  Speaker 1: He is the great Scott Hanson. Scott, welcome to town, man,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and thank you for coming on. How you doing?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Mack and Bone, good to be with you guys. Happy
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: football season and always a pleasure when I get back
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: to Charlotte. I love my time that I've had here
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: in the past and hoping for a good or great
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: day today.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: We were just joking that you as host of the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Red Zone channel, you have probably seen more of the Panthers' offense,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I would say, than normal so far through the first
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: two weeks. We're ecstatic the way they're playing, the way
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Bryce is playing. What do you think about what we've
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: seen from Bryce in the offense?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: It starts right at the top there. I mean, this
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: is why they drafted Bryce Young. This is why he
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: was the player coming out of college. And I know
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: that early on there was a dip in the expectations
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and saying, oh, man, is he really or isn't he really?
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: We saw that little probably about a month window at
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the end of last season where it was like, Look,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I know some of these games don't matter for some
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: of the opponents that they're playing here, but he's throwing
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the ball. He can be a high-volume, high-production passer. Obviously,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the playoffs last year and then coming back into the season,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: two games in, he's number two in passing yards in
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the entire NFL right now, slinging it around. There is
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: real reason for big optimism there. in this team this year.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: And I know I heard about the Jonathan Brooks here
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: this morning already. That's a tough loss there. I know
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: they're already scrambling to look at some more names to
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: bring into the franchise at the running back position. But yeah,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on. We know what Ted Arroa McMillan is.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Jalen Coker is one of the lesser talked about, but
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: more productive wide receivers in the NFL in 2026 years
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: so far. Fun stuff on the offensive side and fun
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: stuff for us on red zone for sure.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Scott, where do you think the truth lies on the
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: defensive side? Because it was a horrible start against the bears.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: They turn around and then Devin Lloyd leads them with
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: one of the best linebacker games, really stat wise ever. Where,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: where do you think the truth is with that side
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: of the ball though?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: It's somewhere in between the two. Look, the Bears exploded,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: caught them. I was like, what are we doing on
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the defensive line for the Carolina Panthers, the way that
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the Bears were moving them off the line of scrimmage?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: And then you look at that Atlanta game. I think
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: it's in between the two, and the reason I say
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: that is because there are new additions, right? I mean,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: when you look at this team trying to coalesce on
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the defensive side of the football, It might take a
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: little while. Now, Devin Lloyd just asserted himself as, I
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: think the awards come out today. There's no way he,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: pardon the double negative, there's no way he won't be
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: an NFC Defensive Player of the Week. But yeah, I
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: think the truth lies in between the two. And really,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: it'll be the ebb and flow of individual games as
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to what we see out of the defense. Can Bryce
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Young in the offense give them a touchdown lead, give
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: them a double-digit lead, and then change the dynamic of
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the type of defense they're going to be able to
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: play in the second half of games? I think that'll
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: prove itself to be true based on the opponent week
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: to week.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Scott, I'm telling you right now, if Devin Lloyd were
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to not get defensive player of the week in the NFC,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I would hijack your studio on Sunday. I would tie
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you up and I would demand the NFL. I'm not
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: letting Hanson out until we get this award. Because, yeah,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: that was, God, that was filthy, that game.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: And the most aesthetic defensive play that we might see
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: all year with his interception. And, of course, you have
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to say which interception we're talking about. Of course, that
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: first one with the stiff arm.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, what a run back.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: And the juke back to the inside. It was a
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: one-handed interception, too, that like the TV replay didn't have
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: a real tight ISO of it. He stabs it with
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: one hand. He switches the football. stiff arms, my man into,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: into the, the, the nether regions. And then now he's
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: not going to, he's not going to, if you watch
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: the end of that, that run back, he's not going
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: to want to run the 40 yard dash at the
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: scouting combine this upcoming year. And he started to run
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: out of gas there at the end, but man, what
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: a play, what a play and what a player. I mean,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: you know, he had a 99 yard pick six last year,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the longest play of from scrimmage all season. There was
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a couple of kick returns that I think were 100 plus,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: you know, but he had the longest. I mean, he
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: is one of the best past defending interior linebackers in
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the sport. And big things ahead for him this year.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Scott, do you think this ultimately is a two-team race
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: in the NFC South, Saints, Panthers, or do you think
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: the Bucs can still get back in this thing? It's early,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: but what do you think is going on with them,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: and what's your projection of them?
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Look, let's throw a little bit of bucket of realism
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: on here. That NFC South, we have no idea. I mean,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: tell me what the winning record of the NFC South
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: team is going to be. Is someone going to get
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the 12 wins? I don't think so. So, yeah, I
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: went so early in the year. right off Baker and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the Bucs at your own peril. You know, the Saints,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: some people in the preseason predicted, hey, you know, I
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: think Tyler Shuck might be a franchise quarterback or at
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: least a viable starting quarterback. That looks like that could
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: be coming true there. But no, I think this race,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: it'll be– the whole season and depending on if Atlanta
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: can get their quarterback position settled, don't write them off
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: just yet. I think NFC, it won't be, the South
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: won't be decided until around Christmas time. I'm guessing we're later. Yeah.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: What do you think about that Saints team? I like
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: even the rally and the loss and hell, they might've
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: got screwed out of a touchdown against Detroit in the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: first half, but even that, that Detroit loss was kind
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: of impressive. The rally at Baltimore, like, what do you
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: think of the Saints team?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: You know, I look at them, and if you look
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: at the personnel, you're like, okay, where are they getting
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: it from? Now, Chris Olave is elite, elite, right? But
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: he obviously has dealt with an injury history in the past.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: But it's Tyler Shuck. It's like, really? They got this guy?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: What was he, third round, fourth round pick? And he
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: seems unflappable in there. He seems to have meshed really
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: well with what Kellen Moore demands out of that position.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: And they can score with some people now. And then
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the defense still has pieces, but I think they're playing
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: a little bit above their heads right now or their
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: opponents to this point aren't as impressive as what we thought.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe the Detroit Lions aren't what we thought the Detroit
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Lions would be. But yeah, no, it's going to be fun.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: And then when y'all go tangle with them twice this year,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: that's going to be a fun, fun time as well.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And it's the South, man. I mean, I know people
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: in the national scene, they can hate on it and say, yeah,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: win the division with a sub-500 record. It's competitive football.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely competitive football. And then even go back to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the the home playoff game that you all got after
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: winning the division championship last year, did the Rams come
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: in here and steamroll? No, no. I mean, that was, yeah.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: So yeah, fun, fun, fun season.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Scott NFC South. We say not for the week. That's our,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: that's our motto around here. So try to use that
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: on a channel.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: It's a boy.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Red Zone Channel, I know you've addressed the
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: not using the bathroom thing a million times. I'm not
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: going to ask you about that. But when I watch
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: you on Red Zone every Sunday, I think, my man,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Scott Hanson's got to be hungry. If I was doing
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: that show, I'd have like four orders at my door
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: already from DoorDash. Scott, what's the food like, man? How
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: do you handle Red Zone days eating-wise? Because, man, I
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: don't think I can handle that.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Well, do you mean during the show or after the show?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Well, kind of both. Obviously, you can't eat during the show.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: So what do you eat before and after?
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so at the NFL Network headquarters, we have a
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: big cafeteria. The chefs are great there, and they make
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: me the same dense protein, salty breakfast. I get scrambled
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: egg whites, turkey burger patty, no bun, crispy salty bacon,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: a big muffin for kind of some filler in my gut.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I eat a big thing of mixed fruit, and then
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the secret ingredient is kalamata olives. right? A little purple
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Kalamata olives because I need, I need as much sodium
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: inside of me to retain water so that I famously
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: don't take a bathroom break during the show. And that
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: fills me up. I eat that two hours and 45
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: minutes before the show, like clockwork every single Sunday morning.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: And then I don't eat again. But then at the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: end of the show, yes, Uncle Scott's pretty famished at
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: the end of the show for not eating for– it's
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: been probably 10 hours since I had a bite of
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: food in my stomach by the time I get home.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: And I flip on Sunday night football on my television,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: and I will– this is kind of a bad confession,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: but I will order– Postmates and DoorDash. And I let
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: them race to my front door. And I might mix,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I want a bacon cheeseburger and I want Chinese. I
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: want a burrito and I want spaghetti. And I will
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: see which one of them can get to my door first.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: And sometimes they have met in my hallway.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. This sounds like something Bone would do, Bone.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: This is amazing.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I've often sent multiple drivers out there, Scott, to see
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: who can get there first, like a race.
