• 1:50
  Speaker 2: thing I gotta say about how about our How about

• 2:01
  Speaker 2: That's great. But that absolutely But hey, camp is I say,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: we're on schedule. Uh, you know, we're in school, so
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: we're getting into that routine. Had our first week of
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: school this week. We're we are identity trying to find
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: our identity. What's that, what's that going? What's that looks like?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And uh, the guys have worked very hard. You know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: we have our last kind of big scimmage this coming Saturday.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: We've had one to this point. You know, our depth
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: charts not quite set. We've got to get some situations
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: handled this Saturday. But I really like this team. We
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: have got a collection a great student some really good
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: student athletes. The stats excited. Uh, it's really.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: Inspiring, coach.
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: How different will the offense look with the revamped offensive
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: line and all the new faces in the backfield for you.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're offensive defense with like two different sets defensively
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: return you know, a fair amount of experience and starters.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Offensively is a total rebuild. So specifically to your question, again,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: we have it's gonna be a lot of new faces.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I mean probably two guys that played stat snap for us. Uh.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: The quarterback situation, we'll see how that plays out. I
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: really like where Cole's at. Connor's coming off that injury,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: he's not quite ready, Graton's taking reps. I like Jayalen White,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: a true freshman. All right, running back room probably going
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to be by committee. I think we've got three got
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: three or four guys that you're going to see there.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I think we've got some explosive guys on the edge.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: But hey, everybody knows it's not it's not it's not
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: rocket scientists, but we got to score more points. We've
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: got to be more productive. I think, you know, we
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: put ourselves in position as far as from a talent piece,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: talent acquisition, we're in a much better place. We've got
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: to stay healthy. I'm concerned about our but I think
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: every coach in America is going to be concerned about
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: depth with with the portal and how things work out
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: these days. But hey again, I think we're gonna have
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: some some explosives. It's explosive players on the field that's
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: gonna be make some play for step down the field.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: We're talking with Tim Abbot, head coach at Charlotte forty
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: nine ers. They open against the Citadel on September fifth.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: We are just two weeks away from week one, heck,
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: week zero with a couple of in state teams next week.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: So we are we are here, all right. So the
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: quarterback situation, Coach, you mentioned a couple of you mentioned
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: some of the guys there, So did it does it not?
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Is is Cole Gonzalez? Is his status? Because I know
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: he's been spending a lot of time running that first team.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: He's a kid who's been at Western, He's been at Pittsburgh.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: He's got talent, Is it not? As like? Is that settled?
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: Is he the starter for week one? How's how's that
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: shaping out?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I appreciate the question. I'm not I'm not ready
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to say who the starter is gonna be. It's not.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: But everything that you said is care wrecked. He's taking
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: most of the reps with the ones. I just want
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to I want to get through this this this weekend
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: and see where we're at. But but I but again,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I like where he's at. You know, here's a situation.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: We we did some high red stuff work on on Tuesday,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: you know, we and we uh called a couple to
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: take a shot, and uh, we got the right coverage,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: but the guy was covered and Paul tried to get
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: it in there, and and I'd like for hey, the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: next the next process of that is going to be, Hey,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: they covered a shot, let's check it down, let's make
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: let's move the chains at three or four yards and
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: move on to second down. I like to see him
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: have some growth in that type of situation this Saturday,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: as opposed to earlier in the week. But he's a
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: he's a gunslinger. Now, I mean, there's you're gonna like,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, what are we doing? And then then
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: we're gonna be screaming, go, go go, you know. So
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: but he I mean, hey, he's he's a freaking gun slinger.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Uh and and he's it's gonna be exciting for our fans.
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: Coach, when it comes to the leadership of your team
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: here in your second year, who's a Who's a player
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: or two that you would to as really the guys
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: you want to lead this program, uh to better days.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's funny you asked that our our
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: captain applications went out yesterday. So to be a captain
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: on our football team, you have to apply and and
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: we get we give it to all of our staff
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and we read them, you know, and the players get
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a chance to read them, and then we vote.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: But but to specifically to your question, I think some
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: of the usual suspects guys that played last year on defense, uh,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you know, Jayden Johnson, Cayden Smith's, uh you know, a
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: ton of reps.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: C J.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Kling still you know, started almost every game at corner
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: on defense. Offensively, Connor Returns and I will say he
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: was the highest vote. Ginner a year ago. You know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: he does an unbelievable job leading, you know, and then
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: and then you got like guys like uh, Derrick Ealy
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: was with me at media day, you know. And so
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: it'll be interesting how that shakes out this from a
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: vote standpoint. But the names I mentioned are proving guys
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: in our in our in our in our program. You know,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: there's we return fifty two guys I me a year ago.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: They know what takes here and so we'll see how
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: it shakes out as far as the vote goes. But
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: we got some guys that can do can lead for sure.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: Coach.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: A lot of times when we talk to Charlotte fans
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: that are out there listening about hey, what to expect
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: moving forward under coach Albin, we go back to what
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: you did at Ohio where you built something right, Like
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: your first year you win three and then it's three
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: straight ten win seasons. So you can build something at Charlotte.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of you know, I think we're hopeful.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Can coach go to building again? Is it harder now?
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, I know you got to Ohio in twenty
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: twenty one one, that long ago, but my got how
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: things change rapidly is it harder now to build because
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: of the comings and goings the guys that lead Even
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: then you've got to bring more portal people in. Then
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: there's the nil space. Or do you feel confident like
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: I can do what we did at Ohio here?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously, you know that's that's a tough question.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say it is tougher in these times. Yeah,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: we want to be we want to be a developmental program,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: you know, and recruit a student athlete. He's here for
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: eighteen months, he gets bigger, faster, strongers because we have
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the best, we have some great resources here at Charlotte.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: And then he plays one season and a needs you know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: a good chance he could leave, and and so that
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: with that environment, it is more challenging. But I will
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: say from year one and I call it year zero,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: but it's technically year one to where we are now.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: You know, we've got building blocks. First, the first class,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: we signed three HIGHSOL kids, okay, because it is all portal.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Seventy five guys were gone that whole thing this year.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: This in December, we signed nineteen ISISO kids. That's the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: start at the building block, that's the foundation, you know,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: peace sixteen of the nineteen. We're here for spring practice,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: and so they're going through Faul camp and they know
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the system. That is a huge piece right there. So
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I think it can be done. It's challenging. The hardest
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: piece is gonna be retention of your building blocks after
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: they get after they get filmed. That's gonna be. That's
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: gonna be the deciding factor. And I'm just gonna say it,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: that's gonna BEI what is your rep share? And you
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: know that's that's just where it's at. I'm not it's
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: on some plant. It's just what it is. But hey, yes,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: we want to build. We're going to be I want
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: those guys to get a degree. They're the next wave
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: of alumni of Charlotte. I mean, there's so many wonderful
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: alumni in this area and we have one hundred ninety
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: thousand alumni within two hours of campus. But I'm a
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: firm believer ninety percent of your are guys that graduate here,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: stay in the area, and they're going to be the
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: future leaders of the Queen City. And that's exciting for
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: not only our fan baseball administration and what we want
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: to build.
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, Coach, before you go, we wanted to ask you
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: because it's been a big deal on the show and nationally.
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: Do you have any thoughts on the fifth.
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: Year chaos right now to where we have NFL players
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: playing in preseason games now trying to go back to
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: college football. What are your thoughts on this latest chaos
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: in the college football world.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Tim Alvin's opinion is it is I'm not a fan.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: It's unfortunate. You know, one, one or two judges from
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: from wherever is making this, causing this chaos with the
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: int double a. I say coaches should not do it. Uh,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: it's just what it is. Uh, it's it's a mess,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: and the judges are the reason for it. That's why
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: we have got to the past legislation to keep this
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: from happening and give the inscidible the power to say
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: to say something and this you know, hey, these are
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the rules. Follow them.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: Yep, no doubt, no doubt. Coach, we appreciate it.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: I know Niner fans are looking forward to seeing what
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: the year brings for you guys. Thanks so much for
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: coming on, coach.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Thanks love, guys, Go Niners Day coach.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Niners coach Tim Alban joining us here on the MAC
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: and Bone.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: See what an easy guy to root for. Also about
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: it life. It seems like such a good guy. I
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: want this to work out for him.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Here trying and you know it and again you go
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: back to you know he can build something, you saw
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: it in Ohio. But I like the fact he just
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: openly admits, yeah, it's harder to build. It's harder to
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: build with what we have going on. And he brought
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: up retaining your players, and I was looking this up
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Bony last. I wanted to look up Charlotte app and ECU.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: We've got Dal Loggins on on Monday. You're working on
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Blake Harrol. We're gonna start the next the next like
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: five days. There's gonna be more and more talk trying,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: you know about these schools, because I know we've been
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: talking more about the power for ones into Carolinas. And
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: I was looking up Charlotte lost six six of their
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: transfers are transferred away. I think it was like twenty
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: one or so total or twenty four total. They lost
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: six of them are to Power four schools. To coaches point,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: it's pretty hard to retain them. When the Power four
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: schools are looking ECU Bone, it's ten ten it's some
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: real good ones, right, howser Poku.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: I mean these guys are studs.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: The riddle kid that's the four star safety to stay
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: at Georgia app eight of them transferred to it. Like,
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: that's my fear for these power these group of six schools.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: If you have players that are good enough to get
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: the attention, how do you keep them? If the Power
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: four comes knocking? That's gonna be a bit. It just sucks.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: That's gonna be a big challenge for Wes Miller. Also,
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: by the way, in the basketball second hunt, because I
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: think he's going to get them better. I think he's
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: gonna bring in better players. I think they're gonna be
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: more of a factor than they've been Mack in the
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: last couple of decades. The problem's gonna be kids here,
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: gonna have to reinvent the roster every single year. That
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: might be an issue, no doubt about it. He probably will. Yeah,
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: he may get some good players in there. But we
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: saw Matt, we saw Aaron Fern lose two or three
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: good players. Oh, we're gonna lose.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: When they made that run right, Like, I forget what
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: year that was, but they made that run bone and
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: they played the.
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: Head and went they won to see the CBI or
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: they did, they did, they got they got plucked. Their
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: key guys got plucked. I would say their big Tennessee, Minnesota,
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: Iowa State. Yeah, so that's just Hey, I hated the
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: guard went to Minnesota. Way, a top eighty basketball recruit
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: while we're talking about it, has listed Charlotte as his
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: top seven. They forced on to go west. That's that's
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: progress right there, you go go there. I'm excited about
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: Wes Miller coach Alvin. It's he's a he's a real
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: good coach. But in this situation, does he have enough funds?
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: Is it going to work out in Charlotte.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: I know they've upped the fundage over there significantly, so
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: I think that makes you hopeful. But man, I don't
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: envy these guys coaching the group of six like it
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: just it seems like it's a tough job to do.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: When we come back, Matt Berry, sec Nation, ESPN's college
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: football guru, will join us to preview the season. We'll
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: talk about all this stuff going on also with the
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: NCAA as well. Matt Berry's next Sports Radio ninety two
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: Steven WFNZ.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Sports Radio ninety two seven wfn Z. Now that I've
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: gotten all, Now that we've gotten all the Charlotte app
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: and ECU fans depressed about the state of Group of
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: six football. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I ruined your Friday,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: but uh, and I'm pulling for I ruined your football party, Janney.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: I I've rooting for all of them, man, I really am.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: But I just it seems like it's really making it tough.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: You've got new coaches at all those schools, you know
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: what I mean, And I think there's uncertainty there. I
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: will say this, Blake Harrol's start has been and amazing.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: It has been amazing. Now he's really gonna be tested
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: here because of the ten players bone that they lost
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: the power for schools. They were some ballers, man. But
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: he has started like he looks like he like you
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like he looks like he's up.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: To the test. They lost their oc as well too, though.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, so there's just uncertainty with all these programs
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: going into the season.
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: Think about the hype of ECU and the playoffs if
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: they got their quarterback back, Like, think about that team
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: playing Alabama the first game the playoff hype.
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: I do believe would be.
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: There, but it's hard when you're ECU and if you
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: have a successful run like they're starting to have, well,
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: then guess what the quarterback is probably gonna go.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Do it consistently, right Like, that's the thing, to do
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: it consistently and to be able to Like when you
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: do have a good year nine to four last year
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: and you get poached, can you do it again? It's
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: hard to make. And then when your coach leaves, oh
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: my god, all bets are off. North Texas now is
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: predicted to be one of the worst because their coach,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: bone Eric Morris, took mess to maker and so many
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: of his players don't Weloma State Wood. That's the thing. Now,
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: that's another thing that happened.
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: Coaches will take most of their roster with the book
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: at your Penn State team, which is now Iowa State, uh,
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: Iowa State, well, Iowa State East.
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: I guess yes, it is Tulane. Some geography that out
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: some roll.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: In Tulane expected not to be the same because he
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: took a lot of players, so it's just headaches for them.
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: Sometimes sometimes Miami takes your players. You know, you win
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: the ACC next thing. You know, you're a target on
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: your back.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: It all comes back to that for Bone, that faithful
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: day with literally like an hour or two left in
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: the portal at Miami, just snatches too.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: Mens two said he was back. That's the problem. Oh
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: that was bad. There was a video. There was a
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: video boat once.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: You you know that should be a rule in the
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: n cuale A. Once you video your return, you gotta
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: come back.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: But you know what would happen if they made that
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: a role with that, someone would challenge it in court.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: Boybody would lose.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: Anyway, our next over, men, even though I'm not, it
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: doesn't bother me. I could tell you've got our Santos
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: a state. I can tell clearly you've moved on mentally.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: All right, our next guest, I know he's ready for
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: college football season, and hopefully Bone, along with the court's
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: the the court breakdowns and a five year eligibility chat,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: we can work in some actual football talk with Matt
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Matt Barry ESPN. He joins is gonna be hosting SEC
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Nation on the SEC Network this year too, so that's
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: big for him, and he joins us here on the
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Mac and Bone Show.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: Matt what's going on?
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: How you doing?
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Gentlemen?
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Happy football season? How everybody doing?
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: We're doing great? Brother, I know you, good good luck
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: to you.
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: You not have to beat Paul Fivebam's bodyguard when fed
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: bases are not at him every week.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, there's a lot of people I'm
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: gonna have to take care of this fall between him
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: and t Bow. We got another rookie in case, Daniel,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: So there's gonna be a lot of babysitting with all
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: of us going on. But what works out to play?
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: You got your hands full, no doubt about it. Well,
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: let's okay, so let's get this out of the way
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: and then we can get into actually talking about the teams,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: because man, we're a week from week zero, for God's sakes,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: but this fifth year eligibility stuff is just insane, Like
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: it might even be the craziest part yet right of
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: all the mess. What do you think about? What do
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: you think about this happening? And you've got guys, I mean,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: like I saw Pete Amil's quote where he says he's
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: talking to a college football personnel guy that says, I
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: can't believe I'm doing this. I'm watching last week's week
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: one of preseason. To look at guys that are now
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: entering the portal like, it's just insanity.
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: Matt Yeah.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Three part stupidity. I said this on Sports Center last night.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Stupidity Part number one is just allowing these courtrooms to
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: decide college football. That's just an absolute joke. Part two,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: guys that go off to the NFL, you're gone, you
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: moved on from college. You're out, you signed with the team,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you're in training camp. In Part three, all these coaches, administrators,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: they keep bitching and moaning about all these changes. Well,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: it's not hard. Don't sign the guy that's in the NFL.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: It's that big of a problem for everybody. Just don't
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: do it. And the second people start coming together and saying, hey,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: we're against this, then maybe it'll calm down a little bit.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: And that's the biggest problem. That's the problem with NIL.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: You've got these guys complaining like, oh, they're doing well,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: then theyn't pay the quarterback four million. If you're so
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: against it, quit doing it. And so look this, to me,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: of all the garbage that's going on in college football
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: over the past two to three years, this one is
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the one that I think to break the system.
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: I really believe that feels like this one too. A
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: lot of times we talk about how teflo on the
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: sport is in the fans eyes. Feels like when you
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: start to do stuff like this, it's never going to
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: be dented to the point of people not giving it
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: ratings and the love that it gets. But man, this
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: is one where you think this is really good. If
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: you're gonna have guys are in the pros, then they're
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: throwing out tape. They're throwing out tape for colleges. Now
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: that's going to cause a rift there with the fans
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: here at some point, here's here's one for.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: You, and and I think people are naive if they
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: don't believe this for one second. People are saying, well, oh,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: you know twenty twenty two is the last class get
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: then do that? Okay, fine, what have we learned about
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: the courts? Theyn't do anything against the NCAA. So what's
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: stopping a guy from twenty twenty one or twenty twenty saying, Hey,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I was forced out. I technically have a year of
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: eligibility left. You don't think the courts are going to
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: rule it for them, like there is no world where
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I was joking around here stand again on sports. There's
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: no world where Joe Burrow just gets bored with the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Bengals and he's like, you know what, I had an
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: extra year left, I was forced out. I'd like to
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: go play for Texans.
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: Hey, you have two quarterbacks you're working with, Daniel and Tebow.
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: You might was one of those guys in the middle
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: of a segment.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Where does it stop? Where does
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: it end?
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and that you brought it up.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: It's like it's it's even the stuff that seems like
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: it makes no sense, someone can find a judge somewhere
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: to tell you that's that's okay.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: You can do that.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Even even your guy, our mutual friend Tom lougan Bilt
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: was on College Football Live yesterday. Matt loosen it up
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: his arm, say, I only played by four years. In
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: four years, what's to stop me from somewhere I'd like
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: to actually moves out there. Oh god, all right, let's
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: talk about the games. Let's talk some college football. Matt Berry,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: ESPN SEC Network is with us. What do you who
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: do you think is the class of college football this year?
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: It's like top give me like top three teams, because
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: I feel like there's a group of about seven that
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: kind of get debated pretty heavily.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Heavenly top three probably, Shoot, that's tough for three, but
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I'd say you could lump Ohio State and Oregon into
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: one of them. I think you could put Georgia in
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Texas into two of them, and then not Dame is three.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I think there are about five equal. Okay, yeah, I
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: think they're pretty equal. I think Miami's gonna be a
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: problem for a lot of people. But the reason you
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: say seven is because that's what it is. I mean,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Ohio State got Jeremiah Smith, Julians stayin, They've got this
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Christianity junior kid that's lighted it up in camp. That's
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: all well and good, but they also lost eleven guys
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: to the NFL Draft, seven of them on defense, four
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: of them in the first thirty picks. And so while
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: they've got the offensive back of while Ryan Day reloads,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I'm all in on that, but when you lose four
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: of your starters on defense in the top thirty and
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: then seven overall, it's going to take him innute to
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: replace him and get him in. So that's why appoint
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to week two at Texas, you know, so you could
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: see the number one team fall Week two and then
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Oregon probably the most balanced, but then they lose a
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: guy like Kenyon Sadiq to the NFL. So everybody's losing
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: someone and that's why I think you're starting to see
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: about five to eight teams now have a claim and
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Notre Dames. Notre Dame. People love Notre Dame and I
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna be great too. But Jadarian Price and
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love two first round picks in the NFL draft.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: That running back you think you're just gonna throw someone
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: in there, and so you just got to find the
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: teams that have solidified in spots that are easy to
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: replace in some others.
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: Matt sec question, if the consensus is that Georgia and
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: Texas are the two best teams entering the season in
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: the conference, who do you like in that third spot
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: right now?
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Look, it's a league where you could argue Texas as
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the most talented team in the country. You mentioned Georgia,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be really, really good, and then there's a fight.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: There's a fight for LSU, there's a fight for Texas
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: A and m I mean, there are teams that are
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: out there. Alabama, fis Keilon Russell kids as good as
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: people are saying they could be up there, don't forget
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: about them. I mean, so, there are a lot of
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: schools within that league. I'm just telling you right now.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: With LSU if Lane Kissing, who in my mind, is
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: one of the better developers of immediate talent in the country,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: if he gets that thing figured out, there isn't anyone
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: that wants to play LSU in mid October.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: So true, and not to mention, he could just go
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: grab his three old miss guys that are now all
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, My.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: God, you can go to tomorrow him.
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: They can have him, him and Green together at tight end.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: Are you kidding me? But anyway, all right, that's true.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: The team that people are sleeping on in the SEC.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I really believe this. Another schedule's tough, but Oklahoma's got
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: everybody back on defense, and John Matier's healthy, and they
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: had a good portal haul. I think Pep I another
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: ranked tents, but people might ignore ou just long enough
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: to where they can go in another playoff.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: I do agree with you.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: I think Materier, I think it's clear that he was
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: just a shell of himself physically with that hand injury,
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: and his performance was remember the way he played early on.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: I want to ask you staying in the SEC, if
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: to real'll get to the ACC. But I want to
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: ask you about the game Cocks. They are a team
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: that it does feel like a lot of people in
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: the media think, oh, they're bouncing back. I know we
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: do here, but how far do you think they bounced
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: back from last year?
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: And how far can they bounce? David Pollack the other
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: day brought them up as a playoff contender, like do
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: you go that far?
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're sneaky good. They have three stars in the
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: right positions ed rusher, quarterback, and receiver. The schedules a
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: bit difficult, but everyone's is in the SEC, and I
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: think last year was a bit of an aberration. I
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: know Dylan Stewart's probably not gonna play early on, and
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: one of their offensive linemen they got from NC State.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: It's a little banged up, but if healthy, look for them.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Their schedule at the beginning of the season revolved around
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: three games Mississippi State, Alabama, and Kentucky. They go to Alabama,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: so you're probably not going to get out of there
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: where they win them and you could surprise some people.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: But if they beat Mississippi State, which they have to,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and they beat Kentucky, which they have to, they go
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: into that part of the schedule, I think they would
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: make them four and one going into middle October. Then
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: you've got something going, but you cannot fall to Mississippi
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: State and Kentucky. But I do I like Beamer in
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: the game cocksuse.
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: I think they can go in a bit of a
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: run going to the ACC real quick. Matt, what do
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: you think of Clemson's rival this year? Excuse me, South
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: Carolina's rival in Clemson. Is it a Is it a
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: bounce back for Clemson to you know, semi what they've
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: been the last couple of years prior to last year,
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: or more of the same falloff that we've seen from Dabo.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I'm selling all my Clemson stock just because last year
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: they came in with everyone coming back, including Cade Klubnick,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: and I think they were ranked fourth in the preseason.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Never got never, they weren't ranked at the end of
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the year. They don't have a quarterback. They've got a
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: battle going on with the Vicenzi kid say his last name,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: and then the young youngster. They've got LSU week one.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm selling on them. I just I they
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: haven't been the same since they had that run of
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks with Trevor Lawrence and Deshaun Watson. They had to
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: run with Cade and something just was lost in that
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Clemson magic that Dabo has and look down here for dabble.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: They could sneak up and get ten wins. But I
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: almost believe, as you said, maybe a reset for Clemson
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: this year to kind of re get that thing going,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: because there's good a program as anybody in the country.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, they've just lost that step they
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: had on people.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: All Right, matt If the answer to this next question
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: is hell no, and you want to laugh at me,
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: feel free to do it. But I'm gonna do this
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: for the Tar Heel fans. I'm gonna ask this question.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: Is there any reason you can find for Heels fans
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: to believe that, hey, this is gonna be significantly better
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: than last year?
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because basketball season starts and what November December they
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: can get let's focus on focused on hoops. No, it's
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: an absolute tire five and there's just there's I mean, great,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: like the guy won super Bowls multiple I guess forget it.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I mean it's an absolute dumpster fire.
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought that might be the I tried. I tried.
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: But the thing about it is, did basketball fans for
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: the Targos are now going to text it and say, yeah,
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: he's right now, Now you're gonna get basketball dog going
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: here on?
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: Is that not what you want?
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Because I just I don't get. I I don't get
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: where the hire came from. I just don't because I
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: know a couple of the other guys that run the list,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: and Tario Bans don't want to know those couple of
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: other guys in the list because they'd be furious this
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: morning based on what's going on. It just doesn't translate.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: It was never going to translate. It was to win
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the press conference. You chased out Mac Brown, who he
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: thought was too old. Yeah, Bill Belichick's the same age.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I just did that. That one, to me is just
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: that was that was coach higher malpractice.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: It was all because some you know, some board member,
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean, just kind of pushes his
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: own I mean, Bubba Cunningham, to his credit. The name
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: that kills me on behalf of the Heels is John
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: summer ale, and like I the more I hear Matt
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know what you hear about that, the more
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: I hear insiders say like he was just turned off
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: when he realized, oh my god, this board guy's doing
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: his own thing with Belichick, Like, I don't want to
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: be a part of this.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: This is dysfunctional.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Right, you could have had Dan Mullen. Yeah, Dan Mullan's
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: probably gonna take UNLV into the playoff in year two.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: He's probably gonna take UNLB into the playoff in year two,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: and then he's gonna be one of the more coveted
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: coaches on the market this year, and this time around
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: of North Carolina came calling, I don't know that he'd listen.
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, Although, and that's the thing.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: My hope for the for the Heels football program is
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: that this show they're willing to at least invest right
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: invest money into the program, and it could they could
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: they do it for a coach like Mullan. You know,
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: if you invest in the right coach, I feel like
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: you could have something the guy.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Like, Yeah, I mean I could say a million things
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: that probably get me in trouble. I just don't know
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: that it was it was for the good of the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: program to run out mac Brown for the exact same
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: reason you brought in a guy.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: It just made this no, and then like do you
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: think I know right now? Matt's like, Matt's like, is
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: he is he ever gonna let me stop talking about
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Tarho football? But to your point, though, mac Brown, we've
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: said this, like why couldn't you give him the ni
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: l that all of a sudden you found for Belichick
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: like your greatest coach in school history, and he couldn't
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: get the money.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: You're telling me, Bill Belichick goes into a living room
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: and he's better than mac Brown.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: No heero chance, heck no, he heck no, Bill Bell
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: mac Brown is is so smooth. He could convince you,
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: Matt to come on again on Monday and talk an
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: hour Atario football. And that's the last thing you probably.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: Want to do. That's a weird do any of that
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: and convinced me?
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: All right, brother, hey man, we're looking forward to seeing
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: you as a part of the sec Nation crew. Thanks
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: so much for coming on. Man, love talking ball with you.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Appreciate you.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Betty good. One guy's looking forward to it anytime.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: All right, there, you go. That is Matt Barry, ESPN
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: and SEC Network.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: I've got to I didn't. I didn't tell him in
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: advance that you'd be asking so many uns quests.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: I did keep following up, but like he had me
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: golling like this, you got you got very worked up there.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: So it's the whole thing's annoying. And I know a
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: lot of Heels fans think I come from a place
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: of malice or whatever, but like I want all these
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: programs locally to be worth a crap.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: Our job's better. We love college football.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: I want to talk about at least half decent teams,
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: not what happened last year. So and you could just
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: clearly see what happened there, you know what.
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: I Meanwhile, I've got battle hog Nation, the FSU fan
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: trying to get the win dog Chris Winki back for
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: one more year. He's only seventy two years old now,
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: not even sarcastic.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: Oh god, all right, let's go to the fit dog
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: right now. I'm sure he enjoyed Matt Barry's comments about
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: the tar Heel football program. Hey, he's optimistic about basketball.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Hey for you, he's optimistic fit. What you got over there?
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Win?
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: An update fitting.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: This update, guys, is brought to you by the ancient
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: s Roofing End Gutter Company.
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: Do not wait for a small problem to become a
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: big one.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: If you see an issue with your roof or your gutters,
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: give them a call for a free estimate. Seven zero
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: four three three four ninety nine thirty four. That a
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: seven zero four three three four ninety nine thirty four
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: seven zero four three three four nine to nine three
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: four MAC. We had a milestone moment last night in
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: Major League Baseball. Jacob deGrom the second fastest pitcher all
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: time to two thousand strikeouts, behind now Chris.
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: Sale of the Atlanta Braves.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: So you know, in a day in time where we're
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: no longer going to see a pitcher win three hundred games,
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: that's still a number that does resonate for a guy
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: that will hopefully one day want to make the Hall
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: of Fame.
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: So congratulations to him.
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: And how about the game last night in the WNBA
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: we had Caitlin Clark Page Beckers on the same court.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Last night, the Wings get the best of the Fever
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: in a ninety one eighty five win for Dallas.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Fevers still won like twelve at the last sixteen though. Man,
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: they have still kicked it up a notch. But anyway,
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: that was a big win for the Wings.
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: Were running hot. You could say.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Kelsey Mitchell had thirty seven. Those are some hot wings
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: last night. I see what you did there. I see
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: what you did. By the way, bone you saw it.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Texters have seen it. We must talk about jumping Joe
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: persons cuts. He has done his early fifty three man roster.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: He's cutting people boned. These aren't official cuts, right, Oh yeah,
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know why I'm getting this excited. It's not
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: like he has the authorities. Moves on the Athletic dot Com.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: Some notable names on Joe's list.
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: You're out of here. We'll talk about that coming up next.
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: That we have a bright young contract note as well.
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: On Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ, mac in Bowe with
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: you all right, baby, all right, somebody says Mac all
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: this college football eligibility courts running the show crap is
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: making my head hurt.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: I longed for a simpler Timebone, Like when we were
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: arguing about Android versus iPhone. I longed for those or
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: when we talked about best appetizers in our one. Those
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: were the growing up you paid athletes in an alley
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: with the trench coach.
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: God's get the Dallas wholesome happened to happen to CD
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: characters dropping off back to the back of car parking lots.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: Do you want to go back to that era? That's
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: what I grew up.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: On, right, Instead of CD judges ruling in fever calling
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Phil former fat, that was better times. That would still
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: ifs furry, We're here to day coach, and that would
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: still happen.
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: Though, imagine the stuff he would say about this era.
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: Man coaching. Man, Well, this guy was going pro you date.
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: Now all of a sudden he's playing for Tennessee. What
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: does he What does he think of this mess? I
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: would love to hear it. We can call him up
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: next week. Yeah, they make it happen. Make it happen,
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: all right, So let's uh, let's talk about it. We
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: were we were teasing this before break.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Our guy jumping Joe Person, Panthers beat writer for the
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Athletic dot Com, has done his first exercise of a
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: projected fifty three man roster, and I'm telling you right
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: now bone if jumping Joe puts roster together, projection together
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: or marvelous Mike Kay.
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: Either one of those guys do it. I'm listening. I
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: bet you.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: Dan Morgan's listening to. So what sticks out the most bone?
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: Four running backs? AJ Dillon's on there, three quarterbacks, Haines
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: King's on there. What else you see on their bone?
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: It sticks out Sanders being cut and then and keeping
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: Waller and Franks both.
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: I'm on the wrong article for Joe Person. I'm on article.
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: Let me get to the article there, Cly AJ Dillon
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: making it as something we've talked a lot about. You
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: said that there. Sander's not making it. That's something that
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: we kind of see coming there. And as we go
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: further down, David Moore and John Metchi don't make not
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: making it? Holy crap? Does Joe Joe? Joe cheat it here?
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: Does he not know it's against state law right now
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: to cut David Moore? Does he not realize that? In fact,
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: I think it's a federal law. Josh Person's getting calling
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: into the office right now. Interesting, Okay, so he says
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: always got you see Reid also making it. He's got
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: your seam read on there. Jimmy Horn on there, Bryce
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: and Tremaine on there, and then obviously the top three,
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: and then he has more and Mechi missing. Mechi did
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: apparently make a couple of plays with the ones in
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: practice the other day, so we'll see what he does tonight.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: But he has felt like he's started to get behind
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: these guys a little bit.
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: It's I just I don't know, man.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying that if David Moore gets cut because
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: they like the potential of a seam Reid, I'm not
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: gonna say bone that, oh this is an outrage or anything,
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: but I would be surprised just because Dave Canals likes.
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: The trust Worr.
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: I guess the reasoning might be, You've already got a
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: guy in Tremaine that is there for special teams. So
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: would you get a guy for more for leadership as
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: much as anything, and have a guy for special teams,
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: or would you want someone that can do a little bit.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: More like a Horn or a Reid. That'd be the
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: only reason I'd see him going, right.
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think it's gonna happen, But David Moore's
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: kind of a specialized guy for them, and so is Tremaine.
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: Would they keep both those guys, or want someone that
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: could be a little.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: More of a fact still a young receiving corps and
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: does he want that sage wise vet for the young
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: guys so offensive line, he has the volla getting cut.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: He has a vola getting.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Cut right now, right now, the Panther fans are celebrating
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: right now as I.
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: Tell you that this is jumping Joe person. This is
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: some guys celebrating. This is not a real wist yet.
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: D D line.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: He has Aaron Hall making it as the fourth interior
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: D lineman. He's got Turk Wharton starting on the pup list,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: which definitely is believable. At this point, he's just been,
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: you know, kind of running and doing stuff on the side. Linebackers.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: He's got, oh my god, outside line. He's got my man,
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: Trevis Gibson getting cut. Dang, but cam Gill looks good.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: Cam Gill looks like he's winning a spot. I thought
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: Trevis was good. The other he has in Coom and
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: cam Gill, along with Phillips, Jones and Princely.
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: Thing real notable about the other one. I'm backer in
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: corner spots. I'd say nothing that stands out. Caleb Evans
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: is won. He's got coup watch making it a linebacker.
• 39:07
  Speaker 7: But we go down to safety's and one caught my
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: eye though. He has Isaiah Simmons being cut dang who's
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: kind of become a fan favorite in some ways here
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: mircial team stud man. He's got tray von Nick, Scott Ransom,
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: and Wheatley as the safeties, but Simmons and Demani richards
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: are not making it Also who we know that Dan
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: Morgan who told us individually a while back, how much
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: do you like Richardson? So that's kind of notable there
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: on the scene. But for those four safeties have to
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: make it right. So like, if you're keeping Simmons, you're
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: keeping a fifth safety. He keep he kept the fourth
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: running back, you know, Like so maybe that math is
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: it makes it hard to keep Simmons if you keep
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: Dylan as a fourth running back.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: By the way, we didn't even talk about the biggest
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: news yet on Joe's fifty three man projected roster.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: J J.
• 39:56
  Speaker 7: Jansen made it baby with a right up, made it
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: with a right up. Well, he has six games away
• 40:02
  Speaker 7: from passing Jim Marshall for third place. Hell yeah, yeah,
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: consecutive games left. Hell yeah, he is the freaking iron man.
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: He's the damn cow ripkt of football. Marshall, the guy
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: that ran the wrong he was he was played a lot.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: Of games, but in one of those games, he got
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: the ball in the turn way. I did want to
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: mention this Bryce Young thing real quick, bone, because it's notable.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: We're not going to do an extended conversation about it,
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: but obviously we will be talking about Bryce's contract.
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: We already have.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: We'll be talking about so much it's it's one of
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: the obvious major storylines of the season. But the ESPN
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: did this right up about a lot of the quarterbacks
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: in flux.
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: CJ.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: Stroud's on here too, and they did this right up
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: bone about you know what they predict is gonna happen,
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: their best guess on how each quarterback situation will resolve,
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: and they wrote this about Bryce. Most likely outcome the
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: Panthers have a season similar to twenty twenty five, maybe
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: a little bit better, but missed the playoffs because they're
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: DIVI got stronger around them. Young continues to show signs
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: that he can be the guy, and without another obvious option,
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: the Panthers extend him next spring with a contract that
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: falls closer to the Daniel Jones range in terms of
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: average annual salary than it does the Dak Prescott range
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: Daniel Jones two years, eighty eight million, forty four million
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: per year with the Colts.
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: What do you think about that? For Bryce?
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: Is that a good compromise where it's not all the
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: way down there with the Mayfields and the Darnolds of
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: thirty three million per that those guys are trying to
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: get more money from, right, but it's not all the
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: way up to it doesn't make them.
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: A fifty million dollar quarterback.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: I wonder is that the middle ground or Bryce like
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: I guess it all depends on how the season plays
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: that how Bryce plays well.
• 41:48
  Speaker 7: Sometimes back with these contracts in sports, we see it
• 41:51
  Speaker 7: in baseball often sometimes it's not about the number, it's
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: about the length of the contract. So to me, that's
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: very team friendly where you two more years out of
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: Bryce and you're not tied in for four or five years,
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: and if it goes well, you can always resign. If not,
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: you're not died in. But sometimes players want how many
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: times in baseball mad do we see where they're haggling
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: over the fifth or sixth year or whatever it is
• 42:14
  Speaker 7: for Brice accept that. That's the question that Beau. Is
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: he gonna want a commitment for four or five years?
• 42:19
  Speaker 7: And does he want more? That's very that's very beneficial
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: years wise to the football team.
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: And point does he want more than forty four million? Again,
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: it's I know the question is unanswerable in you know,
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: until we see the season playout. But the way they
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: so they have us missing the playoffs, maybe Bryce's leverage
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: only comes if they make the playoffs again. I think
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: he's got to improve to maximize his leverage bone and
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: to get possibly in that fifty million dollar range. I
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: like that forty four million dollar range much better. But
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: he needs this team needs to make the playoffs again, right,
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: and he needs to be better. He needs to be
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: more consistent thaners need to be better.
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, any chance of getting into fifty million dollars,
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: you're right, though there's no way to know that yet.
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: Also, there's no way to know if that lank that number.
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: We don't.
• 43:09
