- 0:31Speaker 2: he'll take it in for the.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Touchdown.
- 0:36Speaker 4: 6.39 to play. Faked the handoff. Young looking for the
- 0:39Speaker 4: kill shot. Touchdown, Tommy Trimble. Number two for the tight end.
- 0:46Speaker 2: And the Panthers might be dancing their way out of
- 0:49Speaker 2: Philadelphia with a W. For Dave Canales and company, they
- 0:54Speaker 2: move to 3-2. Young takes the knee, and that will
- 1:01Speaker 2: do it. Quality road win for the Carolina Panthers. They
- 1:05Speaker 2: keep it rolling, and they.
- 1:06Speaker 4: Get it done in Philadelphia, 25-14.
- 1:15Speaker 5: Oh, man, it feels good to get a dub and
- 1:23Speaker 5: knock the birdies out in Philadelphia.
- 1:26Speaker 6: A lot to talk about after that win. Not all
- 1:29Speaker 6: of it's pretty, but a lot to talk about after
- 1:32Speaker 6: that win. In the city, a brotherly love. I think
- 1:36Speaker 6: the referees were showing those flags a little too much love.
- 1:39Speaker 6: You don't have to use them every play, fellas. But
- 1:42Speaker 6: we got the win. Ended up with an 11-point win
- 1:44Speaker 6: on the road with 149 yards worth of penalties. I
- 1:49Speaker 6: think that shows growth, kind of, sort of. We'll talk
- 1:52Speaker 6: about it. We'll talk about Tommy Tremble. We will talk
- 1:55Speaker 6: about Shuba Hubbard. We will talk about our linebackers that
- 1:59Speaker 6: were tremendous. Jiro Avero is a blitzing fool now, y'all.
- 2:04Speaker 6: Everybody that wanted the Madden-style defensive strategy, which is about 97%
- 2:09Speaker 6: of you, which is to blitz, blitz, blitz, blitz, blitz.
- 2:13Speaker 6: Fifty seven percent blitzes yesterday. A lot of success doing it, too.
- 2:17Speaker 6: So we'll talk about it all here today. Bryce Young,
- 2:20Speaker 6: the stats, maybe maybe his worst stats of the season.
- 2:24Speaker 6: It's 281 passing, two touchdowns and no interceptions. I think
- 2:27Speaker 6: that shows growth as well. So we get a lot
- 2:30Speaker 6: to talk about. We have a college football Saturday that
- 2:33Speaker 6: literally might be the greatest Saturday.
- 2:35Speaker 4: I have ever seen in my life. And I'm old
- 2:38Speaker 4: as hell.
- 2:38Speaker 6: And it may be the greatest one I've ever seen.
- 2:41Speaker 6: If your team lost a rivalry game, you might disagree.
- 2:43Speaker 6: I'm more of a Sunday guy. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. Just
- 2:47Speaker 6: big picture what happened on Saturday was unbelievable viewing. There
- 2:52Speaker 6: is not a sport like it. on the planet. There
- 2:54Speaker 6: is not. Bone is with us. Fitty is with us.
- 2:58Speaker 6: One of those enjoyed Saturday more than the others. So anyway,
- 3:01Speaker 6: we get a lot of stuff to talk about. What's up, Bonesy?
- 3:04Speaker 7: First of all, good morning to everyone involved in the
- 3:07Speaker 7: show today, whether you're listening or on.
- 3:10Speaker 4: The show.
- 3:12Speaker 7: I think a wise man once said, a great poet
- 3:14Speaker 7: once said, ugly is the new beautiful. And that describes
- 3:18Speaker 7: the Panthers' win yesterday. I think Butterbean said that, the
- 3:22Speaker 7: boxing legend, I think, at one point. Butterbean, the boxer
- 3:26Speaker 7: slash poet. Somebody ugly said it. Maybe I said it.
- 3:28Speaker 4: I don't know. Someone said it. Did someone say that?
- 3:30Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 3:31Speaker 7: But it's apropos for what we feel yesterday. Not the
- 3:34Speaker 7: prettiest win, but it's a damn win, and that's all
- 3:37Speaker 7: we care about.
- 3:38Speaker 6: And it certainly beats the ugly loss in Cleveland. I
- 3:41Speaker 6: think there are a lot of parallels between these two games.
- 3:43Speaker 6: It felt a lot like the Cleveland game. I think
- 3:46Speaker 6: Dave Canales learned some lessons from the Cleveland game. I
- 3:49Speaker 6: think this team is, you know, this team has to,
- 3:53Speaker 6: I think Vashti Hur tweeted it out after the game.
- 3:55Speaker 6: The Panthers had trouble winning the ugly ones and they
- 3:57Speaker 6: won this one today and they won it by 11 points.
- 3:59Speaker 7: That's growth of a team warning how to win when
- 4:02Speaker 7: you're not at your best.
- 4:03Speaker 4: It is definitely. And listen, we got help. We got help.
- 4:06Speaker 6: That offensive line Philly put out there, those running backs
- 4:09Speaker 6: Philly put out there, they had receivers back, but the
- 4:13Speaker 6: quarterback they put out there, I'm not going to act
- 4:15Speaker 6: like it didn't help us, but I'm also not going
- 4:17Speaker 6: to act, Bone, like we haven't seen crazier things happen
- 4:21Speaker 6: on an NFL field on any given Sunday, Bone. And
- 4:26Speaker 6: it was frustrating, too. I'm also not going to act
- 4:28Speaker 6: like I did not scream a lot. in the first
- 4:32Speaker 6: half especially of this game. The penalties, I don't know
- 4:36Speaker 6: what's more frustrating. For a veteran player like Robert Hunt
- 4:40Speaker 6: now to have three, two of them yesterday, three penalties
- 4:44Speaker 6: for being too far downfield in a two-game span, and
- 4:48Speaker 6: you've played how much football in your life, Rob?
- 4:50Speaker 7: Exactly.
- 4:51Speaker 6: And I love you, but why is this happening all
- 4:53Speaker 6: of a sudden? He gets downfield more than he does
- 4:56Speaker 6: when he plays. Is it that frustrating? Or is it
- 4:59Speaker 6: the three good returns that were wiped out by penalty?
- 5:04Speaker 6: Like those two, those penalties right there. The Will Lee ones,
- 5:08Speaker 6: I don't even care about. And the one shouldn't even
- 5:10Speaker 6: been PI. It should have been defensive hold for trying to,
- 5:13Speaker 6: you know, pants a bro in the middle of the field.
- 5:16Speaker 6: But like, he's just playing. But I don't know what
- 5:20Speaker 6: some of this ridiculous stuff is. But again, like how
- 5:23Speaker 6: many years have we been here saying this? When the
- 5:25Speaker 6: coaches can teach players and get on them after a win,
- 5:30Speaker 6: that's a pretty good sign. Because how many times, Bono,
- 5:32Speaker 6: have the coaches been teaching in this town after an
- 5:34Speaker 6: ugly loss?
- 5:35Speaker 7: Yeah, like the Cleveland game wasn't pretty, and they came
- 5:38Speaker 7: out on the wrong end of it a couple weeks later.
- 5:41Speaker 7: Another ugly game. Although the Cleveland loss starts to look
- 5:45Speaker 7: better and better as we go along because Cleveland's now
- 5:47Speaker 7: 4-2 and not really a bad football team. Matt, the
- 5:51Speaker 7: end of the first half, I could not wait for
- 5:53Speaker 7: that thing to end, whether it was the penalties, the
- 5:56Speaker 7: management of the half, just the overall.
- 5:58Speaker 4: Vibe of that game.
- 5:59Speaker 7: I could not wait to have a 15-minute break and
- 6:02Speaker 7: reset my mind a little bit after what was going
- 6:04Speaker 7: on in that half.
- 6:04Speaker 6: Well, a good thing for you, neither did Dave Canales,
- 6:07Speaker 6: because he didn't want to take any timeouts on their
- 6:08Speaker 6: way down the field. Literally just gave up on the drive.
- 6:12Speaker 6: And as annoying and frustrating as it was in real time,
- 6:17Speaker 6: we got Bryce Young playing at this level.
- 6:20Speaker 4: Come on, let's do it.
- 6:23Speaker 6: I think that was one of many signs yesterday that
- 6:26Speaker 6: he did kind of notice the Cleveland game. One of
- 6:29Speaker 6: my biggest criticisms of him in the Cleveland game was
- 6:31Speaker 6: when they went for it from their own 40s. And
- 6:33Speaker 6: he didn't realize we're in a defensive slobber knocker where
- 6:36Speaker 6: our defense has them covered and where field position is king.
- 6:39Speaker 8: Right.
- 6:39Speaker 6: And I feel like yesterday, Bone, he punted on a
- 6:42Speaker 6: couple of fourth and shorts, did it in the first half,
- 6:45Speaker 6: did it in the second half. And then he also, Bone,
- 6:47Speaker 6: had that one at the end of the first half.
- 6:49Speaker 6: Did I love it?
- 6:50Speaker 8: No.
- 6:50Speaker 6: But I think he even said something after the game
- 6:52Speaker 6: that kind of dictated like our defense was playing well.
- 6:56Speaker 7: I think he got the memo. I think they, I
- 6:58Speaker 7: think they over there talked about it.
- 6:59Speaker 6: The next time we're in a game like this, that
- 7:02Speaker 6: is one of these defensive, you know, um, slobber knockers
- 7:07Speaker 6: and our boys are balling and in control.
- 7:09Speaker 4: Don't give them any gifts.
- 7:11Speaker 3: Right.
- 7:11Speaker 6: And I don't think they wanted to give them a
- 7:13Speaker 6: gift to where maybe they could have got a field
- 7:14Speaker 6: goal at the end of the half. Uh, but coach
- 7:17Speaker 6: can Alice afterwards said it's on me and I should
- 7:18Speaker 6: have handled it differently. So, um, I appreciate that as well.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:24Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 7:27Speaker 7: You stopped kind of on the dot there. I didn't
- 7:30Speaker 7: realize you were done there. Are you with me? I
- 7:34Speaker 7: know I'm 1,000% here. I was like, Mac didn't go
- 7:37Speaker 7: for the full five minutes this time. Well, sometimes you
- 7:39Speaker 7: stop and then you keep going. I thought there was
- 7:40Speaker 7: another moment to your part. No, I decided to volley
- 7:44Speaker 7: it back to you. I've got to shut up sometimes. Well,
- 7:47Speaker 7: thank you for that. We have Panther Steve Mac listening
- 7:49Speaker 7: from a Ferris wheel in Osaka, Japan today in Hollywood
- 7:53Speaker 7: from Charlotte in Cape Town, South Africa. How about that today?
- 7:57Speaker 7: We got Panther, don't call him weenie, on a Ferris
- 8:01Speaker 7: wheel in Japan. In Hollywood and South Africa today.
- 8:04Speaker 4: Already up. Listen to this.
- 8:05Speaker 6: Worldwide Panther Nation. Victory Monday. Gathering, baby. I love it.
- 8:12Speaker 6: The first guy I want to single out, and I'm
- 8:14Speaker 6: going to do this all day. I think it should
- 8:15Speaker 6: be Tommy Tremble Appreciation Day. I watched that game back
- 8:19Speaker 6: last night and noticed some of the blocks. like in
- 8:23Speaker 6: full and rewound and watched again. Y'all need to watch,
- 8:26Speaker 6: if you can, the fourth down run for Chuba in
- 8:30Speaker 6: the second half, fourth and one, where they're raving about
- 8:33Speaker 6: him running through Cooper Dijon. Watch what Tommy Tremble does
- 8:38Speaker 6: on that kickout block. It's absolutely, he is savage. I
- 8:42Speaker 6: think we need to appreciate this dude more in this town,
- 8:44Speaker 6: and not just because the Rocky celebration was hilarious and
- 8:47Speaker 6: very well done, and not just because of the two touchdowns.
- 8:50Speaker 6: They start putting him yesterday, Bone, at fullback, and he's
- 8:53Speaker 6: leading the way. And I can't tell you how many
- 8:56Speaker 6: times Chuba, first of all, the trend continues of the season,
- 9:00Speaker 6: Chuba running left with success off tackle or off that end.
- 9:04Speaker 6: I think it was like nine for 65 or off
- 9:07Speaker 6: left tackle or left end yesterday. It really is a trend.
- 9:10Speaker 6: It got to the point where I was demanding runs
- 9:12Speaker 6: to the left of my TV. And I guess my
- 9:13Speaker 6: TV heard me because they kept doing it. But a
- 9:16Speaker 6: big part of it was Tommy Tremble and Mitchell Evans blocking.
- 9:19Speaker 6: Tommy Tremble's a hell of a football player.
- 9:22Speaker 7: He's a hell of a player, and he's important for reasons,
- 9:25Speaker 7: I think, at times that go beyond the numbers. It's
- 9:29Speaker 7: what you're saying, but there's a physical and emotional tone-setting
- 9:33Speaker 7: nature to what Tremble does. We've heard JJ talk about
- 9:36Speaker 7: Tremble before. He's a... I don't think a hype guy does...
- 9:41Speaker 7: I'm not trying to say that's all he does, but
- 9:43Speaker 7: there is that element to him, Mac, where he's very
- 9:46Speaker 7: much a team vibes guy. And I think he's an
- 9:49Speaker 7: underrated Panther for a lot of that stuff. Cause he's,
- 9:51Speaker 7: he's one of the guys that's not been around for
- 9:53Speaker 7: a while. And I think there's an emotional, physical nature
- 9:56Speaker 7: to him that carries over to other guys.
- 9:58Speaker 4: Him and Chuba. They're, kind of tone setters for that offense.
- 10:01Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
- 10:02Speaker 6: They're both physical. I mean, Chuba's savage too. Chuba's running.
- 10:05Speaker 6: And again, he's another guy I don't think we appreciate
- 10:08Speaker 6: enough here. I mean, the way he's playing right now,
- 10:10Speaker 6: they've got to figure out this whole thing of trying
- 10:12Speaker 6: to get the run game going in the first half.
- 10:15Speaker 6: It's almost like they come out really wanting to be
- 10:17Speaker 6: air Bryce. They threw it 21 times in the first
- 10:21Speaker 6: half yesterday and only ran it eight. Now, they only
- 10:23Speaker 6: averaged three yards a carry, but it doesn't seem like
- 10:26Speaker 6: they fully commit to the run, Bone, until the second half.
- 10:29Speaker 6: I think as we go on, because clearly if you
- 10:32Speaker 6: watch that game, you notice, yeah, we're now game and
- 10:35Speaker 6: a half in first. We're far from a finished product.
- 10:38Speaker 6: There's so much room to grow. We're starting to get
- 10:40Speaker 6: guys back. Moten played full game. It was pretty damn solid.
- 10:44Speaker 6: But one of the things I would look at in
- 10:45Speaker 6: a self-scout is like, is there a way to maybe
- 10:49Speaker 6: come out a little more committed to the running game
- 10:52Speaker 6: rather than they seem to always break the second half
- 10:55Speaker 6: ready to commit to the running game.
- 10:57Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 10:57Speaker 7: Even if, even if you're not getting a lot of
- 11:00Speaker 7: yards per carry, you still got to stick with it.
- 11:03Speaker 7: I mean, yeah three and a half whatever it's not
- 11:05Speaker 7: great but you've got to keep the defense honest and
- 11:08Speaker 7: stick with it then maybe uh the guy i call
- 11:11Speaker 7: the canadian chainsaw chuba hubbard eventually breaks one through there
- 11:14Speaker 7: because he wears you down over time chuba mackie may
- 11:18Speaker 7: not do his damage in his first five or six
- 11:20Speaker 7: carries that's part of it but the way he runs
- 11:23Speaker 7: and the way he gets better as he's a guy
- 11:25Speaker 7: that does get better as the game goes along and
- 11:27Speaker 7: i don't think the defense wants to see the canadian
- 11:30Speaker 7: chainsaw coming in the fourth quarter and maybe that's i
- 11:32Speaker 7: don't know where that nickname came from it just hit
- 11:34Speaker 7: me in the head i like it i bet he'd
- 11:35Speaker 7: like it too i don't know why chainsaws would be
- 11:38Speaker 7: different in canada but you never know i've never seen
- 11:40Speaker 7: one before i um maybe that's part of the thinking
- 11:44Speaker 7: is and there's a fine line here like i don't
- 11:47Speaker 7: want to go as conservative as we were in the
- 11:49Speaker 7: first couple canal seasons where honestly it felt like in
- 11:52Speaker 7: some games canalis was afraid of bryce They have now
- 11:55Speaker 7: done a 180 to where now it's like they fully
- 11:59Speaker 7: believe in Bryce.
- 12:00Speaker 4: Remember that play?
- 12:01Speaker 6: It was third and 15 down inside our 10. And
- 12:05Speaker 6: Ross Tucker says, you're going to see how much they
- 12:08Speaker 6: trust Bryce Young right now. Do they let him throw
- 12:11Speaker 6: it or do they, you know, run a draw or
- 12:13Speaker 6: a screen or something like that? Yeah, he rips one
- 12:16Speaker 6: for about 18 yards to T-Mac, first down and we're
- 12:18Speaker 6: out of the hole. Like, they trust him so much
- 12:24Speaker 6: more than last year. And I just think they've got
- 12:26Speaker 6: to find the trust in Bryce, let Bryce air it out,
- 12:30Speaker 6: and they've got to find the balance with the run.
- 12:32Speaker 6: But we've got a long season, and in the meantime, man,
- 12:35Speaker 6: let's keep winning games. and let's keep seeing NFC South
- 12:38Speaker 6: opponents lose games in the meantime. At least we had
- 12:41Speaker 6: two of those yesterday. Don't worry, Mac. They keep playing games.
- 12:46Speaker 6: They'll keep doing that. All of the Saints came back
- 12:48Speaker 6: to life yesterday. And they were down by 10 early.
- 12:52Speaker 6: Can I say something, Mac, about Ross Tucker? Excellent job yesterday.
- 12:56Speaker 4: You like Rossy Ross? He's pretty good.
- 12:58Speaker 7: He's got good chemistry with Ian Eagle because you got
- 13:00Speaker 7: to have a little bit of humor when you're working
- 13:02Speaker 7: with Ian Eagle.
- 13:03Speaker 4: I don't think J.J.
- 13:04Speaker 7: Watt has the humor to work with Ian Eagle as well.
- 13:07Speaker 7: And you see J.J. Watt's also struggling a little bit
- 13:10Speaker 7: with Jim Nance. Ross Tucker, I thought, was excellent personality-wise yesterday.
- 13:14Speaker 6: Are you saying that because Jim Nance might have broken
- 13:16Speaker 6: his wrist while working with J.J.
- 13:18Speaker 4: Watt, that might be struggles?
- 13:19Speaker 7: Broadcaster came back with his wrist bandage the second half
- 13:23Speaker 7: after an errant pita punch.
- 13:27Speaker 4: Hello, friends.
- 13:29Speaker 7: That's what he told the medical staff. That was so funny.
- 13:32Speaker 7: So yesterday, Matt, real quick, I just thought of this.
- 13:34Speaker 7: We had a referee. go down in the London game
- 13:38Speaker 7: on a non-contact injury where his fellow referee was kneeling
- 13:41Speaker 7: next to him, which is a good sign of respect,
- 13:43Speaker 7: by the way, when a guy's injured. So a referee
- 13:45Speaker 7: went down. Mike McCarthy got hurt at halftime yesterday. Trying
- 13:49Speaker 7: to go to the locker room and do a halftime interview.
- 13:51Speaker 7: Running to the CBS sideline reporter, and then Jim Nance
- 13:55Speaker 7: hurt his wrist on a peanut punch. So prayers to
- 13:57Speaker 7: the referees. No one was saying.
- 13:59Speaker 4: The coaches and the broadcasters. What a savage.
- 14:03Speaker 7: Sport no one was safe did you say did you
- 14:05Speaker 7: mention the injuries to the to the couple of the
- 14:07Speaker 7: refs in the panther game no i missed that one
- 14:09Speaker 7: i didn't say that one yeah they they hurt their
- 14:12Speaker 7: arms bad throwing so many flags yesterday tommy john yes
- 14:16Speaker 7: both of them go two of them gonna need tommy
- 14:18Speaker 7: john surgery i gotta mention the linebackers too what exquisite
- 14:22Speaker 7: linebacker play bobby okereke had a freaking day yesterday and
- 14:27Speaker 7: he was put in position to do that Because he,
- 14:30Speaker 7: according to PFF's initial grades, this could change a little bit,
- 14:34Speaker 7: but they had Okereke and Lloyd each blitzing 16 times.
- 14:38Speaker 7: It was a, now, and in the second half, I
- 14:40Speaker 7: bet you can name the series where Ajiro Overo stopped blitzing.
- 14:44Speaker 4: It was the one they went down and scored on.
- 14:46Speaker 6: Because they tried to go four-man rush, which we weren't
- 14:48Speaker 6: getting any of, and they went to kind of the
- 14:50Speaker 6: soft zones with a two-score lead. But I'm telling you, man, 57% blitzes, 36%
- 14:56Speaker 6: pressure on blitzes, all three sacks came on blitzes. Bobby Okereke,
- 15:01Speaker 6: this was his version, not quite there, but this was
- 15:04Speaker 6: his version of Devin Lloyd's game bone from a few
- 15:07Speaker 6: weeks back. Okereke ended up with nine tackles, four pressures,
- 15:14Speaker 6: a sack, three TFLs, and two pass breakups. The freaking game, man.
- 15:21Speaker 4: Unbelievable.
- 15:22Speaker 6: Devaloy wasn't too shabby either. Also got in there, got
- 15:25Speaker 6: a sack on blitzes. But Okereke forced two incompletions just
- 15:28Speaker 6: hitting Tanner McKee's arm.
- 15:30Speaker 4: On the blitz.
- 15:30Speaker 7: Per Bebop, though, Dan Morgan didn't draft those guys, so
- 15:33Speaker 7: those plays don't count. You have to draft guys for
- 15:35Speaker 7: it to count towards Dan Morgan's moves that he makes.
- 15:37Speaker 6: Oh, man. Is Bebop still in town or is Bebop
- 15:40Speaker 6: leaving the building? Is Bebop going to move to a
- 15:43Speaker 6: town with a worse quarterback?
- 15:44Speaker 4: We can only hope.
- 15:44Speaker 7: Actually, there's a shocking that Bebop seems to always end
- 15:48Speaker 7: up having to do something on the Mondays that are positive.
- 15:51Speaker 7: Bebop and Bagel Guy are really two of the guys
- 15:54Speaker 7: that just always seem to have meetings come up. They
- 15:57Speaker 7: find jobs. Things just happen on Mondays. That is, yeah.
- 16:01Speaker 7: When the Panthers win. That is awful crazy. Okay, so
- 16:05Speaker 7: we talked about the Falcons. Michael Penix actually played pretty well,
- 16:09Speaker 7: but the Falcons could not handle the return of Caleb
- 16:11Speaker 7: Williams over 300 yards. in that game, 30 of 36
- 16:15Speaker 7: in that game yesterday. Falcons did make a rally, looked
- 16:19Speaker 7: like they were going to get blown out of their house.
- 16:21Speaker 7: They did rally in making an eight-point game. In the end,
- 16:24Speaker 7: you had Tampa lose. They were up, was it 13
- 16:28Speaker 7: or was that more than 13? I thought they were
- 16:32Speaker 7: up by 13. Yeah, so they blew a 13-point lead. Yeah,
- 16:36Speaker 7: because the Saints came back from 10, and the Buccaneers
- 16:40Speaker 7: were down. I'm trying to remember the NFC South, the
- 16:42Speaker 7: day in the NFC South.
- 16:44Speaker 6: The Bucs blew a 13-point lead. Jalen Daniels looks like
- 16:46Speaker 6: an undrafted rookie. I mean, he can run around and
- 16:48Speaker 6: make some plays every now and then, but, man, he
- 16:50Speaker 6: has some rough moments, a couple of rough, rough interceptions.
- 16:54Speaker 6: in the second half of this game. And, uh, so
- 16:57Speaker 6: Tampa's down to one in five Falcons are down to
- 16:59Speaker 6: two and four. The saints then after rallying from 10 down,
- 17:03Speaker 6: tried to blow like a 17 point lead in their
- 17:05Speaker 6: own right as JJ McCarthy.
- 17:07Speaker 4: Jamis, it's been real baby.
- 17:09Speaker 6: It has been real, Jameis, but you could go back
- 17:11Speaker 6: to just being off the field fun now because McCarthy
- 17:15Speaker 6: almost rescued that game, had a shot at the end
- 17:17Speaker 6: zone late to possibly tie it, overthrew it. So the
- 17:21Speaker 6: Saints ended up winning that game. They ran the heck
- 17:23Speaker 6: out of the ball, 175 yards rushing. So you got
- 17:26Speaker 6: Falcons and Saints competing. In second place, two and four,
- 17:29Speaker 6: a game and a half behind us.
- 17:31Speaker 4: Mack, if the.
- 17:31Speaker 7: Panthers just stay consistently average, I'm not even talking about, no,
- 17:35Speaker 7: if they go play great, that's wonderful. Mack, if they
- 17:38Speaker 7: just stay consistently average, they should win this division, no problem,
- 17:42Speaker 7: because the teams behind them are just a rotating, it's
- 17:45Speaker 7: a rotating clown car of, oh, well, I think the
- 17:48Speaker 7: Saints are the best team. Well, it's not, well, the
- 17:49Speaker 7: Buccaneers started the year as the best team.
- 17:51Speaker 4: It's not them. Well, maybe it's the Saints. Well, It's
- 17:54Speaker 4: not them. Well, now Atlanta's the best team. It's not them.
- 17:56Speaker 4: Is it now the Saints again?
- 17:58Speaker 7: Just stay average at best, or at worst, stay average,
- 18:02Speaker 7: and you'll go win this division. Because everyone else behind you,
- 18:04Speaker 7: they're going to have a good week, bad week. They're
- 18:07Speaker 7: all over the place. But we've got to stay away
- 18:08Speaker 7: from good week, bad week. I get what you're saying.
- 18:11Speaker 7: Our potential is to certainly be above average. I just mean,
- 18:15Speaker 7: even if you weren't, just stay consistent in some way.
- 18:18Speaker 7: Those other ones aren't consistent. This can be I'm going
- 18:20Speaker 7: to stop short of saying we can route this division.
- 18:23Speaker 7: But in the back of my mind, I'm wondering if
- 18:25Speaker 7: we can. But I want to settle down a little bit.
- 18:27Speaker 7: This was two wins in a row. It was a
- 18:30Speaker 7: needed win. It was a win we had to get
- 18:32Speaker 7: due to the circumstances in Philly. I want to see
- 18:35Speaker 7: this thing grow, but there's something here. This defense, again yesterday,
- 18:39Speaker 7: I understand that offense was garbage, but that's what you're
- 18:42Speaker 7: supposed to do against an offense that is garbage. There's
- 18:47Speaker 7: the offense bone with the way Bryce is playing, with
- 18:49Speaker 7: the way Chuba's running. There's a hell of a football
- 18:53Speaker 7: team inside there, and they're not there yet, but they
- 18:56Speaker 7: have the potential to be a hell of a freaking
- 18:58Speaker 7: football team. Can I say something about the NFC South
- 19:00Speaker 7: real quick?
- 19:01Speaker 4: It's not good?
- 19:01Speaker 7: I got my keys right here. I'm not going to
- 19:04Speaker 7: say it. I'm not going to say it. I'm not
- 19:06Speaker 7: locking anything up. What's up with Finney's eyes? What do
- 19:10Speaker 7: you do with your eyes? I got my keys right here, though.
- 19:12Speaker 7: I'm just saying my keys are here. If I want
- 19:14Speaker 7: to lock it up, I have the right to do that. Finney,
- 19:17Speaker 7: I have never seen your eyes bulge out of your
- 19:19Speaker 7: head like that. You look like a cartoon character. What
- 19:21Speaker 7: is going on with you over there?
- 19:22Speaker 9: We're locking a division on October 9th.
- 19:25Speaker 4: Dude, I am here for the arrogance. The arrogance. We're
- 19:29Speaker 4: really going to be arrogant after that game?
- 19:30Speaker 9: I invite it because, Mac, there's no excuses. That's the
- 19:36Speaker 9: best team in the NFC South.
- 19:39Speaker 6: It's the best team in the South and the East.
- 19:41Speaker 6: I tried saying that last week in some NFC East tools.
- 19:44Speaker 3: I agree.
- 19:44Speaker 6: Trying to talk crap. Your division is garbage, man. Everybody
- 19:48Speaker 6: lost yesterday, and Washington's taking an L to die. I
- 19:50Speaker 6: like to call it the NFC East.
- 19:51Speaker 9: The Reaper didn't strike yesterday. The Eagles have their built-in excuses.
- 19:55Speaker 9: The Reaper strikes next Sunday. When Todd Bowles comes here
- 19:59Speaker 9: and Bryce Young farms him up like Thanksgiving Day turkey
- 20:02Speaker 9: and they fire that overrated SOB on Monday, it's just
- 20:06Speaker 9: going to be the beginning. The Panthers are winning this game,
- 20:09Speaker 9: or winning this division, by three games or more.
- 20:14Speaker 4: We're doing three games or more.
- 20:15Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
- 20:16Speaker 4: Why were your eyes bulging out then? Because you wanted
- 20:18Speaker 4: to be the first one.
- 20:19Speaker 7: To do it?
- 20:19Speaker 4: Is that what's going on?
- 20:21Speaker 9: I love the arrogance and the bravado that we're locking
- 20:23Speaker 9: up a division in mid-October.
- 20:25Speaker 7: They'll say week what have we done when do we
- 20:27Speaker 7: start resting starters for the playoffs when we come back
- 20:30Speaker 7: we have a recap of an amazing college football saturday
- 20:34Speaker 7: little billy belichick gets the biggest win of his career
- 20:37Speaker 7: and charlotte wins a game and we have chaos chaos
- 20:41Speaker 7: and chaos all over the place sports radio 92 7 wfnz.
- 21:19Speaker 10: Obviously big win for our program and, uh, on the road, uh,
- 21:23Speaker 10: couldn't be more excited. Um, obviously with the, the win,
- 21:27Speaker 10: I thought our, our team showed just grit. I mean,
- 21:32Speaker 10: that's the, that's where it comes to mind in so
- 21:34Speaker 10: many different areas. Uh, this coaching staff got these guys
- 21:38Speaker 10: ready to go. Uh, you could not tell with how
- 21:41Speaker 10: we warmed up, what our record was, um, tremendous confidence
- 21:45Speaker 10: and went out there and got off to a good start. Um,
- 21:49Speaker 10: I thought we were getting great push up front, particularly
- 21:51Speaker 10: in the first quarter, and jumped out early, and then
- 21:55Speaker 10: it turned into a ball game. But the stop in
- 22:00Speaker 10: our defense before halftime, that's the grit I'm talking about.
- 22:05Speaker 4: How about them Charlotte 49ers? 49ers! 49ers! How about them 49ers?
- 22:12Speaker 6: That is Coach Tim Albin right there talking about their
- 22:15Speaker 6: first win of the season. The first win against FBS
- 22:18Speaker 6: competition for him in his one-plus seasons as coach at Charlotte.
- 22:25Speaker 6: They scored 31 points in the second half, and he
- 22:28Speaker 6: is right. They fumbled that ball bone inside their own 10.
- 22:33Speaker 6: At the end of the first half, it looked like
- 22:34Speaker 6: Temple was going to score to make it a 14-point game,
- 22:38Speaker 6: and it looked like here we go again. And they
- 22:40Speaker 6: got a damn goal-line stand at the end of the
- 22:42Speaker 6: first half. went into the halftime, had to make some
- 22:46Speaker 6: offensive adjustments, as good as their offense was in the
- 22:48Speaker 6: second half, and beat the Temple Owls. So many guys
- 22:53Speaker 6: stepping up, making plays. Connor Harrell, now that he's healthy bone,
- 22:59Speaker 6: it looks so much better than it did with Gonzalez.
- 23:05Speaker 6: I mean, he just played a clean football game the
- 23:06Speaker 6: other day, man.
- 23:07Speaker 4: No mistakes. It was the Philadelphia bird hunt all weekend,
- 23:10Speaker 4: wasn't it? It was.
- 23:11Speaker 7: Back-to-back dubs. Did you see what Charlotte tweeted out? We
- 23:14Speaker 7: took everything but the Liberty Bell. Although soccer tied, but still.
- 23:19Speaker 7: Didn't lose. It was a great match. It was two
- 23:22Speaker 7: really good teams on Saturday playoff.
- 23:23Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 23:25Speaker 7: I tweeted out the other day, Mac, and I truly,
- 23:27Speaker 7: sincerely mean it. I can't really find a fan base,
- 23:30Speaker 7: not only locally, but in America, that needed to be
- 23:33Speaker 7: able to enjoy a Saturday and celebrate a win, no
- 23:37Speaker 7: matter what it was, more than the Charlotte 49er fans.
- 23:40Speaker 7: Because it's not like they've been knocking on the door, oh,
- 23:43Speaker 7: almost got a win here, almost got a win there.
- 23:46Speaker 4: They've been.
- 23:47Speaker 7: beaten soundly almost every game now for about two years
- 23:50Speaker 7: outside of one. So they needed to be able to enjoy.
- 23:53Speaker 4: Big time.
- 23:54Speaker 7: Enjoy just to have a Saturday to breathe and relax
- 23:57Speaker 7: and talk about a win.
- 23:58Speaker 4: So congrats to the Niners fans. Big time. So congrats
- 24:01Speaker 4: to the Niners. I love it. Can they build something
- 24:03Speaker 4: off of this? I hope so.
- 24:06Speaker 6: And the Wake Forest win on Saturday night, to me,
- 24:12Speaker 6: was an absolute eye-opener. We kept saying on Friday, man,
- 24:16Speaker 6: these are the type of spots we've seen Cal get
- 24:20Speaker 6: team's bone in past seasons. We saw Cal almost in
- 24:23Speaker 6: a late-night game get Miami two years ago. It was
- 24:26Speaker 6: one where I thought, could this be an ugly one
- 24:29Speaker 6: for Wake? Are they in danger? They went out there
- 24:32Speaker 6: and beat the brakes off the Cal Bears. Five drives,
- 24:36Speaker 6: five touchdowns in the first half. It's 34-0. I mean,
- 24:40Speaker 6: this offense is an absolute machine.
- 24:44Speaker 4: They are.
- 24:45Speaker 6: Better, like each week I start realizing I've praised them
- 24:50Speaker 6: every week.
- 24:51Speaker 7: They are better than I thought the week before. And
- 24:53Speaker 7: they're getting better. Yeah, they're getting better. They're getting more dominant.
- 24:58Speaker 7: Full disclosure, I thought Wake was going to win, but
- 25:01Speaker 7: more of a close fight. I thought I took Cal
- 25:05Speaker 7: a little bit more than that, but I had Cal
- 25:07Speaker 7: about plus 12. I thought, all right, I think Wake's
- 25:09Speaker 7: going to win, but Cal can... Cal can make this
- 25:12Speaker 7: thing interesting. They had a quarterback change where JKS was
- 25:16Speaker 7: active but didn't start, didn't play, and Broussard started, and
- 25:20Speaker 7: that was from start to finish a dominant performance. Wake
- 25:25Speaker 7: is not only good, they are dominant right now against
- 25:29Speaker 7: teams that... You would think on paper, all right, this
- 25:32Speaker 7: could be a back and forth, but it's not right now.
- 25:35Speaker 4: They are legit. They are a great football team. Both
- 25:38Speaker 4: sides of the ball.
- 25:38Speaker 6: Gio Lopez's numbers, by the way, like he should find,
- 25:42Speaker 6: if you're doing a Heisman top 10, he better be
- 25:44Speaker 6: on there. I'm not, I understand bone. You play a
- 25:47Speaker 6: little awake. I understand the national media. There's going to
- 25:50Speaker 6: be a burden on you to try to break through.
- 25:52Speaker 6: But if you do a top 10, you better put
- 25:53Speaker 6: his ass on there because he's been absolutely ridiculous. He's
- 25:57Speaker 6: got running this offense, 23 total touchdowns, 17 passing six
- 26:01Speaker 6: running one. I N T is rating for whatever it
- 26:04Speaker 6: means in college. It was 172.7. He's very near 2,000 yards, 68%
- 26:11Speaker 6: of his passes. I mean, we thought he would be
- 26:15Speaker 6: better at Wake than he was at UNC. We didn't
- 26:18Speaker 6: know that he would be ACC Player of the Year
- 26:21Speaker 6: and one of the best players in America. It's crazy. 267,
- 26:24Speaker 6: 51 rushing, four total TDs yesterday. They didn't even have
- 26:26Speaker 6: Carlos Hernandez, oh, by the way. Need to point that out.
- 26:29Speaker 6: He did not play in this game.
- 26:31Speaker 7: Last year, he's already passed last year's total at Carolina
- 26:34Speaker 7: by 200 yards passing, and he's got seven more touchdown
- 26:37Speaker 7: passes now.
- 26:39Speaker 4: Than he had in the full season at Carolina.
- 26:41Speaker 7: It's amazing.
- 26:41Speaker 9: Belichick told you he was going to develop NFL-caliber players.
- 26:46Speaker 4: He said he was going to do it in Chapel
- 26:47Speaker 4: Hill right away, guys.
- 26:48Speaker 7: It's all Little Billy. Do you think he's telling his staff,
- 26:51Speaker 7: where did Wake get this guy from? Coach, I know
- 26:55Speaker 7: you're on the victory bell right now, but that was
- 26:57Speaker 7: our guy last year.
- 26:58Speaker 4: It's worked out for everybody, baby, because Little Billy.
- 27:02Speaker 6: Little Billy got his wish from when he was a
- 27:04Speaker 6: little tight bone and his first words were, beat Duke.
- 27:08Speaker 4: Little Billy went out there and beat Duke.
- 27:11Speaker 11: He did.
- 27:11Speaker 7: That's why I say congrats. Per his words, this is
- 27:14Speaker 7: the win he's wanted most of his career. Bonus back-taking
- 27:18Speaker 7: L's from Belichick, man. Back-taking L's from Belichick. No, credit
- 27:22Speaker 7: to them. They contained on the ground Shepard to a
- 27:27Speaker 7: point where he wasn't dominant. He was more effective in
- 27:31Speaker 7: the pass game. Duke's got a... Duke has a quarterback issue.
- 27:36Speaker 7: That's Duke's... Finney can talk about the Carolina side of
- 27:39Speaker 7: it and the win. I'll handle the Duke side of it.
- 27:41Speaker 7: Duke has a quarterback issue.
- 27:43Speaker 4: I don't know if.
- 27:45Speaker 7: A mayhem needs to come in. I know that the
- 27:47Speaker 7: yardage numbers weren't all that off. Mack, the amount of
- 27:50Speaker 7: throws that he missed was astronomical. First play of the
- 27:54Speaker 7: second half, he's got a guy, Burton, that breaks wide open,
- 27:57Speaker 7: underthrows it. Throws in the end zone. Instead of leading guys,
- 28:01Speaker 7: he's throwing it up for grabs. He does not make
- 28:04Speaker 7: throws that are catchable for these wideouts. Eget, he's not good, man.
- 28:10Speaker 7: Whether it's arm strength, I don't know what it is.
- 28:12Speaker 7: He doesn't lead the wideouts. He's underthrowing balls. He was
- 28:15Speaker 7: terrible the other day.
- 28:16Speaker 4: I will say this.
- 28:17Speaker 6: Despite all that stuff, I thought we were watching the
- 28:20Speaker 6: sequel to the 2024 game. 2024 game was 20-0 UNC.
- 28:25Speaker 6: Duke comes back and wins it. On Saturday, it was
- 28:29Speaker 6: 17-0 UNC. And Duke comes back and scores 20 straight points. Phinney,
- 28:35Speaker 6: they showed something, dude. I know they probably almost gave
- 28:38Speaker 6: you and all the Heels fans a heart attack by
- 28:40Speaker 6: giving up a 17-point lead. But that drive that included
- 28:45Speaker 6: the Edwards... to Thurman, fourth down throw, which included multiple
- 28:50Speaker 6: big runs by McGill, including the touchdown. That drive had
- 28:54Speaker 6: to make you feel good, man, because that was a
- 28:56Speaker 6: gut-check drive.
- 28:57Speaker 4: For those boys, man.
- 28:58Speaker 9: I think that's the best way to put it, Mac,
- 29:01Speaker 9: because at 17-0, I tweet bell to ass, don't let up,
- 29:05Speaker 9: because I felt like we could have ran Duke out
- 29:07Speaker 9: of their own building. And then you sit there in
- 29:10Speaker 9: the middle of the fourth quarter, and it's, oh, bleep,
- 29:12Speaker 9: here we go again. Are we about to do what
- 29:15Speaker 9: we did the last time we were in the stadium?
- 29:16Speaker 9: Are we about to do what we did to Clemson.
- 29:18Speaker 4: A few weeks ago? Yeah, that's a good point. Which
- 29:20Speaker 4: was lose a game that.
- 29:21Speaker 9: We had thoroughly controlled for the majority of it. Mac,
- 29:25Speaker 9: Billy Edwards Jr. is not a perfect quarterback.
- 29:27Speaker 4: That's not news to anybody.
- 29:29Speaker 9: But there's a toughness about that kid that you have
- 29:33Speaker 9: to respect.
- 29:34Speaker 4: Make some plays and didn't turn it over. That was
- 29:36Speaker 4: the good thing. Didn't have any INTs.
- 29:38Speaker 7: And now.
- 29:40Speaker 4: you.
- 29:40Speaker 9: Know, and it's easier to see it now at 4-2,
- 29:43Speaker 9: but you're starting to see the culture that Belichick told
- 29:46Speaker 9: us so much in the summer was better.
- 29:47Speaker 4: They're learning how to win like the Panthers are to
- 29:49Speaker 4: some ways.
- 29:51Speaker 9: That's the best way to put it. They're learning how
- 29:53Speaker 9: to win football games together. And, Mac, there's a trust
- 29:57Speaker 9: with this team, man. that, like, if the game... They're
- 30:00Speaker 9: 3-1 in one-score games.
- 30:02Speaker 11: Like, they.
- 30:04Speaker 9: I don't... It's not fun as a fan because I
- 30:07Speaker 9: felt like the games could have been a whole lot more.
- 30:10Speaker 4: not close, but.
- 30:13Speaker 9: I feel pretty comfortable if we're in a one-score game
- 30:15Speaker 9: that our guys are going to make the play.
- 30:17Speaker 7: That's how Belichick's going to operate. It's not going to
- 30:18Speaker 7: be the most overwhelming. It's not going to be like
- 30:21Speaker 7: Brady to Moss here. It's going to be old-school Belichick,
- 30:25Speaker 7: play conservative.
- 30:26Speaker 4: It's going to be defense. It's going to be running
- 30:28Speaker 4: the ball.
- 30:28Speaker 7: He's going to win you games, but it's going to
- 30:30Speaker 7: be in that old-school Belichick style. Phinney, do you know
- 30:33Speaker 7: when I knew that Duke was in trouble? When Flounder
- 30:38Speaker 7: fired Belichick? Flounder fired Belichick in the second half back
- 30:43Speaker 7: and said, how do you blow weeds and lose games
- 30:46Speaker 7: like Clemson and Duke in the same year?
- 30:48Speaker 4: Oh, that was it.
- 30:49Speaker 7: Reverse flounder buried the team. And I thought, you son
- 30:52Speaker 7: of a flounder. Reverse flounder curse, baby. You think he
- 30:55Speaker 7: did that on purpose? You think he used his powers
- 30:57Speaker 7: on purpose? Who was the first guy on my timeline?
- 31:01Speaker 7: You just saw that big floating head. Yeah, it was Flounder.
- 31:04Speaker 7: I think he knows what he's doing now. I think
- 31:06Speaker 7: he knows his freak-outs. This guy's got powers, and we
- 31:09Speaker 7: don't know how deep they go.
- 31:11Speaker 6: I don't even know where to start, Bone, with all
- 31:13Speaker 6: the madness of the top ten teams. Five top seven
- 31:15Speaker 6: teams lost. Miami almost lost, had to go to double overtime.
- 31:19Speaker 6: And I'm not even sure that game should be over now, Bone.
- 31:23Speaker 6: I got to be honest with you. I don't know
- 31:25Speaker 6: how the hell you call a hold on that Hail
- 31:28Speaker 6: Mary heave to Deuce Robinson for Florida State in the
- 31:32Speaker 6: second overtime. I don't know how you call a hold
- 31:34Speaker 6: on that garbage. I thought that was a pathetic call
- 31:36Speaker 6: given the situation. But then I don't even know for
- 31:39Speaker 6: sure if the Miami dude intercepted the pass the second time.
- 31:43Speaker 6: I don't even know if he did. Was that a
- 31:45Speaker 6: double catch or was it an interception? It was an
- 31:48Speaker 6: amazing game. It was so much fun. And Miami, I guess,
- 31:52Speaker 6: should consider themselves grateful they survived. Because, like I said,
- 31:56Speaker 6: five of the top seven did not. And the way
- 31:59Speaker 6: these games played out, down to the wire, absolute madness, man.
- 32:04Speaker 6: I mean, I just, I'm serious. I don't think I
- 32:07Speaker 6: have had a college football Saturday like that in my life.
- 32:10Speaker 4: That was crazy. First of all.
- 32:12Speaker 7: When I was watching Miami, Florida State, I thought to myself,
- 32:15Speaker 7: you know what? Remember when I told you Texas, Oklahoma,
- 32:18Speaker 7: it doesn't really matter what's been going on. Those games
- 32:20Speaker 7: are unpredictable. Florida State, Miami often will end up closer
- 32:26Speaker 7: based off the rivalry. And I thought, you know what?
- 32:28Speaker 7: Maybe should have seen this coming. Maybe not that close. Yeah,
- 32:31Speaker 7: that was that late call, Mac, on the hold. That
- 32:35Speaker 7: was a way late holding call. I thought it was
- 32:37Speaker 7: a terrible holding call, too. Yeah, well, the guy got pancaked,
- 32:41Speaker 7: and 30 seconds later, the flag comes out. I thought
- 32:44Speaker 7: Tom Hart, who I like from ESPN, had a rough
- 32:47Speaker 7: sequence there at the end when he says, Was it
- 32:50Speaker 7: Robinson that caught it on the second?
- 32:52Speaker 4: Yeah, he yells. He goes, Oh, Robinson, he's got his
- 32:55Speaker 4: hands on it for the state. It's like, wait a minute.
- 32:58Speaker 4: Wait a minute, Tom.
- 32:59Speaker 7: You're calling the catch, and we're not... You should have said, hey,
- 33:03Speaker 7: did he catch it?
- 33:04Speaker 4: Did he get it? And as far as... Gus Johnson
- 33:06Speaker 4: had two of those in the Indiana-Ohio State game, too.
- 33:08Speaker 4: He had a rough one, too. Including the Nick Marsh
- 33:10Speaker 4: one at the end. He called it a touchdown. And
- 33:12Speaker 4: Fitty can attest to this, too.
- 33:13Speaker 7: Fitty, when I'm watching Georgia-Bama both struggle at the same time,
- 33:17Speaker 7: I know it's a different sport, and it's not quite
- 33:20Speaker 7: the same turnaround, but when Duke plays UNC... When they
- 33:25Speaker 7: play each other, there's an emotional letdown often the next game, right?
- 33:31Speaker 7: Whether it's your team, my team, getting up for that
- 33:34Speaker 7: next game, whether it's on Monday or Tuesday, it can
- 33:37Speaker 7: be difficult. I wonder, Mac, if Georgia Bama has become
- 33:40Speaker 7: so big and so much goes into that game, it
- 33:42Speaker 7: takes so much out of you. If there's a letdown
- 33:45Speaker 7: for both those teams, it's not a coincidence that both
- 33:47Speaker 7: Georgia and Bama lost the next game. I think there's
- 33:50Speaker 7: a major letdown for those programs based off what they
- 33:53Speaker 7: put into their previous game.
- 33:53Speaker 6: It could be. It's also the SEC this season. The
- 33:57Speaker 6: SEC this season is drunk. It's crazy.
- 34:00Speaker 4: Nobody is without a loss.
- 34:03Speaker 6: In conference play, obviously in general, if in conference play,
- 34:07Speaker 6: it's an entertainingly balanced season. I think there could be
- 34:13Speaker 6: some of what you're saying. I will say this, too.
- 34:16Speaker 6: I've underestimated Tennessee. That defense is filthy. That defense is
- 34:20Speaker 6: absolutely filthy. And they harassed Keelan Russell. I'm sure he
- 34:25Speaker 6: missed Coleman Williams. He could not get the ball downfield
- 34:28Speaker 6: the way he's been doing to everybody this season. He
- 34:30Speaker 6: turned it over the way he did in the Kentucky game.
- 34:33Speaker 6: But in the Kentucky game, they were able to overcome it.
- 34:36Speaker 6: They could not overcome it. That dude Bishop is a dude.
- 34:41Speaker 6: I mean, he is an animal.
- 34:42Speaker 4: Underrated.
- 34:43Speaker 6: They physically beat the living crap out of Alabama in
- 34:47Speaker 6: the trenches. Alabama's offensive line bone looked like it has
- 34:51Speaker 6: the past few seasons, not like it had earlier this season.
- 34:55Speaker 6: So I got to give Tennessee credit, man. Oh, Tennessee, I.
- 34:59Speaker 7: Cannot wait for this one this weekend. So you're feeling good.
- 35:03Speaker 7: You like the way this sets up? What has the
- 35:05Speaker 7: theme been, Mac? Teams coming off a big win. The
- 35:08Speaker 7: next game, it's not always the same thing necessarily. You
- 35:12Speaker 7: got Tennessee going on the road to a now rested
- 35:14Speaker 7: Gamecock team who's.
- 35:16Speaker 4: Feeling good about themselves.
- 35:17Speaker 7: This feels like one of those Tennessee won't be what
- 35:21Speaker 7: they were the week before situations. I think the Gamecocks
- 35:25Speaker 7: get Tennessee at the right time. I could see that.
- 35:27Speaker 7: I could definitely see that. And we know they still
- 35:29Speaker 7: have trouble with the passing game. As good as the
- 35:31Speaker 7: run game and defense looks, we know they still have
- 35:33Speaker 7: trouble with the passing game. I mean, if anything can
- 35:37Speaker 7: show you, Bone, how crazy and anybody can beat anybody
- 35:41Speaker 7: in the SEC, look at this threesome.
- 35:44Speaker 4: Look at Mississippi. My God. Look at Mississippi. I'm just saying.
- 35:49Speaker 4: How about football teams, y'all? Finney's eyes bulged out again. Mississippi, Florida,
- 35:56Speaker 4: and Missouri. They're 1-1-1.
- 36:00Speaker 6: You know what I mean? And the games have not
- 36:02Speaker 6: really been close in any of them.
- 36:05Speaker 4: No, you're right. It's just round and round we go.
- 36:07Speaker 4: We beat each other.
- 36:08Speaker 7: And the text line's turning into the call-out line now
- 36:11Speaker 7: where people are calling out their friends, fellow texters. Georgia
- 36:14Speaker 7: John's getting called out by somebody on the text line.
- 36:17Speaker 7: And I, Finney, I don't want to do this. People
- 36:20Speaker 7: are looking to see where arrogant Willie P is about
- 36:23Speaker 7: Missouri this weekend.
- 36:25Speaker 4: Hey, guys. Don't say his name three times, he'll appear.
- 36:32Speaker 9: He told me yesterday, they never got off the bus
- 36:35Speaker 9: in Memphis, yo. Oh, man.
- 36:40Speaker 6: People are fired up on the text line. 704 number
- 36:44Speaker 6: is mad you tried to discredit the Tennessee win, Boney.
- 36:47Speaker 4: He was mad.
- 36:48Speaker 7: He's upset with you. I think he wants a piece
- 36:50Speaker 7: of Gamecock bone this week. Be careful what you wish for. Oh,
- 36:53Speaker 7: it's all between the two of you. Sir, text him
- 36:55Speaker 7: every day, sir. You come knocking, clown.
- 36:56Speaker 4: I'm answering.
- 36:57Speaker 6: You come every day and show up here. That SEC
- 37:00Speaker 6: is entertaining as hell. Notre Dame BYU slightly entertaining as well.
- 37:05Speaker 6: I'm not going to lie to you. I'm a petty
- 37:07Speaker 6: human being. Notre Dame getting screwed like that made me laugh.
- 37:11Speaker 6: And as Smoke Ludwig sent texts, just the tears were
- 37:14Speaker 6: dripping off my phone over Smoke's text crying about the referees.
- 37:18Speaker 6: I got Smoke's text in the Notre Dame game. I
- 37:21Speaker 6: got the Duke Smoke text. I mean, just destroying Mensah
- 37:24Speaker 6: for leaving. I got those too.
- 37:27Speaker 4: I got them all. I got them all. Smoke, we
- 37:29Speaker 4: got to move on, man.
- 37:30Speaker 11: He's gone.
- 37:30Speaker 6: But anyway, the Notre Dame one, they got screwed twice.
- 37:32Speaker 6: I'm not going to lie to you. I laugh at it.
- 37:35Speaker 6: Notre Dame, I like your pain. But they got screwed twice.
- 37:39Speaker 6: for the second straight week on an ABC primetime game,
- 37:42Speaker 6: pass interference was blatant and not called.
- 37:44Speaker 4: It was unbelievable.
- 37:45Speaker 6: And the fact that there was a second left on
- 37:46Speaker 6: the clock and nobody stopped it, nobody said a word, everybody.
- 37:51Speaker 4: Said, hey, let's get on out of here and enjoy Provo.
- 37:53Speaker 7: That is, and oh, by the way, the fact they
- 37:56Speaker 7: just so happen to be Big 12 officials, I'm sure
- 38:00Speaker 7: that's a coincidence.
- 38:03Speaker 4: I'd be furious if I was a Notre Dame fan.
- 38:05Speaker 4: That was horrible.
- 38:07Speaker 7: And the BYU fans, they partied with some whole milk
- 38:09Speaker 7: and some cookies after the game.
- 38:11Speaker 6: Can't even drink soda. That's not even in the rule.
- 38:13Speaker 6: But I was thinking about this the other day during
- 38:15Speaker 6: game day. They have that strict code of rules, right,
- 38:19Speaker 6: at BYU. I have a suspicion that a lot of
- 38:21Speaker 6: the college kids don't follow those rules. Slight suspicion.
- 38:24Speaker 4: We come back.
- 38:25Speaker 7: Sounds of the Weekend, including Jalen Coker on Tommy Tremble,
- 38:29Speaker 7: Charles Lee injury updates. and a weird take on Jalen
- 38:32Speaker 7: Hurts that went viral. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Sports Radio
- 39:02Speaker 7: 92.7 WFNZ. Time for a little Sounds of the Weekend.
- 39:06Speaker 7: I mean, between the Panthers getting a dub and being
- 39:09Speaker 7: 3-2 with a game-and-a-half lead in the division, the college football,
- 39:12Speaker 7: the big wins for local teams.
- 39:14Speaker 4: We didn't even mention Bone App State against Coastal.
- 39:17Speaker 6: And I know some of y'all are down on Dow Loggins.
- 39:19Speaker 4: That was some coaching the other day. Hell, yeah, it was.
- 39:22Speaker 6: With using Henry Hasselbeck, completely changing the offense with Henry
- 39:27Speaker 6: Hasselbeck and with Singleton Hurts. So got to give Dow
- 39:30Speaker 6: some love, man. But anyway, there's just so much to do.
- 39:32Speaker 6: We did two shows today, man. It's just, it's crazy.
- 39:36Speaker 6: They only make Finney do two shows, though. Finney will
- 39:38Speaker 6: do a second one later.
- 39:39Speaker 4: Did you just volunteer us for more? Finney.
- 39:41Speaker 6: Finney got that second show. But I'm just saying, it's just,
- 39:44Speaker 6: I just, this is the time of year, baby, to yap.
- 39:46Speaker 4: This is beautiful.
- 39:47Speaker 7: All right, let's get to some sounds of the weekend.
- 39:49Speaker 7: As opposed to the rest of the year when you're
- 39:51Speaker 7: not yapping? No, I'm yapping, but it's not near as
- 39:53Speaker 7: enjoyable and fulfilling. I mean, this is just a fulfilling
- 39:56Speaker 7: day to yap and be full of hot air.
- 39:58Speaker 4: All right.
- 40:00Speaker 6: Let's get into some of these sounds of the weekend,
- 40:03Speaker 6: shall we? And let's start it off, Bone Man, with
- 40:06Speaker 6: Jalen Coker giving love, because it is Tommy Tremble Appreciation
- 40:11Speaker 6: Day here today on this show, and it should be.
- 40:14Speaker 6: This is Jalen Coker giving some love to Tommy.
- 40:17Speaker 11: Huge, huge.
- 40:18Speaker 3: I mean, not only to come up with two scores,
- 40:19Speaker 3: but to make, you know, clutch blocks and, you know,
- 40:23Speaker 3: open holes up for Chuba, big catches. I think, yeah,
- 40:27Speaker 3: I think he's... We need him. He's unlike any other
- 40:30Speaker 3: guy I've been around, too.
- 40:32Speaker 4: How is that?
- 40:34Speaker 3: Just his work ethic. I mean, his ability to fight
- 40:36Speaker 3: through being banged up. I mean, I think he's just
- 40:38Speaker 3: the heart and soul of the team.
- 40:40Speaker 4: Love that.
- 40:41Speaker 7: Heart and soul of the team. Prediction on Tremble, Mac,
- 40:43Speaker 7: as we go forward. I wonder if he ends up
- 40:46Speaker 7: being a team captain at some point just because of
- 40:48Speaker 7: longevity and what he means and the way that the
- 40:51Speaker 7: guys talk about him. I wonder if, you know, next summer,
- 40:55Speaker 7: if Tommy Tremble's not, does it put a C on
- 40:57Speaker 7: his chest?
- 40:57Speaker 6: I could see it. I could go either way. I
- 41:00Speaker 6: could see it go either way. Like, is he one
- 41:02Speaker 6: of those guys that gets that nod? But he just
- 41:05Speaker 6: is an animal. I mean, I'm going to say that
- 41:06Speaker 6: word over and over again.
- 41:07Speaker 4: He's a savage.
- 41:08Speaker 7: I'm not saying– don't rip off Jansen's C.
- 41:12Speaker 4: I'm just saying, give him a C. His own C.
- 41:15Speaker 6: Another play to watch with Tommy in terms of his
- 41:17Speaker 6: savageness is sideline– fighting for yards on the sideline second half.
- 41:24Speaker 6: I mean, he is just a beast. And I like
- 41:26Speaker 6: the way Jalen said that, the heart and soul of
- 41:29Speaker 6: the team.
- 41:30Speaker 7: I think he's becoming more and more a fan favorite
- 41:32Speaker 7: also for the way that he plays like that.
- 41:34Speaker 4: I think we've got to appreciate him.
- 41:36Speaker 6: Instead of asking him to be Kellen Winslow and Shannon Sharp,
- 41:38Speaker 6: I think we've got to appreciate him for what he is.
- 41:40Speaker 6: I think that's where we've got to be now. with
- 41:42Speaker 6: Tommy tremble. Um, let's, let's go to something we're not
- 41:46Speaker 6: going to enjoy. And that is Charles Lee yesterday, three
- 41:50Speaker 6: days before the season opener, right? Season over is now
- 41:54Speaker 6: two days away on Wednesday night against the nets. This
- 41:56Speaker 6: was yesterday, uh, being asked about the status of Kobe
- 42:00Speaker 6: whites with the calf strain and con can nipple with
- 42:03Speaker 6: the hammy injury.
- 42:05Speaker 11: Uh, you know, I think that there's still no timeline
- 42:07Speaker 11: on those guys. They're making really good progress. I think
- 42:09Speaker 11: day by day, they've kind of stepped up what they've
- 42:11Speaker 11: been able to do on the court, adding some level
- 42:14Speaker 11: of contact to their workouts as well.
- 42:17Speaker 4: There is no timeline. This is not. This is not.
- 42:21Speaker 4: I don't. Season starts on Wednesday, by the way.
- 42:24Speaker 7: We're not. We're no longer like a week, 10 days,
- 42:26Speaker 7: two weeks. The season starts on Wednesday and there's no timeline.
- 42:30Speaker 6: I mean, is he like not wanting to share information
- 42:33Speaker 6: and or is that like the really bad sign? It
- 42:37Speaker 6: sounds like it could be. I mean, Khan, how long ago?
- 42:40Speaker 6: That was weeks ago, Khan. Weren't we like five weeks
- 42:41Speaker 6: ago Khan got hurt?
- 42:43Speaker 7: Yeah, because we talked to him three weeks ago and
- 42:45Speaker 7: he was two weeks removed from the.
- 42:47Speaker 4: He told us... That hammy's not healed yet? No, this
- 42:50Speaker 4: is not. This is not. I am officially.
- 42:52Speaker 7: I wasn't panicking a few weeks ago because we had time.
- 42:57Speaker 7: But now, now I'm starting to get... Now the old
- 43:00Speaker 7: Hornets history of injury starts to come into your mind now.
- 43:03Speaker 4: Now I'm... Now I'm worried. It sucks. I'm willing to
- 43:06Speaker 4: donate my own hamstring if I have to. It sucks.
- 43:08Speaker 6: It's like we already either took a step back or whatever.
- 43:11Speaker 6: However you want to phrase it without LaMelo. But I
- 43:14Speaker 6: still want us. We still have a good group. I
- 43:16Speaker 6: want to see what they can do without LaMelo. But
- 43:17Speaker 6: it's like if you don't have your starting backcourt. to
- 43:20Speaker 6: start the season, and Grant Williams. I wonder about Grayson Allen.
- 43:23Speaker 6: He hadn't played since the opening preseason game.
- 43:26Speaker 4: So, yeah, you're right. Here I am with Hornets injury neuroses.
- 43:31Speaker 4: Here I am.
- 43:32Speaker 7: I'm going to hit the button right here. Activate panic mode.
- 43:34Speaker 7: Panic mode. Activate Mac now in panic mode. Oh, man.
- 43:40Speaker 6: All right, let's get to something that is a little strange.
- 43:46Speaker 4: Michael Robinson. I like Michael Robinson at Penn State.
- 43:49Speaker 9: Boney.
- 43:50Speaker 6: I usually like him on TV, on the NFL Network.
- 43:53Speaker 6: I don't really understand what he was trying to accomplish
- 43:57Speaker 6: this weekend with this take about Jalen Hurts' blood clots.
- 44:01Speaker 6: He started by saying that the way the season was headed,
- 44:04Speaker 6: it's going to be a lost season, and it looked
- 44:06Speaker 6: like it was all going to be pinned on Jalen Hurts,
- 44:08Speaker 6: and then they could use him as a scapegoat and
- 44:11Speaker 6: move on. So now you're going to hear him suggesting
- 44:14Speaker 6: what Jalen Hurts is doing, Bone, because he saw that
- 44:17Speaker 6: they wanted to make him the scapegoat.
- 44:18Speaker 4: Listen to this take.
- 44:20Speaker 8: If I'm Jalen Hurts or anybody in Jalen Hurts' camp,
- 44:23Speaker 8: I'm saying, well, if everybody's hurt, I'm hurt too. Guys,
- 44:27Speaker 8: I've been cleated before. And I'm not saying, you know,
- 44:30Speaker 8: a superficial blood clot isn't serious. I'm not saying that.
- 44:33Speaker 8: But I would advise all of our viewers to go
- 44:35Speaker 8: Google superficial blood clot as opposed to a real blood clot.
- 44:38Speaker 8: And again, I'm not a medical guy. But I'm just saying,
- 44:42Speaker 8: to me, to me, it looked like Jalen is kind
- 44:46Speaker 8: of getting himself out of the fray so that this
- 44:49Speaker 8: lost season with Jim J.D. You just said it.
- 44:51Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 44:52Speaker 4: This is a lost season.
- 44:54Speaker 8: He's pulling himself out so that this doesn't look like.
- 44:57Speaker 4: It's on me.
- 44:58Speaker 8: Now, again, guys, I don't know nothing.
- 44:59Speaker 7: No, no, no.
- 44:59Speaker 4: In fairness, we have to stay away from the medical stuff. Yeah,
- 45:02Speaker 4: we do.
- 45:02Speaker 8: We do. But I'm just saying, they put in the statement,
- 45:05Speaker 8: superficial blood clot.
- 45:06Speaker 4: Look it up. What is it?
- 45:08Speaker 3: Okay.
- 45:10Speaker 4: I mean, why are we going there? I don't understand.
- 45:15Speaker 6: Even if that's what you think, some things maybe you
- 45:18Speaker 6: shouldn't say about guys and blood clots.
- 45:19Speaker 7: Well, first of all, it started out as superficial last week,
- 45:22Speaker 7: and then he played and it spread, and that's why
- 45:25Speaker 7: he's now out. I think they're still calling it superficial,
- 45:27Speaker 7: but to your point, the spreading is what is scary
- 45:30Speaker 7: because it can head right to the lungs here. Yeah,
- 45:34Speaker 7: I think, Matt, there's easier ways out of a season.
- 45:37Speaker 7: And I'm not saying Jalen Horst never did anyway, but
- 45:39Speaker 7: then having a blood clot situation take you out, you
- 45:42Speaker 7: could always... feign a back or a hamstring if that's
- 45:45Speaker 7: what you like why would you go the blood clot
- 45:48Speaker 7: route this is a very serious thing that i don't
- 45:50Speaker 7: feel comfortable if that was a like with taylor moten
- 45:54Speaker 7: mac we weren't sitting here going ah maybe taylor moan
- 45:56Speaker 7: just doesn't want to play football this year and this
- 45:58Speaker 7: is his way out of it like that would be
- 45:59Speaker 7: a ridiculous there's one person on the planet that would
- 46:02Speaker 7: be a ridiculous thing to say there's one person on
- 46:04Speaker 7: the planet who would act like this and we found
- 46:05Speaker 7: a mike mike rob from nfl network it's just and
- 46:08Speaker 7: and i get it motens was a p.e.
- 46:11Speaker 6: Pulmonary embolism, I think is what you call it when
- 46:13Speaker 6: you get a blood clot in the lungs. And Jalen's,
- 46:16Speaker 6: I guess, isn't to that stage yet.
- 46:18Speaker 4: But come on, man.
- 46:19Speaker 6: And by the way, if it's a lost season, why
- 46:21Speaker 6: wouldn't you want your quarterback to sit out and prevent
- 46:24Speaker 6: getting APE?
- 46:25Speaker 4: It's just crazy to me. Speaking of.
- 46:28Speaker 7: That's one of the... That's one of the dumbest comments
- 46:31Speaker 7: of the year. And think about how many dumb comments
- 46:33Speaker 7: we hear sometimes on this show. Sometimes for me. That
- 46:36Speaker 7: includes our comments and all of Skip Bayless' comments this year.
- 46:39Speaker 7: All right, real quick. I said it earlier, Bone.
- 46:42Speaker 6: There's no shame in Charlotte FC tying Philly 2-2. And
- 46:47Speaker 6: Kessler had a great chance to win it late with
- 46:49Speaker 6: a header. Philly had a great chance to win it late.
- 46:51Speaker 6: It was just truly an amazing match that felt like
- 46:53Speaker 6: a playoff match on Saturday. And it ended up in
- 46:56Speaker 6: a 2-2 draw. Philly was the hottest team and won
- 46:58Speaker 6: eight straight games. We actually kept them from tying our
- 47:00Speaker 6: record of consecutive wins in an all-time record that we
- 47:06Speaker 6: tied last year. So that was kind of cool, too.
- 47:08Speaker 7: We've got to indulge ourselves before we get back to
- 47:11Speaker 7: the Panthers game and who we're giving the credit to
- 47:14Speaker 7: for the win.
- 47:15Speaker 4: We got to indulge ourselves in Willie P.
- 47:17Speaker 6: So I guess we got to do the second goal, Finney,
- 47:21Speaker 6: the one that made it 2-1. We had the lead
- 47:24Speaker 6: in this game after trailing 1-0. Let's hear the dulcet
- 47:27Speaker 6: tones of the P-Man.
- 47:31Speaker 11: Left side, Schnegg.
- 47:33Speaker 4: Cross into the area. Toklamati headed it down.
- 47:36Speaker 9: He scores! Idan Toklamati with a brilliant header.
- 47:41Speaker 4: To give the crowd the lead in the 62nd minute.
- 47:45Speaker 5: Oh, what a ball.
- 47:47Speaker 4: Oh, what a better header.
- 47:48Speaker 8: The 13th goal for Idan Toklamati is luckier than you
- 47:53Speaker 8: could imagine.
- 47:55Speaker 4: There you go.
- 47:55Speaker 6: We now give a musical accompaniment to the P-Man.
- 48:00Speaker 4: Take NFL primetime highlights.
- 48:03Speaker 6: You can have Boomer and the NFL primetime music. I'm
- 48:06Speaker 6: taking P-Man or whatever the hell that music was. And
- 48:08Speaker 6: give me Ashley as Tom Jackson.
- 48:10Speaker 7: Anna, not Ashley. What am I thinking? Give me Anna
- 48:12Speaker 7: as Tom Jackson. I'll take you to stroke for some reason.
- 48:17Speaker 7: What the hell just happened?
- 48:17Speaker 6: Ashley Winnie. That clip will not be played when Anna
- 48:21Speaker 6: comes on next.
- 48:22Speaker 7: I was taken aback, Matt, because we just had a
- 48:24Speaker 7: big retirement happen during the show.
- 48:26Speaker 4: Oh, what's that?
- 48:27Speaker 7: Picante has retired from his Friday picks. He feels horrible.
- 48:31Speaker 7: He went 15-11 this week. It's unacceptable. He's turning in.
- 48:34Speaker 7: Did he miss all of his picks?
- 48:36Speaker 9: Yep.
- 48:37Speaker 4: Did he? He went 15-11.
- 48:39Speaker 7: Overall, and I think he missed all of his picks.
- 48:41Speaker 7: I think he missed all of his picks this week. Man,
- 48:43Speaker 7: even the Picante overs didn't hit this weekend, man. He's
- 48:45Speaker 7: now resigned and wants to apologize, but he's not offering refunds.
- 48:49Speaker 7: I got three messages this week, no lie, of people
- 48:51Speaker 7: upset with Picante's picks, including Coach Pauly. Oh, no. Picante, yeah,
- 48:55Speaker 7: he's getting out before the mob gets him. That's what
- 48:58Speaker 7: he saw the mob coming. I have a feeling Picante
- 49:01Speaker 7: will be back. Poor Picante, man. When we come back,
- 49:05Speaker 7: who gets the credit and the love? For the win
- 49:08Speaker 7: in Philly yesterday, Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
