Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I said it last week.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Does Kyle Chanahan just scream into a pillow every single night?
Who's out now, who's injured now? They're all injured. They're
up in the box. Even when they're back. Kittle, after
being gone for weeks, doesn't have a catch.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
And what he does is is like, I got McCaffrey.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I have a player of mass destruction, and I guess
I'm just gonna have to ride. I feel like there
was a talk between Kyle and Christian were like, Christian,
you just gotta be our guy. He's gonna have three
hundred carries this year. He's gonna have well over one
hundred catches. He is doing everything for this team. Because
you're so focused on the defensive injuries. We're not talking
about are you and Jennings who's been banged up and
(01:01):
Deebo who's.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
In another team in Kendrick Bourne.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
It's like, and then you think, oh, Kitt'll come back,
he'll help us.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
No catches, none, It's justin McCaffrey.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
And it's just the fact that this team is five
and two. You know, I'm always loath to talk about
awards this early in the year, Like, has there been
a better coach this year than Kyle Shanahan. He hasn't
had a starting quarterback for most of the year, he's
lost his receivers, he's lost his two best defensive players,
and he's not five hundred and hanging on. They're front running.
They're five and two. They beat the Rams. The Rams
(01:32):
are great. So, like, I'm very impressed with the Niners.
I dare I say I'm proud of the Niners and
I know they've been through injury seasons before. Eventually you
just say screw it. I'm frustrated. I'm tuning out.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I guess it's not our year.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I guess that's not our decade because all we ever
have is injuries and you come off flat against the Falcons.
They're not and they're winning and winning. The Niners are
gonna be a character in this thing. But by a character,
I mean they're gonna play a role at the end.
I don't know how their record's gonna wash out, but
we all know when it's week sixteen, Week seventeen, like
the Niners are going to involved despite just dropping parts.
(02:07):
That's coaching that's character, Like, I have so much respect
for that team and I don't want to play.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Them right now.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Through the games that we played this season, the league
leaders in receiving touchdowns. There are four players tied with
six touchdowns. One is Devonte Adams one as i'man Ross
Saint Brown. The other two are George Pickens and my
man Jake Ferguson. Two of the top four are Dallas Cowboys,
leading the NFL in touchdowns with six touchdown catches. And
yet I find that the Cowboys, I don't know if
(02:35):
they're one of the best teams. They are intriguing right
now because I don't totally get them. We've made jokes
about the record. They're three to three and one. It's
very strange. You know, last week they lost with the Panthers.
This team got hammered by the Bears. So they look
great against the Commanders and everything, and this is a
wonderful game. I'm not taking anything away from I really
am into watching the Cowboys right now. I just don't
(02:57):
know if they're great yet or not, And maybe they don't.
They're figuring it out next week. You know what their
matchup is. It is juicy as hell. The Dallas Cowboy
are at Denver. That Denver team that we just watched
yesterday with that defense like that, and that's going to
be the Dak and Pickens and Ferguson and City like
that's the one I want to see. So I'm not
discrediting them for just hanging forty four points on that.
Proud Commanders, see, that's great. I just like, normally we
(03:20):
know what the Cowboys are. We know that they're pretty
good and they're going to lose in the.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Playoffs, or we know that they're injured and not a factor.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I'm pleased to say I don't really know what this
team is yet, and I liked I don't know what
the president is waiting for us at the end of
the season.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I thought I did.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I thought the story of this year would be their
defense is terrible, they should never have traded Micah, and
the offense is great, but it's not enough. Maybe that
will be, but for right now undecided. The record says
it all three, three and one questions on both sides.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Is this even a playoff team?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I don't know, but yesterday was pretty impressive, good step forward.
I think this is a big, big, big, big week
for Brian Dable, like, I'd love to know what he's
had to say to his players behind closed doors. What
is his message? What is his message right after the game?
What is his message this week?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Personally?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
In our little show here, I've been saying since the
game was over, it's I know that they gave up
thirty three points in at an all time meltdown, but
with a rookie quarterback and a lot of new pieces,
they were up nineteen to nothing on the road against
the best defense in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
That's the takeaway.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
They have a guy in Dart, They have a team
that could capable of doing that.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Can they harness that? Again, that's coaching. That's coaching and
that psychology.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
They're playing a team that they beat by three scores
a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
This was Giant.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Siegeals was not a good game. They absolutely bludgeoned them,
and it was like, oh my god, what's wrong with
the Eagles? Here come the Giants.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
They should not only compete.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
You're telling me they're gonna win by three scores and
two weeks later they're gonna lose.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Why Because this in Philly, this should be a very
very very close game.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
If Brian Dable has a handle on this team psychologically.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Football wise.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I just want to say one quick thing about Saquon Barkley.
I hate being right, and for the entire offseason I said, no,
he won't even come close to two thousand yards. You
won't even snippe it, because no one ever does after
they get two thousand.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Jino.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Saquan's high rushing yards this year this year is eighty
eight yards. He has zero one hundred yard games last
year at fourteen fourteen. It's not working. It's not running,
and this is a totally different team that Philadelphia. Last
year it was Saquon left, Saquon right, and then eventually
Jalen would have to make a couple of throws. It's
not working in the run game at all. One of
the only things that works dependently for Philly is is
(05:17):
the tush push. But they're not getting down there with Saquon,
so I think that plays into the Giants' hands. It'll
be a study, especially Jamie. I think if the Giants
will say they go down ten nothing in the first
quarter and that defense is just like what is wrong
with us?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Then we'll see the scarts issue. Let's see how they start.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
But this is the Brian Dable Barometer game right now,
leader motivator. Let's see what he's got. It's still the Seahawks,
great record, great team. And when I was screaming about
that yesterday, when we ran Cassi's email and we were
talking about the Seahawks, it goes out on social media
and there's two different responses. One just the deliberate stubborn
(05:55):
haters saying worse five and two team ever worse five.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I find you can have your opinion.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
But then the other one that I didn't appreciate was
from Seahawks fans themselves saying, we don't want your support.
You're on the bandwagon. Now they've won some games. Now
you're finally talking about them. Oh Contrea, my friend. Let's
go back to NFL films in August September, before we
even play a game, roll the clip and the FC West,
(06:20):
NFC West. I see it over here, see a gold helmet.
I see a beautiful sterling blue helmet. Still feels like
the best buy color scheme.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
But that's okay. You know who I think is going
to win the NFC West. Would you like to know?
Would you like to know? Boom the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I've got the Seahawks winning the West, the Seahawks ten
wins last year. Yes, quarterback change, but I like how
they play defense. I like to run the ball. This
is not going to be a popular pick. I know
there are Niners fans wondering what drug I'm on right.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Now, just the drug of football. Let me tell you
something that's not easy to do. You look down at
those helmets.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
There's some sterling, attractive helmets in the NFC West. To
look down at that Niners gold and that Sean McVay rams,
and to choose the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
And I did it anyway, And if.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You want to direct your rank or somewhere when I
did it, one person on the show goes, what and
she's in LA right now because I have the audacity
to pick the NFC West champion Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
You gotta hit with the shrapnel on that one.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Jay.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, I have nothing to say to that.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I really know.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And yes, you're right. What do you mean the better yourself?
I don't want to You're right.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
I look down and I put the Niners in. I
think you know what I'm having like a blackout moment
from when we made our predictions.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Well done, Kyle.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I know you.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Oftentimes say like, don't look back too much on predictions,
don't patch yourself on the back. But I guess sometimes
when it suits yourself in a segment and it is
an easily clippable moment, do you want to say anything
else about how right you were about any of your
other predictions?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
No, the one I don't, Jamie, the ones I don't
like to look back on on the ones you mess.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Up, You ignore of those.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Everybody makes terrible predictions, but if you put yourself out there,
you meant any of us. Hell, yeah, beats your chest
a little bit. The bad ones, forget those. I was
surprised by the tweet. I think a lot of people
I was. I was also a little confused. So Russ
tweets this Tuesday night over two days prior, over forty
eight hours prior, Sean Payton seemingly inferred that he would
(08:15):
have rather have played Russell Wilson.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Than Jackson Dart. Like Sean Payton, if.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
He wants to take a shot at you, I think
he's taking it across the bridge of the nose, like
it is just going to be full on an attack.
It is not going to have to parse words and
take pauses all.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Also, for Russ, I feel like, just.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Socially, reputation wise, it's punching down. I thought Sean Payton
is a rogue. He is a pirate, is just what
he does. Russell Wilson off the field is a saint.
He's the Walter Payton Man of the Year. Did Russ
write this?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Was this? Actually him? Was this someone on his team
around him?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Russell Russell Wilson social media is like it's Bible versus
and it's photos of children's hospital visits. It's all incredibly
wholesome things. And now he's bringing up paying players to
knock other players out of the game. A decade and
a half ago, it just doesn't seem like something he
would do. And then I'm not to mention now like
now the Giants are about Russ Wilson.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yesterday's New York Post had a whole.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Story about Jackson Dart's moxie and cunning in the face
of all the adversity in the Denver game, and now
it's about like the backup quarterback is taking shots of
his old coach about something that happened a decade and
a half ago. There's a take that's like, you know,
good for Uss stand up for himself, and that's fine.
Like I'm not being petty about this. I just I felt,
(09:34):
like Russ said off the field, on the field has
not gone great recently. Off the field, he has such
dignity and such gravitas. And to just circle back two
days later to try to trade blows with your old
coach about bounty stuff, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It's very surprising, very very surprising.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Three of the of the sweetest, most delicate words you'll
ever utter as a family man.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Table for one. Yeah, it's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
And first of all, I have a wife and two kids.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I love going out to dinner with them.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I did it last night. I do it two hundred
times a year. I love a table for two. It's
just my wife. I do it countless times a year.
But it's really like once a year you say table
for one, and it is so beautiful And there is
nothing else in the table or the bar other than
your drink and your food and your thoughts. You know, Crans.
(10:25):
There's no word, searches, none of that. And guess what
else I'm gonna do when I'm drinking and eating. I
might just sit there on my phone and look at
it and scroll the whole time because I want to.
And then you know what you do when you finish
the meal for one, You go to a movie by yourself,
and you make it a date with yourself.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's the best.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
It's only once a year, once a year in my
adult life, I go to Fogo to chaw. I sit down,
I say, table for one. I have three glasses of wine.
I have fifty pounds of meat. I have a little
bit of salad, and I look forward to it like
it is Chrisman. It is that is me at the Fogo.
I should have an advent counter that counts down to that.
But you take a little piece of meat out of
the little door all the months of December.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
It's so great. I love it, just all amounts.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And the fact that Joe Flacco now has entered the
world where he has gone from. I feel sorry for
that poor schmuck. To God, I would give anything to
be that poor schmuck, makes him one of us, makes
me see him in a totally new light. And one
more time, the Robert read for Joe Flacco absolutely beautiful.
I love you well because we put it on a
(11:27):
platter right now for me as much as I amia
Rodgers to just call BS on him one hundred ten
out of ten full bs listen.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
A lot of what he's saying is absolutely.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Authentic and true. Like he I think he has genuine
love for the Packers and the logo and of course
all the players. And I think he's really good with
Matt Lafleur. I don't think he's good with the entire organization,
namely some people up in the front office who in
the in the prime of his career, really and it's
like his third prime as he's coming off of MVPs
and all that. They decided to draft a quarterback in
(11:56):
the first round. They decided to move up and draft
a quarterback who led the NFL or led the nation
in interceptions in college.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
They decided to move on Rogers. Now, is that the
right move? We can do that in other segments.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Since then, Jordan Love has won one playoff game, and
most of the time he looks pretty good. Rogers, believe me,
is a lot of things. I think he is as
enlightened as he is, and as positive and philosophical about
life and meaning and everything, he is still like a
football jerk. He still is all those things. He's still
very personal and very motivated. Do you think he wants
(12:30):
to lose to Jordan Love. No, you think he wants
to lose them out in the floor. No, you think
he wants to lose to everybody in the front office.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Hell no.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
He is a person who looks back and looks at
meanings of things and most meaningful moments in.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
His life and career. This is one of them. Whether
he wants to say it or not.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
He's not going to give you the quote, but watch
what he says after the game when he wins. Let's
see if he does just a little twinkle in the
eye because he's got it loaded.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Trust me, I don't buy it at all.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
I said it last week.
Speaker 3 (00:25):

But that's okay. You know who I think is going
to win the NFC West. Would you like to know?
Would you like to know? Boom the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I've got the Seahawks winning the West, the Seahawks ten
wins last year. Yes, quarterback change, but I like how
they play defense. I like to run the ball. This
is not going to be a popular pick. I know
there are Niners fans wondering what drug I'm on right.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Now, just the drug of football. Let me tell you
something that's not easy to do. You look down at
those helmets.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
There's some sterling, attractive helmets in the NFC West. To
look down at that Niners gold and that Sean McVay rams,
and to choose the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
And I did it anyway, And if.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You want to direct your rank or somewhere when I
did it, one person on the show goes, what and
she's in LA right now because I have the audacity
to pick the NFC West champion Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
You gotta hit with the shrapnel on that one.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Jay.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, I have nothing to say to that.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I really know.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And yes, you're right. What do you mean the better yourself?
I don't want to You're right.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
I look down and I put the Niners in. I
think you know what I'm having like a blackout moment
from when we made our predictions.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Well done, Kyle.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I know you.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Oftentimes say like, don't look back too much on predictions,
don't patch yourself on the back. But I guess sometimes
when it suits yourself in a segment and it is
an easily clippable moment, do you want to say anything
else about how right you were about any of your
other predictions?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
No, the one I don't, Jamie, the ones I don't
like to look back on on the ones you mess.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Up, You ignore of those.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Everybody makes terrible predictions, but if you put yourself out there,
you meant any of us. Hell, yeah, beats your chest
a little bit. The bad ones, forget those. I was
surprised by the tweet. I think a lot of people
I was. I was also a little confused. So Russ
tweets this Tuesday night over two days prior, over forty
eight hours prior, Sean Payton seemingly inferred that he would
(08:15):
have rather have played Russell Wilson.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Than Jackson Dart. Like Sean Payton, if.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
He wants to take a shot at you, I think
he's taking it across the bridge of the nose, like
it is just going to be full on an attack.
It is not going to have to parse words and
take pauses all.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Also, for Russ, I feel like, just.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Socially, reputation wise, it's punching down. I thought Sean Payton
is a rogue. He is a pirate, is just what
he does. Russell Wilson off the field is a saint.
He's the Walter Payton Man of the Year. Did Russ
write this?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Was this? Actually him? Was this someone on his team
around him?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Russell Russell Wilson social media is like it's Bible versus
and it's photos of children's hospital visits. It's all incredibly
wholesome things. And now he's bringing up paying players to
knock other players out of the game. A decade and
a half ago, it just doesn't seem like something he
would do. And then I'm not to mention now like
now the Giants are about Russ Wilson.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yesterday's New York Post had a whole.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Story about Jackson Dart's moxie and cunning in the face
of all the adversity in the Denver game, and now
it's about like the backup quarterback is taking shots of
his old coach about something that happened a decade and
a half ago. There's a take that's like, you know,
good for Uss stand up for himself, and that's fine.
Like I'm not being petty about this. I just I felt,
(09:34):
like Russ said off the field, on the field has
not gone great recently. Off the field, he has such
dignity and such gravitas. And to just circle back two
days later to try to trade blows with your old
coach about bounty stuff, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It's very surprising, very very surprising.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Three of the of the sweetest, most delicate words you'll
ever utter as a family man.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Table for one. Yeah, it's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
And first of all, I have a wife and two kids.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I love going out to dinner with them.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I did it last night. I do it two hundred
times a year. I love a table for two. It's
just my wife. I do it countless times a year.
But it's really like once a year you say table
for one, and it is so beautiful And there is
nothing else in the table or the bar other than
your drink and your food and your thoughts. You know, Crans.
(10:25):
There's no word, searches, none of that. And guess what
else I'm gonna do when I'm drinking and eating. I
might just sit there on my phone and look at
it and scroll the whole time because I want to.
And then you know what you do when you finish
the meal for one, You go to a movie by yourself,
and you make it a date with yourself.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's the best.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
It's only once a year, once a year in my
adult life, I go to Fogo to chaw. I sit down,
I say, table for one. I have three glasses of wine.
I have fifty pounds of meat. I have a little
bit of salad, and I look forward to it like
it is Chrisman. It is that is me at the Fogo.
I should have an advent counter that counts down to that.
But you take a little piece of meat out of
the little door all the months of December.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
It's so great. I love it, just all amounts.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And the fact that Joe Flacco now has entered the
world where he has gone from. I feel sorry for
that poor schmuck. To God, I would give anything to
be that poor schmuck, makes him one of us, makes
me see him in a totally new light. And one
more time, the Robert read for Joe Flacco absolutely beautiful.
I love you well because we put it on a
(11:27):
platter right now for me as much as I amia
Rodgers to just call BS on him one hundred ten
out of ten full bs listen.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
A lot of what he's saying is absolutely.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Authentic and true. Like he I think he has genuine
love for the Packers and the logo and of course
all the players. And I think he's really good with
Matt Lafleur. I don't think he's good with the entire organization,
namely some people up in the front office who in
the in the prime of his career, really and it's
like his third prime as he's coming off of MVPs
and all that. They decided to draft a quarterback in
(11:56):
the first round. They decided to move up and draft
a quarterback who led the NFL or led the nation
in interceptions in college.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
They decided to move on Rogers. Now, is that the
right move? We can do that in other segments.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Since then, Jordan Love has won one playoff game, and
most of the time he looks pretty good. Rogers, believe me,
is a lot of things. I think he is as
enlightened as he is, and as positive and philosophical about
life and meaning and everything, he is still like a
football jerk. He still is all those things. He's still
very personal and very motivated. Do you think he wants
(12:30):
to lose to Jordan Love. No, you think he wants
to lose them out in the floor. No, you think
he wants to lose to everybody in the front office.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Hell no.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
He is a person who looks back and looks at
meanings of things and most meaningful moments in.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
His life and career. This is one of them. Whether
he wants to say it or not.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
He's not going to give you the quote, but watch
what he says after the game when he wins. Let's
see if he does just a little twinkle in the
eye because he's got it loaded.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Trust me, I don't buy it at all.
