10 Takes with Kyle Brandt: Like CFB, we're leaving top teams out · NFL Game Previews

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. You did it, You're here, it's ten takes.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: It sounds great. How long does it take? I'm glad
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: you asked ten minutes. I will give you ten semi
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: discernible takes in ten minutes. They're not always pretty, but
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: there's always ten. It's always in ten minutes. I'm gonna
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: do a little different today. I got some things to say.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Several of you have tweeted me being like we were
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: waiting for the thing to blow up when you're on
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: like take seven, maybe will happen today. There's a bomb
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: that goes off when the timer reaches zero. If I
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: don't get the ten takes in, I've failed you. Let's
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: get after it right now, Take number one. I'm gonna
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: do this differently today. College football has a ridiculous system
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: that was flambayed over the weekend where they only let
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: four teams into their stupid, ridiculous playoff. I hate it.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: It's obnoxious, it's unfair. What if the NFL did it,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: What if we had to decide right now? Teams two
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and three, and four the only ones allowed in the playoffs.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Independent of AFC and NFC. Here's what you got Team
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: number one for me, Samsisco forty nine ers. It was
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the most build game of the year. It was the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: most hype game of the year. It was one of
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the most one sided games of the year. The Sampanscisco
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers win against the team that roster is
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: so good and so deep and so ridiculous, and all
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: these Georgia guys and all these new signings and all
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: these draft picks, and they slacked them. They molly wopped them.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Choose any verb you want. They go up six to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: nothing Philadelphia, and you're like, all right, well, they're doing well.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: They're controlling the pace. And there was this moment where
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: it's like, rock perty, are you ready for this. You're
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: in the same stadium where your arm almost fell off,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: it's cold, it's rainy, you don't have any first downs.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: The Eagles have a bunch. I'm not sure you're up
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to this moment. And then my god, was he up
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to it? They scored six touchdowns the next six possessions
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: against this unstoppable roster who has an unstoppable play. They
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: got one of their security guys kicked out. We'll get
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to that later. San Francisco's number one. Take number two.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: My second team, My number two team in the college
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: football style top four is the Ravens. The Ravens are
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: on a buy right now, and I don't care. I
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: still think they're the second best team as we sit
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: right now. I don't know how it's gonna project, don't
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: know how it's gonna end up. If I'm ranking on
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: one through four the teams that deserve to be in
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a four team playoff, The Ravens are number two. They
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: still have, in my opinion, a top five, maybe top three,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: most impressive win on the year with what they did
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to Detroit maybe four or five weeks back. Do you
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: remember when the Ravens blew the doors off the Lions.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: It wasn't even close, A really good Lions team that's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: nine and three. After this weekend, Ravens destroyed him. The
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Mark Andrews thing looms large. I feel like they're gonna
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: need him in the payoff with the Ravens. From my
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: number two team, take number three. The Eagles are the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: three team. The Eagles are the three? Do they deserve
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to be the three? After what just happened against San Francisco.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Do they deserve to be the three after they somehow
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: lost to the Zach Wilson zombie Jets. I still think
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: they do. I still think they have the roster. I
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: still think they have the quarterback. Jail Hurts wasn't terrible yesterday,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: put up a couple of scores. The line did pretty
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: well against Bosa at AL. They have the depth. You know.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: The deal with the Eagles, you kind of were waiting
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: for them to take a shillaking. They'd played with fire
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: too many times and they finally got burned badly. I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: still think the number three team. You know, my number
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: four team is we'll go to take number four. I
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: have the Dolphins. I have the Dolphins ahead of the Cowboys.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I have the Dolphins ahead of the Chiefs. I have
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a Dolphins ahead of the Lions. I think if you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: were to ask defensive coordinators around the league to make
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: their top four list, I think they would include the Dolphins,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and I think it would be a choice propelled by fear.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I think they're terrified of that team. I think every
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: single team knows what they're gonna get from Tyreek and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: they can't do anything about it. It's one of the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: most inexplicable things on the season. How if you're the Commanders,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: if you're any team, do you not just say listen.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe they run all over us. Maybe Waddle has a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: huge game. Maybe everybody else in the team has a one
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: hundred yard game. It's two hundred yard game. We are
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: not gonna let Tyreek do us like that, and they
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: still do it. I want Tyreek to get that record.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I wanted to get it in sixteen games, and he's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: about a hundred and twenty one yards a game in
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the next four games to get it. They're my number
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: four team. Take one, two, three, and four. My four
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: teams forty nine, Ers, Ravens, Eagles, Dolphins, the Chiefs. Just listen.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: They're the Chiefs. They have the equity. They got skins
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: on the wall. They just lost to the Packers. They're
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: probably six or seven. They might be won by the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: time the season is over. Right now, they're not in
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the top four. Take number five. Can we talk about
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: big Dom for a second, and what was otherwise a
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: very one sided Eagles Niners game. You had the all
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: time bizarre dust up on the sideline. Drake Greenlaws slams
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Devonte Smith. There's words exchange, there's confrontations, and then a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: guy in the sideliner and street cloths, we're in a
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: hat with an Italian flag on it, touches Drake green Law,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the Niners linebacker, and then Dray reaches out into something
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: really weird where he brushes the back of his hand
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: against Dom's face. And I kept saying on the air
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: this morning, what is that? What kind of disrespect is that?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Someone said? It's you draw a mushtass on someone and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it clowns them. I don't even know if he mustached them,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: if that's a thing. I just need to know that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: what the hell happened to lead to a non uniformed
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: personnel being ejected and Drake Greenlaw understand green Law is
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: leading the Niners Attackle all the time. It's a very
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: important player. Shanahan's head was about to explode that they
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: gave up a king for a pawn. And Dom apparently
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: has this legendary reputation once the Eagles. He's been there,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: way way way back since the Andy Reid era. And
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: he's loved and he's quiet, and he hates the spotlight.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: And now they're selling Big Dom sweatshirts elsewhere I have
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: nothing to say about Big Dom. I feel like you
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: might know people who wouldn't be kind to me. If
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a guy's name is Big Dom and he's working the sideline,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and he's put his hands on people, and he's one
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of his titles is a advisor to Howie Roseman. Is
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Big Dom advising Howie Roseman on anything other than get
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the hell behind me if there's trouble. Crazy Take number six.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Officiating is not the worst it's ever been. It is
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the most exposed it's ever been, and it's the most
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: complicated it's ever been. I hate that one here. Officiated
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: has never been worse. I think officiating is always kind
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of bad. I think if he broke down from some
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: random nineteen eighty six Bears versus Packers game, and you
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: were able to do it in the same clarity and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: with the same replays and with the same camera angles
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: as we are now, you would see it's really really
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: quote unquote bad. But it was really rough. At the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: end of the Chiefs Packers game too, the one on
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the sideline to Mahomes enter the complication factor. So Mahomes
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: takes a big hit in which the hit happened in
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: bounds happen at the sticks, and it happened in a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: way where the defensive back, Jonathan Owens was trying to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: stop his forward momentum. The human being referee is being
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: told over and over, we got to protect these quarterbacks.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: We got these new rules. He sees the face of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the league, probably Mahomes take a massive hit on a
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: very close to the sideline, and he freaks out and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: something in his brain triggers, oh my god, Mahomes took
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a hit. I have to flag it. He just does
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: it out of human reaction. Now he shouldn't, but that's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: how it is. Officiating has always been bad. I don't
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: think it's worse than it ever is. I think it's brighter.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I think it's clearer, and I think it's way more
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: complicated than it ever is. And it's frustrating as hell.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Am I only on take number seven. This is gonna
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: be tough. Take number seven. My favorite of team I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: think I talked about this last week in December is
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the come running teams. The come running teams were not
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: great in September. They weren't even really that great in October,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: but sometime after Halloween they figured it out and they're
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the teams that are dangerous right now. Their record isn't
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: that great, but their recent runs are excellent. The number
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: one come running team right now is the Indianapolis Colts,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and they got this crazy thing where Gardner missus playing
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: very well and the defense works and the coach works.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: They have won four in a row. The Colts. They're
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: coming running also, the Rams. Rams have won three in
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: a row. They're winning games that matter. They mcvay's got
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: them figured out. The come running teams often don't get
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Ask Denver. They lost a big game
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: this weekend that might really hurt them to try to
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: get them in the playoffs, and they broke the league's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: longest winning streak. But they don't always get in, but
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: they knock people off in December. I like the Rams,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the Colts, and sort of the Broncos for come running teams.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: They're not all gonna make it. Take number eight relating
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to the Rams. Sean McVay is a top five coach,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: top five coach. If you're to rank your top five coaches,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: it's tough right now because Belichick is so terrible and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: self loathing and miserable, and as the worst team in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the league, and he was number one for a while.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: John Harbaugh is the name that always floats there, but
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: then people also don't like him because he messes up
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and then he has playoff issues.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I think you got to put Andy Reid in. Kyle
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Shanahan is definitely in because he made coach Brock party
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to an MVP this year. But the one I can
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: say for sure is Sean McVay is a top five
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: coach in the league. This roster is not great. The
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: old line is put together. They got a rookie named
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Puka who they drafted in the fifth round. Who's doing
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Randy Moss things. Cooper Cup's been hurt, Matthew Stafford's been hurt,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and there the Rams are in the mix. This is
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: going to be his masterpiece if he gets this team,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the one that the quarterback's wife in the preseason was
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: going on her podcasts saying all kinds of things about
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: their chemistry or lack thereof. It's his masterpiece if he
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: gets them in. Take number nine. Peppermint Bark is so good.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I can't resist it. It's everywhere in my house. I
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: have dreams about it. I wake him middle night it's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: under my pillow. I don't even like peppermint. I think
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: peppermin sucks. It is like one of the worst flavored mints.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I'd rather have spearmint or they're crazy drunk cousin cinnamon.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I hate peppermint. I can't stop beating peppermint. Park Take
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: number ten. Video game truck is an absolute killer for
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a kid's birthday party. Killer in a good way. Let
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: me explain to you what I do, for the second
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: year in a row from my son. For his birthday party.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: We hire a video game truck, which is a giant
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: tour bus. You go on it. There's a million video
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: games set up, PlayStation, this Xbox, this switch, and they
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: got monitors, and the kids just go out there and
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: they blast club music. The people who run it and
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: they play the video games for two straight hours. And
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you say that sounds kind of boring. They love it.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: They love just sitting there on that bus, listening to
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the club music, listening to Sandstorm, playing everything from Fortnite
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to Mad Into Everything. And I come up with a
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: special tradition I do with my kid. Feel free to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: steal it. When we break for pizza, I say to
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: all the kids We had eighteen boys at my house.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I said, Calvin and I are going to face off
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: in Mortal Kombat. If Calvin wins, you guys get another
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: half an hour to play video games and you get cake.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: If I win, the parties over. I text all your parents.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: They pick you up forty five minutes early. No cake,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: no more games. That's it. We go on. They got
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the two controllers set up. All the other screens are
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: turned off. It's on the character select screen and my
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: son and I battle and his friends go crazy and
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: they're chanting his name. I let him win the first round.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I destroy him in the second round, and then a
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: third round. It goes down to the last ten seconds
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and finally my son wins, finish him and the kids
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: go crazy and they do a dogpile and they're chanting
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: his name and they're popping off champagne if they had it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: And that's it. It is so fun, the Mortal Kombat
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: showdown on the video game truck. If you have a
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: young son or daughters into that stuff, use it. That's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: ten takes, that's ten minutes. I gave you my top four,

• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and I talked about Big Dom. I talked about my
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: top coaches. I talked about my top birthday party idea.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I talk about my top Christmas season treat. A bleeping
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: peppermint bark. It just follows me everywhere. I can't get
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: away from it, and every time I see it, I
