Mac & Bone Hour 3: Sights & Sounds From Panthers Fan Fest · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, Owen's Mack and Bow on your radio, BAF my
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: frame back, Posh, Come on Posh in my frame team, Bone,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: what's up the fun?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I can't go to work without listening to Mack.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: And Bone do a lot.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't think they've changed at all.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: I think that I'm gonna continue to strive to be
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: a thousand yard receiver. That's what you know, I always
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: wanted to accomplish. So, I mean, that was my goal
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: coming in as a rookie. Of my goal last year,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: That'll be my goal this year. And it's just gonna
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: whatever I can do to help the team is what
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I'm is what I'm gonna try my best to do.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: So if that's you know, if that looks like six
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: hundred yards, and it doesn't matter to me as long
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: as we're winning football games, and I'll continue to just
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: put my best foot forward.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: Jalen Coker, talking about his goal, says he still wants
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: that thousand yard season. Stay healthy, big fella, and I
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: think you could get close to that. If not there.
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: Looking forward to seeing him and Bryce continue to develop
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: their chemistry. They had some great moments the other night
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: at FanFest. That was Coker talking after FanFest. Coker had
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: a moment that wasn't so great that he was able
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: to laugh about afterwards. We're gonna get to here in
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: a second. I wasn't laughing at this. It was so
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: it was so funny given the context. But we've also
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: got to talk about the prolific passing game Bryce, Kenny Pickett.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: I ain't joking, man. Kenny Pickett was out there slinging,
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: especially to Bryce and Tremaine late in practice. It was
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: a fun night Panther fan Fest, and we're gonna talk
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: about what I want to hear from y'all. Two on
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: the Panther FanFest fan experience, forty seven thousand people there
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: to watch.
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: A practice were talking about practice. That's as close as
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: I can get. Bone, That's all I got hold on here.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: Why is your Alan Iverson turning into Jima talking about practice, practice, practice,
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: a game, practice, practice, playoffs.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Do you think I'm combining the two together?
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: You've got the ivers words voice.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: We talked about this earlier, Bone, and I would hope
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: I would think we're going to get some of the
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: same feedback from y'all that if you were, if you
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: were among the forty seven thousand on Friday Night these
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: last two years. The way they've done it, and I
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: do think that they are the way that they're thinking
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: might be. We got to give you something fun. We
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: got to make this night better for fans because you
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: can't come out to any training camp practices.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: And that'll change next year.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: The field house, the indoor practice untility to be done
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: and fans will be back out at training camp. But
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: I do think that's part of what Dave Canalis has
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: done the last couple of years, trying to make it
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: like an innsquad scrimmage, essentially keeping score. I think that's
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: probably part of it, but it really does make it better.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Canalis too gets it, takes the microphone and we have
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: timed at the last two years bone so by the
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: time that we are rolling in there, it's Dave Canalis
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: on the microphone saying, Okay, we've warmed up, we're ready
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: to start the scrimmage.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: But they just get it. It's such a cool fan event, man,
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: it really is. It's also built for canals. It's upbeat,
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: it's positive. Yeah, a lot of energy, so he does
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: really well in that environment. There's not a lot of
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: downtime as opposed to regimes of the past. But there's
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: a lot of individual drills, want of warm ups, want
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: to stand in a lot of walking.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: But at least by the time we get there, I
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: know they do warm up.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: But once this event gets going, it's just like watching
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: a scrimmage two football teams playing, rather than going through
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: all the running through the motions of the drills they
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: used to do big time.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: Really to kind of be like, all right, we're gonna
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: do these drills for the fans, even though we're just
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: kind of doing them half speed.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was. This feels more like real football now. Listen.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: I saw the time that that Lathan Ransom could have
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: lit up Coker on one of those passes that Bryce
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: hit him at downfield. There were a lot of times
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: where you see, okay, the defense has got a layoff, guys. Right,
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: there was one the deep ball from Pickett to Tremaine
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: at the end. It's like he probably could have been
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: hit there. But so it does favor the offense. So
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: when I keep telling you how good Bryce looked to
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Pickett was slinging it, you know, the t Mac and
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: Coker had big nights takeing with a grand assault too,
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: because the defense is kind of not necessarily a favor
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: in that. But I did notice defensive plays too. Princely
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: was in the backfield a ton, which is a good sign.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: He's one of the number one guys we want to
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: watch this preseason. Will Lee covering T Mack had a
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: real nice pass breakup cam Gill's. Another guy had to
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: look up the roster. Who the heck is that? Oh,
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: he's in the backfield again, cam Gill. So there are
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: some guys, but mostly Bone. It was an offensive show
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: passing game show. Corey Dillon had a pretty ridiculous cat
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: yllan AJ Dillon Corey Dillon. AJ Dillon had a pretty
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: ridicul catch out of the backfield. Had a couple catches
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: out of the backfield. But they just do it. It's
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: just fun like it really, I gotta be honest with you.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: In the pass bone fan fest, you get there, you'd
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: be like, oh, yeah, it's just practice. They do the
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: best to make this feel almost like, I don't know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: like a college football spring game used to feel like, right,
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: you know, very good comparison.
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: dB and Devin Lloyd did not play. They got vet
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: days and Horn and Mike Jack were there in the
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: first half, and they came off for the second half.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: So it's not like you saw all the guys for
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: very long, but you saw you saw enough to make
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: yourself feel anticipation for the season, rather than fan fest
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: off the past, where you felt like the fan base
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: was sitting ground like they were about to walk the
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: Green mile man, like, oh no, we have to watch
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: this team the whole year. It feels like there's an
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: excitement in an anticipation for what this team can be
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: big out of unknown.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: But that's all right. It's gonna be a fun season.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: I think the injuries have bummed us out a little bit,
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: but I do believe bone we will get our panther
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: spirit back. I get that and get the excitement back
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: because we are defending a division championship. I don't know
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: if anybody's noticed. That's not normal around here of Lake,
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: not normal.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Division.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Thank you, sir, Thank you, sir. I appreciate that Monroe
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Freeling was out there. People are asking uh, and I
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: thought he held up fairly well. He's going against Phillips
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: a lot, so he is getting a dang education, man.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: No doubt about it. He's going to get a big
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: education soon. When he sees Will Anderson for the scrimmage. Yes,
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: in the joint sessions.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: Anderson, Daniel Hunter and now Jenevian Clowney, they go. They
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: go three deep now at edge rushers after signing Clowney.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: All right, let's get into some of the sounds of
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: the night. Let's start with Jalen Coker's moment bone that
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: didn't go so well. Dave Canalis also understanding it's supposed
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: to be a fun night, he wants to dial up
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: some trick plays. They actually had a fourth down fake
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: field goal to uh Felipe Franks that worked beautifully. By
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: the way, fits money nailing multiple fifty plus yard field
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: goals won't give him a little love as well. But
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: they tried a Jalen Cocher pass play and listen to
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: Jalen Coker, the ball was thrown right to j C.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Horn. It was ugly.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Listen to Jalen Coker talk about that play.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: See you got one on you? Oh yeah, yeah, of course.
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: You shouldn't have been there basically, but no, I probably
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: just got to throw that at a bound but sweet
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: pain to do though.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Were you excited that that play was called.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: And yeah, of course I was excited. I was disappointed
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: with the result, definitely, but but no, yeah, I think
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: just for the coaching staff to trust me in a
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: position like that, I know it's just fan Fest, but
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: you know, down the line, hopefully we can work some
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: of that stuff in. I think I still got some
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: some stuff left in the tank. But yeah, no, I
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: think it's just a again. They just believe in me.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: The best part about this fitty is that Bone said
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: in the office the other day after watching Jalen.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Coker set it on the air, Oh, did you say
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: it on the air? Yes? Oh, I thought it was
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: off the air. No, you called this. You wanted this.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: Because the video went viral where he flips the ball
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: with his foot last week and caught it behind his back.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: Then he wants to throw down the field with quarterback
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: leg Armstright and I said, oh man, they need to
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: put that. Maybe it was it not on the air.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: I can't remember it's on The lines are blurring right now.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: Anyway, which you suggested they need to work this play
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: into the playbook, and they, sure enough they did it
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: at fan Fast.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: It was so funny.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: He comes around, they give him the ball running around
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: right and we're like, oh, there it is there, it
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: is Coker's gonna throw and literally six yards downfield right
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: to j. C.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Horn now Jayleen Cocher.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Because they couldn't let him off bone with just a
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: couple of answers, they had to get more answers about
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: Jyalen Cocher throwing a ball?
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Uh is it in his future? Listen? Listen to listen
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: to some more of this.
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: Did they come to you and like, hey, we want
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: you to run.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I was hoping that my throwing on the sideline would
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: have would have sparked it, and it did and now
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: it's you know, now we're gonna have to rebuild again.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: But it's all right, it's okay.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Though we've seen you throw probably thirty thirty five yards
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: in practice with the trainer, like, how how much confidence
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: do you have in that arm?
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I have a lot of confidence, A lot of confidence
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: for sure. Played one game of quarterback in high school,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: so I'm basically like vested. But uh but no, yeah,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I mean whatever the team asked me to do. One game,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: go oh we lost for like three hundred yards and
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: just couldn't get in then zone.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: Though after that time.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: No, No, he didn't say anything, but I eye contact.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I could tell he's gonna.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: He's getting peppered about this throw. He's having a blast
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: though talking about it. I so Bone, you were alone.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: I said it on the air on Friday. Okay, so
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: you weren't alone. People are now mad at you for
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: not listening to my ideas on the air.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: I just it all rid, guys.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: I hang out with Bone and the offices here like
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: it all runs together.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Man, sometimes it all runs together. Where did Bone tell
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: me that? I don't know.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: Let me say this. I have good ideas on the
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: ear and off the air. Yes, it doesn't matter. It
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: could be either way. But Canalis and Inzick they saw
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: the same thing. Jalen says they saw it and throw
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: and practice said we got to put something in for you,
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: so we'll see. I still think they could go to
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: something with him. I'm not to turn Bone, and I
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: don't think you should be either. I still think with
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: that arm they could go to something at some point
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: mid season, give him one more shot.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: I think J. C. Horn knew was coming. It's part
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: of the problem with this.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: It should He's right though, it should have been thrown
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: out of bounds. It's just the arm's good. The decision
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: making not good. Apparently that's the review.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: Maybe we put maybe we put this away until we
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: and then we forget about it and bust it out
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: later on. I think you gotta do it, man, all
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: you gotta. Don't you use this week one? So now
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: now give him some time. You better breathe a little bit,
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: all right? So seven four five, seven oh nine six cent.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: If you have thoughts, if you're at FanFest, what'd you
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: think of a fan It's also it's an awesome family
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: event too.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: It's a real cool family event. And then they bring
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: out Asher Harvey six years old, give him to make
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: a wish moment where he gets to play quarterback and
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: finish the game off by running the ball in from
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: one yard out. Like it's just it's just stuff like that. Man,
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: it's just a fun night. There's so many kids there
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: that got the legends doing autographs. Trey Boston continues bone
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: to be the most excitable Panther legend ever at any
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: of these events.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: He was cranked. But it's just a cool, fun night.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: And I do think, you know, I do think they realize, man,
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: it sucks you can't bring your kids out to practice
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: right now until next year.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: I think they they're giving you a great event. Uh,
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: it's great. It's a great celebration of Panther football. It
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: is man, It's a great way to kick it off.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: And now the real stuff starts, the real intense stuff
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: bone the Hall of Fame game on Thursday night. Texter
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: is asking who starts at quarterback in Canton on Thursday night.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: It's got to be Picket, right, Like, you don't think
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: Bryce is starting, is he? There's only three arms on
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: the roster right now, right because Kyle trashk they inside draft.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: He talked about that the other day and said, basically,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: we have so many needs elsewhere deep on the roster
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: that we can't bring Trash.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: There was three quarterbacks.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: I may say that Picket doesn't even play, but I think, huh, Bryce,
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: what you're saying.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: If you're saying Bryce about Bryce.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: Saying if they had Trask in there, I'm not even
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: sure how much Picket would even play. No, oh really yeah,
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: outside of one series, but Teddy Kny Piggott definitely starts
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: because they're not gonna make haydnes King play the whole
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: entire game. So but yo, so you're definitely saying Bryce
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: is not playing. Bryce is not playing. Oh yeah, I'm
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: with you on that. Yeah, it'll be It'll be Pickett
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: and Haines King. There's only two arms. So my point
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: is if they had Kyle Trass, we probably wouldn't see
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: a lot of Picket either. But because they only have
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: two quarterbacks, they're not gonna make Hayneses King play the
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: entire game. Okay, so Picket will play for a series
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: or two. Yeah, that's what I mean. It could be
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: a half. I don't know, they could each take a half.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: It's we have not been in this spot in forever, right,
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: so it's just it's it's uncharted. Waters Canalist will often
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: not play Guys Bone much at all in the preseason
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: as it was. I think every does every starter sit.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: I think close to every starter sits. Yes, you know,
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: maybe someone like Lee Hunter they get out there as
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: a rookie.
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: Do you consider ex elis starter as a third wide
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: out because he's probably gonna have to play, So I
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: think he plays. I think he might play some. They
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: need to get him in game action and they needed
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: they need to maximize his opportunities.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: I would think Canalis will be asked that question today
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: because we've only got two more practices before Wednesday. They're
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: traveling to Canton, so you've got today and tomorrow, So
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: I would expect today the questions to start to be
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: asked about who are you playing, who's not playing?
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: Nim won't play, Brooks definitely won't play. Yeah, those two
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: guys will not play in there. So offensive line maybe
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: a series, but freely probably maybe for a series maybe.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: I feel like most teams don't even play starters, you
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: know what I mean, Like they literally may set out
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: every starter. So we're gonna have to find out when
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: this weekend comes up. I did want to let you
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: hear Coach Canalis or Thursday night, not this weekend. We're
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: only three days away. Coach Canalis I mentioned Princely being
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: active bone On Friday night, Coach Canalis talked about the
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: second year edge rusher.
• 14:42
  Speaker 9: Honestly, Princely, since the beginning of camp has really been
• 14:45
  Speaker 9: one of our guys on defense, chasing the ball all
• 14:47
  Speaker 9: over the field. And this is really cool to watch
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: him and Nick come in at the same time. And
• 14:51
  Speaker 9: we know how Nick plays and with this just relentless effort,
• 14:54
  Speaker 9: and Princelely has been that guy. He's chasing everything down.
• 14:57
  Speaker 9: He's working on his craft and to push himself in
• 15:01
  Speaker 9: different rush packages. And he's a guy that I'm really
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: excited to see where he goes.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: He's huge, man, He's one of the X factors Sam
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Jonathan Brooks. He may be the Jonathan Brooks in the defense.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: You know, if he can make a big jump. I'm
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: not a convenience.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: It's not true what Canals is saying, but I also
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: think there's something here where Canals is also right now
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: trying to talk up Princely too, because they know how
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: valuable he now is to this operation. So it's a
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: little bit of they're trying to get as confidence as
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: high as it can be when the season begins. I
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: did think he flashed the other No, he definitely did.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: But the reason Canals is also going to talk him
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: up it's justified. But there's also you know, they they
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: desperately need Princely to fill that voint in Nick's court.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: They do they need they could use his I mean,
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: we need pass rush badly. We brought in Jalen Phillips.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: We need it badly. We've been one of the worst
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: pass rushes in the NFL boon in the last few seasons,
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: and that is his bag, that is his specialty, and
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: I would expect him to make a jump. I do
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: want to point out Bone, what is going on on
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: the text line right now. There is a movement from
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: our Mac and Bone show texters that Dave Canalis needs
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: to play Bryce Young and that Dave Canalis needs to
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: play the starters, that they need to take advantage of
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: the extra preseason game. So this something I thought Bone
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: would be accepted by everybody, is that, Yeah, most of
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: those guys are not going to play.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: We may just may become a thing on the texts. Guy,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: we could want that.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: Those guys could want that all they want, but they're
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: not getting it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: Is that because they want a reason to stay invested
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: longer than they probably like, we'll sit here and watch
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: the entire game because that's our job. How many of
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: these fans back when they realize this is the worst
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: level of preseason football. You watching the entire preseason will
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: be gone by the middle of the second quarter because
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: like you not like.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Your twos may play a driven too. Let me let me,
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: let me get let me figure out how we go.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: What's happening here.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: Panther Fitty Bone is questioning his fallow Panther fans. Panther
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: Fitty is beginning year two Bone of his return to
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: Panther fan.
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: I sort of point that out. Yes, that's sort of point.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: I think what it is he's got he's got He's
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: got a platform, y'all, he's got a platform. I think
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: what's going on?
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: If you can read some of these texts, it is
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: what we talk about every year, the slow starts that
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: the Dave Canalis has been very apprehensive Bone to play
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Bryce and the Starters a lot, and I think we,
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: many of us, have wanted to see it more. I
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: think that's all it is. But they're taking this to
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: a Hall of Fame game that just no one anymore
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: plays Starters.
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I think that discussion will be next week,
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: next week and after that.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: That's kind of how I feel. This week. I didn't
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: even quit. I didn't even think anything about Starters playing
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: this week.
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: I would question if they played him, that would be
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: the conversation, why would you play?
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: That's That's what I'm saying. There's nothing the game.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: Chris Harmon, says Roaring Ryde has two hundred plus people
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: Bone going to Canton. They play it's they Harmon. I
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: know you lost some weight so they can't put you
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: on the line anymore, baby, but maybe skill position somewhere
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: that that'll be a hell of a time for Panther fair.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: What a celebration Bone of the Panthers returning to action,
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: but also Luke on Saturday.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: And celebrating Luke. Our second guest of the day in
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: that Kurt Coleman, former teammate of Luke's, will join the
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: show about what do he thinks of Luke going to
• 18:26

• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Sports Radio ninety two seven wfn Z.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Everybody remember that the Mac and Bone Show is there
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: for you, not just from six to ten. We're there
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: for you whenever you need us. Right podcast form, that is,
• 19:05

• 19:07
  Speaker 5: so much Panther football we're talking about nowadays, you know
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: any part you missing.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: The show.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: Each hour is podcasted on its own WFNZ, dot com,
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: Apple and Spotify. For example. We started off our Luke
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: Keighley Appreciation week interviews with Steve Speck as head coach
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: at Saint Xavier and Cincinnati. That was an hour ago.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: Go to the seven o'clock hour and tune into that.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: But he was tremendous telling some old stories about young
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Luke Keighley in high school. Still a film nut in
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: high school. I'm sure nobody is surprised by that at all.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Our next guest played three seasons here in Carolina with Luke,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: and he is here on Luke Keighley Appreciation Week to
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: talk about what it was like to play behind Luke Keighley.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: He was watching Luke tell everybody where every play was going.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: He is Kurt Coleman, former safety for your Carolina Panthers,
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: who joins us here on the Mack and Bone Show.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Kurt, what's going on? How you doing here?
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Guys? Hold on? I need to clear something. I thought
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: this was about me telling everyone that I was telling
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Luke where to go.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Oh heck yeah. If that's the real story, we'd love
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: to know the real story, man.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: This is about trying to get you some credit. That's
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: what this is about.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Her was yelling to Luke and Luke was cheating.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: He's like I acted like he knew where what now
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: we've got to see.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: That is great man.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: That is so you do you have a play or
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: moment when you hear the name lou Keikley. Is there
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: a play or a moment that comes to mind that
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: you think best sums up who he was as a player.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's one singular play that you can
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: just say this. This is I think the greatest linebacker
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: that I got to witness, whether that was on his
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: team or on the opposite side of him, but just
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: being in the locker room, being on the field, and
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: really just listening to his mannerism, his cadences, I think
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: it just it speaks to everything that he is. And
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: there's so much more about him that I think people
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: won't even be able to get to you because there
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: is so much. I think one of the best things
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: that I keep telling people this is even off the field,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: the moment that I first walked into the locker room
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: of Carolina, he was the first person to greet me,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: and the first thing he says is, Hey, if there's
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: anything you need anyone to be introduced to, just let
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: me know. I'll be more than happy to walk you
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: through this and that and I was like, Wow, like
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: it it is. Everyone's going to speak to the greatness.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: And I think I have a couple of stories that
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: I would love to share, but I want to speak
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: to the to the humility of him as well. This
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: this man is absolutely amazing inside and out, has got
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: a great heart. But when you talk about competitors, that
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: guy knows how to go. But if you're talking about
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: a specific play, there's a couple of them. But the
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: first one I would say is this. We are playing
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Seattle at home in our divisional roalm and it was
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: a third down situation and it was one of those
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: things where again I was a few years older than Luke.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: So he did his film study, I do my film study.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: We meet throughout the week, we do all this, and
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: I remember this vividly. We had we were crushing him
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: and then they started to creep back in, creep back in, Yeah,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: and they came out in this formation and I was like, oh,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: I know what's happening. And Luke goes, They're running the
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: dig and I'm like, no, they ain't running the dig.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: They're not running the dig.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Sure enough, they ran the dig.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: And I looked at him and I'm like I am
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: so sorry. I I will never doubt you again. But
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: it's the man is amazing, and he knows when to
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: turn it on and he knew when to turn it off.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: He is an absolute great human being. But like I said,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: he is a Hall of Famer inside and out.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's there.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: There's that's another layer to him is just how genuine humble,
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: Like you said, just like a night, like everybody would
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: want like Luke as their neighbor, Like everybody would of
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: your he's your neighbor. He's the guy that will help
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: you with anything.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Like.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: It's just that that's such a cool part of the
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: package too. How did he like, like we always kind
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: of compare it, even though Cam had the Superman Moniker here,
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: we always compared it to like Luke had this Clark
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: Kent persona off the field and then would all of
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: a sudden become this superhero on the field. How like,
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: how did he did he literally just walk on the
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: field and then flip the switch? Did you notice on
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: game day? Oh we got a different Luke. It's game day, Like,
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: how was he like kind of flipping that switch?
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think people say the Clark Kent
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: thing because of how he looks. He looks literally like
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: the cartoon Clark Kent.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's more of a.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Bruce Banner than he is a superman.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: He he is actually an incredible scientist. He is the
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: he is the professor like he is in their studying
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Bruce Banner. Yeah. And then when you piss him off,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: you better watch out because he is out for blood
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: and he does not care what he messes up in
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: his path. That is really Luke. But you know, obviously
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: it looks nice to call him Clark Camp, but he
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: is the Bruce Bayder.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: I love all the superhero I love that. That's beautiful, Kurt.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: Let's go back a few years. January twenty twenty, the
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: news breaks out Luke Keikley's retiring. What was your initial reaction. Well,
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: when that news dropped, you know.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: I the first thing is I sent him, you know
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: cinema text message is to say what a great career
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: and how you know, grateful I was to spend three
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: years of his career together. Just you know, again, just
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: being around great people, great players. You just got to
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: appreciate it while you're in the moment and then give
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: them their flowers while you still can you know, regardless,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: you don't know how things are going to shake out
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: as far as will he be in the Hall of Fame,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: this and that, and everyone will say, you know, we
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: would have loved to have seen him play another ten years,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, without a doubt. But at the end of
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: the day, he came and he did what exactly what
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: he was supposed to do. And I think the blessing
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: for Luke is there's many facets to him. You know,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: there's the football player, but he's he's the hunter, he's
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: the fisher, he's he's the businessman, he's he's really the
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: the you know, he's the philanthropist. He'll show up and
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: now he's the youth coach. So it's like he's there's
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: so many layers to Luke. But I think as one
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: chapter ends and coincidentally, like our chapters were ending at
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: the same time, and I think you just got to
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: appreciate the journey. And I feel like Rivera used to
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: always say, be where your feet are, and I think
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Luke was such a smart person to know this is
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the time. You know, yeah, could I fight for one
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: more two? But what does that do? You know? On
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: the back end, of my life, and I think he
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: left exactly when he needed to leave. He put into
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: the game exactly what he did, and you can walk
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: away with no regrets. That's what this game does, is
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: the ones that are able to get it all out
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: of their system, regardless if it's on your terms or
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: someone else's terms. You can say I gave it everything
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I got and I can live with that, and I
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: can say he can. He can walk away and say
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I gave this game everything I needed and everything I
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: could while I couldn't.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: We're talking with Kirk Coleman, who, by the way, had
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: a Pro Bowl year. Twenty fifteen was a special year
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: for so many of us in Carolina. Luke included Kurt
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: seven picks Pro Bowl season that year, and my god,
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: that defense was so good. Kurt the film study stuff
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: like is he in there like way? Like is he
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: sleep in the film room or is he just so
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: sharp that he just sees things in the film that
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: others don't, or is it all of it?
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Is it ever? Is it all of it together?
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: It's it's got to be all of it because the
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: one thing that coaches and will do is coaches will
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: feed you every information and nugget and tip that they
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: can to get you ready. It's the great ones that
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: can recall it and recall it literally as it's happening
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: or before it happens. I think that's that's the thing
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: about studying is you never know when you have to
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: kind of pull back a layer that you said, oh
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: my gosh, I watched it on a Monday. They did,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: they're doing it again. There's a few times in my
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: career where I can say every like, you never know
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: when that moment is. And there's there's times where you
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: just have to put in the time. You can't shortcut
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: the process and if you do, and those that do,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: they're gonna get burned on, you know, at some point.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: So I feel like your process is your process and
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: for me and I know for Luke, there's a rhythm
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: in to the week. And that's what I loved about
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: football is you knew exactly what you were going to
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: get on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday as far as the practice expectations.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: But the one thing you can't adjust for is the
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: team that you're playing for and who you're going against.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: And what I loved is when you got to go
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: with some of the great quarterbacks. Boy did I oh
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: man a little bit extra a little a little extra
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: hour here understanding red zone tendencies, third downs because first
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: and second down obviously, I think that's the majority of
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: the game. But really you win and lose a third downs,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: You win and lose in red zone and critical situations.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Two minute drives, Like what does the team do when
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: they need a first time? What do they do when
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: they're driving? Like that's why Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: or you know, all these great call it teams or
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: players or they execute so well because they know exactly
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: what they're doing. So for for I know, Luke, for myself,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: it was I'm gonna know exactly what you're doing better
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: than what you're doing so that I can beat you
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: to that spot. And that's that's the moments that really
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: separate the good from grades.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: Kurt, that twenty fifteen team the greatest team and most
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: beloved team in Charlotte sports history. Do you have a
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: moment or a game that stands out to you as
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: your favorite from that season?
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: You know, I would love, Alex, I would love to
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: buy a vow. I want to I want to say
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: two games that really just stand out and it's gonna
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: and I want to prop up Luke. But the first
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: one was Dallas Cowboys on third or on a Thanksgiving game,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: and I remember going into that game and it was
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: crazy because we were still underfeed and everyone was like,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: you guys are going to lose. You know you're going
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: to in America's stadium, this and that, and we were
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: underdogs Vegas. Everyone says they don't pay attention to that,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: but you hear it. You don't have to pay attention
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: to it, but you hear it. And we went down
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: there with such a chip on our shoulder. From the moment,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I think before the smoke left the stadium, we were
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: already putting a beat down on him. And the funny
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: thing was I had already had an interception in that
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: game and Luke had already had an interception that game.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: They tried to run. Jason wentten across on a deep cross.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: We are in cover two, so really the my cast
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: a run with number three over the middle, and Jason
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: went and did a good job understanding that it was
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: split high and so he's trying to really keep it
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: between the safeties. Luke is responsible with three as vertical
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: he's got a run with three, so Luke is just
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: tailing him Ryan under he's witting, and Romo loves that ball,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: and I come across as a oh buddy, this is
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: number two. Next thing, I know, I don't know where
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: he got the jet packed, but Luke jumps up, intercepts it,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: and I'm midair, so like this is all happening in milliseconds.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: So I my face goes from yes to oh my gosh,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: to okay, let me destroy Jason went and I just
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: clobber him and and you know, Luke gets a second interception,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: and but I thought that was just such an amazing experience,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: just as a team by me again, just again witnessing greatness,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: like there's only so many people on this on this
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: earth that can actually make that play. And then the
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: second one of the of the season was our national
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: our NFC championship game. It was one of those weeks
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: where we had a crazy storm of snow and ice
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: and you know, you know, very un Charlatanian, and I
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: was not I was not happy. I was like I
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: left the North for this, But but it was it
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: was really magical kind of see our team because we
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: had an opportunity again to practice indoors, and everybody was like,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: we're going outdoors. We are practicing in the snow. You
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: know that we had them kind of basically snowplow our
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: fields and it's like, let's get out here, let's get
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: it after this because when Arizona comes up here, they're
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: not going to know what hit him. And sure enough,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: that's kind of the Again, the feeling that we had
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: is it didn't matter who we played. We knew we
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: were the better team and we were excited about just
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: again displaying all the things and having fun with it.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: There was there's man, it was palpable the energy that
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: was out there amongst the fans, in our team, in
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: our locker room, all the things that we did, like
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: it was so much fun. Yes, we were winning, but
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: the winning didn't make it fun. We were having fun
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: and we got to win and that was what was
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: so cool. And obviously you know Luke's plant and drive,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I mean it is a coach a coach's clinic tape.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: You know when people watch what he did to get
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: that take safe, perfect plant, and he knew it was coming.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: That's the thing. He knew it was coming. He did
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: exactly what we worked on in the drills. Playing us
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: foot pot it ran it for a touchdown, someone falls
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: out of the out of the stand.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: And he helps him up and picks him up.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: This is the craziest thing for me.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, man, I'm gonna come check on you
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: after I get done celebrated. But he literally stops in
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: the middle. It's you, you can't, you can't make this
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: up and so and just to be able to celebrate
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: with our team and our community. That was the two
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: special games that I You know, there's many more, but
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: those are the two that really stick out the most
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: of me.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: Kurt. It was great man, You're always great to talk to.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: And next interview, we're not going to ruin Luke's week
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: right with the Hall of Fame and all that. Next
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: interview is going to be all about how you made
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: Luke those three years. You know what I mean.
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: You just you gave them all the keys, all the secrets.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: Uh, thank you so much for coming on.
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: We appreciate that was great.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Thank you guys. I appreciate you having me all.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: I'd be good, Kurt.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: The Kirk Colvin's safety Cans for three years would Keikley.
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: Do you can feel the love and appreciation he has
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: for a week coming through those stories, right?
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: I know?
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: I love the way everybody that was with him over
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: there talks about him. Man, you know, everyone their own
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: moments and their own stories. We come back a look
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: at the ACC and SEC media preseason polls.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: Who was overrated? Who was underrated? Sports Radio nine.
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: He's one correct And with what he said yesterday he
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: ended this conversation Shay, it was virtuo. So it was brilliant.
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: A lot of back and forth the last two weeks,
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: and the SEC has lost this verbal battle, just like
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: they lost the battle on the football field. I don't
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: need to regurgitate the statue. Laid them out. He laid
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: them out. But he did it so effectively, so succinctly,
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: and with such force because he has the goods, he
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: has the receipts.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: To back it up.
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: And as someone who as you well know, and some
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: of the audience can attest to, I have waived this
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: flag for the SEC for a long time. You have
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: to put that flag down at some point and just
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: let the field do the talking. Because all of the
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: back and forth, whether it's the commissioner, whether it's Nick
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: Saban last week saying the SEC is still the best
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: just makes the SEC look ridiculous.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: Is that music to the ears of a lot of
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: you fans out there? That is Paul fine bomb Bone.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: He did not wave a white flag during the interview,
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: but that was the verbal surrender. The Big Ten is kicking.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: Our fannies were not the best anymore. They even beat
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: us off the field. He was talking about Kurt Signetti's
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: comments about the SEC where he body bagged them.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: They beat us on the field. Oh not.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: That's got to be heartwarming folks that are not fans
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: of the SEC to hear that right there from Ball. Absolutely,
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: Greg Sankie, you'll never hear that from Greg sank though, Bone.
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: Greg sanky just goes five. Hey, somebody find me some
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: metrics where we're still number one, all right, I don't
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: care what they are.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Just find me some.
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: Other mesage, no matter what, just find me something. Oh
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: my goodness, all right.
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: So I want let's I want to get to the
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: SEC here to segment, but I also want to talk
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: acc We are going to attempt Bone to explain what
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: happened in the courts with college football. In the next segment,
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: nine o'clock. We'll also talk about Charlotte FC losing to
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: a dang world class striker Robert Lewandowski in Chicago. Will
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: talk about the Braves the weekend. They had tons of wins,
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: multiple trades, all that stuff. But right now, though, let's
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: just we had not talked about it, Bone, we've been
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: so into different stuff. Let's find a couple of minutes,
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: like just with our thoughts on the ACC media poll
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: which was announced last week and the SEC media poll
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: which was announced I think ten days ago, and like
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: where they have teams and who sticks out to you
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: as overrated and underrated for the ACC. Will start there.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: Miami obviously number one underrated for the ACC. I think
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: you could say Miami is underrated in this respect. Bone,
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: there were twenty three first place votes they didn't get.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: How does that happen?
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: But anyway, they were overwhelming Number one SMU two, Louisville three,
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: Clemson four, Georgia Tech five, Virginia six, NC State seven.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: Then you have Virginia Tech eight, Pitt nine, Duke ten,
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: Florida State eleven, col twelve, Wake thirteen, Syracuse fourteen, North
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: Carolina fifteen, Boston College sixteen, Stanford seventeen, but some loon
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: ball picked them with a first place.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: Vote to win the conference.
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: Maggie used to be a lot easier when this conference
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: had nineteens. You didn't get winded. I think an oxygen mask.
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: So does anybody stick out to you? Overrated? Underrated in
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: this thing?
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: Bone?
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: I had four actually written down here. I think the
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: teams you wisted at five and six despite the progress
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: they've made the last couple of years. I think Georgia
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: Tech's got an adjustment without Haines King, who really was
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: everything for them the last handful of years. I think
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: they're overrated at five. Virginia made a lot of progress
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: last year. Are we completely buying in? They're better? But
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: are they six? So I think Georgia Tech Virginia go
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: to me in the overrated category.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I kind of buy that too, Like are they
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: they're not going to quite have the year that they
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: had last year for Georgia Tech the year they've had
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: the last couple You don't just loan lose Haines King,
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: a player that's special that is now of course with
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: the Panthers, and and not skip a beat, I'll then
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: tell I'll then piggyback off that and then people say,
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: here goes well pack Mack. But I look at NC
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: State and feel like they can be in that area
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: with the skin and listen.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'm maybe I'm a homer, and maybe I'm wrong.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Lord knows.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: I picked State this time of year in the pass
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: to be really good. Sometimes it's a missed, I've whiffed.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: But I feel like with their schedule that they have
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: and with CJ. Bailey back at quarterback, I would put
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: them in that area where I think they can contend
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: for like fourth or fifth in the conference.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: I think that that underrated for stake.
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: That five through nine and Duke will see, but five
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: through nine, you can flip all those around. I think
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: Georgia Tech, Virginia too high, State too low, Virginia Tech
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: too low. Although their schedules tough at the end, I
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: think you could go NC State five Virginia Tech.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: I was thinking the same thing.
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and also a team that can steak up on
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: you some years. Don't sleep on Pittsburgh also being better
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: than number nine. Their quarterback was really good last year
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: as a freshman. I think Pittsburgh can be probably better
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: than the Virginia Jeordia Texas. Yeah, yeah, we always sleep on,
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: always sleep on him. And it feels like when we
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: don't pay attention to them is when we look up
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: and all of a sudden they're six and one in
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: the conference, and how that happened.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: The only time we pay attention to Nardoozy in the
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: off season bone is when he does his annual the
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: acc is better than the Big ten speech. He did
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: that a couple of weeks ago, and we bagged on it.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: But he can coach Florida State two. Not overrated at
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: number eleven. But how the heck did they get three
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: first place votes? That's a great question. Danny Canell sneak
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: three votes in the ej Manuel got one in there?
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: Are you kidding me? They ain't winning the dang conference?
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: But eleventh fifth probably feels about right. Wake Forest thirteen.
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: I wonder a few now, Gee Lopez back with his
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: South Alabama offensive coordinator.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: Could Jake Dicker overachieve again a little bit?
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: He remember, just did spots. He did it last year
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: better than Col's. Also got a great quarterback too. Yeah,
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: what if they might be well? Florida State could definitely
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: be dropping down there a little bit, depending on how
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: their wooden shot. Their season goes.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: Now in the SEC bone, it's going I'm gonna get
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: out of breath doing the SEC predicted or to finish two.
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: Because of the size of these conferences Georgia, I thought
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: they'd go Texas. I thought they'd pulling Ella Langley and
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: be choosing Texas Bone. But they did not. They went
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: Georgia number one, Texas two, oh Miss three, A and
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: M four, LSU five, Alabama six, Oklahoma seven, Tennessee eight,
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: Florida nine, miszoo Is at ten, South Carolina eleven, Auburn
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: with new coach Alex Golish twelve, Vanderbilt thirteen, Kentucky fourteen,
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: Mississippi State six point fifteen, and Arkansas sixteen. What strikes
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: you there as overrated or under ring game Cocks at eleven,
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: because I've already said that one here. I think they
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: are better at the best team that date. They're better
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: than Tennessee, They're better than Florida, They're better than Missouri,
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: although I will say I think Missouri at ten could
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: be another one there because Eli, much like Nardoozi, seems
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: to kind of have them better than you think. We'll
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: see about a Mott Hardy and after he got shot
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: and they bring in Austin Simmons at quarterback. Missouri could
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: be better, but I think South Carolina deserves to at
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: least be right there behind Alabama Oklahoma. I did their
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: at least the eighth best team in the SEC, if
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: not better. South Carolina to me, definitely feels underrated. I
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: am on board with them this year having a bounce
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: back season bone I do not view them as the
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: eleventh best team. And I think people, you know, Beemer
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: said it. We got a lot of the same stud
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: players that they vote that they loved last year going
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: into the season, and this year they don't love. I
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: love the Briles higher. I think they have addressed the
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: offensive line neat over and over again. In the portal,
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: Clayton White is a tremendous underrated defensive coordinator. To me,
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: that's a team that could win at like eight games.
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: Tames I could definitely see as far as overrated. I
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: did say Tennessee, and we've said that a lot, Matt.
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: Do you think anyone at the top is overrated or underrated?
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: It's we're now, We're now, you know, nitpicking the big
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: dogs here. You know a team that hasn't been talked
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: about a lot. We've talked about Georgia, We've talked about Texas.
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: I think A and M a little That's what I
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: was gonna say, talk about old Miss LSU. It feels
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: like we've talked about every team in the SEC, but
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: A and M just kind of sits there and no
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: one talks about, like, are we sure they're gonna follow
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: up and have a season? Last year they had a schedule,
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: an SEC schedule that was about as easy as you
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: can get in that conference. They lucked out with their
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: schedule drawl, and I feel like by the end of
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: the year bone they started to see okay. They might
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: have been a byproduct of who they were playing there
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: not saying they're not going to be good and Elk
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: goes a hell of a coach. I'll tell you what
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: I think's underrated is Oklahoma at seven. I think Oklahoma's
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: gonna be damn good. I think they're gonna have the
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: standard when it comes to defense in this league. They
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: got a ton back on defense, and I think John
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: Butttier was very affected by the injury last year. I
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: don't think it's any coincidence that John Mattier was considered
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: a highsman candidate before he got hurt, and then after
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: that was completely different. I think he was struggling to
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: throw the football with that injury, and I think a
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: healthy John Mattier with that defense. Like I honestly think
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: Oklahoma is a is a playoff team and a top
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: four SEC team.
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: I really do, man, I would say I think I
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: think Ole Miss is overratedble they do have Chambliss and
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: that makes up for a while. I don't think Pete
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: Golding is going to be anywhere near as good in
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: the long term as Leane Kiff it was, but they
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: do have Chambliss and Lacy back this year, so we
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: may not see a drop off this year. I wonder
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: long term, you know what happens there with Old Miss
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: bag would you maybe consider Auburn I would have underrated
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: because Byron Brown is going to be an There's some quarterbacks.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: He's a low dude.
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: There are some quarterbacks down there at the bottom of
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: the SEC. Byron Brown at Auburn, Camarrio Taylor in Mississippi
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: State is getting a lot of run, so I wonder
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: if they may not win a ton. But those could
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: be some teams that knock off some teams along the way.
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: Bone, Gator fans are upset with you, and Pecante's upset
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: with you. Picante so upset you were on the air
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: of the other day. Conte says, we're upset we can't
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: get those ten minutes back of our life when you
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: were joining us on the radio. I do think I'm higher.
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: I'm with you on Tennessee. I am higher on Florida,
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: I think than you. I love John Summer all and
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: those weapons they have ball and then at running back,
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: Wilson and some of those other guys at receiver. The
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: only thing is is Aaron Filo any good? He was
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: Haynes King's backup, but he does get to team up
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: with his oc. They brought Buster Faulkner over from Georgia Tech.
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: They got talent on defense. I'm a bit higher on Florida.
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: I also Bone don't now they've voted Alabama six, so
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: maybe that's about right. I do not think Alabama is
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: a playoff team this year. I think some people maybe
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: not that poll, but I think some people are overrating
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: Alabama and putting them in like the top four.
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: I think Oklahoma's better than them. Like you said, I'm
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: high on Florida for the long term. I just don't
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: not in the short term. Yeah about Filos, the Filos,
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: the question I would have. I mean, look there, they'll
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: be better. I just don't know. I mean nine seems
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: like that. But if I'm gonna, if I'm gonna elevate
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: the game Cocks in Missouri, that someone's gonna have to drop.
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: So I think Florida's better than Tennessee. I'm not high
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: on Tennessee this year. I think it's I'm not sure
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: about Miszoo. I'm not sure about Missoo this year. I
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: usually Hardy's healthy, he's the best running back in the country.
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: That's great.
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: I just don't think the rest of the team around
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: him bone like I I've been on Missoo the last
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: couple of years. I don't get the feeling that they
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: are as stacked and as good as they have been
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: in the past. Do we know, I mean, what do
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: we know? Austin Simmons. You know, I know he's a genius.
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure we know about him as a football player.
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: Though graduated in two years at Ole mess Oh gosh,
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: that's what I did at Towson. I didn't tell you
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: the story about me GRADU go to school for two years?
• 46:14
