10 Takes with Kyle Brandt: Onto Vegas! · NFL Game Previews

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. Ten Takes. That's the name of the show.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Ten minutes is the amount of time we have to delivery.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: You know how this works. At this point, we're all
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the way into the Pro Bowl week pre Super Bowl week.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Tough mourning for the wacky conspiracy theorists online who believed
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: that the Super Bowl logo is going to dictate the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: two teams that play in it. Sorry, a lot of
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: purple in that logo. No purple in either the Chiefs
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: or the forty nine ers. That was fun wet last time.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Here we go ten minutes. If I don't get the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: ten takes in in time, it explodes directly in my
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: face and I'm scarred for life. Let's find out how
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: we're going to do today. Ten minutes start the clock. Factor.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Mahomes is back in the Super Bowl and he has
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: an idiotic offensive playoff record. Get ready for the next
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: thirteen days of hyping Patrick Mahomes deservedly so. The best
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I can do it is just completely fact based, number
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: base and just say this over and over. Patrick Mahomes
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: is fourteen and three in the playoffs in the NFL playoffs.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes record is fourteen and three, and it's so
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: good because you can remember all the three losses clearly
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and quickly if you follow football. The three losses he
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: has ever had at any level of the playoffs one
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: when he was a young pup practically a baby, lost
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to the Tom Brady Patriots in overtime. Two the one
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: he lost to Joe Burrow at Home and Arrowhead in overtime,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and then three in the Super Bowl, again to Tom Brady,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: this time with the Buccaneers, when Mahomes was running around
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: like a rodeo clown because he had no offensive line.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: So let me explain that to you. The only times
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Mahomes has ever lost in the playoffs are one time
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, completely outmanned, and then the two
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: other losses are not only in the title game, they're
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: both in overtime of the title game. So to beat
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: him in the title game you need an extra period,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: or you need him to have no offensive line. In
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, he doesn't lose the divisional We already
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: cover that. It is absolutely incredible than in the modern
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: NFL with an AFC as good as it is an
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: AFC quarterback field as talented as it is, and a
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: league as good as it is and as offensive driven.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Mahomes is fourteen and three in the playoffs. Think about that,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: somebody like Lamar who will get into in a second
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: as gifted and as talented as he is, also with
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a winning franchise and a super Bowl winning head coach.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Lamar's two to four in the playoffs. Mahomes is fourteen
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and three, and he's trying to go fifteen to three.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Take number two. I was inspired by Travis Kelcey yesterday.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I really mean that he was the best player in
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the game at his age. With the wearing tear he's
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: been on. He was targeted eleven times and made eleven catches.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: That was I think Travis Kelsey's best game. You can
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: find bigger statistics. Maybe you're bigger catches or bigger moments.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I don't care. It's fine it may put it this way.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: That was my favorite game of Travis. Kelcey's set the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: tone really early. Everyone's hearing about this. Kyle Hamilton, this
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: young safety had a notre dame for the Ravens. Kelsey
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: scored on him early. He spiked it. There was no
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: dance no hipswivel. It was a big means spike. He
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: was not doing the heart up to the crowd or
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to tailor or whatever. Just pissed off business like Kelsey,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: who was amazing. Here's the thing about Kelsey. I've been
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: on him this year too, because he's disappeared at times
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: for long stretches. Statistically, he just hasn't produced when the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Chiefs really needed him. Fine, he flipped a switch last week.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: He kept the switch in the same direction this week. Dominant.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And you gotta know that guy's been through some stuff
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: this year, by his own choice. He seems very happy
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and everything, but his life has changed dramatically. His fame
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: has skyrocketed, his lifestyle, his privacy, all of that. He
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: was a very famous football player before and now he's
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: like a global figure. That's got awigh on your mind.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: That's got to mess you up. I don't know if
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: everybody can handle it. That would eat people alive. You
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to do your job, you wouldn't be
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: able to leave the house. It's incredible that he's done that,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: considering what he's got going on off the field, how
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: good he still is on the field. I was personally
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: inspired by Dravis Kelce yesterday, to be as good as
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you can, to produce like you can in the biggest moments.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: That was just unbelievably cool. Take number three. Lamar and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the Ravens were terrible. I wish it couldn't be so blunt,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: but I only have ten minutes. That was not a
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: good game. The NFC game was really fun, back and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: forth first half, second half, two team putting up points.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: The Ravens had just next to nothing. They really did.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Here's the story. You'd show up and it's the greatest
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: atmosphere that that stadium has ever produced. There's all the history,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: there's all the old players, there's the smoke, there's the fire,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: there's the music. You start with the ball and it's
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a three and out, Bam, three and out. Then the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: defense comes out. This defense is incredible, and it's ro
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: quant and it's queens, go right down the field, touchdown.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Then Lamar gets a touchdown. It was really good play,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: incredible play, and then it just went fumble, punt, punt, punt, punt, interception,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: fumblefield goal. See later, We're going to Cabo. Just like that,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: just absolutely nothing on offense. It was bizarre. It was frustrating.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: It was disappointing as someone like me who just wants
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a really good product, who wants these guys to go
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: back and forth. They didn't go back and forth. And
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the caricature of Lamar and for so many people, is
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that you know, he's going to make some really good highlights,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: but you can't count them in the playoffs, and he's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: not gonna win the big games. That was their birthday
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: yesterday because Lamar had this amazing play where he threw
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the ball and it got inflected and he caught it. Wow,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: what a cool play. But who cares? Who cares? They
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: scored one touchdown in the biggest game in the history
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of that stadium. They came up woefully short. And I
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: don't know, it's just wrong generation, I guess ask Alan,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: asked Tua, ask Lamar. Those guys play with mahomes and
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: he beats them. It sucks. I feel very disappointed for
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Ravens fans. But at least the Lions showed up, put
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: up some points before their tragedy. The Ravens thing was
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: tragedy almost from the start, really really bad. Take number four.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: The Lions couldn't just lose normally, could they They couldn't
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: just show up, maybe have a couple of lead changes,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and then the Niners end with the ball and they
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: make a field goal at the buzzer, and then Nines
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: lose thirty one to twenty. It couldn't go that way.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: It had to be a full, gut wrenching, heart ripping,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: throat slashing tragedy. Didn't it. It did seventeen points. I
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: can't believe they lost that game. And don't give me
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the same old line stuff. I'ven't butught on that all year.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: It was just a series of unconscionable plays. The Reynolds
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: drop on fourth down was obviously big, but then there
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: was another Reynolds drop on third and ten. There was
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a very easy catch, and Reynolds has made catches all year.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: He's not some loser who just showed up out of
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: nowhere and can't catch. He's been really clutched for them. Then,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I don't know what happened to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: bruck Perdy started running a four to two forty. This
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: scrambling was unbelievable. Jamir Gibbs is not a fumbler, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: it merely the most critical point in the game. Jamir
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Gibbs fumbles pretty overthrows. Ayuk. It's not a good play.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: The Lions should have intercepted it. It hits their defensive
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: back and the bleeping face, and then he catches it
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: on top of it. Ayuk. If any of those things
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: don't happen, I think the Lions win the game. Not
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to mention, do you remember at the end of the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: game when the Lions punter kicked an eighty yard punt
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that landed on the one yard line, bounced directly up
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in the air and they still couldn't down it as
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a touchback. There was about seven really bad plays. I
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: feel like if they made six, they win the game.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: There were seven really bad mistakes. If they make six mistakes,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: they're going to the super Bowl. They made seven. Take
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: number five. Frustrated with Dan Campbell. There's a whole culture
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: war this morning and then armshare quarterbacking Monday morning quarterback
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: in mathematics analytics? Should he have gone for those fourth downs?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Where I come out is I don't like the cliched,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: tried and true corny jock speak of Listen, you've ridden
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: this all year as a guy who's gonna be aggressive.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: You stay true to who you are as a coach.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: So you're telling me that you just adapt one philosophy
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: in training camp and you don't evolve, You don't go
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: case per case. You don't feel the game and don't
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: feel the crowd, you don't feel your team. It's stupid,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: it's overly simplistic, and it's reductive to what coaching is.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: You don't just say Dan Campbell's a guy who's gonna
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: go for it, so you go for it. No, you
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: see what we got, you see how you feel. There's
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: an intangible judging of the game. You look in your
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: quarterback size, you feel the rhythm, you feel the crowd.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Should we kick here? If Dan Campbell really felt in
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: those situations that he should go for it and he
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: should keep the kicker off, well, then go for it. Dan,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: do it. But there's all this apologizing for Campbell with
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that dumb Corny Disney cliche of you go with who
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you've been all season. No, you go with the moment demands.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And I'll give you an example of that. Take number
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: six Mahomes. After the game was absolutely nails, he was
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: asked bout how Well's defense was playing. Remember, Mahomes only
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: scored seventeen points, and he went on and said, sometimes
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you feel the game. So that's Mahomes saying listen as
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: well as our defense was playing. I'm aware of that,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and I let that dictate how I play and the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: decisions that I make. I don't just chuck it around
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: like I normally would. I can feel when maybe our
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: defense needs meet up to put up thirty points, when
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: our defense is playing that well, I've been in enough
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: games to since maybe throw it out of bounds, maybe punt,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: let's let the defense win the game. Brilliant, It's insightful.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I think that's what Dan Campbell, as a coach, not
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a quarterback, should have done. Take number seven. Forty nine
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Ers are back in the Super Bowl, and I think
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: it's really cool. I was there working the Pro Bowl
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: in Las Vegas last year, a few days after they
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: lost to the Eagles in the Brock pretty injury game.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I got stuck to Kittle, I got to talk to Yustcheck,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: got talked to McCaffrey. Guys. I noticed a little bit
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: over the years, I have never seen losing athletes after
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a game be that flu mixed and that almost catatonic
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: about what the hell happened. I've seen a lot of
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: guys lose the game. It sucks. Ah, yeah, tough break.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: We'll get him next year. Uschack and Kittle they could
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: barely talk about how strange that game was and what
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to do about it, and they were so shook by it,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and I really felt for them as human beings. They're
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: back and I'm excited for him. Take number eight. Rock
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Purty is a robot, after all. I've said it for
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: all year. That's what you want, that little machine like
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: android who has all the most regurgitated artificial intelligence cliches
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: after the game, how we never gave up and never
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: did this. He's perfect. I love the guy. I don't
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: know if he's gonna make the big mistake in the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Mahomes is going to be better. I don't know,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: but I like the way he handled himself really bad
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: first half after not playing Wuggins. The Packers nail second half.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Take number nine. The officiating was passable. That's a big
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: win for us guys. We're not talking about the officials today.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I know the Ravens feel like they got jobbed. I
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: don't at all. This A Flowers thing was crazy. He
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: did three different things. You can't do to showboat on
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a guy. If you had done two, they wouldn't call.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: He did all three. The Clowney call was fine. The
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: van neut thing was fine. The officials you got us home.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: We're not talking about you. Take number ten. I love ladybugs,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and I didn't know they were good luck. Did you
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: know that Brandon Ayuk credited his big catch that changed
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the game to a ladybug landing on his foot before
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the game. That was good luck. I'm not making this up.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Ladybugs are going to be hot going to Vegas. That's incredible.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: A ladybug take at the buzzer ten minutes, Brandon Ayuk,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to elaborate because I'm over ten minutes.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: But he did tell Aaron Andrews last night that he
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: was able to make that catch because a ladybug landed
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: on his damn foot before they and their good luck.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I don't even know they were good luck. I had
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to google it. People really swear by that. I swear
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: by you guys listening to ten takes every single week.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I love you. It's Pro Bowl week next Monday, I'm
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: working the Pro Bowl, so I'm going to Orlando, and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna intermix with all those guys there. I'll come
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: back with stories and anecdotes and selfies and all that stuff.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I got all type stuff to talk about next Monday,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and we'll preview with the super Bowl going into it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: But that's it. I'm not supposed to go over. I
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: got it in under the buzzer again. Ten Takes, ten minutes.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Tell your friends, see you next week. Ten Takes is
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. For
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: more iHeartRadio pods, go to the iHeartRadio app, go to Apple,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: go anywhere you like, it'll be there.
