  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ, Mack and Bone with you. We
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: are live from the Harris Cherokee Casino Resort Studios in
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: lovely Uptown Charlotte.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: We're getting ready to talk heels. You can hear the music.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Also want to tell you, keep pumping in your text
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: on the affordable siding and windows hometown improvement text line.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: You guys are getting after it today. Spicy text, funny text,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: snarky text. Keep them all coming, 704-570-9610. Y'all make the
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: show go round. We do appreciate you right now. Another
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: guy we appreciate, Bone, for hanging with us weekly. We
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: get to do a little combination football-basketball conversation right now.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: because the Tar Heels have an exhibition on the hoop
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: side tomorrow in Greensboro against USC. And, of course, we've
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: been talking about it, a game where we think, bone,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: they might be able to pull off an upset against
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh on Saturday in football. Let's talk about it all
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: with the play-by-play voice of the Heels on the Tar
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Heel Radio Network, Jones Angel.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Jones, what's going on, man? How you feeling this week?
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: About to get busy for you, huh?
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: It's a busy stretch upcoming for sure, guys. Great to
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: be with you as always. And I think this starts
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: eight straight weeks with both teams competing for Carolina. So
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: it'll be a busy stretch and heels in USC, as
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: you mentioned, seven o'clock tomorrow, we'll be on the air
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: at six for that one from Greensboro and then jumping
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: up to Pittsburgh for, for what is a big game. Yeah.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: I think this is an opportunity for Carolina to, to
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: pick up a big win, not just in the league,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: but against a good team on the road. And if
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: you play, if you're the Tar Heels in this conversation,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: if you play like you did for three quarters of
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: the Clemson game and for this Notre Dame game, you're
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: going to put yourself in a position to have a
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: chance to win. But all of that remains to be seen.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: But a busy weekend upcoming, looking forward to a ton
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: of Tar Heels for sure.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Are you doing both games, Jones? Are you doing the
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Friday night exhibition and then going to Pitt after that?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: So I'll be in Greensboro tomorrow night. We've got, of course,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Tyler Hansborough and Tyler Zeller, our two Tylers, are splitting
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: the duties again this year as far as the analyst.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: And so Hansborough will be with me tomorrow night in Greensboro.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Going to jump up to Pittsburgh after that and be
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: there with the Tar Heels on Saturday morning. So, quick turnaround,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: but should be a lot of fun.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Jones, why don't you do some work once in a while, right?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Stay busy.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: We'll see if we can knock it out this weekend.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: I tricked them into paying me to talk about football
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: and basketball.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: We've done that, too.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: It's beautiful.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: How do you categorize the result against Notre Dame? Because
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: we have some fans that are saying the fight, they fought,
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: they hung well. Other fans are saying the score wasn't
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: that close by the end. What's your view of how
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: to look at that game and the end result?
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: It's a great question because I think ultimately– well, two things.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I think ultimately– you can take away from that game
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: whatever you want to from the Tar Heels, in my mind.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Like if you went in thinking this is a team
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: that's getting better and that's fighting and it's not there yet,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: but you can see it, you can walk away with that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: And if you walked into that game going, man, the
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Tar Heels, I don't understand why they can't compete with
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame, and they should be on that level, then
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: you can see that too. For me, I think it
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: was a game– and we talked about this last week–
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame is fully formed. This is a team that
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: has a really high level of talent.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: They're deep.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: They have a bunch of veterans. They're just really good.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: They're a playoff team. They're a championship-level team right now.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Carolina is not right now. But what the Tar Heels
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: are doing, in my opinion, are getting better. And you
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: can see it now. And that was the thing last year, guys.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Y'all know this.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: It wasn't just a bad record. It was that it
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: looked so bad. But now you can see it for Carolina.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: You can see what the goal is, and you can
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: see that they're making some progress. It is not finished.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: They need more talent in areas. They need more depth
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: in certain areas. But you can see what they're trying
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: to do now. And so for Carolina– You've got to understand,
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: can you keep taking steps? You're not going to magically
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: become Notre Dame this week against Pittsburgh. You're not going
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: to magically become Notre Dame next week against Duke. But
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: what you can do is keep taking steps to get–
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: farther along in that process.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: That's where the heels are.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: There's definitely progress being made. There's no doubt about it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I like them getting Easter involved in the receiving game.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Sadler a bit. I want to see more of that.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: So let's talk about the Pitt game. Because I'm kind
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: of on the side, Jones, where I thought that was
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: pretty solid effort against Notre Dame.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I kind of thought they can build off that.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: And now they get a Pitt team that had the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: emotional win against in Blacksburg, but also is starting a quarterback,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: a backup for the first time. What are the keys
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: for Carolina to come out of Pitt with a big upset?
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Well, there's one that's kind of always the key against Pitt,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: and that, of course, is being able to handle their
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: defensive pressure, right? Like, I mean, Pat Narduzzi's been the
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: same ever since he's been there, and before that as
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: the defensive coordinator, where he is going to try and
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: pressure you into mistakes. And so can you handle that
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: pressure up front? Can you handle the physicality in the secondary?
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: They're going to grab you. They're going to hold you.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: They'll get some flags, but not every time is it
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: going to be flagged. And so you've got to be
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: able to not lose your cool and manage that as well.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: If you're a receiver, if you are Jordan Shipp or
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Shamar East or whoever, you've got to be able to
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: manage that. So that's number one. Then you flip it
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: to the other side. And that's where Holden Gerner comes in,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: their new quarterback. And you hate it for Mason Heinschel,
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: of course, terrific player. You never like to see anybody
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: get hurt and a big blow for Pitt. So how
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: does Gerner, though, who's a veteran guy, highly recruited out
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: of high school, but just it's never really taken hold
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: at the college level. How does he react and how
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: can Carolina try to make him uncomfortable? We saw this
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: against Clemson. Carolina did a good job against Tate Reynolds
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: for a while, but then all of a sudden he
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: got in a rhythm and he was effective for the
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Tigers a few weeks ago. Can Carolina make Garner uncomfortable
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: and force him into mistakes? A big point of this game,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: in my opinion.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Jones, how impressed have you been with Jelani Thurman at
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: tight end? This guy has turned into an absolute wagon,
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: as the youth people say.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Legit. Here's the thing, though, guys. Ship and Thurman, we
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: know what they are, right? They're ACC-level guys, and we've
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: seen that. The two of them have 36 receptions between
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: the two of them. Ship has 20, and Thurman has 16.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: The rest of the team, the rest of Carolina's team
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: has 28. And then you look at the targets, and
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: it's about 50-50. Thurman and Shipp have 55. The rest
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: of the team has 57. So it's clear that, A,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Carolina trusts throwing the ball to those two players, and then, B,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: it's clear why, because they're producing. You've got to have
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: somebody else produce. They've got to find, whether it's Shamar Easter,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: who Mac mentioned earlier, or C.J. Sadler, or shoot, Jaden Jefferson,
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: who took that second-half kickoff to the house. You know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: he's got great speed. Can you find a way to
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: get him involved? Carolina's just got to find some other guys.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Not that Shipp and Thurman aren't good. They're very good.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: But at some point, you've got to have some other
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: guys available to help you be successful.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Let's talk hoops real quick before we let you go.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: You are doing that exhibition tomorrow against USC. Heels fans
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: are going to get a first look at this team. Jones,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: you will definitely need all your notes on all the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: new players and where they're coming from. We talked to
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Coach Malone yesterday. I'm just extremely impressed. He doesn't need
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: me to say I'm impressed. I mean, look at his
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: coaching resume today. And I'm very intrigued to see this mix.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I think like for being up against it, right. With timing,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: when he got the job, I think it was a
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: really good effort to put the roster together. What, what
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: are some, who are the guys that you're most intrigued by?
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: What are some of the things you're most intrigued to
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: watch for tomorrow night?
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you. I mean, not just the
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: fact that Coach Malone was hired the day the transfer
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: portal opened, but the fact that, you know, all of
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: a sudden people start showing them some guys in the
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: transfer portal and he doesn't know who these guys are.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, he was not anticipating coming into college basketball.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: So to be able to put the kind of staff
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: together that he has, which I think is really impressive,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: and then just get this roster formed, it's not perfect yet.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: But I think it's pretty darn talented for when you
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: consider kind of, as you said, that he was up
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: against it a little bit this particular year. I'm really
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: excited to see Terrence Brown, the guard from transfer from Utah.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Terrence can really score. The question is going to be,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: can he kind of manage the game a little bit
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: as well? He averaged two and a half turnovers a
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: game last year at Utah. He can't do that at Carolina.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: But he also can put the ball in the bucket, dude.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, he has 1,300 points in the last two seasons.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: So he can score. Matt Abel, who was kind of
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: the sixth man for NC State last year, he's going
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: to take an elevated role. How does he manage going
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: from 18 minutes or so to 32 minutes or whatever
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: it is? Neil Avdolos has as much potential as anybody
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: in the ACC. You saw flashes of it last year
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: at Virginia Tech. Can he become a more consistent player
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: where he's not having to put up 33 points every
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: game like he did against Providence last year for the Hokies,
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: but can he be a 16-point-a-game kind of guy, something
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: like that? I think all that's worth watching. And the
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: big question is in the post. Cameron Fins will not
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: be available for this game for Carolina, still working.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Out the eligibility.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: For that extra year if he is or isn't available,
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: changes the feel for Carolina this season. But I'll tell
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: you guys this. Remember the name, Sion Keita. He's very young.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: He hasn't been playing basketball that long, but he is
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: incredibly talented. And I will be interested to see where
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: this young man who's been playing professionally in Spain as
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: a teenager, how does he, by January or something, what
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: does he look like? Because I think he can be
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: an incredibly productive player for Carolina.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: You know, Jones, I had a little bit of a
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: run-in yesterday with Jared Stevenson during media days.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Jared Stevenson was like the nicest guy in there.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: He probably apologized if you guys.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: No, Jones, you'll never believe how I was treated by
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: him yesterday. All I simply said was, Jared, as a
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: Duke fan, and I was going to ask him a question,
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: that guy couldn't stop laughing.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: He was laughing.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, he kept laughing at me being a dude. I
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: couldn't even ask my question. I've never been treated like
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: this in my life, Jones, by Jared. I thought he
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: was a nice guy. Mac, how long did it take
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: me to get Jared to stop laughing? About 45 seconds? Yeah,
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: maybe a minute.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: All I simply said was, as a Duke fan, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: this guy was going crazy. He was very nice about it, though.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: He was a very happy guest on the show.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: He did say sorry by the end.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: He was amused. He was amused by that. All right, Jones,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: have a good fun. Make some fun out of this
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: busy weekend. I know Tar Heel fans be listening. They
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: can listen on the Tar Heel Radio Network, which includes WBT,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: right down the hall.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Jones. Appreciate you.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Thanks, guys. Talk to you soon.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: There you go. Thank you, Jones. That is Jones Angel.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, tune in to the Tar Heel Radio Network, Bone,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: on the station whose morning host I accused of stealing
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: our remote control earlier this morning.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: And it turns out, false accusation. Well, actually, we don't
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: know still, but we got a new remote, though.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I have to apologize to Beth Troutman for the second
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: time now, Bone, in a handful of months. The last
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: time is when I took a shot at her baked goods.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: And I had to humbly hat in hand, apologize because
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: she is the sweetest coworker.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: And now apparently I need to do it again.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Bone man.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: What happened to you at the atmosphere? I asked you
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: about at the Keenan the other day, came across on TV,
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: like during that kick return. Like it was plenty of
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: pretty electric. What was going on though? You were annoyed
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: by the Notre Dame fan behind you.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: Well, that's why there was a really good atmosphere because
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: there was a lot of green and gold inside.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're not taking credit. You're not giving Tar Heel
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: nation the credit for that. Look, they showed up.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: And then the rain came and most of, most of
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: the Carolina faithful left me and flounder did not. I
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: stood there in the rain, like a football guy and
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: watched my team lose and But, Bone, we had this
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: dude behind us. And, look, he was a little bit inebriated,
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: as you would expect an Irishman to be. But every
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: time they'd snap the ball, got time, got time. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: it's like, hey, no, no crap. You just snapped the ball.
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: Maybe wait two, three seconds before you yell at your quarterback,
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: you've got time to make the right read, make the
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: right throw. Then this guy wanted to get snappy at
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: Jelani Thurman. After he scored a touchdown, shoot.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: A state at Ohio State, pal. I didn't like that
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: too much. It's a white quarterback. Yeah, he should have
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: because he actually won a national championship there.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I've been telling you, Fitty, for years, obnoxious as all
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: get out those Golden Domers, man. I'm glad you could
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: have a firsthand run in. Now, how did y'all get
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: to the game?
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: By vehicle? Well, touche, sir.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Touche.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: I like that one.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: No, when we last left you on Friday, Smoke Ludwig,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the Notre Dame fan, had won the tickets in the
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: station giveaway that Fitty and Flounder, the UNC fans, thought
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: for sure, Bone, they were going to win. So how
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: did you, how did that, did y'all snatch the tickets
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: from Smoke?
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Did Smoke take the remote to Chapel Hill? He did not.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: What happened there? Did Smoke get to go or no?
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: Colin thought that me and Flounder had season tickets. So Colin,
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: the good boss that he is, put Smoke's name in
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: the hopper to get him tickets to go to see
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: Notre Dame play.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Smoke didn't even know his name was in the hopper.
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: So when we got the email, he won the tickets.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: He's like, I didn't put my name in the opera.
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: And so when we kind of figured out what was
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: going on, he politely just gave us the tickets.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Didn't want to go to a noon game. Oh, okay.
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: Didn't want to make the trip up on such short notice.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I thought y'all snatched him from him. If he didn't
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: want to go, that's cool. But I thought you snatched.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to be, you notice how nice I'm trying
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: to be to smoke now after I screamed at him
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: in the six o'clock hour boat?
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: I know she never come back and kiss my ass
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: after you.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Yelled at me.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: The remote is still missing. We just have a backup
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: now that came in here. We're good now. The remote situation, though,
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: it is still gone. Someone has lost the remote. We're
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: just straighter off now. So it's still a mystery of
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: where it went. That's true. Smoke's got to work on
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: remote security. There's ball security on the field. In our studio,
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: it's remote control security. Don't lose this one, Smokey. When
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: we come back, Jake DeLome talks about what has made
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: Bryce so much better this year and his thoughts on
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: the team as we're in the bye week.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. I might have thought we were
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: about to end the show, but you know what? Who
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: wants to end the show when we can talk to
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: one of the greatest Carolina Panthers and one of the
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: all-around good guys in Carolina Panther history, Bo?
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you thought it was 945 and the show was ending.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: Then you got me all confused.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: What did I think happened to our interview with Jake DeLome?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I'm losing it, y'all. Losing it.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: We're becoming Stadler and Waldorf on the Muppets is what
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: we're doing here. Just two old guys just forgetting stuff.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Let's do it, man. Let's talk to Jake Delome. I'm
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: very happy that we have this segment, Bone. It is
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: not the end of the show. Let's talk to Jake Delome,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Panthers legend, Panther Radio Network. The QB is playing damn good,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: and I would love to hear Jake's thoughts on it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: And Jake is with us here on the Mac and
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Bone Show. Jake, what's going on, man?
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: How you doing?
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I'm doing great, man. I think I'm like everyone else.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Still living the high from Sunday night and knowing that
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: we have a bye, even though it's early, that's okay.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: But kind of like what we've seen, especially from our quarterback,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: my buddy.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Jake, how great is it, though, when you have the
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: player perspective and you have the broadcasting perspective now, but
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: to go into the bye on a high, that's.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: A huge deal, right?
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: It always is.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: It's just that, I don't know, it's just that sense
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: of you never want to go on that bad taste
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: because you have to wait so long to be able
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: to play again. But going in and how the atmosphere
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: was Sunday night, the environment, down two starting corners, we're
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: missing the starting offensive lineman. We got some guys kind
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: of nicked during the game. And the way we did it,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I thought, was fantastic. I don't know. The crowd affected
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Detroit's offense, I thought. I thought T-Mac showed exactly what
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: he is. I think Bryce is continuing to show how
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: he's playing. And just defensively, the Devin Lloyd addition, it's
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: been remarkable, to be very honest. And Derrick Brown, you
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: can look at the stat sheet all you want, but
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I think he affects the game so much more than
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: a stat sheet.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: But it's just good to go off of.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: A win like that, try to get some guys back.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: We'll see how that plays out. And then hopefully Philadelphia
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: can kind of keep that the turmoil, I guess you
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: could say that always seems to surround them. And then
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: they're playing in London against a very good Jaguars team. So,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you know, keep that momentum going and see what we
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: can do after.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: I know, man, I know I'm ready, but this bye
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: week did come at a good time. All right.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: So Jake, you're sitting there, you're, you're commentating on these
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: games and you're watching Bryce young play at such an
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: amazing level and doing it while being the most pressured
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: quarterback in the league, which is amazing to me. What
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: are you noticing from Bryce? Uh, that maybe is he's
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: improved at, or maybe you're seeing different things that are
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: different than, you know, the past years.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: I think it's just, well, excuse me, ownership of the offense.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing. I just, there's complete
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: ownership and it's, he's never too high. He's never too low.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: And you watch, I'm a big believer in watching the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: quarterback's eyes. And it's never like this panic, this frightened
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: looked in his eyes and we have all these field
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: mics and we can hear the the check that he
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: makes at the line of scrimmage. There's never, it's never frantic.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: It's never rushed. It's like, no, no, no, we're good.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: We're good.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: We're good.
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: No, go here, go here.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: It's, it's constantly constant communication. There's never panic. It's never frantic.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: And he's just kind of just in total control. And yes,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: he's getting pressured a lot, but he's just dealing the football.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing to me that I'm so
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: impressed with, he's so compact. And what I mean by that,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: when he catches the snap, it's like, he catches it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: He's compact and the ball's out immediately. And some of
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: those RPO games are, I don't even know if it
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: was RPO. I think it was P R O. It
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: might've been fast read option first, you know, he would
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: take it and T Mac. It just, he would just
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: settle right away. He just knew, okay, let me just
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: peek and look and boom, the ball's on him. But
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: even like over the middle, some of the, the, the
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: crossing routes, we had a big third down on the
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: game and Anish had said, okay, what are we thinking here?
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I said, well, we're thinking two people, number four and
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: number 88. And he hit Waller coming across the middle,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: but it's just the accuracy of the passes. He threw
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: one to Tremaine coming left to right. Tremaine split out
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: on the left and coming in on the in route
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and he layered the throw and he stuck it on him.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: And that's the biggest thing. You want to be a passer,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: not a thrower of the football. A thrower is someone
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: who just kind of throws it and hope they catch it.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: A passer, he kind of talks to the player with
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the football and I think he's doing that. But it's
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: just ownership. I, that's what I just go back to.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: The receivers are kind of getting.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: On his level.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: And what I mean by that, we got rid of
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: his security blanket. I always say it, Adam ceiling after
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the 24 season, it was during the super bowl in
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: new Orleans. We were there, when I say we, the
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Panthers or Jonathan Stewart and I, we.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: Did shows weekly.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: We were hoping both Steve and Luke would maybe get
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, right?
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: And so we did a ton of interviews. Well, Bryce
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: came to sit down with us one day. And I
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: just noticed a different person. There was a confidence because
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: he finished 24 playing pretty well. And I just kind
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: of asked him off air about, hey, with feeling like,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: were you just going to throw to him?
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: Like, what was the deal?
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: He goes, man, he goes, I just had that trust
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: with him and I just knew. And that just kind
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: of tells me it takes time for a quarterback to
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: trust some receivers.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And so you saw the coker situation. play out before
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: our eyes last year. There's a trust factor there. And
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: TMAC was making really good plays, but I think TMAC
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: even knew I can make so many more because you
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: saw it last year, physically guys would really try to
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: get in his chest and things like that. When he
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: said so much of a bigger player this year, thickness
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: wise and strength wise, and the game's slowing down to
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: me and it's going to continue to slow down, but
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: those two are starting to kind of get on a
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: page and it takes time, man. It just, I keep
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: saying that to people, I think we grew together because
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: we were both my first year in Carolina was year
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: three for him. But initially in essence, his first year
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: starting as a receiver, but we, we grew together. We
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: just like, for whatever reason we clicked, we just, we
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: learned each other's body language and things like that. And
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: then the next year, Steve gets hurt. We've won. And so, yeah,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: certainly Moose was good, but you start to develop a
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: different rapport with Moose, knowing exactly, okay, hey, Jake, I
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: really like this. Hey, if I have this, make sure
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: you throw it here. I just think that takes time.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: And you're starting to see Bryce kind of get that
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: development with his young receivers.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: Jake, we had a quarterback question from a texter early
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: in the show, Panther Cliff, and we said we'd ask
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: you about it because it's more about something that we
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: couldn't answer about padding.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: I'll give Jake the advantage on quarterback knowledge. Slight advantage.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: He noticed or asked, is he padding the ball less,
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: and how much does that make a difference when Bryce
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: has the ball.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Before he throws?
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the padding of the ball thing, I think certain
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks have certain ticks that they do. Joe Montana padded
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: it every time he threw. Yeah, some guys kind of
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: do that. I think Bryce is doing a great job,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: and I'll go back to the Atlanta game. He maneuvered
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the defense with his shoulders. And what I mean by that,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: we have some play action faking. I don't know if
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: you remember the Atlanta game. We hit some deep corner outs,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: like wide open. And the corner would kind of– he'd
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: come up and there was this huge void. Well, Bryce
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: was manipulating the defense with his shoulders.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: He'd fake.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: He'd get his head around. And he'd kind of like
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: give that shoulder kind of turn thinking– and the DB's
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: reading that. They're going off first movement. And they're going
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to drive that he's– okay, I'm going to the flat
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: with the football. And Bryce would just kind of maneuver
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: that way. And that's just starting to get that quarterback
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: play where you can kind of control– or somewhat control
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: what the defense is doing. It doesn't happen every week, obviously,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: but you just, I just think it's a rhythm, but
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: he does such a great job. Even when he's stepping
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: up in the pocket about the two hands on the
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: ball and he hasn't run a ton this year. Um,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: As we've seen before, he's such a really good runner,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't take these massive hits. Certain people know
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: how to just not get hit, and he knows how
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: to kind of just slide off. And when he steps
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: up in the pocket, the eyes are downfield. They're not, okay,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: it's running. Let me just see what I can get.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: The eyes are downfield, and the ball comes out immediately
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: most of the time. So, listen, just love the overall play,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: but how old is Bryce?
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: I should have known this.
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: 25.
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: Okay, so he just turned 25.
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: He's still, like someone I heard this week, the narrative about, man,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: it's like his arm's gotten stronger.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: It's supposed to get stronger.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: He's 25. It wasn't like he's this big, mature kid.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I told someone the other day, I weighed 195 pounds
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: as a senior in college. Within two years, I was
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: up to 228 pounds. It wasn't due to the lifting
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: and things like that. It was, I shaved more than
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: once every two weeks. I started to grow up. Like
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: you just, you grow up. And I think he's, and
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know what his weight is. Certainly he's never
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: going to be a big person, but he's getting stronger.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Your body's getting stronger. That throw he made the TMAC
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: on the sideline with about three minutes left or two
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and a half.
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: That's just different.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just, to step up in the pocket,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: like he did really outside the pocket and to throw
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: it in that location and that catch. But I just
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: think that's time. It comes with time.
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: No doubt. No doubt.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: And then we all want to rush these guys, especially
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: when they're number one, overall picks, you know, we're.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: I get it.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I understand it, but like, don't you think what the
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Raiders are doing this year? I like, I don't know
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen with Mendoza down the line, but
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: is that not the perfect situation? I mean, just think
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: of John Kitten in Cincinnati, Carson Palmer, who was, if
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: you want to draw up what a quarterback should look like,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: it's Carson Palmer. Well, he sat the whole year. You
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: think of Patrick Mahomes and Patrick would say the same thing.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I would made me great was watching Alex Smith. I
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: learned how to prepare. So when it was my time,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I took over. And I understand I heard Peyton say
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: it many times. Peyton was like, no, I need it
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: to play.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: And maybe so.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: But I just think given some guys' time, sometimes it
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: takes a little bit.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense. Jake DeLome hanging out with us.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: We're talking obviously a lot about Bryce because this is
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Jake's area of expertise. I want to ask you about
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Brad Idzik because I certainly see that Bryce is getting
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: the ball downfield more. I mean, number one in deep completions. His,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: his intermediate passing. I mean, he's hitting, he's doubling more
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: than doubling Jake, the amount of completions per game from
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: 10 yards on.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Do you think that's Brett? Is Brad Idzik stressing that?
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Is that something that Idzik, Canales and Beville got together
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: on during the, like, is this intentional or is that
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: just the growth of Bryce?
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: He's more comfortable letting it rip downfield.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I think it all factors in. I think Dave, he
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: has talked about that last year, but I'll go back
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: to this. I think it's smart enough that Dave knew.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: He talks about it. Brad and Coach Goodwin and Dave,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: they developed this offense, right? So they were at the
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: beginning when they were constructing, you know, they were getting
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the foundation of this offense.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: That they run.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Well, it got to a point where, you know what,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Brad needs to take over. I got to be more
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: of the head coach. And just think about it. If
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: you're the head coach and you're constantly trying to think
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: and call, and then the trainer comes tap you on
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the shoulder. Hey, so-and-so's down. Hey, so-and-so's questionable. Hey, what
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: are you thinking here? You know, special teams coach Dave,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: what you want to do here? What yard line you
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: want to kick? Like, can you totally concentrate? And I
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: understand a lot of guys can do it, but for
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: me personally, how smart of it he would like, let, let,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: let Brad call it. He's with Bryce all the time.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I'm in there a lot, but then I have to
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: go do injury meetings and I have to go do
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: a personnel meeting and I have a coach's show. And
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I have like, I'm telling you guys, that's a lot.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: And just, I just think the comfort level that Bryce has, um,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: With Izzik, you're seeing it, right? I think you saw
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: it in the preseason. Everything built off everything else in
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the preseason. We ran a good play, like a stretch
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: to the right, a nice run. We came with the
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: boot back the other way.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: Things like that.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: It was just kind of, we tried to build off
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: of it each and every play. That's a credit to
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Canales for seeing it, but a credit to the players
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: for performing those plays, but Izzik for also calling it.
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: Jake, we were going down memory lane the other day
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: because TMAC was nine yards shy of tying Smitty for
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: the single game Panther receiving record the other day. Smitty
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: had 209 in the Fred Smoot rowboat game.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Against the Viking.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I couldn't remember what game they talked about it the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: other night. And I meant to go back and I couldn't,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I couldn't remember what he had in the playoff game
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: against Chicago. I knew it was a good amount, but yes,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I figured it was the, the, both the row, both.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: The bears was the post-season record, but single season was
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: all right. Regular season was 201. Jake, do you have
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: either a favorite Smitty celebration that he did, or do
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: you have a favorite memory of what he just got
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: in some guy's head that he completely wrecked that guy's day?
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Like either one of those.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: Hey, Listen, you hit it.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: It's a Minnesota when he was rowing the boat, like
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: he made a couple of slow movements. He looked back
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he started going fast. That
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: to me, I still see that replay and I die
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: laughing because it was so fitting and people, as time
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: goes on, you forget about what exactly happened.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: It was right after that Love Boat scandal.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, the Love Boat scandal. That's exactly right. And then
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Culpepper blew his ACL out during the game, and it
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: was just– that team just– they just melted. And Smitty–
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: And that celebration.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: To me was just one that– only Smitty.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Only Smitty.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: He's one– I was going to say, one of one, dude.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: I don't need to tell you. I mean, damn. You
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: gave up 201 and got rowboated. I mean, that's crazy.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: That's beautiful.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Jake, I want you– before we let you go, I
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: want you to know that you are having influence over me.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: I'm starting to think like you. After the TMAC– He
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to hear that. I'm becoming a Jake disciple, baby.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: After the TMAC– Two-catch game where he ran into Denzel
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Ward a lot, and I kind of thought, man, they
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: should have moved him into Slotmore to get him away
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: from Ward and all this stuff. But I conjured up
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: your Dan Henning theory on Smitty. Feed the stud, right?
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: And I said last week, I have a feeling it'll
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: be a feed the stud game with TMAC.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize it'd be 14 for 192.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: So we do keys to the game before we do
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: the radio, right? I always either do offense and Luke
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: will do the defense. Well, Luke wasn't calling this game,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: so I had a couple of them. Well, my number
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: one was... Like get team back involved early. That was
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: always our game plan. Get Smitty the ball in the
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: first drop, hopefully the first play.
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: It just, cause it made our team better.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: But I just finished watching CD lamb catch 17 passes.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: And the more you think about it, and I have
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: this ingrained, it just, it's ingrained in my brain from
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy when he was the quarterback coach for the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Kansas city chiefs, when Joe Montana was there.
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: They asked Joe, Joe, what do you want to call here?
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: It was in a red zone and a crucial time
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: playoff game. And Joe was like, you call it. I'll
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: do it. But just don't forget, play. We got to
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: feature the players. Don't worry about the play is the players.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: And that's what you give your players a chance.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's why some of these guys are
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: just better than others. You just give them a chance
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: to make a play, and usually they do.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I like that. I like that. Jake, always fun catching
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: up with you, man. Be good. Keep enjoying this season,
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: and thanks for coming on.
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: Anytime, guys.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Have a great weekend.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: You too. There you go. That is Jake DeLome talking
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: ball with us. Joe Montana treated– Mike McCarthy with more
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: respect than Aaron Rodgers. Slightly more. Slightly more. It was
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: not in play.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: What was I going to say? Oh, so I was watching.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: You talked about remote controls earlier.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a little feisty about it. But now
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: we're good, though. A building guy, Donald, brought in a
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: replacement remote.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Are we allowed to post a video of you cussing
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: at the TV? I guess if y'all want to. Do
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: we have to beep it out or is this going
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: to hurt your reputation?
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess people already think I'm kind of
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: a jack, so I don't know.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Maybe it won't hurt anything.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I was watching the— Jake brought up, again, how amazing the
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: throw was on the run to the right from Bryce
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: to T-Mac, who did a ridiculous job to catch it
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: and get two feet in. I was watching QB school,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: the JTU of Sullivan thing, 45 minutes going through Bryce.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: And, by the way, it was a lot about T-Mac, too.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: He shows you how ridiculous the routes T-Mac was running,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: how ridiculous the separation he was getting. It was really
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: cool to see. But on that throw, I didn't realize this, Bone.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: He throws that ball on the move. Like, complete dime,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: complete dot, as the kids would say, 32 yards in
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: the air. I didn't realize it was that long. It
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: was because of how far back he was. It was
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: 32 yards in the air, man. Freaking dot. Freaking seed,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: as the kids would say, Bo. A lot of kids
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: would say on this radio program. Are you into calling
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: good passes dots and seeds? I think I might try
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: to sound cool and start working it in. You don't
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: think I should? I've never used the word da, but
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: What about seed? That's the newer one. Oh, I didn't
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: know that was a thing.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Cam Ward during quarterback. Seed, man. That's a seed.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: And sadly for him, there have not been many seeds
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: that he has thrown this season.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: When we come back on the Back in Bone show,
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: it's the wrap-up. Get you set for Tampa Bay and
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: Dallas tonight and Duke's scrimmage. Exhibition season, whatever we're calling it,
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: gets going tonight as well. We talk about that. Sports
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: South Carolina fans, they think it's their God-given right to
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: beat Kentucky every year. But I'm sorry, South Carolina fans.
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: Your sense of entitlement is just disgusting. You know, you
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: thank your God's gift of football because Spurrier gave you
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: three good years. Lou Holtz was a 7-5 coach for you, okay?
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: You are not who you think you are.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: You just aren't.
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: You had a nice little run with Spurrier.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: Great job. But you know what?
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: Kentucky had a nice little run with Stoops. You are
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: a middle-of-the-pack SEC team. You don't just get to show
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: up and beat Kentucky every year. That's not how this works.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: What?
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: Mac, is it entitlement that South Carolina fans just want
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: better and more consistency than they have? I don't think
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: South Carolina fans, Mac, and I'm one of them, I
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: don't think they're expecting the moon in the world every year.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: I think they just want a more consistent product. Do
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: you think that they're... They're entitled. They're not even the
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: most entitled. They're not even the most entitled fan base
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: in that state.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: That's Nick Roush from Kentucky Sports Radio on that SEC
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: podcast with SEC Mike. I said similar. I don't know
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: if entitled is the right word. I made similar comments
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: and Fitty and Bone lost it on me recently.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: Because you want the team to be more consistent and
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: better and not just accept what they are?
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think entitled might be the wrong word. But
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe I leave.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's... What's the right word to
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: fans out there? Like, I feel like Gamecock fans have had, like...
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: I feel like your expectations are... are a little too
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: high considering your historical performances. So they can't want more, though? No,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: you can want more, but to expect more— I root
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: for some entitled fan bases. That's not one of them. Again,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not using the word entitled. I'm saying unrealistic. I'm
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: responding to what the audio that played was. The word
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: was entitled. I root for some entitled fan bases. One
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: that lost last night. Like, eight wins for y'all is
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: a good— Remember in the summer when I said seven
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: or eight wins, that would be a good season, and
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: you're like, that's not enough, and you wanted to contend
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: for a playoff? I just, I don't know. It's things
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: like that. It's like eight wins for y'all in that conference.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: That's another thing, too. The conference you play in would
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: be like really freaking good.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: Well, I, on behalf of South Carolina and any fan
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: base that wants more in a sport that just saw Indiana,
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: by the way, become a dominant force.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: That's the thing.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: I apologize for wanting more out of the team. So
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: that's on me. I don't mean to be entitled to
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: what that audio said there.
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: You can label them entitled. Maybe you want to label
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: them delusional. Because it is a program that historically, outside
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: of George Rogers' Heisman season, outside of Spurrier's three-year run,
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: doesn't have a whole lot to pat their back about.
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: But we live in a day and time where Indiana
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: wins and won a national championship.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: How many Cignettis are on this earth, though? It doesn't matter.
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: If Indiana can do it, why should South Carolina fans
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: not want more from a program?
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: But to expect it, like, I don't know. You just
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: called him delusional.
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: I'm saying that those are words that you could use
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: if the Indiana thing didn't happen.
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: So from now on, when we do football segments in
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: the summer and you're looking for hyped up people, make
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: sure that you're within reason of your hype. Because from
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: now on, I will just simply say, I think, Mac,
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: that South Carolina can win five games, and I don't
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: want anything.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: More than that.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to the season. I don't think you
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: should want more than what they have. As a fan,
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: I don't want to. That's what we're going to do now.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: We're not going to want more for our teams.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: We're going to do what you want. We're going to
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: be right there. We're going to be as negative as possible.
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: That was everyone to win and go to the final
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: four and play for the national championship.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: I want people to kind of have some self-awareness. Like,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: look in the mirror and realize you're not everybody's Brad Pitt.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? That's like, know who you
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: are as a, as a, as a program, know the
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: amount of money that you have compared to your sec peers,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: like things like that. Fitty, like you can sit over there, Fitty,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: and say that thing about Indiana. Everybody should expect to
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: win big now, but you wouldn't bet any money on
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: South Carolina.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: That's not what I said.
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: I mean, like, like, come on, not everyone expects to win,
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: but if the most losing is program in the history
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: of the sport can win a national championship. I can
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: understand where bone comes from considering, first off, how passionate
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: that fan base is and.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: How much they have put into football. All I've wanted
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: is consistency.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: I've literally said I don't expect to be at the
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: end of the road every year with the championship.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: I just want consistency. That's all I want. Be consistent.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Like a 12-team playoff.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Like I said after that season, that is an all-time
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: great South Carolina team. Like once they got going. Once
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: they had a couple hiccups early. But that defense they
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: had was special. And I think Gamecock fans thought they
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: could keep replicating.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? They also have the 14th
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: most expensive roster.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: With that comes the expectation that you're going to be
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: better than you are.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: They have not been that. 14th most expensive. They have
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: the 14th most expensive roster right now. But where do
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: they rank in the SEC? See, that's the problem.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: If they spent the money they have to spend and
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: played in the ACC, it could be game on.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: But in the SEC, it's like that money, you know
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying? That money is not the same as
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: what it would be in the ACE. That would be
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: the second most money in the ACC behind Miami. Yeah,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: but they're not, so this is what we're dealt with. Sorry,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: we ruined your day. That damn Nick Roush cut, we
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have played that.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: That Nick Roush thing just ruined your morning. I'm sure
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: you feel awful about it.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Ruined your morning, Bone. All right, let's get to some
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: techs here and see what we got.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: 704-570-9610.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Duke, that'll make you happy tonight.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Duke and Belmont, ACC Network, extra ESPN Plus tonight in
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: a scrimmage. If you want to watch a little Duke Hoops. Also,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: let's all be Cowboys tonight. All right, let's all be Cowboys.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: and root for them to make Tampa 0-5 tonight.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: It's safe, Fitty. A texter said, Fitty, it's safe for
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: you to root for Dallas tonight, my friend.
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: I always root for Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: I always root for the real Cowboys.
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: I didn't know where that was. I was going to
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: say I always root for Dallas. Did you say Doc Holliday?
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: No.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: All right, anyway, let's continue here with some cuts. Where's
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: My Bike says, Oh, no, Mac. You can afford 20
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: seconds as you waste three hours of my time every day.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Oh!
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: That's a call back to me, not wanting to sit
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: there for 20 seconds in the middle of a street
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: while somebody stopped their car completely and me completely to
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: let a lady and her dog.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Cross the street.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: It's very controversial. All your neighbors now are on edge.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: They don't know if you're just going to give someone
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: a little boost across the street. Just keep driving, baby.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: Just keep driving. Someone is mad and said a real
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: man would have gotten out and helped the lady across
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: the street.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: A texter says, is it just me or does Mac
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: have a little Collinsworth in his laugh today?
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Say here's a guy. Say here's a guy.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Granny Pat says, that lady was kind to let the
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: old lady cross the street. Don't be ugly about this, Mac.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: You are usually a kind person. See, that hurts because
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I can tell. I can tell my unofficial radio grandmother
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: is upset with me, Bo. I can tell she's disappointed.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: She said it really. It hurts.
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: She made a comment today with her spelling. She said
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: it really, really buns her up.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Does she eat birds?
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Hey, now.
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: Hey, now.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: You don't know about Granny Bunzop. All righty, then. Granny.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: Sons up, Bunzop. Free to part, Granny.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Adam has written a song, Bone, about today's show and
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: the situation with the grandma crossing the street and me
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: getting upset. He says, Grandma got run over by a
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Mad Mac walking her dog home on autumn eve. Drake
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: can say there's no such thing as a moon landing,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: but as for Mac and T-Bone, they believe. So there
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: you go. Even worked the Drake story in. Oh, what'll
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Finney call out his brother on the text line? What's Lil'
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Finney saying? Finney gets to go back to his roots tonight,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: rooting for Dallas.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: There you go, Fit.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: There you go, baby. Romo jersey. Pull that Romo jersey
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: out and have about 16 drinks.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: All right? Let's see.
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: Hey, Jerry Jones said that Romo's not done yet, though.
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: He's got a lot more to go in broadcasting. Yes,
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: he's just getting started. He's just getting started drinking, I
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: feel like, right? It was the first hole he was
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: on when he's just getting started drinking.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: Let's see here. This texter says Bryce is playing.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, this is Bebop. Bryce is playing good. The Browns
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: are playing good. The end of the world is near.
• 41:38
  Speaker 7: Unbelievable.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: Bob got to find a new cause, man. Just when
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: I find a woman.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Texter says, why does Bone think dinosaurs were not real
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: but believes in Bigfoot?
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: Because a lot more people have been around to see
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: Bigfoot than they saw dinosaurs.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: We can go.
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: I've got plenty of people and videos I can show
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: you where, yeah, Bigfoot was there.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: Dinosaurs?
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: No one was around for those. Except for Grady Pat.
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: You go to a Bigfoot convention where y'all call Bigfoot
• 42:05
  Speaker 7: into the wild.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: We don't try to lure the dinosaurs out of the wild. No,
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: not at all. Now, I think.
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: Can I give you my Bigfoot theory, though? I think
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: Bigfoot was around... He either has died or he simply
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: just retired to Florida. And now he's like living off
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: the grid now. At some point, Mac, Bigfoot can't live forever, right?
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: He's going to die. So is he still around? I
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: don't know, but he was around.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, dear.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry I asked.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: The regulator says the Eagles and Bucs are setting up
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: to be Carolina Reaper games. Could the Reaper hand out
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: a couple of pink slips?
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: It's possible. To the head coaches? Especially Tampa. Oh, I'd
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: love to see it. All right, we've got to get
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: out of here, y'all.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, there is somebody, Fiddy, that would like to hear
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: your crying over Cormac Ryan radio clip.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: I found it.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: Okay, we'll have to play that tomorrow. Why is Willie P.
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: calling us morons, Fiddy?
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: What is going on here?
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: I think your whole dinosaur Bigfoot conversation didn't really seem
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: like the sharpest.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, Willie P, dinosaur expert, sure, yeah. But you were
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: there for it.
• 43:08
  Speaker 7: Well, at least it was the meteor that got them
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: on his dry-ass brisket.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: That'll make anybody go stink. Is that what happened?
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Get out of here!
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Do you think a meteor hit Willie's brisket and made
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: it dry? Is that what happened? All right, we've got
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: to get out of here, y'all.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: We appreciate you. Thanks for hanging in. Good work out
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: of Bone and Fitty. Show of Sports Today coming up
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: next with... Is it more fitting? That is correct.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: Stay tuned.
