Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Oh, oh, oh, it's Mac and Bo on your radio, baby.
- 0:07Speaker 2: This is my friend Matt. Posh, come on, Posh. This
- 0:10Speaker 2: is my friend T-Bone.
- 0:13Speaker 3: Let's have some fun.
- 0:14Speaker 4: I can't go to work without listening to Mac and Bone.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Do it live.
- 0:27Speaker 5: We just talked complete game, not perfect game, and it
- 0:29Speaker 5: was definitely imperfect. But the heart and soul of our team.
- 0:32Speaker 5: Last night we talked about the last of the hard.
- 0:34Speaker 5: Our team is the last of the hard. We're doing
- 0:36Speaker 5: it the damn hard way.
- 0:37Speaker 6: I mean that.
- 0:38Speaker 5: And I'm just so damn proud of our team. And
- 0:41Speaker 5: we just beat a team, man, that's got triple our resources, dude.
- 0:44Speaker 5: And to come in here in their house in this environment,
- 0:46Speaker 5: the confidence our guys have in what we're doing right
- 0:48Speaker 5: now is unbelievable, and I can't wait to celebrate with them.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Where's your emotion come from, Coach?
- 0:52Speaker 7: We feel it.
- 0:55Speaker 2: You want me to be honest?
- 0:56Speaker 5: My wife's dad passed away a couple weeks ago, and
- 0:59Speaker 5: she's there today, and I'm not there for someone I love.
- 1:03Speaker 5: Everyone thinks coaching is.
- 1:04Speaker 2: This perfect thing. My heart was with her today. She
- 1:08Speaker 2: knows I love her. Honey, I love you.
- 1:11Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 1:14Speaker 8: That's Jake Dickert. Wake Forest, y'all got yourself a real one, man.
- 1:17Speaker 8: You got yourself a real one. That's a real man
- 1:20Speaker 8: right there showing those emotions that he's feeling as a husband.
- 1:25Speaker 8: And he is one hell of a real, legit, bona
- 1:29Speaker 8: fide coach. What a win for Wake Forest on the
- 1:32Speaker 8: road against Louisville. And everybody was involved. G.O., The run game,
- 1:39Speaker 8: Hernandez goes the heck off almost 200 yards rushing. He
- 1:43Speaker 8: had nine of their 12 catches by himself, or 200
- 1:45Speaker 8: yards receiving, almost nine catches out of their 12 catches.
- 1:48Speaker 8: And then the defense just disrupting over and over again
- 1:52Speaker 8: and containing a run game that's not just the Brown brothers,
- 1:55Speaker 8: not just the Kiwan Brown and Isaac Brown. They did
- 1:58Speaker 8: a great job on them. But Lincoln Keenholz is such
- 2:01Speaker 8: a big part of things as a runner, too. The
- 2:04Speaker 8: way they shut that run game down, the block kick
- 2:07Speaker 8: at the end, it's pumped or pissed time. Wake Forest,
- 2:11Speaker 8: I know you're not the biggest, mightiest fan base, but
- 2:13Speaker 8: everybody's a Wake fan.
- 2:14Speaker 2: But they should be the loudest right now.
- 2:17Speaker 8: Y'all better text in today with happiness because, God, what?
- 2:22Speaker 8: I mean, and this team, this team's not done getting
- 2:24Speaker 8: people boned.
- 2:26Speaker 2: No, they're not. And you wonder, we'll see how it
- 2:29Speaker 2: plays out, but the two teams, Mac, the two coaches
- 2:33Speaker 2: last year, and it's now three years for Manny Diaz,
- 2:36Speaker 2: but we said, man, Manny Diaz and Jake Dickert, look
- 2:39Speaker 2: what they're doing in this era in football at Duke
- 2:42Speaker 2: and Wake. Can they do it again? And right now,
- 2:45Speaker 2: Wake Forest has a huge win over Louisville. Duke is
- 2:48Speaker 2: undefeated so far. So the coaches, Mac, that we touted
- 2:51Speaker 2: last year and said, can they keep it going? Well,
- 2:54Speaker 2: so far, both those coaches have kept it going so far. Absolutely.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Jake Dickert's just the perfect fit for them right now.
- 3:00Speaker 2: He's tremendous, and.
- 3:01Speaker 8: I think he'd be, you know, he's just a hell
- 3:03Speaker 8: of a coach. I'm trying not to do the thing, Bone,
- 3:06Speaker 8: where we start placing him somewhere else.
- 3:08Speaker 2: I don't want to ruin it for Wake fans today.
- 3:10Speaker 8: Although the problem is, once we start talking about South
- 3:13Speaker 8: Carolina and how pissed they should be on a Pump
- 3:15Speaker 8: to Piss Monday, Jake Dickert's name could come up.
- 3:19Speaker 2: So I don't want to ruin it for Wake.
- 3:22Speaker 8: But it could happen here in a little bit.
- 3:25Speaker 2: I don't want that to happen. I think Jay Dicker
- 3:27Speaker 2: Mac belongs at Wake Forest. I did not recently look
- 3:31Speaker 2: up his buyout within the last three minutes at Wake Forest. No, no,
- 3:34Speaker 2: you haven't been trying to do this. It's a private school,
- 3:36Speaker 2: so I can't get the information right now. But I
- 3:38Speaker 2: did it just because I want to pass the info along.
- 3:42Speaker 2: to tell people to stop asking about Jake Dinkert's buyout
- 3:46Speaker 2: at Wake Forest if you're a South Carolina fan.
- 3:48Speaker 8: Knock it off. Smitty from Kentucky, Louisville fan, pissed here.
- 3:53Speaker 8: We said it on Friday that they're coming off the
- 3:55Speaker 8: emotional high. Wake showed how competitive they are, the way
- 4:01Speaker 8: they pushed Miami in the second half. We thought it
- 4:03Speaker 8: was one that would be tough. But I think we
- 4:07Speaker 8: thought Louisville would get it. Kudos to Wake for finishing
- 4:09Speaker 8: the game off. They got a little lucky on that
- 4:11Speaker 8: missed field goal, too, before the one that they blocked.
- 4:13Speaker 8: Texter says Wake's got the best D coordinator of football.
- 4:17Speaker 8: This Texter says Gio Lopez in this offense is unstoppable. Yeah,
- 4:22Speaker 8: it's hard not to hit Carolina coaches with a stray bone.
- 4:26Speaker 8: I did that earlier in the show, much to Finney's chagrin,
- 4:29Speaker 8: because they didn't use them properly. And the kid's not right.
- 4:32Speaker 8: The kid's got a hip injury. He's playing through it.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Who else?
- 4:36Speaker 8: Before we get into the pissed list on a Pumped
- 4:38Speaker 8: or Pissed Monday, and I've already got South Carolina fans complaining,
- 4:42Speaker 8: NC State fans complaining. This dude says, don't even talk
- 4:45Speaker 8: to me about we won the game, Dave Doran.
- 4:48Speaker 2: That was embarrassing.
- 4:51Speaker 8: Who else goes on the positive side of things?
- 4:53Speaker 2: I actually thought app fans... I thought app fans.
- 4:55Speaker 8: Could be really proud of their team. You talked in
- 4:58Speaker 8: the first hour about how good Singleton looks. He goes
- 5:00Speaker 8: for 300 plus on them. They couldn't run the ball,
- 5:02Speaker 8: but he starts making plays. They rally from 21 down
- 5:05Speaker 8: to tie it. I think app fans have to be
- 5:08Speaker 8: chomping at the bit to start conference play against ODU
- 5:11Speaker 8: this week because this app team is better than last year's.
- 5:17Speaker 8: to me, significantly better.
- 5:19Speaker 2: And you have a quarterback now, unlike last year, that
- 5:23Speaker 2: is playing at a high level. And I said it earlier,
- 5:27Speaker 2: when Norris Sellers was at his best with Dow Loggins,
- 5:31Speaker 2: and two years later, Malachi Singleton is playing very good
- 5:35Speaker 2: football under Dow Loggins at App State right now.
- 5:37Speaker 8: And the defense, they come up with a big strip sack.
- 5:40Speaker 8: The coaching on display with the onside kick. I mean,
- 5:43Speaker 8: the NC State coach, do-do-do-do-do, is that legal? They completely
- 5:48Speaker 8: got caught off guard by the onside kick. That was brilliant.
- 5:52Speaker 8: So I don't think there's any doubt that App State fan. Now,
- 5:55Speaker 8: this guy's mad. Big Red and Hickory. App State fan
- 5:59Speaker 8: here pissed with the hometown refs. Oh, yeah, that's another thing. Bone,
- 6:03Speaker 8: I thought they got the shaft on the play early
- 6:07Speaker 8: where they said Duke Scott's forward progress was stopped and
- 6:10Speaker 8: Ferris ripped the ball from him. I thought that was
- 6:14Speaker 8: pretty brutal. And there was another one, too. I forgot
- 6:17Speaker 8: to look. I got it in my notes somewhere. There
- 6:19Speaker 8: was another call where I thought, man, oh, I don't
- 6:23Speaker 8: know if they got screwed, but the fumble they forespone,
- 6:27Speaker 8: and it turns out the ball went out of bounds
- 6:29Speaker 8: or whatever.
- 6:29Speaker 9: Yes.
- 6:30Speaker 8: That might be more just crappy luck, although App fans
- 6:33Speaker 8: might yell at me and say we got screwed on
- 6:34Speaker 8: that one, too. But, yeah, those plays go different ways.
- 6:38Speaker 8: App State might win the damn football game in Raleigh.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Mac, what's the– I know this is a dangerous question, but–
- 6:44Speaker 2: What's the future of Tim Albin at Charlotte at this point?
- 6:48Speaker 2: Seems like the nice guy. It was a very tough job.
- 6:52Speaker 2: But this is the second year now, and it doesn't
- 6:54Speaker 2: feel like Mack gets going. I know that they were
- 6:57Speaker 2: better against Ole Miss than we thought. The final score
- 7:00Speaker 2: against App for the 49ers was better than we thought.
- 7:03Speaker 2: I thought Louisiana was a game who– Louisiana's a good program.
- 7:07Speaker 2: I thought that was a game, hey, maybe they can be–
- 7:09Speaker 2: I predict them to win the game. But I thought,
- 7:11Speaker 2: all right, here's an opportunity now– to maybe get a
- 7:13Speaker 2: big win, and they lose 34-7. Now they've got Memphis,
- 7:17Speaker 2: then North Texas. What's the future, Mac, in your eyes
- 7:21Speaker 2: of Tim Albin at Charlotte? Well, the AD that's there
- 7:24Speaker 2: now didn't hire him. Exactly.
- 7:25Speaker 8: So he's got to be looking at this like, you
- 7:29Speaker 8: don't think he's thinking?
- 7:31Speaker 2: I can do better.
- 7:32Speaker 8: I can hire better. Now, we all know that Tim
- 7:34Speaker 8: Albin did a great job at Ohio. We know that
- 7:36Speaker 8: the NIL era is kind of tough on Charlotte, although
- 7:39Speaker 8: they did raise a ton of money. I've been told, Bone,
- 7:41Speaker 8: they upped the money significantly.
- 7:43Speaker 2: And look at their last five games. Tulane, UAB, who
- 7:47Speaker 2: just beat Navy, ECU, Tulsa, who beat Oklahoma State, and
- 7:52Speaker 2: then Navy at the end.
- 7:53Speaker 10: So, again.
- 7:55Speaker 8: This is, I don't know, they may not win a
- 7:57Speaker 8: game this year. I think, sadly, I think that's definitely
- 8:00Speaker 8: in play. That offensive performance the other night was absolutely horrendous.
- 8:04Speaker 8: 137 yards of offense. That's all you've got. They can't
- 8:07Speaker 8: run the ball the last two weeks. They ran it
- 8:09Speaker 8: on Ole Miss, but then again, Florida ran for 5,000
- 8:11Speaker 8: yards on Ole Miss. Everybody runs it on Ole Miss.
- 8:14Speaker 8: But the way they've run it the last couple weeks
- 8:17Speaker 8: since Williams has been gone has, I'm sure, frustrated App fans.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Gonzalez.
- 8:23Speaker 8: It feels like he's pressing, but they bench him for
- 8:26Speaker 8: Harrell at one point. It was at least a close game, Bo.
- 8:30Speaker 8: They get the scoop and score at the end of
- 8:32Speaker 8: the half by Jalen Johnson. It's 10-7. The turnovers, though,
- 8:38Speaker 8: four turnovers, and they're just handing short fields over to
- 8:41Speaker 8: Louisiana over and over again. I can't—I got no— I got nothing.
- 8:51Speaker 8: In the words of Jeff Probst on Survivor, Charlotte fans,
- 8:54Speaker 8: I got nothing for you. Back to your camp. I
- 8:59Speaker 8: just don't know what to say, man. I almost wonder
- 9:03Speaker 8: if it's worth playing the freshman quarterback at some point.
- 9:06Speaker 8: Like the kid's supposed to be good, but he's inexperienced?
- 9:08Speaker 8: I don't freaking know. Florida Gator fans checking in on
- 9:12Speaker 8: the pump scale. Are you thinking of going back to
- 9:16Speaker 8: the Gator's bone?
- 9:16Speaker 2: You have that look in your eye like you're looking
- 9:18Speaker 2: at a hot X. I have not said a single
- 9:21Speaker 2: word about the Gator. Where did that come from? Off
- 9:24Speaker 2: the air. You said, I wasn't the slightest bit excited
- 9:27Speaker 2: about that win. I'm like, whoa. No, no, no, no, no, no.
- 9:29Speaker 2: You are. That's bad. There we go. There we go.
- 9:32Speaker 2: That's bad. That's bad teammate. That's bad teammate. Why? Because
- 9:36Speaker 2: it sounded like you were like a little excited. That's
- 9:38Speaker 2: not the tone. That's not the tone that I had.
- 9:41Speaker 2: That's not the tone that I had.
- 9:43Speaker 3: Chomp a bone. Why are you an ass clown? That's
- 9:50Speaker 3: not the tone I said it with. We're just having
- 9:52Speaker 3: some fun here. No, it's not fun because now I'm
- 9:54Speaker 3: going to deal with this. No, again, I'm happy with
- 9:57Speaker 3: the Gamecocks.
- 9:58Speaker 5: Really?
- 9:58Speaker 2: Why would I not be? How long have you got?
- 10:02Speaker 4: I've got a list.
- 10:02Speaker 2: I sat there the other night and said, self. I
- 10:05Speaker 2: said to myself, self, this is happiness. No, but I
- 10:08Speaker 2: did not say it with that tone. I said they
- 10:11Speaker 2: blew out Ole Miss like I said they would, but
- 10:13Speaker 2: I didn't get all that fired up over it. No,
- 10:15Speaker 2: you didn't throw in the blowout vote. No, no, no.
- 10:18Speaker 2: You're a filthy, dirty, nasty liar. Hey, go ahead. Whatever
- 10:23Speaker 2: you got to say. You're a fat-headed liar. Whatever you
- 10:25Speaker 2: got to say to your South Carolina peeps.
- 10:28Speaker 10: All right?
- 10:28Speaker 2: Whatever you got to say. I heard you talking about
- 10:30Speaker 2: the Ravens off the air today. I definitely wasn't talking
- 10:34Speaker 2: about the Ravens. I heard you talking about how much
- 10:35Speaker 2: you liked that win yesterday. I said anybody beats the
- 10:37Speaker 2: Ravens like that. Are you going back to the Ravens?
- 10:39Speaker 2: Anybody beats that?
- 10:39Speaker 6: No.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Definitely not. You going back to the Ravens? Definitely not. Ravens-Mac?
- 10:42Speaker 2: Let's have a little fun here.
- 10:44Speaker 5: All right.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Can we move along here? Have a little fun here, Ravens-Mac.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Let's move along here. Let's move along. Because you know
- 10:49Speaker 2: you're full of it.
- 10:49Speaker 11: 704-570-9610.
- 10:49Speaker 8: Oh, I can't have fun back? You can, but I
- 10:54Speaker 8: want to move the show along here. All right. We've
- 10:56Speaker 8: both had so much fun during this segment.
- 10:58Speaker 3: All right.
- 10:59Speaker 8: Let's go to South Carolina. You want to have fun?
- 11:01Speaker 8: Let's go to South Carolina. Shane Beamer looks like he
- 11:07Speaker 8: has no answers. He looks kind of like Tim Albin
- 11:10Speaker 8: right now. They both have the same expression, Bo. Like
- 11:12Speaker 8: they've tried things and they have no answers whatsoever.
- 11:16Speaker 2: I like... You said it earlier.
- 11:18Speaker 8: If you're a South Carolina fan, they start the game
- 11:21Speaker 8: by moving at the first two drives.
- 11:22Speaker 2: And I was an idiot. I really thought they'd compete
- 11:24Speaker 2: in this game. I really did.
- 11:26Speaker 8: And this is the type of game, Bone, they would
- 11:28Speaker 8: have competed in the past couple years. And the fact
- 11:30Speaker 8: that they didn't, I feel like is a really bad sign.
- 11:35Speaker 8: Dylan Stewart seems like a lunatic right now that they
- 11:38Speaker 8: have no control over.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:41Speaker 8: Where do you start with South Carolina? I thought the secondary.
- 11:44Speaker 8: I mean, that performance in the secondary bone is one
- 11:46Speaker 8: of the worst performances I've ever seen from a secondary
- 11:48Speaker 8: in organized football.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Yeah, it was awful on all fronts. There was nothing
- 11:54Speaker 2: positive through their performance as a team for the way
- 11:59Speaker 2: that Dylan Stewart acted both towards his coaches and punching
- 12:03Speaker 2: the fullback for Bama. I mean, he says two or
- 12:06Speaker 2: three times in the game. He was on a pitch
- 12:11Speaker 2: count of 12 for the game. I've never seen a
- 12:13Speaker 2: guy cause more destruction, Mac, and only play in 12 plays.
- 12:16Speaker 2: than Dylan Stewart did the other day. Pete Nakos of
- 12:19Speaker 2: On3 says that a loss to Kentucky will be the
- 12:23Speaker 2: nail in the coffin for Shane Beamer. That doesn't mean
- 12:26Speaker 2: a win solves everything. The buyout right now is $ 28 million.
- 12:31Speaker 2: It goes to $ 22 in December. Shane Beamer is not only...
- 12:35Speaker 2: losing control of the team from a schematic and football standpoint.
- 12:41Speaker 2: He's losing control over guys like Dylan Stewart, who knows
- 12:45Speaker 2: how bad it is behind the scenes. You're paying all
- 12:48Speaker 2: this money for Stewart, for sellers, for Harbor. You've got
- 12:51Speaker 2: a lot of money invested in this program, and that's
- 12:54Speaker 2: how you act on national TV. I accept the losses.
- 12:57Speaker 2: They're South Carolina and the SEC. They're going to pile up.
- 12:59Speaker 2: They're going to happen. But to have a performance where
- 13:02Speaker 2: you don't show up and you look that bad, that's
- 13:04Speaker 2: where it's unacceptable to me.
- 13:05Speaker 8: Yeah, and if people have not heard, Dylan Stewart's been
- 13:07Speaker 8: suspended indefinitely by the Gamecocks. Will not play this week,
- 13:11Speaker 8: and he may never play again. They may just tell him,
- 13:12Speaker 8: go get yourself ready for the NFL. You've got to
- 13:15Speaker 8: wonder what's happening to his NFL stock right now, too,
- 13:18Speaker 8: because not only did he throw a punch— At a
- 13:22Speaker 8: player in the middle of the game on Alabama. But
- 13:24Speaker 8: he also was being a complete jerk to the coaching staff.
- 13:27Speaker 8: And I sense, Bone, that's what he's being suspended for.
- 13:31Speaker 8: Refusing to come out of a game when an assistant
- 13:33Speaker 8: is like, bro, I'm substituting you. Just saying, no, I'm good.
- 13:36Speaker 8: The way he treated Shane Beamer when Shane Beamer tried
- 13:38Speaker 8: to coach him and yell at him. And here's the
- 13:40Speaker 8: danger of the NIL era. You've got to give money
- 13:42Speaker 8: to the right people. Like, they have paid him and
- 13:46Speaker 8: they paid Lenora Sellersbone. Holy crap, the money's looking wasted
- 13:50Speaker 8: right now. Just think of all the players you could
- 13:52Speaker 8: have gotten with that money. And that's the thing. Whereas
- 13:55Speaker 8: you look at Oregon, and granted, Oregon's got so much
- 13:57Speaker 8: damn money, they might have the most money in the sport.
- 14:00Speaker 8: But that money they spent on Raiola, when a lot
- 14:02Speaker 8: of people, me included, were like, do.
- 14:04Speaker 2: You really need to do that?
- 14:06Speaker 8: And look how it paid off when Dante Moore got
- 14:08Speaker 8: knocked out. You've got to spend your money right. At
- 14:11Speaker 8: NC State, C.J. Bailey's, since the opener, C.J. Bailey's been
- 14:14Speaker 8: playing some pretty good football. He obviously had the brain
- 14:16Speaker 8: fart against Vandy Bone. I thought he played pretty good
- 14:19Speaker 8: the other night. But I think a lot of people
- 14:21Speaker 8: are questioning in state, like, we paid C.J. all this money,
- 14:25Speaker 8: but couldn't afford to keep his receivers.
- 14:27Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 14:27Speaker 8: So I just think there's a lot of questions about
- 14:30Speaker 8: how you spend your money and you got to give
- 14:33Speaker 8: it to the right guys.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Like you can't really, I mean, so much is invested
- 14:36Speaker 2: in South Carolina and sellers and Harbor and Stewart, but it's,
- 14:41Speaker 2: it's not really, you talk about wasted money. It's not
- 14:44Speaker 2: really spread around evenly. And you're seeing that right now, right? There's,
- 14:47Speaker 2: It's hard to put it all into a couple players
- 14:51Speaker 2: when the rosters are that big and they're going to
- 14:53Speaker 2: get exposed everywhere else.
- 14:55Speaker 8: This texter says, wild temper tantrum by Stewart. Coach Pauly,
- 14:59Speaker 8: insubordination towards any coaching staff members and automatic suspension. This
- 15:05Speaker 8: dude says, move Beamer to GM. Pay him the same.
- 15:09Speaker 8: Get a new coach. Dickert sounds good or maybe Caldwell.
- 15:12Speaker 8: So there you go.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Shane Beamer has gone to the, we played the audio
- 15:16Speaker 2: in the first hour. He has gone to the, the well,
- 15:20Speaker 2: I can't tell you how many times the, the rally,
- 15:23Speaker 2: the troop speech of next week, we're going to go
- 15:25Speaker 2: out there. We're going to play better. What it's worked
- 15:28Speaker 2: in the past a few times, but Mac, you know
- 15:31Speaker 2: that you're desperate when you're going back to that time
- 15:33Speaker 2: and time again, stop talking, stop promising. Start delivering. And
- 15:38Speaker 2: Shane Beamer does. I like Shane Beamer, but he does
- 15:40Speaker 2: a lot of talking, and it's going nowhere right now. Yeah,
- 15:44Speaker 2: you're not helping because the fans right now are hating
- 15:47Speaker 2: you more because you keep saying the same thing.
- 15:50Speaker 8: And the players, are the players listening to that rah-rah stuff,
- 15:52Speaker 8: or have you lost them? Is that message now not
- 15:55Speaker 8: getting home for them? This dude says— I told you
- 15:58Speaker 8: what my dad said in the first hour today, yesterday.
- 16:00Speaker 8: Shane Beamer looks like a guy that's always trying to
- 16:03Speaker 8: figure out why his lawnmower won't start. Just a look
- 16:06Speaker 8: of confusion. He's looking around.
- 16:09Speaker 2: He looks like he just doesn't know what's going on
- 16:11Speaker 2: and he can't get that damn mower started over there.
- 16:14Speaker 8: What does poor Tim Albin look like now? Tim Albin
- 16:16Speaker 8: looks like someone stole his lawnmower.
- 16:17Speaker 2: He was like, I don't even have a lawnmower anymore.
- 16:20Speaker 8: He's stuck on a ladder and can't get down. It's
- 16:23Speaker 8: a seven Oh four number says fellas. I noticed Clemson
- 16:27Speaker 8: gets a big win on a Friday night. And by
- 16:29Speaker 8: Monday y'all have forgotten about it. Clemson. I, we talked
- 16:33Speaker 8: about in the first hour, uh, I think there's some
- 16:36Speaker 8: coaching being done by Dabo and the staff. I think
- 16:39Speaker 8: that they're starting to get the running game going bone. Um, they,
- 16:42Speaker 8: the defense, which has been much maligned. I mean, what
- 16:45Speaker 8: part of them hasn't been much maligned so far this season,
- 16:47Speaker 8: but the defense has been much maligned that job. They
- 16:50Speaker 8: did defensively on JKS the other night. Who's like a legit,
- 16:55Speaker 8: like top five NFL pick talent. Is that good? They
- 16:58Speaker 8: did an amazing job defensively, man. They really did. They
- 17:02Speaker 8: got the, um, uh, They got the return touchdown too.
- 17:05Speaker 8: Like there's, it's, I don't know, again, like they got
- 17:08Speaker 8: Miami this week, Bones, so they can lose by 30
- 17:10Speaker 8: and everybody could be ripping Davo the dinosaur again. But like,
- 17:13Speaker 8: if you're a Clemson fan, the last game and a half,
- 17:16Speaker 8: I think you got to feel a little proud of
- 17:17Speaker 8: the boys.
- 17:19Speaker 2: You know?
- 17:19Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's like, no, no, no. But that
- 17:24Speaker 2: is a tough spot to win coming off a big
- 17:27Speaker 2: home win. That was emotional for Dabo to get them
- 17:30Speaker 2: ready on a short week. No, that is a that's
- 17:33Speaker 2: a big time. I thought mature wind for Clemson with
- 17:36Speaker 2: a young quarterback in a spot where that could have
- 17:39Speaker 2: gone awry. Like it's done many times on short weeks
- 17:42Speaker 2: like that of the team's traveling west. So, no, I
- 17:44Speaker 2: tip my cap to Dabo on that one for sure.
- 17:47Speaker 2: That's the professional broadcast journalist that I am here. There
- 17:51Speaker 2: you go, Bone. Don't hurt you. It pains you.
- 17:53Speaker 8: You're literally in anguish right now giving them credit. Tom
- 17:57Speaker 8: Bone call. Texter says, I'm a Vols fan. I am furious.
- 18:03Speaker 8: Arch Manning ain't that dude? Texas' offense is crap, and
- 18:07Speaker 8: we let him off the hook. Well, you had a
- 18:09Speaker 8: Panther situation. You could not protect your quarterback. Now, granted,
- 18:13Speaker 8: Faison made some mistakes, Bo, right up until he didn't
- 18:16Speaker 8: on the final drive with the touchdown pass. I don't
- 18:19Speaker 8: think he had to pass more than like 12 yards.
- 18:21Speaker 8: you know, until that last one. But my God, Colin
- 18:25Speaker 8: Simmons and those boys went off. Now you can't do
- 18:27Speaker 8: a damn R. Kelly celebration. You can't, you can't, you
- 18:31Speaker 8: can't whip it out and start tinkling. Right.
- 18:34Speaker 2: But my God.
- 18:35Speaker 8: Colin Simmons, five sacks, Texas, 10 sacks.
- 18:38Speaker 2: But I do agree.
- 18:39Speaker 8: Like we, have we all changed our expectations for Arch Manning?
- 18:44Speaker 8: Arch Manning's all right.
- 18:46Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 18:47Speaker 8: But Arch Manning did some very unmanning things like he
- 18:49Speaker 8: made some dumb mistakes in that game where I'm like,
- 18:52Speaker 8: you in the Manning family?
- 18:53Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't he doesn't have like that Manning dominance,
- 18:56Speaker 2: I don't think.
- 18:57Speaker 10: Right.
- 18:57Speaker 2: He's you're right. He's all right. But you keep waiting
- 19:00Speaker 2: for that other level of, oh, you see the Manning
- 19:04Speaker 2: in his game.
- 19:06Speaker 8: I mean, he even can run. So he's a complete...
- 19:08Speaker 8: Is he an adopted Manning? Because he can run. No,
- 19:11Speaker 8: you're supposed to be able to do that.
- 19:12Speaker 2: If he didn't have the last name Manning, you wouldn't
- 19:14Speaker 2: really think... You wouldn't really... You know what I mean?
- 19:17Speaker 2: He doesn't really come across.
- 19:19Speaker 8: As a Manning, you know? Well, yeah, because he can move.
- 19:21Speaker 8: That's starters. But also, like, real quick, I know Fitty's
- 19:23Speaker 8: wrapping this up here. I know Vol's Fitty's bitter. But Manning,
- 19:27Speaker 8: deep pass into obvious double coverage interception. That was a
- 19:31Speaker 8: dumb play. Manning, two times running past the line of
- 19:34Speaker 8: scrimmage before he passed the ball. Like, it's just this
- 19:37Speaker 8: unaware stuff where it's like, do you have your uncle's brain?
- 19:41Speaker 2: How much of your uncle's brain do you have? Anyway.
- 19:44Speaker 2: When we come back here on the Mac and Bone
- 19:47Speaker 2: radio program, Pulse of Panther Nation, are we back? back
- 19:50Speaker 2: to miserable and angry? And are some fans really now
- 19:54Speaker 2: back out on Bryce? Your call's next.

- 20:03Speaker 12: I'm Will Pelagic, and this is your Charlotte FC Minute.
- 20:07Speaker 12: A rough night Saturday for Charlotte FC as they drop
- 20:09Speaker 12: a 1-0 decision to Chicago Fire, getting swept in the
- 20:12Speaker 12: season series by the second city side. Charlotte without three
- 20:16Speaker 12: top offensive players because of international duty, Edon Toklamati, Leal Abada,
- 20:20Speaker 12: and Rodolfo Oloko, and they lost center forward Archie Goodwin
- 20:24Speaker 12: to a toe injury. Charlotte FC head coach Dean Smith
- 20:26Speaker 12: said Charlotte's remaining players were not fast enough on the ball.
- 20:29Speaker 13: We didn't play at a good enough tempo without the ball.
- 20:33Speaker 13: We never got close enough to the ball in our
- 20:34Speaker 13: half to put pressure on them. I thought, you know,
- 20:37Speaker 13: Maxie and Pep, it wasn't their best game today. You know,
- 20:41Speaker 13: they could have been better today, you know, but we've
- 20:43Speaker 13: been thankful for them, you know, a lot this season
- 20:46Speaker 13: with the quality they've got. So, you know, that can happen.
- 20:50Speaker 12: Charlotte with a week off. They'll face FC Dallas a
- 20:52Speaker 12: week from Saturday. They'll be without Tim Reeve in that
- 20:55Speaker 12: contest as the U.S. International took two yellow cards late.
- 20:58Speaker 2: In the 1-0 loss. Will Pomacek, Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.

- 26:43Speaker 10: Yeah, just having to be, just cool your eyes, all
- 26:46Speaker 10: that stuff. But, again, that's not a, you know, I
- 26:49Speaker 10: don't know what next-gen stats, you know, does. But, you know,
- 26:54Speaker 10: there's a lot of things that go into that. You know,
- 26:56Speaker 10: it's getting through stuff. It's not just up front, you know,
- 26:59Speaker 10: making sure I'm not holding on to the ball too long,
- 27:00Speaker 10: getting through reads. We all play a role in that.
- 27:02Speaker 10: It's no finger pointing. It's no specific job, you know.
- 27:05Speaker 10: Once I watch the film, I'll look and see what
- 27:07Speaker 10: I can do better to help all that stuff out. And, yeah,
- 27:11Speaker 10: we'll grow from that.
- 27:13Speaker 8: Bryce Young, you could tell yesterday, Bryce, he did a
- 27:17Speaker 8: three-minute presser, by the way. Very short answers. The media realized, man,
- 27:21Speaker 8: this is not something he wants to do. The problem,
- 27:23Speaker 8: I think, was, Bone, he was asked so many questions about, hey,
- 27:26Speaker 8: your pass protection. Hey, you couldn't get the run game going.
- 27:31Speaker 8: There's no way Bryce will ever... Throw a teammate under
- 27:34Speaker 8: the bus. So, like, he was twisting himself into pretzels
- 27:38Speaker 8: trying to, like, defend the O-line.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Super excited pretzels. When it really wasn't defensible, you know?
- 27:44Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 27:45Speaker 2: I mean, when Bryce can't.
- 27:47Speaker 8: Use super excited in a press conference, Bone, I think
- 27:49Speaker 8: he doesn't want to be there. Yeah.
- 27:50Speaker 2: So I don't blame him, man. I don't blame him.
- 27:53Speaker 2: That would be a great alter ego on us, Bryce,
- 27:55Speaker 2: where he just shreds people. True serum, Bryce. That offensive
- 27:59Speaker 2: line was terrible, man. Seriously. It's amazing. I threw for 291.
- 28:02Speaker 2: Can you believe I did that, man? As bad as
- 28:04Speaker 2: that line was. That would be a twist. That would
- 28:06Speaker 2: definitely be a twist.
- 28:08Speaker 1: All right.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Something interesting. He says, thoughts and prayers to the family
- 28:11Speaker 2: of T-Mac. He went missing today.
- 28:13Speaker 8: Oh, that's right. He was out there. I mean, I
- 28:16Speaker 8: think to use J.C. Horn's phrase, I think Denzel Ward
- 28:21Speaker 8: had him in a car seat for much of the day.
- 28:23Speaker 8: I got to give credit to Denzel Ward, man. Now,
- 28:26Speaker 8: why didn't you move him into slot more and target
- 28:28Speaker 8: him in the slot where Ward doesn't go? That might
- 28:30Speaker 8: be one of a handful of things I don't understand
- 28:32Speaker 8: about the coaches. I also thought the coaches were too
- 28:35Speaker 8: slow to adjust bone to the fact that Bryce doesn't
- 28:38Speaker 8: have any time. And maybe the route should be quicker.
- 28:41Speaker 8: Maybe it should be quick hitting stuff. It took them
- 28:43Speaker 8: a while to realize we should move Bryce. And then
- 28:45Speaker 8: when they did move Bryce, we scored a touchdown on
- 28:47Speaker 8: that drive. Then they didn't move Bryce again after that.
- 28:50Speaker 8: I didn't understand that. So there's a lot of things
- 28:52Speaker 8: in addition to just inept offensive line play and the
- 28:56Speaker 8: offensive line injuries that we could talk about. Something I'm
- 28:59Speaker 8: surprised about right now, and we want to open up
- 29:01Speaker 8: the phones, it's the Pulse of Panther Nation. Usually the
- 29:04Speaker 8: Panthers lose a game, much less do the Cleveland Browns.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Usually, Bone, people are calling in when you tease it.
- 29:11Speaker 8: I am very surprised right now that people have not
- 29:14Speaker 8: called in and that people are not calling in wanting
- 29:17Speaker 8: to scream.
- 29:19Speaker 2: And I wonder what that means. I do.
- 29:21Speaker 8: I want to hear from you guys. Our callers got
- 29:23Speaker 8: injured yesterday. Is this not an enrager? Like, and I
- 29:28Speaker 8: don't want to complain about that bone. I'm just kind
- 29:30Speaker 8: of trying to get the pulse of Panther nation. Are
- 29:33Speaker 8: y'all not furious that we didn't find a way to
- 29:35Speaker 8: win that game? Do you give them some leeway because
- 29:38Speaker 8: of the injuries? I, I don't know. I wouldn't recognize
- 29:41Speaker 8: many of you if you gave them leeway. It's a
- 29:44Speaker 8: game that we all said going in, you have to
- 29:46Speaker 8: find a way to win this game. and we did not, man.
- 29:50Speaker 8: And you let Deshaun Watson, of all people, beat you.
- 29:53Speaker 8: I want your thoughts on this one. Is this one
- 29:56Speaker 8: that has you pissed off? Is it more worried than
- 29:59Speaker 8: pissed off? Does it have you worried about the state
- 30:01Speaker 8: of the offensive line? You have to be. 7-0-4, 5-7-0-9, 6-10,
- 30:05Speaker 8: Panther fans, how much does this tick you off, and
- 30:09Speaker 8: where do you put your anger?
- 30:11Speaker 2: And how much worse do the injuries make it?
- 30:15Speaker 10: Injuries.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Is it one of those ones where you say, oh, yeah,
- 30:17Speaker 2: the NFL, they lost on the road. It sucks. But
- 30:19Speaker 2: Detroit's coming in, big primetime game. But you said it.
- 30:24Speaker 2: Are the injuries almost worse than the loss? It's the combination.
- 30:29Speaker 8: It's one thing if you just lose the game and
- 30:31Speaker 8: you can go again, Bone, and you have Mike Jack,
- 30:33Speaker 8: you have J.C. Horn, you have Jalen Coker. Like, that
- 30:35Speaker 8: would be one. We don't know if we're not going
- 30:37Speaker 8: to have those guys. But, yeah, the feeling that, oh,
- 30:39Speaker 8: my God, we might have a skeleton crew for the
- 30:42Speaker 8: get-right game next week against Detroit.
- 30:44Speaker 2: That's scary, man. It really is.
- 30:47Speaker 8: And I think also the fact that this is repeating
- 30:50Speaker 8: the trend– of win one, lose one. Like, we'd like
- 30:53Speaker 8: to think this team is progressing. Well, you're not going
- 30:56Speaker 8: to show progress until you can stop the win one,
- 30:58Speaker 8: lose one thing. And that was another example, Bone, of
- 31:02Speaker 8: the lack of consistency from this damn football team.
- 31:06Speaker 2: Like, I just.
- 31:07Speaker 8: Again, Bryce did a great job keeping us in it.
- 31:10Speaker 8: The defense did a great job. Bryce fighting through his injury. Oh,
- 31:14Speaker 8: by the way, how will he be for next week?
- 31:17Speaker 8: Bryce fighting through not having, you know, a couple of
- 31:19Speaker 8: key receivers. Bryce not getting any protection or running game
- 31:22Speaker 8: to help him. Like I thought he fought through. I
- 31:24Speaker 8: thought the defense kept us in it. But that is
- 31:27Speaker 8: a game bone where like, I can't help to feel
- 31:29Speaker 8: like if you are who we think you are, You
- 31:33Speaker 8: find a way to win it, and all we're talking
- 31:35Speaker 8: about today is a lack of style points and a victory.
- 31:37Speaker 2: You know what I mean? It's hard not to think that.
- 31:39Speaker 2: The up-and-down nature is still concerning because at some point,
- 31:44Speaker 2: for them to move forward to be a better team,
- 31:47Speaker 2: and not just a team that wins the NFC South back,
- 31:50Speaker 2: because as we see right now, That doesn't really say
- 31:54Speaker 2: a whole lot about where you're going in the NFC
- 31:56Speaker 2: South because it's so bad. But in terms of competing
- 31:58Speaker 2: into the postseason with those other really good teams, the
- 32:02Speaker 2: win one, lose one thing. At some point, you can't
- 32:04Speaker 2: get anywhere doing that. We allow two weeks of happiness
- 32:07Speaker 2: in a row. Is that legal? Apparently it's illegal in
- 32:11Speaker 2: these parts.
- 32:12Speaker 8: 704 number says, we ain't that angry because we're still
- 32:14Speaker 8: tied for first in the division. But how long can
- 32:17Speaker 8: we keep? Well, we are in the NFC South. We
- 32:19Speaker 8: might be able to say that all season, Bo. With
- 32:22Speaker 8: a 6-10 record going into the final week, we might
- 32:24Speaker 8: still be in it. Thank God we play in the
- 32:26Speaker 8: damn South. All right, let's go to the phones. I
- 32:28Speaker 8: want to hear your thoughts on it. What does bother you?
- 32:30Speaker 8: This text just says, the fact that Bryce Young can't
- 32:32Speaker 8: get called out on this show is what pisses me off. Yeah,
- 32:36Speaker 8: the O-line was bad, but an elite quarterback... would have
- 32:39Speaker 8: overcame it he threw for 291 he dropped a bunch
- 32:43Speaker 8: of dimes in this game he did make mistakes but
- 32:46Speaker 8: it probably was related bone because the fact he was
- 32:48Speaker 8: thrown off kilter by the pressure throughout the day and
- 32:50Speaker 8: he had no running game to lean on as a.
- 32:52Speaker 2: Texter points out he leads the league in passing yards
- 32:56Speaker 2: and he's the most pressured quarterback in the league.
- 32:58Speaker 8: I'm with fitty don't make it about that man most
- 33:00Speaker 8: of y'all have not made it about that all right
- 33:01Speaker 8: let's run through some calls here real quick 704-5709-610 chris
- 33:06Speaker 8: wants to jump in chris how you feeling today.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Oh, hey, fellas.
- 33:10Speaker 4: How you doing, T-Bone?
- 33:11Speaker 2: What's happening?
- 33:12Speaker 4: Mac, how are you?
- 33:12Speaker 2: Good. What up?
- 33:14Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, I.
- 33:17Speaker 4: Watched the game. I took the whole afternoon and watched
- 33:19Speaker 4: the game. And, you know, I've been with Bryce even
- 33:23Speaker 4: through that big drought that he went through. But he's
- 33:28Speaker 4: not deserving of the big contract coming up after this year.
- 33:32Speaker 2: Just because of this game. That's your takeaway from yesterday's
- 33:34Speaker 2: game is Bryce's future contract.
- 33:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'd say they need to start maybe
- 33:39Speaker 4: thinking about, we don't need to give them a load
- 33:41Speaker 4: of money and try them another year.
- 33:43Speaker 2: What about the offensive line yesterday? Coker getting hurt, T-Mac
- 33:47Speaker 2: getting shut down, all the things that went against him yesterday,
- 33:50Speaker 2: and he still gave them the lead twice yesterday.
- 33:54Speaker 1: Yeah, but still, I don't think.
- 33:57Speaker 4: he's worth the money for trying another four or five
- 34:00Speaker 4: years with a boatload of money.
- 34:02Speaker 1: I don't.
- 34:02Speaker 8: Now, did you not think that, did you think the
- 34:04Speaker 8: same thing after his two great games to start the season?
- 34:08Speaker 4: No, those were good, but those were, again, it's, it's early,
- 34:12Speaker 4: you know, they don't play that extra preseason game. Um,
- 34:15Speaker 4: you know, some of the guys aren't really in great
- 34:17Speaker 4: shape nowadays cause they don't practice and hit and tackle
- 34:20Speaker 4: a lot.
- 34:21Speaker 10: I don't know.
- 34:22Speaker 2: I'm old school.
- 34:23Speaker 4: I just turned 61, but, um, No, you know, I
- 34:26Speaker 4: was riding around, and after the game, we went up
- 34:29Speaker 4: to have dinner over at Trio's with my mom, but
- 34:34Speaker 4: my mom likes him because he prays. So I said, okay, we'll.
- 34:37Speaker 2: Keep him there. All right, man, I appreciate the call.
- 34:41Speaker 2: All right, I'm with mom. I stand with mom, and
- 34:43Speaker 2: it's not just the praying. I pray he has a
- 34:45Speaker 2: better phone call. My God. All right, let's go to
- 34:48Speaker 2: the phone. How did I know that was– how did
- 34:50Speaker 2: I know? I knew that somebody out there– This guy
- 34:53Speaker 2: is getting obliterated on the text line. Oh, text line
- 34:56Speaker 2: going off on him. It's good to see y'all are
- 34:58Speaker 2: going off on him. I said he let us back
- 35:00Speaker 2: twice yesterday. He said, yeah.
- 35:01Speaker 8: Yeah, there's so much that he had to overcome yesterday
- 35:04Speaker 8: on his own football team.
- 35:05Speaker 2: The receiver's injuries. We had to overcome that call.
- 35:07Speaker 5: Oh, God.
- 35:07Speaker 8: All right, let's go to Weatherman Mark. Weatherman Mark, what
- 35:11Speaker 8: do you think about that.
- 35:12Speaker 2: Call right there, man?
- 35:14Speaker 1: Speaker 2 I have a bad game and the Bryce
- 35:19Speaker 1: young haters come out of the weed.
- 35:22Speaker 2: Speaker 0 I know. And it frustrated me.
- 35:25Speaker 1: And bite you like a serpent.
- 35:29Speaker 2: Mark though. I gotta be honest. We read your texts
- 35:31Speaker 2: that you sent to the station in the middle of
- 35:33Speaker 2: the game yesterday. You were doing a lot of, you
- 35:35Speaker 2: were freaking out on Dan Morgan. And now you're telling
- 35:37Speaker 2: us to be positive.
- 35:39Speaker 1: I know, man. I'm sorry. I've been kind of crazy, don't.
- 35:45Speaker 10: I?
- 35:46Speaker 1: My timbers are totally... I'm wore out this morning after
- 35:49Speaker 1: that game.
- 35:50Speaker 2: You sound like you're fired up. What happened to your timbers?
- 35:54Speaker 1: My timbers are cut down this morning, man. I don't know.
- 35:58Speaker 1: You know, in that game, man, the pinnacle of that
- 36:02Speaker 1: game was a really stupid decision right there at the end.
- 36:08Speaker 1: You can't even breathe. You know, it's kind of funny.
- 36:12Speaker 1: People can get away, but we breathe on the quarterback,
- 36:16Speaker 1: and we get called for a rough in the pass. Man,
- 36:19Speaker 1: we would have won that game. That was a pinnacle
- 36:21Speaker 1: part of the game.
- 36:22Speaker 2: Would have had a pick. Marky, I appreciate the call.
- 36:25Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. Any of your low timber issues,
- 36:27Speaker 2: I think Mac has a number for that. Hey, we'll
- 36:28Speaker 2: get you.
- 36:29Speaker 8: We'll get you some out. We'll get you some help there, man,
- 36:32Speaker 8: with the low T, low timber center. I don't know.
- 36:35Speaker 8: I mean, the roughing thing's frustrating. Two young corners made
- 36:38Speaker 8: a play. We could have had an interception. There's so
- 36:41Speaker 8: much more to be angry about that we did and
- 36:43Speaker 8: didn't do, Bone. But I'm glad to see Marcus settle down, Bone,
- 36:47Speaker 8: from that angry man he was.
- 36:49Speaker 2: On the text line mid-game. When he settles down, he
- 36:51Speaker 2: settles way down. All the way down. Talk about some
- 36:54Speaker 2: low RPMs. Let's go to PMAC, who is up next. PMAC,
- 36:57Speaker 2: what you thinking?
- 36:59Speaker 16: Oh guys come on these calls about people coming after
- 37:03Speaker 16: Bryce Young is absolutely ridiculous you don't have 940 yards
- 37:06Speaker 16: in the season already and cannot be a player that
- 37:14Speaker 16: can play and be competent. That is absolutely ridiculous. What
- 37:18Speaker 16: we should be mad at is two things. One, our
- 37:20Speaker 16: team or our organization has put so much money on
- 37:23Speaker 16: the defensive side of the ball and the offensive line,
- 37:25Speaker 16: and neither of them can show up consistently to help
- 37:28Speaker 16: us win. That's the problem. We're drafting terribly. We don't
- 37:32Speaker 16: have any players from the last few drafts that we
- 37:35Speaker 16: can count on. And then on top of that, well,
- 37:38Speaker 16: I say that loosely, but on top of that, this
- 37:40Speaker 16: is what really angers me. This is what really angers me,
- 37:44Speaker 16: is we cannot go in week in, week out with
- 37:46Speaker 16: our guys and your guys and see who's best because
- 37:50Speaker 16: of injuries. It is unreal how many injuries we have
- 37:54Speaker 16: to face week in and week out.
- 37:55Speaker 2: It's frustrating. It's ridiculous. It's frustrating.
- 37:57Speaker 8: Hey, I appreciate the call, man. It's like us and
- 37:59Speaker 8: the Niners have a lot of injuries. Is it that
- 38:02Speaker 8: damn power station? The power station theory coming back? I mean,
- 38:05Speaker 8: they lost Trent Williams and Mike Evans yesterday. But it
- 38:08Speaker 8: is right. We are right up there. A fan said earlier,
- 38:10Speaker 8: the Niners overcome it way better than we do. I
- 38:13Speaker 8: don't think we're at the point in the organizational development, Bone,
- 38:16Speaker 8: that they are in terms of depth. But Dan Morgan
- 38:19Speaker 8: has improved the depth. Like, imagine, Bone, if we didn't
- 38:22Speaker 8: draft Freeling. Imagine, like, although I guess I don't know
- 38:25Speaker 8: if this works. Imagine if we didn't sign Walker. Stone
- 38:28Speaker 8: Forsythe would be playing, like, I guess I'll say it
- 38:35Speaker 8: this way, though. Who could lose both starting offensive tackles
- 38:37Speaker 8: and not take a serious hit, though?
- 38:38Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 38:39Speaker 8: You could only do so much trying to replace those guys.
- 38:43Speaker 8: This texter says, I'm with this caller. And you replaced
- 38:46Speaker 8: the center also this year, too.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Don't forget.
- 38:48Speaker 8: Yeah, and Fortner had a rough game yesterday as well.
- 38:51Speaker 8: This texter says, I'm with that caller. This Freeling draft
- 38:54Speaker 8: pick looks like a bust. That that's way harsh. He's
- 38:58Speaker 8: being thrown out there, bone. The book on him was
- 39:00Speaker 8: there was a rawness to him. They didn't want to
- 39:03Speaker 8: play him right away like this.
- 39:04Speaker 2: He's not even playing the side. He's going to play
- 39:06Speaker 2: full time yet.
- 39:07Speaker 8: That's another part of it, too, is he switched over
- 39:09Speaker 8: from where he had played at the end of his
- 39:10Speaker 8: college career. This dude says that Bryce Hader texter, I
- 39:15Speaker 8: would literally punch his lights out right now.
- 39:20Speaker 2: Bryce Hader, Chris, you want to set up a boxing
- 39:23Speaker 2: match for charity? Want to set that up? All right,
- 39:26Speaker 2: we come back. It is going to be Sounds of
- 39:28Speaker 2: the Panthers. Bryce and Canales react to the loss. Coker
- 39:33Speaker 2: on his latest injury. The latest on his injury. And
- 39:36Speaker 2: Deshaun now loves the Cleveland fans. Boy, did that take
- 39:41Speaker 2: a turn. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 40:08Speaker 8: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. We've got to give you some
- 40:11Speaker 8: sounds of the Panthers and the Browns. We have to,
- 40:16Speaker 8: and by the way, we do have a Browns fan,
- 40:18Speaker 8: Browns slash Panther fan, that wanted us to win the game.
- 40:22Speaker 8: And he says the worst thing happened is you made
- 40:24Speaker 8: Watson look like a number one quarterback. Speaking of that,
- 40:28Speaker 8: maybe we should just start with that clip because this
- 40:31Speaker 8: annoys me, Bo. This annoys me about as much as
- 40:34Speaker 8: Mark Schlereth talking about Bryce Young annoys me. Even if
- 40:37Speaker 8: I think he's right, he does it in such an annoying,
- 40:40Speaker 8: arrogant way.
- 40:41Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a no at all. It drives me.
- 40:43Speaker 10: Crazy.
- 40:43Speaker 2: There's a no at all tone. I would still love
- 40:46Speaker 2: to try his chili at some point.
- 40:50Speaker 8: I think we got to let Finney loose on Stink
- 40:53Speaker 8: Schlereth in the last hour of the show. He is
- 40:56Speaker 8: fit to be tied. No pun intended, but I guess
- 40:59Speaker 8: it was intended.
- 41:00Speaker 2: All right.
- 41:01Speaker 8: But let's get to some other stuff here because, yes,
- 41:03Speaker 8: the fact that Deshaun Watson and Cleveland now love each
- 41:05Speaker 8: other and we made that happen annoys the crap out
- 41:09Speaker 8: of me. And they were booing him on, like you said, Bone,
- 41:11Speaker 8: the game-winning drive. And we still let the dude beat us.
- 41:15Speaker 8: This is Deshaun Watson. We're not even sure the fans
- 41:18Speaker 8: wanted to win.
- 41:18Speaker 2: That game with Watson.
- 41:19Speaker 8: Yeah, I think they might have rather just had him
- 41:21Speaker 8: throw an interception so they could just have this cathartic
- 41:24Speaker 8: anger experience collectively.
- 41:26Speaker 2: Seriously, did they want to be happy? How about the
- 41:28Speaker 2: crowd rising to their feet when Shador came in for
- 41:30Speaker 2: one point?
- 41:31Speaker 8: Oh, my God, cheering in like Joe Montana coming in
- 41:33Speaker 8: today in a football game. Are you kidding me? Anyway,
- 41:36Speaker 8: Deshaun comes back in there booing. And the next play,
- 41:40Speaker 8: he throws a touchdown that beats us.
- 41:42Speaker 2: And we lost to that.
- 41:43Speaker 8: We let that happen, y'all. But anyway, here's Deshaun with
- 41:46Speaker 8: Jen Hale on Fox. He now loves Cleveland.
- 41:50Speaker 2: It's annoying.
- 41:51Speaker 14: This is the next chapter in your comeback story.
- 41:54Speaker 13: After fans here cheered an injury, booed you in the preseason,
- 41:58Speaker 13: they were showering you with love after that touchdown, what
- 42:01Speaker 13: would you want to say to them today?
- 42:02Speaker 6: Man, I love them.
- 42:03Speaker 10: I love Cleveland.
- 42:04Speaker 6: This is awesome.
- 42:05Speaker 17: I know we've been through some ups and downs. Trust me, I'll–
- 42:08Speaker 17: I wish there were better days, but if we look
- 42:11Speaker 17: for it and we build off this win, come back
- 42:14Speaker 17: Thursday night, get another big one, we can make something
- 42:16Speaker 17: special for this city. And that's what it's all about.
- 42:19Speaker 17: You know, the past is the past. I'm looking forward.
- 42:22Speaker 17: I'm present in the moment right now, and I enjoy today.
- 42:25Speaker 18: You know, I got to make better.
- 42:26Speaker 17: They want to see great performance, and that's why we
- 42:29Speaker 17: got to give it to them. And that's why they,
- 42:30Speaker 17: you know, spend the money to come watch us play,
- 42:32Speaker 17: give them something to inspire the city for.
- 42:34Speaker 10: So Cleveland, let's go. Go Browns.
- 42:37Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
- 42:37Speaker 2: What a heartwarming tale. He's doing PR. What a movie
- 42:40Speaker 2: on ID Channel.
- 42:41Speaker 8: He's doing PR for the damn Chamber of Commerce in
- 42:45Speaker 8: Cleveland now.
- 42:46Speaker 2: Come on, Panthers. My God. Oh, geez. All right.
- 42:51Speaker 8: Let's continue with some more sounds. Like Bobby Okereke, this
- 42:54Speaker 8: was some of the question and answer session.
- 42:57Speaker 2: He was the one bone.
- 42:58Speaker 8: It looked like his shoulder made contact with Watson's face
- 43:03Speaker 8: mask area on, and he got the roughing. Jalen Phillips
- 43:07Speaker 8: might have also tapped him with his hand, but that's
- 43:09Speaker 8: all it takes, unfortunately, in 2026.
- 43:12Speaker 2: Listen to Okereke talk about it. In real time, I
- 43:14Speaker 2: thought I was clean.
- 43:16Speaker 18: And then obviously when I saw the flag, just.
- 43:20Speaker 10: Unfortunate call for the team.
- 43:21Speaker 18: Just got to be smart in that situation.
- 43:23Speaker 6: Do you think that Sean sold almost with a flop?
- 43:28Speaker 2: Can't really say.
- 43:29Speaker 18: Obviously, you know, I was focusing on making sure my
- 43:31Speaker 18: momentum wasn't carrying through to hit him in the head
- 43:34Speaker 18: or neck area. But I just got to be smart
- 43:37Speaker 18: in that situation and not leave it up to the refs.
- 43:38Speaker 2: Did your hands get him up near the helmet or?
- 43:43Speaker 18: Yeah, I got to see the instant replay, obviously, and
- 43:45Speaker 18: watch the film. But I just got to go smarter,
- 43:47Speaker 18: go lower on him, just so I don't give the
- 43:49Speaker 18: ref the opportunity to make that call.
- 43:51Speaker 8: And that's the answers you would expect from him, man,
- 43:53Speaker 8: veteran guy. You know what I mean? Accountable dude. But
- 43:56Speaker 8: I'm sure it's frustrating to them, Bone, to your point
- 43:59Speaker 8: from earlier. Like, it ain't easy to stop all that.
- 44:02Speaker 8: I mean, you're trying to get out there. This dude's
- 44:03Speaker 8: been hurting you out of the pocket all day. I
- 44:06Speaker 8: hate the position they're in, but I can't bitch about
- 44:09Speaker 8: that call, man.
- 44:09Speaker 2: That's the game. Texter called him earlier today, Denzel Watson,
- 44:13Speaker 2: for his acting abilities. Ha, ha, ha.
- 44:15Speaker 8: Oh, he definitely– I know Bobby didn't want to say
- 44:17Speaker 8: he sold that call, but he went straight down like
- 44:20Speaker 8: damn Neymar on a soccer field, man.
- 44:22Speaker 2: My God. Surprised he didn't make the stretcher come out.
- 44:25Speaker 2: I mean, he had to leave the game. He should
- 44:26Speaker 2: have made the stretcher come out and get him soccer style.
- 44:27Speaker 2: Get that magic spray they put on you. Oh, my God.
- 44:30Speaker 2: With the Sean, though, I don't know. It's not– Let's
- 44:33Speaker 2: be careful with this stuff here. They couldn't get anybody
- 44:35Speaker 2: comfortable enough to go near him to do that, I
- 44:36Speaker 2: don't think. Anyway, Texter says, you guys also allowed Shador
- 44:41Speaker 2: Sanders to have the highest completion percentage in the league.
- 44:44Speaker 2: That's right.
- 44:45Speaker 8: Hit that little pass for no yards, man. 100%. Let's
- 44:49Speaker 8: go to.
- 44:49Speaker 2: Deion said after the game, that's how I raised my son.
- 44:53Speaker 6: 100%.
- 44:53Speaker 2: Perfect. Will Deion take credit for... Will Deion try to
- 44:56Speaker 2: get Shador credit for that win yesterday? All right, let's
- 45:00Speaker 2: go to.
- 45:02Speaker 8: Jalen Coker because he was asked about, this is his
- 45:05Speaker 8: second injury he's dealing with. Had the ankle injury going in,
- 45:08Speaker 8: was able to play, but then second half, he's out
- 45:12Speaker 8: of the second half entirely because of a quad injury.
- 45:15Speaker 2: This is the conversation about it.
- 45:17Speaker 18: I mean, I just want to be out there.
- 45:20Speaker 7: You know, injury prevention, whatever, being hurt isn't fun.
- 45:24Speaker 18: And I want to be out there to help, you know,
- 45:26Speaker 18: the team win, so.
- 45:29Speaker 2: Any sense of how serious it is?
- 45:33Speaker 18: No, I don't have any idea. Not bad.
- 45:36Speaker 2: Not like anything crazy.
- 45:38Speaker 4: But yeah.
- 45:40Speaker 8: All right, so does not bad mean you can play
- 45:42Speaker 8: against the Lions, or does not bad mean, yeah, we'll
- 45:45Speaker 8: sit you, and then after the bye week, you'll be good?
- 45:47Speaker 2: They're going to need him out there. That's going to
- 45:50Speaker 2: be a game where you know the Lions are going
- 45:52Speaker 2: to score some points against the Panthers' defense. You're going
- 45:55Speaker 2: to need, I'm not saying it'll be as bad as
- 45:57Speaker 2: Chicago for the defense, but you're going to need to
- 46:00Speaker 2: get to a certain number there. And Coker is going
- 46:03Speaker 2: to be a big part of that. And, you know,
- 46:05Speaker 2: we have to see TMAC get it going here. So
- 46:08Speaker 2: they need all the offensive parts in sync for this
- 46:11Speaker 2: Lions game. That includes Coker. 100 percent. 100 percent.
- 46:14Speaker 8: Then you worry about our corners against their receivers because
- 46:18Speaker 8: you've got injuries to horn. It sounds like the most
- 46:20Speaker 8: serious one. And you got Mike Jack, too. You got
- 46:23Speaker 8: Gibbs in the pass game and the run game. This
- 46:25Speaker 8: is a problem. Where you could use Devin Lloyd back
- 46:28Speaker 8: with Gibbs on the field. So these injuries, we're going
- 46:30Speaker 8: to be sweating them this week. By the way, if
- 46:32Speaker 8: you want me to complain about the ref, that was
- 46:34Speaker 8: not pass interference on Mike Jack. He had the hand
- 46:36Speaker 8: on the hip for like a millisecond. Took it off immediately,
- 46:39Speaker 8: I think to grab himself when he hurt himself. Took
- 46:41Speaker 8: the other hand and batted the pass down. That was garbage, man.
- 46:44Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 46:45Speaker 8: I hated that call, and I hated the fact that
- 46:47Speaker 8: he hurt his groin on that play.
- 46:49Speaker 2: Mike Jack made a play on the ball while his
- 46:51Speaker 2: hand was on. Made a play on three balls.
