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 --> 00:00:16,684 Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:24,124 --> 00:00:26,644 Speaker 2: One of the reasons I like the NFL playoff system 4 00:00:26,724 --> 00:00:29,564 Speaker 2: is this unforgiving. We don't do a committee here, we don't 5 00:00:29,564 --> 00:00:32,724 Speaker 2: do eye tests, we do facts. Talk about it, wins 6 00:00:33,204 --> 00:00:37,244 Speaker 2: and losses. And you know there's this. The Bengals deserve. 7 00:00:37,484 --> 00:00:38,604 Speaker 2: They deserve to be in. 8 00:00:38,644 --> 00:00:40,844 Speaker 3: Bengals. I'm gonna pay you a compent. We deserve to 9 00:00:40,884 --> 00:00:41,124 Speaker 3: be in. 10 00:00:41,684 --> 00:00:44,964 Speaker 2: You are Gene Hackman in The Unforgiven, lying down on 11 00:00:45,004 --> 00:00:48,964 Speaker 2: the ground looking up at Clint, and Hackman says, I'm 12 00:00:49,004 --> 00:00:49,884 Speaker 2: building a house. 13 00:00:50,284 --> 00:00:52,724 Speaker 3: I don't deserve this. You know what Clint says to him, 14 00:00:52,884 --> 00:00:56,484 Speaker 3: deserves got nothing to do with it. Bad, it's nothing. 15 00:00:56,644 --> 00:01:00,724 Speaker 2: I don't care what you deserve. It's wins and losses. Yes, 16 00:01:00,844 --> 00:01:03,244 Speaker 2: you lost week one to Jacoby Brissette, and you lost 17 00:01:03,284 --> 00:01:06,044 Speaker 2: Week two, and you'll lost week three. Start a season, 18 00:01:06,364 --> 00:01:08,244 Speaker 2: have a training camp fore you start a season, because 19 00:01:08,244 --> 00:01:10,844 Speaker 2: you started one and four last year started one and three, 20 00:01:11,004 --> 00:01:12,724 Speaker 2: the year before that you started two and three. And 21 00:01:12,764 --> 00:01:15,564 Speaker 2: that's why on this show, all through September, what are 22 00:01:15,564 --> 00:01:18,124 Speaker 2: we all saying? Just stack wins. I don't care what 23 00:01:18,164 --> 00:01:19,924 Speaker 2: the score is with the stats are now to have 24 00:01:20,044 --> 00:01:23,164 Speaker 2: to win and Bengals fed just say Pittsburgh sucks. We 25 00:01:23,324 --> 00:01:26,284 Speaker 2: should be and said of Pittsburgh they hung forty four 26 00:01:26,404 --> 00:01:30,244 Speaker 2: on you five you couldn't stop them. I'm sorry, but 27 00:01:30,364 --> 00:01:33,004 Speaker 2: to quote everybody ever, you know, offense is only a 28 00:01:33,004 --> 00:01:35,124 Speaker 2: third of the game. You are at a great offense. 29 00:01:35,244 --> 00:01:38,444 Speaker 2: I loved it. It was really fun. You don't deserve it. 30 00:01:38,644 --> 00:01:42,364 Speaker 2: You didn't win enough. Don't come running late. It's exciting. 31 00:01:42,444 --> 00:01:44,044 Speaker 2: We all get our hair blown back by the come 32 00:01:44,124 --> 00:01:46,964 Speaker 2: running team. You've gotten at least going in, at least 33 00:01:47,084 --> 00:01:49,524 Speaker 2: keep up with the pack in September. I don't need 34 00:01:49,564 --> 00:01:51,524 Speaker 2: you to win out in September. Can you go five 35 00:01:51,604 --> 00:01:54,644 Speaker 2: hundred one of these years, then you'll get in. Believe me, 36 00:01:54,884 --> 00:01:57,004 Speaker 2: if you're walking around the office to say the Bengals 37 00:01:57,044 --> 00:02:00,684 Speaker 2: deserve to be in, deserves got nothing to do with it. 38 00:02:00,924 --> 00:02:02,444 Speaker 2: We'll see in mini camp. 39 00:02:04,324 --> 00:02:05,404 Speaker 3: Questions about the Mike Evans thing. 40 00:02:05,444 --> 00:02:07,444 Speaker 2: It's five yards short. You know the situation, they're at 41 00:02:07,484 --> 00:02:10,284 Speaker 2: eight points. Question number one. If Baker throws it to 42 00:02:10,324 --> 00:02:12,684 Speaker 2: him and it's incomplete, do they throw to him again? 43 00:02:13,124 --> 00:02:15,364 Speaker 3: And better better than this? So he needs five yards? 44 00:02:15,484 --> 00:02:17,324 Speaker 2: They throw it to Evans, he gets tackled for a 45 00:02:17,324 --> 00:02:19,844 Speaker 2: three yard game, do they call time out because they 46 00:02:19,884 --> 00:02:21,804 Speaker 2: had one left and throw it to him again? 47 00:02:22,404 --> 00:02:23,164 Speaker 3: I think that they do. 48 00:02:23,244 --> 00:02:25,564 Speaker 2: What if he's tackled right here and the Saints, by 49 00:02:25,564 --> 00:02:27,764 Speaker 2: the way, should have known maybe they were in on it, 50 00:02:27,884 --> 00:02:29,724 Speaker 2: But would they have gone so far as to use 51 00:02:29,764 --> 00:02:32,364 Speaker 2: their final timeout and again throw it to Evan just 52 00:02:32,404 --> 00:02:35,364 Speaker 2: against the thousand, because again, this is not just some 53 00:02:35,484 --> 00:02:38,484 Speaker 2: nothing game between two terrible teams or whatever, like the 54 00:02:38,484 --> 00:02:40,844 Speaker 2: Panthers and the Foulers were in this battle that maybe 55 00:02:40,844 --> 00:02:43,604 Speaker 2: the Bucks don't really know. Maybe they really needed to 56 00:02:43,644 --> 00:02:45,564 Speaker 2: win this game. And if it is a pick six, 57 00:02:45,884 --> 00:02:47,684 Speaker 2: could that not have cost him the playoffs? 58 00:02:47,724 --> 00:02:49,324 Speaker 3: I mean, it's an unbelievable thing. 59 00:02:49,684 --> 00:02:51,444 Speaker 2: I wish he would have been tackled short of the 60 00:02:51,444 --> 00:02:53,444 Speaker 2: sticks because I think Bulls is burning that time out 61 00:02:53,524 --> 00:02:56,924 Speaker 2: and throwing it to him again. Sean McVay was a 62 00:02:56,964 --> 00:02:59,844 Speaker 2: subjectent controversy yesterday. It's an interesting thing that he did. 63 00:03:00,244 --> 00:03:02,724 Speaker 2: So they're at home and he said, I'm gonna just 64 00:03:02,764 --> 00:03:05,404 Speaker 2: play the backups. I'm gonna start Garoppolo and Jeremy Jimmy 65 00:03:05,404 --> 00:03:07,924 Speaker 2: Garopolos were a whole bunch of yards. Understand that if 66 00:03:07,964 --> 00:03:11,364 Speaker 2: the Rams won that game, if they won yesterday, they 67 00:03:11,364 --> 00:03:14,204 Speaker 2: would be home next week against the Commanders. So it's 68 00:03:14,204 --> 00:03:16,524 Speaker 2: a rookie quarterback has never been there before. It seems 69 00:03:16,524 --> 00:03:19,964 Speaker 2: more desirable because if you lose that game, they're at 70 00:03:20,004 --> 00:03:22,724 Speaker 2: home next week against the Vikings, who hadn't lost the 71 00:03:22,764 --> 00:03:25,244 Speaker 2: game in three months. So you want to win, right, 72 00:03:25,644 --> 00:03:28,964 Speaker 2: McVeigh said, I don't care. I'm playing my backups. I 73 00:03:29,044 --> 00:03:31,564 Speaker 2: know my team, I know what we need. They lost 74 00:03:31,564 --> 00:03:34,044 Speaker 2: the game, and I love the decision that mcmay made. 75 00:03:34,204 --> 00:03:36,804 Speaker 3: His whole take was, look, we haven't had a week. 76 00:03:36,884 --> 00:03:37,604 Speaker 3: Six was our bye. 77 00:03:37,684 --> 00:03:39,564 Speaker 2: We've been going at this thing three months. 78 00:03:39,804 --> 00:03:42,044 Speaker 3: We got a quarterback who's getting up there in years. 79 00:03:42,044 --> 00:03:44,644 Speaker 2: We got wide receivers who battle through injury. I am 80 00:03:44,724 --> 00:03:47,524 Speaker 2: not in here to win a wild card game next week. 81 00:03:47,844 --> 00:03:50,044 Speaker 2: I want to win the Super Bowl this year. I'm 82 00:03:50,084 --> 00:03:53,244 Speaker 2: thinking long term. I'm going to rest my guys. We'll 83 00:03:53,244 --> 00:03:55,244 Speaker 2: try to win, but if we don't, we'll take our 84 00:03:55,324 --> 00:03:57,684 Speaker 2: chances with the Vikings. And by the way, I'm not 85 00:03:57,804 --> 00:04:00,284 Speaker 2: terrified of that matchup, especially after what I saw last night, 86 00:04:00,364 --> 00:04:02,764 Speaker 2: especially that the Rams have already beaten the Vikings in 87 00:04:02,804 --> 00:04:06,324 Speaker 2: that building in the commit a five game winning streak themselves. 88 00:04:06,404 --> 00:04:07,484 Speaker 3: I don't want Jaydon. 89 00:04:07,244 --> 00:04:09,164 Speaker 2: Daniels coming in there like Mike Vic going into the 90 00:04:09,204 --> 00:04:10,444 Speaker 2: Lambou and taking over the game. 91 00:04:11,084 --> 00:04:11,684 Speaker 3: Everybody. 92 00:04:12,004 --> 00:04:14,524 Speaker 2: I like that McVeigh. I know it's unconventional. You don't 93 00:04:14,524 --> 00:04:16,164 Speaker 2: want to do that. Who want to play the Vikings. 94 00:04:16,524 --> 00:04:18,564 Speaker 2: He knows his team, he knows his weaknesses, he knows 95 00:04:18,564 --> 00:04:19,124 Speaker 2: what they need. 96 00:04:19,364 --> 00:04:20,044 Speaker 3: And that is a. 97 00:04:20,004 --> 00:04:22,884 Speaker 2: Guy who has don't question me authority. He is a 98 00:04:22,924 --> 00:04:24,724 Speaker 2: made guy. If it's a young coach, what are you doing? 99 00:04:24,924 --> 00:04:27,524 Speaker 2: Mcveigh's like, I'm McVeagh, You're not. I'm resting them. I'm 100 00:04:27,564 --> 00:04:29,804 Speaker 2: gonna play Jimmy. If we lose, we'll take our chances. 101 00:04:29,884 --> 00:04:32,084 Speaker 2: I love the decision and I'm starting to feel like 102 00:04:32,084 --> 00:04:34,724 Speaker 2: it's going to pay off for him. I look at 103 00:04:34,724 --> 00:04:36,804 Speaker 2: who's got the most to lose this weekend as a player. 104 00:04:36,884 --> 00:04:38,764 Speaker 2: There are twelve quarterbacks who are going to be starting 105 00:04:38,764 --> 00:04:42,364 Speaker 2: this weekend. Ten of them are definitely starting Week one 106 00:04:42,484 --> 00:04:45,124 Speaker 2: for the team next season and hopefully years to come. 107 00:04:45,244 --> 00:04:47,044 Speaker 2: Two of them, I'm not sure if they're starting or 108 00:04:47,084 --> 00:04:48,804 Speaker 2: not yet. One of them is Russell Wilson, and we 109 00:04:48,844 --> 00:04:50,364 Speaker 2: talked about him a lot. You have to one of 110 00:04:50,364 --> 00:04:53,124 Speaker 2: Sam Donald, and it's okay to bring this up. Sam 111 00:04:53,204 --> 00:04:55,444 Speaker 2: Donald has developed this thing around me, has got this 112 00:04:55,564 --> 00:04:58,244 Speaker 2: protective halo where he seems like a really good guy 113 00:04:58,244 --> 00:04:58,964 Speaker 2: and a good teammate. 114 00:04:59,004 --> 00:05:00,004 Speaker 3: And it's a great story. 115 00:05:00,564 --> 00:05:02,404 Speaker 2: So everyone just wants to say, this is incredible, this 116 00:05:02,484 --> 00:05:05,004 Speaker 2: is so great, and it has been great. It was 117 00:05:05,084 --> 00:05:08,964 Speaker 2: really rough in Detroit, really rough, just objectively, it was tense, 118 00:05:09,044 --> 00:05:11,204 Speaker 2: it was tight. He made bad, froze, he didn't look 119 00:05:11,244 --> 00:05:14,404 Speaker 2: the part. And frankly, when you have someone like Sam 120 00:05:14,444 --> 00:05:16,764 Speaker 2: Donald's been in the league a long time, there's a 121 00:05:16,764 --> 00:05:20,244 Speaker 2: lot of scar tissue that comes up immediately. The fact is, 122 00:05:20,284 --> 00:05:24,804 Speaker 2: on Sam Donald, we have six years of average or 123 00:05:24,924 --> 00:05:28,084 Speaker 2: poor or backup play, and we have three months of 124 00:05:28,124 --> 00:05:31,404 Speaker 2: excellent play. Those six years count that you don't just 125 00:05:31,444 --> 00:05:33,244 Speaker 2: throw them away. It's not a half a season on 126 00:05:33,244 --> 00:05:36,124 Speaker 2: some team where he didn't play six years where for 127 00:05:36,204 --> 00:05:38,684 Speaker 2: whatever reason, what was around him, what wasn't he didn't 128 00:05:38,684 --> 00:05:38,964 Speaker 2: have it. 129 00:05:39,244 --> 00:05:40,924 Speaker 3: There's a tension with Sam Donald. 130 00:05:41,004 --> 00:05:44,484 Speaker 2: This is not a made guy, okay, especially the circumstances 131 00:05:44,524 --> 00:05:46,404 Speaker 2: of them losing. If they were to lose this weekend 132 00:05:46,444 --> 00:05:48,644 Speaker 2: again in la and I will go to the tried 133 00:05:48,684 --> 00:05:51,524 Speaker 2: and true relationship metaphor here, all right, you are with 134 00:05:51,604 --> 00:05:54,324 Speaker 2: someone in Sam Donald, who let's just say, has a 135 00:05:54,404 --> 00:05:56,604 Speaker 2: rocky passed or some baggage. 136 00:05:56,964 --> 00:05:59,244 Speaker 3: But it's going great, everything's wonderful. 137 00:05:59,364 --> 00:06:02,204 Speaker 2: You're in this beautiful montage mode and you're thinking about 138 00:06:02,204 --> 00:06:05,124 Speaker 2: popping the question, and then there's just this terrible night 139 00:06:05,164 --> 00:06:07,524 Speaker 2: out of nowhere where they're screaming at the waiter and 140 00:06:07,604 --> 00:06:09,724 Speaker 2: just being rude and I'm couth and falling over themselves. 141 00:06:10,004 --> 00:06:12,284 Speaker 3: Where did this come from? Who are you? Who? I 142 00:06:12,324 --> 00:06:13,284 Speaker 3: don't even know you. 143 00:06:13,804 --> 00:06:16,444 Speaker 2: In the meantime, there's this other person you've been talking 144 00:06:16,484 --> 00:06:18,764 Speaker 2: with who's young and promising and really likes you and 145 00:06:18,844 --> 00:06:20,444 Speaker 2: you have a future with him. Has got long hair 146 00:06:20,484 --> 00:06:22,804 Speaker 2: and looks and you know, it's like youthful and like wow, 147 00:06:22,844 --> 00:06:24,284 Speaker 2: I kind of like, are you sure you want to 148 00:06:24,284 --> 00:06:27,724 Speaker 2: pledge everything to them? It's sat unfair to talk that 149 00:06:27,804 --> 00:06:29,644 Speaker 2: Sam Donald has had a really hard time in this 150 00:06:29,724 --> 00:06:31,404 Speaker 2: league up until this year, and had a really hard 151 00:06:31,444 --> 00:06:33,804 Speaker 2: time in Detroit. If he comes out in this game 152 00:06:34,044 --> 00:06:37,324 Speaker 2: and he throws an early pick or there's a misthrow 153 00:06:37,404 --> 00:06:40,404 Speaker 2: to Justin Jefferson, it's gonna those six years come out. 154 00:06:40,484 --> 00:06:42,044 Speaker 2: Those six years don't get to go away. You don't 155 00:06:42,084 --> 00:06:43,524 Speaker 2: just make them all go away. I think he has 156 00:06:43,564 --> 00:06:46,004 Speaker 2: a lot to prove. I think if he plays poorly 157 00:06:46,044 --> 00:06:48,764 Speaker 2: in this game, if he loses, I don't think he's 158 00:06:48,764 --> 00:06:51,044 Speaker 2: the Viking starting quarterback next year in my opinion. And 159 00:06:51,084 --> 00:06:53,164 Speaker 2: maybe that's a rational decision. Maybe it's not what does 160 00:06:53,204 --> 00:06:54,724 Speaker 2: he have to play for, never mind the win. He 161 00:06:54,724 --> 00:06:56,284 Speaker 2: has to play for the rest of his career. Here 162 00:06:56,284 --> 00:06:59,124 Speaker 2: there's our big, big time stakes with Sam Donald against 163 00:06:59,124 --> 00:07:02,004 Speaker 2: the Rams. I look at all the games this weekend 164 00:07:02,044 --> 00:07:03,724 Speaker 2: in terms of what's most to gain. I look at 165 00:07:03,764 --> 00:07:07,844 Speaker 2: what would be the craziest outcome, the most shocking outcome. 166 00:07:07,924 --> 00:07:10,844 Speaker 2: I don't think it's Pittsburgh beating Baltimore. I'd be mildly surprised, 167 00:07:10,884 --> 00:07:14,084 Speaker 2: even though Pittsburgh's not playing well. It's definitely Denver in Buffalo. 168 00:07:14,164 --> 00:07:16,164 Speaker 2: That's the one that would flip the table. Holy crap, 169 00:07:16,164 --> 00:07:18,484 Speaker 2: the Bills lost at home to a rookie quarterback. So 170 00:07:18,524 --> 00:07:20,484 Speaker 2: I think it's Sean Payton. I think it's the Broncos 171 00:07:20,524 --> 00:07:22,884 Speaker 2: head coach by far, because we're in the playoffs now, guys, 172 00:07:22,884 --> 00:07:26,124 Speaker 2: everybody's in. This is when the coaches show themselves in 173 00:07:26,164 --> 00:07:28,364 Speaker 2: a good way or in a bad way. Sean Payn 174 00:07:28,364 --> 00:07:31,084 Speaker 2: has won nine playoff games in his career. He's four 175 00:07:31,084 --> 00:07:32,884 Speaker 2: and two in the wild Card. He'd been to the 176 00:07:32,964 --> 00:07:36,204 Speaker 2: dance many times. Sean mcderm's five and six in the playoffs. 177 00:07:36,324 --> 00:07:38,964 Speaker 2: All right, there's a mismatch already in terms of playoffs wins. 178 00:07:39,324 --> 00:07:41,324 Speaker 2: The specifics of this game are very interesting to me. 179 00:07:41,444 --> 00:07:43,924 Speaker 2: And here's a pivotal part of it. Josh Allen does 180 00:07:43,964 --> 00:07:46,284 Speaker 2: not get sacked this year. The old line is amazing. 181 00:07:46,324 --> 00:07:47,764 Speaker 2: It is one of the best things that they do 182 00:07:47,844 --> 00:07:51,284 Speaker 2: is he does not get sacked. The Broncos lead the 183 00:07:51,364 --> 00:07:56,124 Speaker 2: league in sacks number one. They have sixteen players with 184 00:07:56,164 --> 00:07:59,844 Speaker 2: a sack, including three defensive backs. They sack you. The 185 00:07:59,884 --> 00:08:02,364 Speaker 2: Bills don't get sacked. That's where this game is going 186 00:08:02,404 --> 00:08:04,524 Speaker 2: to be won and lost. And I think Denver's coming 187 00:08:04,564 --> 00:08:07,644 Speaker 2: for him. I really do. In terms of nothing to lose, 188 00:08:08,084 --> 00:08:10,244 Speaker 2: the Bracos have zero to lose, and I'll. 189 00:08:10,084 --> 00:08:10,604 Speaker 3: Tell you why. 190 00:08:10,724 --> 00:08:13,684 Speaker 2: If they go to Buffalo and lose thirty three to ten, 191 00:08:14,084 --> 00:08:16,844 Speaker 2: every single person in their organization should enjoy their vacation. 192 00:08:17,004 --> 00:08:18,324 Speaker 3: They earned the hell out of it. 193 00:08:18,444 --> 00:08:22,124 Speaker 2: We lost tough draw, we played at Buffalo, amazing season. 194 00:08:22,284 --> 00:08:25,204 Speaker 2: Understand they're in the playoffs the last time they were 195 00:08:25,244 --> 00:08:28,124 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. It's Peyton and Vaughn and Gary Kubiak. 196 00:08:28,244 --> 00:08:30,724 Speaker 2: Peyton's been retired from early a decade. Vn, who they'll 197 00:08:30,764 --> 00:08:32,484 Speaker 2: be seeing this weekend, has won a Super Bowl with 198 00:08:32,604 --> 00:08:36,084 Speaker 2: another team. Gary Kubiak is now advising a team in Poland. 199 00:08:36,164 --> 00:08:38,524 Speaker 2: I looked it up like a lot has changed since 200 00:08:38,524 --> 00:08:40,044 Speaker 2: they've even been in the playoffs. 201 00:08:40,044 --> 00:08:41,804 Speaker 3: The fact that they're there is awesome. 202 00:08:42,044 --> 00:08:45,644 Speaker 2: But if they win this thing, then Sean Payton rockets 203 00:08:45,684 --> 00:08:47,764 Speaker 2: back into the club exist the best coach in the NFL, 204 00:08:47,804 --> 00:08:50,044 Speaker 2: A club that he was in for years, all of 205 00:08:50,044 --> 00:08:53,044 Speaker 2: that mess with Russell Wilson, all that NA says, distant. 206 00:08:52,564 --> 00:08:54,324 Speaker 3: Memory and bo Nix. 207 00:08:54,484 --> 00:08:57,004 Speaker 2: If he wins this, he's then on the precipice of 208 00:08:57,004 --> 00:08:59,364 Speaker 2: tying the rookie record for playoff wins, which is just two. 209 00:08:59,684 --> 00:09:01,644 Speaker 2: He's not gonna win Rookie of the Year. This would 210 00:09:01,644 --> 00:09:03,964 Speaker 2: be way bigger than Rookie of the Year, way more 211 00:09:04,004 --> 00:09:05,244 Speaker 2: memory to go into Buffalo. 212 00:09:05,484 --> 00:09:07,884 Speaker 3: It's gonna be a tough draw. It's really really tough. 213 00:09:08,164 --> 00:09:10,884 Speaker 2: But the most to gain by far, with nothing to lose, 214 00:09:10,964 --> 00:09:15,084 Speaker 2: is everybody reps in the dever Broncos, everybody top to bottom. 215 00:09:15,204 --> 00:09:17,444 Speaker 2: Is there any chance Josh Allen comes out tight. 216 00:09:17,284 --> 00:09:19,804 Speaker 3: In this game? And I said no, We've seen Josh 217 00:09:19,844 --> 00:09:21,444 Speaker 3: Allen tight in a playoff game. It was his first 218 00:09:21,484 --> 00:09:22,444 Speaker 3: one ever against Houston. 219 00:09:22,484 --> 00:09:24,444 Speaker 2: It's the only time he's ever lost in the wildcard 220 00:09:24,524 --> 00:09:26,524 Speaker 2: round and it was one of the strangest performances you'll 221 00:09:26,524 --> 00:09:28,924 Speaker 2: ever see. He was a ball of nerves, not in 222 00:09:28,964 --> 00:09:30,404 Speaker 2: this game. Do you know how good he's been in 223 00:09:30,444 --> 00:09:34,404 Speaker 2: the wildcard over the years? Unbelievably good and productive. And 224 00:09:34,444 --> 00:09:36,684 Speaker 2: I said it earlier in the show. He doesn't get sacked. 225 00:09:37,084 --> 00:09:39,924 Speaker 2: The Denver Broncos sacked teams more than any other team 226 00:09:39,964 --> 00:09:40,324 Speaker 2: in the league. 227 00:09:40,364 --> 00:09:42,084 Speaker 3: It's the number one. He's gonna do. 228 00:09:42,044 --> 00:09:44,124 Speaker 2: This move where the defensive tackle gets through and he 229 00:09:44,204 --> 00:09:46,564 Speaker 2: stiff arms him while holding the ball back. It's kind 230 00:09:46,604 --> 00:09:48,724 Speaker 2: of his signature move. It's a crazy thing to do, 231 00:09:49,004 --> 00:09:51,124 Speaker 2: but he totally gets off with it. The only way 232 00:09:51,164 --> 00:09:53,084 Speaker 2: that Broncos win this game is they sack him four 233 00:09:53,164 --> 00:09:54,884 Speaker 2: or five times. It's going to be a battle on 234 00:09:54,924 --> 00:09:57,004 Speaker 2: the battle. My gosh, he loves that stuff. 235 00:09:57,044 --> 00:09:57,484 Speaker 3: Look at him. 236 00:09:57,524 --> 00:09:59,284 Speaker 2: He always wants the penalty and he got it. This 237 00:09:59,324 --> 00:10:01,124 Speaker 2: is the guy I'm watching hundreds. I still think he 238 00:10:01,164 --> 00:10:03,044 Speaker 2: and Lamar never mind how the two best. I think 239 00:10:03,044 --> 00:10:05,524 Speaker 2: they're the most watchable play in the NFL. And they 240 00:10:05,524 --> 00:10:08,844 Speaker 2: both go this week, and I'm in When coaches get 241 00:10:09,044 --> 00:10:11,844 Speaker 2: fired this quickly, and we saw it with Gerard Mayo, 242 00:10:12,084 --> 00:10:14,364 Speaker 2: there has to be two factors. In my opinion. You 243 00:10:14,804 --> 00:10:17,124 Speaker 2: lose a whole bunch, but it's more than just losing. 244 00:10:17,244 --> 00:10:20,564 Speaker 2: You embarrass the organization and you fumble things and you 245 00:10:20,604 --> 00:10:23,364 Speaker 2: embarrass yourself. I think that's what happened to girod Mao 246 00:10:23,444 --> 00:10:24,844 Speaker 2: is there was a lot of unsightly things in the 247 00:10:24,844 --> 00:10:26,244 Speaker 2: meeting and they're like, we're losing. 248 00:10:25,964 --> 00:10:27,404 Speaker 3: And this is bad. You're gone. 249 00:10:27,644 --> 00:10:29,644 Speaker 2: I don't know if I see that for Pierce, and 250 00:10:30,284 --> 00:10:32,404 Speaker 2: it's always like, how do we finish the season? Well, 251 00:10:32,484 --> 00:10:33,724 Speaker 2: they won two games in a row, they won the 252 00:10:33,764 --> 00:10:35,244 Speaker 2: last two out of three. They seem to play hard. 253 00:10:35,244 --> 00:10:37,204 Speaker 2: It wasn't I didn't feel like the players were quitting 254 00:10:37,244 --> 00:10:40,084 Speaker 2: on them. But you fired him? Why because he couldn't 255 00:10:40,124 --> 00:10:43,124 Speaker 2: win a wild card with no quarterback. This was a 256 00:10:43,164 --> 00:10:45,444 Speaker 2: strange one to me, and it's it shouldn't be because 257 00:10:45,444 --> 00:10:47,164 Speaker 2: I look at that logo and I'm like, I don't 258 00:10:47,204 --> 00:10:49,044 Speaker 2: know they're just kind of having a house party over there, 259 00:10:49,084 --> 00:10:51,284 Speaker 2: and the owner is kind of this wild rock star 260 00:10:51,324 --> 00:10:52,644 Speaker 2: and he does whatever he wants. 261 00:10:52,364 --> 00:10:53,564 Speaker 3: And fire this and fire that. 262 00:10:53,964 --> 00:10:56,044 Speaker 2: Moving forward, I've never been more intrigued though about what 263 00:10:56,084 --> 00:10:57,044 Speaker 2: they do, because we've never. 264 00:10:56,884 --> 00:10:58,004 Speaker 3: Had a situation like this. 265 00:10:58,604 --> 00:11:01,164 Speaker 2: Is it going to be something that's kind of matches 266 00:11:01,244 --> 00:11:02,964 Speaker 2: that Maxie I just talk about. I mean, as Dan 267 00:11:03,004 --> 00:11:04,244 Speaker 2: Sanders is gonna be the head coach of the race, 268 00:11:04,364 --> 00:11:06,044 Speaker 2: as they say screw it, let's just have a party, 269 00:11:06,364 --> 00:11:10,244 Speaker 2: or is it something wildly conventional like Rabel or Ben Johnson. 270 00:11:10,244 --> 00:11:12,684 Speaker 2: But I go back to Peter's last point. You're Vrabel, 271 00:11:12,724 --> 00:11:14,484 Speaker 2: You're Ben Johnson, You're the bells of the ball. You 272 00:11:14,484 --> 00:11:16,844 Speaker 2: can pretty much pick your team. What is it that 273 00:11:16,964 --> 00:11:19,044 Speaker 2: is picked making you pick the Raiders? Like, what is 274 00:11:19,044 --> 00:11:20,804 Speaker 2: it like, I'm gonna stay there for a long time, 275 00:11:20,844 --> 00:11:23,204 Speaker 2: We're gonna win, I'm gonna beat the Chiefs, We're gonna 276 00:11:23,204 --> 00:11:25,364 Speaker 2: be in the playoffs. Like what makes you think looking there, 277 00:11:25,364 --> 00:11:27,244 Speaker 2: that they're gonna do that? And if you don't do it, 278 00:11:27,244 --> 00:11:29,004 Speaker 2: what makes you think they're not gonna immediately fire you. 279 00:11:29,084 --> 00:11:31,244 Speaker 2: It's a tough gig right now, It's not that appealing 280 00:11:31,324 --> 00:11:33,204 Speaker 2: not only the quarterback, but the fact that if you 281 00:11:33,204 --> 00:11:34,804 Speaker 2: don't win with that one, out of here. 282 00:11:43,084 --> 00:11:45,884 Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership 283 00:11:45,924 --> 00:11:49,324 Speaker 1: with I heart Radio.
