  Speaker 1: You're listening to the Mac and Bo Show on Mac
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and Bo Radio. Good morning, Charlotte. Welcome aboard.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: It's time to do the damn thing on a Thursday
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: morning edition of the Mac and Bone Show. Full attention
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: to the Atlanta Falcons as they get ready to spin
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the starting quarterback wheel on Sunday. I mean, have you
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: ever seen? Such a question mark at quarterback going into
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: a game. We'll talk about it. We'll let you know
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: what the news is on Jalen Coker's health on the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Panther side of things. What Dave Canales said about cutting
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Hornet does sound like he is about to be
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: back here on the Carolina Panthers practice squad. We'll talk
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: about that as well. And much, much more, man.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: We got.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Heels football news. We've got big LSU injury news. Or
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: is it an injury? We'll talk about that as well.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: A lot of stuff to talk about today on the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Mac and Bone Show. The Bone Man's here. The Fit
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Dog is here. And I need to take a breath, Bone.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Those stairs got me this morning. The combination of two bacon, egg,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and cheese biscuits from McDonald's and the stairs, I think,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: have got me this morning.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: What's up, Boney?
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: Well, good morning to you. Good morning to Fitty, my
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: main man, Brona Wilson here. Bro, I screwed it up.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: I screwed it up.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I messed up. I screwed it up. I'm done. I'm out.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Brona Wilson. No, I'm out. Brona Hill was yesterday, right?
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I meant to say Bro and Wilson today. My main man,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Bro and Wilson. Okay. Come on, Bone. Come on, baby.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: You've got one job to open the show, Bone. Get
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: your bro name right.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: I had 24 hours to think about it. Yesterday, you
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: seemed happy with it, and I thought, oh, Mac likes
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: this now.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And then the one day.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: You're finally happy with it, I screw it up there.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: I'll be better tomorrow. You mentioned being the stairs. I
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: got tired today. Funny you mentioned that. I got tired
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: today walking down the stairs, not up the stairs.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: That's a new one. I walk down the stairs.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: You know, that little there's a little area between one
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: set of stairs and the other where it's a little
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: landing pad area. And I had to take a little
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: break there a little bit this morning.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't feel so bad then. I don't feel
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: so bad about going up the stairs getting me. Because
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: that's a new level of sad there, Bone. Going down
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the stairs getting you.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Have I mentioned my good friend Rowan Wilson's with us today?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: There you go. Now you got it, baby. Now you
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: got it. You got that straight. Anyway, man, we got
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a lot to talk about on the show today. A
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: lot of football stuff to get into on the show, obviously.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: A couple of Hornets notes here early on we will
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: give to you. But let's start with the fact that
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Jalen Coker was limited yesterday at practice bone to me.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: This this feels like good news. This is kind of
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: what I was rooting for. I did not expect him
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: after being in a boot on Monday to be full go.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: But this is kind of where I was hoping this
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: thing would start. And I think Dave Canales is kind
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: of feeling. is putting us at ease as well. Do
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: we have that, Fitty? Dave Cannell is talking about the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Coker injury situation. He seems to feel like this week
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: is going to play out, Bone, in a decent fashion,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: as Fitty just said. Fitty's fingers just scurry to try
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to find the damn cut over their phone.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, look at this dude. This is where we
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: need elevator music to play.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: This dude is stressed as hell. He's like, damn, Mac,
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: didn't know I was playing in the first quarter. Mac,
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: dare I say, since you teased that, it's been a while.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: There it is. Go ahead. Go ahead.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm confident we'll ramp him up a little bit.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: He was able to do a little something in team today.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Had an extended warm-up on the side. Got him going.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: He's been getting treated. We were able to get him
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: out there for a couple of snaps just on some
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: things that we're looking for for him to be able
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: to execute. The hope is to ramp that up a
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: little bit more tomorrow and then cut him loose Friday.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: So I expect him to play on Sunday.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: That was like Fiddy was so shocked to be getting
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: minutes in the first quarter. That's like when Willie P
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: once got put in a football game mode in the
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: first quarter.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Palaccia, get your helmet.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: What, coach?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: What?
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Fiddy checked into the game. Fiddy still had his warm-up
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: pants on when he got in the game.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Like Chris Lee who manned me yelling against the Bears
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: on Sunday.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Fiddy thought it was a tracksuit day for him here today.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: But we got it worked out there.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of how I think, knock on wood,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: we're all hoping to.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Go as bonus.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: He kind of just ramps it up slowly by Friday.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: He's gone full tilt and Sunday's ready to go.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not too good.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: When Canelo says what he said there, I'm not too,
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: I'm not too concerned about him. I think it's a
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: precautionary thing. I expect Jay Coke to be in there
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: on Sunday.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Coke heads, relax.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Everybody just relax out there. That's what Coke heads are
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: known for. Mac is relaxing.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Clearly, clearly.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: We do need to mention the Falcons quarterback situation. I'm
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: telling you right now, if one of these buffoons lights
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: us up, I will lose my mind. Like, Y'all on
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the text line lose your mind every day of your existence.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I will join you on Monday if we get lit
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: up by one of these jabronis. I'm telling you right now.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: But let's let you know where this thing stands. We
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: really don't know. I mean, my guess is Cooper Rushbone
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: is the starter. He's been dealing with back spasms. He
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: split the reps yesterday with Penix, who's still trying to
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: come off the torn ACL. Tua with the oblique is
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: still considered day-to-day and is in practicing. And then, as
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski told the media that none of these four
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: guys can be ruled out for playing in Sunday's game,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: he then said, don't forget about Jack Strand. I wouldn't
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: rule him out for Sunday either. He's the undrafted rookie.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Mac, I have the list of all the guys that
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: they're trying to choose between. Would you like me to
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: read them off to you here?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, there's more?
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: Of who the Panthers could play on Sunday? Steve Borkowski,
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Bobby Hebert, Jeff George, Chris Chandler, Michael Vick, Doug Johnson,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Kirk Kittner, Danny Cannell, Steve DeBerg, Billy Joe Tolver, Tony Graziani,
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Joey Harrington, Matt Ryan, Chris Redmond, Matt Shaw, Marcus Mariota,
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Desmond Ritter, Kirk Cousins.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Did I mention yet.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Steve DeBurgett. Oh, my God, man. It's worse than I thought.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Scott Campbell. Hugh Millen. Steve Dills. Jeff Van Ratsport. Turk Skrote.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: The guy named Turk Skrote was on there.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Skrote!
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: That's a funny name. How would you like to be scrote, man?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Or Turk Schoeder, not scrote.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, scrote.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: What, you just make up a name. You made up
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a name here. I thought we had a funny name.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: I like how I just made up a name and
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Max said scrote.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: That's a funny one.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: Would Turk scrote not sound like a Falcon quarterback name
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: of a backup?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: We can't get one up by Turk Scrooge. Oh, man.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: The point is, any quarterback in Falcon history is on
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the line this Sunday. It's a cluster F, man. It
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: really is.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: But so is our defense. So it's a collision course, Bo. Mac,
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: would you like to know, Mac, who the backup quarterback was? Fitty,
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: step away from the microphone, please. I don't need you
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: getting us fired here. Mac, we also could see 1971
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Falcon quarterback.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Dick Shiner.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: All right. There you go. There you go.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Do you have more concern over Dick Shiner or Turk Skro?
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: I feel like they hung out together. I feel like
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: those two. We were seen together often. Fitty, good work, man.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: I know you're trying to get it on the air
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: right now, but just please don't.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Anyway, this is... This is very interesting. None of these
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: guys are really any good. But again, I can't stress enough,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: neither were we on defense on Sunday. I do think
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: it's going to be Cooper Rushbone. The Penix thing is
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: kind of interesting because Cooper Rush says after practice that, yeah,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: me and Michael Penix split the reps 50-50. Michael Penix
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: then tells the media, I'm getting close. I know I've
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: been saying this, but I'm getting close. It's like, close, bro.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: You took 50% of the reps with the ones. They
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: are not happy in Atlanta.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: In the media.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Some of the guys on 680 The Fan were going
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: off on Penix. Apparently, He has been kind of slow
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: playing this. He has been cleared physically for a while now,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: but kind of keeps telling everybody, I'm not there yet.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I'm almost there. So I don't really know what's going
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: on there, Bone. But Mike, I don't know about you.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: My guess is Cooper Rush. Yeah, I think it's Cooper Rush.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: He met the media. Feels like that's the best option
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Mackers....
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: It makes us laugh, but what an absolute disaster class
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: in quarterback management it's been for the Falcons the last
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: handful of years. They signed Kirk Cousins to the deal.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: In the same year, they draft Penix. Both of those
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: things are turning out to be a disaster. They bring
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: in Tua to try to maybe bridge the gap for
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: maybe a year or so. That's not working out there.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: Has there ever been a team more destined to be
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: in the quarterback market in the draft than what the
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: Falcons are going to be? There's a lot of quarterbacks
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: that we think will be in that draft. This Falcons team,
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: and who knows if they're going to pick the right one, though, right?
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: The way they've done things here in Whiteley. Well, that's
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: the thing.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: It's about a 50% chance, regardless of who the team is,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: of picking in quarterback.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, that whole Cousins kind of thing, they're going
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to fail on both those things. The contract and the draft. Horrible. Horrible.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: What's it like to root for a mismanaged team, Atlanta?
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Absolutely horrible. And again, Panthers, don't you even think about it, y'all.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: But the good news is Bryce Young owns that building.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: What did he say when it was brought up to
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: him yesterday? Hey, you've done pretty good there. What did
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Bryce Young say about that? We'll let you hear that
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: coming up in a few minutes.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: They are such a mess, Mac.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: I was thinking about something about this game on Friday,
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: but I'm not going to go ahead and say it today.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I'll wait for tomorrow to say it. I'll wait for
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: tomorrow to say it. Oh, you're going big, huh, Bone?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I'll say it. You might be more confident than I am.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: Heard some people are a little bit concerned in the area.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: About what I might do in the next couple of days. Yeah,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you are in people.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: We are both, but you specifically are in Panther fans'
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: heads about what prediction is going to happen tomorrow on
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: More on that later. More on that later on.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Let's get you a couple little Hornet tidbits here, basically
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: because they're interesting, but once we get rolling with full-on football,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: once the football avalanche gets rolling, I don't plan on
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: stopping the football avalanche, Unless Fiddy has proposed to his girlfriend,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: which we'll do a full.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Hour on it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Mac, I've got my minister for the wedding.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. There you go.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: Beth Troutman is an ordained minister. When she learned about
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: the news, she has offered up her services.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: She had to just go online and print that thing
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: out in about five minutes. We were practicing yesterday. Just
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: real quick, Mac. That's 30 seconds here.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Has anybody ever– it's one thing for us to joke
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: around about the wedding bone. Has anybody themselves ever gone
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: on three dates and started talking this openly about a wedding?
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I've been on five.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Five.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: The counter is behind your head, Matt. They're keeping track.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Yesterday, we were practicing after the show how we're going
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: to line up as groomsmen and fit his way.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: What could go wrong? What could go wrong? All this talk.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: This reminds me of, well, Bones predictions on a Friday. Mine, too,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I guess, for that matter. Anyway, all right, so let's
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: do the Hornets. I want to get in a couple
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: of Hornets tidbits here because they are interesting and because,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: like I said, we're going full football here in a
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: matter of minutes. But ESPN did their NBA future rankings,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: which is based on the next three years. The Hornets
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: are freaking seventh. They moved up from like 22 to seventh.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: So I just, again... We, you know, have had trouble
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: as fans in dealing with the Lomelo trade, but it
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: just seems like, Bone, basically everybody that covers the NBA
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: thinks we are doing the rebuild and the build the
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: right way, and everybody thinks it is going to pay
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: off big time for us in just a matter of time. Like,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: everybody outside that's neutral, that doesn't get emotional about things,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: and it covers the league.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all about the draft collateral that they've amassed.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: It's the way they've managed things here recently. So, yeah,
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: I think the fan reaction and the emotion still is
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: about LaMelo getting traded. But the national media reaction has been, oh,
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: my God, they're doing incredible work to build themselves up,
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: not just for the immediate, but for the long term.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: So that's a hell of a jump, by the way,
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: in the future rankings to go from the mid 20s.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: to number seven is a hell of a jump considering
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: you traded the guy that's made an all-star team on
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: the team away. And yet you moved up 15 or
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: 16 spots. And that's the next three years. That's not
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: like the next five years, six years. That's three years.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: They say we're the seventh best team in the NBA
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: for the next three years. So, again, do I necessarily,
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: you know, am I on here guaranteeing it?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? That we will be the
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: seven best team in three years and all that?
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: No.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: But it just goes to speak of what the pundits
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: do believe. Like, they gave us sixth in the league
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: team management. When the hell is a Charlotte team ever
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: sixth in the league by anybody in management?
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Like ever. I'm thinking, oh, I got nothing.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: So, like, it's just the league's media does believe in
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: what we're doing here, and it's just a matter of
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: time until we see if it does see its way out. Now, something,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know if I really want
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: this to happen anymore, Bone. Jake Fisher yesterday said on
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: his podcast that the Sabonis trade stuff is still lingering
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: out there. and that the Hornets still could be involved eventually.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Listen to this.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: I'm skeptical at this juncture how much of a market
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: there will be for Sabonis at the Kings' current asking price.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: I don't think Charlotte is really motivated to meet that Kings'
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: asking price, but if the Kings' price comes down, I
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: would think that Charlotte is still a team to monitor
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: in Sabonis' ultimate trade landscape but i don't think anything
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: is coming to fruition anytime.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: Soon So there you go. Do you still have interest
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: in a Sabonis deal? I've been a huge fan of Sabonis,
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: but remember when his name was coming up, Mac, we
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: thought that was going to play with Lomelo Ball. And
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: we were talking about their two-man game, the pick and roll,
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: the pick and pop of Sabonis rolling off of Lomelo
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: getting into the lane. Does it still make as much
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: sense now, today, with the roster construction as it did
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: with Lomelo? I don't think so. And also, he's going
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: to have to get paid. You're going to have to
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: give up stuff for him. No, I'd say that the
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: way they've managed this summer has been really good. Don't
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: give up any more assets right now. Keep doing what
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: you're doing. I like Sabonis a lot. I just don't
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: know if I like the current fit much. with the
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: roster as they set it up right now.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, my whole thing is, don't get me wrong,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: they add Sabonis. I'm going to be sitting here ready
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: to watch the Hornets play basketball, right? They will get
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: better in the immediate. But the move they made showed, okay,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: we're still being patient here. We're still with Bridges and
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Ball acquiring assets for the future. And then this move
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: would be more of an immediate move. And Jake Fisher
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: says he wants an extension. I have no interest in
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: giving that man an extension. Like it would just be
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: for what's he got two years left, two years left.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Like so to me, if anything, I just have interest
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: in two years. But it is the trade exception doesn't
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: work for him. His salary is too big to where
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: our big 40 million trade exception would not apply. So
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: that's another aspect of this as well.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: I also wonder if the I also wonder if the
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: Kings are reaching out to other teams a little bit.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: to gauge the value to try to get the Pistons moving, Matt,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: because they still have... The Jalen Duren, by the way,
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: thing still hasn't happened yet. Jalen Duren, remember we thought
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: he was going to go to Sacramento in a move?
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: He still has not gone there and signed a restricted deal.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: So I wonder if they're trying to prod the Pistons along.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Because remember, we thought it would be Sabonis for Duren.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: It never happened. So I do wonder if the Kings are...
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: floating his name out there still as like hey we
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: detroit let's do this thing before the season starts i
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: think that could be going on as well and may
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: and maybe some bonuses in sacramento till trade deadline maybe
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: it's something that doesn't happen till then uh thursday night
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: football tonight on two fronts ladies and gentlemen the bills
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: will open their uh new stadium well i guess they
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: opened it but they will their official regular season home
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: opener at highmark stadium tonight against the lions who we
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: play in two weeks. So we get to do some
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: advanced scouting on the lions. I'm already bone thinking ahead
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: to the Detroit primetime Sunday night game and Detroit will
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: not have both safeties in that game. They're down three
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: offensive linemen. I find myself bone.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Licking my chops at what Bryce could do in that game,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: but I find myself worried for our defense in that game.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Even with the dinged up offensive line of the Detroit Lions.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: To your point, though, we've mentioned, hey, the next two
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: games for the offense, Atlanta, Cleveland, can they continue the
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: momentum of what they established against the Bears? Well, with
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: Detroit's defense, we look at Detroit as a pretty scary opponent,
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: but it's on the offensive side. Obviously, Hutchinson is a
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: game wrecker, but could they end up back with three
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: opponents in a row where... after Chicago where this offense
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: can really get going for an extended period. We haven't
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: really seen them under Canales and Bryce go for an
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: extended period. Usually they have a moment, they step back,
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: they have a moment. I'm thinking right now could be
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: the first time we really see multiple game success for
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: Bryce and Canales in this offense.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: A whole month? A whole month of good offense? Is
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: that even legal? Yeah, are we allowed that? I will
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: say this. Aiden Hutchinson lines up the majority of the
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: time over the right tackle. monroe freeling if you ain't
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: gonna ask for it brother i will help the man
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: out help the man out but anyway you got 19
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: tight ends throw some in there that's true we got
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: two games before that one but i just wanted to
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: point that out we get to watch detroit tonight acc
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: football tonight syracuse and pitt is on as well and
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: uh the braves got pca'd last night bone um uh
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: that sounds dirty but it's not uh pete crowe armstrong
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: hand the man the mvp trophy just hand it to
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: him what a monster Two more home runs, now 44
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: for the season, as the Cubs beat the Braves last night, 8-4.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: My God, I would hate, Bone, to have word for
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: an organization that has gotten rid of, like, two great Peets.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Oh, my God.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: That would piss me off if I watched two great
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Peets hit home runs this week, and they used to
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: be my players.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: For the love of Pete, what happened there, Fetty? Could
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: you imagine that happening?
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: I'm going to get another form of Pete and do
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: something to you with it, Mac.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: What is that? I don't know. I'm concerned, but I
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: don't understand.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: I'm going to get some Texas Pete and shove it
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: down your trap.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Okay. I didn't know what Pete you were grabbing there.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I was worried about that.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: The Alonzo thing has gotten y'all all the headlines this week.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: You cheering for the opponent is just hilarious. And people
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: in New York are losing their mind. They either think
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: the Mets fans are idiots or they completely understand Mets fans.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: The Pete Coe Armstrong one is just... A shot to
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the heart, Vinny.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: And do you know what we traded away PCA for?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I heard last night.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Six weeks of Javier Baez.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: That's what it was.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: When his first two weeks as a Met was so
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: bothered by the boos by Met fans, he thumbed down
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: the fans.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: After he had a big kid.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Did you see him meeting the Mets fans that caught
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: his home run ball two nights ago?
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Alonzo, you're talking about. Yeah, I'm talking about Pete Alonzo.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Sorry, Pete Alonzo met the Mets fans, and he gave
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: them some bats and all that stuff, and he said
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: he's going to get them to an Orioles game at
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: some point.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: There you go. Come on aboard with us, baby.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Because everyone's dying to go to an Orioles game.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Come on aboard right there, baby. Two and a half out.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Two and a half hours, and I find a wild
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: card just hanging, just leaving me just enough hope to
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: care and then piss me off at some.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Point here in the next few days. Hanging like a
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: cat on a screen door. Yeah, pretty much, pretty much.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: When we come back here on the Mac and Bone show,
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: as I... I closed out my sheet here, Mac, my
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: grid sheet here. We got college football stuff coming up.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: No, Panthers, baby.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, why don't you go ahead and read it because
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: I accidentally closed out my browser. All right, so here's
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: what we got, baby. I was reading Dick Shiner's Wikipedia page.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, as one would do.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: The rest of the Panthers and Atlanta Falcon injury report news.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Canales talks about why he cut Jimmy Horn. And Bryce,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: not surprisingly, does not want to hear anything. about all
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: the success he's had in Atlanta. It's coming up, Sports
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: All right, y'all.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Let's talk some Carolina Panther football, ladies and gentlemen.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: How does that feel? How does that feel?
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: We are right here at the beginning of week two
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: with the Bills and Lions tonight, three days away from
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: the Panthers.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: It's getting to the point, Bone, where I need them
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: to get on the field.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Listen, I still am a little paranoid and afraid because, again,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: if our defense looks bad against Atlanta... That is a
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: bad sign. But I just want to erase the stench.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: And I can only imagine how the guys on the
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: team feel like they've got to be chomping at the
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: bit to head down to a place where they've had
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: success lately and just erase the dang week one stench.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: That's what I need.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I need a weak bone where we got some pep
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: in our step, where we're dancing next month.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I need this so badly.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: It feels like we started to get a little bit
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: of body odor on Sunday. And we've not gotten any
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: deodorant yet to solve it, right? We need some deodorant.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: And when I say deodorant, I mean we need the
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: Falcons game here immediately. No doubt about it.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: That's our deodorant. No doubt about it, man. That's our
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Old Spice. I hope so.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Mac, you got deodorant at your house?
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I hope so. the hell kind of question is.
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: That well you've been you've been known to run out
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: of time or two and not go get to you
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: and i want to make.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Sure that you're i'm good i'm good fit you worry
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: about yourself over there that's on me for that analogy
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: i didn't know that was gonna wake up the pit
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: bull all right let's go let's talk about the panthers
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: shall we you worry about you you worry about sending
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: out the wedding invitations over there you work on that.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Um you worry about the the decorations and the.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Food So the injury report, we already told you about Coker.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: He was limited.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Another guy that I think we're going to have to
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: sweat out this week is Bobby Brown with the back injury,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: with the bulging disc in his back. He did not
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: practice yesterday. Pat Jones didn't practice yesterday. So I believe Coker,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: knock on wood, is going to play. I'm not trying
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: to jinx it, y'all. I believe Bobby Brown is up
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: in the air, and I'm really rooting for him to
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: be out there because I thought he was good in
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: week one despite the injury. Pat Jonesbone, my vibe is...
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: It's at least another week. That's just my guesses.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think it's.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: Probably a fair guess with the injury that Pat Jones had.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: No, I think that's fair. We're just guessing, but I
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: think that's fair. Waller got a rest day yesterday, a
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: vet day. That sounds about right. As far as Atlanta goes...
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: We mentioned Pennix and Rush both went full practice and
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: split the reps. Chris Lidstrom, their stud guard, is in
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: the concussion protocol. So there's a good chance he misses
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: this game.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: A.J.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Terrell, their stud corner bone, has a shoulder injury. He
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: didn't practice yesterday either. That's huge for them. Yeah, that's
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: another big one.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: They're already, Mac, lacking a lot of defensive prowess anyway
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: for the season and for a long period of time
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: with Pierce.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: But take Terrell out of there. I mean, my gracious,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: they don't have a whole lot left.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: But thank you, Vern. I appreciate that.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: My gracious!
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Bone sounded like he was Vern calling Tiger Woods shot
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: on the 16th grade.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: I was raised by men like Vern Longley. I wouldn't
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: mind being Vern one day. What a great name, too, Vern.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: The Jimmy Horn situation, Bone, it feels like he's about
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: ready to be back on the practice squad. I haven't
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: seen anybody report it yet, but I have seen the
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: reports that he did clear waivers, that no one picked
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: him up on waivers. And Dave Canales definitely told everybody yesterday, hey, man, his,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: you know, We aren't done with him here. This was
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Coach Canales explaining why they ended up waving Jimmy Horn
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: this week.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the roster spot drove it. But certainly, you know,
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: for Jimmy and we had a great conversation. He and I, Dan,
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: talked about it and wanted to make sure that he understood, like,
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: we see the progress that he's making.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: We see the strides.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: And right now, you know, with what the roster was doing,
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: I didn't want him to go in the tank and
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: be discouraged. We want him to come back. We want
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: him to be here on a practice squad because he
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: brings a lot to what we can do. And this
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: isn't the end of that story. You know, this is
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: just a part of it. And right now we have
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: to make the best decisions. I have to make those
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: hard decisions along with Dan to make sure we get
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: guys out there that we feel confident with. This is
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: an opportunity for John Meche to step up in a
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: role to see how he can help us. And then
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: on top of that, just having, you know, the other roster,
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: you know, issues with getting Tyron.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: Might be like that where, you know, Horn is on
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: the practice squad, but I wouldn't be surprised if he
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: got moved up again.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I think there's going to be a lot of movement.
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: All those guys that we chronicled in camp of Moore
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: and Mechie and Horn, I think there's going to be
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: a lot of movement weekly on that part of the
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: wide receiver room because no one's really established themselves as
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: consistent week in, week out.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: They needed the roster spot.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Teams were after at least one team wanted to sign
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Tyrell Dotson and I'm sure the plan all along was
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: for him to be on the active roster. He is
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: too good to be on a practice squad. And so
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: we had to promote him or we were going to
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: lose him. And Jimmy Horn Jr., I'm pretty sure they
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: watched him in the return game and said, I don't
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: want him back there this week. We can't trust him
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: right now. So as a result, I think they just
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: chose to take that spot. But like Coach said... His
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: story's not written like you said. I think there's a
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: very good chance he could end up back here. He
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: did make progress in the preseason, but it makes sense
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: to me for right now. And that's the thing about
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: these practice squads. The way the practice squad works and
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: the way you can promote guys each week and stuff
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: like that, and you have so many promotions to the
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: active roster while they can stay on the practice squad,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: you really have a 69-man roster. Like, there's so much
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: more depth. And you can use that whole thing. You
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? There doesn't need to be any shame.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe it's kind of like being sent down
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: to AAA when you know that player's probably going to
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: get back at some point.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Like, that sort of thing. It's like baseball.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: Every day they're moving guys in and out. And football
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: is sort of becoming like that. Yeah, it's a different
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: world of roster management in pro football right now.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Canales talked about....
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: This is my words, not his.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: The cluster F situation at quarterback for Atlanta, where I
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: am convinced Kevin Stefanski may spin a wheel on Sunday
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: morning and say.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: You're our quarterback, Cooper Rush.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Literally, Stefanski is telling us all four, all four have
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: a chance this week. And Dave Kanellis was asked about,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: is there extra difficulty in preparing in a situation like
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: this where you have really– No idea which quarterback you're
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: going to see.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: We just have to look at the history of Kevin
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Stefanski's offenses and what he values and what he's trying
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: to get done. The good part is no singular quarterback
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: that they have is kind of a standout in terms
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: of being a runner. When you have pocket passers, and
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: these are all quarterbacks that I think are good quarterbacks,
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: and Certainly, you know, Tua, we've seen Michael Penix play
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: at his best, you know, and Cooper Rush, who's been
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: around a long time. So these are guys that can
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: really operate as a former quarterbacks coach. I value what
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: they can do. There isn't a dynamic of the zone
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: read type of element, a guy that kind of creates
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: that extra special element. So we can really treat the
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: system and the offense, you know, true to the integrity
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: of what Coach Stefanski is trying to get done.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: There's a difference, though. There's a starting quarterback that's a
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: high-level guy, and you don't know if you're preparing for
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: him or maybe the backup. I think in this particular case,
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of names to prepare for, but I
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: don't really think, one, you're terrified. If you're playing Baltimore
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: and Lamar Jackson might not play, well, that's a big
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: difference between Lamar and the backup quarterback situation. Atlanta right now,
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: You got to go out there and you got to
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: play better defense against these guys. But not one of
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: them to me is, oh, my God, what if he plays?
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: To me, it's whatever. Let's just go play ball.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: And that sounds like that's what Coach Canales is saying. Plus,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: he's pointing out the styles are pretty much the same.
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? And you're pointing out their
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: ability is pretty much the same. Yeah, you've got to
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: work on your process. You also have to work on
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Bijan Robinson. To me, like, we're going to do our
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: victory formula at 7 o'clock. I'm going to lay it
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: out right now. Defensive keys number 1, 2, 3, 4,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: and 5 are Bijan, Bijan, Bijan, Bijan, and Bijan. Like,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, the amount of touches and yards that he
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: had compared to everybody else last week is insane. All right,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: we've got to get to Bryce here because they were
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: trying to get Bryce and Coach Canales yesterday, Bone, our
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Charlotte media, to talk about the fact that the last
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: couple times Bryce has gone there, he has gone the
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: heck off. Six total touchdown passes, no interceptions. They have
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: put up a combined 74 points in those two games
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: He had.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: uh, four to 48 yards passing last year. But as
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: you could expect, Bryce young is not going to give
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: you any kind of acknowledgement bone that he cares about
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: what he has done in that building in the past.
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: It's not really something that really enters my mind. It's
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: all about this week. You know, we have a lot
• 31:21
  Speaker 9: of respect for them as a team, as a defense,
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: obviously this division, a division game means a lot for us. There's,
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: you know, it's all about building that confidence this week
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: throughout practice and getting ready.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: To go out there. Damn.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: I wanted Bryce to say... You're not getting Bryce on that.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Don't you want him to say, that's my house. I
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: own that place. Daddy is coming home. You better have
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: your room cleaned up, kids. That's what I wanted to hear.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: I wanted Bryce to say, all the tenants better be
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: ready because the landlord's coming back.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, man. But no, surprisingly, not at all.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Not at all surprisingly.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: He did not say that, but I am looking forward
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: to seeing what he can do down there.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: It's been a great place for the offense, like I said.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: Cam would have said something like that.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: The last two times.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: The last two times, Bone, the offense has been great there.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I will say this.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: The defense has given up 38 and 27 the last
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: two times there. They have both been overtime games, both
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: absolute thrillers. Those last two down there in Atlanta. You
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: act like those are huge numbers.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Not really. That would be great if they did that
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: 21 points down from last week. That's a good point.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: What was I thinking? What was I thinking? A couple
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: of quick tidbits here. Need to point out, Bone, that
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: I never thought that this would happen before, but we
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: have a story that pits Luke Keekly against President Trump, Bone.
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: What?
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: I think most people probably saw President Trump was in
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: town in Gastonia yesterday at the Gastonia airport.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: So anyway, because of that, the Luke Keekly meet and
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: greet scheduled for the Gastonia Whataburger had to be postponed yesterday.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: So 92, what do you have to say to the
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: adoring Luke Keekly fans in Gastonia?
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: What do you have to say to them, 92? They are....
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: Lovely people could use some of that deodorant you were
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: talking about to begin the show.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Wow.
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: Great linebacker, but not as great as me. That's all
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: I'll say for now.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: They will reschedule it, though. Not canceled. They will reschedule it.
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: Also, you've got to— By the way, I hope this— if
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: Wood Keeley gets upset, he runs for president now.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: You've got to, Boney. You've got to find this guy.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: There's a fan that is getting attention, a Panther fan,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: because he got a Bryce Young for MVP tattoo on
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: his leg.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: You need to dig this guy up, Boney. I know.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I know. I saw this. This guy and Bebop. Collision course.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: I want this guy and Bebop in a debate live
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: on the air. Bebop's going to get a tattoo of
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: all the quarterbacks he wants in the next.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Draft on his leg.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: Then you're going to have to get it removed the
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: next year and then put another whole list on there.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: What a move by this guy. Also wanted to mention,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: that's some faith. That's some belief right there, baby. I
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: respect it. Also need to mention, Bone, that Vashti tweeted
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: something out that was killing me. So it was, she says,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: she labels it, John Meche getting some work in on
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: punt return.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: And the punt's in the air.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: And I'm looking at it, and I'm like, come on, baby,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: just catch it, just catch it. Drops the punt.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Drops the punt. So I don't know if that's a
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: bad omen.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: I will say, and shout out to Panthers on Tap.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: They dug this up, Bone.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: We're trying to look for reasons why the coaching staff
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: may have wanted Jimmy Horn waved and back on the
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: practice squad for the time being. Did you see the
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: clip Panthers on tap sent out when Jimmy Horn is
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: in motion and Bryce Young, Bryce.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Young, Jimmy, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Jimmy, you know, Jimmy might, might need a little more
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: prep time. It sounded like me talking to Murphy on
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: the average day.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Did Jimmy Horn bite Bryce on the hand too?
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: When we come back, Beck, we have huge injury news
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: for LSU. we think, maybe, or shenanigans. We've also got
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: legitimate injury updates on South Carolina and North Carolina, and
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: history is not on the side of NC State.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: At Vandy Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: I want Clemson fans to know about me. Every day,
• 35:52
  Speaker 10: every second of the day, I'm just trying to be
• 35:54
  Speaker 10: my best. I work hard, and I just get after it.
• 35:58
  Speaker 10: It's really everything I do. Everything I do, I just
• 36:03
  Speaker 10: try to be an amazing disciple of Christ. Above that,
• 36:07
  Speaker 10: I just try to play football. Just like Coach Sweeney
• 36:10
  Speaker 10: and everybody says, how you do anything is how you
• 36:12
  Speaker 10: do everything. I just try to be my best in
• 36:14
  Speaker 10: every aspect.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: That's Tay Reynolds. Ask what Clemson fans should know about him.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: He had a presser yesterday. Dabo had the day off, Bone.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Dabo gave us so many gems in that presser the
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: day before.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Dabo. He got a day off.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Chad Morris, though, spoke yesterday, complaining about the lack of
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: juice from his offense on Saturday. It was ugly, man.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: That second half against Georgia Southern's defense. That's that, that
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: to me is scary for Clemson fans. And we're certainly
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: not the only ones thinking it find any Clemson fan
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: on the text line. They seem to have just a
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: horrible feeling about this game bone. And it's such an
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: opportunity on the other side for Belichick in the heels.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: The lack of juice Mac is, is not just the, uh,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the team itself. You feel with the, the fan base.
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: We'll see what the environment is like on Saturday, but
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: it's just a, it's a major comedown. And we understand
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: why when you're not having the success that the fan
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: base got used to, but I think lack of juice
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: just sums up everything involving Clemson right now in general. Yeah.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Oh yes.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: No doubt about it, man. And the defense played pretty well.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: And I do think the defense will play pretty well
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: on Saturday, but Are they going to score enough points?
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Can they block the opposition?
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: You were telling me, Bone, because I forgot to look,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: that Melcard Abujabi, the star edge rusher for the Tar Heels,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: is questionable for this game. If he plays to go
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: with Harvey, the Penn State transfer who had two sacks
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: last week, And Xavier Lewis, the kid, has been wrecking
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: shop in the middle. That is a huge mismatch, in
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: my opinion, in favor of the Tar Heels because the
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Clemson O-line has been rough. Well, it's the O-line and
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: a kid making his first start who's got a bright
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: future in Tay Reynolds. But that's a Belichick defensive front
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: and a scheme that you put Belichick back historically against
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: young quarterbacks. Haven't seen it a lot in college, of course,
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: but you're always worried that a young quarterback trying to
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: solve Belichick is going to be a big problem. It
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: feels like now you're seeing the way the defense played
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: late in the year last year, the way the defense
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: has started this year, and you're thinking of Belichick versus rookies.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: I know there was a stat out there for that, right?
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Wasn't there?
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: I feel like for years, like Belichick against rookies, and
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: it just kind of feels like could it be that
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: sort of game where he gets Tate off balance?
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I will say this.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I think Tate's a big-time talent, and I think the
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: kid could be a hell of a quarterback for Clemson.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Moving forward.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: But it's just right now. You know what I mean?
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: And he doesn't have the most help around him. They've
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: got to find a way to run the ball better,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: and he'll help that. But that offensive line has been
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: the biggest problem, man.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: It has been.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the perfect storm of a mess for a
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: young quarterback to have to go and face. uh a
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: belichick defense but like we said uh abu jaudi we'll
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: see flounder thought that they were going to club it
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: up it'll be good to go so we'll see if that's.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: It's a hand injury and i don't know if it's
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: broken but it has been a he's had a cast
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: on it so i would think he's gonna play in
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: a game like this i would think he'll probably play
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: um good i think good injury news bone for south
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: carolina on the injury report Yesterday, ACC SEC teams had
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: to put their injury report out for the Saturday games.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: And Jarius Peek, the NC State transfer tackle, and stud
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: edge rusher Dylan Stewart both are probable. So that's pretty
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: damn good news there. A major boost on both fronts.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: They're going to need them.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: I don't know Brad Crawford indicated the other day about
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: Dylan Stewart being on a pitch count, which makes sense.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: But I think any form of Dylan Stewart in the game,
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: he doesn't need a whole lot of plays to make
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: a huge impact. So hopefully he gets out there. And
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: even if it's 20 snaps, well, you know that he's
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: going to be in on the play on most of
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: those 20 snaps.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, get him out there for the passing downs at
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: the very least. and let him try to get after
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: that stud, Kamario Taylor. It's going to be such a
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: fun matchup.
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: That is going to be... That is going to be
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: a hot one at 415 on Saturday.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Because Columbia is like two degrees cooler than Hades. You
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? It feels like one of the
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: hottest places on the planet.
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: Fitty and I sweated our souls off last year down there,
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: and that was in the middle of October.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Hot, man, hot. But remember that time we were so
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: cold we had to share a blanket down there? Yeah,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: that's true. That was a night game in like November.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: All right. It happened, people. It actually happened.
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: Belichick was 22-8 in the NFL against rookie quarterbacks.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: There you go. It just feels like it. Could he
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: recreate that? But he doesn't necessarily. He has good players,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: doesn't have Patriots players, doesn't have Tom Brady on the
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: other side.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: But that's it. Both these games we're talking about are juicy.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Um, uh, the biggest injury bone, the biggest injury news
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: by far in the country is that last night out
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: of nowhere, no one saw this coming. No one even
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: knew he had any kind of injury. Um, uh, and
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: people still don't know if he has any kind of injury.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Sam Leavitt quarterback for LSU listed as doubtful on the
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: injury report.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: No one had any idea there was any injury at all.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: He played, didn't show any signs of any injury against
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Louisiana tech and Pete Nakos of on three reported that
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: he has been limited with a sore throwing shoulder this week.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: But it sounds like you ain't buying this whole thing
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: from LSU.
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: No, I heard Ian Fitzsimmons on the way in of ESPN.
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: They were replaying his comments overnight. This feels like... Is
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: this gamesmanship from Wayne? Is he going to try to
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: mess around now with the injury report to try to either...
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: you know, mess with Ole Miss or the SEC who
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: it's a, it's a hundred thousand dollar fine, by the way,
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: for messing with or not being truthful with the injury list.
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: It's a very random doubtful out of nowhere. Um, And
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: you wonder, is he messing with Ole Miss? Because it
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: comes the same day that Prince Will got a court
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: summons from the Ole Miss side of stuff. So you
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: wonder if this is just, yeah, you want to send
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: my player a court summons? Well, go ahead and try
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: to figure out what's going on over here. I would
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: be very, very skeptical of this injury report. It definitely
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: feels like it could. Because he went back from... No
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: word on his injury to all of a sudden he's doubtful.
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: It wasn't like a, a comedown of, Oh, we'll have,
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: it's dealing with something. Oh, we'll see on Wednesday.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: What it is. Oh, will he be questionable? He just
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: came straight on. I was doubtful. I know, man. I like,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It feels like it could be lanesmanship
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Wait, Which is his deceitful version of gamesmanship.
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: Because he's also going to want to say, come on, Stanky,
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: find me.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: He's going to try to poke the bear any chance
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: he gets. He's the petulant child. He really is.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: He's trying to remind me of my junior year of
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: high school.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Defiant.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: Just an all-out rebel. Just in constant trouble, constant controversy.
• 43:09
  Speaker 9: Really?
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: What did you do in high school? Oh, boney.
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: We don't have enough time to talk about all the
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: things I did. I missed curfew once and I felt
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: like a badass.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Oh, you missed curfew once. Boy, gee, settle
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: down back there.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: I missed it by a minute. My dad wasn't having it.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Rebel without a cause. What a baby.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: Real quick, I want to mention this NC State thing
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: because this is a game that we're going to have
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: to talk more and more about. We've talked so much
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: about Carolina-Clemson and South Carolina-Mississippi State. This is a mammoth
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: game for NC State. And I saw the short video
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: clip from the OG podcast where Joe Giglio lays out
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: how this is the exact sort of spot where NC
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: State loses games. As if state fans didn't know themselves.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: NC State has not beaten a non-conference power four opponent
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: on the road. Texas Tech in 2002. They have lost
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: 10 straight games against non-conference power four opponents on the
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: road and they'll be at Vanderbilt. Then you talk about
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: SEC games. They did beat Vanderbilt in a bowl game
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: in 2016, but the last regular season win bone for
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: NC State against an SEC opponent was 1999 against Lou
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Holtz and South Carolina in That team in Columbia that
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: year was 0-11. So then Julio says, let me take
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: you back even further. Let's find the last win bone
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: for NC State against an SEC opponent that won a
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: game or more during the regular season.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: You've got to go back to 1977.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: So, like, I'm trying to decide if I'm breaking out
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: the Wolfpack fingers tomorrow. Am I Wolfpacking up? State fans
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: are saying, please don't. History is completely against tempo.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: It is. Yeah, it really is.
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: And there's not a lot of Dave Dorn in SEC
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: venue matchups. A lot of them that he's lost against
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: SEC are in bowl games. The only one, Matt, that
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: he has that's non-neutral side of him, he's only got
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: one win against an SEC team, and it happens to
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: be Vanderbilt.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: So there you go. Maybe that's a good omen. There
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: you go. Maybe that's a good omen. Get those Wolfpack fingers.
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: Up, Maggie.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's a good omen. Maybe that's a good omen.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: All right, we come back here on the Mac and
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: Bone radio program. It will be the 7 o'clock hour,
• 45:29
