  Speaker 1: Welcome back everybody. It is the Mac n Bone Show,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: WFNZ Sports Radio ninety two seven. We are live at
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Panther training camp. It is that time again this year
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and we were lucky again this season to catch up
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: with QB nine Bryce Young.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Bryce.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: How you doing man? What's going on?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I'm blessed, I'm doing well. Thanks so much for having
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: me on.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: So does this feel different for you? It feels different
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: for us as fans like we are, we have some
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: swag man, y'all want the division title. Get bade us
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: happy man with a playoff game that was battling one
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of the league's best teams. Do you guys feel that too,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Like kind of feel extra confidence?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: You know? I think for us, yeah, I mean we
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: we we for sure have belief in the building. Everyone
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: plays with for one another. We're excited, but I think
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: we really believe this is where that confidence is meant
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: to be built. You know, this is what training camp
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: is for. We know that you know nothing about last season, titles, anything.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: This year. It's on us to work, if not just
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: as hard, if not harder this year to go out
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: there try to accomplish our goals. But you know, right now,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: during training camp. It's not the time to think about
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: any of that. This is the time you developed that confidence,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: developed that camaraderie, developed that identity, and obviously early on.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Now I've had a good, good few days to start,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: still a lot of camp ahead, so we're excited for
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: that grind.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: We always marvel at your clutched mindset and how at
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: the end of games you seem to deliver more times
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: than not. What what allows you to be like that
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: in that moment? Is that something learned over time? Is
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: it something you developed? What allows you in those moments
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: to compartmentalize and lead the team to victory as often
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: as you do?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, combination of things. Faith for us first and foremost,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: you know, just just just trust in God and all
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: that outcomes. No, I know, however supposed to play out
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: is how well. And then on top of that's preparation,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: you know, not just for myself, but from us as
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: a team, banked reps. Knowing that I can go out
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: there with with my guys and knowing they have my
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: back as well. I'm super grateful for that. We all
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: have that mindset of knowing, uh, you know, in those moments,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: it's not anyone on anyone to rise to be something
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: they're not. It's people are going to fall to who
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: they are, you know, who they trained to be, how
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: they view themself, all that stuff. So you know, we
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: have a great group of guys. We're excited. But at
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: the same time, again, nothing in the passing tells us anything.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: It's on us to re establish it. We have to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: keep working hard, so you know that that's the mindset.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Another big storyline that we're talking about at training camp,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: like media and fans, is, of course Brad Idzick taken
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: over as the play caller. I heard Dave the other
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: day talk about he was kind of able to roam
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: around more at practice. Is anything different right now for you,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: because I'm sure the playbook is similar, right, Like, I'm
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: sure play design similar. What's been different so far for
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you other than maybe Coach Canalis is at looking over
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: my shoulder every minute type?
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, the communication is it shifts a little bit. Obviously,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: still able to talk to coach a bunch, you know.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Last year, it's the day, it's the you know, play
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: by plays throughout the weekend. Big picture stuff. Now kind
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: of shifts to more of those big picture conversations and
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: culture stuff and you know all that, and then with coach,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: you know, being having Brad out there, now we get
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: to go and really we're already having those conversations, which
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: is what was great. He was doing so much behind
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the scenes that from the outside, you know, you don't see.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: But for us, he's he's always been a huge part
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: of the offense as he's been here, and then now
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: it's you know, having those conversations about, hey, well, how
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: do you see it? You know, it's not the hypothetical,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: it's like, you know, what are you thinking? And you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: we're kind of growing into what that's gonna look like.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Starting to have a couple of live call it periods,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: which is great for just the flow for all of us,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: for Brad, just to kind of start that filling out
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: process what it's going to be like. We get to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: go back watch it, talk about it. I get to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: hear what he was thinking, just so I can kind
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: of try to be in his be in his head.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: And he's great to work with, So I'm super excited
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: for the process.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: What's it like to have Darryl Bevel here also and
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: his pedigree, his background, all he did in Seattle with
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Russell Wilson. What's the light to have him now a
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: part of this as well.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been a great sounding board for for myself,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: for everyone in QB room, really for all of us
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: on the offensive side coming in, like you said, with
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: so much experience, haven't seen so much ball, coach so
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: much goodball. So just someone who's who's you know, kind
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: of enough kind OF's lend that acknowledged to us. He's
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: familiar with the system and also familiar with some other systems,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: which is good to kind of get that fresh perspective.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And then someone that you know, after plays like I
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: kind of turned back to is like, hey, here's what
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I was thinking. And it's nice. You know, you kind
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: of get you know, when you're in the system, you know,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: you see things from one lens and I know that,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you know, I know that. Coach Harriger is like, all right,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: we're saying the same way. But it's nice, like, hey,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: here's what I was thinking this why I did this?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Like what did you see with a kind of different lens,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And he's Okay, I saw this, I saw this. You know, hey,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: do you think about it this way? Stuff like that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: So it's just great to be able to have those conversations.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: You got a greatupport system behind you for sure. Really
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: do Bryce Young talking about that support system now.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Bruce, I say about my team here, Brouh, it's great supports.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: We're just here to support you, make you look good man.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Do you know that if you have like a beard
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the fans reactor. Do you know that when you cussed
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: because you you wanted to urge your teammates on in
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: an ota that we like people get into the.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Price has got a beard and he just cussed his.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Teeth, Like, do you know they're they're calling you dangerous out?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they want to turn you into some bad.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Well I'll be the first just uh, I guess I
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: don't want to disappoint any fans. I've never intentionally trying
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: to grow a beer. I just keep getting too long
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: in between haircuts. Yeah, eventually there will be a time
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: where that comes, but I think that's still pretty far
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: down down the road. But I mean, I appreciate the support.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, I appreciate the love. It's it's it's meant
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: so much as being part of this community. You know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: we have the best fans in the country, so you know,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: just just humored stuff like that. I mean, yeah, of course,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: of course again, I you know, there's again it shows
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the passion that Karen, you know, we feel that when
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: we go out there. You know, it's not just a
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: fan base that uh whatever. You know, you feel that
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: when you come into the bank. You know, other teams
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: feel that it really helps us to create the advantage.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: We feed off of that. So no, we're I'm super grateful.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: The home field advantage was back like yest year, it
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: was back, man, that was awesome. What makes your connection
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: with jayaln cocher so special? It feels like when you've
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: been at your best. He's often involved in that when
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: he's out there and healthy gets the big contract now
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: for himself. Yeah, what what makes you guys just sort
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of right together?
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he he's he's such a hard worker,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: so versatile. He's able to do so much, whether it's
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: you know, helping him the run game going uh short, intermediate,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: deep passes, whatever it is. His attitude when it comes
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: to doing all that, his approach, it's it's it's so
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: great just to have in the in the team, in
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the locker room. Uh, he's a great guy. And then
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: just obviously what he what he brings from a football aspect,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: someone who can run every route, big physical, but can
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: also play with finess, goes and attacks the ball. Super
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: friendly for a quarterback to throw to. Yeah, having a
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: guy like like that here and I was so happy
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: for him and and really happy for us to be
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: able to keep him and for him, no one is
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: going to be him here long term. I mean that's huge.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: So yeah, he's a special guy. Now.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Fans, we were all happy for Coker too. But you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the number one most talked about contract situation is that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: over the quarterback. Everybody on the outside you probably have
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: this stuff you probably want to know ignore, but I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: all to talk on the outside nationally, locally, it's a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: big year for Bryce, he could get the contract. One
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: is have your folks talked to Dan at all? Or
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: has that not been talked about? And then I start
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: with that one.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I guess, well, yeah, for for me, it's just about uh,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: you know, letting go of trusting God. Obviously had the
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: agent's in front office. That's the business side of it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: And you know, right now, you know I'm in camp.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I'm a player. That's all that matters, you know, all
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I care about is day to day. So that's all
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: that time out here.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: You're like, I don't want to talk about it. I
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: just want to play. It is getting your head when
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you play, though, Like, do you ever sit there you're
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: going to sleep at night? Are you ever thinking? Man,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I can really get rich from this year. That doesn't
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: seem like you're personnel can't.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: That's the way I would be, right.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: No, it's you gotta and coachbarks all the time. It's
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: about the process. It's about the journey. You know, when
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: you get too caught up in end goals, and that's
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: not just with this but with with everything throughout all
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: aspects of life, even before being here. You know, it's
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: when you try to look however many years and you
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: know it's just hard. You lose track of the details.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: So we're all process oriented here. That's how I believe
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: to operate, and I'm super super grateful for the process
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I get to have.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: There you go, we've gotten. We've gotten JJ Jansen re
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: signed many times on our true if you ever need
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: an we'll get you for twenty years, although we only
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: get JJ one year deals.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, they won't go above that. All right, we got
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to wrap this up. Man, I know you got things
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: to do. I just want to say this. You are
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: probably the nicest quarterback in the league because the way
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you come back from camp, see the assembled media and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: truly ask them what did you do this summer? Like
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I just I love it. We play that on the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: show every time, and like it seems like you actually care,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: whereas I feel like most quarterbacks are like not them.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Again, You're all humans. We all got the same we
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: all got the same goal, do the same thing, just different.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: So I went on a cruise Bryce.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he didn't ask Gusta I got.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I got a puppy name Murphy.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Charity was wondering.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: You're genuine, man, You're easy to keep it up and
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: we can't wait to see y'all this year. Man.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Thanks sure, thank you for having me on. I appreciate it.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Thanks Rush,
