what it was like before McDermott he was
Speaker 2: at you guys had nothing, You were just You can't
Speaker 2: beat the Chiefs. So should they fire John Harbaugh too?
Speaker 3: Shud? They just fire everybody who's not Andy Reid? Ridiculous.
Speaker 3: I know everyone's emotional and reactionary.
Speaker 2: If you're coming for Sean mcdermot's head, you need to
Speaker 2: check your own, all right.
Speaker 3: So here's where I come out. Bear with me on this, guys.
Speaker 2: We now have at least two or three weeks of
Speaker 2: a lot of Eagles talk. So because of that, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna try to stay positive as much as I can.
Speaker 2: With Dom Desandro dom Desandro aka Big Dom, is the
Speaker 2: head of security for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 3: He's down on the sideline.
Speaker 2: He's also as in charge of game day coaching operations.
Speaker 3: I do have one question though, here's.
Speaker 2: My rewind they probably should be a head scratch of.
Speaker 3: But we'll do it anyway.
Speaker 2: Here you're gonna see the play on the sideline, You're
Speaker 2: gonna see Big Dom. Why is Dom wearing a headset?
Speaker 2: Why does Big Dom have a coaching headset on over
Speaker 2: his white hat with the Italian flag. I need to
Speaker 2: know what's going on there and why is that necessary.
Speaker 2: I do have one theory it's actually he's not wired
Speaker 2: into the Eagles communication. He's actually wired into the Fox
Speaker 2: truck to see where all the cameras are so he
Speaker 2: can be the best position to be on them.
Speaker 3: That's my work in theory.
Speaker 2: I've also heard that maybe he's in touch with the
Speaker 2: delicatessen for after the game, and that's who he's talking to.
Speaker 2: I'm going to try to stay positive, but I just
Speaker 2: I don't understand why he is so ubiquitous, why he's
Speaker 2: always on camera.
Speaker 3: He's all heart and Eagles love him.
Speaker 2: I would like an explanation for the headset, though, I
Speaker 2: would really would for the Pro Bowl games.
Speaker 3: This is what I want to see. Social media competition. Yeah,
Speaker 3: here's how it works.
Speaker 2: You line up, it's attached to the jumbo tron. Each
Speaker 2: player walks up, They're given a phone and a topic
Speaker 2: and just tweet or post something and we'll see who
Speaker 2: has the best one and they're all going to go
Speaker 2: and then you know who's going to come in and
Speaker 2: clean up all of them. Marlon Humphrey from The Ravens. Look,
Speaker 2: he's a very good player. He understands social media. Want
Speaker 2: to see a little bit of his work with this
Speaker 2: guy just goes Marlon Humphrey will get a reaction from whatever.
Speaker 3: Whoever stole my package.
Speaker 2: You're a loser, and I bet you don't even golf.
Speaker 2: And if you do golf, I hope you have three
Speaker 2: parts per Life's great tweet he's talking about. I think
Speaker 2: he has one on a parenthood a few weeks in
Speaker 2: with this kid thing.
Speaker 3: Why son really be crying for no reason?
Speaker 2: I'd be trying to get into chill, but I haven't
Speaker 2: found the recipe just yet. Marlon very relatable. And then
Speaker 2: how about this something everybody loves me and wife? You
Speaker 2: tried to watch Game of Thrones the other day. It's
Speaker 2: absolutely trash. That's a great tweet. In the sense that
Speaker 2: it's gonna draw so much reaction, so I want to
Speaker 2: see the social media competition, old school style.
Speaker 3: Oh we got more. I forgot how taxing this office?
Speaker 3: I love it means all in an agent.
Speaker 2: Of chaos, like the Joker with his head out the
Speaker 2: squad right.
Speaker 3: Hate the letter just in the wind. That's Marlon Humphrey
Speaker 3: of the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 2: Everyone else would choke up to get second place.
