- 0:00Speaker 1: Sheeta Quick joins us here on the Mac and Bone Show. Shena,
- 0:03Speaker 1: how's your summer, Ben, what's going on?
- 0:06Speaker 2: It's been productive. I wouldn't say I'm eventful. It's been productive,
- 0:09Speaker 2: but having a good summer. How about?
- 0:11Speaker 1: Yes, it's good, but I think it's time though, right
- 0:14Speaker 1: like I think the summer has been fun, but it's
- 0:16Speaker 1: go time.
- 0:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I was. I was in Nashville Shina the past
- 0:19Speaker 3: few days, and I realized being there, how old I
- 0:21Speaker 3: now am. I've never felt older than maybe each venue
- 0:25Speaker 3: that you go into the restaurant there is the loud music,
- 0:27Speaker 3: and each venue I would say, I think this is
- 0:30Speaker 3: just too loud for me at this point in time.
- 0:32Speaker 3: Mag it was just too loud. So I felt old
- 0:35Speaker 3: and I couldn't have conversations. It was just maybe maybe Nashville,
- 0:40Speaker 3: Mac is not like like my speed.
- 0:42Speaker 4: Too young and fun for you.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Maybe it's slow and both the free hotel breakfast though tremendous.
- 0:48Speaker 4: Too much going on Shina and Nashville.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Way too much fun going on for Max liking All.
- 0:54Speaker 4: Right, let's let's let's talk some panthers. Here.
- 0:58Speaker 1: We were talking kind of about the rookies and the
- 1:00Speaker 1: position battles involving the rookies, and I did say that,
- 1:04Speaker 1: you know, Lee Hunter is the one. I kind of
- 1:06Speaker 1: feel like we could really use him playing to his
- 1:09Speaker 1: potential early, Whereas I'm okay if Walker starts and Freeling doesn't,
- 1:14Speaker 1: I'm okay if Fortner starts and Heck doesn't, would you
- 1:17Speaker 1: even will Lee? I feel like, hey, Thornton's the nickelback,
- 1:20Speaker 1: that's okay. Do you agree with that? Or like, how
- 1:23Speaker 1: do you feel about rookies and what they're going to
- 1:26Speaker 1: ask of those guys early?
- 1:29Speaker 2: I do agree. I think that Lee Hunter will have
- 1:31Speaker 2: the most immediate role of the newcomers. You know, I
- 1:36Speaker 2: think everybody else can be brought brought up to speed.
- 1:38Speaker 2: You know, accordingly, I do. I know you said that
- 1:42Speaker 2: you're okay with Rashie Walker starting. I do think that
- 1:45Speaker 2: Freeling makes his case early in the season. I don't know,
- 1:50Speaker 2: it's just a feeling I have. I know there's a
- 1:52Speaker 2: learning curve. I know there's a learning curve, especially a
- 1:54Speaker 2: left tackle, but I wouldn't be shocked.
- 1:56Speaker 1: I mean, I guess bone we ain't gonna be mad
- 1:57Speaker 1: at it, right if our first round tackle and everybody's
- 1:59Speaker 1: like whoa.
- 2:02Speaker 4: As we thought like.
- 2:03Speaker 3: That, we can't see, we can't sit here and say,
- 2:05Speaker 3: oh my god, the first round pick is playing.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Yeah, we just gotta go that. You's trying to stay
- 2:10Speaker 1: patient on some.
- 2:11Speaker 4: Of these guys. It's impossible for you to.
- 2:13Speaker 3: You know, what do you what do you think of
- 2:15Speaker 3: the wide receiver room and all the battles that we're
- 2:18Speaker 3: going to see. Obviously there are two known spots, and
- 2:21Speaker 3: we think Brasl, he's just drafted in the third round,
- 2:24Speaker 3: he fits in here somewhere. But how many do you
- 2:26Speaker 3: think they keep and who might be in trouble in
- 2:29Speaker 3: this wide receiver room.
- 2:32Speaker 2: I'm kind of tom between six and seven. I think
- 2:34Speaker 2: you have your your four guy, your four locks and McMillan, Cocher,
- 2:40Speaker 2: Exhale and Brazl. I think it gets murky after that.
- 2:44Speaker 2: I think he gets murky. I wouldn't be surprised to
- 2:45Speaker 2: see David Moore make the roster again because this is
- 2:48Speaker 2: a painfully young wide receiver's room and that veteran presence,
- 2:52Speaker 2: and of course is the prior relationship with Dave Canalis
- 2:55Speaker 2: and his special teams and things like that. That might
- 2:57Speaker 2: be enough to keep him on the fifty three again.
- 3:00Speaker 2: But it gets murky after that.
- 3:02Speaker 4: It does, and that met you is a newcomer.
- 3:04Speaker 2: You have you know Horn, you have Jimmy Horn still,
- 3:07Speaker 2: you know you have Bryson Termaine, Bryceon Tremaine.
- 3:11Speaker 1: So the problem to have those are good battles. That's
- 3:14Speaker 1: gonna be fun watching as they battle. And the point
- 3:16Speaker 1: you made about we were talking about David Moore earlier,
- 3:18Speaker 1: the way the way we always try to replace him
- 3:21Speaker 1: with young guys and he just sticks around.
- 3:23Speaker 4: You said, the key just sticks around.
- 3:25Speaker 1: You said, the key thing though, he's such a good
- 3:27Speaker 1: influence on the young guys, you know, like that's that
- 3:30Speaker 1: he and I'm sure that's part of what Canalis is thinking.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Texters want to know, did you do the six to
- 3:36Speaker 1: seven hand gesture when you said six seven wide receivers
- 3:40Speaker 1: or is that I am.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Six seven outs? Okay, I have six seven out. As
- 3:46Speaker 2: a matter of fact, could take those numbers right on
- 3:48Speaker 2: out of the Numerica lineup, you know, from five to eight.
- 3:52Speaker 2: I'm gonna skipping from five to eight at this point.
- 3:56Speaker 3: I'm not even gonna I'm not even gonna bring up
- 3:58Speaker 3: the final. Texters want your take on Carolina Mike being
- 4:03Speaker 3: on America's got talent last week.
- 4:05Speaker 2: You know what, you guys play too much. I know
- 4:08Speaker 2: exactly why they wanted to know. I am pleating the
- 4:14Speaker 2: completing the fifth. I did not see him. I hope
- 4:17Speaker 2: he did. He did well? Did he do well?
- 4:20Speaker 4: No?
- 4:20Speaker 1: They won the crowd over. But Simon call and the
- 4:23Speaker 1: judges were not so kind. How Amandel was disgusted. It
- 4:27Speaker 1: looked like what.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Man is me? And I am Simon.
- 4:32Speaker 1: It is amazing that he's still going off this one song.
- 4:36Speaker 1: He's still going. But anyway, all right, let's get back
- 4:40Speaker 1: to the task at hand with the Panthers. Speaking of,
- 4:43Speaker 1: let's talk about the defense, because my goodness, we played
- 4:46Speaker 1: a clip last week of Dan Orlotsky and Meta comes
- 4:49Speaker 1: talking about top ten. I think Dan even said, if
- 4:52Speaker 1: things break right, this is a top five unit. Would
- 4:56Speaker 1: you urge us to be this optimistic with the new
- 4:58Speaker 1: editions in the defense? Did you urge caution from us
- 5:01Speaker 1: as fans?
- 5:04Speaker 2: I think it's okay to be optimistic about this one.
- 5:06Speaker 2: You know, Evro has his critics, and you know, I
- 5:10Speaker 2: am the line later when it comes to that. I
- 5:14Speaker 2: felt like he wasn't playing aggressive enough and things like that.
- 5:16Speaker 2: But this is a year that there's no excuses. You know,
- 5:20Speaker 2: you could make the argument that there were big injuries
- 5:23Speaker 2: to Derek Brown, which is a huge flow early in
- 5:26Speaker 2: Everro's tenure here. You know, he lost Shad Thompson that
- 5:28Speaker 2: first season, like he has lost some heavy hitters injury
- 5:31Speaker 2: wise and been hit with the injury bugget unfortunate times.
- 5:34Speaker 2: And then there was a priority to protect Bryce and
- 5:37Speaker 2: get Bryce's weapons. So offense took precedence over defense, and
- 5:41Speaker 2: you saw it. You saw that in that second year
- 5:45Speaker 2: when he had the performance plummet. They were at the
- 5:47Speaker 2: bottom of the league in every category. But this year
- 5:50Speaker 2: had he has some guys. He has the guys that
- 5:53Speaker 2: fit this scheme that he's been to me kind of
- 5:56Speaker 2: forcing on the team, but didn't quite have the right
- 5:59Speaker 2: person Now now you have the right personnel, you know,
- 6:02Speaker 2: Devin Lloyd. I think it's going to be huge in
- 6:05Speaker 2: that scheme. He is a great coverage linebacker, productive coverage linebacker,
- 6:11Speaker 2: so he has all the pieces. He improved the pass rush.
- 6:14Speaker 2: I think that they made that a priority. I think
- 6:16Speaker 2: that that's part of the reason they extend to him
- 6:17Speaker 2: is that they were like, Okay, look things haven't gone
- 6:21Speaker 2: that great on that side. Of the ball that are
- 6:22Speaker 2: outside of your control. Again, like I said, offense taking priority,
- 6:26Speaker 2: and then there were injuries, and I think that they
- 6:28Speaker 2: really invested on that side of the ball. And this
- 6:31Speaker 2: is going to be a big year, not only for
- 6:33Speaker 2: the defense, just forever, honestly, as a DC will finally
- 6:37Speaker 2: get to see what he can do with a fully
- 6:41Speaker 2: functional and fully staffed so to speak, defense that fits,
- 6:46Speaker 2: you know, the mode of players that he wants. He
- 6:48Speaker 2: has his guys so to speak, not even necessarily you know,
- 6:51Speaker 2: personally Devinloyd, but the type of traits that he needs
- 6:54Speaker 2: to make his offensive scheme really really work.
- 6:58Speaker 3: There's a lot of hype that's off season when you
- 7:00Speaker 3: read about projections for breakout players want to knicks score
- 7:04Speaker 3: and hype, and we're we're a part of that as well.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Are you buying the hype of how good people think
- 7:10Speaker 3: Nick Scorton can be here in year two?
- 7:14Speaker 2: I am. I think it's going to make a jump.
- 7:15Speaker 2: And I mean I think he had a solid rookie season.
- 7:17Speaker 2: I think he makes a jump because he's a very
- 7:19Speaker 2: very hard worker. He is a student of the game,
- 7:22Speaker 2: and I think that last he doesn't know what it's
- 7:24Speaker 2: like to not make the playoffs.
- 7:26Speaker 4: About that, you imagine that you know what it's like to.
- 7:31Speaker 2: And just getting a taste of it and being as
- 7:33Speaker 2: close as they were a lot. It's a different hunger
- 7:36Speaker 2: in these guys this season. Not saying that they weren't
- 7:38Speaker 2: hungry seasons prior, but they were that close to shocking
- 7:41Speaker 2: the rest of the NFL and beating the Rams, and
- 7:44Speaker 2: that's not enough. They want to It's not enough for
- 7:46Speaker 2: them to make the playoffs now. They want to make
- 7:47Speaker 2: the playoffs and do something. It's not enough for them
- 7:49Speaker 2: to win the NFC South because of the Falcons and
- 7:52Speaker 2: Saints results. They want to win the division out right.
- 7:55Speaker 2: They have all these critics still that despite feeling like
- 7:59Speaker 2: the Panther's over it last year, they're still not getting
- 8:01Speaker 2: their respect mainstream. So you see a lot of those
- 8:03Speaker 2: guys working out with that chip on this show. Do
- 8:06Speaker 2: you see a lot more guys working out together this offseason?
- 8:09Speaker 1: All good signs, those are all good and yeah, go
- 8:11Speaker 1: ahead and get get that Yeah, get that chip on
- 8:13Speaker 1: the shoulder. I know what I know, I get two
- 8:15Speaker 1: in my feels too much. She know when the list
- 8:17Speaker 1: ranks like but the one that rank Bryce starting at
- 8:20Speaker 1: SI dot Com. I get too worked up about that stuff.
- 8:23Speaker 1: But yeah, let that chip build, Let that chip build.
- 8:26Speaker 1: What do you think about Bryce this year? It seems
- 8:30Speaker 1: like they still want to kind of wait and see
- 8:33Speaker 1: more from him. Do you feel like, do you feel
- 8:36Speaker 1: like he earns like if you had to go one
- 8:39Speaker 1: way or the other, do you think he earns the
- 8:41Speaker 1: contract extension after his fourth year or no?
- 8:43Speaker 4: What's your gut feeling on this?
- 8:46Speaker 2: I think he does. And I think that so many
- 8:48Speaker 2: people have like h and this is what I don't
- 8:51Speaker 2: understand when I see some of the discourse on Panther's Twitter.
- 8:55Speaker 2: The Panthers just got out of QB purgatory. Yeah, they've
- 8:59Speaker 2: given up on QB. He's way too early, Teddy Bridgewater.
- 9:02Speaker 2: When you look back, statistically, you had three thousand yard
- 9:05Speaker 2: performers on the offensive side of the ball, and Teddy
- 9:08Speaker 2: statistically was exactly what he had always been. He was
- 9:10Speaker 2: his advertised He didn't, you know, have gaudy numbers, but
- 9:13Speaker 2: he wasn't. He didn't tank. But the Panthers like, oh
- 9:15Speaker 2: my god, Panic need somebody else. And then you come in,
- 9:18Speaker 2: you bring Sam Donald in, Oh my god, panic needs
- 9:20Speaker 2: somebody else. Sam Donald goes and wins the Super Bowl. Again,
- 9:23Speaker 2: I know that there's a lot of factors that go
- 9:25Speaker 2: into winning the Super Bowl. Seattle's defense weighed heavily, you know,
- 9:28Speaker 2: the players that they had around Sam. But still I
- 9:30Speaker 2: think that this team historically has given up on QB's
- 9:34Speaker 2: way too fast. And that's why I'm just so perplexed
- 9:37Speaker 2: as to why they're ready to oh no, no, no,
- 9:39Speaker 2: that's not our franchise quarterback. Let's go back in the
- 9:41Speaker 2: draft and find someone, and then you're going to be
- 9:43Speaker 2: impatient with that player. So I do think that Bryce
- 9:46Speaker 2: is a guy. I think that they're making trying to
- 9:48Speaker 2: make it make sense dollars and cents wise, But I
- 9:51Speaker 2: don't think that there's a hesitancy, so to speak, with
- 9:55Speaker 2: to higher ups for the Panthers. As regards to Bryce Young,
- 10:00Speaker 2: I don't think that there's a bunch of hesitancy there.
- 10:02Speaker 2: I think that they know what they have in him.
- 10:04Speaker 2: And again, you go to the draft, you rolling the dice.
- 10:07Speaker 4: That's lottery, sheen or you're killing the lottery.
- 10:09Speaker 2: You don't know if it's going you're.
- 10:11Speaker 4: Killing it today that I love that point.
- 10:14Speaker 1: I'd like to and I think we've said that too
- 10:16Speaker 1: to some of these Bryce haters and detractors and doubters
- 10:19Speaker 1: and showers on the text line like do you remember
- 10:22Speaker 1: how much it sucked like bouncing from QB Like I'd like,
- 10:25Speaker 1: there's something to be said for a quarterback that's improven
- 10:28Speaker 1: and that bald out with six game winning drives in
- 10:32Speaker 1: late in games last year. All right, Shanna, before we
- 10:35Speaker 1: let you go, we gotta we got to ask you
- 10:37Speaker 1: to give us the info on the new project you
- 10:40Speaker 1: have going. Uh you Joe person of the athletic and
- 10:44Speaker 1: then dunk from the Unnecessary Bluntness brand.
- 10:48Speaker 4: Uh yeah, talk about this? When can everybody hear y'all?
- 10:52Speaker 2: We will be broadcasting live our first show on Wednesday
- 10:56Speaker 2: at seven pm. During the season. I believe we're gonna
- 10:58Speaker 2: move to a Tuesday time slot because it just works
- 11:00Speaker 2: better with the Panthers schedule. But yeah, we kick things
- 11:04Speaker 2: off this week. I'm really excited about it. I think
- 11:06Speaker 2: that it is a fun and innovative show that merges
- 11:11Speaker 2: beat writers and reporters with content creators because I think that,
- 11:14Speaker 2: you know, the way that media is going, the traditional
- 11:16Speaker 2: way of media and the traditional way that people cover
- 11:19Speaker 2: these teams is a thing of the past and I
- 11:22Speaker 2: think it's really important to get fan perspective, but not
- 11:24Speaker 2: only fan perspective. Dunk is very knowledgeable.
- 11:27Speaker 3: He does.
- 11:27Speaker 2: I love his breakdowns. So you're not getting a emotional fan,
- 11:31Speaker 2: You're getting a well informed fan that's given you a
- 11:33Speaker 2: different perspective. So I'm really excited for people to tune
- 11:37Speaker 2: into that and see what kind of feedback we get
- 11:39Speaker 2: from that. But it should be fun. And I did
- 11:42Speaker 2: want to make one more point ahead, go ahead about
- 11:47Speaker 2: this quarterback thing. The thing it still makes me mad.
- 11:50Speaker 2: We are not that far removed from the Panthers paying
- 11:53Speaker 2: Cam Newton's replacement in Teddy Breakwater, Cam Newton's replacement replacement
- 11:58Speaker 2: in Sam Darnold, and then having to go back and
- 12:01Speaker 2: pay Cam again, all in the same season, and the
- 12:05Speaker 2: Baker moves from that. So listen, appreciate the lack of
- 12:10Speaker 2: ineptitude in that in that front office. Trust these guys
- 12:14Speaker 2: and and build a team. Build the team, allow your
- 12:17Speaker 2: team to jail. I like that. That's my last point.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Good stuff, man. Another great on five she is in
- 12:24Speaker 1: regular season four is.
- 12:25Speaker 4: A good point. We were paying all those guys the.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Same That's what happens when you can and then you've
- 12:29Speaker 1: got different offenses coming in because the coach of what
- 12:31Speaker 1: a cluster f we were? My god, any Sheena's point,
- 12:35Speaker 1: why do we want to go back to our champions?
- 12:38Speaker 4: All right?
- 12:38Speaker 2: Sheena?
- 12:39Speaker 1: Great great stuff, Sheena, Good luck with the with the
- 12:43Speaker 1: endeavor on I guess for now Wednesday night on YouTube.
- 12:46Speaker 1: And thanks for coming on We'll see you out of camp.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Appreciate you, Thank you guys,
