Speaker 1 (00:04):
Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
with iHeartRadio. Ten Takes ten minutes. We set at the
beginning of this season we would reach in every week
we would do that, we would deliver it to you.
Guess what last week's episode was our one hundredth take.

(00:26):
We've delivered one hundred takes in one hundred minutes, which
means we're starting today with one oh one. It's episode eleven.
Thank you for clicking, Thank you for listening. We are
the side items show. It's short form, it's quick, it's
fast food. If you want the long turkey that takes
fifteen hours to cook, you go somewhere else. There's a
three hour podcast on true crime or what's really happening

(00:46):
in the plastics in the environment. You can listen to
that if you want to this one razor thin Quick
ten Takes in ten minutes. Here comes Take one hundred
and one in minute one hundred and one. Start the clock.
Best story in the NFL is the Denver Broncos. It

(01:07):
is also the longest win streak in the NFL, and
they got that win streak by ending the prior longest
win streak in the NFL. Which is the Minnesota Vikings.
Broncos over Vikings. It's really cool to see what Sean
Payton's doing, because it wasn't cool for a long time.
He shows up and it's all this draconian, tough guy

(01:27):
nonsense about no bucket hats on the sidelines during preseason
games and no in game interviews and no sunglasses. I
don't know, easy Sean being kind of a jerk. And
then you start one and five, like, Sewn, you look ridiculous.
Why don't you just go back and take a victory
lap and try to kneecap Nathaniel Hackett one more time?
They look bad, and now it looks really good. All
those like buzzwords that they stencile on weight room walls

(01:47):
and high schools and pro teams alike, like culture and
believe and all that stuff, it kind of works. You
show up and you watch the Broncos. They basically have
the same roster they did last year when they were
in embarrassments. It's not major changes. It's just different coaches.
It's different hashtag culture, it's different hashtag believe. It's really cool.

(02:08):
Russell Wilson and Courtland Sutton have this crazy chemistry I'm
talking about Courtland Sutton in take number one, about an
entire NFL weekend. I am because he has five straight
games with a touchdown, including a game winner. Bronco's number
one story in the league right now. It's really cool
and they have a big game this weekend. Take number two,
Ah Brown's had the best one of the week. The
Cleveland Browns had the best win of the week over

(02:29):
the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dorian Thompson Robinson. Not a lot of
famous Dorians. I can think of the portrait of Dorian
Gray I read in high school English. But I'll tell
you what he was, the portrait of a clutch quarterback
in the fourth quarter. You know why I credit for that.
And again a lot of coaching talk this week. Kevin
Stefanski sees the Shawn Watson get hit by lightning, is

(02:50):
out for the season, and he has a choice. My god,
we have a really good record and a really good defense.
What the hell am I supposed to do? So we
just trade for somebody out there. Should we pull somebody
off the street like the Rams tried to do with
Carson Wentz. Should we hand it to PJ Walker, who's
been around and played some football. Yea, we ship pop
do that? No, screw it. I like DTR. I know
it was abysmol against the Ravens. They threw three interceptions

(03:11):
and completed nine passes, but that was a tough circumstance.
I'm gonna go with him. He would have caught hell
for that. I think if DTR got messed up by
JJ Watt and Higsmith yesterday and wasn't the part Kevin,
why the hell did you put that rookie in? Why
would you do that? He knows what he's doing. I
thought the fantasy came off really well in the Browns
Alive Alive. It's pretty cool. Take number three. I have
a new favorite player in the NFL. I got it.

(03:32):
I talked about him last week on the show. Then
he was on my radar. Now he is my favorite
player in the NFL. And it's Steelers running back Jalen Warren.
I don't give a damn that the Steelers lost to
the Browns. Jalen Warren is a badass. I love him
every time Number thirty for the Steelers gets the ball.
You can feel the juice, you can feel the adrenaline,
you can feel the heat, and you can feel some

(03:53):
defender who's going to try to tackle him, Who's going
to get thrown into the fifth row. Nobody in the
NFL runs consistently as hard as Jalen Warren does on
the Steel. I love you, Isaiah Pacheco, I love you
several other guys. It is Warren, and I am mystified
why he had nine carries yesterday. I get it. He's undrafted.
Who cares. Najie Harris high drafted, who cares. We're all

(04:17):
in the pros right now. Jalen Warren deserves more carries,
more touches. You get him the ball more yesterday, Maybe
you win that game. I love Jalen Warren watching my
one anger runs tomorrow. Take number four. Tyreek Hill is
having an all all, all, all time season, all time season.
So he is really really going to run down this
receiving record. It's the Calvin Johnson record. It's nineteen hundred

(04:40):
and sixty four yards in one season. I've looked at this.
Tyreek Hill is going for one hundred and twenty two
yards per game, one hundred and twenty two yards per game.
That means in a sixteen game span, he will be
right there around nineteen sixty four right there on Calvin
Johnson's record. Why do I bring that up? Because if
Tyree's gonna do this, I want him to do it

(05:01):
in sixteen games. Calvin did it sixteen, Rice did all
his records in sixteen. If Tyreek does it in seventeen
games and gets two thousand yards, that's great. But then
you get people saying, oh, yeah, but he had an
extra game, and they're not wrong. It's you know, it's
like the Roger Maris sixty one with a little asterisk.
I wanted to do it in sixteen games. You know
it would be even cooler. What if Tyreek Hill broke

(05:22):
the all time single seaven receiving record and he did
it in fifteen games, that would be the all timer
And he has it in him right now, he's right
around to do it in sixteen. I want to see
him do it in fifteen. I'm always doing it in
ten minutes. Take number five. Man. The Bills have a
big overhand, right, don't they. It's been messy, it's been ugly.
They've been covering up in the corner and losing. They

(05:43):
throw that right hand haymaker like George Foreman before he
was selling grills and he was smashing grills in the ring.
When they are right and Allan is steadying, he is right,
they can beat anything in the league. Now, when he's not,
they can lose anybody in the league, and they have.
But also I think the firing the coordinator, God, it
was a tough choice. I know Alan loved him. I'm
sure McDermott loved him. But doing it was the right

(06:05):
shows you have ever somebody in your life that you need
to cut out even though you have fun with them,
or maybe a year scie if another needs you to
cut them out, Like you need to stop hanging out
with Mitch. He brings out the worst than you, and
you drink too much and you get in trouble and
you text and tweet things you shouldn't. You're like, yeah,
I know, but I love Mitch. Deep down, you know
that Mitch is not good for you, and you could
be better, and you do it. I think that's what

(06:25):
they did with kendors Kin. Doors you a good guy.
I'm not calling him a Mitch. I'm just saying they
did look pretty good yesterday after letting him go. Take
number six, Zach Wilson, can you make it a little
easier on us. I know you're not good at quarterback.
It's a very difficult league. I'm not even gonna blame
me for that. Can you stop falling on your keyster
in the middle of the game, in the middle of
the field, which try to be positive in the streets
that I walk in the NFL, I try not to
gratuitously attack people with fls. I really have to, Zach Wilson,

(06:49):
stop falling. I've seen thousands of football games. I've never
seen a quarterback simply taking the field with his offense
fall down backwards on his butt in front of the
entire crowd. You're on the front page of the New
York Post. Help me help you, Zach. I'm not even
expecting to be good at football anymore. Can you be
good at walking? It would help Take number seven. Justin

(07:10):
Fields is the most fascinating and underrated storyline of the
second half of the season. Let me tell you why.
Yesterday's lost to the Lions. Congrats to the lines you
won again was so interesting in the sense that he
played really well and they lost. It's exactly like the
entire last year was for the Bears. The twenty twenty
two season, Like Fields is incredible. He might win a
VP next year. They keep losing every week, but he's incredible.

(07:31):
Do you understand I tweeted this yesterday. I still have
no idea what the Bears are gonna do with Justin
Fields after the season, and I don't think they do either.
There were people were pissed about that and say, how
can you call out Fields? At this point, this loss
wasn't about him. It was about the coaches. Of course
it was, of course it was. But it's a bigger
picture than that. The Bears are going to have the
number one overall draft pick again, and you're telling me

(07:54):
that if they have that and Fields, who right now
is six and twenty six in the NFL, they're gonna
sit there and look at those quarterbacks coming out and say, Nope, nope,
we're gonna not after quarterback because we just want to
stick with Justin. It's tough. I don't know if they
can or not. They had the number one pick last year,
they traded it. Would they trade the number one overall
pick two years in a row for another king's ransom

(08:16):
for someone to draft Caleb out of UFC because they're
not going to? Did I say UFC Caleb probably could
fight it and butt he plays for USC. It is
so fascinating. I love Fields and he could play really
well the rest of this season. The Bears will keep him.
If you don't believe that, you don't know the Bears.
They're old fashioned, They're old stubborn. They will try to
make it work. They will take the Marvin Harrison kid
and they'll take a lineman and say let's try it

(08:37):
again with Justin. It gets very complicated. It's why I
like watching it. Take number eight. I'm not giving up
on the Rogers thing. You're throwing up your roll in
your eyes. I want Rogers to come back. I think
it's hilarious. I'm Christmas Eve, the night before the birth
of christ I want the rebirth of Aaron Rodgers. The
just need to go three and one in my estimation
over the next month. If he's really going to come

(08:57):
back on twelve twenty four, which I think he is
going to try to do, they need to go three
and one to get to seven and seven and have
some kind of shot. People are why is he doing this?
And every ex player I've ever heard says he can't
do it. Achilles ruptures are in terrible. There's no way
he'll do it. We've said for years, when is Rogers
going to get back to another Super Bowl? When is
he going to get back to a second Super Bowl?
I think coming back this season from this injury is

(09:18):
his second super Bowl. I think it is this reason
for a living. I think he wants to do it,
even if it's irresponsible, even if the line sucks. He
probably even wants to do it if they are on
a playoff contention. I really believe this means so much
to him, and I don't know if there's anybody in
the Jets organization who's going to tell him not to,
because I don't think they've said no to him about
anything else since he showed up. They got to go
three in one that it's going to be a tough ass.

(09:39):
Take number nine. La AX is the worst airport in
the United States. Los Angeles International Airport is the worst, crappiest, suckiest,
most pathetic airport in the United States. And if that
was maroon somewhere in the middle of the country or
not something that place isn't a travel hub or desirable location,
you could get it. You call yourself the entertainment capital
of the world, Tinseltown. Your airport is terrible. It's hard

(10:02):
to get in, it's hard to get out. I was
in the jet bluet terminal. There are no interesting restaurants,
there's no convenient place to eat. It is all your
just standard issue boilerplate, crappy, pseudo sports bar slash text mes,
garbage lax. I used to live there for years. It's pointless.
LA should be a shamed that that's your airport. That

(10:22):
stupid alien Martian thing in the middle that used to
be a restaurant and now isn't even a restaurant. It
is so bad. It is the worst airport. Best airport
I've been to is Portland worst Lax take number ten.
I want some chicken cutlets. I don't even know what
that is. Tommy to Viudo, the Giant's quarterback, says his
mom makes them. Tommy to Vudo had three touchdowns this weekend.
I think I'm gonna try to replace turkey with chicken
cutlets this Thanksgiving. I don't even know what chicken cutlets are.

(10:45):
I'm sorry, I'll just admit it. Their chicken are they
cut really small? Is it like chicken farm without the
sauce in the cheese. I don't know, but I want them. Boom.
Ten minutes. We got it in boo. I'm looking down
at my list. I'm like, I could keep talking for
thirty minutes on how crappy Lax is if I'm gonna
have time to get to the chicken Cutlet's take much less.

(11:07):
Make it understandable what I'm talking about. I'm not sure
I did do that, but that's it ten minutes. Ten Takes.
We have to stick to the rules. It is a
a la carte side items show to listen to when
you were in a hurry. I appreciate you did. I
hope you will next week when we start. Take number
one hundred and eleven and I love you Like, subscribe, share, tweet, respond,

(11:27):
Tell me what a chicken cutlet is. Tell me the
Lax is not the worst airport in the United States,
and I will tell you you are a liar. See
you next week, guys. Ten Takes with me. That's Kyle Brett,
Love you bye. Ten Takes is a production of the
