Mac & Bone Hour 4: Blip on the Radar? · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Execution, fundamentals, pad level, footwork, Chuba hitting it downhill and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: pressing the runs properly. It's all the things that matter
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to us that need to show up earlier. We can't
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: sit around and wait for the run game to get
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: going later. First down efficiency, just to say that, you know,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: from an offensive standpoint, whether it's the run game or
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: whether it's the pass game, making yards, getting a new
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: set of downs and scoring points. We scored on five drives.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: That's really good. That usually gives you a chance to
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: win the game. But if they're all field goals, it
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: makes it a little bit more challenging. Good thing our
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: defense found some really good play in the middle of
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: it to keep the game close as we worked our
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: way back into a lead. But then the Browns came
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: back and executed after that. So we've got to tie
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the whole thing in.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Coach Canales yesterday at his presser after watching the film.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: It was probably about 82% bone injury talk, sadly, including
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the horn injury as we wait to hear the official
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: word on that after reports that it could be anywhere
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: from six to 12 wigs or could be for the season.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Bobby Brown, did he know what he was talking about
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: when at his locker? He said, yeah, it sucks, man,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: especially losing JC for the season. I hope he misspoke.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: It didn't have all the data there, but it's a
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: bad one. And there's a bunch of other ones that,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: that you wonder if they can go this week. Guys
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: like Damian Lewis, Coker, and Mike Jack. The good news
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: is Devin Lloyd said, I'm ready to roll. I almost
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: went on Sunday. And it does sound like Nick Scott's
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: going to come back and play as well. I want
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: to talk about the offense, Bone. This will be our front.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I'm sure injuries will come up in this conversation, but
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: it'll be a segment where we're not talking through like,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: It's not all about the injuries. They're not all about
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the JC injury and how do we overcome it. I
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: want to talk about this offense. And by the way,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: if you have not heard, you're going to hear the
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Grayson Allen interview we did at Media Day yesterday coming
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: up at 925. He was unbelievable when talking about this.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the stuff from his Duke days and the controversies. There
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: is a quote he drops in here that did have
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: to be bleeped, but is one of the all-time greatest
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: quotes a guest has ever given us, Bone. So I
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: do want to tease that at 925.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I think there will be a newfound appreciation for Grayson Allen.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: People may say, oh, it's Grayson Allen. Wait till you
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: hear him talk in this interview, and I think you're
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: going to like him. Right?
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Even Tar Heel fans, potentially? Or am I getting
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: a little too crazy? I think so, yes. You're definitely
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: going to respect him, I think, differently. Plus, he's a
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Hornet now, y'all. But that's coming up at 925.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Let's go to this conversation. Dare I say you might
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: love him like I've always loved him. You're going to
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: run out and buy a Graystown Hornets jersey, Heels fans.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I told you the guy was misunderstood for a while.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: It seems like he's grown, but I don't want to
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: give it all away. But anyway, there's a great quote
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: in there. You got to hear. OK, so people are
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: already texting in about this offensive conversation. Do you fear, Bone,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: that when we watch the offense regress and have such
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: a good hard time with this Cleveland defense, do you
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: fear that this is a sign to come? Especially with
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the tackle situation. We don't know if Coker can come
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: back this week. Do you feel like this offense may
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: struggle more? Or do you still believe, no, this is
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: an improved unit. They're going to be pretty dang good
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: for this full season. They're going to be good because
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I think the quarterback has greatly improved. I have trust
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: in Bryce Young. He wasn't at his best the other day.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: It was his worst of the three games. But still,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I trust that he will have much better days. The
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: O-line has to get better, but there is help on
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the way eventually. TMAC has to be better, but Denzel
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Ward completely took him away. And part of that, I think,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: is Coker not being healthy in the game hurt them.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So there is reasons for optimism that the offensive line
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: has parts on the way. Coker's going to get healthier.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and they're going to figure out a way to get
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: T-Mac more involved. But it all starts at the QB
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: spot for me.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I've got faith that Bryce Young is no longer the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: quarterback that he was. He is a big part of
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: why they can win games, not just along for the
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: ride now. And I trust that Bryce Young will get
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: this offense rolling again.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I'm with you, man. Can I guarantee, you know, 30-plus points?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: We knew there would be off games. We said last
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: week there was going to be down games. Dude, the Browns,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and maybe we didn't say this enough, and yeah, they
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: traded Myles Garrett, but they got Verst back, and maybe
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't have talked about his one pressure only through
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the first two games. Maybe I shouldn't have done that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: But they were the No. 4 total defense in the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: league last year and the No. 3 pass defense in
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the league last year. So I feel like maybe we
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: didn't say that enough going into the game, but we
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: all lowered our score total. We thought it was going
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: to be an uglier game. Finney himself brought up, hey,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: could this be like the Jets game from last year?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: So I think we expected it to be tougher for
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the offense. I just think we didn't expect the tackles
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: to struggle that bad. But they struggled pretty bad against Atlanta,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and Bryce was able to overcome it. And I thought
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: there were moments, Bone, on Sunday where Bryce really did
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: overcome the, the, the, the tackles. And we got a
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: great text here from, from the text line that said,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: we have to figure, we have to change our offensive
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: play calling based on our tackle situation. I couldn't agree more.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I thought it took too long for Brad Idzik and
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Dave to adjust bone to the fact that Bryce had
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: no time. I thought the ball should have been coming
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: out quicker. I thought, you know, I know they really
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: want to push it downfield this year and they still
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: threw seven deep balls bone, only hit two of them.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: But I do think they have to find that happy medium.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: They have to be ready bone to go quick game,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Drew Brees type quick game. And they also have to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: find a way to run the ball. If you run
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the ball, your pass protection will improve by not even
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: changing personnel and not even helping these guys, which by
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the way, I'd like to see some help. But like,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: you just run the football better. If we can find
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a way to get that going. And they did it
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: in the second half. They ran for 80 yards in
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the second half. Could that be the start of something?
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I hope so. Because if you can run the ball
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: bone and get into second and medium, if you can
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: get into third and short, then you're not in, they
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: were in predictable passing situations for much of that game.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: And that's when your tackles get exposed. So I just think,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: find a way to run this ball better. And I
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: do think it will help the pass protection because it
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: won't be obvious pass rushing situations that you'll be in.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I also think the reason why the tight ends went
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: 11 for 128 is because Bryce had no time, Matt,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: to go through his progressions. It was all middle-of-the-field type
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: stuff or quick outs to tight ends because, number one,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: no coker. Also, number two, did the offensive line allow
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Bryce time to hit T-Mac even if T-Mac was open
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: on a route? He had no time to even let
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: TMAC even get a chance to get the football. That's
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: why it was all quicks up to tight ends because
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: he had no time back there.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: No.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: And he just worked magic. Those two throws to Waller
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: back to back, the placement on those, some of the
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: like waggles and boots where they started finally move. And
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I thought they were too slow to start moving Bryce,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: move the pocket, move Bryce out. That will help as well.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Then he won't be a sitting duck back there in
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the pocket. But when they started doing that, He had
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: met you for the touchdown. He was hitting tremble. Like
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I love a boot to tremble, man. Cause he's his
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: run after the catch for a guy, his size is
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: pretty damn good.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: You know, and he still has that hurdle. I hadn't
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: seen a hurdle in a while from him. So I'm
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: still waiting for that. I think this offense is better
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: than last year, even with the issues with that said,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: many people are saying it, um, uh, that, that we
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: are this I'll read this text right here. 704 number, uh,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I believe the offense has improved from last year, but
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: to get their maximum out of them, they need Icky
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and Moten back. Formal Timothy says, at some point, the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: numbers have to matter. If the O-line is constantly getting
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: beat by four-man fronts with five, six-man protection, then I
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: don't see us improving anytime soon. Even when they get
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Icky and T-Mac back, they need to get them into
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: football shape. And that's a fair point, too. It's not
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: like you just drop them in. I don't know though
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: what they've been able to do. Moten, you know, with
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the blood clot, I don't know what he's been able
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: to do. Icky's trying to ramp up that knee. But
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: that's a fair point, too. Maybe they don't drop them in,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: and they're in football shape. So, yeah, I mean, they're
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: up against it, but I still believe. I think you
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: said something so key, too, is the Bryce. Like, even
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: as hard as many things were against him, Bone, he
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: was different than last year's Bryce would not have handled
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: it like Sunday.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Would you like, Mac, a text that will make you
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: mad from a Bryce hater, or do I move on
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: from this?
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Uh-oh.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: What the hell? This guy's name is Fire Everyone on
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the text line.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Of course.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing that was a name that was given to
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: him probably. Bryce is playing scared. Bryce is playing scared. Bro,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: he got 63% pressured the other day. Wouldn't you be
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: a little bothered by it? Did you see Rasheed Walker
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: end up in his lap the other day because he
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: got pushed backwards? Where did you get Bryce's playing scared from?
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, I don't know what you mean by that.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: If he was scared, he could have sat out the
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: game and said, I got a foot injury. He kept
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: playing through it. He got pressured 63% of the time.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: He's been the most pressured quarterback, according to Sumer Sports, 53%
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: for the first three games. And he still makes stuff happen.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: If you mean because he ran from the big guys
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: chasing him in brown uniforms, if that made him scared,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I guess he was. But I saw him still make
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: a bunch of plays.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Did he miss some?
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: But I saw him make a bunch of plays despite
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: all that. What do you want him to do?
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Not run from the other team? I want to prove
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: my toughness by getting squashed here.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: He's scared. Why was he running away from those big guys?
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: He looked scared. Maybe to make a play?
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Maybe?
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: I'm going to guess, Mac, that fire everyone. Let's just
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: go through... His recent text here. Chuba ain't the answer.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Dave Canales, hit the road, Jack.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Nice guy.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Haynes King. Haynes King should play. Bryce sucks. Fire Bryce.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Get rid of Chuba. This is all in the last day,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: by the way. He's got about 25 texts about Chuba
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: needs to go.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I need to know. This is why this guy got
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: named Fire Everyone. Oh, you deserve this Fire Everyone. Shroppy
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: gives some of y'all names that don't make any sense
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: to me, but this one's deserved, it feels like. I
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: need to know if the texter that has been named
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Fire Everyone, do you have a woman that loves you
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: in your life? I just need to know because I
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: would like to hit her with a bless her heart
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: because I just can't imagine with that attitude. You can't
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: survive in a marriage with that attitude at the house, though.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Can I make a bold prediction back about our guy
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Big Fire here? I'm not sure he's ever seen a woman.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Unless he's looking out the basement window.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: And someone walks by.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: 704-570-9610.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Do you worry seeing that offense? that long-term the offense
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: is going to have issues. Do you believe this is
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: still a much improved unit like they showed in the
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: first couple of weeks? Big Cat Dan said, what game
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: was that person watching?
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I thought Chuba ran hard. I say that about five
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: times a day. I actually thought Chuba ran hard, Bone.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: There were times where he pulled the pile with him,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: four or five yards. I mean, he was not getting
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: good blocking at all.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Again, he goes to the offensive lines, also not doing
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: well run blocking either. This whole thing kind of starts
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: with the offensive line here.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see more Dillon in there, too. I
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: thought Dillon went in there. If the holes aren't big,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: let Dillon make some holes. And then I felt like
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: when they put Chuba back in after Dillon... I don't
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: know if it was a change of pace or whatever,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: but then I thought, you know, maybe Chuba just watching
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: from the sideline to kind of see how things look.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: If I wait here a little patiently, then I hit
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: the hole there. But I thought Chuba got better, Bone,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: after they put Dylan in. Yeah, I thought so too.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: There's a stat out there, Bone, about Chuba running. behind
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Freeling and behind Walker. And it's crazy to me because
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: what was the book on Walker? Good pass protector, but
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: struggles to run block. Meanwhile, Walker's given up 12 freaking
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: pressures in the last two weeks. But listen to this.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: When Chuba runs, this is a PFF, so it's not
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: the gospel, according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John or anybody,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: but this is PFF. When Chuba runs the ball this
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: season off left tackle or off left end, Ten carries
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: for 72 yards. That's Walker's side. When he runs it
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: off right tackle or right end, Freeling's side, nine carries
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: for 21 yards. So, you know, the Rook, they're not
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: running well behind the Rook, and the Rook is struggling.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: in past protection like Walker is.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: He's a guy that was thrown into the fire early,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: kind of like Will Lee's probably thrown into the fire
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: here early too. So maybe long-term, maybe long-term it benefits
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: the team, but right now it's going to be some
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: of these days like this.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: By the way, we have.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Due to a texter's suggestion, Fire Everyone is now renamed
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Cousin Bop. He's going to be at that Bop family reunion.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: We should just name all the haters different forms of
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Bop's family members.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Uncle Bop, Cousin Bop, Auntie Bop.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Do we have a female Bop, though? His daughter? Yeah,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: but she's not like that, though. I don't think she
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: likes him, either. She gets boozed up at the Panther games,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: dances around, and makes viral videos. She's kind of likable.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: yeah so how did she overcame the odds much like
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: bros bros much like bryce overcame the odds to get
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: the panthers to lead twice the other day uh daughter
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: bop has overcome the odds be a likable person she's
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: reached out for help before we need to talk to
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: her at some point again soon oh definitely definitely uh
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: retractable actually bop's daughter should be at the round table
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: with bop retractable roof says chuba gets tackled too easily
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: dylan breaks more tackles and runs harder i thought i
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: thought chuba was running harder i i run it not
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: harder than than dylan but i thought he was running
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: hard the other day um again i thought there were
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: times bone where he got more yards than were there
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: um i was reading something bone we we averaged two
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: point of our 4.3 yards of carry i think almost
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: three yards per carry were after contact that's not it
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: wasn't ideal on Sunday. Fitty, what do you say about
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: this offense question, brother? This dude says, if anybody watched
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: that offense on Sunday and thinks, yeah, we're going to
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: be a top 10, top 15 unit, they are blind
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: or dumb. What would you say to that individual, Fitty?
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: I mean, this is life in the NFL, man. You're
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: going to have games where you've got to grind it out.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: You're not going to be able to run the ball.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: The passing game's going to be out of sync, your No.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: 1 wide receiver is not going to be doing what
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: a No. 1 wide receiver is supposed to do. They
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: still put together five scoring drives, as Canales said in
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: that cut we played coming back from break. The issue
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: was they had to settle for one too many field goals.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: Because I'm such a believer in Bryce, Mac, I believe
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: this offense is going to be fine. I think they're
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: going to put up the type of points on Sunday
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: night that they need to put up to give themselves
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: a chance to win. And make no mistake about it,
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: with where this defense is at, the offense feels the burden.
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: They know they got to put up probably 24-ish points
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: on a much more consistent basis. But that was a
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: road game against an inspired football team that is still
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: one of the best defenses in football. Like, if you
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: didn't think that game was going to play out that way,
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: Then do you follow the league?
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: Do you understand the trends of the league?
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Look at Finney firing back. Get him, Finney. You don't
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: know ball. Sir, don't try to play me. Because I
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: know ball. I think that's what you're trying to say.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: It's not going to be 35-31 every week. This isn't
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: the Big 12 where every game is a track meet.
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: It feels like. There are going to be games where
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: they have.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: To grind out scoring drives and grind out possessions.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: And, Mac, if they put the football away in the
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: first half, I think they win the damn game. That's
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: what I'm most frustrated about.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I told you I hate that.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: That was the first scenario since Canales relinquished play calling
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: to manage the game better. That's the first time where
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: I needed him to manage, and I feel like he
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: got it wrong.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Dude, and he said it. He went for it from
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: his own 40 because he trusted the defense. How about
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: this one? How about if you trust the defense, punt it,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: pin them back, play defense, trust them to get you
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: to football back a good field position. Like I, I, I,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: in a past life bone, I was a Baltimore Ravens fan.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: So I watched my favorite team is a 2000 Ravens
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: who went like six games without a touchdown and went
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: on to win the Superbowl because they have one of
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: the greatest defenses ever. I understand bone how to win
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: ugly football games, right? I've seen a lot of it
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: in my past life. Hell, the Panthers, John Fox ball,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: That's a good play. You know what I mean? Like
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: the Panthers, when they're great, historically, it's because of their defense.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: When you get in a game like that, that, you know,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: is a low scoring slobber knocker. You punt the football
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: away in that spot and you get it back and
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: you go again, starting at first and 10 instead.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Of you're on the road. All you did was liven
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: up the crowd. You gave a team that in a
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: fan base, by the way, that was ready to pounce
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: on their own. It wasn't like you were going back
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: to an environment that that fan base was excited to
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: see their team. They were excited to boot Deshaun Watson.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: They were ready to jump on their team. And you
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: kind of gave them hope where they're like, oh, we
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: might have a chance today. By the way, when you
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: watch the Rams, Mac. And what they do with all
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: their tight ends and 13 personnel and how they help
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: the offensive line out with all those tight ends makes
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: you wonder if the offensive line continues to struggle, how
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: much can they utilize all these tight ends to help
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: the offensive line?
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: They were only like 4% 13 personnel, which is the
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: one back in the three tight ends. I was surprised
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: by that. Rams do a great job. They use all
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: those tight ends they have. I was surprised by that.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: And Mike K was probably personally offended. There wasn't more
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: 13 personnel. Shout out Mike K. This texter says, you
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: see how quick the Bears had Keenum getting the ball
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: out last night. And he looked great. And you know what?
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Ben Johnson adjusted to him being the quarterback and not
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: being Caleb Wilson. well williams why do i do that
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: all the time caleb williams.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Williams is a bull wilson's a bit no no wilson
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: is the the bull williams is the.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah get it straight baby get it all right.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: We come back it's a must hear interview that we
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: did yesterday with hornets guard grayson allen he has an
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: all-time quoted there about his past i think the tide
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: might turn with the way some people think about grayson
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: when you hear what he says that is next sports
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: radio 92 7 wfnz.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Welcome back, everybody.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: It is the Mac and Bone Show, Sports Radio 92.7
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: WFNZ in the Queen City of Charlotte.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Mac and Bone with you.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Hornets Media Days joined by a new member of the Hornets,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: but he knows all about this state.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: He knows what makes it tick.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: He knows about the state's love of basketball. He is
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Grayson Allen, now on your Charlotte Hornets. Grayson, welcome to
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: How are you doing, man?
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: Thank you. I'm doing great.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: So does it mean.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Something to come back to North Carolina after your time
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: at Duke?
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: Like, was that.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: I know the most important thing probably is who you're
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: playing with, how do they play, how do I fit in.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: But in the state of North Carolina, is that a
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: cool thing?
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: No, it's definitely really cool.
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: I come back here every summer, too, not to Charlotte, obviously,
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: but to Durham and Duke. So I definitely still feel
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: connected to the state of North Carolina. So it is
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: cool to be back at kind of like a second home.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: So initially, all the Duke fans are fired up. We
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: got Grayson here, and obviously... the anti-Duke crowd, the anti-Grayson crowd,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: the UNT fans, they say, oh, we got to root
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: for Grayson now. But how long do you think, though,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: it'll take to... be fully embraced by the fan base
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: once they see what you're about on the NBA.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Court first three it better be.
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah I don't I don't I don't know I I
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: feel like you know I think this question has come
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: up at every NBA team I've played for now because
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: it always seems to be a split crowd. But it's
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: kind of the same thing.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: I'll go out. I'll play hard. I want us to
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: win and be successful.
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: And the way I play is I try to contribute
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: towards that. And I think people who are fans of
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: the team– end up appreciating that. How long it takes them,
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: I'm not sure, but I do think once it's all
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: said and done, they end up appreciating my effort for
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: the team.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: It better be quick, man. All right, we're all on
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: the same page now.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Now, when you're on the other teams and they booge,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: you know, I can't help with that one, but now
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: they got to get your back, and I do feel like,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I think the fit is good. You can speak to that,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: but obviously this team loves shooters. They love space in
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: the floor. You can attack a little bit of a closeout, too,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: in addition to shoot. Like, do you kind of feel
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: that way too? Like this is, this is probably.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: A good fit.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: I think so.
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: Um, you know, we have a, we have a team
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: that is extremely deep and talented and we have a
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: lot of guys that can do multiple things. Like even
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: with the, the shooting that we have and we have
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: a lot of elite shooting, we have a lot of
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: guys that do more than just shoot and we're not,
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: you don't have a lot of one dimensional guys on
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: the team. So, um, it makes it very fun to
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: play basketball that way. Uh, I know, Since I've gotten here,
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: Coach Charles has been talking about playing fast, fast, fast,
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: kicking the ball up, and they played with an extreme
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: pace last year. But with the skill set of the
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: whole team, the amount of shooting, the amount of different
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: playmakers we have, that speed to the game is so
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: much fun.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: You've been around the league for a long time now.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: How excited should fans be that Charles Lee on the
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: coaching side, Jeff Peterson on the front office side, are
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: in charge of the operation right now?
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I've known Charles for a few years now. I
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: was with him in Milwaukee for two years. He's a very,
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: very smart coach, very good at connecting to the guys.
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: And I think from, you know, I wasn't around him
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: as a head coach, but from what I saw that
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: last year with this team and from what I've seen
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: this summer from being on the team and being on
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: the inside, I think he's a Tremendous coach, and I
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: think his vision and his outlook for the team is
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: very well aligned with the team and the roster that.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: They have brought in this summer. It's there.
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: We as players have got to execute his vision and
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: play well for him.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: We're talking with Grayson Al, now a member of your
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Charlotte Hornets team. So, you know, you see my partner
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: in crime. Where's the Ducat? You know, he's talking to
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: you and Khan today. So he's definitely wants you to
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: remember to the brotherhood all hanging out together. I want
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: you to know he's in the brotherhood. And I notice
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: he said something to you when you when you got here.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: He shook your hand and said thanks for the championship.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: And I made note.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, damn. Yeah, he couldn't say that to Khan as
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: great as he is. do you hold that over con
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: at all? Or is that an unbrotherhood thing to do
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: to like, say, I got the hardware.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: Can you not do that?
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: I don't hold it over him at all.
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: Um, and I think something that I do realize from
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: being there for four years is like winning the national
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: championship and getting to that final game and winning it
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: is so damn hard. And it, there's a lot of
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: luck involved. There's a lot of skill involved. Uh, there's
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: a lot of playing great basketball at the right time involved. So,
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: I really, really enjoyed watching Khan's team when they were there,
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: and I think they had the ability, the talent to
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: do it. You know, you have a couple different bounces
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: of the ball. A shot goes in here. One doesn't
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: go in there. It's a completely different story. So I
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: will never hold that over anybody, especially after my four
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: years and some of the teams that we had that
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: lost way earlier than expected. I had a team that
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: went further than people probably expected, so.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Uh, that's the way it works.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: What do you think of the current state of the
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: game where all these fifth year guys are playing now?
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: And there's some guys, I think that came out with you.
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: Well, not, not, not quite that old. If we start
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: doing that, we'll have some real issues. Um, I mean,
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: it's a completely different landscape of college basketball than when
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: I played. So, um, you know, I almost feel too
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: far removed to even comment on it now, even though
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: it's been, well, this is eight years now. Um, But
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: it feels that different. Going back to Duke the last
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: few summers and kind of realizing how different the entire
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: landscape of college basketball is.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: It's just.
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's not the same thing as when I was
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: recruited and went to school and anything. I'm not having
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: the same college experience as those guys.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Do you have NIL envy or are you all right?
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: I'm good.
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: I ended up good now. There's obviously the thought of like, well,
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: what if? I wonder what the 2015 to 2018 NIL
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: market would have been like.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Especially after that championship, you could ask for more. Talking
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: about your college career, You know, it's no secret there
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: was a bunch of controversy that involved you, for instance,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: on the court. And, my Lord, we talked about it
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: on the show nationally. I mean, you turn on ESPN.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: You're young, man, going through that. Did that stuff bother you?
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Like the way.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: People kind of all of a sudden you're a villain
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: and you're at Duke, so people already want to get you.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Did that stuff bother you as young as you were
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: or did it really not bother you?
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: No, it definitely bothered me. But I think there's like
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: two parts to it. And I think the one part
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: is that, like, I was not.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: Built. Like I, I played like an a * * hole,
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: but I wasn't built. Like, you know what I mean?
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: Like I didn't have, like I didn't, I just didn't
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: have it in me not to like care as much. Um,
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: and I just wasn't, wasn't built to just like play
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: into the hate and use it to fuel me and
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: all those things. And so I think that part bothered me.
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: But another part that bothered me was like, I realized
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: that like the stuff that I did was super immature
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: and And so it almost felt like some of the
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: hate was justified and that made it tougher to deal with.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: Um, nah, I, you know, if you're being objective and
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: looking back on it, the, the level of it was
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: so extreme and not justified, but some of it was. Um,
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: so I, I think a combination of those things bothered me, but, um, Man,
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: some of the games, the atmosphere, because of Duke and
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: because of me being college basketball's.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Most hated, were wild, wild to play in looking back at.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Now, did you ever talk to, like, when I think
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: of guys that maybe, I'm not going to use your quote,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: but it was great, but like guys that maybe just said, yeah,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: bring it on.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Leitner, J.J. Redick to a degree seemed like he might.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Like, did you talk to those guys about dealing with it?
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: I talked to JJ a little bit, yeah. And me
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: and JJ are different people. That's what I'm saying. I
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: don't think it helped me very much.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Because he was probably like, oh, it's great. I love JJ,
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: and we've had many conversations.
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: But at the time, I don't know if it helped
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: me that much just because he, I think he just
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: loved it, and he played into it a little bit
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: more than I was able to do at the time.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: That's a good, honest answer. Now I kind of bone
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: feel bad for when we're criticizing. I mean, you still
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: did the things, and you just said it.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: I was like his public defender.
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Trust me.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: If you ever get in trouble, this guy's an attorney.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I used to get so mad at Seth Greenberg because
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: he would ask. He would come on like you were
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Charles Manson.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: I'm like, we're playing basketball.
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, there's such a middle line, and there's
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: the one end of the people who acted like I
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: was the worst person in the world, and then there's
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: the other end of the people who acted like I
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: didn't do anything wrong.
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: That might have been you.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd say, honestly, what are you talking about?
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the reality was somewhere in the middle, but yeah.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: But Greenberg would act like, all right, settle down, Greenberg.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Did they, like, make him talk about it every day
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: or did he want to?
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: It was just like he was like the designated Grayson
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Allen guy.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: It's like maybe, maybe.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: It was bad.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: Oops, maybe. All right.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, your attitude right here, I'm telling you right now,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I'm doubling down. If Tar Heel fans try to not
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: embrace Grayson right away after this attitude he displayed and
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: this growth. All right, we're going to get you. We're
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: going to get you. Hey, man, it was great meeting you.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: After talking to you for so much, meeting you, talking
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: Thank you, guys.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: We're very pumped to see you on this team. Think
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: it's a great fit. Best of luck this year, man.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: Appreciate it. Thank you. Appreciate it.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: That is Grayson Allen of your Charlotte Hornets. Talking to
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: him yesterday at Media Day. I was blown away, Bone,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: and he is a good bit removed from it now.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: It's kind of the way we all look back at ourselves,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: especially me looking back at myself in college years. Holy crap,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: what an out-of-control knucklehead. Fortunately, my college years were spent here.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: That's true. That is true. But that was good self-awareness.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: You could tell he's grown a bit. And I thought
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: it was really interesting the way he said, I played
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: like a bleep hole, but I wasn't built to handle
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: the backlash.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: You know, like, so it really ate him up. Whereas
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: the first two guys I thought of were Leitner and Redick.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: They loved it. they like love to be villains, you know,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: but not everybody, not everybody does.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: That's why when he says he reached out to JJ,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: he probably got the answer of, Oh yeah, go all
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: in man.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Embrace it.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: But that was, I think JJ and Wagner are probably naturally.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: They love it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: They, they, they, they embrace being the jerk. They embrace that.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think Grayson ever truly embraced it. And that's
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: what he's telling you. Definitely not.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I would say we've gotten a couple, of textures that
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: are like, man, he's a class actor. That's, that's really
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: an honest answer. Uh, we are getting Tar Heel fans
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: that are dropping obscenities towards Grayson Allen.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: It is what it is, but he's a Hornet now.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: So get used to it.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: That rivalry.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Is it going to take more than one interview with
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: this rivalry, I guess? But yeah, at some point, you've
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: got to say this dude's going to be out there
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: making buckets for the Hornets. I do truly believe. I
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: wasn't blowing smoke up his glutes. I do think he's
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: a really good fit because he can help stretch the
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: floor when that bench unit comes in. I'm sure he'll
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: mix a little bit with a starter or two as well.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: And I just think then he can attack closeouts with
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: that athleticism. I just think it's going to go well.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: He talked about getting up and down the floor. I
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: have to tell you, the closer we get the Hornets season,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: people are going to people are going to laugh at
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: me now. Closer we get the Hornets season, Bo, the
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: more I start thinking as mad as I was about
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: the Lomelo deal. This is a deep team. This is
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: a team that like I love the sounds of Brandon
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Miller putting on some weight. you know, and how healthy
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: he feels. I just, this team is still going to
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: be competitive as hell, man.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know about the Wintolder yet. You know, they
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: still going to be competitive as hell. We now go
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: to Fiddy. Speaking of competitive, we now go to Fiddy
• 30:56

  Speaker 6: at the beginning of the show, the Senate did greenlight
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: the Protect College Sports Act. With a 77-22 vote, the
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: House still will not vote on that bill until November.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: So it's passed through the Senate, but now they've got
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: to take some time. Make a little recess. They'll reconvene
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: back in November. We'll see the next step of that
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: bill becomes a law.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, got to do it. Right about the time you'll
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: stop hearing ads that Roy Cooper cut a four-year-old girl's
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: pigtails off and threw them at her face. Once you
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: stop hearing those ads that are being done right now, Boat,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: then it'll be time to reconvene in the house.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Roy Cooper once tripped a Louisville Cardinal basketball player. Oh, no,
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: we got that mixed up there.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Could you imagine negative if Grayson tries to go into politics,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: a negative campaign that would be done?
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: He was shoved a Florida State assistant.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: By the way, I have an.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Update that's going to make you smile as of right
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: now per PFF. Can I read you off the current
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: NFL playoff seating right now?
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: What you got?
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Sunday's game, Lions-Panthers, would be the current 4-5 matchup in
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: the NFC.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: That's right, baby, because we got that tiebreaker. We got
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: a division win. We got the tiebreaker. We in first.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Panthers the 4th seed, Lions the 5th seed right now.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: So you don't want to show everything right now in
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: case it's a playoff matchup.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: No, so we're going to choose to not show pass
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: protection on the outside. We're going to hold that back.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: There's also a chance we may not show defense at
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: some point during this game. When we come back, it's
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: the wrap-up. We got a busy... Day in sports. Braves
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: at two. Canes at five. We get you all set
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: next on Sports Radio 92.7. When he gets.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: A hold of it, I mean, this thing is a
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: ram-a-dam-a-ham slam, right?
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: It's gone.
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: And so you've got to be ready to get out
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: of there, and then if you can't field it, let
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: it go.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: It is what it is.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: That is Arizona State head coach Kelly– Kenny. Kelly, Kenny
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Dillingham dropping a phrase bone that I am not familiar with.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: And I could not repeat right now. If I tried,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: you nailed it during the break. What did he just say?
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: He said, I believe it's on the sheet here. Make
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: sure I get it right. Oh, I thought you had it. Ram-a-wham-a-ham-slam.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: There you go, baby. I will now use that in
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: my everyday life. There we go. That sounds like— Sounds
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: like a sandwich order for Finney. You know what it
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: sounds like when everybody does Raymond, Jackie Go Wacky? Remember
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: the TV anchor catchphrases or whatever?
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: That sounded like something he would.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: Jump in there.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Sweet, sassy, molassy, Jackie Go Wacky. There you go. I
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: barely watch any Raymond, and I know all about that.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: He was doing the SportsCenter highlights on SNL for the
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Jazz and Sonics game, I remember. Oh, that's what it was. Okay,
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: I was like, I remember the bit. He was doing
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: a SportsCenter spoof.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, I remember the bit, but I didn't know exactly
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: what it was. But you could see him insert, Ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong? No. Ram-a-lam-a-ham-slam. Okay,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: that's right. And I still don't know what he was
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: really talking about there, but I love it. It was,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: I think, maybe the foot off the ball of a punter, maybe,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, it was.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: It was some sort of kick, yeah. Shane, will you.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Order on Tuesday Subday a Ram-O-Lama ham slam?
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: I will not.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: He is barred. Now that he has a sweetheart, he
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: is barred from local Jersey Mike's.
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: I'll be there this afternoon. What are you talking about?
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know.
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: I got a gift card there for my birthday.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: But does your sweetie know the Jersey Mike's story, that
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: you might be looking for more than just a fine-tasting sandwich?
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: More than just a rival of a ham slam. I
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: feel like she needs to be warned, Penny. Are you good?
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: I'm just there for the sandwich, Mac. There for the sandwich.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. Mac, you're a.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: You're a married guy. When's the last time you ordered
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: up a Ram-a-Lam-a-Ham Slam?
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: We ain't talking sandwiches anymore? No, I am, yeah.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: Mrs.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Mac, go make me a Ram-a-Ham-a-Slam-Dam, all right? You got
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: it wrong again. I cannot say it right. All right, Ram-a.

• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Ham Slam. There we go.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: There we go.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Now say it faster. It shouldn't be that. No, don't
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: make me do that now.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: You sounded like Forrest Gump the way you slowed down there.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: I want a Rambo, I want a Rambo, I want
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: a Ham Slam. Sneak up on it, baby. That's the
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: only way to get that one.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: People right now are probably like, what are these two
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: guys talking about?
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: And we're talking Rambo and Ham Slam. Let's let you
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: know what's coming up in sports. We got no football.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Doesn't mean we don't have good stuff. All four Major

• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Braves and Phillies, Chris Sale on the mound, 2 o'clock.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: And then how about that? Weird time, but still an
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: exciting moment. The Canes raising the banner and then taking
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: on the Panthers at 5 o'clock. So that's a nice
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: little double dip of sports action right there, Boney. I
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: like that. Looking forward to that. Do we have a
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: winner for the contest, Finney? I see the guy's name here.

• 37:58
  Speaker 2: segment is staying. You don't have to worry about losing
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: your gig. Although it sounds like Weatherman Mark might have
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: to worry about losing that pep talk gig. But Picante
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: has vowed, Boney, that he is back. He is back
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: this week and will get back to the winning weeks

  Speaker 3: enough removed from that where we could just be joking?
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: I'm upset with Mac for snitching on Fitty. Why?
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: What'd I do? That girl could be listening right now,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: and Mac's ratting Fitty out.
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: She doesn't listen, thankfully.
• 38:38

  Speaker 6: And the last time you were in the Final Four,
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: you got beat by a bunch of college players.
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: All that NBA talent, not a banner to show for it.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: They do in 2015. Bone is going to turn around
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: and smack you. No, I'm not taking it.
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: It's the dumbest brag in sports.
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: Let's brag about a bunch of NBA talent with nothing
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: to show for it.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Do you know who used to do that all the time?
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: They reversed.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: It used to be UNC that would say that about
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Duke all the time. Duke has no NBA talent, and
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: UNC fans have.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: No NBA talent. I'm going to break this down for you.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: It just came full circle. I thought you knew ball,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to break this down for you. In
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: the old days when UNC were the kings of the
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: triangle NBA talent, Dean Smith would have those guys for
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: a long time. If it was not the one and
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: done era and Duke was getting all these recruits, you
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: know how many damn natties they would win?
• 40:55
  Speaker 7: How many, Mac?
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: The absolute ton of them. Because they would have the
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: combinations of players they would have available together would be absurd.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: It would be. So you don't think. Anyway, I'm just
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: going to leave it at that. I thought you knew Ball,
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: but Willie P just texted me. Pal, you don't know Ball.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: He just texted me. I'm going to punch you in
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: your ramble in the ham slam. Somebody said they're calling
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: for an ambulance for Fitty. What's that about? I guess
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: if he goes down to one knee, he can't get
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: back up. Panther Steve says, I want to know what
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: my buyout is in comparison to the coaches. I told
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: him $ 5 million. Please send that in here. A diet
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Mountain Dew and a bag of Fritos. This texter says,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: I would love to get $ 10 million to suck at
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: my job. He's talking about Doran and Belichick. NC State
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: fan says, Doran's seat is literally skin-melting acid hot. Yeah,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: when you get fired.
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: That sounds painful.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: When you get fired with a buyout, do you go
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: home sad or you're like, oh, I can't believe I
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: got fired and I.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Only got $ 29 million out of the deal? Packer said
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: it all the time, the American dream.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you're upset you failed, but at the same time,
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: it's kind of like how long until you go home
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: and you're like, all right, I guess I'll go hang
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: out with my family and count my money.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: I guess I will head to an exotic island and
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: pay for it with these millions of dollars I just
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: received to do nothing. Oh, my God. Somebody, we were
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: asking about what DBs the Panthers could add. A texter says,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: my Trey Boston jersey still has some mileage on it.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Trey Boston, stint three, baby. You ready for it, Trey?
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Captain Mutter when he was just on the station. There
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: you go, Trey and Captain. Anybody interested in that? All right,
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: we got to get out of here, y'all. We appreciate it.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Appreciate y'all tuning in and hanging with us. If you
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: did not hear the Grayson Allen interview, the Khan interview,
