Mac & Bone Hour 4: Fixing the Panthers · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:13
  Speaker 1: He's not giving the play a chance because he's too
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: quick with his drop. He's too quick off of it
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and he's missing opportunities. And again, I'm not saying it
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: happens every time because he's making a lot of plays.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: But when he misses things like this, a lot of
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: it is because of the footwork and not being clean
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: with his footwork and getting back and getting set and
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: timing it up with his routes. So he can make
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: big plays down the field. So just something to pay
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: attention to with Bryce Young. It's been a theme throughout
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: his career. I feel like at times he's gotten better.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: But now I see him back to kind of the short,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: hoppy drops. And it's messing up his ability to set
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: his feet and throw. And it's messing up the way
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that things work around him to allow the offense, the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: offensive line, the pocket to work in his favor.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: That is Kurt Warner.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: We're talking about what needs to be changed in order
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: for the Panthers to get that mojo back. Kurt Warner
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: would like to see Bryce Young change some things there.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: That's from Kurt Warner's study ball video series. And we
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: do know, Bone, that when Bryce Young has struggled in
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: the past, footwork has been a thing.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Um, it is, it has been a, something that has
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: been a problem.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: And it sounds like Kurt thinks that under the pressure
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: he's been under lately, he is reverting back to some
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: of those habits. And I play that because not to
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: invigorate the Bryce shouters, doubters, and haters on the text line,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: although I'm sure it could do that. But I, I,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: I say that I play that bone to give us
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: some context on, yeah, Bryce is not handling it well
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: right now. I believe the root cause is the old
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: lines performance. But Bryce Young is not handling it necessarily
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: the way he did, Bone, I would say in the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: first five games even when he was under pressure.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: There has to be a correlation of the pressure gets
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: to him. It messes with him mentally. He's not seeing
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: the field as well. So then, Mac, the fundamentals are
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: going away. The footwork's going away because he's starting to feel,
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: he's starting to see things. When he's confident and he
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: trusts the offensive line, that's when we're getting those big-time
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Bryce performances. When the offensive line breaks down to the
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: point it is, when it's starting to go a negative way,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: I think Bryce starts to rush it a little bit,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: and that's when the footwork really starts to go away.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: So I understand what he's saying.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: It is weird, though, because for the first five games,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: he was the most pressured quarterback, but he also was
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: leading the league in yards per game. He was overcoming it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Now the pressure's getting there quicker in the last two games.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: It's getting there with four-man rushes.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: A lot, three-man rushes. They had a sack on a
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: three-man rush Thursday night, and Tampa had one, too. So
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: it's like guys are back in coverage.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Does the footwork get out of whack if his knee's
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: not feeling right also? Well, that's another thing, too. He
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: doesn't seem to be able to escape as freely.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: He gets out of there quickly. He's fine. Whereas in
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the past, he made a play.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I went backbone and watched the game because I hate myself,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: but I went back and I watched the game on
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Sunday night.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Cause I'm like, that was so matter of fact, let.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Me see good, bad, ugly. And I watched that dry bone,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: the drive in.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: The second half. I mean the drive.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: And he made some plays there, got it out quick
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: over the middle, set guys up with yards.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: You have to catch. He made a play where he
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: actually finally.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Got out, escaped the pocket to the right quickly and
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: made a play that um, to Darren Waller.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: And it's like, he's got to hit that eject button quicker.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: If you're not as quick because of your knee, you
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: might have to hit it a little quicker and get
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: the heck out of there. I don't know, man, we're
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: all just spit balling, but we all have the same interest.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: We want are Panthers.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: To try to win this very winnable division, still leading
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: by a half game. But they've got to turn so
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: much around. Their first move, obviously, Bone, was the Avero move.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: And Todd Walsh has a pretty good D coordinator resume,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: but he's not Doug Henning.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: He's not David Copperfield. Those are the only magicians I know.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: David Blaine.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: That's all I got. He can't work magic.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: You got your guy Penn and Teller.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Penn and Teller. There you go. Which one? He was
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the quiet one? That is Teller, I think. Yeah, you're
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: not him. The little guy? You're Penn. I'm Teller. What
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: do you think? Mac Weatherman, Mark, again. He got ideas
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: or is he just complaining? Upset with us. Oh, no.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: We are part of the Bryce hating problem. Don't we
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: get called Bryce Homers like 50 times a day?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: So what in the world is Mark listening to?
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: What's it not like?
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: All we're doing is trying to figure out what's gone
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: wrong here. We play Kurt Warner audio. Where exactly do
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: we hate on Bryce when we said his confidence is
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: low because the offensive line has been terrible and his
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: mechanics are out of whack and maybe his knee has
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: something to do with that. Where is that hating on Bryce?
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: We're trying to figure out why he has not performed
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: as well the last couple of games. We can't say
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: that he's performed great the last couple of games because
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: he hasn't.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think you can put it just 100%
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: on the O-line. He hasn't been handling the pressure well.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Listen to what Mark says on this text. Weatherman Mark says,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: you guys are full of bleep. You keep adding to
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: the freaking Bryce hating problem. Bryce is not the freaking problem.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Get over it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: And Kurt Warner is a dumbass. You guys keep feeding
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: this crap.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Every show, that Bryce is the whole problem, and this
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: is BS, dude. We had a whole argument on Friday because— There's.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Something dumb involved here, and it's not us. First of all, Kurt.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Warner's a football dumbass, Mark. What does that make the
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: rest of us? Secondly, you're right, Bone. On Friday— All
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the Bryce bashers were circling us like buzzards trying to
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: tell us we're defending Bryce too much. We, we won't
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: give him any blame. We're trying to be fair about it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Clearly he's not handling it the best, but the root cause,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: the majority of the blame is the O-line. Why does
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: that have to cause a grown man to throw a
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: hissy fit?
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: I don't get it. Weatherman Mark is all over the place.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: This is why I struggle with communication with Mark, because
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: he's either like really positive, like way on one side,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: or he's way negative. And I never know. Whatever answer
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: I give him, it's not the right answer. So I've
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: decided I don't answer that many times.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Big Cat Dan says the book since last season is
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: to keep Bryce in the pocket. It needs to scheme
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: him out when defenses are trying to do that. Yeah,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I almost feel like, Bo, we talked about this on Friday,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: somehow still got called Bryce Homer's an apologist. But I said,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I think you can see he gets jittery, right?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: He's feeling pressure before it's there on some of these plays.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: It's in his head. How can it not be? This happens.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Tom Brady, I've seen, I saw the Panthers do it
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: to Tom Brady one time at the state. Like, there
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: are games where when he's under siege, Mahomes in a
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: And it just gets in their head.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's that image of Aaron Rodgers back with
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: his helmet on sideways. Bryce hasn't had that happen yet.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: So Big Cat Dan, I said this Friday too, I
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: like the idea of booting him out more. Just moving
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: the pocket and getting him outside. What are some things?
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: I'd like to lean more on the run game, Bone.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: I think if you can get the run game going,
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: and I think Chuba's up for it.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: He is a battler.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I think if we can get this run game going
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: early in games... And then be in second and medium.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Be in third and short. And not be in third
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: and longs. You're in third and long with this offensive line.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: You are screwed, man. But I think there's something there
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: in the run game.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: If the offensive line was playing at a higher level,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: I swear to you. I would probably bring up Jonathan
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Taylor more often than we brought him up here. Just
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: to go full, not Buccaneers run game, Mac, like they're doing,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: but a Chuba-Taylor combo, I wouldn't necessarily hate that. But
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: the offensive line is playing so poor now that I
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: would hate for us to make a trade for someone
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: like that and really add to the run game. And
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: then the offensive line just doesn't allow us to get
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: the most out of that. It's intriguing to me. I'm
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: not saying they would do that, but it certainly intrigues
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: me to some degree.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, are there other positions we would– I mean,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: O-line would be a nice one to make a trade for.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I know people keep bringing up Powers Johnson. He's had
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: a rough year in his third year, but he was
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: a day-two draft pick as an interior lineman out there
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: with the Raiders now.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking smaller.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking get me Brooks back and just use him
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: in the pass game. Run screens to alleviate the pressure.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Give Bryce a quick option out in space in Jonathan Brooks.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: I'm a little less lofty, but I get what you're
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: saying because you do have to get, you have to
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: lean more.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: On the run game. You have to. If they can't
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: run the football and you become, you.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Know, past-centric, these teams are going to tee off on
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Bryce Eman. Powers Johnson sounds like a Phitty alias.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Panther Phit, how the hell can Canales and company turn
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: this thing around, Phit?
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: What are you thinking?
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, pray might be the first thing they got.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: To start doing.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: Because, Mac, like, I came in on Friday, and I
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: was in a really good spot coming off the loss
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: to Green Bay. And then we did the show Friday,
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: did the show yesterday, and maybe because I worked with Flounder, who,
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: I mean, just gave me nothing positive to think about
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: with my football team, it feels very bleak. Like, I
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: don't know if their issues are correctable. And that's a
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: real sad place to be.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: As a fan.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Boom, Panther Fitty. We lost Panther Fitty here, man. Tar
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Heel Fitty's on the ropes after last night.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm texting back. Panther City's on the canvas.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Sorry, I'm distracted. I'm texting back Ice-T right now about
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: the election.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, make sure you correspond with him. I got Petey
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Pablo texting me.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: I don't think this is real Ice-T from SVU. Oh, man.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: All right. Sorry, go ahead. Fitty, we have lost you, man.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: This is sad. There's got to be, you got nothing.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: You got nothing to even try, Fitty. Like to me,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: give me Sam Hecht at center.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Give me Brady Christensen at one of the tackle spots
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: and get me Fortner and Rasheed Walker on the pine.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Like try, you got to go down swinging.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: That's the thing, right?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: You've got to go down and swing it.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: It's no guarantee to produce great results, but you've got
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: to try things, don't you?
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: You made a coordinator change.
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: That signals that there's a sense of urgency, that there's
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: pressure here. Like Dave Canales is feeling the pressure. You
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: don't see those types of moves unless you're not.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: Can he push?
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: We're going to learn a lot about Dave Canales over
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: the final two months of the regular season.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: Can he push the right buttons?
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: To get this thing fixed because Mac, this is like,
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: this is why you gave up play calling duties is
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: to be able to manage your football team better on
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: a day-to-day basis. You don't have to worry about putting
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: together a game plan. He was willing to make a
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: coordinator change that probably should have been made, but didn't
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: have to be made at the point in the season.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: He went ahead and made it hopefully this weekend while
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: he was, you know, locked up in the building, which
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: I'm glad to hear that they found something that they
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: think they can work on this week in practice and,
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: and they could get this thing turned around on Sunday.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: But you got nothing. But you got nothing. Finney said, Coach,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: good luck. I got nothing for you.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Well, I have a serious idea, Mac. You know the
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: schoolyard move, and we would see it in the Little
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Rascals when someone gets down in the schoolyard and they
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: push someone over? Like the other guy doesn't know the
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: person's down there on all fours? Can we try that
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: with the offensive line at some point? Like maybe Stone Forsythe, Mac,
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: sneaks by, and then Rasheed Walker pushes the guy over.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: We all hands on deck here, my friend. Thomas says,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I'm desperate, boys. I put Stone Forsythe in at one
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: of the tackle spots. I went Brady Christensen, but there's
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: no dumb answers. When it comes to the O-line right now,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: it is that bad that I feel like trying anything
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: is worth considering. Panther Bo says he's with Finney. This
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: team has killed his Panther ego right now. John says,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Mack on here asking, like, Canales got about 15 buttons
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: to push. When you got this O-line... When you got
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: that cornerback injury situation, maybe you're just screwed.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: But if he thought they were screwed, would they have,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: would they have fired a zero of arrow?
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: But zero of arrow is, is, is also probably something
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: that he can point to and say, I'm trying.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Right? I'm feeling heat, but I am trying.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Someone thinks that Panther Phinney is sad because this would
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: be where he goes back to the Cowboys, but they're
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: worse than the Panthers are right now.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Man's got no options, baby.
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: We're not doing that, Mac. I may be down and
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: I may be out. I'm still picking them to win
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: on Friday. They're still going to beat the Broncos.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: There's our guy.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Have you ever considered maybe going the other way?
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: This is as close as I've ever been to picking
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: the opponent.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe shake it up. Maybe we all pick against him.
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: The first time is not going to be Sean Payton
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: and the team that beat us in Super Bowl.
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: 50, though.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Maybe the following week. Of all times for that bum.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: for that punchable face having bum to come in here.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: I'm catching some flack.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Here, Bo.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: People are very, I can tell it's hurting you. People
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: are very triggered by me suggesting Brooks in the passing
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: game could be part of the solution. I've been told
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: he is done. I've been told it's over for Brooks.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Give it up, Mac. This dude said Mac clinging to
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Jonathan Brooks is the saddest thing I've heard yet. How
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: do you feel.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: About that, Bo?
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: We're about one injury away from Brooks is done.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Brooks is done. But I was like, let me get
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: in the joke first.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's hard because we still haven't seen him.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: But at some point, I mean, it's just never going
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: to be what it is. But I'm not ready to
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: say no yet. Let's see him get one more run here. Yeah,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: what do we got to lose? And see if he
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: gets sustained success. I mean, yeah, we're a... We're a
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: city that saw Thomas Davis come back from the football
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: dead and have a near Hall of Fame career. So
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: let's just see what he has, not give up on
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: the guy. It's getting close, Matt, to the point of,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: all right, well, what is he? But we haven't even
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: seen him really get going yet to evaluate him just
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: as a player in general. I mean, his body keeps
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: betraying him. We don't even know what he can do still.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Like when Dave Canales says that he is, could be active,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: the 21-day window could be activated here.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: He said it about XL too. Notice I'm not mentioned
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: in XL.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Like I don't even know Bone with, because of the,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: the limits on the amount of guys they can bring
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: back from IR. I'm not even sure it's prudent. Cause
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: you know, Mike, Jack and Horn are going to be
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: used and they're starting to get to the bottom of it.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: I would bring back Brooks before XL. I, and I'm
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: not even talking about, I'm not acting like he's got
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: to play like he's Franco Harris and grind the ball
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: up the gut.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I'm just talking about when you're trying to Bone.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Deal with pressure and get the ball out quick to
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: weapons and Maybe getting him in space.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: If we're desperate, I don't understand why that's not worth
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: a try.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I'm not on here guaranteeing you he's going to beat
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: a Cal Ripken of football. He's going to beat a J.J.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Jansen of running backs. I'm just saying it's worth a
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: try to use him in that way. Yeah, like you're saying,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: what do you have to lose? Finney, do you have
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: a friend named Bears Brian Finney? Not that I'm aware of.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Why? He sent in a text that you called him
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: last night on the way back from Chapel Hill asking
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: if there's any room on the Bears bandwagon.
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: Oh!
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: We're not doing this. Panther Finney!
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I don't want to believe it, but did you make it?
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: I hate the Bears.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Let me see your phone, Finney.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Finney's turning over his phone like it's like Bone's an
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: investigator here or something.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Are you looking for Bears Brian in the calls?
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: You called a man named Brian at 11.04 p.m. last night.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, fitty, damn. That's not true.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Don't you go lying about me.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: This texter says, Mac, are y'all not getting text about
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: how Todd Walsh is going to change everything on the
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: defense and lead this team to a division title? I
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: thought the Avero haters would be fired up. Something interesting
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: has happened here, Bo. People have not exactly been filled
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: with all this confidence because Averro's gone.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: I think they realize that Todd Walsh ran the defensive line.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: That's also been part of these run games. It is
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: kind of true.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: I would have thought y'all were so down on Averro
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: that you thought any human being, much less a guy
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: like Todd Walsh, who's had three top 10 defenses as
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: a coordinator in this league, It really hasn't been like, oh,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Todd Walsh is going to run a 4-3.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Todd Walsh is going to do this and that. There
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: hasn't been a lot of that.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Well, I think some of the fans thought, oh, maybe
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Sean McDermott comes in for the year. There were some
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: people that really thought that. So I tried to explain
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: to people, Shaquille Bartle, that just because you fire the
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: coach doesn't mean that schematically everything's going to change. Players
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: aren't changing. Not within the season. So, yes, if you fire–
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: there's not a– They were saying the other day, Matt,
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: there's actually not a ton of coordinators in the league.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: They're actually fired during the seasons, less than you think,
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: because it doesn't really ultimately change a whole lot to
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: do it within the season.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: No, there's only one I can think of. Baltimore made
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: an OC change, went to Cam Cameron, they went to
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. But that's off the top of my head.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: But like OC or DC change and you go.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Make a run? Like, you know what I mean?
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I don't feel like it's a normal thing. Because it
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: goes back to what the goal... Well, I don't think
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: it was... I was giving Junior credit for what Senior said.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: I think it goes back to what Golik Senior said
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: on Friday. Says you can change philosophy, but you can't
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: change the scheme in the middle of the season like that.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: There's only so much you can really change. Like, people
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: want to go to a 4-3, but... A, I don't
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: think we're going to see that. Although I have to
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: be honest with you, we do have three starting caliber
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: linebackers in a 4-4-4-3. Tyrell Dodson's not playing. And to me,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: he's a starting caliber linebacker. Another thing I would say, Two-Bone,
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: your base defense is like the Panthers run base about 30%
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: of the time. So like when we get caught up
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: in 3-4-4-3, it really only applies to 30%.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Of the plays.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Mac, I have some startling stats on D.C. changes midseason.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Ready for this?
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Since 2010, teams that fired their D.C. midseason compiled a
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: record of 15 and 37 with their replacement coordinators. Only
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: two teams in that time period have a 500 record
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: when firing their D.C. midseason, the 2015 Saints and the
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: 2020 Jets. So that's not boding well for us right there. No,
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: it's not.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: History is not in our corner. Bone, I got good
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: news for you. Weatherman Mark is back together with you.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Weatherman Mark says, and I can't do the impression that
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Willie could do so well, but he says, I agree
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: with Bone. We should go after Jonathan Taylor, Hubbard, and
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Taylor in the backfield would be awesome.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: I would like off this roller coaster, please.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: That's going to be a pricey trade, though. That's going
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: to be a big draft collab. No, I don't think
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: that will be.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: It's very intriguing of stylistically how the offense would. And
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, you know, the less pressure
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: on Bryce, both– literally from the offensive line and just
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: having to carry it would be a big deal. When
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: we come back, Stro Show. Ashley Strohlein joins us next.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: I wanna bathe in your light, babe.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: All day, all night, babe. Make me wanna say, hey. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> All right, let's do it. That's Stroh's music, everybody.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Ashley Strohlein joining us right now for The Stroh Show, everybody.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I'm being told, Bone, The Stroh Show is on the
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: road this week at Mama Stroh's abode in the great
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: state or commonwealth, I should say, of Virginia.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: The Stroh Zone. She is Ashley Strohlein. Stroh, what's going on?
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: Good morning, guys. How are you?
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: What's happening?
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Is the squirrel gravy on the stove right now, Stro?
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: I told City, I said, actually, we are going to
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: have biscuits and gravy, but, you know, Mama Stro doesn't
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: do squirrel gravy. It's pork chop gravy. So can you
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: hear the pork chops frying if I put this on? Anyways,
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: they got the pork chops.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, I hear it. Live frying.
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: And then you take the pork chop grease and put
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: the gravy in there, and that's how you get the
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: flavor of the gravy.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm getting hungry.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: I'm getting hungry. If we hear a squirrel running around,
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: we're going to have to stop the.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Show, though.
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: You know, actually, the way mom treats the animals here,
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: just to give you, like, she puts... we don't, you know,
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: we have like a, I'll send you guys some pictures
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: and videos when we get off of the phone, but
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: like we have like a whole like family of deer
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: that come down that she puts corn out for that just,
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: that just live on the property. She does the same
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: for the squirrels and, and in a very sweet, sincere way,
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: not because any of, any of those are going to
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: be something that we're eating later. They just live here
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: and enjoy everything. So let me be clear before.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Not in an Excel type of way.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I got you.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: What was, before we get to our somewhat depressing Charlotte
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: sports developments here, Stro, I'd like to ask when you
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: were growing up, what was your favorite like Southern dish
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: that mama Stro made?
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: Hmm.
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: Oh, man, that's good. I mean, when I come home,
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: I do always ask for biscuits and gravy because it's
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: just not the same as anything else. But, I mean,
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: there's a great peach cobbler that mom makes. Man, let's,
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: you know, let's ask mom, what do you think my
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: favorite dish you made was when I was growing up?
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: Throw that. I put her on the spot.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh. Now she's nervous.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: We're here for you.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Play the Jeopardy theme, Finn.
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: You know, she said I always ate a variety of stuff,
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: like stuff from the garden. Like, you know, she grows
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: a garden, so there's nothing like, you know, fresh veggies and... Yeah,
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: she said cooked cabbage, corn.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, she lost me. She lost me on cooked cabbage.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: I've heard rumors of these things.
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: Cooked cabbage is good. I'm telling you guys. I could be.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I could be.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I could be dead and I wouldn't eat cabbage. She
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: threw this out.
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: You guys might judge me for this one. She goes,
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: chicken livers. You love chicken livers. And then she just
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: asked if I want those for supper. I think they're
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: pretty great.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, dang. Chicken livers, you go.
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I can go there. That's about
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: the only part of the chicken I don't eat.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Mama Stroh, we appreciate the invite, but we'll just eat
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: dinner over here tonight.
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: So, Stroh. You'd have one meal that she cooked and
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: you'd go back for seconds.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, some of it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Even if it's... some of it's making me hungry it's
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: sounding good all right so let that pork chop that
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: pork chop's got me right now Stroh, when we get
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: really high, when things are going good for the Panthers,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: you're usually level-headed, saying, I don't feel good, getting all overconfident.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: How do you.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Feel right now that they've lost two in a row?
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: The O-line's struggling. The cornerbacks are hurt. We're down to
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: our fifth cornerback and sixth cornerback. And then Avero gets fired.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Are you feeling like, oh my, this could be a
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: doomed season? Or do you not get... too low either
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: when things get like this.
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: You know, I, I try to stay even kill us
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: as they say, but I mean, I think the hardest
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: thing for the Panthers, in my opinion, has just been
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: like so many injuries. I mean, it's the season kind
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: of started that way.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: And so it's great. People come back. Like we were
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: so excited for Moten to come back and then Unfortunately,
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: he had a season-ending injury, and so those are the
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: things that we always talk about. Like, you just can't predict,
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: but I.
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: You know, I was driving by Dilworth Neighborhood Grill, and
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: I don't know if you've seen their latest sign, but
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: it's like 7 and 10 gets us in. Like, keep
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: saying it, keep drinking or.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Something like that. 7 and 10 gets us in. Why
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: is that not a chant we've done here?
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: I'm just saying, even they found a way to make
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: it positive this week.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: It is the NFC South, Bo. Like, we've got to
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: keep reminding us.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: God's division, there's always a chance. A little prayer. Some Sunday,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: some Sunday help along the way, and you never know
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: what may happen. Someone said, Astro, if she likes Fat Mac,
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: is that a Finney joke?
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: That's cold. That's Dr.
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: Suave.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: That's cold, man. I don't know what Fat Mac is.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: I thought it was a joke about one of us.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: You've never had Fat Mac?
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Never had Fat Mac.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I've never had Fat Mac either. I've been called that before.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: What exactly is Fat Mac? It literally.
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: fat taken from the back of a pig right.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: So that sounds good i really love fat i'm not

  Speaker 2: what it is.
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: I just had a conversation with someone about that, and
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: I don't like the fat on my steak. I just don't.
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: I don't want to chew it for the next seven minutes.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's part of it. I think the texture... Like Mrs.

  Speaker 3: This dude said Mac and Bone's southern cards that they
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: worked so hard to achieve are gone because they haven't
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: had fat back.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Give me some damn fat back right now. I want it.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: I'm asking for it, man. Give me my card back.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: That liver mush stuff I still don't want to eat.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: You like liver mush strokes?
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: No, that's not my thing.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: No, no, not my jam either.
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: There's some things I can't do, but you know, I look,
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: I will say this. I'm a pretty good sport in
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: that when it comes to like most food, I'll, I'll
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: try about anything once, but that doesn't mean I need
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: to go back. So, um, and, and also, you know,
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: I've done a lot of traveling, so I've been fortunate
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: to try, you know, different dishes from different places. And
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: I think that's, I like food. That's fun.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: Try a little bit of everything.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: I've got a question about fatback, though. Is fatback... I
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: don't eat.
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: It, so I'm probably not going to be the right
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: person to answer.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Is fatback literally its own, like, what is it, a side?
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Is it literally its own dish, just fat?
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: My dad would make it and have, like, sauerkraut with it.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: So, like, he would make other stuff with it, but
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: I do think it's typically eaten as a side, yes.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Man, fat as a side. I never knew this was
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: an option.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: 704 Bone says, my arteries are clogging just listening to
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: this show.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: I think we have a texter named Fatback.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: There was a crew chief, Fatback McSwain.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: What?
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Was the crew chief for Ricky Rudd at one point?
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: You remember him, Stroh, or is that too far ago?
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: It might be too far for me.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Big old Fatback McSwain. I'm typing it in Google.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: I guarantee you Smoke could tell you the whole resume
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: for Fatback McSwain.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. If you just saw this guy's face,
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: this guy's probably named Fatback.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: He's appropriately nicknamed. There's stuff down about it.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: He got in a fight with somebody at one point.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: He got fired after fighting somebody.
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: There he is. Michael Fatback McSwain. Oh, he threatened to
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: beat up Kevin Harvick.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: He is.
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that just popped up for me. I'm not going
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: to say what the headline says, but threatened to, you know,
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: kind of get into it with Harvick there. After he
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: spun Ricky. Yeah, there you go.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: There it is.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Didn't a lot of people threaten to beat up Kevin
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Harvick back in the day?
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Fatback retired after threatening to beat up Kevin Harvick.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: There you go. He said, I'm out. I'm done now.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: Stroh.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Went to the Fatback Ranch. Stroh, what do you think
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: about the Hornets?
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: We're starting to get, and I'm trying to urge people like, Hey,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Kobe came back last night, but it was a minute's restriction.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: He only played 16 minutes. Khan is not back yet.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Grant Williams is not back yet. People are getting very
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: unnerved watching the offense really struggle and then... You know
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: what I mean? As we go, you know, now two
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: games under 500, lost four in a row. People can't
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: help on the text line to bring up, see, we
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: have declined way too much post-Lomelo.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about, what would you say to
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: fans about that?
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: Well, I think you hit on some of the stuff
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: that I've been saying or that I would say is that,
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: you know, you started the season without Kobe, without Khan,
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: without Grant. And I know everyone was excited. Okay, Kobe's back.
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: What's that going to look like? And then he was
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: on a minute's restriction. And I just think it's so
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: hard when you go the whole offseason and you.
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: Obviously, you need depth and you've got to have a
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: good bench because we just don't know when things like
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: this are going to happen. But I think you don't
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: even fully know what the product is supposed to be
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: or going to be when everyone is healthy. And you're
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: missing Khan, who was knocking down every shot last year
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: and helping facilitate a lot on offense. And so I
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: think until you get Khan back out there and Kobe
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: back out there, you don't have a great idea of what...
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: this team is supposed to look like this season with,
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: with the five starters and the rotation. We had to,
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: I know we got.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: To be patient. We got to be patient with this
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: a little bit.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: We knew we would, I think bone logic would say
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: we knew we would decline. I think, I think people
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: have bone taken it out on us because we were
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: around 40 wins, but so was Vegas. Like, and we
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: were not, and by the way, we were not anticipating
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: not having these guys for this long.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: During the offseason.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought a couple games at most for Khan,
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: and now I thought Khan might be back at the
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: end of last week, and we're still waiting for Khan.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: I was shocked Kobe came back before that. When he
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: got recalled up from Greensboro, I thought, oh, he's a
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: day away.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought that was the story.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: Because that's normally the routine, and he's still not there.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: So I'm about to donate my hamstring to the costro.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: My athletic. Okay.
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: If you look across the league, I mean, so many–
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: star players for different teams are, are dealing with a
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: hamstring or sitting out because of this or that. And
• 31:23
  Speaker 8: so I, I think it's actually something very interesting, just
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: league wide that I want to someone to do a
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: study on or take a deep dive into is how
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: are all these, you know, soft tissue injuries happening and why,
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: and to start a season. Like I just, I think
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: that's been very interesting this year. And, and obviously, I mean,
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: it's an 82 game regular season and, and, and you
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: have your camp and all that. But I'm just, I
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: think it's been very interesting to see the guys that
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: are already missing time for their team. And I also
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: think you don't want someone to rush back because I
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: think Tyrese Halliburton is a good example of that playing,
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: you know, when he tried to come back and win
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: a championship a couple of seasons ago and he played
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: through it, but ultimately his, you know, he ended up
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: with an Achilles. And so you have to take take
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: the time to rehab these things correctly to last for
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: how long the NBA season is.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: No doubt. No doubt.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: All right, Stroh, I don't know what we accomplished, but
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: I'm very intrigued by Fatback. We learned a lot about
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: the menu at Mama Stroh's.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: They're calling you Fatback McClain now. Fatback McSwain, Fatback McClain,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I see you. I'll go with it. What the hell?
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: All right, Stroh, it was a great appearance. Send our
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: hellos to Mama Stroh, and we'll talk to you next week.
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: Okay, appreciate you guys. I'm going to go enjoy these
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: biscuits and gravy.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Mama Stroh, we love you. There you go. That sounds good.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: All right, Ashley Strohlein joining us. Love you, too. Live
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: from Mama Stroh's in Virginia on the Stroh Show.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: What are the odds in one hour whether man Mark
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: and Amit are both upset with us? I mean, this
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: is whether a man who, by the way, very rarely complained.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: You never see him on Twitter, on the text line.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: He wants you to stop talking and let her talk
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: back and talk sports. Her mom is there. Stop talking
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: about fatback.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I'm intrigued, sir.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: I'm intrigued by a fatback. That is Amit. I'm checking
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: my notes here. That is Amit's 15th complaint of the week,
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: and we are on Tuesday. Amit, what makes you happy?
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: I need to know, man. I need to know what
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: makes you happy, man.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: It seems like you have a life that you should
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: be extremely happy with, and I'm not sure you have
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: an ounce of happiness, sir.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I need to know. What makes you happy?
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: I would love an Amit Weatherman mark shower. Actually, that
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: should be the round table.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: You and Weatherman Mark are going round and round, bro.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: This has been going on for a half hour.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: Because he exhausts me in my personal life anyway, so
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: by the time we get to the text line, I'm
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: already worn out.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You get to, yeah.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: I get a lot of Weatherman Mark. You get in
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: close with these guys. You get, like, texting, and it's just, ooh.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: I nuzzle up to these listeners. Weatherman Mark, you the man, baby.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: All right? I got love for you. You're a little volatile, though, fella. Well,
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: that's why I'm going to. You're a little volatile.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I'm going to.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: You are now.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give you. Weatherman, mark your number. No,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: I don't have any interest in that. I like it. No, no.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: We can hang out during the show, Marky Mark. All right, baby?
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: You don't want his number?
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: I got boundaries.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: You don't want the every possession basketball text?
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: When we come back, it's the wrap-up. We get you
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: set for... What's going on tonight, Matt? What's going on here?
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: College football playoff rankings, baby. College football playoff rankings. I
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: knew that.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Kane's playing tonight. Kane's playing tonight. Sports Radio 92.7.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: No, my understanding is that I think the president has
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: been set that it's just a one game suspension I
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: still don't understand why he got sent off I think
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: there was two people in the stadium who saw the
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: incident which was the lad Carter Hayner I think it
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: was who ran up to the referee and VAR who
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: spent time to put his cup of tea down and
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: have a look at something I suppose and There was
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: words said to Maxi before, Maxi's restraint was what he
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: was purported to have done, probably more restraint than I
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: would have had, I'd probably chinned him if he'd said
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: that to me but.
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: It happens.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: He would have chinned the bloke. I love it.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing that is a term used over an England boat.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: I would have chinned him. We would say I would
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: have punched him or something like that. So he actually
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: applauds Maxie's restraint. Alan St. Maximum, star player for Charlotte FC,
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: had his first home goal. Didn't miss a penalty, but
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: it was followed up by a decoray bone in his first.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Charlotte FC goal. But the headline is that he....
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Grabbed the goodies in a gesture towards a guy that
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: was talking trash to him. Dean says he said something
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: pretty bad. And that goody grab bone has cost him
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: the rest of the game Saturday. And he is out
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: because of the red card. He is out for this
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: Saturday's game at Miami. Huge game as we battle for
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: the four seed, man.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: Mac, I have your answer. Chindom is a British slang term.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: We need to punch him in the face.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I love that. Thank you. And in the gym. Thank
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: you for looking that up.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: There wasn't a lot of mystery to what that meant.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: I love the way that, and I hear it so
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: much being a soccer fan. I hear so much British
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: commentaries and podcasts and stuff like that. I just love
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: the way we speak the same language, English, but we
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: have so many different expressions.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Things sound so different.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Like I'll give you an example, not that anybody asked
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: for it, Bone, but they like during a soccer broadcast,
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: they'll say he just about got there. like a defender
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: was going after the ball, he just about got there. Well,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: they mean he got there in time. When we say
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: just about got there, it meant, oh, he almost got.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: There in time.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: So it's just things like that are weird. And Jess.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: The stuff Jess said, like, it's just funny. It's the
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: same language, but it really ain't.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: The same language.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: My favorite British announcer is actually Willie P. He uses
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: a lot of those terms and expressions. I learn a
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: lot of stuff from Willie P.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: P-Man can work in some British soccer talk, man, some slang.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: There ain't no doubt about it.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow, Willie P on why he has developed a Wegmans addiction,
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: now that the lines are down at Wegmans and he.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: Can comfortably get in and out. Usually, Willie P is
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: usually not one to admit weakness, but I feel like
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: he was reaching out yesterday for some help.
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: He was.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: I got to ask about these $ 14. 99 subs.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: Usually Willie's not one to say I have a problem,
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: but I feel like right now this is getting serious.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: How often is he going that we don't know about?
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: And if you see him out there, please send us
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: a photo. Oh my goodness. By the way, let's read
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: some of these texts.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: We got college football playoff rankings announced tonight for the
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: first time. Looking forward to that. We should probably stay calm.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: It's only week one of the rankings. We'll see if
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: we stay calm. We'll see where Wake is. That's the
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: big one. I think we're looking for some damn respect
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: for Wake. And also you got Canes tonight in action
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: and match it. Two games of Maction tonight, Bone, on ESPN, ESPN2.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Tonight, or ESPN2, ESPNU, I think it might be.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: Teams that I often get confused on who is who,
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: but I'll be there.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: You'll be betting. No, I don't know.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: I haven't been on Maction since last Tuesday.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Since last Tuesday. I took Wednesday off. Okay, okay.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: All right, let's see what we have on some of
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: these texts here. Speaking of problems, what are you betting on, Maxson?
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: 704-570-9610.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Texters are killing it today. Jacob says, let's see here.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: Jacob says, I eat my wife's fat, too, when it
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: comes to steaks. um so there you go he also
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: feels bad that uh he said i eat my wife's
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: fat too with no context that piece of i plugged
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: the context in there he's talking steaks.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: That piece of uh steak fat oh that's my god
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: so you like do you like it yeah but i've
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: i've did the i love it i've done some research
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: on it and apparently it's not good for you no
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: you don't say why can't see why can't that be
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: a vegetable? I'd like some Brussels sprouts and some steak fat, please.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Same with gravy. Gravy should be included on vegetables. It's
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: a shame, isn't it?
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: Bagel Guy says Willie P will be adding chindim to
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: his lexicon.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Very soon.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Gamecock Moody says Mac's cardiologist just placed an interview.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Oh my God. I can't speak.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Mac's cardiologist just placed an order for the new Tesla
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: flying car. Now that Mac knows about fat back, uh,
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: sweet cheek, miss sweet cheek says, uh, she grew up
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: eating a fat back as a side with breakfast.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm interested. I'm intrigued. Finney's nodding. All right.
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, my dad would do that, too. You know why
• 40:18
  Speaker 7: you'll really like it, Mac? It's cut like bacon.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah. Oh, dude, I need some Fat Mac in
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: my life.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: If you didn't think that Fat Mac was going to
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: trend on this show, you were fooled.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Amit must be real triggered. He wanted me to stop
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: talking Fat Mac about 15 minutes ago. Let's see here. Oh, David,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: not a Duke fan. All these injuries come down to
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Charmin soft players. It's the old man yelling at the cloud.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: Homer, Homer, Grandpa Simpson meme. I am not going to claim. Yeah,
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to claim to know how injured everybody is.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: I just wish they wouldn't be. Somebody says you want
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: to change the Panther season. Throwing screens to J.J. Jansen
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: is the answer. I saw the I saw the Bears.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: They got flagged for it, but they they handed off
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: to an offensive lineman recently on a play. They were
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: trying to set up something for the future maybe, so
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: I don't know what they were trying to do.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Maybe our own linemen are better ball carriers than blockers.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's the twist.
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: It wasn't allowed, but there might be some schematical thing
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: they were trying to work on there. I don't know,
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: but maybe handing off to Jansen on a play would
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: be great.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: By the way, the best text that Weatherman Mark sent
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: as he was going back and forth with Bone and
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: flailing and worked up, he says, here we go again.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Make fun of my accent like Willie. That's okay. I
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: love where I come from. Willie sounds like Mickey Mouse
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: on steroids anyway.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, no. Are you kidding?
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: Just to show you how positive or not our Panther
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: fans are. Avero might be gone, but Canales is still
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: an idiot. That's a text we got earlier today, but
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: everybody feeling great. No doubt about it. Here's another one.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: This defense is going to be even more washed with wash.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Give the man a chance.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: By the way, Mac, Ahmed sent me the official list
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: of what makes him happy.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, good, good. Eating makes him happy. There you go.
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: Wegmans makes him happy. UNC football and Bill Belichick make
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: him happy.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, good, good.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: Hanging with family and friends makes me happy. And his
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: kids make him happy.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: There you go. How about that? I would focus on
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: all those things a little bit more, maybe. You know
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: what I mean? And Bryce and Caleb Williams and Drake May.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: And Twitter. Let's see here. Shout out.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, the texter said Bill Belichick has been friend zoned
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: by Jordan Hudson.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: His grandpa zoned. Pop pop zoned. Oh, my God. Imagine
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: that breakup. Bill, we're done. Oh, my God. Where are
