Mac & Bone Hour 2: Panthers/Bucs Matchups · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Variety in the run game um you know got a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: really good back um two good backs honestly and then
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: um Expecting Baker to play, he's a tough, fiery competitor,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: good quarterback. We've got a lot of respect for their
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: offense and the playmakers they have on their team, skill
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: group as well. So you have variety in the run game,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and then they have skill players that can be explosive,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: make guys miss and make plays, make explosive plays. We're
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: playing against a good offense that we have respect for,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and we just have to do our job and execute it.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: We have a Tampa Tammy appearance. Oh, by the way,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: that was Devin Lloyd, our star linebacker. Slightly important. Talking
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: about the Bucs offense. Giving praise to the Bucs offense.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: She's got a Rays playing tonight. Oh, she's a Rays fan, too.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Despite their horrible offensive ranking, Devin Lloyd with a straight face.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Praise their offense. They do get Baker back.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Fitty is going out there right now to interrogate her
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: as to whether or not this texter that calls himself
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Dan is really her or not.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: This guy says, I'm Dan. I'm a Bucs fan. Please
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: leave me alone. I'm not Tampa Tammy. Although he did
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: seem amused that we thought that he was her, but
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: he was talking trash to us. So now Fitty is
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out, get to the bottom of this
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Tampa Tammy text case.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: This is the new age Fitty, though. He's actually going
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: to get a text back from a woman this time.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: He's on fire lately.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Hey, Matty texts him back all the time, baby. No,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, this is a new year. Oh, you're saying, okay, now. Yeah,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: a year, months ago, that's what had never happened. That
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: does happen, though, doesn't it? I'm guessing, fellas out there,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: some of you have experienced this. Not really me. I'm
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: lucky to find one woman that wants me, and she's
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: also amazing. But doesn't that happen? Like, when you have
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: a woman... It seems like a lot of times that
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the women that are more attracted to you, other women
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: are more attracted.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's happening to Fitty.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: The wedding ring draws people in for some reason. When
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: I used to be married and walk around the grocery store,
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: I was a hot product.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm sure. I used to walk in and put
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: my hand in the air. I go, ladies, don't come
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: near me. I'm a married man. I didn't know if
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I was thinking you necessarily.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I know it doesn't happen to me, but I feel
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: like that is a thing that.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Happens with a lot of other men. If you're single
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: out there, put a wedding ring on, go to the
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: grocery store, and they'll gather around you.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I now need to know, Bone, I'm going to go
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: back for surveillance footage at your local grocery store back
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: when you were married and see if this has happened.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I'm now going to commission an investigation. You still put
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: my hand up like Beyonce in the video. No, I'm
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: just saying it really does.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know if it's a self-confidence thing where you
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: think people are into you or it's real, but there
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: is something there.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Also, ladies. Like Mac is.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Mac can't even walk down the hallway right now without those.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Ladies, that ain't cool, though. That also is not cool.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: That's kind of weaselly. But anyway, Fitty, did you interrogate her?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Did she indeed send the trash talk Tampa fan texts?
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: That was not the case. It was not her.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: So it's a real Tampa Dan.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: She thought she texted the show previously.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: But she had the wrong number, so she doesn't know
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: who she texted.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: She texted someone all that yapping about the Bucs. She
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: texted WBT and Zoki.
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: So I gave her the station number. She's on her
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: way home now. She said she was listening.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So now we dodged a bullet bone where she didn't
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: text us, and now Philly is just like, yeah, go ahead.
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: And just– I should have given her Flound's number.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, that would have been good.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: That would have been good.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Not to mention, that could be a cute couple, Tampa, Tammy,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: and Flound.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Could be.
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: All right, anyway, let's lock in, baby. Let's lock in.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you noticed. I don't know if
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: we're locked in right now, but we're going to lock
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Tractor beam.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield starting. Here's another one
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: saying the same thing. I don't give a damn if
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield starts. As long as Mike Evans ain't on
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that field, we good. The question is, and the question
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: is always this on a Panther Friday at 7 o'clock.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: What matchups do you feel good about? What matchups do
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you feel bad about? I guess the Baker part of
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: this is something we've got to discuss as to whether
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Baker's presence makes you feel significantly worse about our defense
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: against their offense. Let's start, Bone, with the positive stuff, though.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: What's the first matchup in this game that comes to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: mind where you feel like, yeah, I think we can
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: win that one?
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: If Winfield is not playing, that's huge. I love the
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: way the rhythm of this passing game is going. Bryce
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Young versus the secondary in the pass defense of the Buccaneers.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: There's a flip side here of the Bucs run defense,
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: but the pass defense, I think the Panthers and this
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: version of them can take big advantage of that. They
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: need a balance, but I do love that part of
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: the matchup. I love this matchup for Bryce as well.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: And I love it for T-Mac. I love it for Coker.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I do. The Bucs.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I do, I do, I do who? The Bucs pass
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: rush has not been good. Reuben Bain, according to PFF,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: has one sack and five pressures in six games. He
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: has been a big disappointment so far in Tampa. They
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: have this dude, David Walker, I expect to see more of.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: But he has played, Bone, only 57 pass rush snaps
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and leads them with four sacks and has 14 pressures.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: He's been unbelievable. So I think we're going to see
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: him more. They haven't been playing him, though. They've been
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: playing the guys that don't get any pressures.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Woo!
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: He has given up 308 yards of receiving yards. That's
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the fifth most of a corner, according to PFF. So
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: whoever he's covering, I know McCollum's been really good on
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the other side. McCollum actually did a great job against
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Chase and Lamb. They held both those dudes to two catches.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: But Parrish has been getting lit up. Yeah, I think
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Bryce and I said it yesterday. I have no problem
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: bone with passing to open up the run. They've been
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: doing it all season. And Tampa is such a good
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: run defense that I don't know if you want to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: come out and just bang your head into a brick wall.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: You know, I think if you I think you can
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: loosen that defense up a little bit if you hit
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: him with some big passing plays.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Not exactly a playmaking defense. You mentioned the thing that
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: stood out to me also was, yeah, the only one
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: guy with multiple sacks. How about who their INT leader
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: is this year with two? A'shaun Robinson leads them in
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: picks with two right now.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: That's crazy.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: So it's not exactly a turn-you-over playmaking defense right now.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: That's crazy, no doubt about it. Somebody said, I'm worried
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: about the blitz. We said this yesterday, Bowles' third most
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: blitzes percentage-wise in the NFL, and that's no surprise. That's
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: his MO, 42%. But Aaron Rodgers had a 92 rating
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: against their blitz. Jordan Love had a 144 rating against
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: their blitz. Now Dak looked terrible. That got a 51
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: rating against their blitz. But Bryce has been good against
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the blitz this year. 91 rating, three touchdowns, zero picks.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: So I think... Yeah, how does Todd Bowles, who's a...
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: I say bring it on.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Todd Bowles, one of the heaviest blitzers ever. Does he
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: have to scale that back a little bit? Because Bryce
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: is so good right now when you pressure him. That's
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: an interesting chess match in this game. Todd Bowles and
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: the blitz. How much did he use it in this game?
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: versus Bryce Young countering the Blitz. Yeah, I don't think he...
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure he's a holding back guy.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: He's not exactly Brian Flores who has Blitzers go after
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: the opposing quarterback when he gets off the plane at
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the airport in Minnesota. But I would be very surprised because, again,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think they have enough natural pass rush bone
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: with four.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I think he likes doing it, but I think he
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: also probably feels like I have to.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: The.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Stopping the run and containing Bucky Irvin on the other
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: side obviously would be a concern, but it's also a
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: huge part of this game, Mac, because you want Baker
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: to have to throw the ball a lot with that
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: thumb situation. He's got the glove from the raise. He
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: hasn't played much lately. I want Baker thrown as much
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: as possible. Don't let him just be able to rely
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: on the run and throw when he has to. Make
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: him have to throw more than he wants to. That's
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: going to be huge in this game.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: If you make them one-dimensional, it's hard. Bucky Irving's been
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: running the ball really well. They obviously lit up Dallas.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: The only win they had this year, you pointed out yesterday,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: is because of that ground game, because they went off
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: for 200-plus yards. The Panthers, it's been a storyline this
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: week in the press conferences. Canales and Avero have been
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: asked about it, how good they've been against the run
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: since giving up 291 to the Bears. The last three weeks,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: for example, they're third in run defense. The last two weeks,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: they're first. Like they, so this is a collision course
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: and I feel, Oh, by the way, John and Gibbs
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: were in that, that, that area of the season.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: 100%, 100%.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Now you Phillips, you don't just lose something as a
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: pass rusher. You lose a good run defender on the edge,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: but I feel like we can hold them in check. Um,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: this texter says, if you're not a little bit worried
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: that Baker's coming back and going to be salty about
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: a one in five record, you're lying. Do you agree
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: with that? Or do you think we should be tough
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: guys about not.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Being worried about Baker?
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: I think it tells you how big this game is
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: for them. the Bucs that he's playing in this game.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: And I do think that there's a level of desperation.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: I think that might be the thing, Matt, I'm concerned
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: with the most. It might not be.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: This area of the game, or this area, it is
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: the level.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: Of desperation that Baker will have, that Bowles will have,
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: that this team will have, because not to use up
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: all of our pirate analogies back in one hour, but
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: they are on the plank right now. We can push
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: them off and essentially end their season, maybe end Todd Bowles.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: A lot of times we do see, hey, NFL's weird.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: It gets weird when a team's coming off desperation, playing
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: a team, feeling good about itself. So I just think
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: that the vibes are what I would worry about the most,
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: more than the actual individual matchup.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: How many times is the saying said, you know, the
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: desperate team, you know, pick the desperate team in the
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: NFL or, you know, beware of the, however you want
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: to phrase that. It does feel like their season is
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: on the line, any chance to salvage their season. And
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: it feels like we got a chance to bury the
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: team that for years was the king of the South.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: And I just am so excited about that. I just
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: want to stick a fork in these dudes. I want
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: to say it's our division. It's not yours. Your has been,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, I want them to make that statement on
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: the field, but I'm not, I don't.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Want that pirate booty. I'm saying like, I'm going to bet,
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: I'm going to bet, I'm going to bet, I'm going
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: to bet on the Panthers.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I thought you were talking about the cheese puff snack.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: That's what I thought you were talking about. That's a
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: pretty good snack, y'all.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: At Byron's Booty.
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: Not bad.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Let's see what the texters are saying. We're discussing matchups
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: you like. We both felt like Bryce, the passing game,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the tight ends. Alex Anzalone bone. And he's got the
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: middle now because, you know, completely because Roseboom is out. Um,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Anzalone bone has a, like a 35 PFF. Again, I know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I know PFF grades are not the end all and
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: the be all, but this one's so bad. It's got
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to be mentioned a 35 PFF grade overall, a 30
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: coverage grade. He's given up 25 completions into his coverage
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: on 30 attempts, 10 yards an attempt. So, like, you
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: think the tight ends can do some work against him?
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Or over the middle of the field against their zone coverage?
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: With him dropping? 25 for 30? 25 for 30.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Good. 10 yards an attempt.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: And I know, listen, a lot of the passes in
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: the linebacker coverage will be higher percentage because they're shorter.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: But that's still, that's rough, man. So it's like, I just,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I love it for a pass game. Let's see what
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: people are saying. I mean, Spoiled Lettuce says use Tampa's
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: desperation against them, Boney.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: What do you think about that? Well, how, how does that,
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: how do you counter the desperation? Do you play more desperate?
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know. You get them down and then the
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: desperation turns into like panic. I don't know.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I feel like I need a follow-up text from old
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Spoiled Lettuce there.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: How do you go about that? We need a desperation expert.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: Who's desperate out there?
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: Oh, no.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: What is that?
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: No. Poor Flounder. I knew it. I didn't say Flounder.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Poor Flounder. I didn't say Flounder.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: You weren't trying to set someone up for poor Flounder.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: No, I did not say Flounder.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, God.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Why did you think Flounder?
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Whoa.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: I wonder why. Why did you play Flounder? I wonder why.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: I didn't say Flounder. I wonder why. Oh, my God,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: you two. That's his best friend and his radio uncle. Oh,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: my gosh.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: A lot of people say- I want it on the record.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: I was not meaning Flounder. I just meant in general.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay.
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: Okay, okay.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Dr.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Suave saying what multiple texters are saying. Will Bryce become
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: the Reaper again and get someone fired? Do you think
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Bowles could be fired at 1-6 if the Panthers win?
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I think the only chance of that is if it's
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: a complete embarrassing rout, like a 30-point win or something.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Or do they have a few more weeks with Baker back?
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: That's my feeling. Because they're going to say, well, Baker
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: just came back. They're playing a hot team. I think
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: he's going anyway, so it could be one where it
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: just might be a foregone conclusion.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: It might be the end of the year at this point.
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: What's their schedule like? What's coming up? What do they have? Well,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: they do play at home against Atlanta. Excuse me.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: They play at home versus Atlanta next week. If they
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: lose back-to-back division games, maybe we get them right to
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: the edge.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: And Atlanta pushes them over, maybe?
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I could see that.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Maybe Bryce passes the pinks along to Bijan. They also
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: have a bye week, week 10, middle of November. I
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: wonder if that, maybe a bye week change there at
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: that point in the season. End of the stretch without him, maybe.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: This texter says, why would anybody be worried about Baker Mayfield?
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Y'all know that that thumb on his throwing hand will
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: affect him. They might not have Godwin or Ibuka, and
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: there's no Mike Evans.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Godwin doesn't really affect anything they're doing anymore, and also
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: he's 6-1 versus the Panthers, so he does have success
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: against us.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: So keep that in mind. I mean, Godwin's still got
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: 20-something catches, doesn't he? I feel like it's just that
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: he's only at 9.4 yards a catch, and he's whining.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: He was complaining this week about his lack of a
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: big role. He's got no touchdowns either. He doesn't have
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: 50 yards in seven straight games. So to your point,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Ibuka also doesn't average 10 yards a catch. But three
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: of those games were with Jalen Daniels, who is just
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: not up to the passing standard at this point. in
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: his career as a rookie free agent. Listen, would I
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: rather play the undrafted rookie? Yes, but to your point
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: about the weapons around him and Bone's point about how
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: those weapons haven't even been dangerous when they played, I just,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I don't find Baker as scary as he's been in
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the past.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: On some of those other Tampa teams, man. But I
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: also am not on here.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not doing some sort of lock city, you know,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: three scores galore routine. Like I don't feel like we're
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: blowing them out.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's only, it's only a three point spread
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: at home, three and a half point spread at home.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: So it's not like they're overwhelming favorites. That's the, the
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: home number advantage. So it, Vegas views it as relatively even.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: So keep that in mind. I'm not saying that I don't,
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying the Panthers are losing. I just, I'm
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: not going to sit here like you and go, I'm
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: not going to brigade. I'm not going to lock this
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: thing up. I don't think anyone on this show is
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: going to go, go war here.
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: Right, Finney?
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, right. You'll have to find out when we panther
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: up later.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: In the show.
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: That's right, baby.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: All coming up at 9 o'clock later today. Do we
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: panther up?
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Do we galore?
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: Fiddy's gone four meals galore at his girlfriend's house this week.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: We don't think Fiddy's been home in weeks back at
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: his own house.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Poor Maumau.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Maumau doesn't know where this guy is. Maumau's lost Fiddy
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: to a new love. It's sad for Maumau. Maumau has
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: the pool ready. Although I guess it'd be a little
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: cold for the pool.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: The pool was closed.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: It's amazing how she told me when I moved in
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: with her, you need to find a woman.
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: You need to find a life. All you do is
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: sit around and watch sports. I have now found a life.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: I have found something other than sports. Well, you need
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: to get back to being who you are. You're not
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: the same person you used to be. You can't make
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: this woman happy.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: She's a little upset.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: We're going to send Weatherman Mark over there.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: They can hang out together.
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: No.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Watch TV, hang out, look at the turbines. So you
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: can't make Momo happy?
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: No.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: And she's not somebody's wife?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: No.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: Uh-oh.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Uh-oh. If Mrs. Mac's in the car, I may, I may,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: the locks may be changed when I get home.
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I did that. Why did I
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: do that?
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: You'll finally be on my couch, Mac.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Dream achieved. I'll finally be watching in the man cave
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: with y'all. Oh, my God. Why did I feel the
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: need to do that? If anyone can take Mac in
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: this weekend for a few nights... Oh, my wife's great.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Wives are great. Why did I do that?
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: When we come back, we're going to go to break
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: and try to clean all this up. We've got a
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: lot of popping. When we come back, Lee Sterling, ParamountSports.com.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Is he going to Panther up this week? He's been
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: hot lately on the Panthers. We'll ask Sports Radio.
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: 92.7 WFNZ.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ JMUMAT.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Has done a very rare thing, Bone, for the Mack
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: and Bone and WFNZ texters. He is accountable after a loss.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: He was talking trash yesterday about App. He says, I
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: feel the need to text in and eat my own crow.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Well done, App State. App State, big upset win last
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: night in.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: OT at the Rock, man. It was.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Now, Mack, we don't keep track of who's accountable, but
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: I do believe that a number of Georgia fans have
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: gone missing this week.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Has somebody been kidnapping Georgia fans from the Charlotte area?
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: I think you agree. Yeah, that's what fans do. I
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: want to look it up here. Okay, Georgia John Mack. Yeah,
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: I guess he's there, kind of, but not really. Arrogant
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Georgia fan. Like, a lot of these Georgia fans, I
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: don't know what happened. We could ask Lee. Did something
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: happen where Georgia fans would not want to be on
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: the show this week?
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe Lee knows something about it. All right, anyway, I
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: want people to know. We're getting to Lee Sterling in
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: a second. Arrogant Georgia fan hasn't texted in a week.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: He's got nothing to be arrogant about this week. I
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: do want App State fans to know you're getting your shine.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: We opened the show with y'all. You're getting your shine
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: at 745. We're going to salute App State. for a
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: awesome upset win last night and ecu i think y'all
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: should be livid i think you should be angry we'll
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: talk about that they're tough loss in overtime to memphis
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: as well right now let's bring in lee sterling who
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: is uh who's going to uh help you win some
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: money this weekend he's going to help us pick some
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: games including that panthers bucks game we've been talking a
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: lot about lee sterling paramount sports and paramount sports.com lee
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: how you feeling man what's going.
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: On I feel good. I lost a couple pounds last Sunday.
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: on those 1 o'clock games. So check this out. Just
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: picture this. I give out Carolina. They got a nice
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: big lead over Philly, right? Feeling pretty good about that game.
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: Got New Orleans over the Giants. You know, I'm feeling
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: great there after that 35-35. And then I've got Chicago
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: against Atlanta. So those are my three early games. And
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: my wife is sitting there. She goes, how are we looking?
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: I said, you know, good in all three games. She
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: comes back like 10 minutes later and she's like, what's
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: all the yelling and hollering? I'm like, we just had like.
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: touchdown scored against us unanswered in all these games and
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: I said we could lose two and push on one
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: if each team scores another touchdown she goes I just
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: can't take this anymore all these ups and downs and
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: walks out and I'm like honey that's the NFL that's
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: why we keep coming back.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: You were good though in all three right you ended
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: up all good right oh yeah.
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah I won all three but I lost like I
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: lost four and a half pounds in 35 minutes.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: The scariest thing for me on Sunday, especially Sundays, is
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: when I'm winning three or four games early, I think there's–
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: how is this going to sustain? I'm winning all these games.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: It never fails. That chaos just seems to happen right afterwards.
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: Well, it's like with your dog. You're good for like 30,
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: 40 minutes, and you know– all hell's going to break
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: loose eventually.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: You're waiting for– yeah, you're exactly right. You're waiting for–
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: NFL gambling is like waiting for your shoes to be chewed.
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get into– Absolutely. Hypothetically.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Lee says absolutely. All right, so let's get into some
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: of these games. We'll start, as always, with the college games.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Noon tomorrow, Miami coming off that scare with the Noles
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: last week. 20.5-point favorites against a Pittsburgh team that has
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: now started two different backup quarterbacks since Heichel went out.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Lost both of those games to UNC and BC. Is
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Miami going to cover? That's a big number, but are
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: they going to cover?
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: No love lost between these two coaches. I mean, you
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: saw what was going on in the offseason. I mean,
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: it got ugly. Pit coach, I mean, he was making
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: some pretty strong accusations. You know, they were trying to
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: tell for his quarterback, who's now hurt. The weather, that's
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: a big factor. You know, it certainly helped, I think,
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: Florida State some last week, pouring rainstorm for the first half.
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: Could be some weather. I'm guessing maybe not here, but
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: these two backups are so bad. One touchdown and four interceptions.
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: in two games. One of the guys was a backup
• 22:28
  Speaker 8: at my alma mater, Texas State. Shows you how bad.
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: I think the kid decided he's on his fourth school.
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: He's like, oh, well, I'm going to get my grad degree.
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: Maybe I'll just go out for the football team. Somehow
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: he became the backup. It's a disaster, a quarterback here.
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: If they had a quarterback, I would take Pitt here
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: in the 10 points. I think, believe it or not,
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: he's worth at least 10 points. I think Miami romps here.
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: Miami's got some injuries, but They will get a couple
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: guys back in the defensive backfield. I think Miami puts
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: a number on them. Also like the over. I like
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: Miami here, something like 42-14.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: Lee, I'm not here to talk about the past. I'm
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: here to talk about these games. The Heels won last week.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: They are now 10-point favorites over Syracuse. What is the
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: play here for a now intriguing Heels team?
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and Syracuse, you know, they're rotating between four different guys.
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: Whoever can hop. We're not talking about totally health-free, just
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: can hop all over the field and maybe play a series.
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: But that's a real big problem here. But North Carolina,
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: their defense, they usually feast on bad quarterbacks, and they're
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: doing enough. Edwards is moving around. You know, in his past,
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: he would throw a lot of interceptions, a couple of
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: his last stops. But I think they've figured it out.
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: They got Miami next week, big game. But I think
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: they'll have a big enough lead here where they'll feel
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: pretty comfortable. I'm going to lay the 10 points here.
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: With Bill's boys, North Carolina here, 37-18. All right, there.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: You go, Heels fans. Lee Sterling is with us breaking
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: down games like he does every Friday. But if you
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: want to find his picks for his clients and be
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: one of his clients, he's been doing great this season. ParamountSports, ParamountSports.com. Lee,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Lions Packers, a very interesting one this week in that
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: 425 or so window. Lions, a three-point favorite.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and I love one side here. I love the
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: Detroit side here. They're all of a sudden getting healthy,
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: going to get back one of their key linebackers, one
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: of their defensive backs, and coming off the bye. We've
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: seen that most teams are faring really well. The players
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: are out of the building for five days, but coaches,
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: they get a couple extra days to game plan, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: it's been a difference here. I know Green Bay's looked
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: good the last couple weeks. I still think that they're weak.
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: They lost before this run the last two weeks. Key linebacker,
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: key offensive lineman again. Now they're down three starting offensive linemen.
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: So I think it's going to be tough for Green Bay.
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: And I just think Detroit's offense might be the best
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: or second best in the league behind Chicago. So you've
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: got to lay it if you want to play it.
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: It's at home here in a shootout like Detroit here, 45-35.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Lee, we have a Paris game on Sunday. Steelers, Saints.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: Steelers favored by three and a half. What side is
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: the right play here?
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: I had a friend call me from Paris, and he's
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: not a football fan. He goes, what's going on? Is
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: there some kind of convention going on? All these people
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: wearing a lot of black and different shades of gold
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: and yellow. I said, yeah, it's the Steelers against the Saints.
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: It's the French quarter against the terrible towel. So it
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: should be a fun game. Both fan group bases pretty passionate.
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: Difference here is I think Tyler Shug just does not
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: look good. you know, he's barely completed 50% of his
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: passes last week in that game, uh, that they put
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: up 35 points. I thought the defense kind of fueled
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: that also the running game. And I don't know if
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: they're going to be able to crank up that running
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: game here against this Pittsburgh defense. So, uh, they early
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: and often Pittsburgh and show you so many looks and
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: that offensive line might have some problems. So, uh, In Paris, yeah,
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: early on Sunday. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers here 24-14.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: I would love to see that. It would be a
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: good way, Bo, to get our Sunday morning going.
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: No doubt.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: I'm going to eat that while having French toast. There
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: you go. All right, let's go.
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: You've got to have some beignets, guys.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Beignets? There you go. I was trying to eat healthy.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: A little croissant. I was trying to eat healthy, Lee.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Come on, please.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Healthy. Do they call it French toast there, or is
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: it just toast?
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: These are the thought-provoking questions that you ask. All right, Lee,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I know your game of the week is Cowboys-Eagles. That
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Monday night game next week, two really desperate teams. But
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: let's talk Panthers-Bucks first. Panthers right around the field goal
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: favorite at home. What do you think about that one?
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: It looks like Baker Mayfield is going to play in
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: this game. So I tried to play one time with
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: a broken pinky finger in my throwing hand. And he's
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: going to try to go here. with a broken finger
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: in his hand, I think it's going to be tough. So,
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: you know, he's a tough guy, and he hangs in there,
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: and he takes a beating here. But defense has been good.
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: They're going to have to, I think, run the football
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: on offense, keep this Carolina offense off the field here.
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: Difference here is Bryce Young's on a roll here. He
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: has more than half the yards than he had last
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: year in 16 games. so far in five games. So
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: 11-2 touchdown to interception ratio. Buck's defense has been good
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: as usual, but the pass defense has been their clear
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: weakness here. And I think Young's the type of thrower
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: that can hurt them in the short passing game. I'm
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: going to keep riding the Carolina Panthers, 27-20. It's going
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: to be a no-no.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Victory for the Panthers. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> Oh, man.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: I think my voice went out there on that one. Lee,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: you're all right over there. I'm okay.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Lee, he also has some sort of hand gesture cheer
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: that he does. as well when he chants.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: Lee obviously that's what duke fans used to do for
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: lee melchioni back in the early 2000s oh.

• 28:42
  Speaker 8: a half rushing yards against seattle i think seattle knows
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: him inside and out i think they're going to make
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: Kansas City push the ball down the field. I mean,
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: they got one receiver that's a legitimate receiver on the team.
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: All the rest of these guys, because of injuries or
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: practice squad guys or wouldn't even be dressing out. So
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: under 84 and a half rushing yards. And I know
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: it's tough. He's run for 665 yards. Every time he's
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: suited up this year, he's the top four NFL running
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: back as far as Fantasy points, but not this Sunday
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: here under 84.5 rushing yards for Kenneth Walker. And how
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: about this game of the week, Cowboys and Eagles? This
• 29:21

  Speaker 3: Sweating it out. Did you see Ishmael's latest Fitty text? No,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: I just I don't read all those. I just they're
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: too hurtful.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: He said he was talking about sweating out, like losing
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: a few pounds because he was sweating out his plays
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: in the NFL games. Ishmael says finish his start betting

  Speaker 5: Fitty's looking good, man. He's got that head shaved. That
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: shaved head is so money. He's been dressing like a champion.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: This guy's on a different level right now. This girl, Maddie,
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: she's changing him. She's making him. I mean, she is
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: taking Fitty to the next level.
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: What level is that? Oh, my God. No, I'm asking.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: You said another level, so what level was he at?
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Wasn't a slam.
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: Average.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Somewhere below Clooney, okay? I'll still say that. Phinney, are
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: you feeling this good? Like, we feel like you are
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: in a good place, baby.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: You feeling this? You're oozing machismo right now.
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, life is good, guys.
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: I'm also dressed nice because I got to go to
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: Spectrum tonight and do Hornets pregame engineering.
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: So I had to look decent because I got to
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: make a public out.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: What an honor that is. There you go. The esteemed
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Travis Hancock will have the.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: Bone, you hanging out for the game on Media Row
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: with me and Willie?
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: I got my buzz bucks. I'm not there for small talk.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Buzz bucks.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: When we come back, App State pulls off a huge upset,
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: and ECU comes so close to doing the same. We
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: recap the game from last night, and the search is
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: on for happy appies. Sports Radio 92.7.
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: Handed them their first loss of the season in overtime.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: How'd you do it?
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: I think it was an incredible effort by our players.
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: They never stopped believing. They got hard for a little while.
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: We had to go in, kind of calm everyone down
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: in the second half. So much credit goes to these guys.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: They played their hearts out.
• 32:49
  Speaker 9: We're a really good football team, but tonight we were
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: the best football team. Your defense unable to get the
• 32:55
  Speaker 9: stop at the end of regulation.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: They get it in overtime when it matters most.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: What do you see from their response?
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: Just an unbelievable response right there.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: We talked about it.
• 33:04
  Speaker 9: The guys over here, Colton Ferris, we remember last year
• 33:07
  Speaker 9: and how that game went. We had a lot to
• 33:10
  Speaker 9: play for.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: And I'm so proud.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Of these guys.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: They played their hearts out.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Look around right now, coach.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: The field is filled.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: With out-of-state fans. A signature win for your program.
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: What does this mean?
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: It means everything.
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: It's an awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome night for us.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Love you guys. We love you.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Hopefully you heard that okay. That's off Brad Crawford's TV, essentially.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Brad Crawford of CBS tweeted that out. Good thing he
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: didn't change the channel. It's not the greatest quality in
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: the world, but if you're an app fan, you don't
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: give a damn. That is a huge win for Dow Loggins.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: That is the signature win so far for Dow Loggins
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: in his year plus. App now 5-2. It's a legit,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: really good football team. And they were 12. Was it,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: was it 12 and a half by the time they
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: kicked off? By the time the game kicked off, that
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: was the spread.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: 12 and a half point dogs at the rock and
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: they get it done against JMU.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: And I sat there for a while and I'm like, man, I,
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: I don't, I think that was a debated one. And
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: I took JMU on the money line. I started to
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: feel that spread's getting a little high there and I
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: probably should have bet it, but I did it. But yeah, that,
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: that was a massive, massive win for Dow Loggins and
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: trying to, reestablish not only who they are at home,
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: but just that program of you're not going to push
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: App State around a little bit.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: I love it, man. I love it.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, this team's different than last year's team
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: that faded down the stretch. This team's defense, I mean,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: how can you not love the play of Ferris at linebacker?
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: The guy had another pick last night. He's just a
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: damn playmaker, batting down balls on third down, making a
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: big tackle out in the flat on third down. The
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: App defense was ridiculous on third down last night. And
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: they made they had the I think it was McMorrow
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: had the big TFL that pushed JMU back in overtime,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: made their field goal 46 yarder. They missed it. And
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: App State ends up nailing it, nailing the kick. And
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: their kicker was freaking money all night. London was money
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: all night. And I guarantee you they're still partying in Boone.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: They went they were going crazy at the rock. That
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: was like that was that's what the rock supposed to
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: be like right there, man.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: JMU fifth in points per game in the country. And
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: I thought they did a great job defensively because it
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: started out a little bit, oh, JMU scored early. Are
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: they going to get run? Is that 12 and a half?
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Doesn't make sense now. But App State stayed the course
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: and really, especially their third down defense, two for 15,
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: JMU was on third down last night.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Dude, they stuffed the running game too. I mean, knocked
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Petway out of the game.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: That was– There was a couple scary JMU injuries late
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: in that game, but 3.1 yards of carry allowed. Camden Coleman,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: their starting quarterback, 5.9 yards at attempt. This had been
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: an offense that had been averaging over 40 points a
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: game in the Sun Belt.
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: They averaged 207 after last night, though, but They average
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: over 200 yards a game on the ground.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: They are top 20 in the country in that category.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Held a 92 in 3.1 yards a carry. Singleton was
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: dealing in that second half. That kid can throw the football,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: and I love it, man. I said at the start
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: of the show, and we got to read a bunch
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: of texts because app fans are going crazy.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: We also need to address these. I cannot believe.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: that ECU fans have not been texting in about that
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: garbage PI call, by the way, in overtime.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: But we'll get to that in a second. Well, you
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: got an ECU fan. Wake up! Wake up!
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Is that what's going on? Too much time drinking late night?
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: But the Henry Hasselbeck stuff kind of wasn't.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Working, Bone.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: There were times where I'm like... Just keep Singleton in there.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: He's driving them down the field. Here we are at
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: the 18 and now you put Hasselbeck in and it
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: kind of takes the flow away, but I'll be damned
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: if Henry Hasselbeck didn't boot and hit the tight end
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: for a huge touchdown.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: The second half app fans.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: I hope this y'all been all over Dow Loggins on
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: our text line this week.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: I hope, I hope this makes you believe.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: I think he's, He's doing a hell of a job
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: with Singleton as a guy that's an OC and a
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: quarterback's coach.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: And that defense, man, is back to the standard, or
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: at least close to the standard.
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: I think he's always going to maximize the most out
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: of whatever quarterback that he has.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: I think that's going to be his specialty.
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: If you're an app fan, how much better does 5-2
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: feel with the win that puts you at 5-2, as
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: opposed to what a loss would have felt like back
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: at 4-3? Because at 5-2, played State well... Old Dominion
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: seems like a fluke based off circumstance. And now you
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: look at five and two, it just feels so much
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: different for app one game.
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: But it feels like it's a different world of five
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: and two for five and two. And that one win
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: is a major one. This was the team bone that
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: they kept putting the graphic up last night was the
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: ESPN FBI favorite to make the playoff again as the
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: group of six rep. And then you just went out
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: there and just and got them in your own place.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: and gave your fans a moment like that, like the
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: old days. So let's read some of these. App State
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Haste says, don't let the door hit you on the
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: way out. Dukes, we've got Market Size Matters that says,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: let's see here, 131st in strength of schedule. They are
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: who we thought they were. You also have, Bo, now
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: this is a fairly shameless move by our guy. What's
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: our guy? He's got a big, long name. Mountaineer Rick, a.k.a.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Scorch of the Blue Ridge. This man, Bo. That doesn't
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: fit on the back of his Texas jersey. This man
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: says he's loving app winning. He says he was driving yesterday,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: so he didn't have a chance to submit his lock
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: city against JMU.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: That's a little fishy, isn't it? I believe that goes
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: against the rules of the city. They'll throw you in
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: prison in lock city jail for that. Uh, sir.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Loin who roots for like six teams. I think apps,
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: one of them, he says, sir. Loin of near nation
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: is fired up about that huge win. Although he played
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: ball at app.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Didn't he?
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: Who?
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Loin.
• 39:04
  Speaker 8: Did he?
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Loin play football at app. Didn't he fit?
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: That's news to me.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: You didn't know that? I had no clue. I said, Loing,
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: text us up. I just found out his name is
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Paul like a week ago.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I swear Loing played ball at App.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: I don't think this text, though, is something that really happened, though,
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: what he said there.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: What'd he say? That wind feels like a bubble bath
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: with Sidney Sweeney. I'm just surprised. And you have a
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: reference point there?
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: To that?
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Hey, we're just happy you're taking baths, all right? Oh,
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: my God.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Anyway, Mdog says, did Mac just come at someone for
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: rooting for six teams?
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: That's a fair point.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Duly noted, sir. Duly noted. It was written down.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: App State Zach is very excited to hear that Loyne
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: is a fellow App State alum. That's a celebrity alum. Yeah,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: he says he played football.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: I think linebacker? We said he played football.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: We didn't say he graduated. Don't give him too much credit.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: All right, so ECU. You talk about fans, Bone, not
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: being out there on the text line. I hadn't seen
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: an ECU fan all day. And, like, I get it
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: if you disappear after.
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: A loss, right?
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Like, two overtime losses, two blown leads, and overtime losses
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: on Thursday night games, that would have been a huge win,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: a huge get. Again, Memphis team, that was a double-digit favorite,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: and it's on the road. And I get it if
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: you're bummed out. I would have thought we at least
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: got some angry text. That overtime interception, the dude pushed
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: sides of the receiver aside and then caught the football
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: and then went to the house with it. Like, not
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: to the end zone. I mean, like, went home. Anyway,
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: I thought that was blatant. I thought that was blatant P.I.
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought they got screwed there, and I have
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: not seen one app fan get mad about it. I
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: have not seen Salty Pirate all day. He basically gave
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: up on the season after the game last week, I guess.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: We talk about how much better do you feel if
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: you're a fan? Well, if you would have won that
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: game before you see you last night, how would you
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: have felt if you split the you blew the game
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: last week and it sucks to lose the way you
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: did to come back and get a big win against Memphis? But,
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: you know, it feels like you're you're feeling the same
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: two weeks in a row here. What could have been
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: in the game? They also much like JMU. Rough night
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: on third down for the Pirates. 5-17 on third down
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: last night. That was their big issue.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Obviously, the quarterback stuff, they can't find a consistent player.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Griffiths did a lot of good things when he came in,
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: but here they go again. They went to Emery Williams
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: for the central game. Now they go back to Mitch
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Griffiths when Williams starts 5-13. You can't feel good about that.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: They did run the ball pretty damn well. A buck
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: 61 last night. The defense... The defense was so good.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Memphis is literally, I think bone, like a top 10,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: top 12. I don't know the exact number offense.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: They are, they are.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, that, that is a lot of firepower. They
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: held them to three points at halftime. They're up 16,
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: three that, that proud ECU defense got ripped to shreds
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: at the second half. Stokes and those boys put up
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: 38 in the second half against them.
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: And they came out with a completely different mindset than
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: they did in the first half. They right away, they
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: knew that their playoff hopes took a real big hit already,
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: but they came out and said, hey, man, Memphis, our
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: season's on the line.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: They came out gunslinging in the second half. Right away,
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: they scored.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Buckeye Dave says... That's why I started to get worried
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: about ECU. Buckeye Dave says, wait, there's ECU fans? Question mark? Yeah,
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: there's one right here in the text line named Pork
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: and Beans.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: They're so.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Buckeye fans, ECU fans, welcome to this world if you
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: haven't been in it already.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: Buckeye fans, so arrogant. Speaking of looking for a quarterback...
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: So arrogant. Speaking of looking for a quarterback, good luck
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: to you, Ohio State fans. Oh, man.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Pork and Beans says, as an ECU alum, if we
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: don't lose our quarterback last year to NIL, we may
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: still be undefeated. Yeah, it was hard not for me
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: to think... With Caden Couser on this team.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: Caden Houser, yeah. Caden Houser on this team, they'd be
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: pretty damn good.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: They'd be pretty damn good.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: Caden Couser, I think, would be an upgrade. And I
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: don't even know who that is. I don't mean to
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: disrespect Mr. Beans here.
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: You said undefeated. I don't think you were beating Alabama,
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: no matter who your quarterback was week one.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: That's true. That's fair.
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: I just want to be fair about this. I don't
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: want to disrespect Mr. Pork or Beans.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Chad from Greenville, or do we have to do Vole?
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Do you do Greenville for North Carolina?
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: Or no? Or is that a Ville, Thaddeus? Is that
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: a Ville or a Ville? That's a Ville, right?
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, to me, it's a Ville.
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: All right. Can you send me the notes on what's
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: a Ville and what's a Ville?
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: The only one that's a Ville to me is Louisville.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: That's the only one? Not Cheriville?
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: And I guess Cheriville.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: So how do they become Villes? Do they have to
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: go sign up for that? Anyway, I digress.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: Chad from Greenville says, I thought our wide receiver gave up.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: I didn't think it was PI. He shoved him. Like
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: he just completely took one arm and just shoved. I
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: can't believe, Bone, all the time that people on the
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: text line complain about refs and we tell them, chill out,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: you're whining. I'm actually trying to find Pirate fans complaining
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: about the refs and I can't find them.
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: Someone on the text line says, where's the app stable of? Well,
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: we just did that. Check out the podcast.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: Tons of it. Tons of it, baby. Apple and Spotify,
