Speaker 1 (00:04):
Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
with iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
They crushed the bad teams and they play really well
against the good teams. So let's just look at Miami.
They destroyed Miami. Indianapolis did they destroyed Tennessee? They destroyed
the Raiders. They beat Denver. We're all typing at Denver.
They beat Denver and they had a really really close game.
Their only lost against the Rams, which a couple of
balls bounced the wrong way for them and they lost.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
At what point, you know, there's like a belief scale
with the Colts. We have so much scar.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Tissue with Daniel Jones, especially here in New York, that
they come out three and oh and everyone's like, Eh,
they're three and.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Oh, they're four and one.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
They play the Cardinals next week, Like there's a very
very good chance that Daniel Jones Colts are five and one,
they're in the Dome next week. Do you have any
skepticism at all? Because it's not just Daniel Jones. The
Colts have been a tough product. They run the hell
out of the ball with Quintin Nelson is up in
front block and everybody for Jonathan Taylor the defense plays
forty to six is forty to six.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
I don't care who you play.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
It's very rare you see a thirty four point win
in the NFL. They crush the bad teams and play
really tough against the good teams.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
And if you look down.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
The schedule, there's not a ton of good teams coming
knocking guys Chargers in a couple of weeks, and Chargers
are banged up. You got to go deep down the
schedule post by to.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
See Chiefs and Texans.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Like I don't want to get too ahead of myself,
but I just like the football that they play. It's
really physical. They run a ton, and Daniel Jones is
very very calm. You got guys that we've been accustomed
to on defense, like Sayah Franklin making big plays.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Four and one is four and one. It's not one
and one, it's not two and one. The Daniel Jones
Colts are for real. I don't know if they're going
to win the AFC. You gotta start saying though you
got you penciled them in right now, like damn, the
Colts are going to be in the playoffs. Sort of,
this thing just falling apart. In terms of Philadelphia. I
don't scream and cry and after a loss again, you
weren't going to go seventeen and oho, you lost to
a good team with a great coach.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
It doesn't mean the season is over. It's just there's
a question for a.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Team that's so established and that's the Super Bowl champs
that we know so well. I still don't really know
what their identity is, which is odd for the team. Like,
they're a running team, right, well, Saquan had six carries yesterday,
What was that? So they're a passing team? No, of
course not.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Devonte Smith had a.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Huge day statistically, and they've scored seventeen points. Also, let's
just call the elephant in the room. There's not a
lot of great body language. There's not a lot of
great chemistry. I think it is palpable that the number one.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Wide receiver does not like the quarterback. I don't know
if the number two wide receiver likes the quarterback.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
I think it's becoming more and more obvious that it's
just the thing that they're living with and playing through.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
That's a tough way to live. Also, I'm going to
say something else. It'll piss people off. I don't give
a damn about the miscalls. I don't.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Dallas Goddard has this jersey rip for a second at
the end of the game, He's scoring seventeen points at
home and you throw it to the tight end and
he doesn't get a call. You really think they're going
to bail you out in the last thirty seconds of
the game. I don't. There was a lot of stuff
that Eagle should have done better in that game, and
I feel like crying for a call at the end
of the game is beneath the Eagles and their fan
base and the stature of this team.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
They should have played a lot better.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I've seen the referees make worse calls in bigger situations.
Him missing Aj there or Aj missing him and stopping.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
You tell me which was worse. The lack of chemistry
there is rough. So it's not the end of the world.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
The Eagles may written me win the next ten games
in a row, or it can fall apart. We've seen
both of those things happen under this head coach with
this talent.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
So you guys decide.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
But for a team that's so well established and so
successful and it's got rings, I don't really know what
they are offensively, and I'm not sure they do either.
If you really want value for your entertainment moment entertainment dollar,
it's the Tampa Bay Bakerneers. That's who you want to
watch every single week. Do you understand you can't miss
you have to get the Buccaneers game in. They're in

(03:58):
the late window this weekend against Mantai San Francisco team,
So at about six forty five Eastern on Sunday, get
to a TV, whether it be Red Zone, whether it
be CBS, whatever it is, let me just give you
the rundown of the Tampa Bay Bakeronneers. This year, they
have won by three, one, two and three. The only

(04:19):
game that they have lost was against Philadelphia and it
had a ridiculous block and it was all kinds of
crazy nastiness. At the end of the game, it was
wildly entertaining. So maybe Baker's for you, maybe he's not.
It doesn't matter. They're awesome to watch and you will
be glad you spent part of your Sunday watching them
late window. A couple of minutes left to go in
the game, maybe they win, maybe they lose. And by

(04:39):
the way, you get added bonus at the cream school thing.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
It's it's all a win. This is the team you
want to watch.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Compelling his home Baker Mayfield. It's two of them equals
Brett Fharv plus Doug Flutie.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
That if they got together.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
In a lab and had some kind of product that
came from them. Farv and Fluty wildly watchable, charismatic, kind
of a smile, always like kind of a Sandlot factor
to him, a trad and a triumph here and there, and.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
It's like just both of them. You liked foody, diminutive.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Baker and not as short as that, but there's some
of that going on, just the guy who is like,
you know, he just ripped my favorite team's heart out.
But he's pretty cool and fun. I grew up a
Bears fan with my family and we loved Farv. We
just couldn't help it. He was too cool and too likable.
I know he's taking a lot of shots self imposed
in many ways off the field in the last few years,
but there's really never been a more watchable quarterback in

(05:30):
the NFL. And Doug Flutie is right up there to Baker.
Mayfield is bar plus Flutie. I give credit to the
Bengals for doing something, just trying something. Because Zach Taylor
was Jake Brownie is our guy. We're like, how can
you do this? You're gonna do this next two months?
This is miserable. So I really do credit them for
doing something. What is this gonna amount to? It's fun,
it's positive. I hate to just like completely slap the

(05:50):
story in the face. Joe Flacco is alleged. Joe Legerson
is ninth team in eight years. That's more than one
team a year. That's unbelievable. Nineteen and this is this
whole thing has like I always say, like it's like
the Rooster Cogburn one last job for the crusty old
sheriff who's going to clean up one more town. But
his one last job was like five jobs ago.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
It's unbelievable that he's doing this.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
And it's also he's also another movie trope is like,
isn't he going to be like three games from not
being like I'm too old for this, like like one
of these lead the weapon thing, Like he's forty and
I have to say I'm the football Jake Browning, for
all his faults, Jake Browning is deeply entrenched.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
In the Bengals and their offense. He's been there for
five years.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
He's studied under Joe, he's studying under Zach. He knows
everything about the Bengals offense. And he's a young guy
with a live arm, and he was just getting shellacked.
So the replacement is a guy who is totally immobile,
who is forty years old, who yes, has a big
arm and threw a bunch of touchdowns in a Super
Bowl like thirty years ago. Like that's the lamb, that's

(06:54):
I'm rooting for them. I just don't The practical answer
is is like maybe at Joe Flacco plays five hundred football.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Let's talk about this. Let's say he goes.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Five and five, which would be really then they're at
seven and eight and Joe Burrow runs out of the
smoke and wins the last two games, and maybe they
make the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
In ninety eight. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
I just I'm gonna speak for the people here for
a second. If you're just looking for an arm to
come in and be like, screw it, what can it hurt?
There's one man you should have called and you know
it and I know it, and bring up the picture
of that man.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
It's not Joe Flacco. Bring up the.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Man and it's right there that why are we calling Jamis?
Jamis is wasting away as QB three in New York
City doing nothing, and.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
He's got that.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
I will throw you four touchdowns and three interceptions arm
just collecting cobwebs.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
If the New York Giants aren't game for that, call
them and make them, make them it off. They can't
refuse because if you want someone to just toss Kerosene
on this thing and say, well, whoever's got to be
out there somewhere I'm gonna throw for five hundred yards,
why wouldn't it be Jamus Joe Flaccow. I respect him.
He's a legend that like, are we really going to
be sitting here in December and be like wow, Joe
hands the keys back to Joe and the Bengals.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Unlikely. There was a buffer.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
When Dylan Gabriel starts his first game, Shadeur was deliberately
the number three, and I thought that was a savvy
thing because the masses and the Chador fans the second thing,
he's number two, they're one play away or not only
one turn ankle away, just one interception away put in Chador,
put in Shador, by the way, one interception that Dylan
Gabriel did not throw and played a turnover free game

(08:29):
on the road on a different continent against it. Brian
Flores defense that everybody on this show and everybody else
thought was just gonna eat him alive.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
He looked pretty good.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
And the way that Chardor never plays this year is
if Dylan Gabriel just ascends and just looks like the
franchise quarterback potentially they drafted him to be. But the
game's changed now, the game's changed in the whole Shador
media experience. Now it's just he's there, He's lingering. He's
like the dessert you can already see when you're trying
to eat your vegetables.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Let's look get to it.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
It's feel like, if Dylan Gabriel has a rough game
or a rough series, especially at home, the masses start,
they start on your computer, they start on your phone.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Let's see Shadoor.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
There's such a hunger to see Shadeur play in this
regular season game. Then now you feel like Gabriel has
this extra pressure not only in everything football, but just
between the ears and in the stands, it's all changed.
Flacco is like the babysitter of these two rookies, and
you just go to old Flacco.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
And he's trusted, independable. Now it's the upside down.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
And I don't know, Mike, I don't know if the
plan is to like, at some point we'll see Chador.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
What if Dylan Gabriel is just good.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
And he's the third round pick and they win half
their games and he's like, that's something to build on.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Does he play? And if he doesn't play?

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Is everyone just frustrated and feel like something was taken
from them because everyone.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Feels so attached to Shadure.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
It's messy, it's complicated, and I think if only the
only positive I can really see is the Browns are like,
we're gonna roll with these two rookies, come hell or
high water. We're gonna lose the babysitter and let the
kids take care of themselves. It's really interesting for a
bad one and four team that I can't wait to watch.
