Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I think Rogers' introductory press conferences are better than some
of the actual games that we have. I love it.
Remember when he comes to the Jets, he's going to Broadway.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
He's doing this. There is no Broadway in Pittsburgh. He
is the Broadway.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
What we saw yesterday was the closest we're going to
get to. And to that point, I want, ever want
to get really comfortable because if he didn't see it,
I have a full rundown of all of my favorites,
all of my superlative So everybody buckle up and get
your popcorn.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
The most Rogers quote was quote.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
The decisions made from the Soul are usually pretty fulfilling.
Only Aaron Rodgers would say that the only quarterback in
the league. Netflix already working on a documentary called Decisions
from the Soul. The most loaded quote he says, there
were talks with other organizations. I think Rogers was extremely
interested in playing for the Rams. I think it was
close to happening. It did not. The closest thing to
(01:12):
shade from Aaron Rodgers quote. There are some iconic franchises
in the NFL. I played for one of them for
eighteen years. This is another one.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
He skipped two years in there when he played for
the Jets.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Who are not although he did say later he was
not going to take any shots in his previous organization.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
This was great too, know your yensers.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
He went up there and rattled off every single person
in his career who is from Pittsburgh, Mike McCarthy, Dom Caper's,
Frank Signetti, all the yensers. He had that list ready.
It endears him to the room and endears him to
the city. He did his prep for that most crafty answer,
why he wanted Why he waited to sign? You mentioned this,
mentioned deal with things in his personal life, and then
(01:52):
said I didn't want to shortchange the guys being signed,
but elsewhere mentally, very crafty, meaning I could have been here,
but that wouldn't have been fair to the guys. Next
his no the room answer, he used the term blue
collar three times. Blue collar town, building, the structure of
this country, blue collar people. He could have referenced Chico,
(02:14):
he could have referenced Green Bay, but he kept pitting
blue collar and it was smart. The one answer I
gotta call bs on when he says the thing that
excites him most about DK Metcalf as his character. Look,
I get DK Metcalf, they have some great character.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Have you ever seen him run? Here? I have seen
him jump.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
That's way more exciting if you're a quarterback. I get
the character's fine, but there's no way that's what excites you.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
The most best checkdown.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
From Rogers, he was asked if he can get the
Steelers a playoff win for the first time in years.
He said, quote worm day one a mini camp. He
literally says, I'm taking it one day at a time,
and that's a guy who never says that. Most random
but relevant revelation in the middle of the press conference,
he hates his helmets. His old helmet he's been worried
for twenty years is now obsolete. He's not allowed to
wear it. He says, I absolutely hate this helmet. Keep
(03:00):
an eye on that. Wrapping up here.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
His shortest answer, Aaron, do.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
You have any trepidation about missing OTA's one word?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
His least favorite question we saw there was about freedom
to audible and quote take over the offense. He was like,
I don't really understand what that second term means.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I've done this, I've done.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That market That was the one question he hated and
does not want to be asked again.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
And then lastly, you can't be.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Rogers without just throwing us one curveball or one up
high and tight.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
The full spit take moment.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
At eleven minutes into a thirteen minute media session, he
reveals I'm married.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I've been married for.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
A couple of months, and I was like, what, We've
been following you for nearly a quarter century. We've seen
you in public relationships, and now you're just married with
a wedding ring on. There's no follow up about who
is she, where is she, what is she? There's nothing
about that. It's just all of a sudden on top
of this, I'm also married and I wear a ring
out on the.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Damn practice field.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
There are people whon't want to see Rogers anymore, who
are sick of Rodgers, don't like Rogers. I will never
get sick of this. I think he's the most fascinating
athlete on the planet. Isn't even win a playoff game,
who the hell knows, but he's won for one at
media sessions. That's broad Away and pittsbrog absolutely love it.
I believe in this. I believe this is going to work.
And by work, I mean a playoff win. I don't
know if it's multiple. I think that they will, and
(04:18):
it's going to be really hard to get to. You
remember the schedule makers, who we love. They made the
Steelers schedule based on Rogers being on the team.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
They knew, we all knew.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Do you understand, like how interesting some of these matchups
are going to be. Just Week one, he's going to
the Jets, He's going back into Matt Life. Week one,
he is also playing the Packers. He's also going back
to Soldier Field. This team, the Steelers, plays the NFC
North this year. So all those memories of Rogers versus
the Lions, Rogers versus it's all happening. Not to mention,
he faces Lamar, he faces Josh. It's like it is
(04:50):
going to be a huge Rogers year if he can
stay healthy. And I just think to put a bow
on last year. Last year, the Jets team was not good.
He was not an MVP level. But just before you
judge what he did last year when he could do
this year, look at last year's second half, Look at
this last seven games of Aaron Rodgers for the Jets
(05:10):
the last seven games of a team with an interim
head coach and a fire gm that was checked out
mentally and not involved in any of the standings conversations.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Their forty year old quarterback.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
In those seven games, through thirteen touchdowns and four interceptions,
he was playing very, very well on his second year,
first year back from an achilles injury.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
So I'm looking at the room.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I'm looking on how he finished last year, how he'll
be healthier this year, how his team and his coach
will be better this year. I just want to say
it again June eleventh, Play it back December eleven, Play
it back January eleventh.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I believe in this team.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I think the Steelers with Aaron Rodgers will win a
playoff game this year. You gotta sympathize with James Cook.
He's like, what do you want of me? I just
scored sixteen touchdowns. I was fantastic in the biggest game
of the year. You drafted me. I'm twenty five years old,
I'm still in my prime. I'm not too old. I'm
not hurt. You pay everybody else around me. Why don't
(06:08):
you love me?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
It's it's I think they do love him.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I don't think they love him at fifteen million dollars
a year. And you know, we're in this era now
where the running backs it got a little steam in
their step again, and they're seeing Saquon and they're seeing
Derrick Henry, and.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
You guys, aren't Saquon and Derrick Henry.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You know, there's a question about James Cook is really
really good?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Is he special?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Is he I can't imagine the Bills without him special,
because that's the only way you get that kind of money.
So it's just we're back in this running back conversation
that we've had for the last decade, which is the
what is your win above replacement? If James Cook were
to proof and disappear, does Josh Allen on the Bills
offense fall apart?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Probably not, in fact, definitely not.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
But he does give it an extra own if it's
just it's a really tricky thing where he deserves it,
he's earned it, he should earn it in the future.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And yet there's still.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
This sort of stigma about that position where we think
if we could get someone cheaper and they maybe not
do as great as you, but close enough. I do
think they love him, but not at this money and
the fact that he has his foot in the ground
right now.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I don't think this will be going away quickly. It's
crazy that Miles Garrett does this. I mean, it's a
really crazy thing.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And he kind of gets a pass from the media
and from the league that he.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Can just because he's that, because normally.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
You can't have a pass rusher say well, I'm gonna
get him.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I'm gonna get there.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Everyone be like, oh, ah's that that shots fired. Not
only is he saying I'm gonna get him, Miles Garrett
in this era of the NFL has a running skit
where the quarterbacks are dead in his yard and they're
buried like that's an incredible thing. That's something from the
seventies that someone would have done, like Miles Garrett is
doing it in twenty twenty five, and it's just like, well, hey,
(07:59):
look at him. He's probably right, and why not. It's fun,
it's Halloween. It's it's that's you throwback that it otherwise
would be looked at in such bad taste. But then
he says it, we all kind of laugh. Incidentally, he
has not sacked Aaron Rodgers. He's sacked thirty one quarterbacks
in the league. He's only played Rogers once and it
was almost four years ago.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Did not sack him in that game.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So if you're the guy who has like your own
cemetery in your yard of all the great quarterbacks of
your era, it's kind of a big missing piece. But
we'll see on Halloween if he's got it there. And
in the meantime, it's just if anyone thinks, like man,
I missed the.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Old school of football.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
It's not like it was to the watch Miles Garrett
and listen to what he says, because for some reason
he just gets to have a pass. He's grandfather did
go for it. Sequon is he's saying this as a goal,
which is which I love.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
That's fine, he.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Should say that because he has the talent and ability
to be the best.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Ever, there's only a few people who can ever say it.
He does have the talent for it.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Of course, there's a lot of work to be done,
and you know, he's already had one major injury. He's
missed some games here, he's missed some games here, he
missed nearly an entire season. I look at a comp
outside of football for Saquon. This is how right Now
I see Saquon, I see him as Griffy. I see
him as the guy you look at you're like, oh
my god.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
He is talented.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
He's like the most beautiful, most talented athlete I've ever
seen in this sport. Now, if you know Griffy, he
had a lot of injury issues and then he started
bouncing around teams and he has looked at as one
of the most talented, one of the most fun to
watch players ever in baseball. But I don't think anyone's
calling Ken Griffy the goat.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It's a great goal.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I love that Saquon says this, but it's like to
say the greatest ever. I'm going to touch on what
you guys are saying. There are so many players to
run down and surpass. My personal rushmore of my lifetime
is Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Ladanian, Tomlinson, and Marshall Falk.
Ladanian is another good comp for Saquon. Ladanian does not
get goat conversation about him.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
His career was absurd.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Unbelievably productive and versatile and successful. But it's always like Barry,
Jim Brown, Walter Payton, and that's fine. I think LT
is secure with that. I just have to bring up
one more element. I don't bring it up yet. This
is a personal thing, and you guys just got to
see this, becau. It's one of my favorite things. I'm
hanging out of this event for the network like maybe
four years ago, and I played running back at a
very modest level growing up, and it's my favorite position.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
And I worship these guys.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I see these five guys having a group conversation and
I do something I never do, which is, guys, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Is there any way I.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Could take a picture with you? Look at this picture?
Someone is I'm gonna put this in my will. Come on,
I'm so proud of this photograph.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
You have LT.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Hall of Famer, TD Hall of Famer, Saquon, I think
future Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Then there's me nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Illinois States Well Mention, and then Barry Sanders Hall of Famer.
So one of those things is not like the others.
But I said it at the time, and I'll close
with this. This is like four years ago. I tweet
this picture out and I say myself with three Hall
of Famers and one future Hall of Famer and I
got destroyed by every NFL fan.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Oh say, Quad, how do you put him in the
Hall of Fame? No way, no way, he doesn't have it.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Here we are years later, and if he just keeps
doing what he's doing, he's running all the way to camp.
He will be one of the all time greats, greatest ever.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I'm not going to say I doubt it. It's just very,
very difficult. But I love that he wants to get
there himself. I like that Tua does this whole kind
of rant making fun of the term culture shift, and
he's like, but we're having a culture shift like that
he is, and I get it. It's what I don't
get is exactly where it's coming from. You have the
same coach, you have most of the same players, same quarterback.
(11:30):
Everything's going on. But I feel like the shift, and
this is positive for the Dolphins. The shift is that
there's very little heat on the Dolphins right now. And
that's the shift because the last couple of years, it's Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
They're the next big thing.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
They score seventy points in a game that's gone, and
I think that's good. Now everyone's saying the Patriots have next,
or the Jets are serious now.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
It's so.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I actually like the where the Dolphins are this year
because they are very talented and they are very good,
but no one's talking about him. That guy the bloom
is off the roads.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
We get it.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
He's quirky and wear's cool sunglasses, and I think nationally
everyone's like, eh, Mike McDaniel, yesterday's.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
News, Tyreek.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Maybe he's in the back half of his career now too.
Can't count on all the things that were being triumphed
about the Dolphins the last couple of years are now
being passed on to some of their competitors, and I
think that is a good thing from the Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Don't be a front runner.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It's the team we tune in in this fall and
we're like, wow, Dolphins are five and two. They're playing
good ball, and I think that's a good spot for them.
My word for the twenty twenty five Jets clean, It's
just gonna be clean.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
What do I mean by that?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
The head coach is not gonna be fired, The GM
is not going to be fired. You have a quarterback
who is not going to say squat, nor is he
going to bring in his favorite wide receiver in the
middle of the season. The Jets aren' going to trade
for DJ Moore from the Bears to get him.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
To justify it, It's just.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Gonna be football. I don't know if they're gonna win.
I don't know if they're gonna lose. It's just gonna
be a good meat and potatoes football season with no bs,
no studying. Hey wait, did the quarterback push away the
coach on the sideline when he went.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
To hug him?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
None of that stuff. It is just nice and and.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I think that's exactly what the Jets fans.

that we've had for the last decade, which is the
what is your win above replacement? If James Cook were
to proof and disappear, does Josh Allen on the Bills
offense fall apart?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Probably not, in fact, definitely not.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
But he does give it an extra own if it's
just it's a really tricky thing where he deserves it,
he's earned it, he should earn it in the future.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And yet there's still.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
This sort of stigma about that position where we think
if we could get someone cheaper and they maybe not
do as great as you, but close enough. I do
think they love him, but not at this money and
the fact that he has his foot in the ground
right now.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I don't think this will be going away quickly. It's
crazy that Miles Garrett does this. I mean, it's a
really crazy thing.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And he kind of gets a pass from the media
and from the league that he.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Can just because he's that, because normally.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
You can't have a pass rusher say well, I'm gonna
get him.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I'm gonna get there.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Everyone be like, oh, ah's that that shots fired. Not
only is he saying I'm gonna get him, Miles Garrett
in this era of the NFL has a running skit
where the quarterbacks are dead in his yard and they're
buried like that's an incredible thing. That's something from the
seventies that someone would have done, like Miles Garrett is
doing it in twenty twenty five, and it's just like, well, hey,
(07:59):
look at him. He's probably right, and why not. It's fun,
it's Halloween. It's it's that's you throwback that it otherwise
would be looked at in such bad taste. But then
he says it, we all kind of laugh. Incidentally, he
has not sacked Aaron Rodgers. He's sacked thirty one quarterbacks
in the league. He's only played Rogers once and it
was almost four years ago.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Did not sack him in that game.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So if you're the guy who has like your own
cemetery in your yard of all the great quarterbacks of
your era, it's kind of a big missing piece. But
we'll see on Halloween if he's got it there. And
in the meantime, it's just if anyone thinks, like man,
I missed the.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Old school of football.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
It's not like it was to the watch Miles Garrett
and listen to what he says, because for some reason
he just gets to have a pass. He's grandfather did
go for it. Sequon is he's saying this as a goal,
which is which I love.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
That's fine, he.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Should say that because he has the talent and ability
to be the best.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Ever, there's only a few people who can ever say it.
He does have the talent for it.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Of course, there's a lot of work to be done,
and you know, he's already had one major injury. He's
missed some games here, he's missed some games here, he
missed nearly an entire season. I look at a comp
outside of football for Saquon. This is how right Now
I see Saquon, I see him as Griffy. I see
him as the guy you look at you're like, oh
my god.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
He is talented.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
He's like the most beautiful, most talented athlete I've ever
seen in this sport. Now, if you know Griffy, he
had a lot of injury issues and then he started
bouncing around teams and he has looked at as one
of the most talented, one of the most fun to
watch players ever in baseball. But I don't think anyone's
calling Ken Griffy the goat.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It's a great goal.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I love that Saquon says this, but it's like to
say the greatest ever. I'm going to touch on what
you guys are saying. There are so many players to
run down and surpass. My personal rushmore of my lifetime
is Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Ladanian, Tomlinson, and Marshall Falk.
Ladanian is another good comp for Saquon. Ladanian does not
get goat conversation about him.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
His career was absurd.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Unbelievably productive and versatile and successful. But it's always like Barry,
Jim Brown, Walter Payton, and that's fine. I think LT
is secure with that. I just have to bring up
one more element. I don't bring it up yet. This
is a personal thing, and you guys just got to
see this, becau. It's one of my favorite things. I'm
hanging out of this event for the network like maybe
four years ago, and I played running back at a
very modest level growing up, and it's my favorite position.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
And I worship these guys.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I see these five guys having a group conversation and
I do something I never do, which is, guys, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Is there any way I.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Could take a picture with you? Look at this picture?
Someone is I'm gonna put this in my will. Come on,
I'm so proud of this photograph.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
You have LT.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Hall of Famer, TD Hall of Famer, Saquon, I think
future Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Then there's me nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Illinois States Well Mention, and then Barry Sanders Hall of Famer.
So one of those things is not like the others.
But I said it at the time, and I'll close
with this. This is like four years ago. I tweet
this picture out and I say myself with three Hall
of Famers and one future Hall of Famer and I
got destroyed by every NFL fan.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Oh say, Quad, how do you put him in the
Hall of Fame? No way, no way, he doesn't have it.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Here we are years later, and if he just keeps
doing what he's doing, he's running all the way to camp.
He will be one of the all time greats, greatest ever.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I'm not going to say I doubt it. It's just very,
very difficult. But I love that he wants to get
there himself. I like that Tua does this whole kind
of rant making fun of the term culture shift, and
he's like, but we're having a culture shift like that
he is, and I get it. It's what I don't
get is exactly where it's coming from. You have the
same coach, you have most of the same players, same quarterback.
(11:30):
Everything's going on. But I feel like the shift, and
this is positive for the Dolphins. The shift is that
there's very little heat on the Dolphins right now. And
that's the shift because the last couple of years, it's Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
They're the next big thing.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
They score seventy points in a game that's gone, and
I think that's good. Now everyone's saying the Patriots have next,
or the Jets are serious now.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
It's so.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I actually like the where the Dolphins are this year
because they are very talented and they are very good,
but no one's talking about him. That guy the bloom
is off the roads.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
We get it.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
He's quirky and wear's cool sunglasses, and I think nationally
everyone's like, eh, Mike McDaniel, yesterday's.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
News, Tyreek.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Maybe he's in the back half of his career now too.
Can't count on all the things that were being triumphed
about the Dolphins the last couple of years are now
being passed on to some of their competitors, and I
think that is a good thing from the Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Don't be a front runner.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It's the team we tune in in this fall and
we're like, wow, Dolphins are five and two. They're playing
good ball, and I think that's a good spot for them.
My word for the twenty twenty five Jets clean, It's
just gonna be clean.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
What do I mean by that?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
The head coach is not gonna be fired, The GM
is not going to be fired. You have a quarterback
who is not going to say squat, nor is he
going to bring in his favorite wide receiver in the
middle of the season. The Jets aren' going to trade
for DJ Moore from the Bears to get him.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
To justify it, It's just.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Gonna be football. I don't know if they're gonna win.
I don't know if they're gonna lose. It's just gonna
be a good meat and potatoes football season with no bs,
no studying. Hey wait, did the quarterback push away the
coach on the sideline when he went.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
To hug him?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
None of that stuff. It is just nice and and.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I think that's exactly what the Jets fans.
