Mac & Bone Hour 2: Panthers Top 10 Offense? · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what was wrong with that play caller last year?
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Guy wouldn't get the ball down the field. No, it
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: was by design. And again, it's not just about pushing
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the ball down the field. It's when you take those attempts.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It's when those opportunities are there, calling it in such
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: a way that it's there. And then also Bryce taking
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: advantage of the looks. He's doing a great job of that.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And then just fine-tuning what we're asking our receivers to do.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: We don't have these small, light, track type of athletes.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: We got big, powerful men. that can stretch the field
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: in different ways, but we've got to just find the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: right ways to do it with them, set up the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: other routes that we throw in the intermediate zones so
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: we can take advantage of some of those deeper shots.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: And I'm really pleased with the growth and the opportunities
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that are showing up.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: That's good self-deprecating humor from Dave Canales being asked about, man,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: it seems real intentional, Bone, to throw the ball deeper.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: this year to get it downfield more often than you
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: did last year. And he says, yeah, what was wrong
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: with that play caller last year? But it does. And
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, we were talking about giving
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Brad Idzik credit for it. Brad Idzik can't alter your
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: aggressiveness of the offense, Bone. without Dave Canales' blessing, I'm sure.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: And maybe it's just, hey, they feel like Bryce is
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: ready for this now. You know, the way he played
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: for most of the second half of the season last year,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: maybe they kind of feel like, you know, you heard
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Dave talking about, man, this is his offense now. He's
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: on there and he's telling, he's telling everybody, hey, here's
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: how I want you to run this route. Here's what
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I want you to do. Darren Waller's, you know, he's,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Darren Waller, he's telling him on Friday, those two touchdowns,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: he told him on Friday, hey, here's what I want
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: you to do on those plays. So, like, maybe they
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: just feel like Bryce is ready for it now. Whatever
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: the reason is, or maybe Izzik's really pushing to be
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: more aggressive than Dave was. Whatever the reason is, man,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I want to bottle this. I want to drink it
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: every week. Like, it is exactly what we wanted, man.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Get the ball downfield. Threaten people downfield on defense.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: It's really pretty selfless move by canal is to identify
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: that him not calling the plays during the game benefits
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: the team because a lot of a lot of young
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: head coaches that feel like they have to hold on
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: to maybe what their their strength is their identity or
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: on what side of the ball to be able matt
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: to identify that they're better off with him in a
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: in a different in-game role we said it all offseason
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: but that's a very selfless role for a guy still
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: pretty new to the head coaching position absolutely and then
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: to joke about it like that like i just like
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: we talked about a little bit yesterday but we were
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: handing out so much praise we're loving on everybody yesterday
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: but i really think to your point like He just
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: wants what's best for the Panthers.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: He just wants to win. Don't get me wrong.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: That results in him getting praised, him being a success,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: him probably getting a raise in extension.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: So don't get me wrong.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Ultimately, he wants to succeed himself, but he doesn't really
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: have to do it. Like, how many of those... offensive geniuses,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: offensive gurus, the young offensive play callers that get head
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: coaching jobs. How many of that bone want to do it,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: but they want to do it their way? I know
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: what's best. And Dave Canales doesn't give that vibe, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I think it's real likable, man.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I think that's pretty much par for the organization as well.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of good people involved in a lot
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: of the operations, whether it's Morgan, whether it's Canales. it's
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: price that quarterback. There's a lot of individuals that, you know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: are in it for the best of the Panther organization.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, what a mushy segment. Oh, now we're going to
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: talk about the offense and can they be in the
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: top 10? What a feel good mushy segment. What a
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: difference a week makes. Um, I do want to mention
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: this though, bone, couple of numbers about the aggressiveness of
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: the offense. Um, 61% pass rate it through two weeks, um,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: 51 last year so it's a pretty big jump there
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: that's why i've been yelling during first half of these
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: games run the ball but maybe brad knows best and
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: then the differences in terms of aggressiveness last year bryce
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: averaged 6.9 air yards per attempt that's the average like
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: distance your receiver is downfield um this year it is
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: over 10 yards an attempt bony third in the league
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: It's completely changed. He's usually near the bottom of the league. Also,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: 4.9 per completion last year. This year, it's 8.8 per completion.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: That's third in the league. He's thrown 15% of his
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: passes on deep routes. That's basically doubled. So, man, I
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: hope it keeps up. I hope it keeps up.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: It's also trust in the guys he's throwing the football
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: to as well.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, definitely. They're making plays. That helps.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: And I know we said it last week, but, man,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: we'll see it next year, but. Wait till Brazel adds
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: his element to this offense as well. Because that's not
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: even there right now.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: That's a good point.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: I think he's been a forgotten man. That's a pretty
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: good call there. So, okay, so here's what we're going
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: to do. I do want to talk about this defense and.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Have we severely underrated it? Are we now feeling like
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: this offense? All the talk was about the defense preseason
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: being top ten. This offense, Bone, is like top three
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: or four in a ton of categories. Yards, points, yards
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: per play, passing, all those categories.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Tell me who they played, Matt. Read them off. Who
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: did they play so far?
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: That's going to be part of the conversation. My name's Richie, man.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Who did we play so far? I imagine that's.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: What he sounds like.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Can this be a top ten offense? Are we that gung-ho?
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Are we that excited? Do we got to hold our
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: horses on that?
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, certainly. I mean, they're above top 10
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: right now. Yeah, no, I think top 10 is in play, especially,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: and we talked about it yesterday, they're top 10 in
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: large part due to what the passing offense has done.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: The offensive line is still trying to figure themselves out.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: They had a lot of upheaval with injuries, and they'll
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: get some guys back and we'll figure out what's the
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: best five out there, what's the best tackle tandem to
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: go out there with the guards and Fortner. But at
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: some point, Mac, their running game, you would think, picks
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: up a little bit as well here. And Chuba really said, yeah,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: he had a good day the other day, but there
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: are too many penalties by the offensive line. At some point,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: the running game, I expect to get going as well
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: to go with the passing game. And when that happens,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I certainly think this is a top 10 offense consistently
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: throughout the season.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Carolina Brink says, I want to see a four-game sample
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: before I comment.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: That's fair.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm trying not to come on here guns a-blazin'
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: and put the Matt Cursaroo on these boys. I mean,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: it's hard to not be excited about the offense. I
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: think that's where I start, is I'm just so giddy
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: and so excited that they're pushing the ball down the field.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: that they have this duo of receivers that are two
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: absolute studs, that you can try to take one away
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: at your peril, that we have a veteran red zone
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: threat like Waller. I think Chuba looks great. I think
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Chuba's fresh and healthy, and I'm not sure he was
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: healthy bone. at all really last year. And so I just,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Bryce seems like he is taking maybe his biggest jump yet.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: He's improved every year. This feels like it has a
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: chance to be a ginormous leap. I think Brad Idzik
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: looks like the goods. I mean, I understand, like I
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: was reading the panthers.com stuff about all these stats, right?
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: And they said, I don't know if it's Gann or
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Cassidy Hill that wrote it, but they were like, you know,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: we're two games in at some point they will regress
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: to the mean. So we do have to tell ourselves
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: that a lot of you are saying, oh, they played
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: the Falcons or the Bears. Bone predicted that text coming in.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: And it is fair.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: But regression to the mean, I don't think the mean
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: is what it used to be. You know what I mean?
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I think the mean, like,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think the mean.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Is Bryce throws for 6.9 air yards per pass. I
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: don't think we're going back to Dink and Dunk City.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: You are now flying air Bryce. You are now flying
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: air Bryce. The only thing before air Bryce Bone was
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: one of them little puddle jumpers, right? One of them
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: little planes that goes from the Concord Regional Airport to
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: the Monroe Regional Airport, right? But like now to get
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: to your house, I think, I think now Bryce, I
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: do think, do I think he's going to stay up
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: there in the top three necessarily? I could see what
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: they're saying on panthers.com or Grestin and me, but I
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: don't think we're going back to Bryce's passes being as
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: short as he is.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: I don't think we're going back to that. I don't
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: think so either. And it's so good Mac to have
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: an offense. Look, I'm not saying that every day is
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: going to be perfect and great, but But it's so
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: refreshing to have an offense when you're analyzing a game
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: or what's coming up that an offense, you don't have
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: to say, well, can they get to 17 points and
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: maybe give their team a chance for an offense to
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: be productive? We haven't really seen a consistent offense in
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: a long time here. And it completely changes your mindset
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: of games because, oh, defense may not have their best day.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Well, guess what?
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: The offense can pick them up. Oh, defense may have
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: a balance. We haven't had a balance operation in.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: A very long time.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: It's a great point that you made. You made it
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: in the first hour, and it applies to this conversation.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I like to bring my points back again and again.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: If you're a good one, ride it, baby.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Keep riding that, baby, like it's Seabiscuit or something.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Like it's dollar bill. Oh, my. I like that noise there, Bo.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Do you think XL makes a hoarse noise when he's riding?
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: I don't have my sound effects machine anymore, so now
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: I just make the noises.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Up on the fly.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: By the way, people are asking, when's the Atlanta Montage
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: of Misery? It's going to run twice. It's so nice
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: we're running it twice today. And it will run in about,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know, three minutes here? It's coming up pretty soon?
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: People are also asking, where can they see the dance video?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: a uh a twitter account uh at t-bone wfnz at
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: matt wfnz at wfnz also it's up on my facebook
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: page as well so there are ways to go there
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: you go all kind of joy today i didn't tell
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: you this matt granny pat yesterday asked why didn't we
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: dance to music I said, Granny, turn your volume up. Granny,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: those ears are failing you. They are failing you at
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: this point in life. 704-570-9610. Keep coming to Texan. This
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: dude says, Top 10 seems a little rich to me still.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: We have not played the best defenses. But there's no
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: doubt in my mind the offense might be the best
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: unit on this team. That's the thing is I'm trying
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: to figure out where's the mean that the defense regresses to.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Because I'm pretty sure, Bone, they're not going to be
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: a 50-point-plus defense. Pretty sure they're not going to be
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: a three-point-per-game defense. So where do they settle in? Where
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: does the offense settle in? Who stays healthy?
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? There's some really important guys
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: on defense and on offense that need to stay healthy.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say too much and jinx it,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: but I think top 10 is possible. I don't know
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: if I would make that my official prediction at this
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: point because, I don't know, hashtag Matt curse. But I
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: do want to see a little more of a sample.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: If we get through, like, let's say the Eagle game. Like,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: if we get through five games, Bone, and this team
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: is still, Bryce is still destroying people deep, I think
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: at that point we might need to totally readjust. You know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: in terms of like, whoa, how good this offense is.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, at some point I will compare them to the
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: 99 Rams, but I'm not.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: How many games for that?
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: I've been thinking about Holt Bruce, T-Mac Hoker. You know,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: we're kind of missing the Marshall Falk, I guess, but
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: I've gone too far now.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: This dude says, Mac just said it, we've got to
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: stay healthy. The offense, as is, can be pretty dang good,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: but some injuries on the offensive line, some injuries to
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: either of our two receivers or Bryce, and we're in trouble.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Now Chuba, too, if Brooks is going to be out
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: for a little bit. So, yeah, I do think I
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: would worry a little bit about the depth, but let's
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: not forget, our two starting tackles are out. The tackles
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: struggled a little bit the other day. They gave up,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: according to PFF, a sack each, and Freeland gave up
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: four pressures, and Walker gave up six.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: They struggled.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: And that's without Atlanta's top edge rushers in there. At
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: some point, Bone, we're going to get Icky and Moten healthy,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: so that can only.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: only help i mean we'll figure out the what what
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: happens when those guys yeah who knows but the depth
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: is stronger no doubt we'll see what they what they
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: did icky's the one where we're trying to figure out
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: because i think we kind of know moan's gonna get
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: his spot back there but icky's the one where we
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: got to figure out what exactly the role.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Is does he go in right away or is there
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: no need to go in right away that sort of
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: thing All right, let's get to it.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: These are a complete treat.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Beating the Falcons has become a regular occurrence, embarrassing them,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: especially in their house has become a regular occurrence. And
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, this hits like a narcotic to me, man.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: I hope you all enjoy it too.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Here it is. The montage of misery, Atlanta Falcon style.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: All right, what a great day.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: But it is in the midst of what is arguably
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: the worst start that we've seen maybe ever for the
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: Falcons outside the quarterback being in jail.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Cooper Rush is the worst football player of all time.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: He's the worst quarterback in the league right now today.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. That's what he is.
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: I don't care what anybody says.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: He's the worst. Let it go. It's over. We are
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: now the Cleveland Browns. The Atlanta Browns. The Cleveland Falcons.
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: That's who we are. We are the trash! We are
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: the Falcons! We are the team that wants to blow
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: our league every damn year! It's a choice that we have!
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: To some point, it's amazing! It's true, the Falcons are
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: going to be trash every single year!
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Don't know what you're whining about.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: We all saw it coming, because we know as soon
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: as Bryce Young lands his play in Atlanta, he turns
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: into Peyton Brady.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: He turns into Tom Manning, Joe Montana, Prime Aaron Rodgers.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: He turns into Super Bowl MVP Bryce Young.
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: We are the trash!
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you something about the Carolina Pebbles.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: That might be our only victory this year.
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: Bryce Young is trash.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: They look like doo-doo.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: It's been seven quarters of straight ass. Look, it's been
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: eight quarters of straight ass, if you want to call it.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I need that booty.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: Boy, if this ain't a super version of Falcon-itis.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: Woo!
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Don't be dumb.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: First of all, you need.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: To go get Cam Newton because that boy you got
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: back there was running for his life and he's trash.
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: I know the circumstances that we've got right now, fellas.
• 14:47
  Speaker 9: I'm not.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: I'm.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: Hoping for rainbows and sprinkles to come out of the
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: poop sandwich that we've got right now. We're just real
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: frustrated with this, man. We always be embarrassed. I mean,
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: the NFL look at us as a joke. I mean,
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: fans of the other teams come in here and they
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: just run the stadium. I mean, we haven't seen a
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: good product since. I can't remember.
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: We are the Tracks! We are the Falcons!
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: You don't know what moment changes a game, but the
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: way Cooper Rush came out, it was like, I'm about
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: to give you all my best. That's what that run was. Like,
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: if it's there, I'm taking it. I'm going to be confident.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: I'm going to throw the ball around the day, and
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: if we lose, we lose.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: That's what it felt like.
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: So if that is overturned and it goes our way,
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: I'm not telling you we win the game, but you
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: don't know what plays change the trajectory of a game.
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: We are the trash! We are the Falcons! Thank you.
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: Hey, yeah, really enjoying the show. Just trying to help
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: figure out how to make heads or tails of this.
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: I know Falcons have owned Panthers in the past. I
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: know we had Michael Vick. And that turned into a
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: terrible situation for a terrible human being. But now the Falcons.
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: It seems like we're getting known by this Bryce Young
• 16:33
  Speaker 9: kid every time.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: I mean, what's the deal?
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: I'm horribly depressed. I mean, it's like our stadium looks
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: like a robot's bum hole anyway, and this guy comes
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: in and just has our way like it's prom night.
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: And I don't know what to do about it. I
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: just can't take it, man. So what am I supposed
• 16:49
  Speaker 9: to do as a Falcons fan?
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Excellent questions by that Falcons fan.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: That was Husky Pants on assignment for the Mac and
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Bone Show calling 6-8 at a fan yesterday morning.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: The only thing he didn't do is I kind.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Of wanted a at the end of it, like you
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: act like you're an angry Falcons fan talking about how
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Bryce owns you.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: That was good.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: The stadium description was interesting. And the host seemed amused
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: by it there. But what I wanted is some sort
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: of big reveal at the end. I don't, who am
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: I kidding?
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I'm a Panther fan. Like I wanted something like that
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: at the end. And he, he just, they, they.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Left the call and they thought they were talking to
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: a fellow upset.
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: They just thought they were talking to one of their
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: own there.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Finney was listening to the six, eight of the fan
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: morning show bone to try to find some clips for
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: the montage, which is getting rave reviews.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: And why would it not? It's the Falcons getting mocked.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: as we own them.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: But Finney said that was the only call they took
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: on the show was Husky Pants, a fake Falcons fan.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Even your boys Mack and Bone, as much as we
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: hogged the airtime, even we took more calls than.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: That, man. You kidding me, baby? Oh, my goodness.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Anyway, good work, Husky Pants. Let's bleep, shall we? Let's bleep.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Let's do it. Let's do it. We'll read a bunch
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: of these. We're getting great text. Mocking the montage of
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: misery content in there.
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: 704-570-9610.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: All right, it's time to laugh a little bit more
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: at random folks. It's time for what the bleep story
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: soundbites that make us say what the bleep.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: All right. What you got there, bone Mac?
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know if this goes more in the heartwarming
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: category or what the bleep, but we like to see
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: good people land on their feet. And that's what's happened
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: to former UNC GM, Michael Lombardi, who announced late last week, Mac,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: that he's starting a sub stack that you can subscribe
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: to and pay again for his football content. This one
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: is called football done right. named after his book that
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: he put out a couple years ago. That's when he
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: came on the air with us. Mac, it's good to
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: see Michael Lombardi land on his feet roughly about six
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: or seven days since he officially left North Carolina.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Who wants to pay for this clown's football knowledge? Seriously,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: he's a laughingstock. Michael Lombardi, take a beat, man. Not
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: that I'm going to subscribe anyway or anyone here is,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: but take a.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Beat, man.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Go away for a while. Go off and let us
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: forget about you for a while. Let everything cool down.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Come back in the offseason and do your thing. Why
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: do you have to come back immediately? We don't even
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: know exactly what happened yet, and you want us to
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: subscribe to your football thoughts? Also, the naming of it,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Football Done Right. So tone deaf. I believe that's false advertising.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Football, it should be with a question mark, right? Football
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Done Right?
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Maybe?
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Football's done right? Oh my gosh. I'm just, I'm over him.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Look, man, you gotta do your thing and whatever, but just,
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: how can we miss you if you don't go away
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: right that'll take a.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Breath use a different title and then uh we might
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: be good man oh god all right um uh that's
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: very what city might subscribe to that just to send
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: him emails that is very what the bleep worthy right
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: there bone all right um gotta get his money's worth
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: out of that typewriter I have to what the bleep
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: bone a situation in a Los Angeles movie theater. And
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know, depending on how you view this, you
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: may what the bleep. You may have to decide who
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: you what the bleep in this situation. There was a
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: man talking on a cell phone in the theater in
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: the middle of a movie. So I can imagine how
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: much that would annoy you if it's right next to
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: you or something. This dude, though, maybe overreacted a slight bit, Bo,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: because a guy got so angry at him, he pepper
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: sprayed this dude right in the eyes in the dark theater.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. And the guy stands up, I've been
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: pepper sprayed.
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: Oh, my God.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: The guy that did the pepper spraying runs out of
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: the theater. Three moviegoers chase this dude down and catch
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: him in another theater trying to hide. He has since
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: been arrested, Bone. But I feel like you got to
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: what the bleep everybody involved here. Because talking on a
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: cell phone in the middle of a movie. is absolutely
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: so disrespectful and annoying but i don't know.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: If it warrants pepper spraying in the eyes.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: First of all it feels like if you're gonna carry
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: that into a movie theater someone's probably getting pepper sprayed
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: and so you you had a plan of attack there
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: and this guy happened to be talking also could you
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: imagine being a loved one that said did it say
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: what the movie was.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know what movie they ruined.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Just imagine someone says, hey, how was the movie? Oh,
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: I didn't see the end. Oh, was it that bad?
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: No.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: The guy in front of me was talking, so I
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: pepper sprayed him. Then I got chased a few theaters down.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Now I'm arrested. I mean, yeah, I'd see it again.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: But the movie was all right, though. That's a boy.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man. See, I knew this was coming.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Our guy turned Ferguson. The guy who did it and
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: got pepper sprayed deserves it.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I knew there'd be people.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: That think that is a fair punishment for that crime.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Matt, can we check in on Fox NFL Sunday and
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: how things are going with our old buddy Terry Bradshaw?
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: He had an exchange with Gronk that sounded an awful
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: lot like, check my notes here, what may happen on
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: the Mac and Bone show on a daily basis. Let's
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: hear Gronk talking tight ends and TB's mistake that he
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: makes during this discussion.
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: And his favorite target is Trey McBride, who, to me,
• 22:16
  Speaker 10: is the best tight end in the NFL right now.
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: You can't argue that.
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: You can't argue that. This is going to be a
• 22:23
  Speaker 10: close game, but Seattle will be in control the whole
• 22:25
  Speaker 10: time and will win.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: What about McBride? That's what he just said. Brilliant mind
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: to brilliant mind. I'm going to argue with you by
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: using your guide.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: I got to tell you about that Bradshaw-Gronk combo. This
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: could happen quite a bit here.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: What the bleep.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I would rip it more, but is that not the
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: type of moment that happens when one of us isn't
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: listening to the other like on the daily?
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: I knew immediately that I'm either often on TV or
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: sometimes on Gronk.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: That 100% would happen here on the show.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: The thing is, the video is funny because TB is
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: so into the discussion.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: He's not zoning out. He's into the discussion.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: Oh, McBride.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: And then he brings on McBride. Who does he think
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: he said? That's the best tight end.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: I've got to what the bleep a situation. As a
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: dad whose son plays video games, Bone, and we have
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: connected when he was younger the credit card to the
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: video game account.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: And he was playing Fortnite and spent too much on
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: different Fortnite skins off our credit card that he needed
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: to talking to. I can relate to this, but not totally. Bone,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: there's a man that lost his job because he was
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: trying to help his son. His son does a... channel,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: like a YouTube gaming channel, where he plays the games
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Minecraft and Roblox and wants people watching it, right? So
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: the kid was upset. He only gets so many streams.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: So his dad says, here we go. We're going to
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: use $ 20 and we're going to do a little advertising campaign.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: I didn't really realize it's something you do, advertising streaming
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: channels on YouTube. And so his dad attached the corporate
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: credit card to to this uh google account and that's
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: how they paid the 20 little starter ad campaign to
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: try to get his son more viewers for his streaming
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: channel well the son kept doing more ads his son
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: spent 118 000 on ads for his gaming channel on
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: the corporate credit card and dad was fired.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: What the bleep.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Are we doing kiddo oh my god how mad would
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: you be.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a tough conversation. How old was the kid
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: you said? I don't know the age.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, nine years. Nine-year-old. I thought like a hundred dollars.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I was pretty pissed at Aiden.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: I could only imagine what you may want to do
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: to your child when they do that.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: Mac, we're going to go to Palmetto Bay, Florida, where
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: we have a Florida story that perfectly describes all Florida stories.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Eduardo Alvarez. This is this month.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: It got 20 million views on TikTok already in the
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: last three weeks. Eduardo Alvarez was hanging out in the
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: back of his house with his dog when a blue
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: crab walked up. And they said, oh, look, there's a
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: crab walking up. The crab was holding a pocket knife.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Somehow the crab in his paw, in his shell, in
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: his hand.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Claw, claw. His claw, yeah, yeah. His claw, his claw.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: In his claw had a pocket knife, and he was
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: wielding it at Eduardo and his dog. Eduardo yelled out, oh,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: my God, it's a gangster-ass crab. He said, the crab's
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: got to shake. As he ran away, the crab was
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: trying to get the dog away with the pocket knife.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Just a small little blue crab?
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: What?
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: What?
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Pictures of it right here. Somebody picked up a pocket knife.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: What the bleep? What kind of scene is that?
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Mac, I would say that's weird, but the crabs in
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Palmetto Bay, Florida, they know what's up.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: You better come armed in Florida. Don't mess with them, man.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Don't mess with them. Florida man's probably messing with them
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: too much. The crabs are now.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: The crabs are now on the attack. By the way,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: you're right. It is a claw, not a paw.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: That's just it. Yes, because my favorite part of eating
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Maryland blue crab, steamed crabs, is the claw. But anyway, yeah,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: that dude deserves to be steamed with some.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Old Bay and eaten. That's what he deserves. Yes, I understand.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: The bleep we do. I understand it's claws. And the
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: moment that I was trying to think on the fly. Look, man,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: it's hard to think and talk at the same time. Yes,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Terry Bradshaw. He'll tell you.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: All right. Was this dude thinking when he was talking?
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Because John Mateer, does he got some meathead in him?
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Is he a meathead type QB? I believe he might be, Bone,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: the way he plays the game. And based on this answer,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: this was him being way too honest, Bone, about how
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: he finally noticed Isaiah Setenga, his wide receiver, wide open
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: downfield for a deep ball. Listen to who helped him realize, Bone,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: that he's open deep.
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: So the middle safety came down to fit the run.
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: We had a run fake, and then I was late
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: to it. I looked left, and I kind of skipped
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: over to the third read, and I kind of heard
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: everybody screaming, and I was like, well, something must be
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: going on. I see Isaiah puts his hand up.
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: I'm serious.
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: Puts his hand up, and I see him.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: You can say you heard screaming from the crowd.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the fans.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: Normally you don't hear it, but sometimes, yeah.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: The crowd starts yelling oh my god he's open and
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: john matier listens to them and says oh yeah he
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: is open oh my god have a feeling that it
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: wasn't a road game have a feeling maybe that's what
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: happened at michigan when he did that terrible interception the
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: crowd must be open oh maybe so you think this
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: week since he listens to the crowd on what read
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: he should go to progression he should throw to maybe
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: georgia fans this week make them think guys are.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Open Yeah, OU is going to be in a world
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: of hurt against Jordan. They're going to get shalama bad.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma's not.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: We talk about every year what team will fall out
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: of the top ten or whatever.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: That team right now is a mess. They're already out
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: of the whole top 25. Yeah, yeah.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: And their offense didn't look good last week against New Mexico.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: They're not going to be ranked when this whole season
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: goes on. You know who else is a fraudy pants,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: and we called it Texas A & M.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Marcel Reed is a mess.
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Mac, we're going to go to one of the leaders
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: in what the bleep stories. That is our friends from
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Lee County, Florida, where this took place, of course, on
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Corkscrew Road last week. where a road rage incident took
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: place where a van cut off a woman. The woman
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: rolled down her window and started yelling at the passengers
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: in the van. And then as Floridians tend to do, Mac,
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: the woman that was yelling got a glass jar of
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: mayonnaise right upside the head. And the woman apparently yelled out,
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: the woman that threw the glass jar said.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I hit her!
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: I hit her!
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: I hit her!
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: Go, go, go, go, go!
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: They took off, but they've now been arrested.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Christine Sweet, 60 years old, was arrested for throwing the mayonnaise.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: She ain't so sweet after all, is she? My God,
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: what the bleep? Although it's Florida, should we be surprised?
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, you never know when a crab may have
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: a pocket knife and a passenger in a van may
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: have a glass jar of mayo.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: I'd love to see.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: I'd love to see the mayo thrower and the gangster
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: crab come together.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Collision course. That'd be a showdown right there.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: We got multiple texts of people. asking if Jameis Winston
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: knows that crap. And that's why that crab now protects himself.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Maybe Jameis was scared by that crab, and that's why
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: he played so terrible last night when Dirk got hurt.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God, man. One last what the bleep pony.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, I did want to mention, did you see the
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: West Virginia fan dousing himself in Duke's mayo? Here in
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Charlotte on Saturday. He calls that Saturday. Yeah, that was
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: the perfect fan base. They finally figured out Duke's Mayo. Oh,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: we need to get those West Virginia fans. That's the
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: guy's first bath in a while. And how about Rich
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Rod and that zone read rush attack with Hawkins and Cook?
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: My God, they out Virginia, Virginia. Anyway, real quick, Bone.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I've got another college football what to believe. I got
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: a what to bleep this. Now, what to bleep being
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: a member of Kirby's smart staff? Eh, probably pretty stupid
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: because that's a pretty damn smart staff. But I've never
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: seen this before in my life, Bone. They were beaten
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: the heck out of Arkansas. My God, they have played.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Even their conference opponent is a stinker so far. But
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: that apparently, Bone, they got so little work during the
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: game in the minds of the D-line coach that the
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: D-line coach would go out on the field and during
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: timeouts and would put the D-line through individual D-line drills.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: During the game, during timeouts, that's when you know you stink, Arkansas,
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: when they want to get in a practice during their
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: downtime while they're playing you.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: What the bleep.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, boy, that's not a good indictment of Arkansas right now,
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: is it? They're bad, man.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Actually, they hung in more than I thought. I thought
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: they might lose by 40. Yeah, that is very true.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: We got a celebrity text, Mac. I like to call
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: this segment Radio Done Right. Sincerely, Michael Lombardi.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: Ha!
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Michael.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: What you will never get is back and bone writing
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: a book called Radio Done Right. You can rest assured.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: By the way, shout out to two people who said
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: they would like to what the bleep Fox for playing
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: the Jets game audio and the Bears game audio during
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: the Panther game.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's an odd red zone feature from Fox now
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: they're trying. It was good to hear Olsen, though, on
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: the broadcast, but he was not on our... That's our way, Matt,
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: to get Olsen on our broadcast. He does any game,
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: but yet we hear Olsen. Do you think that... That
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: was actually an upgrade, wasn't it, than Brando and Millen?
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: I got to tell you, after a while, I kind
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: of got used to it. At one point, though, I
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: got confused because the game where the audio was bled
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: through went to commercial break. So I naturally just went, oh, okay.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Then I realized, oh, the Panthers are still on the TV.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: My mind was like, oh, commercial time.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: The only thing that us and Falcon fans are on
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: the same page about it when I was listening to
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Atlanta Radio yesterday is they also were ripping Fox.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: For that moment. Falcons fans want the actual video off there.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: They were cool with the audio. When we come back,
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: Dave Canales says he wants to keep Coker on punt
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: return duty, but is that a good idea?
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Bad idea? We discuss Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, we should. You know, he made positive yards.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: He caught the ball well. That's what I cared about.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Save all the yards that are there. Make sure we
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: get this ball fielded. And then we saw what we
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: could do with the ball. You know, and he's been
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: doing that more and more as a receiver as well,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: which I've seen with guys. The more they understand the
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: schemes and the concepts, like what we talked about with
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: the turnovers, the more you're ready in the play and
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: you have that confidence to speed a play, then it
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: takes you to the play after. Once I have the ball,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about how I'm going to make this guy miss.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I have my free hand ready for a stiff arm,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: different things like that as his game continues to grow.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: But speaking of the return thing, I mean, we definitely
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: going to have to have him back there, you know,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: until we figure out if we find another option. And
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: also a part of it, too, is just, you know,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: he's dealing with an ankle. So we want to be
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: smart with that. But at the end of the day,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: like you only get one game at a time. Let's
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: go win this one and then we'll we'll deal with
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: that part afterwards.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: That's Coach Kanellis intends to keep for now. Jalen Coker
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: returning punts. I feel like that is either really exciting
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: or that is a little bit scary, or maybe both
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: if you're a Panther fan. I was very curious to
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: hear that question asked and him answer it, Bone. And
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: we got to talk through that a little bit here.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: I do want to shout out our guy King McQueen
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: on the text line. And his son, his son, and
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: he sent me the picture of the screenshot from the
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: TV broadcast on an extra point or field goal, one
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: or the other behind the goalposts. His son was sitting
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: behind little John or no, let me get a strike here.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Little John. And T.I.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, how about the Panthers Falcons game and was talking
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Panther Falcons trash to them and had no idea who
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: they were until dad saw until dad informed him of
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: who he was talking trash to. Those guys are rappers
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: from the early 2000s. So anyway, apparently they were cool.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: to little King McQueen Jr.
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: There.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Apparently they were cool about it. Matt T.I.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Is part of our show war when one of us
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: got mixed up, him and 50 Cent a few weeks back.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: I can't believe your bone. That was your genre, baby.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: That was your wheelhouse. It was your era bone.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: I know. Hip-hop bone, baby.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: If you were sitting behind little John Mack and you
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: were trash-talking, what would you say all game?
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I'd say, is your team trash?
• 35:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah!
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah!
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Are we going to kick your ass? Okay. I would
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: definitely go Chappelle's skit on him.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: Every time a Falcon quarterback dropped back to pass, I'd say, what?
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: What?
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, that was a great, one of many great Chappelle
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: skits back in the day. All right, so let's focus
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: on this Coker thing now that we enjoyed that moment.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: So you said yesterday, before Dave was even given a
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: chance to be asked about it, even though Coker... had
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: the two returns for 49 yards total. You said you
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: don't want it to continue. So how do you feel
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: about it now that Dave's like, man, we got to
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: do everything we can to win a game.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: And did you see him out there? Like, what do
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: you think?
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: A good one that in select moments, maybe a crunch
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: time moment where you need someone that you feel the
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: most comfort with not to drop it, not even necessarily
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: make a play, but just... secure the football. I'm okay
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: with those moments there, but full time, I just, I
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: don't want to risk the value. I don't want to risk.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: He's too valuable right now to the receiving group. If
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: he was like your third or fourth option, an emerging guy,
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: no doubt. But Coker to me right now is on
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: par with TMAC of importance to this offense. I don't
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: know if, If you have a lead, I don't know, man.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, I guess if it's a huge moment in
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: the game, it's fine, but I would be very selective.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: If you're up by like 14 in the game, I'll
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: probably not put... Do you have a lead? Unless it's
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: a crunch time moment, I'm not putting him back there.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: I feel like I might be able to give Canales
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: this one. How about we do it for two more games?
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: As Heat fans pointing out, he's trustworthy. Another texter says
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: he's the best one to catch the ball back there.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's the catching part. It's the fact
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: that he's good at this returning thing, but you just
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: don't see someone that is like if he's not your
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: number one receiver, he's one a like it's so close now,
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: but it's not even like a legit, like number two,
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: like it's one or one a. And we just said,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: we had, didn't we have a texture last, like a
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: couple of segments ago? It's like, oh my God, we can't,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: we lose one of those two guys. Our offense, like
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: he's so important to the team. I'm a little uneasy
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: with it. I would kind of meet like, not that
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Dave Canales needs me to compromise with him. He doesn't
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: need to consult me on these things, believe it or not.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: But like my pitch, if I was on the staff
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: would be, okay, you want to do this? I get it.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: It looked really good. Plus, you know he's going to
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: catch the damn thing, which others aren't. Or we can't
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: trust others, too. How about we get to the bye week,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: and if HN can come back, we go back to
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: HN at that point. Because, like, I'm kind of with you.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: I feel like you are tempting fate, Bone, if you
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: have him back there. That punt return is such a
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: quick play where guys are flying down there at you.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: I remember Jason Sehorne being used on returns and getting injured,
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: and he was the number one corner. I just, I
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: don't know. I'm kind of with you. I'm kind of
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: paranoid about it. So maybe two games and HN, if
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: he could come back.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Because Smitty did it at select times, right? Even later
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: on in his Panther tenure, right?
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Very select. Very select. But Smitty was like Mr. Explosive, right?
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: So when they hit a big ball, Deshaun Jackson was
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: used in that way, right? Yeah.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: Like when they need, they actually, they actually needed like
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: yardage off the punt return.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I don't know.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: I don't, I think I might, this texter says, you
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: said yourself, HN's not a good return, man.
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: He's kind of just all right. I don't know.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of with Bo. Now we got another texter
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: to disagree. This one texter says, don't worry. The defense
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: won't stop anybody again. We got a 704. It won't be,
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: we won't have another punt return. 704 number says you
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: guys are the fun police. We finally find a legit
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: guy returning punts that can flip field position. We dominated
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: field position on Sunday, and that was a big.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Part of why.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we were plus 20 in field position. Our starting
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: field position was a 43. Theirs was a 23. So
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: that was kind of huge. But I just, I don't
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: think it's a matter of fun, please. Like, how much
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: fun is it, Bone, if Jalen Coker's out for a while?
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: I think it's just conventional wisdom. Matter of fact, I
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: would ask the question, is there anybody in football now
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: that is that big of a part of his side
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: of the ball and is the every punt return guy.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine it's still done. I feel like in yesteryear,
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: maybe it was done.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: A little bit.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: More.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: The old days. Great point by a texter. Shouldn't Mr. Reliable, Matt,
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: just go back there and do it for a few weeks?
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: David Moore?
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's... I mean, it's one of his things. Like,
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, who could Alice trust back in life more
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: than David Moore?
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: I'd put Mechie. I mean, if you're not going to do... Well,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: he's going to do Coker. So, anyway, he's... I'm sorry?
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: He's going to do Coker at punt returners.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: What the heck I'm trying to say.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: We all of a sudden ended up in Miami in
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: the 1980s.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: I was kind of interested to see Mechie. He was
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: good in that. It's funny because he was good in
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: the preseason at that. I think it comes down to
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Coker will catch the ball. But then I think it's like,
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: oh man, not only will Coker catch the ball, but
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: he'll actually run it back a bit too. So I
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: almost feel like Dave, because Dave said after the game,
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: I told him, I don't care if you're fair catching.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Matter of fact, David Moore on the sidelines was telling him,
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: fair catch, a good play. Don't feel bad about it. So, like,
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: I feel like they just wanted him out there to
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: catch the ball, and they've kind of stumbled into this.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Like, oh, he's good at it.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: What about A.J. Dillon back there, Matt? Just has a
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: locomotive that no one wants to tackle on special teams.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Catch these thighs? Catch these quads, baby.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: Just dragging players 20 yards down the field.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: And he's going to do Coker. Yeah, I kind of
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: said that. That sounded weird on a lot of levels, man.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: That's your first mistake, though, since two seconds into the
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: show today. You got on a run here.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: I was streaking. I was doing well, man.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: In case you guys missed it, check out the podcast
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: later on today. Mac messed up the intro to the
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: show today.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: It's like botching the opening day in kickoff, man. That's
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: what I do. That's what I do. Not once, but twice.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: But anyway, we all mess up. We come back.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: A man who actually, check my notes here, hasn't actually
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: messed up at his job since 1984.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: J.J.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: Jansen, the captain, joins us for Snapchat. We'll talk about
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: the return situation and much more on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
