Speaker 1 (00:04):
Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
They're an interesting team. I'm going to say it with
my chest. I like watching this Jets team. I know
no one else does. Maybe, but listen. If you've watched
a lot of football, and if you're watching the show,
you probably have. I just like to see things I've
never seen before. It's fun, it's interesting. I have never
seen a sequence like at the end of the first
half of the Jets in which they fake a punts
(00:45):
to extend the drive and then twenty seconds later they're.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Just like, nah, never mind, let's just go to halftime.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And the wide receiver is screaming at the head coach.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I've never seen that.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I've also never seen our colleague Kurt Warner, who knows
everything about football and is on the call, tweeting in
the middle of the broadcast at halftime about what the
heck was that last sequence?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I've never seen that before.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I've never seen after the game when a reporter asks
if to Aaron Glenn if Justin Fields is still the quarterback,
and he goes, now, what kind of question is that?
I think A good one? Coach, did you just watch
the game. It was historically bad passing. Why wouldn't I
ask that question? So even at halftime and after the game,
when the Jets aren't playing, they're still interesting. The defense
(01:27):
was very good yesterday. That's solid football. But the team
is so weird, so off the wall, I'm already excited
for Jets Panthers. By the way, a game in which
the Jets our favorite. I'm just reading that's even interesting.
So Jets last winless team.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I don't care. I like him, I'm into him.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I would just sit my son down, and I'd grab
some of his friends and his teammates, and I get
around the biggest tablet I could find, and I would
just press play and I'd be.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Like, watch this piece of work, boys, go.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Ahead and roll it ring. That's so I want you
guys to know about that. With two hundred pounds of
equipment on. That is Mike Allstarts.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
He is from the.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Chicago area where he played at Joliet Catholic and used
to push around a truck for a geep or a
station wagon in the parking lots. And then he went
to Purdue and he just changed the sport and he
changed the world.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
If you ask me.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
This is all professional footage of him. Is Michael Stott
my favorite football player of all time. He's definitely in
the conversation, and he made himself this force by route, training,
by strength, training, by pushing, by pulling, old fashioned stuff
that I think is highly lost in an era of
specialization and expensive personal trainers.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
He's like my trainer was.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I would take my mom's car and push it around
for an hour, and that's why I can do what
I do. I love everything about Michael Stott to this day.
He still shows up for the Buccaneers all the time.
I got to meet him last year and give him
an Anger run jacket. He's the man, and I would
like that my children and your children to know that
he existed and that he used to play football.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Like this follow up.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Question for you on this one, how much of Mike
Alstoff do you see in your buddy Camp your nephew
Camp Skatabuo.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I'm glad you asked that, because Mike all Scott's name
keeps coming up, and actually I'm defensive to get it
against it. I actually almost resents it wildly different players.
Mike al Stott has probably had forty to fifty pounds
on Skataboo and three or four inches. Yes, they both
run physical, but I hate the comparisons because I'm also
seeing them to Peyton Hillis and Toby Gerhart, and they
(03:26):
all have two things in common with like camp Scataboo
as a running back and the other thing.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
If you want camp Scattaboo.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Comps, look at mark Ingram, look at maybe a slightly
smaller Marshawn Lynch, look at some Frank Gore. It's okay
to not compare him to Mike Alstott. They're totally different players,
and I'd actually appreciate, dude, stop doing it. The Bears
haven't lost a game in a month, and that is
all we asked for early on in these teams, whether
you're somebody who's the defending Super Bowl champ or an
(03:54):
up and coming team. The new head coach like, if
you stack wins in any way by one point, by
fifty points, hell, yes you're doing it. We remember so
much that Minnesota game because it was week when everybody
watched it. For gotten game is Week two when the
Lions put fifty two on the Bears and embarrass them.
That was absolutely terrible. They haven't lost since then they
have not lost since they hit rock bottom week two,
(04:14):
and now they haven't lost in a month. That's coaching,
that's changes. And how do I feel now up to
this moment right now? I think I speak for Bears
fans when it's just like modest desires.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Can we just have some simple wins?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
And I don't mean in the score, but I mean
like our coach really seems to know how to use
the clock.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
He seems to know when to call timeouts.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
In the past, that's not the case. He knows what
he's doing on the sideline. It's professionally run. Caleb looks
pretty good. Okay, that's fine, that's all you ask.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
He looks pretty good. Sometimes he looks almost great. Sometimes
he looks averaged. But it's all coming off positive. You
don't need Caleb to throw from five thousand yards.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It's a stupid goal. Four thousand yards is a stupid goal.
Just win. So the coach seems.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Confidence, the quarterback seems pretty good.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
That's great. We're dancing if you're a Bears.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Fan because you haven't had a any of that stuff.
And the record is above five hundred, so it's like
this is cravy it's Halloween, Tome passed the laffy taffy.
Let's beat the Saints this weekend, Jamie, Mine's not fun.
There's a lot of wacky fun stuff that's going on.
It's not fun, but it is what I'm legitimately surprised about. Like,
I can't believe that the Ravens are one and five.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
This is so strange.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
And I know Lamar is hurt, and I understand that
we have seen Lamar be hurt before. We have had
periods of Snoop Huntley, and they continue to persist. They're
just one of these things that is a stalwart in
the wind of the NFL. You can count on them.
They're one of the brands that's always going to matter.
And it's like almost like even if Lamar wasn't hurt,
I don't know what would be going on because their
defense is so poor. It's just a very sad thing
(05:45):
and I probably shouldn't be devoting time on it when
there are more positive stories, but I'm doing it out
of respect and admiration for this era of the Ravens.
Really every era of the Ravens, Like since the Ravens
have been the Ravens, there are always something you can
really count on. Just looking at them in the standings,
putting up three points against the Rams to go to
one in five, it's not right.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And I want Lamar back on on the field, and
there would be nothing I would like more to see
them come tearing down the stretch. But my god, right
now they're going someplace I can't follow. Guess why I
have it five. I have the Tampay Buccaneers of five.
We're talking about right now, Week seven. Okay, very good team,
very good record, very good quarterback.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
All their guys are heart.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
It feels like they're all her and I know they're
coming back and they're training this way. The fact that
they lost the guy who's gonna win Rookie of the Year,
the fact that god Win again and Evans have been
banged up in Bucky Like, I think they're a top
five team right now. Remember fourteen teams make the playoffs.
It's not an insult that you're five or four. For
the love of God, number four, I have these guys.
If you can read this, I have the Rams at four.
(06:47):
I will always stick by the Rams. The Rams beat
the Colts, that does matter, and it's gonna matter on
this list as well.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I went back and forth.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Matti, I know you had Seattle and Mike had Seattle.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I like both those teams in the West.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I would like San Francisco if they weren't a hospital ward.
I like the Rams at number four, number three, only
this team could get absolutely get their clock clean and
still be a top three team in the league.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I have the Lions. I know that was an ugly game.
I know Week one was an ugly game.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
They've had two ugly games, and I still like them
that much because they're pretty.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Games are beautiful.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
To go back to the Wayne's World Top ten list,
They're Klaudia Schiffer, the Babraham Lincoln, They're just they're rem brands.
They look really good, and I think their ceiling is
as high as any team in the league. Ing here
we go, Yes, definitely swing number two. I got a
five hundred team at there's the second best team in
the league.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I have the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
That display over Detroit was.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Like oh crap, right, Like, oh no, no, they can't
keep getting away with this? Yeah they can? Now they can.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Are you any if there's any doubt right now that
the Chiefs are gonna.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Have at least one home playoff game.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
After you watch what they did and all you've already
made the point about Rashid Rice. It's just like they
looked very good the other night, and they look very familiar,
and then.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Number one, I'll just do it.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I would love to shock everybody and leave them off
the list, but I'm going with the co is the
number one team right now in this moment. I know
they haven't played great competition.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
When they played the.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Bad teams, they destroy the bad teams.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
They did beat Denver. They blew it against the Rams.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
The guy doesn't drop the ball before the goal line.
I think the anfl's Colts win that game.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
They have the best.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Points differential in the league by far. It means they're
blowing teams out. They've had the best running back in
the league. I think they may already have the best
tight end in the league in a rookie who's played
just a handful of games in Tyler Warren. Daniel Jones
looks like he did that one year. When they want
a road playoff game, n or Brian dablem the defense
is great, I know it's there. It's the yeah, but
the yeah but they played the Chargers next, we will
(08:43):
have a look. The Chargers are a very good team.
We probably expect to be in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
When do you believe if not?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Now they can only play who's on their schedule? Just
what is the week where if they beat them, then
we'll believe. This is not one in one anymore. It's
not two in one. It's oh what or not one?
A cute little store with Danie Jones. They are a
very good team who are smashing people on the schedule
in most weeks. And I have the Colts right now,
as it says right there, week seven is the best
team in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
All right, everybody hold up your board so we can
get a nice little fancy screen grab on October fifteenth.
That's what it looks like.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
All right, this is cool.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Just a refresher exercise on how we do top five
lists on GMFB, or at least this is a rule
that Kyle lives by. Everybody puts their list up, and
then we have to acknowledge those left off lists. For example,
I did a top five foot injuries list a couple
weeks ago, and Kyle was like, where's gout?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Like we always have to talk about going on there.
You guys have.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Quite the list of four win teams that you all ignored.
I got that on my board right here.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
There is no Denver, there is.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
No Buffalo, no Jacksonville, Chargers, New England, forty nine Ers, Philly,
Pittsburgh All those four win teams the three of you
do not have in your top five.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
So can anyone speak up.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
For the fact that these guys are not top five
powerful enough for you to be on your list at
four wins? You have a five hundred team, You've got
a team that's not looked great over.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Last couple of weeks. You have a super well.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Defending champion on this list, and none of you in
fifteen slots didn't put these teams on there.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Right KB.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I love the list because this is the statement about
this year in the NFL, is that I don't know
who it's going to be. It could be wild. I'm
looking at a lot of teams right there that are
really good teams.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Buffalo looks terrible right now, and they know, I think
even Bills fans, I don't know if they have them
in the top five.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Maybe they'll get there, but not now.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Philadelphia does not look good right now at all. They
don't look like a top five do We can just
take those off and then we have another guys, you
can join me here. The rest of them are this
conversation of teams that are kind of knocking in the door,
knocking on the door, like New England's and Denver with
young quarterbacks or their teams that maybe we just don't
trust yet. And I'll put Jacksonville there. Yes, they did
(10:47):
beat the Chiefs. It was great, and then they follow
it up with a kind of a disappointing loss, so
we only get five spots.
