This is an IHeart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

10 takes is a production of the NFL in partnership with IHeart Radio.

10 takes, 10 minutes, symmetrical, simple, airtight, aerodynamic. That's how we like to do our show. You listen to it very quickly. Just walking around the block, walking the dog. As I've said many times before, we're big on toilets. We don't apologize for it. A friend of mine listens to the potty says, I like that. It's like a newsletter. I'm like, remember we used to get newsletters? Here we are. Your weekly newsletter and the NFL. I don't like too much

fat at the top. Start

the clock.

Take number one. The Bears are the same

team I watched last year and the year

before. Coming off the Sunday night football

game, Houston gets their props.

They were really good. Their defense is great. And Stroud is just so smooth and so cool. Caleb Williams is not going to be Stroud anytime soon. If that's the comp, it's the same thing I saw last year. How did Caleb Williams look? He looked like Justin Fields. It was like he was imitating him. He drops back. Does a lot of checkdowns, gets constantly rushed and harassed. He's a really good athlete, so he'll break a tackle, he'll break two tackles. He'll break three sack attempts on one play, but then the fourth one gets him. And if it doesn't, he throws an interception. It's a really bad offensive line. It's a good defense for them making plays and trying to keep them in it. But the line can't help him. The running game did nothing. If he's throwing it, it's usually a checkdown when he goes deep. He either overthrows the guy or gets intercepted. I know it's only a second game and we're not casting any permanent judgment. But how does Caleb Williams look? He looks exactly like Justin Fields used to look when he was on the Bears. Not winning now on the Steelers used to look on the Bears.

And Bears fans, you know what I'm talking about? It's not that it's bad. It's just not different. It's bad and not different. Take number two. The Jets are going to be fine. I told you that last week. I'm going to tell you that this week after a win. The Jets are going to be fine. Jets fans are addicted to suffering. And I know that you're trying

to bend over backwards and twist and find a way that yesterday's win against the Titans was bad

because I guess you didn't beat him by enough or you didn't look more impressive than you did.

You won. Aaron Rogers played a whole game. You won the game. You guys never win. And you

won. You won on the road. And here's how I know it's okay. If I were to go to you a month ago in the heart of training camp and say, all right, after two weeks, here's the deal on the table and I slide it across the desk. Rogers, after two weeks, is throwing three touchdowns with one interception. He's completing 60% of his passes. You guys did lose on the road to San Francisco,

but then week two, you turned around and you won at Tennessee, and now you'll have your home opener against the Patriots. It sound good to you? You'd say yes. YES, yes, yes, yes. It's going to be fine. Don't worry about it. I'll get some more on you in a second. Take number three. the Saints have the best offense in the league.

What is this?

What is going on in these Saints games? Because we all kissed it off week one because, all right, they played the Panthers. And we're going to say that every week. I'm not talking about the charges this week because they played the Panthers. But then they went into Dallas and just they put up 40 something points.

It was like Derek Carr's only drives where he doesn't throw a touchdown pass or the ones when they end up kicking a field goal.

It's really cool and really weird.

And yet I still don't trust it.
