  Speaker 1: J.J.

  Speaker 2: Jansen, America's long snapper, the Panthers Ironman, joins us on
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: the Mac and Bone show for a little Snapchat.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: What's up, J.J.? How you feeling, man?
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Look, I'm, I'm having a hard time keeping track of
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: who LSU is recruiting and not recruiting. So all things
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: are possible. You couldn't have convinced me that wasn't AI.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: They're getting everybody, NFL players, local celebrity dogs. I mean,
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: the list is endless and I'm sure there's going to
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: end in a lawsuit anyway. So all good.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4:
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: .
• 0:32
  Speaker 2:
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: .
• 0:35
  Speaker 3:
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: possibly
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: going to go back there too. It would be an
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: unbelievable feat on so many different levels.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: If they get pistol feedback, that would take the cake.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: That would really be rolling.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I'd have to tip my hat to Will Wade if
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: he could make that happen. JJ, what do you think
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: about that, about these guys being in NFL camps, being
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: in NFL in the preseason in some cases, and being
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: able to go back to college?
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: How does that hit you?
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: We've clearly lost the plot of this whole thing. I mean, that's,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: it is, it is beyond my brain's ability to comprehend
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: what's going on. The reality is college football is now
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: just pro football. And I think that's not good for college. amateurism.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's good for any of these kids.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I think it's a really bad look. And again, it's
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: trickling itself all the way down to the high school
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: levels and to the youth levels, because now the sport
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: becomes exclusively the end all be all of getting paid
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: and all those things. I'm very in favor of players
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: getting paid, especially in sports like football that are violent
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: and physical. Like I'm all for it. But the reality
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: is now we've got 24 and 25 year old professional
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: athletes going back to college and And those spots aren't
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: going to 17, 18 and 19 year olds. I think
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: it's ridiculous. I understand why teams are doing it. I
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: understand why Lane Kiffin wants to get the best players available.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I just– I think we've lost the plot, and it's really,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: really sad from my perspective.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: JJ, on the college side of this, you can speak
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: from the pro angle of the discussions guys are having,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: but how much does that mess with team dynamic on
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: the college side when these guys are all working their
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: tails off for a very long time? They're probably promised
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: spots along the way, and then all of a sudden
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: guys that were in NFL camps or whatever– They're coming
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: back and taking some of their time.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Probably not the best person to ask. It's been so
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: long since I was in college. So nothing looks the
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: same of what I, what I went to, but, but yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: All right. All right.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: JJ, well, blue holes allow this.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: That's right. Blue holes probably would have gone all for it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, he had been, he'd been fine. That guy
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: was about winning. So I understand why teams are doing it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I get it. Get the best players in your building.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: But the whole idea of rules around various sports is
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: to protect that sport from professionals. If professional football players
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: could play high school football, what stops them from going
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: to Charlotte Latin or Providence Day or Huff? Like, oh,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: we'll just get some high school. We'll just get some
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: pro athletes to go play high school football. Obviously, we
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: need to protect these various sports. from adults and professionals.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: It should be for college students. That's what it should
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: be for. And yes, we should pay them and players
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: should get compensated for the risks and the work that
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: they're putting in. I'm all for it. But if we're
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: not protecting college sports, high school sports, like we're not
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: protecting that from others.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know what we're doing.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: We've lost the plot and I'm not a fan of it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: And it bothers me greatly. Now I understand LSU's position
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to be the first one through the
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: door because I'm going to get the best players. And
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: if you tell me it's not allowed, then it's not allowed.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: But right now they're winning lawsuits and it's happening. And again,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I think it's a terrible thing for amateur sports. Again,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: it's just going to trickle down to high school. It'll come.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And the next plot twist is the SEC has gone
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to federal court and sued LSU there. So this thing
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: is far from over, far from over. JJ, your appearance,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter on the TV coverage of the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Panther game last week.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I got to be honest with you.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: JJ might've been the highlight of the entire game for me.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Those games are slogs. Those last preseason game. How much
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: fun did you have? Uh, did you have on there?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Look, we had a blast. Obviously I know I play
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: with Jake. I play with Steve. I know niche really,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: really well. And you guys know, I love broadcasting. I
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: love bringing the games to the fans. And that was
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: a really cool opportunity for me to be able to,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I thought I was going to get to do a
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: little more analyst work. It did turn into the roast
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: of JJ, which I was, I should have probably known
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: it was going to go there. But that was, so
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: that was probably a rookie mistake on my part, thinking
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: that I could, you know, just line up and call
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the game with, with the fellows and a nation. And,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: but it was, it was an absolute blast Houston, Houston's
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: offense and our defense obliged and getting a nice long drive.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: But again, I love that. I that's my, that's where
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: I probably come alive as much as anything else is,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: is broadcasting and bringing that stuff to the fans. And
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: so that was a really, really special opportunity and fun.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: We had, we had some great, we had some great
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: fun and look at the end, we got the roughing
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: the long snapper. So it all worked out well. And
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: as my wife told me, everybody in Charlotte now knows
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the size of your hands. So that was its own
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: element too. But we got everything accomplished. For those who
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: saw the broadcast, they know what I'm talking about.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Those are some damn oven mitts, baby. That's impressive right there.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Hamburger helper. That's what I was needing. Like hockey, hockey style.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Goalie hands.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: You know what they say about big hands, y'all. Good handshakes.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Big gloves. Oh, yeah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: JJ, I probably should have asked you this off the air,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: but we've asked on the air and texters are asking us.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: We jumped the shark a long time ago.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, bud. What happened to car talk at camp
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: this year?
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Card Talk is on a brief hiatus.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: There's some layers that go into that. I'm hoping to
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: bring it back. We will see. You know what? And
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: this is so funny that you bring this up. You
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: are the– and I am not making this up– the
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: seventh person this week to ask me about Card Talk.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: A bunch of teammates, some people. we need to do
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: it for the, we need to do it for the people.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: So I'll, I'm going to work very diligently on getting
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: that back around. So I appreciate you saying it, but again,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: it's sort of like, everyone's kind of talking to you
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: that that's, that's seven times in the last five or
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: six days.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: We talked to Nick Scott last week. He, he wants it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: He wants to go on. He wants us.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: He was one of the seven. He hasn't been on yet.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: And so he's, he wants to rekindle it. Even if
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: it's a one episode season kind of puts you where
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: his mind's at.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Also, we, we talked to Aaron hall yesterday. Unbelievable talker.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: He might be a good car dog guest at some point.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Aaron Hall was, it was easily in my top two
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: for rookie singing at training camp this year. We were struggling.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I forgot what the song was, but Sam Martin and
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I were drafting our rosters based on how kind of
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: like a fantasy draft. Like as guys were, we're going,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: we were sort of, we were sort of drafting everyone.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Aaron Hall was in the top two. I think he
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: was my second pick. Jackson to watch saying backstreet boys.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: That was obviously a top, a top spot. Aaron was
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: right there with him. So that has no shock. Duke man,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm talking about? Like Duke men, they just,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: they know how to handle them.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4:
• 7:45
  Speaker 4:
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: .
• 7:48
  Speaker 2:
• 7:50
  Speaker 2:
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: .
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: I don't, he was less notable.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: He was less notable.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: He did okay. I want to say he did maybe
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Chris Stapleton, but I don't think the volume ever got
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: off of one. He had to like really lean into here.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: So he gave his best effort. Everyone said he tried
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: his best.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: A couple of years ago, we probably talked about it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: What did XL sing a couple of years ago? Did
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: he get up there and sing?
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: I don't even remember. That's too long ago for my brain.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: That is a hell of a question.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Probably like Morgan Wallen or something.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: That had to be country. Had to be. All right,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: JJ's with us here.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: A little final Snapchat before the boys get the regular
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: season going against the Bears next week.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: All right, so we got some Ask JJ questions.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Feel free to send them in. 704-5709-610. This guy asks
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: a great question. Says, Mac, when offensive guys look at
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: their opponent like the Bears, they're looking at the defense
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: and scheme and players and all that. Defense is looking
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: at the offensive personnel and scheme. What does JJ look
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: at on film? from the Bears to get ready for
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: next week's game? Like, is there film study of what the,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: you know... special teams unit does? Like, how do you
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: do that?
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I appreciate the question. I don't mean to laugh. We're
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: studying the other team. We're doing, we're doing work.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I think he's just checking to make sure you're doing something.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Don't worry. We're hard at work. Tracy Smith is
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: on top of it already. And we're already building the
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: game plan, but I appreciate the check-in look. One of
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: the toughest parts about special teams is the guy, you
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: don't really know who they're going to show up with
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: week one. Like if, if, if we're going against the
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Chicago's offense, you know, Caleb Williams is going to be there.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: You know, the play color is the same. You know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: the offensive line is the same. You've seen stuff on tape,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: but you know who the people are and on special teams,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: it gets a little tricky because that's the bottom of
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: the roster that gets turned. Now everyone has that advantage.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Like when we show up for Chicago, you're not going
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: to know what our punt team looks like because we've
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: had a lot of roster turnover. You're not going to
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: know what our kick returner looks like because we were
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: not going to necessarily share all of that information. And
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: those people change. So what you do is spend a
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: lot of time working on is who are the highlighted
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: special teams players. We all know who those guys are.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Like for instance, forever in Chicago, Daniel Hardy, number 92
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: was always one of the premier guys. So you always
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: know who those are. And then their special teams coach,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Richard tie tower. He's got a personality as well. Is
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: he aggressive? Is he conservative? Can you know, is there
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: an opportunity for a big return? Do you want to
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: rush this punter? Do you want to, Do you want
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: to set up more returns? That stuff is still going
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: into it, but the individual matchups are hard in week one.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: You see more crazy and special teams in the first
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: two weeks than basically the rest of the season combined,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: because there's so many new people. It's like, we are
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: starting our special team season in week one where maybe
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: offense and defense was starting at six weeks ago. So
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: even though we're working through all that, there's just so
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: many people. So that's kind of the fun part of
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: special teams in the first couple of weeks is But yes,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: we are working. We are trying, we are trying to
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: understand who the people are that we're going against their
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: various size and speed and techniques. But in terms of, Hey,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: we know what they're going to do on special teams.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Not really true. Cause it's, it's a brand new ball game.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Every start of every NFL season.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: JJ, I'm working on two projects right now in my
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: spare time. I'm trying to get a Texas roadhouse in Mooresville.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: That's not going well yet, but I'm also now trying
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: to get you eventually into the Panther Hall of Honor. Now,
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: I know you might be thinking, oh, Would a long
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: snapper ever be in the Hall of Honor? You got
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: named captain yesterday for the fourth time.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Only 20 players in franchise history have that four more times,
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: and only really team MVPs and other Hall of Honor inductees,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: the greats of the greats, really, get that honor. So
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: I'm wondering, J.D., if there's ever a day, just based
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: off who you are as an individual, if they're going
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: to honor you there at Bank of America Stadium. I
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: mean that sincerely.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it. It's a very kind thing for you
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: to say. I will say this. I trust you with
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: my Hall of Honor candidacy than I would Mack with
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: my contract negotiation. That is an important thing that I
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: do want to make special note of. Do I think
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I'll ever end up there?
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: No.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: I think that there's a lot of guys... that have
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: done unbelievable things for our organization that still aren't up there.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: It's all part of that process. There's a couple years,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: and there's a lot of levels to it. I'm excited
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: to see Cam's name up there and Luke's name up
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: there and Greg. There's a lot of names, Ryan Khalil
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: and Jonathan Stewart. There's a lot of names that need
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: to go up there. But I do appreciate your kind words.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: And my kids, we get the biggest kick out of
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: that ever came to be. But I, again, I w
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: I will not be holding my breath, but if you
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: want much like Darren Gann is in charge of Luke
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Keeley getting into the hall of fame and was successful,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: although I mean, look, it did take him two whole
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: years to get them in. That's not loose. I will say,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: if you want to be in charge of that candidacy,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: I will gladly turn that over to you. Let me
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: know how that goes, what you need from me.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Knowing how we operate, I could mess this up and
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: get you honored at a Texas Roadhouse.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Instead of getting you on the Hall of Honor. That
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: might be likely. That sounds like a possibility. Long snapper
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: night at the Roadhouse. That's Mac's dream to have his
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: name up in the lights at Texas Roadhouse. Let's do
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: one more. One more. They long snap you your steak
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: to your table.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Anyway, let me hit one more.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: That's not as.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Hard as you think it would be. That's not as
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: hard as you think it'd be.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: That seems tough. 704 number says, did Bone ask with
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: a straight face if a long snapper's going to a
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: hall of fame?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Now, let's not disrespect J.J.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Serra.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: This isn't your grandpa's long snapper. This isn't your garden
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: variety long snapper, y'all. This is a legend.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Man, that is a legend.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Yes. Icon.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: A legend as a person, right?
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Icon and entertainer. You're what Cam said he was going
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: to be. Next week we'll talk statue, JJ.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: If I'm on that arc, I am way at the
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: beginning of it. Cam is much further down the road.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: He has turned himself into exactly that. 100%.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: All right, last question here from the audience. JJ talked
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: about that roughing the snapper call where he was joining
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: the TV broadcast. Why, what kind of protections do they
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: give you? I assumed in the trenches, they could just
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: bowl you over like they do the center. So what is, what's,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: what are the rules on that?
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: We are fully protected inside the box, especially on field goal.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: So basically they can't have any part of their shoulder
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: pads over any part of our shoulder pads. And after
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: the snap of the ball, they cannot hit us in
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: the head and neck area. How that oftentimes is officiated
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: is those you see there's two guys standing on the
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: defensive side. One of them is watching. One of them
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: is watching the center. Another one is watching the eligible
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: receivers for any holdings or pass interference. If there were
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: a fake, typically that penalty gets called a one of
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: two ways. Either they see the snapper's head get kind
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: of hit sideways or like in the case of the game,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: they watch the long snapper go head over heels backwards. honestly,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: we didn't even really hit him like watching on film.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: He just went backwards and they kind of, I've always
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: told you guys on this broadcast, like they officiate the grass.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Officials don't usually see the play. They see the result
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: of the play. So in that particular case, Austin Brinkman
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: went backwards, head over heels. That's typically when, what happens
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: if you run over the center. So because they saw
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: that they threw the flag, it probably shouldn't have been called.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I got hit twice in the preseason in the head
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: and they didn't call it.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: So why don't you fall back and get a call?
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Make up it in the regular season.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Can you, can you fall back and get a call
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: for us? You know what I mean? Act a little bit.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm trying to hold up to help the guards.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Those guys are getting double.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's kind of important.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: 600 guys of D-line, and I'm trying to hang in
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: there with them. I get run over, but I'm not just–
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: that is not an area for flopping for me. We've
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: talked about flopping before. That area is not flopping, but
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: after watching that particular snap, I am reassessing how much
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: I'm willing to flop on those field goals. Just let
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: everyone know, what am I getting ready for Chicago? We
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: are studying special teams film and working on flopping skills.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: just in case. I also know the officials get a
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: lot of official points for throwing personal fouls. So I'm
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: trying to talk them into understanding, Hey, those are three points.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Just throw the flag. And there's a better chance you're
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: calling the wild card round. So go ahead and throw
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: those flags all day long.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: I need to, I need the text line to simmer down.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: They're all telling me JJ is our grandpa's.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Stop that.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Also, this guy, Josh says, no, I'm sorry.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Josh says JJ's a generational talent, meaning he's played across
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: many generations of years.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I like it. That's a good sales job. Put that
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: on your sales pitch.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, think about, think about this. Steve
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: was my teammate and his first season in the NFL
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: was in 2001. So basically, just me and Steve, we've
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: covered all but five seasons of Panther football. Me and
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: John Casey covered all of them. So you get a
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: couple guys in the booth, like you're all set to go.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: I like it. This dude says he is the Gordie
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Howell of long snapping. That's the, that might be the
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: nicest thing. JJ kids. It's called today. I feel like,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: all right, brother. Well, Hey, you can.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Probably put Gordie Howe in the hall of honor before
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: you put me in. I mean, he just gets legendary
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: status from across sports.
• 18:00
