- 0:56Speaker 4: Harris Cherokee Casino Resort. Folks, that second pitch went for
- 0:59Speaker 4: a double. As the sponsor of our Uptown Studio. And
- 1:03Speaker 4: it threw me off. It threw me all off. I

- 1:13Speaker 4: We're ready to go. It's coming out to the mound.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Talk to you a little bit here.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Make sure you're okay.
- 1:19Speaker 4: We already got four mops out to clean up the
- 1:22Speaker 4: messes on aisle one and two. Anyway, we'll talk Panthers.
- 1:27Speaker 4: We'll talk college football coaches in the Carolinas that you
- 1:30Speaker 4: may be tired of. We will talk much, much more.
- 1:33Speaker 4: Ryan Blaney and Dave Doran explain away their situations over
- 1:38Speaker 4: the weekend. We'll hear that coming up here in hour one.
- 1:41Speaker 2: J.J.
- 1:42Speaker 4: Jansen, a little in season, post-victory Snapchats on the show today.
- 1:47Speaker 4: And we've got ourselves some what the bleep stories and
- 1:51Speaker 4: sound bites that you can laugh at and maybe stop
- 1:54Speaker 4: laughing at me for at least a one segment on
- 1:56Speaker 4: today's radio show bone is here you heard him fitty
- 2:00Speaker 4: is here you heard him break out the uh the
- 2:03Speaker 4: mop um bone i will pick it up from here
- 2:06Speaker 4: at some point i will pick my game up bonesy.
- 2:08Speaker 5: We are at 602 i've nearly peed my pants already
- 2:10Speaker 5: i love you man you know why i love you
- 2:12Speaker 5: thank you because you are a tone setter You made
- 2:15Speaker 5: the mistake so early. Now, any mistake I make doesn't
- 2:18Speaker 5: pale to what you did to start the show. So
- 2:19Speaker 5: now you've got us off to a good start. I
- 2:21Speaker 5: love that about you, man. That's a team player right there.
- 2:23Speaker 5: I'm going to mess up not once but twice to
- 2:26Speaker 5: take the pressure off my teammates. That's what my man,
- 2:30Speaker 5: Bro Nemechek, does.
- 2:32Speaker 4: Yeah, let's just lighten the mood early. You know what
- 2:36Speaker 4: I'm saying? Lighten the mood early.
- 2:38Speaker 5: I had to go a roundabout way to say Brody,
- 2:40Speaker 5: but check today because we got a little bit, we
- 2:41Speaker 5: got a little bit off target there.
- 2:42Speaker 4: Yeah. Almost messed up your whole bro thing at the beginning.
- 2:45Speaker 4: I threw a lot of things off.
- 2:47Speaker 5: When you're getting down to Brody, but check your, you're
- 2:49Speaker 5: kind of going down the list here a little bit.
- 2:51Speaker 4: I'm a little disheveled bone because the Panthers offense is
- 2:54Speaker 4: the bell of the ball. Bryce Young is literally being
- 2:58Speaker 4: mentioned in national TV shows MVP conversation. I don't know
- 3:02Speaker 4: what this world is, but I love this damn world.
- 3:05Speaker 4: I really do. It's a beautiful thing. I don't know, Mac,
- 3:08Speaker 4: if it's because we don't do them as often as
- 3:10Speaker 4: we once did. Like in the 2015 season, we did
- 3:13Speaker 4: a lot of Montage of Misery, so.
- 3:17Speaker 2: They all kind of ran together after a while. They
- 3:19Speaker 2: were funny.
- 3:20Speaker 5: This one today, you found the clips of Atlanta Radio,
- 3:23Speaker 5: and I put them together with some sounds and tried
- 3:27Speaker 5: to make it all form together into one montage that
- 3:30Speaker 5: runs later. This one might be... There's a chance this
- 3:35Speaker 5: is my favorite. I don't know if it's because we're
- 3:36Speaker 5: getting to know the people of Atlanta now on these montages.
- 3:39Speaker 5: It seems like it's the same people pop up here
- 3:41Speaker 5: and there, like callers. It's the same ones as last year.
- 3:44Speaker 5: This might be my favorite montage of all. There's a
- 3:48Speaker 5: guy in this montage that... He's an all-timer today. This
- 3:53Speaker 5: is really something there.
- 3:54Speaker 2: We found him last year.
- 3:55Speaker 4: I discovered the YouTube fan reaction channels, and there's this
- 4:00Speaker 4: one Falcons guy that is so angry it brings joy
- 4:03Speaker 4: to my heart. I mean, everything he screams about the
- 4:06Speaker 4: Falcons after the Panthers whip their tail just makes– it's intoxicating. Seriously,
- 4:10Speaker 4: there's no drug that can do to me what angry
- 4:14Speaker 4: Falcon fans can do to me.
- 4:15Speaker 2: It's a beautiful feeling.
- 4:17Speaker 5: And, I mean, they're complaining about their quarterback, their coach,
- 4:20Speaker 5: their offense. The fans taking over the stadium. They want
- 4:25Speaker 5: Cam back. This is all topics that we've had in
- 4:27Speaker 5: the last couple of years.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Even the Cam one. Oh, God. They want Cam to
- 4:33Speaker 2: be their quarterback. These are all topics.
- 4:35Speaker 5: Atlanta now is just taking our topics for now.
- 4:38Speaker 2: They're a mess, y'all, a mess.
- 4:39Speaker 4: And I'd like to think we have played a very
- 4:41Speaker 4: large part in it because they can't figure out why
- 4:44Speaker 4: Bryce Young is so amazing when he plays them. Might
- 4:47Speaker 4: have something to do with y'all, but it also might
- 4:50Speaker 4: have something to do with Bryce Young, who is getting
- 4:52Speaker 4: better and better.
- 4:52Speaker 2: So anyway, that's coming up. We'll make sure we play.
- 4:55Speaker 4: That montage of Misery Atlanta style a couple times today.
- 4:59Speaker 2: We also had our very own Husky.
- 5:00Speaker 4: Pants infiltrate 680 to Fan on their morning show yesterday.
- 5:06Speaker 4: and try to act like he's a Falcons fan. We'll
- 5:08Speaker 4: let you hear that at some point. Carolina Mike has finally.
- 5:12Speaker 4: finally got rid of that writer's block, Bone, and dropped
- 5:15Speaker 4: that new song. It's a Panther anthem, baby.
- 5:18Speaker 2: He did.
- 5:18Speaker 4: So we got that going on today as well. Last night,
- 5:23Speaker 4: Monday Night Football, you called this one, Bone. And obviously
- 5:27Speaker 4: the Jackson Dart injury played a huge role in it
- 5:29Speaker 4: because Jameis Winston reminded us that he's best probably on videos,
- 5:34Speaker 4: you know what I mean, that don't involve playing football anymore. Yeah,
- 5:37Speaker 4: that was Fox contributor Jameis Winston playing quarterback last night.
- 5:41Speaker 4: Because he was rough, man. But when Jackson Dart went
- 5:44Speaker 4: out with the knee injury, we're trying to wait and
- 5:47Speaker 4: figure out how severe it is.
- 5:49Speaker 2: But so that didn't help. But you said it.
- 5:52Speaker 4: The Rams were going to be out to make a
- 5:56Speaker 4: statement after what happened in Australia at the expense of
- 5:59Speaker 4: the Giants.
- 6:00Speaker 2: And they did last night.
- 6:01Speaker 4: The one good thing I'll say about this game is
- 6:04Speaker 4: 28 to 6 win for the Rams.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Well, Devontae Adams was unbelievable. Pukin Deku is out.
- 6:09Speaker 4: So they just say, Devontae, we're going to treat it
- 6:10Speaker 4: like it's you about four years ago. And he goes off.
- 6:14Speaker 4: But the only good thing, Bone, is I got some
- 6:16Speaker 4: extra sleep. You know what I mean? It wasn't a
- 6:18Speaker 4: game like on Sunday night that I felt like I
- 6:21Speaker 4: have to put the toothpicks in my eyes and stay awake.
- 6:23Speaker 5: No, you kind of knew Jackson Dart's sprained MCL, it appears.
- 6:30Speaker 2: It's not an ACL. That's the third young quarterback to
- 6:32Speaker 2: get injured, by the.
- 6:33Speaker 5: Way, in just a couple of days. It's been an
- 6:36Speaker 5: issue here in a storyline. You kind of knew, Mac,
- 6:39Speaker 5: once Jackson Dart went down, you said, oh, this is
- 6:41Speaker 5: going to be... It's not that Jackson Dark played. It
- 6:44Speaker 5: may not have been too much better because of the
- 6:46Speaker 5: Rams offense, but you just knew in that spot the
- 6:49Speaker 5: Rams had. Rams were not going 0-2. They're not losing
- 6:52Speaker 5: at home on their home opener, and they had far
- 6:55Speaker 5: too much time to stew and work on things to
- 6:57Speaker 5: get ready for that. That was the Rams offense. that
- 7:01Speaker 5: we expect to see all season long.
- 7:02Speaker 4: Without one of the best receivers in football, and it
- 7:05Speaker 4: didn't matter. Devontae Adams, eight catches, 195 yards, two touchdowns.
- 7:09Speaker 5: He had a sick touchdown early, too, where Stafford threw
- 7:12Speaker 5: it kind of high, and.
- 7:13Speaker 2: He just, he said, whoop, give me that. He was
- 7:15Speaker 2: going off, man.
- 7:16Speaker 4: And Matthew Stafford, four touchdowns, 327. Yards passing. Jameis, how
- 7:22Speaker 4: bad was it? 11 of 27, 4.1 yards an attempt,
- 7:27Speaker 4: zero touchdowns and one interception. At this point, Jameis is
- 7:31Speaker 4: just an entertainer off the field.
- 7:34Speaker 2: I have a.
- 7:34Speaker 5: Theory on Jameis there, Mackers. I think if you tell
- 7:38Speaker 5: Jameis seven days in advance— Hey, you're going to start
- 7:42Speaker 5: next week.
- 7:42Speaker 2: He's got time to prepare. He probably puts in the work.
- 7:45Speaker 5: If Jameis Mack just has to go in randomly, do
- 7:48Speaker 5: we trust that Jameis, the way Jameis is, do we
- 7:51Speaker 5: trust Mack that Jameis has been focused all week that
- 7:53Speaker 5: he might play football? Or is he kind of like, uh-oh.
- 7:56Speaker 5: And he goes out there like, well, I guess I'll
- 7:58Speaker 5: throw it around. I would trust Jameis if he's got
- 8:01Speaker 5: a little time to prepare. Jameis Mack with no time
- 8:04Speaker 5: to prepare? I don't know about that, honestly. I don't
- 8:07Speaker 5: know what he does to prepare.
- 8:08Speaker 2: For the game.
- 8:09Speaker 4: It was ugly, man. And Aaron Donald was back out there.
- 8:13Speaker 4: Four total tackles yesterday. A TFL included in there. So
- 8:18Speaker 4: it's nice to be able to work one of the
- 8:20Speaker 4: all-time greats on the D-line back in. So the Rams
- 8:24Speaker 4: bounced back last night. We'll see how long Jackson Dart
- 8:27Speaker 4: is out. Sounds like Caleb Williams. I mean, I know
- 8:30Speaker 4: they're saying week to week, and they're not ruling him
- 8:31Speaker 4: out this week. Kind of sounds like.
- 8:35Speaker 4: He's not going to practice this week. It kind of
- 8:37Speaker 4: sounds like maybe he misses a week here. Jaden Daniels,
- 8:40Speaker 4: I guess Schefter said he'll miss this week, and they'll
- 8:43Speaker 4: see how long he misses. It is a shame these
- 8:45Speaker 4: damn quarterbacks are getting hurt, man.
- 8:48Speaker 2: It is.
- 8:49Speaker 5: Because we know as the season goes along, that despite
- 8:53Speaker 5: all the uh the efforts mac and all the quarterback
- 8:56Speaker 5: talk around the league every year by the time we
- 8:58Speaker 5: get to a certain point in the year there are
- 9:00Speaker 5: some random dudes that play quarterback whether it's third stringers
- 9:03Speaker 5: undrafted we get to a point where you go you
- 9:05Speaker 5: know we whatever it's like oh my god it's a
- 9:07Speaker 5: lot of times the dolphins end up playing some dudes
- 9:09Speaker 5: i don't know who they are but now we're already
- 9:11Speaker 5: in week number three coming up we've got backups galore
- 9:15Speaker 5: all over the place i.
- 9:16Speaker 4: Don't what backups you're talking about i've seen great quality
- 9:19Speaker 4: quarterback play this weekend i watched cooper rush and jack
- 9:21Speaker 4: strand i don't know what you're talking about oh my
- 9:26Speaker 4: god by the way i didn't.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Know jack strand was a real human until about a
- 9:28Speaker 2: week and a half.
- 9:29Speaker 4: Ago and and you've got oh they love them in
- 9:32Speaker 4: atlanta there's a faction that believe there's a dude that
- 9:35Speaker 4: called atlanta radio yesterday because i listened to so much
- 9:37Speaker 4: of it for this montage there's a dude to call
- 9:40Speaker 4: a cigar while this one oh it was glorious there's
- 9:43Speaker 4: a dude that called atlanta radio and said Jack Strain
- 9:45Speaker 4: reminds me of Matt Ryan as a rookie. Bro, did
- 9:49Speaker 4: Matt Ryan ever have a Gary O'Premian moment where the
- 9:51Speaker 4: ball slips out of his hands like he's got Crisco oil.
- 9:54Speaker 3: On his mitts?
- 9:54Speaker 2: I mean, are you kidding Are you kidding me?
- 9:56Speaker 4: Not since be Bob love Jack Plummer has a quarterback,
- 9:59Speaker 4: but as well, it's unbelievable. And then other guys think
- 10:01Speaker 4: Pennix is going to rally them to like an eight,
- 10:03Speaker 4: nine win season. It's just, he'll, he'll start on Thursday,
- 10:07Speaker 4: Michael Pennix. Then the radio hosts there are mad because
- 10:10Speaker 4: they're like, how do you know today? He's healthy enough
- 10:12Speaker 4: to play Thursday, but he couldn't play yesterday.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Great question. Like they're so mad.
- 10:16Speaker 5: Oh, it's also an awful announcing piece of yesterday, Mac
- 10:18Speaker 5: about how annoyed, Football fans are going to be around
- 10:22Speaker 5: the world, not around the world, around the nation with
- 10:24Speaker 5: the Falcons because they have a lot of primetime spots
- 10:26Speaker 5: coming up.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Three straight.
- 10:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 10:28Speaker 2: It starts Thursday. Now, part of me says.
- 10:30Speaker 5: Three straight primetime games. Now, part of me, Max, says, oh,
- 10:33Speaker 5: do we have to watch this? And the other part
- 10:35Speaker 5: of me says, oh, yeah, put them on there. Let's
- 10:37Speaker 5: just go sitting there, get our little popcorns going, and
- 10:40Speaker 5: just watch the enemy suffer.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Like we have for a long time.
- 10:43Speaker 4: Let all of America see what we saw on Sunday,
- 10:46Speaker 4: which is damn, I mean, are you kidding me? A
- 10:50Speaker 4: baby's blood infested diaper. That's pretty much it. That's probably
- 10:53Speaker 4: what I was looking for there.
- 10:54Speaker 2: As a wise poet once said.
- 10:57Speaker 4: Yeah, they play Thursday night against Green Bay. Then they
- 10:59Speaker 4: have a Sunday night against Saints, I think. And then
- 11:03Speaker 4: I think they play the following Monday.
- 11:06Speaker 2: One or the other.
- 11:06Speaker 4: Sunday and Monday night back-to-back. Saints and Ravens. So it's like, God,
- 11:11Speaker 4: I want to laugh at them, man. I want to
- 11:13Speaker 4: laugh at them. It's good to laugh at somebody else, Bone,
- 11:15Speaker 4: after we were a mockery last week giving up 59 points.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 11:18Speaker 4: But we made a 56-point improvement on defense this week.
- 11:22Speaker 2: It's not who you are in Week 1. It's who
- 11:24Speaker 2: you are at the end of Week 2, I always say. Clearly, clearly.
- 11:26Speaker 4: We've got to mention Jonathan Brooks. So Dave Canales hit
- 11:31Speaker 4: the media yesterday with multiple Wednesdays when asked about injuries.
- 11:35Speaker 2: Wednesday.
- 11:36Speaker 5: I'll tell you Wednesday. I'll tell you Wednesday. He's got
- 11:38Speaker 5: the busiest Wednesday. wednesdays ever.
- 11:42Speaker 4: Well they work wednesdays after all uh but that's when
- 11:44Speaker 4: the injury report comes out and that's when he has
- 11:46Speaker 4: to like say something right but anyway um what he
- 11:49Speaker 4: did say about brooks is it it sounds like they
- 11:53Speaker 4: need to get some further testing on it for the
- 11:56Speaker 4: severity of the groin injury this is of course the
- 11:59Speaker 4: this is the groin that was you know groin injury
- 12:01Speaker 4: that he had in camp And it seems like he
- 12:04Speaker 4: just kind of restrained it or whatever. And Tom Pelissero
- 12:10Speaker 4: from NFL Media said that he is Brooks' week-to-week, according
- 12:14Speaker 4: to his sources, and he's getting a second opinion on
- 12:17Speaker 4: his groin injury right now.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Okay.
- 12:21Speaker 4: So my initial guess with all this is we won't
- 12:24Speaker 4: see him until after the bye. That's kind of my
- 12:27Speaker 4: initial guess, right? Two games left and then the bye.
- 12:30Speaker 4: Especially since he's already had this happen once. They're going
- 12:32Speaker 4: to want to make sure that it doesn't happen a
- 12:34Speaker 4: third time. So I think you're probably spot on with that.
- 12:37Speaker 4: And if you're getting a second opinion on a growing injury.
- 12:42Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 12:42Speaker 4: Finney's never asked for a second opinion on his groin before.
- 12:45Speaker 4: He has, but no one's been there to actually give
- 12:48Speaker 4: him a first.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Oh, man. Finney, you're the man, Finney. We're going to
- 12:54Speaker 2: get along today, though, Finney.
- 12:55Speaker 5: Finney, your dancing got rave reviews yesterday. People think that
- 12:58Speaker 5: you found something in those magical toes of yours.
- 13:02Speaker 2: Really?
- 13:03Speaker 6: Because I promised new dance moves? And then proceeded to
- 13:07Speaker 6: do the exact thing I always... The exact same routine.
- 13:10Speaker 5: Woman on Facebook named Susan says you look like you're
- 13:12Speaker 5: in great shape this year.
- 13:13Speaker 2: There you go.
- 13:14Speaker 6: Are you sure it wasn't my mom? Because my mom
- 13:16Speaker 6: watches the dance videos.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Was that really your mom, Susan? I don't know.
- 13:20Speaker 6: Do you remember who the.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Tell me out there who the last name was. But
- 13:23Speaker 2: my mom's name is Susan. I forgot that's your mom's name.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Your mom's getting on there to support you? That is sweet.
- 13:27Speaker 2: I forgot it's his mom. My bad.
- 13:29Speaker 5: She said that dancer... That topless dancer's in great shape.
- 13:32Speaker 2: There you go. More importantly, the.
- 13:35Speaker 6: The girl saw the dance video.
- 13:37Speaker 2: The girl. Just sent me a text. Oh, no. That's
- 13:45Speaker 2: not mom.
- 13:45Speaker 4: You got another Susan out there checking you out.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Your sweetie watched you dance. Bikini boy looks great. Okay.
- 13:54Speaker 2: All right. Hey, now.
- 13:55Speaker 6: Anyway, got a text.
- 13:57Speaker 2: All caps. Hot. I told her no.
- 14:02Speaker 6: But it felt good to get a positive reinforcement for
- 14:05Speaker 6: my dancing.
- 14:05Speaker 4: I think you found the perfect woman for you. A
- 14:08Speaker 4: lot of people were concerned that your sweetie would see
- 14:11Speaker 4: your dancing and then she would run away. But the
- 14:14Speaker 4: fact that she watched that video and said, you may
- 14:16Speaker 4: have found the perfect woman that is into all that
- 14:21Speaker 4: you do.
- 14:22Speaker 5: That was Tara's first time since we started dating of
- 14:25Speaker 5: the video. And I thought she felt much the same way.
- 14:29Speaker 2: She had the... Laughing emoji's out. I didn't really get hot, though,
- 14:33Speaker 2: I don't think. Here was my biggest issue. Well, you
- 14:35Speaker 2: weren't shirtless.
- 14:36Speaker 4: If you were shirtless, you probably would have got that.
- 14:38Speaker 4: People were asking, did Boomer know he was in the dance?
- 14:41Speaker 4: We kind of just threw Boomer in there, honestly.
- 14:43Speaker 6: He was so confused and ready to leave.
- 14:45Speaker 2: But you know what? I talked to him this morning.
- 14:46Speaker 2: He was so excited to be included. Oh, yeah. There
- 14:49Speaker 2: you go.
- 14:49Speaker 4: He was so excited to be included. But yeah, I
- 14:51Speaker 4: feel like he kind of just stood there. We said, Boomer,
- 14:53Speaker 4: you're in the dance.
- 14:53Speaker 2: He said, all right.
- 14:54Speaker 4: I think he was standing in the room when the
- 14:56Speaker 4: music started. And he basically, we told him to stay.
- 14:59Speaker 4: I think that's basically how that happened.
- 15:02Speaker 5: If you're anywhere near that room, you might be included
- 15:05Speaker 5: in the dance. And Walker Male doesn't want credit. But
- 15:08Speaker 5: he was the man that filmed it yesterday.
- 15:11Speaker 2: He was so upset.
- 15:11Speaker 1: I'm aroused.
- 15:12Speaker 4: When he walked in and we had not done the
- 15:15Speaker 4: dance check, because I think he thought he missed it.
- 15:17Speaker 2: He was so excited that he came in later. He's like, oh, hey, guys.
- 15:20Speaker 4: And when we told him we needed you to film it,
- 15:22Speaker 4: we needed him to film it, I feel like he
- 15:23Speaker 4: was very disappointed.
- 15:25Speaker 6: Is it not concerning, Mac, that two things happened in
- 15:28Speaker 6: the video and neither were questioned? You were spanking me
- 15:31Speaker 6: with a jump rope.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Yep.
- 15:33Speaker 6: And then bone climbed on top of my back while
- 15:36Speaker 6: I was doing my push-ups.
- 15:37Speaker 2: Just another day at the office.
- 15:39Speaker 6: And no one raised an eyebrow.
- 15:40Speaker 2: People say they love these things. Just another day at
- 15:43Speaker 2: the office for the Mac and Bone boys.
- 15:45Speaker 5: It's also possible, Finney, that people didn't watch to the
- 15:48Speaker 5: end to see what actually happened at the end.
- 15:49Speaker 1: That's true.
- 15:49Speaker 4: They could tune out after eight seconds. They could tune out,
- 15:52Speaker 4: see the same old moves, and be like, I ain't
- 15:54Speaker 4: down for this.
- 15:55Speaker 5: I did think, Mac, I did think you actually brought
- 15:57Speaker 5: out some new... That's what I said. Yeah, you did, honestly.
- 16:00Speaker 4: I brought out two new moves at the start, and
- 16:03Speaker 4: then I broke out my thing that my wife calls
- 16:05Speaker 4: the seizure.
- 16:05Speaker 3: What?
- 16:06Speaker 4: A little seizure move, right? And then my wife still said, eh,
- 16:09Speaker 4: it really just looked like the same crap.
- 16:11Speaker 2: So Mrs. Mack wasn't impressed, which is the story of
- 16:13Speaker 2: our marriage. I do want to.
- 16:15Speaker 4: Mention, Bone, I do want to mention some Saints news.
- 16:21Speaker 4: They are going to be without starting tackle Kelvin Banks
- 16:25Speaker 4: for a while. He has a high ankle sprain that
- 16:28Speaker 4: is so severe it requires surgery.
- 16:31Speaker 2: Which is crazy.
- 16:32Speaker 4: And they're talking about not having him back until pretty
- 16:35Speaker 4: late in the season. So that's bad news for the Saints,
- 16:39Speaker 4: who clearly early on, it's only two weeks in, full
- 16:42Speaker 4: disclaimer here, two weeks in only, things can change. But
- 16:46Speaker 4: they do, I thought last week, I thought they were
- 16:48Speaker 4: the most impressive South team when we all lost. The
- 16:51Speaker 4: comeback from double digit down and beat the The Ravens,
- 16:56Speaker 4: the way they did on the road, even if Shuck
- 16:58Speaker 4: really didn't get in at the end there. Like, I
- 17:00Speaker 4: think they look like they are the team that, you
- 17:04Speaker 4: know what I mean? It feels like the biggest challenger
- 17:06Speaker 4: to our throne.
- 17:07Speaker 5: It doesn't look like, you know, we thought maybe, hey,
- 17:10Speaker 5: let's see what Shuck does after a great half a season.
- 17:12Speaker 5: He has not, Matt, gone into that sophomore swamp. Again,
- 17:17Speaker 5: we're judging very early, but... It doesn't look like there has–
- 17:21Speaker 5: he looks like he's gotten better, not falling off from
- 17:24Speaker 5: last year. I think part of that is– I'm fearful
- 17:28Speaker 5: of it a little bit, but that Chuck-Kellen-Moore combo, that
- 17:32Speaker 5: could be– pretty damn pretty. He's got a good coach
- 17:35Speaker 5: there for him. I think I got a bad feeling
- 17:37Speaker 5: that they, yeah, yeah. I think, I think that's a
- 17:40Speaker 5: good combination. Yeah, I really do. So I hate it.
- 17:43Speaker 4: I hate it, but it seems like they're living up
- 17:45Speaker 4: to the hype early on in the season. Um, also
- 17:48Speaker 4: need to mention bone. that we did not say this
- 17:52Speaker 4: yesterday because we were so consumed by football, whether it
- 17:56Speaker 4: was the crazy-blown leads on Saturday or the Panthers' big
- 17:59Speaker 4: win on Sunday. Congratulations to the Braves. They wrapped up
- 18:03Speaker 4: the division with their sweep of Houston over the weekend.
- 18:07Speaker 4: They will play Cincinnati tonight, but they have won. their
- 18:13Speaker 4: division so after you know after a couple of mostly
- 18:17Speaker 4: highs bone but a couple of lows that kept kind
- 18:19Speaker 4: of inviting the phillies back into the race they finished
- 18:21Speaker 4: it up uh with a week.
- 18:23Speaker 5: To spare yeah and i believe that um i looked
- 18:27Speaker 5: at it last night i'm doing this on the fly
- 18:29Speaker 5: i believe mac they are most likely are right now
- 18:33Speaker 5: they'd be playing the uh the phillies right in the
- 18:36Speaker 5: first is that what it is because the phillies have
- 18:38Speaker 5: fallen to the I have to double check. I thought
- 18:41Speaker 5: it was the Phillies that we played as of today.
- 18:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
- 18:45Speaker 4: To be honest, the only reason, Bone, I knew that
- 18:48Speaker 4: they wrapped up the division is because when I was
- 18:51Speaker 4: listening to Atlanta radio for the Montage of Misery, every
- 18:54Speaker 4: now and then in between crying about their quarterback situation,
- 18:58Speaker 4: they would say, hey, at least the Braves wrapped up
- 19:00Speaker 4: the division yesterday.
- 19:01Speaker 2: So they would do that routinely.
- 19:04Speaker 5: Yeah, Mac, right now, because it would be the Phillies
- 19:07Speaker 5: have flown to the third wild card by a game.
- 19:10Speaker 5: The Braves are the Brewers-Dodgers are going to get the
- 19:14Speaker 5: buys because they have the two best records. Braves have
- 19:16Speaker 5: the third record. They would play the last wild card team.
- 19:19Speaker 5: As of today, it would be Braves-Phillies. Although, you know,
- 19:23Speaker 5: Cubs-Padres are also only a game out. But that's not
- 19:27Speaker 5: been a series that the Braves have done well against. Yeah,
- 19:30Speaker 5: that's going to be a showdown if that happens, man.
- 19:34Speaker 5: When we come back on the Mac and Bone Show,
- 19:36Speaker 5: Dave Canales talks Coker, returning punts, and gives credit to
- 19:41Speaker 5: Averro and Morgan. Plus, we give you some glorious Panthers
- 19:47Speaker 5: offensive numbers. Sports Radio 92.7 WSB.
- 19:50Speaker 3: X-rays yesterday.
- 20:05Speaker 1: It looked like he was heading that way.
- 20:08Speaker 7: Yeah, he's getting a bunch of imaging. I'll hold off
- 20:10Speaker 7: any injury information until Wednesday.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Is it still a groin in your understanding?
- 20:16Speaker 3: It is.
- 20:16Speaker 2: It's a groin.
- 20:17Speaker 7: And so we're still, truly, we're still gathering information, getting
- 20:20Speaker 7: opinions about it, what does it look like, and all that.
- 20:25Speaker 2: There you go.
- 20:25Speaker 4: That was Dave Kanellis yesterday, Monday presser, post-watching the film presser,
- 20:31Speaker 4: and that's him talking about Jonathan Brooks.
- 20:36Speaker 2: We'll see. We'll see.
- 20:37Speaker 4: Tom Pelissero, we said it in the first segment of
- 20:39Speaker 4: the show, Tom Pelissero says he's getting a second opinion
- 20:41Speaker 4: on it, and he's week to week, two games before
- 20:44Speaker 4: the bye week. Maybe we're without him for these next
- 20:46Speaker 4: couple of games. I hate to see it, man. I
- 20:49Speaker 4: hate to see it. He ended up tackled bone. He
- 20:52Speaker 4: was right over there on our sideline. And I saw
- 20:55Speaker 4: him down on his knees and kind of waving for help.
- 20:57Speaker 2: And it's like, oh, crap. Now, I was afraid it
- 21:01Speaker 2: was the knee.
- 21:01Speaker 4: Yeah. So compared to that, I guess a groin, you know,
- 21:06Speaker 4: re-aggravating the same groin from training camp, I guess is
- 21:09Speaker 4: good news.
- 21:10Speaker 2: Because I was worried, oh, no. Is this the knee again?
- 21:14Speaker 5: Still hate it for him because he can't get any
- 21:16Speaker 5: sustained momentum. You know, he keeps having something happen, the
- 21:20Speaker 5: knees and then the groin and then the groin again.
- 21:22Speaker 5: You just want to see the guy, Mac, he still
- 21:25Speaker 5: has played so little football. You just want to see
- 21:27Speaker 5: him at the NFL level. You just want to see
- 21:29Speaker 5: him have some sustained time out there so we can evaluate, hey,
- 21:33Speaker 5: what can this guy be? Because we're still trying to
- 21:36Speaker 5: figure out, Mac, maybe what his ceiling is because every
- 21:39Speaker 5: time he gets out there, he comes out right away.
- 21:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:42Speaker 2: Still, he's been a giant mystery now for a long time,
- 21:45Speaker 2: and it remains that for now. I would think. It's
- 21:47Speaker 2: a good thing Chuba's playing the way he is.
- 21:49Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, if it wasn't for the penalties, he
- 21:50Speaker 4: could have had literally 100 yards rushing or close to
- 21:53Speaker 4: it last week. So I think the stats are a
- 21:55Speaker 4: little deceiving there with Chuba. I would think Dylan would
- 21:59Speaker 4: move up if Brooks can't play, and I don't have
- 22:01Speaker 4: a huge problem with that. And then they need to
- 22:03Speaker 4: figure out the third running back position bone because HN
- 22:08Speaker 4: is out the first four weeks at least. He was
- 22:11Speaker 4: put on that IR, so they're going to have to
- 22:13Speaker 4: do a little bit of shifting around there, probably running
- 22:16Speaker 4: back from the practice squad, whose name is escaping. I
- 22:19Speaker 4: know we got a back on that practice squad, Bone,
- 22:21Speaker 4: that we just signed. Yeah, but I forgot his name, too.
- 22:24Speaker 4: The name is escaping, but we might want to learn
- 22:27Speaker 4: it for this week. You don't worry about the practice
- 22:32Speaker 4: squad very much when you're at the high-level offensive team,
- 22:34Speaker 4: is it?
- 22:34Speaker 2: No, you don't. We're so good, though.
- 22:37Speaker 4: Our offensive skill players on the practice squad, Bone, I'm
- 22:40Speaker 4: telling you, they would start on about 26 of the teams, baby.
- 22:45Speaker 4: Here's what I'm looking for. Oh, yeah, we still have
- 22:48Speaker 4: Trey Tyus. Remember him from the preseason, Bone? And then
- 22:52Speaker 4: we signed Amani Marshall. Recently to the practice class, they
- 22:55Speaker 4: get a couple of options there to to work in
- 22:59Speaker 4: if Brooks can't go for a week or two. And
- 23:03Speaker 4: hopefully that's it's no more than that. HN's absence bone
- 23:07Speaker 4: is the reason. Well, that and Jimmy Horn's, you know,
- 23:10Speaker 4: punt fumble. and Jimmy Horn's impending release. Now he's with Cleveland, ironically,
- 23:15Speaker 4: who we play this week. But that's the reason why
- 23:18Speaker 4: they tried Jalen Coker at punt returner the other day.
- 23:21Speaker 4: In his first return, he goes for 36 yards. Second return,
- 23:25Speaker 4: goes for 13 yards. and uh average of dang near
- 23:29Speaker 4: 25 a return and yesterday canalis talked about it we're
- 23:33Speaker 4: gonna we'll do like a conversation a short segment on
- 23:35Speaker 4: it later because i know you brought you brought up
- 23:37Speaker 4: kind of your reservations on it he basically said you
- 23:41Speaker 4: know i probably should i probably should keep coca returning
- 23:45Speaker 4: uh punts and i don't know if it's going to
- 23:47Speaker 4: happen for you know i don't know if it's going
- 23:50Speaker 4: to be for the duration because when you get h
- 23:52Speaker 4: if you get hn back after the You know, maybe
- 23:56Speaker 4: then you take Coker back away. But it seems like
- 23:59Speaker 4: right now, he basically said, we got to do everything
- 24:02Speaker 4: we can to win the game. And based on what
- 24:04Speaker 4: I've seen, I know he'll catch the ball. He said
- 24:06Speaker 4: that's the most important thing. But he also was like,
- 24:09Speaker 4: based on the returns the other day, that gives us
- 24:12Speaker 4: the best chance to win, to have him back there.
- 24:15Speaker 7: I mean, we should. You know, he made positive yards.
- 24:18Speaker 7: He caught the ball well. That's what I cared about.
- 24:20Speaker 7: Save all the yards that are there. Make sure we
- 24:22Speaker 7: get this ball fielded. And then we saw what we
- 24:24Speaker 7: could do with the ball. And he's been doing that
- 24:27Speaker 7: more and more as a receiver as well, which I've
- 24:30Speaker 7: seen with guys. The more they understand the schemes and
- 24:33Speaker 7: the concepts, like what we talked about with the turnovers,
- 24:36Speaker 7: the more you're ready in the play and you have
- 24:38Speaker 7: that confidence to speed a play, then it takes you
- 24:40Speaker 7: to the play after. Once I have the ball, I'm
- 24:43Speaker 7: thinking about how I'm going to make this guy miss.
- 24:45Speaker 7: I have my free hand ready for a stiff arm,
- 24:47Speaker 7: different things like that as his game continues to grow.
- 24:50Speaker 7: But speaking of the return thing, I mean, we're definitely
- 24:53Speaker 7: going to have to have him back there until we
- 24:55Speaker 7: figure out if we find another option. And also a
- 24:58Speaker 7: part of it, too, is just he's dealing with an ankle,
- 25:00Speaker 7: so we want to be smart with that. But at
- 25:02Speaker 7: the end of the day, you only get one game
- 25:03Speaker 7: at a time. Let's go win this one, and then
- 25:05Speaker 7: we'll deal with that part afterwards.
- 25:10Speaker 2: I'm a little bit nervous.
- 25:11Speaker 8: Look, I.
- 25:14Speaker 5: I like the thought of Coker being the main guy,
- 25:16Speaker 5: but I'm also terrified of having a guy who not only, Mac,
- 25:21Speaker 5: is a viable offensive option, he is one of your best.
- 25:24Speaker 5: He's one of the best wide receivers in the league
- 25:26Speaker 5: for the first two weeks. I think he's equal to
- 25:30Speaker 5: T-Mac at.
- 25:31Speaker 2: This point in who they are on this team.
- 25:34Speaker 5: I'm a little nervous if he's the– I don't mind
- 25:36Speaker 5: him out there once in a while, but I'm a
- 25:38Speaker 5: little nervous that he's so valuable– to your offensive bottom line,
- 25:43Speaker 5: is it worth it?
- 25:44Speaker 2: For him to do that. I don't know, man. I'm
- 25:46Speaker 2: nervous about it. We're going to talk about it more.
- 25:48Speaker 2: 745 today.
- 25:48Speaker 4: We're going to have an expanded conversation about it because
- 25:52Speaker 4: I want to have this conversation. I just want to
- 25:54Speaker 4: say right now that I kind of feel like return
- 25:56Speaker 4: man has kind of been a spot where like we
- 25:59Speaker 4: were praising Dan Morgan yesterday. You're about ready to hear
- 26:01Speaker 4: Dave Canales do the same because so many of Dan's
- 26:04Speaker 4: signings and pickups bone made plays the other day. But
- 26:07Speaker 4: I feel like return man has been a spot that
- 26:09Speaker 4: they have not. They've not exactly hit it out of
- 26:11Speaker 4: the park yet. To me, HN at best is aight.
- 26:15Speaker 4: You know what I mean? I think they should strive
- 26:18Speaker 4: for a better return man than Trevor HN.
- 26:21Speaker 2: But anyway, we'll see.
- 26:23Speaker 4: And maybe HN will be back in week five, Bonin,
- 26:25Speaker 4: and maybe he'll get the gig back and they'll protect
- 26:27Speaker 4: Coker a little bit. Let's let you hear what Dave
- 26:31Speaker 4: Canales said yesterday about how when the game ended, he
- 26:35Speaker 4: thought about how good Dan Morgan must have felt about
- 26:38Speaker 4: some of his pickups making plays.
- 26:40Speaker 7: Well, I mean, I was sitting on the bus watching,
- 26:44Speaker 7: just kind of going through the plays and Dan sitting
- 26:46Speaker 7: across on the other seat. And I'm just thinking, Dan's
- 26:49Speaker 7: got to be really feeling himself right now. You know,
- 26:51Speaker 7: he's like, I bring Devin Lloyd in to turn the
- 26:53Speaker 7: ball over. He's got two picks, one for a touchdown.
- 26:56Speaker 7: We need rush. Here's Jalen Phillips coming off the edge
- 26:59Speaker 7: with a huge sack, you know, and Bobby making his plays.
- 27:02Speaker 7: Bobby could have had two interceptions, but I was just
- 27:04Speaker 7: sitting there just like, just proud, you know, like the evaluation,
- 27:08Speaker 7: Dan targeting guys that can really help us. And then
- 27:10Speaker 7: watching it come alive in short order. So I'm really
- 27:13Speaker 7: proud to be a part of that process. But again,
- 27:16Speaker 7: I can't say enough about Dan, about Jared, about the
- 27:18Speaker 7: whole crew, and Lee. Just putting their heads together to
- 27:23Speaker 7: see who are the guys that fit into what we're
- 27:25Speaker 7: doing and how can they impact us. So super excited
- 27:29Speaker 7: for that.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Oh, man. God, I love winning. I love winning.
- 27:32Speaker 4: Everybody gets talked about nicely. It's so much more fun, Bone,
- 27:35Speaker 4: than yelling about everybody. And it's what happened. It's the
- 27:38Speaker 4: combo of the offensive performance and then.
- 27:42Speaker 2: And yes, they didn't play an offensive juggernaut.
- 27:45Speaker 5: I did look at the text line this morning from yesterday,
- 27:47Speaker 5: and I did see some of the normal detractor showing
- 27:50Speaker 5: up trying to tell us who they played, Richie. I
- 27:53Speaker 5: saw some of those guys peek their heads out. But
- 27:57Speaker 5: I don't care who they played on offense. I'm not
- 28:00Speaker 5: taking away from what Devin Lloyd did in that football game.
- 28:03Speaker 5: That was one of the greatest linebacker games ever. historically, stat-wise,
- 28:08Speaker 5: we've ever seen. I don't care if he's playing against Mack, Bone, Fitty, Maumau.
- 28:14Speaker 5: I don't care who's on the offense. That Devin Lloyd
- 28:17Speaker 5: performance was historic no matter who he's playing against. Yeah,
- 28:19Speaker 5: it was badass, dude, and he is so versatile. In
- 28:22Speaker 5: his second game as a Panther. He does everything. I'm
- 28:25Speaker 5: not saying the guy's getting his statue yet, but I'm
- 28:26Speaker 5: also saying he's not getting his statue yet.
- 28:28Speaker 4: And a character he made plays. I mean, how much
- 28:30Speaker 4: improved are we in the middle, man? How much improved
- 28:33Speaker 4: are we? Here's the thing. I don't think anybody wants
- 28:36Speaker 4: to hand out cookies over there to the defense over
- 28:38Speaker 4: what they did. They played against Cooper Rush and Jack Strand,
- 28:41Speaker 4: but they also did what you're supposed to do.
- 28:43Speaker 2: They held them to three points.
- 28:45Speaker 4: And I would just wonder how many of these detractors
- 28:47Speaker 4: on Friday would have predicted if we would have asked
- 28:49Speaker 4: all of them. The Avero eviscerators. If we would have
- 28:52Speaker 4: asked them, how many points do you think we're going
- 28:54Speaker 4: to give up on defense this week? I'm not guessing
- 28:55Speaker 4: they would have said three. You know what I mean?
- 28:58Speaker 5: They would have called us stupid and morons and dodos
- 29:01Speaker 5: and dummies and.
- 29:05Speaker 4: A lot of things. Like Pittsburgh gave up 13 to them.
- 29:08Speaker 4: I almost said something other than dodos by accident. Whoa,
- 29:11Speaker 4: watch yourself. Pittsburgh gave up 13 to them. So last
- 29:15Speaker 4: I checked, three is 10 less than 13. So it's
- 29:18Speaker 4: a good rebound. And that leads us right into, and
- 29:21Speaker 4: this is really going to be hard for some of
- 29:23Speaker 4: y'all to listen to. You might have to cover your ears, earmuff.
- 29:27Speaker 4: Because Dave Canales said nice things about Ajiro Overo getting
- 29:32Speaker 4: the defense to bounce back.
- 29:34Speaker 7: I got to start off with E. And what I've
- 29:36Speaker 7: seen from him and now going into our third season,
- 29:40Speaker 7: together is his ability to just take the information that
- 29:43Speaker 7: he's gathered from the game, take responsibility for how he
- 29:47Speaker 7: can help the guys, and then challenge the guys to improve.
- 29:49Speaker 7: And it always usually comes back to the fundamentals of it,
- 29:52Speaker 7: the basics of it. And we were able to play
- 29:55Speaker 7: better as a unit. And that's E. That's the defensive staff.
- 29:59Speaker 7: working with the guys. And the broader comment, too, is
- 30:03Speaker 7: this is a group that hasn't played a lot of
- 30:05Speaker 7: football together. And the more that we play, the more
- 30:08Speaker 7: that they trust each other. Again, Bobby shows up right
- 30:11Speaker 7: before the season. Hadn't played next to Devin. Devin's a Mike's,
- 30:15Speaker 7: got the green dot for the first time. We were
- 30:18Speaker 7: in and out throughout camp with Bobby Brown and Derek
- 30:20Speaker 7: and different guys, Lee Hunter helping us out inside there.
- 30:24Speaker 7: And really a group that just needs time playing with
- 30:27Speaker 7: each other. And what I saw, what I loved coming
- 30:30Speaker 7: out of the game is to feel their energy, the
- 30:32Speaker 7: excitement of the guys to see their personalities start to
- 30:34Speaker 7: show up. That's when I know that we have a
- 30:36Speaker 7: good understanding of what we're doing. And now the individuals
- 30:39Speaker 7: get to kind of show up and celebrate each other.
- 30:41Speaker 7: And the team gets to expect, this is what I
- 30:43Speaker 7: expect out of JC Horn. This is what I expect
- 30:46Speaker 7: to see out of Trey Merrig and different spots. So
- 30:49Speaker 7: as we continue to form that, as we continue to
- 30:51Speaker 7: work on it and stay the course on the improvement
- 30:54Speaker 7: we need, I believe we'll see this group continue to improve.
- 30:57Speaker 4: 704 number bone on the text line says, I'm not
- 31:00Speaker 4: handing out cookies until we get past Detroit and Philadelphia.
- 31:04Speaker 2: Well, guess what? We don't want your cookies.
- 31:06Speaker 3: All right.
- 31:06Speaker 2: We'll get our own cookies. I would agree. I don't
- 31:09Speaker 2: think there's any need for defensive cookies. I said it.
- 31:13Speaker 4: I don't think so. And even if they shut down Cleveland,
- 31:15Speaker 4: I don't think there's any need for it there. But
- 31:19Speaker 4: that's what we wanted. We wanted a demonstrative bounce back performance.
- 31:24Speaker 4: And that's what we got. So I was glad to
- 31:26Speaker 4: see it. How about we just live in a happy
- 31:29Speaker 4: space for a few days?
- 31:30Speaker 2: That's the thing.
- 31:32Speaker 5: I like having the thought, hey, there's an offense now
- 31:35Speaker 5: in the immediate that we can trust. Normally, Mac, it's, oh,
- 31:39Speaker 5: my God, can they get to 20 points? I'm not
- 31:42Speaker 5: saying they're going to average what they're averaging so far,
- 31:45Speaker 5: but now I feel like the offense has shown you
- 31:47Speaker 5: there's an ability there if the defense– isn't performing well
- 31:51Speaker 5: like against the bears the offense can still have a
- 31:54Speaker 5: day that we can honestly look and say hey the
- 31:57Speaker 5: offense had a day i'm looking at games like cleveland
- 32:00Speaker 5: i'm looking at detroit's game will the panthers defense shut
- 32:03Speaker 5: down detroit no that's a hard offense to stop but
- 32:05Speaker 5: do i think the offense now has the ability to
- 32:08Speaker 5: keep them in games before the offense wouldn't the offense
- 32:11Speaker 5: couldn't keep them in games now i think they can
- 32:14Speaker 5: only keep them in game take a window football Yeah,
- 32:15Speaker 5: that's a good point.
- 32:16Speaker 4: Like we went into the season kind of feeling like
- 32:19Speaker 4: the defense has to be top.
- 32:20Speaker 2: 10 to win the division.
- 32:22Speaker 4: Now we're looking at the way the offense is playing
- 32:25Speaker 4: up there on all those, you know, with all those
- 32:27Speaker 4: ridiculous statistical numbers bone that they have second in the league.
- 32:31Speaker 4: in points third in the league in yards and um
- 32:35Speaker 4: number one as a team in passing bryce is second
- 32:38Speaker 4: as an individual behind only tyler shuck in passing so
- 32:42Speaker 4: now to your point we're looking at it saying hold
- 32:44Speaker 4: on now maybe the pressure isn't on the defense to
- 32:46Speaker 4: carry the team.
- 32:47Speaker 5: Yeah you know the units don't have to be perfect
- 32:49Speaker 5: there's there's room now for there to be balance there
- 32:52Speaker 5: hasn't been.
- 32:52Speaker 4: Balance The no cookies before Detroit and Philly rule, though,
- 32:55Speaker 4: does not apply to the offense. We are giving them
- 32:57Speaker 4: all the cakes, the pies, the cookies. We are handing
- 33:00Speaker 4: out flowers. We're giving the offense everything.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Willies, cannolis.
- 33:04Speaker 4: God, we're excited. Isn't it kind of fun to actually
- 33:07Speaker 4: have an offense? Like, I saw a Florida media member say, hey,
- 33:13Speaker 4: Gator fans, aren't you kind of enjoying winning because of
- 33:16Speaker 4: your offense, actually? Because they've been offensively challenged for a
- 33:19Speaker 4: while down there, and I feel like we feel the
- 33:22Speaker 4: same way.
- 33:23Speaker 5: They've been challenged as I was down there being a fan.
- 33:26Speaker 5: Let's get Jake DeLome here. Because he was one of
- 33:29Speaker 5: the many media members who was chatting up about Bryce
- 33:34Speaker 5: Young and his amazing start to the season, Bone. And
- 33:38Speaker 5: this was Jake DeLome on Yahoo Sports Daily explaining why
- 33:41Speaker 5: he thinks Bryce in his fourth year has taken his
- 33:46Speaker 5: game to this level early on.
- 33:48Speaker 1: We want to rush these kids, these quarterbacks, into being
- 33:51Speaker 1: great right away. It takes time. And when we took
- 33:54Speaker 1: Bryce first overall.
- 33:55Speaker 9: A few years back, we were not a good football team.
- 33:58Speaker 9: We had to give up a number one receiver, DJ Moore,
- 34:01Speaker 9: to be able to get there. And it was just
- 34:03Speaker 9: one thing after another. Bryce had three play callers his
- 34:06Speaker 9: first year. And this team, there wasn't enough around him.
- 34:09Speaker 9: And I think it took a little while for him
- 34:11Speaker 9: to learn the game. And that's okay.
- 34:12Speaker 1: I think that's a normal progression for a quarterback. It
- 34:15Speaker 1: takes time sometimes.
- 34:16Speaker 3: But.
- 34:17Speaker 1: Love what he's been doing.
- 34:19Speaker 9: The last six games of the year last year, you
- 34:21Speaker 9: kind of, to me, I said, okay, it's someone getting comfortable.
- 34:25Speaker 9: And in going into this season, this training camp, I
- 34:28Speaker 9: thought he was really good. Didn't play much in the preseason,
- 34:32Speaker 9: but played pretty good against the Bears.
- 34:33Speaker 1: We put up a lot of points and we left
- 34:35Speaker 1: many points on the field, to be quite honest. And
- 34:37Speaker 1: he looked really good yesterday. That's complete ownership. Very young
- 34:40Speaker 1: receiving core. That's growing with him.
- 34:44Speaker 9: And I think you're going to continue to see Bryce
- 34:46Speaker 9: continue to play well.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Can I say something, Mac, about Jake? I love.
- 34:51Speaker 5: I know that if he was on a national broadcast,
- 34:53Speaker 5: it wouldn't go well. I love that... DeLome's a wee guy.
- 34:58Speaker 5: He does it on the preseason games when he's on
- 35:00Speaker 5: with us. I love the fact that DeLome still is
- 35:04Speaker 5: a wee guy in what this franchise means to him.
- 35:06Speaker 2: On national interviews, too. Actually, you know what? Keekly.
- 35:11Speaker 5: Keeley will do that, too, a lot. Not on national,
- 35:13Speaker 5: of course, but you'll hear him say we also. Does
- 35:15Speaker 5: he do it when he's on with Kay Adams? I
- 35:17Speaker 5: feel like he might, though.
- 35:18Speaker 2: He is a we guy. I feel like he might. Yeah,
- 35:19Speaker 2: they're both we guys. There's no bigger we guy.
- 35:22Speaker 4: What are you laughing at back there? There's no bigger
- 35:24Speaker 4: we guy in the history of we guys than me.
- 35:27Speaker 4: I mean, you know how many texts I've gotten in
- 35:29Speaker 4: 20-plus years of, why.
- 35:30Speaker 2: Are you saying we?
- 35:31Speaker 4: You don't play on the damn team. Why are you like,
- 35:33Speaker 4: because I'm sorry. That's I feel, you know, I feel
- 35:37Speaker 4: like I'm a part of it, man. If you can
- 35:39Speaker 4: make it through to Frank Reich, Matt rule years bone,
- 35:42Speaker 4: I feel like you deserve to we it.
- 35:44Speaker 2: You know, I try not to we, cause I don't
- 35:46Speaker 2: want to be the we brothers.
- 35:47Speaker 4: You know what I mean? I try not to we overweigh.
- 35:49Speaker 4: Now Fitties, you're really testing Fitties maturity. The amount of
- 35:53Speaker 4: times you said we.
- 35:55Speaker 5: All right we come back here on the mac and
- 35:56Speaker 5: bone radio program dave doran keeps trying to explain saturday's
- 36:01Speaker 5: debacle not getting any better ryan blaney with some honest
- 36:05Speaker 5: comments on his dust up with host of our at
- 36:08Speaker 5: bristol it's mac and bone sports radio 92 7.
- 36:11Speaker 2: We will be back.
- 36:27Speaker 8: You know, looking back on it, you know, I'd say
- 36:29Speaker 8: it's a 50-50. You know, I was wanting to protect
- 36:32Speaker 8: the bottom. He was wanting to get to the bottom
- 36:35Speaker 8: and was, you know, there late by a little bit.
- 36:37Speaker 8: And neither of us wanted to give. You know, I
- 36:40Speaker 8: wanted the bottom. He wanted there. And I ended up,
- 36:43Speaker 8: you know, getting turned. So really, I'd put it on
- 36:45Speaker 8: both parties. Like, I don't think, you know, he's not 100%
- 36:49Speaker 8: to blame. I'm not 100% to blame. I think it
- 36:51Speaker 8: was just two guys, like, fighting for the bottom at Bristol.
- 36:55Speaker 4: I thought Ryan Blaney, Bone, when he was on Actions Detrimental,
- 36:58Speaker 4: and that's what you heard part of it there with
- 37:00Speaker 4: Denny Hamlin, I thought he was pretty damn honest. I
- 37:04Speaker 4: thought he was pretty accountable. Now, don't worry, you'll hear
- 37:09Speaker 4: Fitty's opinion. Fitty hated everything he said. But I thought
- 37:12Speaker 4: he was pretty damn mature about things with Denny Hamlin yesterday.
- 37:16Speaker 4: And I think part of the maturity right there is
- 37:18Speaker 4: him acknowledging what I was trying to explain to Fitty.
- 37:21Speaker 2: And that was our first of 14 dust-ups yesterday.
- 37:24Speaker 4: But I was just simply trying to explain that you
- 37:26Speaker 4: get a championship on the line and you throw that
- 37:29Speaker 4: car in front of.
- 37:31Speaker 2: Carson Hosovar at Bristol. You're asking to be spun. You
- 37:36Speaker 2: know what I mean?
- 37:37Speaker 4: Like, there are plenty of drivers you can throw the
- 37:38Speaker 4: car in front of like that bone and block.
- 37:41Speaker 5: But you get in front of that Maytag machine, you're
- 37:43Speaker 5: going to spin it. In front of that thing. Yeah.
- 37:48Speaker 2: So that was my point.
- 37:50Speaker 4: And I think now that he has settled down, I
- 37:52Speaker 4: think he's kind of realized that. So that was kind
- 37:58Speaker 4: of my point on that one. You also realize, too,
- 38:00Speaker 4: like he... His reputation, he being Blaney, is not really
- 38:05Speaker 4: a fighter back. He's a good dude, and he gets
- 38:07Speaker 4: in a fight so that once he settled down, he
- 38:10Speaker 4: started to hear the accountability about getting his ass whooped.
- 38:13Speaker 4: Catching two pieces and all that. Oh, you got that
- 38:15Speaker 4: right here? That's what we're getting ready to hear. I
- 38:17Speaker 4: thought it might be part of it. I was doing
- 38:19Speaker 4: something when I came in here. That's what we're getting
- 38:20Speaker 4: ready to hear next is him talking about him going over,
- 38:24Speaker 4: confronting Josevar after the race.
- 38:26Speaker 2: And he made the first contact. He kind of patted
- 38:28Speaker 2: him in the chest. And Josevar said, oh, we're doing
- 38:30Speaker 2: physical contact. Bang, bang. But this is what Ryan Blaney
- 38:34Speaker 2: said about that.
- 38:36Speaker 8: You know, there are things that I regret. I try
- 38:37Speaker 8: to set a good example for kids who are watching,
- 38:40Speaker 8: who are fans, their parents who are allowing these kids
- 38:43Speaker 8: to watch races and root for their driver. And I
- 38:46Speaker 8: try to act a certain way to what a kid
- 38:49Speaker 8: would want to look up to. And I look back
- 38:51Speaker 8: on those things and I definitely regret the way I acted.
- 38:54Speaker 8: You know, that's really unlike me, but I was just,
- 38:56Speaker 8: It's just frustrating. You just do these things. Usually your
- 38:59Speaker 8: rage is just on the radio. Yeah, and then I
- 39:01Speaker 8: calm down. And then you become very calm outside. So
- 39:04Speaker 8: that's why it was weird to me because I was
- 39:06Speaker 8: opposite of what I normally was. I was calm initially
- 39:09Speaker 8: and ramped up after the race to where I'm usually
- 39:11Speaker 8: kind of ramped up initially and then calm after the race.
- 39:14Speaker 8: But I wish I wouldn't have done that. I wish
- 39:16Speaker 8: I would have gone about it a different way from
- 39:17Speaker 8: people watching and I don't ever want to set a
- 39:19Speaker 8: bad example. And I'll be honest with you. Yeah, I
- 39:22Speaker 8: went over there and I got my ass kicked for sure.
- 39:25Speaker 8: I got, I got, I ate a two piece and,
- 39:27Speaker 8: you know, got tagged pretty good, but you know, I
- 39:31Speaker 8: just wanted to show my displeasure.
- 39:33Speaker 4: See, I listened to that and I'm just like, how
- 39:36Speaker 4: can you not think this dude is all class? How
- 39:39Speaker 4: many dudes sit there and make light of them getting
- 39:41Speaker 4: their ass kicked like that?
- 39:41Speaker 2: Exactly. Like after a fight, two days after a fight.
- 39:44Speaker 4: Now, Finney, on the other hand, for some reason, Bone,
- 39:47Speaker 4: is angered by those two clips of Ryan Blaney. Normally, Finney,
- 39:50Speaker 4: you like a two-piece. Was he too nice? Was he
- 39:55Speaker 4: too classy for you, Finney?
- 39:57Speaker 2: Yes, 100%.
- 39:57Speaker 6: Matt, because I look at this moment. As much as
- 40:03Speaker 6: I love what it means for NASCAR at that track,
- 40:06Speaker 6: it's Bristol, baby. It feels like Blaney's one of the
- 40:11Speaker 6: guys that can help police the way Carson Hosovar races.
- 40:16Speaker 6: And I believe that something has to be done. And
- 40:18Speaker 6: I'd rather the drivers police it on the track. then
- 40:21Speaker 6: NASCAR police it off it. He also only regrets that
- 40:24Speaker 6: he went over there because he got his ass kicked.
- 40:26Speaker 2: Well, that'll do it. That'll make you regret it.
- 40:28Speaker 6: If he goes over there and Carson isn't ready and
- 40:31Speaker 6: he hits him with a two-piece, is he going on
- 40:34Speaker 6: Hamlin's podcast?
- 40:35Speaker 2: I believe so.
- 40:36Speaker 6: You think so? He's not that sort of dude. Maybe
- 40:39Speaker 6: Blaney is that good of a guy. I know Stroh
- 40:41Speaker 6: has a relationship with his family.
- 40:42Speaker 4: He's not that sort of dude. He doesn't want to
- 40:44Speaker 4: really fight. And he maintains he was not going over
- 40:47Speaker 4: there to swing. He was going over there to have
- 40:49Speaker 4: a stern conversation. with a little shove.
- 40:53Speaker 5: I believe that Blaney values his reputation of who he is,
- 40:57Speaker 5: so I don't think he'd be proud of knocking Hosvar
- 41:01Speaker 5: in the face and winning the fight.
- 41:02Speaker 6: Maybe I just wanted that to happen as someone that
- 41:06Speaker 6: is not... I don't hate Carson.
- 41:08Speaker 2: Not obviously his biggest fan. I mean, he's annoying.
- 41:11Speaker 6: I don't know, but Blaney's like... I don't want to
- 41:15Speaker 6: say he's this generation's Earnhardt. He's a racer's racer.
- 41:21Speaker 2: And I don't know.
- 41:24Speaker 6: Would Earnhardt have apologized for doing something like that?
- 41:27Speaker 2: No, he's not Dale Earnhardt, though. He's completely different.
- 41:29Speaker 1: Than Dale Earnhardt.
- 41:29Speaker 2: Would Kyle Busch have apologized for doing something like that? No,
- 41:32Speaker 2: he's not Kyle Busch.
- 41:32Speaker 4: He's completely, God rest his soul, he's completely different. He's
- 41:35Speaker 4: a different personality. Denny Hamlin described him perfectly. Rage on
- 41:39Speaker 4: the radio, and you've heard it. You've heard it.
- 41:42Speaker 2: Rage on the radio. Out of the car.
- 41:44Speaker 4: Chills out a little bit. Also, he's got a child now.
- 41:48Speaker 4: He's probably thinking of his father.
- 41:49Speaker 2: So I don't know.
- 41:51Speaker 4: I think the guy's mature. And I guess everybody can
- 41:54Speaker 4: decide as a fan. Do you like maturity?
- 41:57Speaker 2: Here's my question for you. We had the moment. We
- 41:59Speaker 2: had the moment, man. It was great.
- 42:00Speaker 6: He's 52 points out of first place. There's still seven
- 42:04Speaker 6: races to go. Is, is there enough time for him to,
- 42:09Speaker 6: because like Mac, I thought he was a championship favorite.
- 42:12Speaker 6: When I watched him get wrecked, I thought we just
- 42:14Speaker 6: watched a title favorite get wrecked by a guy that
- 42:17Speaker 6: has wrecked half.
- 42:18Speaker 2: The damn field.
- 42:19Speaker 4: He's going to need a lot of other people to
- 42:20Speaker 4: have trouble, which can happen.
- 42:21Speaker 2: Which can happen.
- 42:22Speaker 5: He did get his ass beat by a MAGA driver
- 42:25Speaker 5: that has appeared at the Met Gala.
- 42:26Speaker 4: That's also a candy gift for the resume. This texter says,
- 42:30Speaker 4: I would have put money on Blaney's mustache. That's trigonometry.
- 42:37Speaker 4: Derek says Blaney's like Keekly. 704 number says, Blaney got
- 42:42Speaker 4: hit so hard his mustache went flying.
- 42:44Speaker 5: What if we found out during this whole thing? What
- 42:46Speaker 5: if Hozovar ripped off his mustache and it's fake? That
- 42:49Speaker 5: would have been a problem.
- 42:50Speaker 4: Blaney also said something that I thought is cool. Most
- 42:53Speaker 4: of these guys that try to act tough. After the
- 42:56Speaker 4: race and confrontation, they're not really that tough. Most guys
- 42:59Speaker 4: bring their crew over with them. He said, I didn't
- 43:00Speaker 4: even tell any of my crew members I was going
- 43:02Speaker 4: over there. I just went over there, wanted to be
- 43:03Speaker 4: man to man. And so they had to find out, oh, shoot,
- 43:06Speaker 4: look what's happening. Meanwhile, Josevar has his crew there, and
- 43:10Speaker 4: one of the crew guys tackled Blaney after he takes
- 43:12Speaker 4: a two-piece.
- 43:13Speaker 5: Let's get to the big crew guy, by the way,
- 43:16Speaker 5: bringing Flounder over with him. Oh, big time. Big time.
- 43:18Speaker 2: Let's get to Dave Doran. I'm not sure.
- 43:20Speaker 4: Did Ryan Blaney make everybody understand it better? What do
- 43:23Speaker 4: you think of Ryan Blaney? Now let's get to Dave Doran.
- 43:26Speaker 4: I'm not sure there's anything he can say bone to
- 43:29Speaker 4: make things better for state fans. They're already tired of
- 43:34Speaker 4: just kind of being. In the Dave Dorn era, they're
- 43:37Speaker 4: tired of losing games in frustrating ways. They had a
- 43:40Speaker 4: 17-point lead in the game, and then that happens. But
- 43:44Speaker 4: this was Dave Dorn yesterday. Kind of expand a little bit, Bone,
- 43:47Speaker 4: on who is taking responsibility for what happened with the
- 43:54Speaker 4: fumble and the loss in the final seconds.
- 43:57Speaker 10: We practice those plays every Friday. We have a lot
- 44:01Speaker 10: of time spent on game-ending plays. It's tough because we
- 44:06Speaker 10: were prepared for the moment and we just didn't execute
- 44:10Speaker 10: in that moment. When a play isn't executed properly, there's
- 44:13Speaker 10: two things that are true. The player didn't do what
- 44:18Speaker 10: he was coached or trained to do and the coach
- 44:23Speaker 10: didn't do a good enough job training the player to
- 44:26Speaker 10: do what he wanted them to do. Both of those
- 44:28Speaker 10: things are true. Like I said after the game, it's
- 44:32Speaker 10: CJ takes ownership, I take ownership, Kurt Roper takes ownership,
- 44:36Speaker 10: we take ownership. It's a terrible way to end a
- 44:39Speaker 10: football game that you controlled.
- 44:41Speaker 4: So there you go, everybody. Now Bone, he has said
- 44:45Speaker 4: we practiced it, but we didn't do a good enough
- 44:49Speaker 4: job of explaining and coaching it, and CJ Bailey didn't
- 44:53Speaker 4: do a good enough job of doing what we were
- 44:54Speaker 4: telling him. Even Kurt Roper's got blame now. So he's,
- 44:59Speaker 4: I mean, there's nothing he can say.
- 45:01Speaker 5: You know, it's one of the most unexplainable plays that
- 45:04Speaker 5: he has to keep trying to explain. At some point,
- 45:07Speaker 5: just say, look, we all messed up. We're all dumb
- 45:11Speaker 5: in this case. It's a bad play. You all know
- 45:14Speaker 5: it's a bad play. The world knows it's a bad play.
- 45:16Speaker 5: Let's move on to App State. I'm not going to
- 45:18Speaker 5: explain it anymore. You all saw what happened. There's no
- 45:20Speaker 5: excuse for any of us involved. Let's just move on.
- 45:23Speaker 2: We're on to App State.
- 45:24Speaker 4: And App State fans, Bone, it didn't take them long
- 45:26Speaker 4: yesterday morning to start saying, I think we got.
- 45:29Speaker 2: A shot to beat State. I don't know. It's going
- 45:31Speaker 2: to be a fun matchup. It's going to be a
- 45:33Speaker 2: fun lead up, man. It will be.
- 45:34Speaker 5: But I would think, Mac, if NC State's not motivated
- 45:37Speaker 5: in this game at home to come back. And, and
- 45:41Speaker 5: I'm not saying it do exactly what they did to Richmond,
- 45:43Speaker 5: because obviously it's a different than opponent, but if they,
- 45:46Speaker 5: if Dave Dorn can't have this team ready for this game,
- 45:49Speaker 5: then maybe it is over for him. There's, this is
- 45:52Speaker 5: just built in angst to go out there. And, and,
- 45:56Speaker 5: It's angst from the NC State side, and you're playing
- 45:58Speaker 5: a team that is local that you know you should
- 46:01Speaker 5: be up for, never mind what you're coming off of.
- 46:05Speaker 5: State better come out and really thump App State this week.
- 46:07Speaker 5: I'm not saying from my point of view. I'm just
- 46:09Speaker 5: saying if you're a state person, you've got to see something.
- 46:11Speaker 4: You've got to see a response, and you did see
- 46:13Speaker 4: a response against Richmond, but now you've got to respond
- 46:15Speaker 4: to something else that's horrible, another horrible loss in a
- 46:18Speaker 4: different way. I feel like usually often in these matchups, Bone,
- 46:22Speaker 4: the Power 4 school will overlook this. the group of five.
- 46:26Speaker 4: You know what I mean? They won't be, maybe not overlooked,
- 46:29Speaker 4: but won't be quite as fired up. Like when App
- 46:31Speaker 4: State goes to play NC State, those boys are ready. Right?
- 46:36Speaker 6: Yes.
- 46:37Speaker 4: Y'all were recruited over me. These schools, these power schools
- 46:40Speaker 4: didn't want me in this state. They go in with
- 46:42Speaker 4: a chip on their shoulder. NC State, to your point,
- 46:45Speaker 4: might actually match that chip for different reasons. I do
- 46:49Speaker 4: want to mention the online drama involving C.J. Bailey's mom.
- 46:53Speaker 4: She has since deleted a tweet that she sent out. But,
- 46:57Speaker 4: of course, because I guess now did someone say this
- 47:02Speaker 4: directly to her on social or was she just kind
- 47:05Speaker 4: of searching?
- 47:06Speaker 5: She was responding to a— I mean, double-check the wording here.
- 47:11Speaker 5: She was responding to an NC State fan account that
- 47:14Speaker 5: wanted CJ benched for the fumble against Vanderbilt.
- 47:17Speaker 2: I guess we don't know the answer. Yeah, I can't tell.
- 47:20Speaker 4: Whether somebody— I' m guessing maybe she was searching and saw— whatever. She is,
- 47:26Speaker 4: you know, a parent, and it's got to be really hard-boned.
- 47:29Speaker 4: to read this kind of stuff about your parents or
- 47:31Speaker 4: about your kids. It's going to be really freaking hard.
- 47:34Speaker 4: So you see this a lot. Parents lash out in
- 47:36Speaker 4: the social media age. So she responded to him and
- 47:40Speaker 4: based it to the fan and basically said, CJ should
- 47:44Speaker 4: have left for more money when he had the chance
- 47:46Speaker 4: in the off season. She has since deleted that. Probably
- 47:50Speaker 4: a good idea to delete it. It's an ugly situation.
- 47:53Speaker 4: He played so good in that game, but I don't
- 47:57Speaker 4: understand how he made this mistake with all the experience
- 48:01Speaker 4: he has. When they practiced it, I have no idea
- 48:05Speaker 4: how he can do this.
- 48:05Speaker 5: Concepcion came back, and then he had a disgruntled year
- 48:09Speaker 5: as well. Remember off the great freshman year? He came back,
- 48:13Speaker 5: and then he was... uh not enamored with everything going
- 48:16Speaker 5: on so i'm not saying it's the exact same reasons
- 48:18Speaker 5: why but uh it's another guy coming back and we're
- 48:21Speaker 5: hearing you know maybe he wanted to go elsewhere but
- 48:24Speaker 5: he didn't so by the way picante went cj bailey
- 48:28Speaker 5: uh cut okay he must have lost money on that Also,
- 48:33Speaker 5: let's not forget, I think it was the next year after,
- 48:36Speaker 5: but App State sort of sent a, not the death blow,
- 48:41Speaker 5: but when they beat South Carolina in 2019, Muschamp never
- 48:46Speaker 5: really recovered from that down there. That was kind of
- 48:49Speaker 5: the beginning of the end for Muschamp at South Carolina.
- 48:52Speaker 5: It was a year later, but they never got over
- 48:54Speaker 5: that one.
- 48:57Speaker 4: You're saying they can start putting a nail in Doran's coffin?
- 49:00Speaker 2: You lose this game, Indy.
- 49:02Speaker 1: Oh, God.
- 49:03Speaker 2: Oh, God. Look out.
- 49:04Speaker 4: When we come back here on the Mac and Bone Show,
- 49:06Speaker 4: Panther Nation is fired up about the offense. Should we
- 49:10Speaker 4: be starting to believe they can be a top 10 group?
- 49:14Speaker 4: Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
