• 0:18

• 0:20
  Speaker 1: learn how to speak. Apparently before the season. Our next
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: guest man, we have been talking about him. He's been
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a story this training camp. Starting on the right side
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: with Taylor moten Out. He is Monroe Freeling, first round
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: draft Bick Monroe. Welcome to the show. How you doing, man?

• 0:36
  Speaker 1: How's the NFL life?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Like? Is it stressful? Is it? How different is it
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: from being the student athlete to Georgia.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: No, I think it's easier having no Classay's definitely the
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: intensity he's picked up. So it's been good and it's
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: been fun to really just focus on football and that's it.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: How does playing at a high level with the SEC
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: at Georgia help you immediately come in and help out
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: like you are going to do.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I really think it's the way we practice. Like comparing
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: in like the fall camps, I mean like training camps,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I'd say that this one is relatively easier compared to
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: schedule and I have a lot more time to know,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: get my body right and kind of focus on football,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: look at my plays. And so coming from Georgia is
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: such an intense schedule. Not to mention like how we
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: practice the tempo, it's pretty similar to that we practice
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: here with the Panthers.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: So you are a coach says hey, I had a
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: plan where he's battling on the left side with Rashid Walker.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: We get the unfortunate news with Timo and man, I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: hope he gets well. But there you already says hey,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: it's go time. Now, we got to put you on
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the right side. What has it been like over there
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: early on? And are you are you feeling like, oh
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: crap or are you feeling like, hell, yeah, I got
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I got this. How are you feeling about it?
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, I enjoy being thrust in the fire like this.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I think it forces me to get better faster. So,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: you know, having this opportunity, you know, you know, God
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: forbidd you know, team out right, but you know, being
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: this position and being able to you know, get better
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: so fast, and you know, it is definitely a little
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: bit of a learning curve just from you know, a
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: flexibility standpoint. Like the plays are the same, but you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: your hips and your ankles are a little more flexible
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: on the other side. And so for at least his
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: first practice, I think it was just kind of getting
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: used to the flexibility point and kind of redefining my set,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: going back to the the basics.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: What's it been like to play with Rob Hunts so far?
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: We always laugh and marvel at his quotes and everything
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: he's about. What's it been like to play next to
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Big Rob?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's super helpful, you know.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I think one of the first things he said is like, hey,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: you know, you let me know what you need, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I'll let you know what I need.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And we'll communicate.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: So he's been super helpful, just you know, being communicated,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: and especially the run game. He says, you know, we
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: don't get being the run game, and you know, coming
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: from Georgia, you know, our identity was also due so
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: same thing that the Panthers is just carried on.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: We were talking, we're talking about Roe Freely. He is
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: now right tackle as of right now for the Carolina Panthers.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I was talking to coach Canalys about this. So many
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: of the scattered reports that I read on you either
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: before the draft or once you got drafted and we're like, hey,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: this is our guy. They did the physical stuff, they
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you know, oh my god, the upside of him, the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: length and all that, but they bring up the work role.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: You've probably heard this. Does this bother you? Do you
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: kind of feel like that's BS or do you kind
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: of view it like, yeah, there's there's a lot of
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: technique I can improve, Like how do you view that?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's like, Okay, I'm raw because
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I don't have a lot of games with my belt.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: But I came from a program that went and developed tackles,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: and you know, I think that I would have gone
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: to this point if I didn't have no upside to
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: me and also at least some technical aspects, and so
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I can always improve on my game. And I'm not
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: saying I'm a perfect player, but to say I'm raw, well,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I mean I got to this point and I'm gonna
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: continue to get better. So I'm gonna put my head
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna be competitive and I'm gonna enjoy playing football.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Monroe, that I love you moment after you got drafted
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: that now, no, you're in a safe space, and I
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: love you guy myself? Is that something natural? Where you said,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: did you just like kind of lose yourself in the moment?
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I mean I was definitely trying not to cry first.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: And you know, it's one thing I always say to
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: like even my friends and my family always say love
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: you because you know, you never know. And yeah, last time'
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: gonna be able to say that. So I mean it
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: slipped out, but I wouldn't say it was like unnatural.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: For me to be saying that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Yea, if someone just made me a first round pat
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: probably tell him I love him too. I'm out with
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you on that, But that was fun.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: We talked a lot of guests, and You're right, sometimes naturally,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: when you take it by you'll say, well I do
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: that to.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Guess once in a while, Man, I love you, And
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: then I'm like, are you hoping you get? And I
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: love you from the road At the end, I don't
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: know if we're tired enough, Maybe take a few interview.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, all right, so let's talk about playing
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: football at Georgia. You've already done it. I could tell,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: like you have pride that that was the program that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I you know, this is this is where I learned
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and stuff. Kirby smart Man, what a badass coach he is?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: How how you just said it? Like he not only
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: do you win a ton of games there, but it
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: feels like, man, he gets guys ready and the whole
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: program and staff gets guys ready to play in the NFL.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: What was it like playing for him?
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: It was it was a lot of fun. I mean
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: it was also a lot of not fun. Sometimes I
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: will say one thing I don't miss. I mean I
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: think I got clipped on time saying I don't miss
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: the microphone. But it is not good knowing that, Like
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I'm not hearing them speak on the mic all the time.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Even if thought about me.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: But you know, just the intensity playing there. I think
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: every single practice, everything Tuesday Monday, even our walkthroughs, we're
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: all super intentative, and I think just the intensity and
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: the mindset carries over the next level. So whenever we're
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: doing you know, walkthroughs, and they always stressed about how
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: important to walk the reps. And I'll probably tell some
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: of my young guys that like are still at Georgia there,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: like it's the same thing here, Like sometimes those walk
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: the reps are all gonna get And so you got
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: to take every single chance, and you know those are
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: the best reps.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: So yeah, when you hear people talk about the SEC
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: being down, do you say, hold on, I played in
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: this league weekend week out. It may not be winning
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: the championship, but it's still a gauntwin.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I think that the argument that we're down is kind
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: of crazy, just considering that we all beat up on
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: each other, and you know, started on that argument because
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I've definitely had it. But I'd say that the top
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: half of the SEC or the bottom half of SEC
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: is much better than the bottom half of the Big
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: ten or other conferences. I mean, you can clip me
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: on that, but the numbers don't lie. You know, if
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: we put them against each other, we'll see the results.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: We got to talk golf now, man, because you had
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you had a great line about, you know, golf being
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: one of your hobbies, but you phrase it as I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: like to get together my buddies and we donate a
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: bunch of golf balls to local ponds. So how's it
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: going here in Charlotte, Like, do you have a favorite
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: course you've played here? And are you staying dry? Are
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you keeping the ball dry a little better lately or no.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: You know, it really just depends on the day. I say,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: if I don't get food in that front nine, then
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I promise you I'm ton ins involved and I might
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: go in the anti social I won't talk to anybody,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: But if I get food in that back nine, then
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: we might be talking a different question.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So food's the key to the golf.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I think food is kind of all athletics. You know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: you gotta feel yourself, and there's definitely I think I
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: had one really good round at the Carolina Lace Course. Okay,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: not even the front nine, but I got food in
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: that back nine, and I think I played Billie Golf,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: and I was like, man, if I just would have
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: done at the front nine.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I gotta have that food with you, man, Exactly. I'm
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that way with beer. If I can get like two,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I think my game improves. But after that, so then
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: it's an ugly decline swing juice, right, Yes, I never
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: thought that.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: I like that.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna start using that one.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: You grew went to high school in the Carolina's right
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: South Carolina. Did you We were trying to figure out
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: before the show, did you grow up a Panther fanner?
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: What team did you pull forward growing up.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Really I didn't because crazy thing.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I spent half my life on the West Coast and Bend,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Oregon actually, and you know, the didn't have ANFL team.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: The other year came to South Carolina also didn't really
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: have an NFL team, So it's kind of been back
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: and forth. I definitely probably hopped the bandwagon a couple
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: of times just forever. It was good that year, But
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: besides that, I don't really have I wasn't really a
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: fan of that.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: So you grew how long were you in Oregon until
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you were what.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Age like an eleven?
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: And then you moved to Charleston. What are what are
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: your things? If you were like, if you have teammates
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that come here to the South for the first time,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: what do you tell them, like, what are the best
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: things about Southern living?
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: The food, in the hospitality? And then I also tell
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: them about the community.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: So not everything's good admitted he's crazy. Well, hey, thanks
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: for coming on with us, and we're rooting for you
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: at that right tackle spot. Best of luck to you
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and thanks for joining us.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: I was good, appreciate you all.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: There you go. That's Monroe Freeling the starting right tackle
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: because of Taylor Moten's health situation, first round pick of
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: your Carolina Panthers. And he's really a fun dude man,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: like you see it in some of the you know,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: interview clips online. Then we get a chance to sit
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: with him Bone and he's that same sort of kid like.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: He's going to be fun here over the years because
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I imagine he's only going to even get looser. I mean,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the swing juice line was beautiful. I've never heard that before. Man,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I got to work that in when I talk about
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: my beers and golf game situation.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: He's talking about getting his audio clipped, as the kids say,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: in terms of putting it out there on the internet.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: So that's interesting there. Also, Joe Person did a feature
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: on him yesterday about a game of Thrones. I guess
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: he enjoys and uh singing the Bryce Young and stuff.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So there he's saying happy birthday to Bryce the other day.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: There's a whole there's a whole other level there personality
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: wise that he'll once he gets even more comfortable, he's
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: gonna be a probably a fan favorite.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: He is man, And I don't know if everybody else
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: has a list, but I am moving him Bone right
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: up towards the top of my panther players I would
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: like to golf list. He seems like he'd be fun
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to golf with. He enjoys it, but he also doesn't
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: take his game too seriously. He's right up there with
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: JJ Janssen. JJ Jansen. Of course I want to golf
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: with the man, the man. Could you imagine the conversation
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: for four hours on a golf course with JJ. You
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: would cover every possible thing in life you could talk
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: about with that man.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Well, unless he's talking to me in the woods. I
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: don't talk much on the golf course. JJ might not
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: be happy with the macm bumper.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Why what happened?
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: We made a graphic for the show yesterday. Chris Harmon
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: of The Roaring Riot nice enough to construct the interview
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: schedule graphic for us. It's got my picture yours, Dan Morgan,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Bryce canalis h. As Colin pointed out to us, we
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: did not have JJ.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: On the graphic, even though he's scheduled at nine. He'd aget.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: I thought, well maybe he didn't, so maybe he didn't
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: see the graphic.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: He retweeted it.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: He retweeted it, so we saw it.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: On the on the.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Initial post that I had off before the graphic came out.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: I did with JJ as an athlete, so that got
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: him happy.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: He liked that. Off the graphic. I also didn't put
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: him on the show promo. Somebody pointed out to me, Mac,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: why you're not hyping up JJ. He's America's long snapper.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Because we're already a JJ's house. We don't need to advertise.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: It's assumed JJ Jans is gonna hang with us back No,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: but anyway, uh So, first padded practice today, looking forward
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to uh seeing the boys in pads. Uh coming up
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: at ten o'clock after we get done here, we got
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: a ton of interviews. JJ is on with us at nine,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: coming up at seven twenty five. Here is gonna be
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: cod You're gonna hear from coach Canalis. Looking forward to
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: that one. We got Bryce Young at eight, Dan Morgan
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: at eight twenty five, and there are others too as well.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: So hang with us. We got wall to wall Panther interviews,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and in the middle we've got Panther conversation. And I
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: would say this bone. Something I wanted to talk about
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: is like when we're watching practice today now that they're
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: in pads, like who who are the most important guys
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to watch bone now that they're in pads And we
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: just talked to one of them, Monroe Freeling in a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: padded practice against Jalen Phillips. Give it to me and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I love that kid's attitude by the way. He told us,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: throw me in, throw me to the wolves, throw me
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: into the fire. It's the way I'm gonna learn quicker.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And he actually also had a quote to Joe Person
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: where he h you know they he had a rough
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: day with Jalen Phillips on on Friday. Jalen Phillips gave
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: him to business and he basically said, give me more
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: of it. This is how I'm gonna learn and get better.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: He doesn't seem like the type of kid who if
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Jalen Phillips schools him, he's gonna get down on himself.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I think he knows this
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: is how I get better.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Well, the guy played in the SEC at Georgia's you said,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: going against top level defensive well, not for the Big
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: ten people, but.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: He hasn't played against the national champion or a team
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: that's played in the national game.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Why would you not want in practice and in camp
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: So why would you not want to play against the
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: best you can because you're gonna see a lot of dudes.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: We went through the list of guys that he's going
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: to see early right in the season, whether it's the
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Monteselett and Hutchinson and all these guys he's going to
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: see early. So why not go through the torture chamber
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: of Jaalen Phillips. It only makes you better.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, he's got a good attitude about it. I
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: hope he keeps that, you know, even if even if
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: he has a rough day today, I hope he keeps
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: that attitude. I think the lines in general, I think
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: we want to watch today Bone because now the pads
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: are finally on. I think the edges that we're looking
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: to see step up with scorting out Princely. I think
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: he's a guy to watch today as well. What can
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: he do? You know? Pat Jones, who's back off injury?
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: My guy Trevis Gibson, Man, can he make me proud
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: out there today?
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Bone?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I'm driving his wagon. I think he's underwater. So like
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: guys like that, who else you looking at watching today?
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Run game? Right? I think you get a better look
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: at the run game in.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Pads does read at wide out continue to flash a
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: little bit here. We've not brought him up as a
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: guy with a chance in the crowded wide receiver room.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: We'll see if he has another good day and your guy,
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Corey Thornton continues to shine. Does those other secondary pieces
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: that we're gonna count on a lot outside the obvious
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: guys continue to to fight it down and we'll see
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: which one comes out of this.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: These corners are getting some good work, these young corners,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: because Mike Jack is now out, Horn has been out,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: so they're getting some good work. Corey Thornton's playing well.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Will Lee had at an interception Friday. He got beat
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the other day for a deep ball, but again he's
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: you know this is this is the learning experience, all right.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the text line, see what we have.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Feel free to chime in interviews. What you're hearing seven
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: O four five seven oh nine six ten. Doctor Suave
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: wants to point out Thomas Koomb, Joe and Raleigh. Trevor Wallace. Yeah,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Trevor Wallace a guy to watch in this preseason. You
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: know you brought up the point yesterday like Devin Lloyd's
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: president should help him. You don't have to cover as
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: much ground. You've got somebody that's going to help you.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: You know, it's that should help him.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Gets to play a lot, but not necessarily the most
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: impact of all the linebackers.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: That makes it sense, like playing again. I ain't trying
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: to keep bad mouth in Christian rose Boom. He's a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: good dude, man, and I thought, he that's I had
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: to add some good moments against the run in coverage
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: it was ugly. He can't help it, man, He has
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: what his mama gave him, you know what I mean.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: He just doesn't cover ground, but it's got there's a
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: lot like Devin Wood's gonna cover a lot more ground.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Trevor Wallace will not have to feel like I gotta
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: do so much. And I think that's gonna be big.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Lucas from Huntersville Bone says, what Monroe a couple of
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: beers helping your golf game. He and his buddies called
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: swing lube, so Monroe called it swing juice. Lucas said,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: swing loub.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: We are on.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: We are on the Panthers Wi Fi network right now.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: For the love of God. Just don't google that.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Do not google that. That's a good point. It's good advice.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: Bone.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Rachel noticed Bone that while I might be out here
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: looking for free gear, Bone just once some I love
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: you so yeah.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: I'm not about the material things like Macis shoes and hats.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: I just wanta this is what I love you.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Every once a wow, I said earlier, because I now
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: it's now gotten to the point where I am so
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: infamous for begging Dan Morgan for stuff.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: It.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I know it's sad. I know it's sad. My own
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: wife tells me it's sad. But it's gotten to be
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: such a thing where people are now requesting that I
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: ask for things for them too. And I said in
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the first hour, I don't even want any gear. I
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: am going to just tell Dan Morgan go out me
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: go out there and trade for Alex high Smith. Wow,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: contact Pittsburgh Bone and make a trade for Alex high Smith.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Wilmington's own the Charlotte forty nine or grad nine and a
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: half sacks last year rumored too. You know, maybe be available.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: That's what I want, fit dog.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, But if he wants to bring some gear for
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: the other members of the show, like maybe you branch
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: out and get Bone something new, or maybe you give
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: me something this year.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: You're always selfish about it this year.
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: It's not just because your name is first on the show.
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: It's not always about you. There are other bones names
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: on the show. I'm trying to get my name.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I am very selfish. I've never once asked, hey, can
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: you bring us this something? It's just me, me, me, me, me, me,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: me me. That's my favorite.
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: I'm calling you mean, said a McLane.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: You know, diehard Panther fan. If you could maybe swing
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: some gear.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, we got a lot of requests coming in.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, but perhaps think of the winter months too. You
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: get stuff for the summer or that's hot. We need
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: to prepare a year round hoodies. You think Adam from Harrisburg.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Why is Mike Jack out?
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Coach canal is called a camp back. Robert Hunt and
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Mike Jack got in here practice the first day and
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden their back started acting up, and
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: he said, this is kind of a natural thing where
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden you start hitting camp and it's
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: like a little more wear and tear. I have, camp
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't soundly against anything nature. Is that what you call
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the condition where your head just starts dripping like it
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: was earlier.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: It's like a It's like a volcanic eruption of sweat.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: By the way, we saw Rob Hunt running the other
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: day and talking to himself while he was running.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: He was yeah, he had no one to talk to
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: his He just was having a That tracks though, doesn't it?
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: That tracks?
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Seven oh four number, says Mac. I went to college
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: for journalism and actually worked for a small town newspaper.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I believe. Isn't it frowned upon in journalistic circles to
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: ask the people you are covering for gear? This is
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: this is example number seven and forty two of why
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I am not a journalist. I'm not a big J journalist.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not a little J journalist, sir. I am just
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: simply a goofball that loves the panthers.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Hold, I'm reading about media ethics. Nor we don't we
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: don't have that. But but can I say something though?
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Dan Morgan was a friend before he got this job.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: He's here.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I used to have him on the show back.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: We went to his chief restaurant, a pizza restaurant. He's yeah,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: so does that does that matter? He's been a friend
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: before he.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Got this Check the media again, Tell that guy to
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: get to his media ethic book and check that out.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, what do you say, Mac? We talked to Panther's
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: head coach Dave Canalis. Yeah, when we get back, you
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: mentioned free wing going against Phillips. You're gonna hear Canalis
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: talk about that. He's gonna talk about Bryce and you're
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: gonna hear him talk about giving up play calling as well.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Panthers head coach Dave Canalis. Next Sports Radio ninety two
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: seven w.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: FNZ, Welcome back everybody. It does the Mac and Bone
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Show Live from training Camp. Sports Radio ninety two to
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: seven WFNZ, and it's that time again. We get to
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: check in and harassed coach Canalice Couch. We know he's
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: got work to do, but you're always cool enough to
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: hang out with us at camp. How are you doing, coach?
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: I'm doing great. Thanks for having me again. It's good
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: to be back, Good to be back in town. We
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: took a little West coast tour, saw my family in La,
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: my wife's family in Washington State, and then you know,
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: really got back into town a couple of days early
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: and just sat down just talk, you know, just sitting
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: down thinking about my first team meeting for a staff meeting,
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: what do we want to get out of this year?
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: And you know, at the end of the day, like
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: the thing I'm most excited about is to watch a
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: really talented group. How quickly can we come together and
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: play good football? And that's always that's that's the whole
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: goal of the NFL and all thirty two teams is
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: how quickly can you get this group to play together?
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: Because regardless every year there's a couple guys here and
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: there that are going to be new.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, year three for you, So how comfortable are you
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: now compared to a couple of years ago?
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: And what's something.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: That you've learned along the way, whether it be about
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: coaching yourself in this journey, what have you learned so far?
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it feels great to just know that from the
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: coordinators to the assistants to the players, we have a
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: standard for how we do things, for how we have meetings,
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: how we practice, what our walkthrough should feel like, the focus,
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: the intentionality that goes into it, and the urgency that like, guys,
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: you know, something that happens today will come up in
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: the season, a situation, all those things And I've found
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: over the last couple of years. The more that I
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: can throw them into these situations and look for those
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: moments to take advantage into practice in a walkthrough, to
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: expose them to something new, the better off we are,
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: you know at the end of it. So but again,
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: the other part that I've learned and you know firsthand,
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: but also by watching Pete do it for fourteen years
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: one year at University Southern California, is he would always
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: be looking for the areas of our football team and
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: specific guys how to how to help them improve. And
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: this is something he got from Bill Walsh. He would say,
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: if the entire design of a practice was to get
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: Monroe feeling better at this thing or that thing, and
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: you sprinkled it in there like four or five times
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: and he improved, it was a good practice.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: It was worth it.
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: And so I've asked the staff to look for those
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: things with our guys and what do we need to
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: expose them to do we need to give Bryce more
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: cover two looks? Do we need to give him more
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: blitz looks from the weak side?
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: What is it? You know?
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: And we can manufacture those things if we're aware of it.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you two about this. This leads
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: me right into it with Bryce, Do you need to
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: take more deep shots? Because Bryce, I don't know if
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: y'all e can pay attention to stuff, but Pro Football
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Focus had him as a number one graded deep passer
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: in the entire league. But when you look at deep attempts,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: it was like, twenty second, do you need to get
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: him more opportunities to let it rip? Because he was
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: pretty darn efficient when y'all did it.
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so you hear what you said there when he
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: was most efficient because of when we did it. And
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: so there's a study that goes into it. We're not
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: just Willy nearly throw the ball down the field just
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: for the sake of it. We're not paying attention to
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: air yards where the ball goes and all that. Where
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: we would love to score touchdowns on every single play.
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: That would be awesome, But there's a science to it,
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: and there is a collective thing. What does our group
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: look like, you know? And certainly with the addition of
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: Chris Brazil and a six or four guy who runs
• 22:24
  Speaker 8: four to three who can really stretch the field, might
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: be a few more ops down there, you know. And
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: then and with the guys that we had in the past,
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: it was like, when we get this look, let's make
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: sure we take advantage of it. And then the best
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: part about it is where Bryce is heading and where
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: he's been at the end of last season and the
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: off season and coming into camp is he's got tools
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: where he can get to some more opportunities. Even when
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: Brad calls this concept or that, there may be an
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: opportunity to send this guy up or that guy up
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: in different spots, so we look for him. We love
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: explosive plays, but again, it's science. It's not just a hey,
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: throw more of them and then good things will happen.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: We have praised you heavily on our show behind your back,
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: praise you behind your back, and we.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Won't talk about the other stuff.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry I say that because we're not just blowing
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: smoke because you're sitting here. The fact that you were
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: willing to concede play calling already in your young coaching career,
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: A lot of coaches hang on this stuff very tightly
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: and not willing to do that. What made you make
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: that choice already and how does that affect you and
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: free you up for the other stuff. We talked about it,
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: but tell us personally how that frees you up.
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: Well, I believe that you allow people to do their
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: job when they're great at it. And over the course
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: of three years now in Tampa, for a year now
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: in the Carolines with Panthers for the last two seasons,
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: as I'm calling plays, I'm talking to somebody all the time.
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: It's Brad and hey, Brad, we got third and seven.
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: I like this one or this one. What do you think?
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: He's like, go with this one. And he's right most
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: of the time.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: So there's a.
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: Confidence that's been built. He knows what I want big
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: picture wise, philosophically, from an offensive standpoint. He's the primary
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: designer and architect of the plays and brings the staff's
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: ideas together and then I come in and we make sure.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, this is a good this is a good.
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: Game plan for Bryce, this is a good game plan
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: for this guy or that guy, you know, our different
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: skill position. And so we've had these conversations. But then,
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: but then all of a sudden, you're going through the
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: season and at times I feel like I'm a play
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: behind Rad, like oh no, no, no, no, this one,
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: you know, and I'm already I already got this one
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: called in there and the more times that happens. It's
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: like I'm studying it. He's studying it. He's fully focused
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: on the offensive side, where I'm trying to help out
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: multiple things, be aware of timeout usage, challenges, different things
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: like that. And as I've felt like he's got a
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: feel for where this thing should go and shoot, he
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: had a better call than I did on that one.
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: Those are the things that give me confidence to do it.
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: And I'm not going to get in the way of progress.
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: Want to make sure that you know, our team, our players,
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: our staff have the best opportunity to win and if
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: Brad can bring us that and that's the direction we
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: should go.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: And by the way, was Mark Tressman also praised you
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: for that on our show, So it wasn't just two
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: knuckleheads on the radio. Yeah, he's a guy who's been
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: there and done it. He liked it to read.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Great football mind.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, clearly, Uh, coach Canalis is with us alive from
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: training camp to Mac and Bone show. All right, let's
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: talk about something else going on. You talked about a
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: little bit of your presser at the end of last week.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Monroe Freeling's now up man. Yeah, and I like the
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: way you said it. Hey, we want him to battle
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: for the left tackle spot, but hey, now it's time
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: to just do it. I think a lot of the
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: like scouting reports and stuff have focused on My god,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: his upside, his length and potential is amazing, but he
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: has to get stronger. His technique is a They call
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: him raw, So is that true? Like, do you is
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: there gonna be a lot? Is there a learning curve?
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Is he real raw and maybe not ready or do
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you push back against that? Uh?
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I just take it day by day.
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: What I've seen from Monroe is he's got great length, athleticism,
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: and power, and he's gotten really strong since we've gotten
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: him through the spring over the summer. He doesn't lack
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: anything physically, whether he was going to play and win
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: the left tackle spot or whether he was going to
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: play at right tackle right now like we need him to.
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: There's a learning curve for rookies, and fortunately for us,
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: we're trying to throw that learning curve at him right
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: now and he has to block Jalen Phillips every day.
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: That's phenomenal, you know, because what it does is when
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: you play against great players, it just exposes the things
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: that you need to work on and then it makes
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: you have to work on those techniques, knowing like I
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: can't just get away with it just being a big athlete.
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: You know, I gotta fix this thing. I gotta fix
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: my hand placement in targets. I gotta get my sets
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: a certain way. I gotta do different things. So we
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: want those we want those opportunities to come out. But
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: he's done a fantastic job in the course of our
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: three practices that we've had, and certainly, you know before
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: Rob really you know, tightened up on us. You know,
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: watching those two big men as we run the ball
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: at them, it's pretty special. And and that's something that's
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: really not a it's not a knock against.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: What do you do with this rookie tackle?
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: Is like when you look out there and you watch
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: us run the ball to the right, the thing moves,
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: the line of scrimmage moves laterally, it moves vertically. And
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: that's something that I get excited about because you guys
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: know we're gonna run the ball and we're committed to that,
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: and so that's where this offense starts.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: And then all the rest of the stuff.
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: You know, it's like my encouragement to all the new guys,
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: is like, find new mistakes to make, make your mistakes.
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: Let's let's dive into it. Let's work on it and
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: find some new ones tomorrow.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: One guy, we can't wait to see you run the football,
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: as media, as fans, I'm sure as coaches.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: It's Jonathan Brooks.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: How does he open up things for the offense and
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: coaching him this year in particular based off what he's
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: been through.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Is he raring to go?
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: No doubt's gonna be full playing time or are you
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: gonna ease them in and monitor a little bit? What's
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: the what's the plan for Brooks?
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: You're at the gate, Yeah, just let him compete, you know,
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: let him go out there, and as you guys know,
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: we'll use multiple backs and we've done that for a
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: couple of years now and that's the plan. And see
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: what he can give us and what he can handle,
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: you know, and that only comes with time. So we're
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: just taking it one day, one day at a time.
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: But I will tell you this, when he gets the
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: ball in space, he is fast. And so there's there's
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: concepts that take advantage of that way in the run game,
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: in the past game, and then all of your normal
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: stuff you know, just when it's blocked right and he
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: presses it the right way, that's all we care.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: About, you know.
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: And at the end of the day, like we've challenged
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: the running back room, like you guys are the heartbeat
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: of this offense, you know, the offensive line and the
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: running back set the tone by how violently we run,
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: and we're we're gonna ask him to do that, you know,
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: So as we dose him, as we increase his load,
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: we'll take it from there. But you know, can't talk
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: about JB without talking about Cuba, you know, and what
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: he's been to us and how consistent he's been. And
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: I feel really good about that room. And we can
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: talk about you know, Trevor a chain too, like he's
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: he's a guy who can do a lot of different
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: things for us, and we're excited about his growth and
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: how he's looked Coach you.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I always hear you mentioned kind of being out in
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the community, right and like seeing does it feel different
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: now that you have a division championship and you put
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: on a show in that playoff game and took one
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: of the best teams down the wire and the atmosphere
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: was unbelievable, Like, is it different conversations at the grocery
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: store or the restaurant, because I know on our show man,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: everybody is this is like going into camp. This is
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: fun right now. We can't wait to see y'all again.
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a lot of excitement in the community. We
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: have four kids, so all the way from high school,
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: middle school, down to elementary school, then all the sports
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: that they play. So we're running into these parents who
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: were all around the same age. And so when I
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: think back to nineteen ninety five, you know, and I'm
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: you know, fourteen, fifteen years old at that point, the
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: Panthers were born in a really critical time for.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: A lot of the people that I do life with.
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: And so there's this real genuine excitement and there's just
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: this natural growth curve. I feel so privileged to be
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: able to lead this team at this point right now
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: with the group of people in the community that are
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: so fired up because they're the original Panthers fan Yeah,
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: and and they're behind us, and they're loyal, and and
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: it just you know, it gives me, it pushes me
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: and drives me to again. Like I've talked about since
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: we've gotten here, is I want to build a team
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: that the that the Carolinas can be proud of, and
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: the style of football that we play, the class which
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: we would do things, and how we finish. And I
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: believe that that's what we've been doing here by the
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: style of how we've built it and the guys, the
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: expectations of the players and the coaches.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Coach.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: I wanted to break up something you coach to coach
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: because in my college football video game this weekend I
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: got fired.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: As a head coach.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Oh jeez, so I need to imy, I may pick
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: your brain off the end. I might need some help
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: getting back on my feet a little bit here. I
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: threw thirteen I t's in three games.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Wow, that'll do.
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: That's not bad. If you threw thirty touchdowns, you know,
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: then there's balance.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: The ratio wasn't good.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Well here, I'll just give you this one.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: One of my mentors, KIPI. Brownie, is the wide receivers
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: coach in the Sea in the for the Seahawks. While
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: I was there, taught me a bunch of stuff. But
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: he said, you know, special teams philosophy for you here,
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: like you know, if you're if you're kicking off a bunch, well,
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: that's good, you know, but if you're returning a lot,
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: you know that ain't worth.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: It's true. It sounds like you were returning the conference.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: If your offensive players are tackling a lot, that's a problem.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: It sounds but all right, coach, Hey had a blast
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: talking to you. We can't wait to see what the
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six Panthers do. Thanks so much for coming
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: on with us.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Thanks guys, thanks for having me again.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you. That is coach Canalis joining us
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: here on the Mack and Bone Shill. We are live
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: from Panther training camp. We're just getting going, man, we
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: are just getting going. Devin Lloyd is coming up in
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: about eight minutes, seven forty five, and then top of
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: the hour, Bryce Young, eight twenty five, Dan Morgan, and
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: there's still more after that. So we are just getting
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: going there. Coach Canal has sounded bummed for you, Bone
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: getting fired as a college football coach on a video game.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: He generally fell sounded upset for you. He sounded upset
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: while you're giggling over there. Look, I was trying to
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: rebuild app State and I was doing pretty well. It's
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: not been great right now for app State, but I
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: was trying to I wasn't gonna use it as this well,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I was gonna try to use it as a stepping
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: stone job. And then my quarterback, Malachi Singleton, I mean
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: he's been there before, just had a complete meltdown and
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I couldn't stop throwing nineties no matter what I did.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: It's like the game Twitch.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: That's like me one night playing against a friend. I
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: had Aaron Rodgers in his prime. I threw six interceptions.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I just the decision making fitty on football video game
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: years quarterback is very hard for me. Yeah, he would
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: throw like none season. I know. I just I don't
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: know how you play QB fitty in these games. But
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I can relate to Bone. I don't. I stick to
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: the soccer. I stick to the FIFA game like I
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: just I can't make quick decisions on who to throw to,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: like I'm a horrible defense reader. And then I panic
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Bone the slightest bit of pressure and I just literally
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: hit a button. Get out there.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: This will count for your update here. I guess the uh,
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: the the levels when you go up to the hot yatts,
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: any ball over the middle that you throw, I feel
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: like it's about to get picked off.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: I I typically stick to like throwing to the sidelines
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: and worth what's what's two point seven or second to
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: two point seven seconds?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: You go with the Canalis roll.
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I get that ball out, getting the ball out
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: of there the second that I think I'm gonna get
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: hit the ball agains.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I love those little hitches on the on the side.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Just throw it, get myself nine yards, keep it moving.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: But sometimes they even jump the hitch and pick me off.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: I I I run a lot of slants.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Slants A good one too, like that one, A little
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: quick at game you a little West Coast offense, fitty
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: of slants and tight end out. Okay, out of screens.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I like screens, although I've had them pick too. But
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: then again Cam had one pick for didn't Cam have
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: one pick for a touchdown against the Raiders screen? Oh yeah,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I've done that before, whether it was Madden or the
• 33:50

  Speaker 6: ascension of this team and then obviously for me it's
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: you know, I want to win. So just the opportunity
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: to be able to for this team last year to
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: go to the playoffs and obviously win the division didn't
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: go the way you know we expected or won it,
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: but you see the progression of this team and it
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: was exciting exciting for me to be a part of
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: that growth. But also you look at the talent on
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: defense and you know, I understand, you know how good
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: we can be when we do what we're supposed to do.
• 37:07

• 37:09
  Speaker 6: play with a lot of great players and and you know,
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: go see what we can do.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Man. You and Genial Phillips added to a defense that
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: gets more talent every year. Man, we can't wait to
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: see it. Last year was a special year for you,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: all Pro honors, Pro Bowl honors. It felt like you
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: really made a jump. What do you what? What was
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: different last year? What?
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: What?
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: How? How was it just learning or was it something
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: they did with you schematically? Like what made last year pop?
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: You know when I look at last year, I look
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: at you know, the end of the twenty twenty fourth
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: season and really me mastering my process, which is just
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: ultimately what I do on a day to day basis,
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: so my habits, my lifestyle, really just understanding what it
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: takes for me to to live a life that is
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: really just just doing everything right, you know, just doing
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: things off the field right. And then obviously you know
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: that translates to on the field. But then that and
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: it is to the new coaches, and I mean they
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: taught me a lot about the game as well, you know,
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: so they opened my eyes with a few different things,
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: especially in the run game, you know, so you know,
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: learning the game in addition to really me just handling
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: my business and really mastering my process off the field,
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: I think it all came together and really just taking
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: advantage of opportunities, and now have you know, an even
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: greater opportunity here.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: So I'm looking forward to, you know, what we're gonna do.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: Here, deep linebacker history here. Sam Mills has a statue
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: out front. We've got T. D. Keithley. I'm more on
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: him momentarily. You've got Dan Morgan, a man who signed
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: you here, and then people say, Devin Lloyd the next
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: guy in that group. What's it mean to you? To
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: you to be named with those group of guys that's
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: potential Panthers are great?
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, obviously it's an honor, but I haven't done anything yet.
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: I gotta, you know, prove myself and earn that. But
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: it's just really cool to be a part of somewhere
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: where there's great linebacker lineage. Just these fans in this
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: city expecting great linebacker play is you know, it's uh,
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: I love it, you know. So I just look forward to,
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: like I said, proving myself and you know, ultimately just
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: showing that, you know, I deserve to be a part
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: of that conversation.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Well, you've already been learning from one of those guys,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Luke Keikley. There's a Panthers dot Com article by Darren
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Gant was a great read about you and Luke talking ball,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and then Luke says, let's watch some film, which you
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: had to love because this dude is hey film was
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: a film freak when he played. Was there something you
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: learned already? You learned a couple of times you had
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: to well.
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, obviously, yeah, I mean anytime he talks ball, you know,
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: you listen. But yeah, we just really just went over
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: a lot of stuff. It wasn't even just like, oh
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: I took away this one specific thing. It's more so like, okay,
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: how he's wired and you know, some technique things, just overall,
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: how he approached the game as a leader, as a
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: football player, all that so, And it wasn't the first
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: time I talked with.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: Him, but you know that, and hopefully you know it's
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: not the last.
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: But yeah, I mean, every time you know, you kind
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: or stay what you know, future Hall of Famer, you're
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: gonna learn something.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I get the feeling he loved it too, Like you
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, wasn't just wasn't him doing you
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: a favor. It sounds like he was like, yeah, let's
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: watch you know, like that's fun to him.
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: I mean, two guys that love ball, talking ball, you know,
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: so I think that's that's fun for anybody loves ball.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: Devin.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: I was always like to look up and see what
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: guys did in high school because there was always multiple
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: positions and guys play other places on the field. So
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: you were a wide receiver of safety and it says
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: you averaged thirty eight yards a punt.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Also you were then.
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: I was the punter. That was actually my first starting position.
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: So I was the punter on varsity my sophomore year
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: and uh yeah, that was my first starting position.
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: So that's funny.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: You look out, Sam Martin, Sam Martin, you better be
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: you better be working out, baby oh Man. All right,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: so you talk about this defense and just how special
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: it can be. Do you what last year that I
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: think one of the things that was so special for
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: your last year is you did everything like against the
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: You had a great year. But two things that I
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: really can't wait to see as a fan is your
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: coverage year was amazing and we really need that coverage
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. Didn't have it last year.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Then another thing is the blitz success you had. I mean,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: is have you gotten a feeling of like how much coverage,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: how much is gonna be blitzing?
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: You know what? What do you feel like the role
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: is gonna be here? Is it gonna be similar to
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: last year in Jacksonville?
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: I think there's gonna be similarities. I know our coach
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: last year like to blitz me a ton. I don't
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: think I'm probably gonna be blitzing as much, but there's
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: still gonna be some of that. But definitely, you know,
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: a lot of more opportunities and coverage as well. I
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: think overall, it's really just, you know whatever, whenever I'm
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: on the field, just being effective, whether it's in the
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: run game in the past game, or pressure in the quarterback,
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: just being effective. So that's my standard every time I'm
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: on the field. It's gotta be good.
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: Yea.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: How excited are you to watch Derek Brown just throw people?
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: At the club they call it. How fared up for
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: you to watch guys just flying all over the place?
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: It's a big, strong, angry man that come in as
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: a team. So you know, I mean, playing linebacker behind
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: him is gonna be fun. I just hope he doesn't
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: take all the tackles.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta worry about Merrick flies in too man
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: back there.
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: Oh good, we got this, you know, I mean that's
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: why I came here though, you know, look around and
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: every level of defense we got baller.
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: So I'm excided.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: So we I don't know if we know what we're
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: talking about, Devin, but we tried, right, we tried. We
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: meet me we wells Panther fans. We like look at
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: this unit and say, and I have the score and
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: lost stinks, But I still look at this unit and say,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: this could be a top ten group? Is that fair?
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Like to put that sort of nothing like is that
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: a fair expectation? Or you're gonna say that ain't enough
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: of an expectation? What do you what do you expect?
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: I mean, first I do want to, you know, say
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: that I'm sick for my brother Nick, and I know
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: that you know he's gonna bounce back and he's gonna
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: be stronger than ever, and yeah, you know, just everybody
• 42:50
  Speaker 6: please keep nicking their prayers, but also be optimistic about him.
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: You know that he's gonna come back and he's gonna
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: be hungry than ever. But then, you know, when you
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: say stuff like that, it's it's our mentality as well.
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: But ultimately we got to prove it.
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: You know, it's not doing much talking about it, but
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: it's definitely something that's on our mind.
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: Is you know, being the best in.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: The league, Devin, you also not only have the great
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: linebacker when each year there's a Utah when the edge
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: as well, Right, Steve Smith, Jordan Gross, have you have
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: you talked to those guys at all about being the
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: next great uh not only linebacker here but a great
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: Utah youth.
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: Well, Steve was here a few uh weeks ago right
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: before it was during the Ota time frame, at Bryce's camp,
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: and so yeah, we had chopped it up. You know,
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: we didn't talk too much about like being the next
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: grade or anything. But it's cool that there is also
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: a tradition of youths as well. And then obviously Jordan
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: Gross is coaching at Utah, so that lineage is cool
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: as well.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: For sure, do you talk trash to Brady Christiansen or
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: you're trying to keep that college rivalry aside so far?
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: You know, he just came in the other day whenever
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: we signed him, and that, yeah, he had brought it up,
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: so there was a little something there.
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: But I mean he's a great guy.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: I love it. All right, so what is your what's
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: your let's get away from football for a second. What
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: have you noticed about Charlotte since moving here. I actually
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: lived in Jacksonville years back. I do think there are
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: definitely some similarities and there are some differences. What do
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: you like about Charlotte so far? What are some of
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: the cool things.
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I love the energy, you know, i'd say, I mean, first,
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: you know, Southern hospitalities real out here. I think, you know,
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: just over all the people, all the interactions. Everybody's just
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: real friendly and honest. And then also just the energy.
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: It's a youthful, go getter type energy.
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: Jacksonville is a little more laid back, retirement kind of,
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: you know, slower pace. So I do like there's an
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: uptick in just the overall feel in the city. And
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: then food's great. You know, I have a Jeff, but
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: you know, whenever I eat out, you know, everything's been awesome.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: So you can look at our waistlines and see how
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: we we concur on the food. All right, Unfortunately, Devin,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: thank you for coming on. You were gonna up the
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: energy when you start doing things out that stadium. The
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: energy in Charlotte is gonna be up. We can't wait
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: to see you play. Thanks for coming on with us, man,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: We appreciate.
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: It absolutely absolute, thanks for having Thank you.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: That is Devin Lloyd, new middle linebacker and leader of
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: your Carolina Panther defense. What I would do to be
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: a fly on the wall of that film session with
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: him and Luke Keagley. Man, that is so freaking cool, dude,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: so cool.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: He's an awesome guy. Man, you could tell what what
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: drew the Panthers to him. I mean, the guy's got
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: his own chef, man, that's my dream, man, my own chef.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like his chef makes different food than you
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: would ask your chef for though, you know what I mean.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: I think the pro athlete chefs make healthy food. You
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: know what I mean?
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: Maybe we wouldn't want.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Healthy food made some upscale nugs. Oh man. All right,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: So I'm.
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: Gonna make enough money one day, I'm gonna get a chef.
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna rub in your food.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Chef, do you how do you do you make your
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: own personal homemade hot pockets? Skin does? That's what you
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: can do for me? All right? Anyway, we've got to
