• 0:07
  Speaker 1: You guys are the most entertaining sports program in the world.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: No, no, stop twerking. You and I are a couple eating,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: like Lady and the Tramp. You're the lady on the tramp.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, come on.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: Come on, baby.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I wish I was Boopie. Boopie McClain, man. That's a
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: great name.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: All aboard! I think we have to talk now. Good
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: Friday morning, everybody.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure it is, but there is a weekend
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: coming that will involve the Panthers not playing football. We
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: got a lot to talk about on this show today.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: It was another ugly night for the Carolina Panthers.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Another L.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Two L's in one week. This is no fun. And
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: we'll talk about it today on the Mac and Bone Show.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: How are we supposed to feel about last night? What
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: are we supposed to say about the pass protection that
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: is allowed to be said under FCC rules? Um, what
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: do we say about the way Bryce is handling the
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: pressure yet again? Um, and the defense with the injuries,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: what do we say there? And is this team just
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: too damn injured to defend their championship in the South? Like,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: is that like, do we just need to say that?
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Or if we talk about the injuries too much, are
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: we letting people in the organization off the hook? So
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: we got, we got a lot of conversations to have.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: We will find some time to work in, um, A
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: little college football preview or a little college football confidence segment.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: We will give you the couch potato guide of all
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: the sporting events that don't involve the Panthers that you
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: can watch this weekend. So that's coming up, too. But
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: we obviously have tons and tons of Panther reaction. We
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: want to hear it from y'all on the text line.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: As well, we got the bone man in the house
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: wearing South Carolina gear. We got the fit dog in
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the house wearing UNC gear. I am sensing a trend today.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I'm the only idiot willing to wear the Panther hat
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: out today and identify myself.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: What's up, Boney? Mine's going through dry cleaning. Got up.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Little throat tickle, so not going to be able to
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: talk a lot today. I'll just listen, Mac. That's a shame.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: That is a shame. Two of these in one week
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: is really, it's testing my heartburn with headache right now.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: This is one sucks on a Monday reaction show, and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: that's a different form of last night, but it's still
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the same vibes. I mean, it's just two of these
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in one week. I didn't sign up for this. What
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: was our school's name?
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: The Carolina School of Broadcasting.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: I didn't sign up for that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: What was our school's name? Oh, my God. Well, it's
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: now a vacation rentals place, so it's no longer there.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: But the point is, two of these in a week,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: this sucks, man. This just flat out sucks.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: It does. S-U-C-K-S. It does. Have we ever had? There's
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: no way.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Because the only way you would get two in a week, right,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: is with a Thursday night game. Now, we have sucked
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: on Thursday night before, but did we proceed it?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I remember that Pittsburgh game that sort of set off
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a bad era, but we were playing well going into
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that game.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: There was no bad game ahead of time.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: We were both 6-2, I think, or something of that nature.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: We didn't lose beforehand, and we certainly didn't lose by 30.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: The Bears game.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: We beat.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Houston during the rule error when we started 3-0 on
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Thursday night, but we won the previous game, so we
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: were doing well.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I think it was week two we played them.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Bears game, Bryce's rookie year, the Tyson-Bajet game, that was
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: pretty horrible.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: I don't know what we did before that. That's possible.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: They lost.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: But again, I don't know if we lost by 30.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I guess what I'm trying to say is it's very
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: possible this is the worst Panther reaction week we have
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: ever had to endure. With that said, let's jump in
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: and get all pissed off. Why don't we? The offense
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: is so ridiculously hard to watch right now, Bone, with
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: the pass protection issues. I mean, they, and Brad Idzik
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: and company have to try to scheme their way around it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: And they were struggling to do that. The Panthers made
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: it interesting late at 27, 19. I thought at 20,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I thought at 27, 10, they were going to get
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: completely run out of there.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I will give the defense credit bone.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: For getting four stops at the end of the game
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: to kind of, you know, give us a little bit
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: of hope and, But that touchdown drive bone that the
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Panthers had to make it a one score game, like
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: it took everything. Like Bryce Young is there trying to
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: create something out of nothing constantly. And most of the
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: night he could not do that on that drive. He
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: really did, but it was so hard. And that's one
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: of the reasons, by the way, why I did not
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: like the two-point conversion, the old analytics special. I have
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: in the past said that I don't mind it. I
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: don't mind the idea of you cut it to eight,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: go for two, and see if, hey, if I get
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: this two, I can win with a touchdown and extra point.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: It was so hard-boned to get everything we got on
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: that drive. I had no confidence we were going to
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: get a two-point conversion.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: You needed every point possible. You got down there, get
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: more points. You're not really good at them anyway, the
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: two-point conversions. The offensive line is terrible. Although Fitzgerald's no
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: guarantee on the PATs either. That's part of it, too.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: But still, you get the points there because it can be–
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I agree situationally. I understand it. That one, though, I thought–
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: analytics be damned put the point on the board because
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: it can be a little bit.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: You lose momentum it's deflating also you've got all this
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: momentum and you just handed back over we're in the
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: game and then you go oh yeah we're still we
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: got to get down there again and then essentially score
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: twice back down there again i just it's an offense
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: the offensive line gives this team they didn't give them
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: a chance against uh a not very good team at
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: all in Tampa Bay, never mind against a good team
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: in Green Bay, the offensive line gave them absolutely no chance.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: But I'll say this, Green Bay's defense I don't think
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: is as good as Tampa's. And I'll be damn bone
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: if they didn't look like the freaking steel curtain last night.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, Rasheed Walker, I cannot believe how horrible he
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: is playing left tackle. Like, I just, I don't understand
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: how he started year after year for like three years
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: in Green Bay.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: I don't know, it's crazy.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: How on earth did he go a season last year
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: where he had the 11th best pass block win rate? Like,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: how is that possible? Because he is playing absolutely horrible.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Monroe Freeling, my God, the dude is learning. in real time,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: right in front of us. It is rough. The tackles
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: last night, Mike K was quoting next-gen stats. The tackles were,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: there was 22 total pressures in the game, 47% of
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: the dropbacks. 13 of those pressures were from the outside
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: against the tackles. Four of the six sacks were were
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: from the outside against the tackles. Then you could throw
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Luke Fortner in for good measure. He did not have
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: a good night. Those were the three-bone that I thought
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: really stuck out the most last night.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: And it makes Bryce almost look like rookie young Bryce
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Young because he didn't all of a sudden, Matt, just
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: start out as hot as he did and completely regress
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: to years ago. The offensive line, I think it started
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: over time.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: He got.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: He got by it a little bit, Mac, or for
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: a while this year, and it was almost beneficial the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: way he was getting the ball out.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: But it keeps getting worse and worse and worse. And
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: then the.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Quarterback's position is such a mental game. Now he's more
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: worried about the offensive line and what's coming at him
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: than what is going on down the field. Not his fault.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: It's just he has literally no time at all back there.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: They had no ability to throw the ball downfield at all.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Like, and the offensive line's the biggest reason why. But
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: the problem is, Bone, these teams are getting the sacks
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: without blitzing.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: This is a crazy frequency. Three-man rush last night got
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: them once.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, second straight game in a row where they got
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: a sack on a three-man rush. That was Freeland getting beat.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: But this stat is crazy. The Panthers have given up
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: 23 sacks this year. Only three of them have been
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: versus the blitz.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: They can't handle a four man rush or a three
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: man rush. So you know what that means bone, they
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: are getting the Bryce, but they are dropping seven or
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: eight guys into coverage. And so they're able to take
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: away a lot in coverage, but still get home Bryce Young,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: we're going to talk about it. He is not handling
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: the pressure well, and it does bring back memories of
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: early career Bryce.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: There is no doubt about it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: It affects the play calling because they can't do anything.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: They can't establish anything.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: There's no plays that are being– successfully run for the
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: most part, because how do you, Mac, how do you
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: run a play when your quarterback's on his back like
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: a turtle?
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: I would say you, you roll him out and move
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: him out of the pocket. I was very upset with
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: the lack of that last night. I thought that's the
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: obvious answer and they didn't do it a lot. Bryce
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: started doing it on his own on the touchdown drive
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: in the second half.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: They tried it like one time, Mac, and Walker missed
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: a block. And Bryce had to, like, sidearm just to get.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: The ball away.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there was that one. They got him out right
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: the other way. Listen, I'm not saying every play's going
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: to be perfect, but you've got to move him. You've
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: got to get him out of the pocket. The pocket
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: is where he is dying. But I also think Bone.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: What the hell was I going to say? Oh, no,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: this knee injury thing now is a conversation.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: And I can only imagine what some of you kind
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: fellas are going to say on the text line about it.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: But last night, Dave Canales didn't exactly... shoot it down
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: when asked about this knee that has a brace on it.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: And we go back to the knee injury all the
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: way back in the Cleveland game, but he doesn't look
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: like he's moving as well away from the pass rushers.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: So that, so I think now you got to throw
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: in the knee. Bryce Young was asked about it and
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: essentially said, everybody's hurting right now.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: That was not a denial. Like, hey, my knee's fine.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: So you throw that into the mix.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: It's a mess.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: On defense, Bone, I mean, these corners, it's a bless
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: your heart situation at cornerback. I mean, Will Lee goes down, Bone,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: with what is a hamstring injury. They're now down. Evans
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: is out. They're now down their top four corners. So
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: they're playing corners five, six, and seven. It's just– it
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: is brutal. Oh, by the way, you don't have Phillips.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Your pass rush is nonexistent. They did stuff to run, though.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I'll give them that. I'm more miffed by the offense
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: today than the defense. I'm not saying the defense, Matt,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: can't be discussed, and it was– It was really all
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: that great. But I knew that Green Bay was going
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: to score points. We kind of knew what they were
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: going to do. We knew Watson was going to get
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: his yards.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I thought the offense, Matt, could at least be good
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: enough to match them more than they did. So the defense,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: not great, but the offense and the offensive line was the–
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: was the horror show last night.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: I thought you had a great tweet.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Not great from what it was, but just a tweet, Matt,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: that summed up the entire night last night. We had
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: dudes from Green Bay go to the hospital, ride the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: ambulance back like they were in the WWE, run back
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: to the field because they wanted more yards in this game,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: and then they finished the game with a big catch
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: to put the nail in the coffin last night. Dudes
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: coming back from the hospital to get back in that
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: game last night when they saw these Panther corners.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: What a tweet that was. Sprinting. sprinting.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: You can't convince me if Mike, Jack and horn were
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: in the game, that dude would have been sprinting back
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: like that. This dude was like, there are tutties to
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: be had. And you see what love did when he
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: went back in, forced the ball to him. Nick Scott
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: should have had a pick one time and ended up
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: having it. The second time, oh, no, I thought the defense,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: when you consider everything, I thought the defense definitely played
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: better than the offense.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: I don't even think it's close.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: The offense can't function because of the offensive line. And, man,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Brad Itzik has to earn his damn money. If he
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: is the boy wonder genius that we thought he was
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: after five games, dude, he's going to have to get
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: to work during this mini-bye and come up with something.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Because that offensive line, that's like playing with two hands
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: tied behind your damn back.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: And I think it was Josh Norris, Mac, longtime friend
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: of the show, former intern, that tweeted out last night,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: when the offensive line is this bad, when you're trying
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: to figure stuff out. Oh, by the way, they have
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Denver coming up, and they still have Minnesota and Seattle
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: on the schedule. So the toughest defenses they'll face all year,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: they've not seen them yet.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's rough, man. It is rough as hell. And
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: that's the thing, is do you just blame injuries? We
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: didn't have Moten. We didn't have Damian Lewis. But you
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: can't blame it. Well, I mean, I guess you could
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: blame the icky injury. for the Walker situation. Although Dan
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Morgan went to the well to try to get a
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: swing tackle and I'll be damned if it don't look
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: like a swing and a miss. But like Icky Iquanu
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: now all of a sudden, you know, looks, I don't
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: think we've loved him this much his whole tenure.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? People are dying to see
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: him play football again. I suggest a topic, Max, 7
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: o'clock is icky in the Ring of Honor now.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, God, it's frustrating. And they still made it a game.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: It's frustrating. You, Bone, were so close to picking the score.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: It's unbelievable. You were one point off on each team. Yeah,
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: I was. Unfortunately, it wasn't the Panthers winning.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: You had 28-20 Packers, but you thought it would be
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: prettier than that, though?
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Like.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine when you said that that you thought
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: offensively it was going to look like that.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I didn't think they would have to kind of– I
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: thought they kind of had to rally to make it close.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I thought it would be closer throughout the game than
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: it ended up. They made it close at the end.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I thought it would be more back and forth than
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: it really was.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: They forced three turnovers, which is good.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: My man Kuwocz. With the forced fumble. Coup!
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Right on the first play of the game, opening kickoff.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Al Michaels, by the way, just three seconds ago realized
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: it was a fumble. That man's on a delay, ain't he?
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: That man is on his own personal delay. God bless you, Al. Well,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: he's on the betting apps. He's got a lot going
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: on up there. He's got Peter Herbstreit there as a spotter.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: But they forced three turnovers, Bone, and turned it into
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: three points. Like, they just blew chances to get points
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: off these damn turnovers. So there's a lot of crap
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: to dissect and talk about and vent about on this
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: show today, and we will certainly do it.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: I do want to mention tonight.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: You should have a Panther Wasp septic sponsor that cleans
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: all this mess up.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: How has that not been thought of until now? There's
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: been plenty of efforts worthy of it.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Hey, sales, this Panther Wasp recap is brought to you
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: by JoJo's Septic.
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: Well, there was a difference in the postgame from this
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: loss compared to Sunday, Mac. They weren't talking about flushing
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: this one.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Although Bones' tease just got ruined by Finney there with
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: that comment.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Come on, Fit Baby. Look at your grid, man. Don't
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: spoil the teases.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Don't spoil your teases. Here's the tease. What did it
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: sound like in the postgame?
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Because Fitty has now revealed that they were not talking
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: about flushing this loss. So what did it sound like?
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: What did they say? That's coming up. Let's touch on
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: what's coming up tonight.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: That's my bad. It's all good.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Whatever you do today, you can't screw up anywhere near
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: as bad as the Panthers offensive line. If I start
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: yelling at you, come over and sack me like I'm
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Bryce Young. I don't care how I can't speak. I
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: don't care how incompetent you think someone is at their job.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: There is no way they're doing as bad as what
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: those five dudes are doing.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: My God.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: As I tweeted out last night during the game, I
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: have no fear of making comments about the Panthers' offensive
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: line on Twitter.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: None of them can block me.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: That's well played right there. That's good snark. I had
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of time last night. That's good fan snark
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: right there.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: Who was the worst offensive lineman last night?
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: Because Luke Fortner in the first handful of drives, pathetic.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: The tackles were the biggest issue. Rasheed Walker.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: Mac, if we were healthy enough, you're talking about in-season
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: cut candidates. That's not a starting left tackle in this league.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: That's not a backup left tackle. But he was for
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: three years.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Explain to me how he survived starting three years for
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: a good football team.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Probably because Green Bay put.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: A tight end over there with him. Like, we're at
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: the point now, there needs to be a tight end
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: with him on every freaking play.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: If we want to criticize Brad Idzik today, I said
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: roll Bryce out more. That's another place to go. But again,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: you can't help both tackles.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: You can't.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: And by the way, Micah Parsons didn't even play. Let
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: me get to it. Let me get to tonight.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sure he wanted to last night during the game.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: He didn't come running out there. All right.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Let's get to tonight in sports because we're going to
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: move on and watch non Panther sports this weekend. We've
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: got the Hornets tonight against the, the wizards. They will
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: play tonight bone. We still have no con Kobe or Grant,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: but But we do have some good con news. He
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: is probably pretty damn close to playing basketball in a
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: game because yesterday he went and practiced with the Greensboro Swarm.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I saw one of the, I wish I could give
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: proper credit, one of the guys that covers the Hornets
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: saying that last year when LaMelo went to practice with
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: the Swarm, he was playing in a game three days later.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: So this is probably a sign it's pretty close. We
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: also have this Dennis Schroeder injury, which is concerning. Because
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: do we want would Christian Anderson start a point guard
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: or they probably play see on a point move.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Grayson Allen in. Yeah. Whatever it is, it's not it's
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: not good.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I want Christian Anderson guarding Trey Young.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: That doesn't seem like ideal.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: Although Trey Young sometimes guards Trey Young. That's a good point. Yeah.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Maybe just don't even guard him.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: But anyway, like that's not ideal with Kobe White out.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Schroeder is questionable with a foot injury. So that's kind
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: of part of tonight. Unfortunately too, uh, we do have
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: some details bone on the Nas Reed situation. Um, the
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: benching that had y'all emotional. Can we, can we talk
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: today about something you really should be screaming about? Cause
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: yesterday I could not believe the tone about this Nas
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Reed benching, God forbid a coach coach.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: But anyway, um, uh, today, feel free to scream. I
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: will not stop you. Um, So I guess KB talked
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: to some folks about it.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: His information was essentially the same as what Rod Boone
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: was sharing, that Nas Reed said something. I'm going to guess, Bone,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: it was the video clip that was floating around when
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: they went to the bench for a timeout right after
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Nas Reed kind of... jog back after a turnover that
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: he made. Um, but Nas Reed said something to Charles Lee,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: that Charles Lee, that, that is just a no, no to.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Say to a coach.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: And Charles Lee, according to KB went into the locker,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: went in at halftime, found Jeff Peterson said, I want
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: to bench him. Here's what he said to me. Jeff
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Peterson said, go ahead by all means and bench him.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: And that's what ended up happening. So, um, That adds a.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Little bit more context. Yeah.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: And for the people that are saying, why isn't C
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: on bench because he's missing shots? Big difference between missing
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: shots and saying something disrespectful to your coach. Oh, yeah.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: One's performance. One is showing up your coach.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: I did hear back what he said to him, by
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: the way.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, what's that?
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: He said, you are not half the pickleball player Sam
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Farber is. And Charles Lee said, what'd you say to me?
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: What did you say to me? That'll do it. That's
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: the pickleball rivalry there in the summertime.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: That'll do it.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Mag, I've got a tease for you. You going to
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: say something? Yeah, I was just going to mention Charlotte tonight.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: At the Jerry is hosting Tulane Walker male and his
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: tailgating rabble rousing buddies will be in attendance for this one. Um, Charlotte, uh,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: what do we see? They, they, they had a bye
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: week after, you know, the effort against temple, uh, Can
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: they run it with Rutledge? Does Harrell continue to get
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: the ball to receive? They look like a functioning offense.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: They're 10-point underdogs. They're 10-point underdogs, but that's a lot
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: different than usual this year. So they've closed that gap here.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: When we come back, Mackers, a never-before-tease here. We have
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: sounds of the Panthers. What was said postgame by Coach
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Canales and the players? And... Did any of them dare
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: say flush this one?
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: I wonder if they said that again after the game.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I felt good to say that. Sports Radio,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: 92.7 The Flush.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: Shout out to the defense. I thought the defense played great. Um,
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: they gave us the ball a few times, obviously, uh,
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: at the beginning of the game as well. Um, on kickoff,
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: that was a huge play. So many huge plays the
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: defense had made. And like I said, we just got
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: to do a better job executing, uh, against a great
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: team like green Bay. When you get opportunities like those,
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: you've got to make the most of them. That's how
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: you put a team away. And, uh, we just came
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: up short today. It's unfortunate. Um, pissed off to be honest. Um,
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: But all I can do is just go back to work,
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: rally the guys, look at what we've got to fix,
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: and then move forward.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: That is Shuba Hubbard.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: There was a four-letter word in the postgame presser yesterday
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: from Chuba in addition to telling everybody he is pissed off.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: And that would be your answer, Bone, to the question,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: did the Panthers come out with the, yeah, we just
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: got to forget about that one and flush it. Chuba
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Hubbard was not about that. He was tremendous in the postgame.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: And quite honestly, he was very good in the game.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Behind this banged up, struggling offensive line. He fought his
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: ass off for every yard in the run game. He
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: also bone caught a career high seven passes, including one
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: on an amazing play by Bryce. Probably the only amazing
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: play where he stepped.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Up in a pocket.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Of course, he was under pressure and just kind of
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: jumped and floated it to Chuba on the touchdown drive
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: in the second half. Chuba made a great catch. But
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: that's about the only probably good play I will talk
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: about on offense. But, yeah, there was no Derrick Brown talking.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: There was no flush it. Now, also, I will say, Bone,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: one of the– We're going.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: To flush it. If they won't flush it, we will, Bone,
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: because it's leaving a stink. Keeps coming back up.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: One of the tones of the press conference, though, was like,
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: we are going to stick together. We will not splinter.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: We will not like, you know, there won't be infighting
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: or any of that stuff. Do you fear that at
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: all with this team?
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: No, I don't.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: I don't think that is is how this team is
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: internally built. I don't think they're like that, so no,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: I don't worry about that.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Are they mad? Yeah, but I don't think they're mad
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: at each other.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Do you think if they keep losing, it could be
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: like that?
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. Not this group.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: I just think if this thing's going to get really bad,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I think they can handle it over there. I think
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: the culture's good enough in that way, but I also think, like,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: it's what the guys on Prime were saying last night
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: after the game. They asked Richard Sherman, you said before
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: the game that Panthers are the best team in the South.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Do you still believe that? Richard Sherman. I've never seen
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: the guy not talk. You know what I mean?
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: That'd be like me shutting up. Not since Smitty shut
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: him up.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: He did not know what to say because he says
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: the division is so winnable, but this offensive line may
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: prevent them from being able to do anything offensively.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: And I think that's where everybody is at this morning.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: It's like.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: It feels like it's going to take a miracle bone
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: offensively to be competent with the way this Ola and
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: the book is out too. So that you saw the
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Packers bone blitz and like crate, like they just start
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: targeting this offensive line.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: And I think, I think what's frustrating to us is.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Winning the South is one thing, and we did it
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: last year. Can we get two in a row? That
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: would be a cool thing if they did it, Mac,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: entering the season. But we wanted them to be more
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: than that. We wanted them to not only win the South,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: but to go win a playoff game, advance further, start
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: to make that progress. To me, yeah, that would still
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: be a win to make the postseason back-to-back years, but
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: we also want to see progress within that.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: And right now where they are, there's not progress happening.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Like I I've now just, I don't care if you
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: win seven games and you win the division. Like I,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: like I would take any way to win this division
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: now because this offensive line, I just, I'm not comfortable.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I'm sitting on the couch and I'm afraid. It's just,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: it is ugly to watch, man. I got a text
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: from our guy, Andy, who's a big, a big listener
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: to the show and the station bone, big Panther fan.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: He's like offensive line play like this is just a
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: horrible watch. Now, when it's your team, right? When the
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: other team's doing it, it's great to watch. But it's
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: just everything is hard. They can't do anything. Bone, they
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: had eight drives, eight possessions that went eight yards or less.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: How the hell do you do that? Eight possessions where
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: they didn't get more than eight yards.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: Some of these drives you blinked and they were over. Over. Done, man.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Done. I mean, it's like how are they– how is
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: it four down already? They just got the ball like
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: 20 seconds ago.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: So true. There was one drive. So true, dude.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I had to look at the drive, you know, the time.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: There was one drive, I swear to you, that they–
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: like eight seconds came off the clock. I'm being sarcastic,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't long. It wasn't much.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: All right, so let's get to some of this audio
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: from the postgame. I think it was the end of
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the first half when they– Yeah, something like that.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Let's get to, I mean, they've got how long all
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: the possessions went, Boney. End of the first half, you're saying? Yeah,
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: somewhere near the end of the first half, they had
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: a very quick possession. They had a 31-second possession.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there was. Three and out with no yards gained.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: That's what it was. And a penalty.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: And a penalty thrown in. I had two Pringles and
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: the drive was over. God, man.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: Only two Pringles in 31 seconds? Get your chip game up, bro.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: It was four Pringles. Alright, let's get to some of
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: these cuts here.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Coach Canales, after the game, was asked about the pressure
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: Bryce Young is facing these last two weeks.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a mix of things. It's good pressure
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: plans that we've got to make sure we do a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: good job of giving them solutions when they do have
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: overloaded pressures and zero looks and things, but It wasn't
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: just that. They got after us with some four-man rushes
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: and some stunts that we didn't pass off well. That
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: created a little bit of pressure there as well. So
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: just the whole thing, we've got to make sure we
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: have better solutions. Brad and I, the whole group, will
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: talk about that, and we'll improve that.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: That is Coach Canales talking about the pressure. I mean,
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: I think it's just these guys are getting their rear
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: ends whipped, and they're probably not enough help, Bone, from
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: tight ends either.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: No, it's a collective front line mishap going on right
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: now up there. I mean, there are so many problems
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: up there. I mean, yes, Rasheed Walker has his name
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: up there on the marquee right now, but everybody's bad
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: up there right now.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually thought the backup guards were the best.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: I thought Bullock, before he got hurt, and add insult
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: to injury, we lose Will Lee and we lose Bullock.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: The two positions that are absolutely devastated by injury and
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: we lose more.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: But I actually thought Bullock and Kurhan were the best. Yeah, no,
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: they weren't.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Hunt was a bit better in pass protection than Fortner
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: in the two tackles, but Robert Hunt on that fourth
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: and two, and I don't know about you, I didn't
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: have a problem with Canales going for it fourth and
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: two around the 50. It felt like, man, we got
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: to do this. If not, you know what I mean?
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Green Bay going to score anyway. And it was Robert
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Hunt missed a block and Chuba didn't get to two yards.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: He just couldn't hold his block.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: By saying those guys were the best, you mean they
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: weren't road graded quite as bad as the other guys.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. Definitely not perfect. There's a current at
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: a rough snap. The stunts continue to be a problem.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: The twist in the stunts continue to be an issue
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: for this offensive line, regardless of who's in there. All right,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: let's get back to Canales here because he was talking.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: He was asked about Bryce. Like, is he diagnosing the
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: place pre-snap incorrectly?
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: Is that happening?
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I just think it comes down to a protection
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: plan deal for us because when we give Bryce time,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: he's shown his ability to be able to spread the
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: ball around, distribute it, find accurate throws in traffic and
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: all those things. And I'm confident that if we shore
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: that part up, which we will, when we shore that
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: part up, Bryce will be back in his rhythm, making
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: his throws that he can.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: You can diagnose plays all day, but if you have
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: half a Green Bay on top of you, it doesn't matter.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: You could say, oh, here's the play. Here's where the
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: defense is coming from.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Well, guess what?
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: If they're on top of him in 1.8 seconds, it
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter what it is.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: He said in there, when we get the protection figured out,
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: I hope he's right.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: I hope they can figure.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: It out.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: But again, there, there, there's an obvious question of Is
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: the personnel not just good enough? I continue to ask
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: the question about Sam Hecht. Is Sam Hecht the offensive
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Corey Thornton? It's a complete dire circumstance. Luke Fortner is
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: really struggling, and Sam Hecht can't get any run?
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: I was just going to bring that up, actually. I
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: don't know. Because if he's not going to get run
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: right now, then that tells me, yeah, he's simply not
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: ready either.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: But the first round offensive lineman is getting— It handed
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: to them. So I don't know if they just feel
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: like the same thing would happen with Heck, but it's
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: happening with Fortner.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Also, like Fortner got ran over right away last night.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: As soon as the game starts, Fortner's getting blasted by.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: No doubt about it. It was it was right away.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: And then his buddies jumped in from there on out.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: And it is. God, it's frustrating to watch. Willie P's
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: asking about Brady Christensen. How can he not be one
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: of the best five? That's a good question. That's a
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: hell of a question, too. Good job, Big Peasy. That's
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: a hell of a question, too. Hey, guys. Dave Canales, essentially,
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: and his versatility, too, is important, right? Yeah. Could you
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: not try him at one of the tackle spots over
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: Rasheed Walker at some point? What do you have to
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: lose at this point? I can't imagine it can be worse.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: But, yeah, Dave Canales, a couple weeks ago, was asked
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: about Brady Christensen and basically said, yeah, he could come back.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: He's healthy enough. But he kind of said he felt
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: good about his depth in the interior.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: I have some upsetting news, Mac. It might not be
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: the right time for this, but I do want to
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: point out that my streak of... winless games in person,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: college and pro, 0-11 since 2021, I will be at
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: the Denver.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: Game the next game out. You know what, though?
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: No one's going to blame you. It can't be my fault.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Might as well let me in there this time. What
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: if I get a win? Turn things around. That would
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: be a plot twist. Tara also is going with me.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe she's the good luck. She just realized what my
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: record is and now she's thinking, how did she get
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: out of going to this game with me?
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, don't worry, girl. You won't be blamed for it.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: The offensive line in Bone will be blamed before you, Tara.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: Exactly. You are safe, Tara. You are safe of any blame.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Matter of fact, I'm excited that she'll be there because
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: you and Finney.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: Was not a good combination. You know what I mean?
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: Me and MFG was terrible. That was a rough combination.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, so we got to get to Texter saying Brady's
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: probably still hurt. No, Canales essentially admitted like a week
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: and a half ago that Brady could play. But they
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: were choosing not to bring him back off IR because
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: they felt all right about the interior depth. But again,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: I would try him at offensive tackle. And you get
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: the feeling, Bone, they will not bench Rob Hunt.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: No.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Like, you get the feeling that that is, like, a
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: non-starter in their minds.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Whether it should be or not. I'm not sure it
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: should be a non-starter.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get to one more thing, because this
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Bryce Young knee injury situation is going to be discussed today.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Can't wait till Amit gets a hold of this one, Bo,
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: and says he's seen the medical reports and Bryce's knee
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: is fine. Bryce is wearing a knee brace, and I
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: would think if you're honest about it, you have to admit...
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: He has not looked the same trying to escape pressure
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: the last two weeks. Um, so Bryce Young was asked
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: about that and he gave a typical Bryce answer.
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm fine.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Uh, everyone's dealing with some of this point of the
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: year's football.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: Um, nothing like that as an excuse.
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: Uh, go out there and play the game.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Blessed to be able to do that. That's all that matters.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: We haven't seen you run as much in terms of
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: escaping the pocket lately.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Is that a little lagger?
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: No, I'm not thinking about that at all.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just.
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm thinking about that.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: So he doesn't want to talk about it.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's lost his bounce, the ability that he had
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: early in the season to step up, move left, move right,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden he's gone. Right now he's
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: just a sitting duck back there. The combination, I think,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: of whatever's going on there with the offensive line is
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of what we're seeing right now.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: He also looks like mentally he is not handling the pressure.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: None of us are. You know what I mean?
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: But I do wonder about the knee and is he
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: less mobile and that. So there's some definite questions because
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Bryce Youngbone was thriving. while facing the most pressure in
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: the league through like the first four games. And these
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: last two weeks, it's just insurmountable. It's also on him
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: so quick the last two weeks. But he's getting stuck
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: in that pocket the last couple of weeks. So anyway, man,
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: feel free to send your texts in. What the hell's
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: going on? And is there any way to try to
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: pull this thing together with the offensive line situation we got?
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: All right, when we come back, we're going to take
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: a deep breath. We're going to.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Take a Panther segment off and try to ease our
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: minds with the Couch Potato Guide, your guide to sports
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: on TV this weekend, 7 o'clock, all full of Panther stuff.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: But next, Couch Potato Guide, Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: So many people have reached.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Out.
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: I think the older I got, the more emotional I became.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: I can't believe this.
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: But, yep, Coach Wade, You know, who's been out, been
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: like a father to us. Really, you know, just laid
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: it all on them, laid it all out. It turns
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: out where it all started, where I've come from. So, damn,
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: I thought I was going to do this.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: That is Muggsy Bogues.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Yesterday, the Panthers put on a press conference for Muggsy
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: to discuss the announcement this week, Bone, that his number.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: Will be retired.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: And he got emotional when asked about his Dunbar folks.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Dunbar High School in Baltimore was an absolute basketball juggernaut.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Great 30 for 30 on them a number of years ago.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: They were so good. NBA talent, great college basketball talent.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Reggie Williams from Georgetown, he was part of that, right?
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he mentioned him. He shouted him out yesterday.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: But he got emotional when I asked about how those
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: guys contacted him. He talked about Coach Bob Wade, who
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: was a legend there. And, man, it got tearful. It's
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: funny because I was bouncing through the presser on YouTube
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: trying to find that clip because I knew it happened.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, let me find the emotional clip.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: And as I bounce through, I notice at the end
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: there's a box of Kleenexes sitting there on the table.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: And I'm like. That wasn't there at the beginning.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: So I was able to go be like, okay, when
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: did the Kleenexes show up? And right before that was,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: that was where he got emotional. Muggsy, good for you, man.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: And they don't just love you in Baltimore, brother. They
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: love you here in Charlotte, North Carolina. It is, uh,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: it has been your home for years, your second home. And, uh, man,
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: he deserves every bit of the adulation he's going to
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: get bone on that night.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: Cosign. Absolutely. No doubt about it. Big time, big time.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: So let's get to the games bone that we will
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: watch this weekend, that there will not be a Panther
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: player on the field during.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Can we extend this segment out a couple segments today?
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: You just want to do this all day? Just talk
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: about the other games? It's not a bad idea.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: God, we need a Panther-free weekend, and we need to
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: watch other sports. Although there's no guarantee, y'all, that the
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: rest of y'all's teams are going to cheer you up.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: There's no guarantee.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: But let's talk about what to watch when. So we
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: mentioned this at the start of the show. We got
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: a Friday night with a couple of Charlotte teams playing.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: You've got the Charlotte 49ers hosting Tulane. If you're not
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: going to the game tonight, that game is on ESPN2
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: at 7 o'clock. Hornets, Wizards, WSOC TV tonight at 7 o'clock.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Of course, WFNZ if you need to listen to it.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: And then you also have Bone. The Hornets on Saturday night.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: I guess I'll throw this one in a little early. Back-to-back,
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: they will return home to take on the Sixers. A
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: little Halloween night game tomorrow night on TV64 at 6.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Short FC, 1 p.m. tomorrow. Just wanted to throw that
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: in there. It's early, yeah. Of the non-football games. Yeah,
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: it's an early one tomorrow.
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: The college football slate tomorrow at noon. You've got a
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: couple of local teams involved. What will NC State do
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: in their first game post-Dave Doran? They're hosting Cal at
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: noon on the ACC Network. Boston College. The suddenly hot
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Boston College Eagles.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: Boston College and Stanford are starting to put wins together.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: They are.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Ran for 399 against Georgia Tech, and Duke's only favored
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: by seven. Tougher matchup, I think, than you would imagine
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: that being. I think that's going to be a close game.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Duke's hosting them noon.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: It's the Wes Bryant special bone on the CW tomorrow
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: at noon. Arizona-Texas Tech is a pretty interesting game. Two
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: ranked teams nationally. Texas Tech trying to bounce back. Arizona
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: trying to stay hot. That's noon on ESPN. Auburn Ole Miss.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: An interesting one. Can Auburn go to Ole Miss and
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: give them fits like they did Georgia? That's 12-45 on
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: the SEC Network. Although, Ole Miss is in a bounce-back situation, right?
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Yes. Ole Miss is probably going to kick their hineys.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: More on that later when I do my picks with Picante.
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: All right. A little teaser Rudy there for you.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: A little Notre Dame Navy, ABC at noon, a little Wisconsin, Iowa, 13-10er,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: noon on Fox.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Don't watch that while drowsy.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, so the afternoon games, Temple is at ECU 3 o'clock.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: on ESPN +. Then you get to the three. Everything's
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: kind of staggered in this window. 3.30, you've got Florida,
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Georgia on ABC. You've got Minnesota and Indiana on CBS.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: And then you get to a couple of games that
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: are shortly after 3.30 of local interest. Virginia at Wake,
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: that's ESPN2 at 3.45. And then your Gamecocks bone trying
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: to stay hot. At Oklahoma, 415 SEC Network. I think
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: they will stay hot. So you're feeling good. You're feeling
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: frisky about that one.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: I actually feel more confident right now in South Carolina.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: I'm a little concerned about that Duke matchup there, to
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: be honest with you there. Also, Mackers, Florida, Georgia. I
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: have no idea what direction to think about that game
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: because it's not at the normal Jacksonville site this year.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: It's in Atlanta because of construction or whatever's going on
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: down there. Georgia's favored by 11.5 or 12, but we
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: have no clue what Florida may show up. The team
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: that got absolutely trounced by Missouri and South Carolina or
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: the team that beats Texas and beats Ole Miss, I
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: have absolutely no idea what Florida team may show up tomorrow.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: I can see them pulling off an upset or getting
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: run off the field.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: They are so hard to predict what's going to happen.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: I think Georgia shows back up after they've been off
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: for a while. But in terms of Florida, I got
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: no clue tomorrow.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: I would be utterly shocked if Georgia doesn't win the game. Now,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: does Florida push them? Yeah, that's the question you're asking,
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: I think. I'm pretty sure Kirby Smart has screamed at
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: them for two weeks straight since the Auburn loss.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: They had a bye last week.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: I would be utterly shocked if Georgia doesn't play with
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: a purpose tomorrow. All right, so the night games, 6.30,
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: app at Georgia Southern, ESPN +.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: Georgia Southern favored by five and a half tomorrow. Damn.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: They're the best defense in the Sun Belt right now.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: People are thinking that there's going to be a letdown
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: after the JMU win.
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: I was looking all over at for that game, so
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: I did some research on it there just to see
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: what's going on with the spread.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: That is interesting.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: That is a juicy, juicy thought of going at plus
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: the 5.5 there.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: No love lost in that one, man.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: Then you get to 7 o'clock, Clemson at Florida State,
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: ACC Network. Miami, number one in the country at UNC,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: the big ABC 730 game. And I'll also throw in
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Ohio State, Boney, at USC, the NBC game. We get
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: to first look at the backup QB, whose name I
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: have forgotten. who will get his first start in this game.
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: I would expect him to look better, Bone, than he
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: did when they yanked the clipboard out of his hands
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: and he had to go in for saying who got hurt.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: I would expect him to look better, but we'll see.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: We'll see. At least he gets the USC defense to
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: go against. Luke Fahey is the quarterback. There you go.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: Also feels like USC is.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Going to start to trend down, and Lincoln Riley's time
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: might be coming to an end there at Southern Cal.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Feels like they're at that point in the season where
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Southern Cal starts to disappoint.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: We'll see.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: I can honestly say there are a lot of predictions
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: I get wrong.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: I didn't buy one damn bit of USC hype this season.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: Even as they were, especially as they were struggling to
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: beat my sorry Penn State Nittany Lions.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Matt, the UNC-Miami game, I've seen a lot of split.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of split people on that in
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: terms of the spread because Miami's favored by, you know,
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: 15 there. I've seen some people just automatically say blow
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: out Miami, they cover. Other people are saying, hold on,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: is this a Notre Dame situation where the heels can
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: at least– maybe cover that spread and kind of hang
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: in there like they did against the Irish. I'll tell
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: you this. I've seen a lot of differing opinions on
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: this one. The Irish are not as explosive as Miami.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Not close.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: I just like, if the Heels don't find a way
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: bone to force turnovers or force Miami to kick field goals,
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: the Heels ain't, if Miami gets to scoring, the Heels
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: ain't playing.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: That kind of game. Yeah, that's true. You know what
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: I mean?
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Like, so this one, the Heels got it. Hopefully they
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: can make this thing ugly. I'm not sure they can.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: I just don't think they have the offense to stay
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: close even in a shootout.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: They've done very well against Miami in the last decade
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: or so. What, six in a row, Finney? Is that
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: what it is?
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: Somebody is. We got Heels bone, baby.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying that those would be the reasons
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: for hope, right, Fit Dog?
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but that was a different version of Miami.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, boy. Did you go right back there, Finn? No.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Nobody is. Bone's trying so badly to sell heels. God
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: forbid I try to lift the spirits of my neighbors.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: You're always looking out for heels fans, Bone. I've never
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: seen Finney. Did you go Belichick.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: On me there? It's different. Different game. Different time.
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, if Carolina covers, I'm counting that as a win.
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: I think that's a fair way to look at it.
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: I think this has blowout written all over it.
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: God forbid I try to help people out around here.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, we celebrated Wake for only losing by 13
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: to Miami, and Wake's a legit ranked team. We think
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: Carolina can keep it as close as Wake did?
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: I would probably say no, but I'm just telling you
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: that there are some people out there that think that UNC.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: Can cover it. are you okay i told you i
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: got a throat tickle oh.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: My god all right anyway i do want to mention
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: the nascar race i'm having a heart attack uh we
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: get to watch nfl sunday without the panthers um we
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: also get uh the cup series race at martinsville second
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: to last race to the season just want to leave
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: this here kyle larson has a chance to wrap things
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: up before they even get to.
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: Homestead for the final race of the season.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: I would love that, and I would say, Smoke Ludwig,
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: screw him. Thank you for your new playoff system, Smoke Ludwig.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: We have wrapped it up before the final race of
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: the season, but I'm not sure that's going to happen,
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: and I probably shouldn't talk too much about it.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: Mackey does championships.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: When we come back here on the Mac and Bone show,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: we talk more about last night's game where the Panthers
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: came up short against the Packers. Who do we blame
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: for this loss? Is it all the offensive line? How
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: frustrating is it? A full-blame segment for the second time
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: this week.
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: This is fun.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
