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. 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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. 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. 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, 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.
