• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: The AC is pumping and h our next.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: I thought at one point today JJ that he passed
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: out during the show. His eyes were.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Closed, sweaty head, closed eyes. It did not look good
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: for him. But he's bouncing back.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: The guys right now, getting ready for a full padded practice.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: JJ Janssen joining us. What's up, man? How you doing?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: It's good to have you guys here. What are you
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: guys calling this Homer hangout?
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Homer hangout?
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: I like it. Hell I thought Homer Headquarters could also
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: apply classy Homer Haven.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I was thinking, Oh no, that's pretty nice. That's a
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: notre dame education type word. That sounds like a CD
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: dive bar. I'm not going to the Haven tonight. Oh man,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: So you you made a joke there about guys getting
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: ready for this is like guys getting ready for a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: padded practice. I don't know if your routine chape. Does
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: your routine chaine like when it's padded?
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so usually the foray of padded practice on special
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: teams is always a punt rush day, So we're gonna
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: so yeah, it's gonna get it's gonna get a little
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: loud in there first day back. But uh, the cool
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: part about the way we practice is it is a
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: lot of speed all the time. I think the toughest
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: part about it padded practice in general, was the speed
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: goes up. Well, we practice really really fast. There's no contact,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: but we're going pretty darn fast. And so I think
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: we were talking about this like twenty years ago, like
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: when I first got into the league nineteen years ago,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: like the whole training camp started goal line, full pads, that's.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: How you started right away, right away.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And now with all the rules and just how teams
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: are training for speed, they're not necessarily brute force. It's speed,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: so there's not as big of a jump in my opinion,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: when you go to full pads, you get a little more,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: a little more thumping, but it's still I mean, the
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: speed's pretty fast, even when we're just in helmets and
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: T shirts.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Were they were they doing two days when you were younger? Yeah,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: can't remember when that really stopped. Yeah, there was there
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: were two days.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: In fact, my first year with the Panthers, Uh makei
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: kimo atu got hurt in the opening drills of to
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: today my very first practice. And back then you also
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: had special teams meet or like walk throughs on the field,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: so you'd go out three times in a day. Now
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: it's it's a practice and a walk through. So I've
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: been through two cbas and every time there's a new
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: CBA there's also less practice.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: There you go something doing their jokes.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: So if I can make it one more CBA, we
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: might just play games.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Do you you mad? Now? I you made me think
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of something mentioned in the union and and things improving?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Do you There's been a lot of people talking about
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the grass versus turf right with the World Cup. I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't blame y'all for looking at and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: being like, you know, hold on, now, do you think that?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Would you think the Union would get involved and that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: would be something y'all would ask for in the CBA,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: because I almost feel like the owners would make it
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: come like, hey, we'll give you that, but you give it,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah? You know.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: The tough part with the CBA is everything you don't like.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: You don't barter like I'll give you this, you give
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: me that. You have to agree on everything, So it's
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: kind of it's kind of one missmash of twenty things
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: that the owners want, twenty things that the players want,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: and it's hard to tell like what you're trading.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: For what, and the whole bit. Yeah, certainly that's something that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Will get negotiated. You know, Look, I watch I watch
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of soccer. I certainly know we've had instances
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: here in other places where soccer guys they're like, I'm
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: just not gonna play if it's not on grass.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You can't Yeah, you can't get you just won't play.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: And so you know, I would tend to think that
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: if all of a sudden, you know, Patrick Mahomes or
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen's like, I'm not playing on turf, I imagine
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: that changes it. Without a CBA, I think only if
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: you guys have that leverage. You see this in every sport, right,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: you know, Tiger Woods comes into golf and immediately the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: money explodes and everything changes about how every golfer's changed.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: We see it in basketball, you know, WNBA, Caitlin Clark
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: shows up, there's a lot more money, and all of
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: a sudden everyone's flying.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: A lot better flight.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: So I think it has more to do with the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: star power than hey, we're gonna negotiate something.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: We'll see. It's certainly better for all of us out there.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Twenty years ago, I think there's a lot of players like, hey,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: let's get on turf because some of the grass was
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: really bad.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Like you go up to like.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: New England and you see those old videos like New
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: England grass fields, they're all chewed up and it just
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: looks like a slot fest. It's not that way anymore.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: We saw it with the World Cup. You can do
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: a really really good grass field in all elements and indoors.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think that was the big argument, like
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: how are they gonna put grass in you know, Atlanta
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Stadium or whatever. It's like, oh, that looks gorgeous.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: So JJ, you get on that call that you're on
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: so often with the fellows stars in the league, Yeah,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and you get throw your right around.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll let them know I'm boycotting.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: It's crazy to go watch and to go back and
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: watch old stuff, even though we watch, you're alive. To
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: look at the services they used to play on back
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: in the day. Sure, like the VET, it's over those places. Yeah,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the wonder a lot of those guys have struggles now
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: based off with their bodies.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Well, the one I always think that was kind of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: funny and my old Special Teams coach Bruce de Haven
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: used to talk about it was old Cleveland Stadium, you know,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the original Dog Pound, because you had the baseball field
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: on there. The stadium was so tall, it was like
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: four stories tall that in the winter like part of
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: the field was like ice, part of the field was grass.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Then you have the dirt infield, and like kickers and stuff,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: we're having to like chain shoes based on every ten yards.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: When I was first in the league, we played a
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: preseason game in Miami and you played on the hard
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: pan of a baseball infield. Like we have great services,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: there's no argument from players like, hey, the turf is
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: far better than what we were playing on, you know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: five or ten years ago. I think the argument always
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: has been when we can't put grass in certain locations.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And the World Cup just showed you you can put
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: gorgeous grass in every location. So I think now the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: players like, can we play. That's gonna take care of
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: our bodies. We're gonna recover a lot better if you
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: just walked out onto any surface, and you went on
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the you took a stroll in the park and you're
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: on the concrete and then you put your feet on
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the grass, like you feel better. And so I think
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: that's the position of the players is now that we
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: know that we can do it, let's work towards that.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Last week was a tough week, Like it's started with
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the Tailor Moten health situation, that blood clod and that
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: sounds real serious, way more important than football. And then
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: it's the Nick Scorton injury on the first day and man,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it sound like he was tearing up. Sound like guys
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: were literally in a line to like, man, I feel
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: for you to hug him up. How hard is that
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to bounce back from as a team like hey we
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: got the whole damn late.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you got everything left?
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Does that Does that take a little bit of time
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: or no? Or is it like hey man, next man up? Totally?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: It is unfortunately, you know kind of the you know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: the harsh reality of pro football is it is.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Next man up.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: And and you know, guys are immediately thrusted into new opportunity,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: right like a guy like Princely immediate is like, oh
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I might have a shot to start right where maybe
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't see a pathway before. And so as sad
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: as it is, he's for his brother, like he's like,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: oh I now I'm excited, Like I get an opportunity.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: There's there's a there's a new roster spot that gets elevated.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: So now you got guys competing for it. It's a
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: weird way that you have to sort of emotionally work
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: around it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Certainly, we all love you know, we're talking about.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Nick like we all love him and hate that that happen,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: hated for him, hate it for our team. But you
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: do have to come back quickly. And the story I
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: told a few times last week to guys was, Hey,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen, about the about the tenth day of camp,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Kelvin Benjamin goes down with a non contact ACL and
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I remember feeling like our season's over. Like that was
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: a pretty normal feeling that day.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the way we all felt.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Everyone felt that way, right, and we didn't lose till Christmas.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So honestly, we had a text or send that in
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: last week because of course I was whining and moping
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: about things. Yeah, and that that's the best example that
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: y'all can give man, it's it's.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: A team game.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: It certainly we're not better for it, but every team
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: has to deal with these injuries. Unfortunately, we had a
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: big one happen on the first day, but everyone deals
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: with it. It is a game of attrition, and you know,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: there's lots of good players on the roster. There's more
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: than fifty three good players on our roster, so it's
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: not the drop off that I think you emotionally go
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: to when it's oh, that's a starter, that just that
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: just went down. But again, there's roster building is a
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: twenty four to seven three sixty five jobs. So Dan
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and Branton and coach Canalis, I'm sure are looking for
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: more guys. Can we continue to improve the roster, but
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: guys gotta also step up within the roster.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: O Cho Senko's here today.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I told Ryan Fitzgerald that he's very excited about the kicker,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and he thought I was totally making it up.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: I was like, no, he's tweeting about it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: He wants to meet the or, he wants to know
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: who the wide receiver coach is.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Sure he wants he should know who the wide receiver
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: coaches is.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: He wanting to meet Fitzgerald because he's doing some kicking.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so Ocho is a big soccer guy.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: And remember he kicked a field goal or pat in
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: a preseason game up in New England, so he he is.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: He's a foot to ball guy. And whether it's on
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the pitch or on the practice field. So I wouldn't
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: be shocked if there's I don't think we have field
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: goal today. I wouldn't be shocked if all of a
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: sudden we have an impromptu field goal period where with kicking.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: So I don't know if they got his I don't
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: know they got his appropriate size that cleats in there.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: But something tells me he may wander over and learn
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: that Ryan Fitzgerald is the kicker of the Panthers.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Like he's interested in meeting him, but needs to know
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: who he is.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: He doesn't know who he is.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: What's some respect on that kid's name?
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Know why he's a Panther fan? Do we have any.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: No, I have no idea.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: He's been doing this.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: For a couple of years now.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: You'll see this occasionally, R and we have been common
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: words out of his mouth. And so I'm a fan,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you know, I know he's a big McDonald's fan, maybe
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: we can slide over.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he would love that bow Jangles breakfast. So we
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: were doing a topic uh yesterday, Dan Morgan wouldn't give
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: me anything on this, but I can go to you
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: for this. I feel like, after all.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Anything the GM won't tell you, the long snapper will
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: good perfect.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: It's not a good sign JJ. When we're talking to
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Dan and Bruce moves closer.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: For oh, he thought because I was suggesting a trade
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: for Alex high Smith and Bruce, I think thought I
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: was gonna get Dan in trouble for tampering. Gotcha, you've
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: got a little tens in here.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: It did.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: It doesn't sound good for my trade idea though, unless
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: he's bluffing me, you.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Know what I mean.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: But anyway, we were talking about guys like I was
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: pumping up Corey Thornton. Sure who I think is you know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: better than a lot of people think. Travis Gibson's a
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: guy I think is better than people think. Uh Nick Scott.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: My whole point is he was better last year, Like
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: he's not as bad as some of the fans. That
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: is there a guy on the team you want to
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: salute and just be like Dudell. Everybody on the outside
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't know how good this guy is. Like, who comes
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: to mind for you?
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Well, the one that would have that I would have
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: used for the last, you know, two years until we
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: had a playoff game. This building was cochy. I mean
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: that that was the one that I had at the
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: top of my list for you. Hit on a couple
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: of them, right, Like Corey Thornton has been a big
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: physical corner for us, does a lot of stuff. You know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: as I'm sort of sitting, I'm sifting through all the names,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: right you pick all these the really good players you
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: already know.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'll give you one.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Answer, Dan said, Derek Brown stand out. People still don't
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: give him credit for him.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: He kind of went at a national level. You're absolutely right,
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Derek going forward. You know, he's a Notre Dame guy,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: So I'm a big fan of him.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: The one I wanted to give you guys that I
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: love and we have a lot of wide receivers is
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: bryceon Tremaine. He is He's certainly fantastic in our room,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: but every time he's on the field, he is.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: He's a physical blocker in the run game.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Right when you're a third, fourth, fifth receiver, you gotta
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: be a physical blocker on the run game. He's got
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: great hands, he's a big, long target. So I definitely
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: put Bryson up there. I think Thomas Koombe. He reminds
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: me so much of Yeah, whenever you're a pass rusher,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: you end up on special teams and then you sort
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: of evolved. He to me is young Mario Addison for
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: guys that remember when when Mario got here. He's fantastic
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: on special teams. He's got pass rush skills, he's got
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: some length, he's he's quick off the ball, and so
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: maybe that's one of those rules where hey, maybe he
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: finds a way to get on the field third downs,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: rush the passer, kind of those specialty situations. So those
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: are a couple of guys that stand out for me,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: and you know, I'll do one more kind of my
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: necker with I don't think Sam Martin gets nearly enough
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: credit for how good of the year he had last year.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I think there's a little bit of Oh, he's a
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: veteran punter, he's an old guy. He's got as fast
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: of a leg as anyone in the league at thirty
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: six years old, and and he's a great locker.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: Room guy.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: So those are a couple. But yeah, if we're allowed
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: to just take Derek Brown, then sure, I mean that's
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: it feels like cheating, Like well, Merrick's pretty good and
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: you know that.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: J C. Horn, I don't think. I think he's better
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: than people think.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, j C.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Darren Gan told a system I forgot to mention it
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: on the air. Darren Gant just filed the story that
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: jac has been cleared to return to practice.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Oh that's good, good news. I hadn't heard that.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Either, by the way, I pointed at him. Now he's activated,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: is it?
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Do you think.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: With just a point that's.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: How excited are you for Felipe Franks? That character, he's
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: a lunatic.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: I love it in all the in all the best ways.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: He's great, he loves football, he's he brings a ton
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: of energy. We've been killing him in the special teams
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: room for four for four or five months because we
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: just we had two really good special teams.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Games last year versus Atlanta.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: He's of course playing on Atlanta, so we've been just
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: like circling him and crushing him as a falcon, which
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: has been a lot of fun. But but we know
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: how he fits in the system. You know him and
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Isaiah Simmons, they are unique athletes. They're long, they're fast,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: they're physical. That helps us so much in the kicking game.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: You know, you just need a lot of genetic freaks
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: in special teams because it's organized chaos out there. And
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: then you add to that people that love to run
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: and hit and go make plays. And like, I'll take
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: you back to the to a playoff game, Isaiah Simmons
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: rushed upunt realize that guy can't handle me, walks over
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: to Tracy Smith and goes, can I just rush the
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: next one? And Tracy's like, go for it, like let
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: her rip, and he goes and blocks upon like and
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: again that's the kind of stuff that you can't necessarily
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: quote coach. It's just long athleticism. Athleticism, you know. In
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Isaiah's particular case, you know, that's why he's the eighth
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: pick of the draft and and those things. But Felipe
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: brings a ton of energy, a lot of position flexibility,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: and he's he's as into special teams as he is offense.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I love it, Bone And I noticed when we were
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a practice the other day that they had you assisting.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: You had the blue pad out and it looked like
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: what it looked like. I I will trust that your
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: assignment was to give light resistance to the gunner.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, that was it?
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Thought you were not giving much. Do you get the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: odd jobs around here?
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I get the like I get some of the jobs
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: that really are more coaching jobs. But we probably need
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: like a pro athlete to stand in that spot.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: So like, for instance, that was that's actually kind of
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: a fun drill.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: It's it's basically a two man cover drill, and then
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: my job is to just provide some resistance.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: So like, for instance, as those guys.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Are running down the field to cover, I'm actually trying
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: to force them to take a bad angle so that
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: they then have to redirect, get into correct relationship and
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: then go make the tackle.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: So I sort of ad libbed a few times and
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: ran into.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: People and and I was I was providing medium resistance
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: on those plays. But for you, that was a fun drill.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: The Special Teams drills are fun just because you're trying
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: to there's again, if you just watch a Special Teams plays,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: like there's people running everywhere, it doesn't look organized, But
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: then you watch some of the drills, you're like Oh,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I see how everyone's trying to relate off of one
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: another to go make a tackle.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: So those are fun drills to watch.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a great question from a Texter that
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: because coach was on, Coach Canalis was on talking about
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: what he is freed up to do in practice now
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: that he's not, you know, the play caller, and somebody
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: wanted to know if he has wandered over to the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: long games area with the special I'm thinking he has
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: more important things to do, but I figured i'd ask
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the question, how's how's the long games going? Invite coach over.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe the thing I've noticed about coach so far with
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: a little extra free time is he's he's working on
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: his long toss before practice. Now there's not as much
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: to coach, so he's been working on as long on.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Cost and football. So I think he's out about forty
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: or forty five yards.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: He's a former baseball guy, so he knows arm health
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: is very important.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: You gotta you gotta take care of your.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Wing there and throw that challenge flag. You gotta throw
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: the challenge flag. You know, most coaches just kind of
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: drop it. I would like to see a coach just
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: chuck it from the sideline like the back judge when
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: they throw it thirty five yards. I actually think that's
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: what coaches should do. They they tend to run and
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: kind of drop it right at the feet.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Of Remember the Belichick one where you got mad and
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: he just threw it out the I just threw it,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: just kind of.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: Just spiked it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, I think that, you know, we were talked about from
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: time to time rule changes.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: I do. I do like the idea that the head
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: coach has to.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Throw the challenge flag at the white hat in the
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: middle of the field and like if you don't get
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: it within like a certain distance, oh yeah's add a.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: Little challenge skill. Absolutely.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: All right, brother, great catching up with are so pumped
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: about this version of the Panthers and we're looking forward
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: to seeing the padded practice today. Man, thanks for hanging
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: out with us.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: Are you guys can go that throw some pads on,
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: get hit by anybody?
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why we were waiting for we want you to
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: hit us with those umpire packs.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: No, this is what we're gonna do one of these
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: One of these days, we're gonna get you out there
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: in full pads, maybe after practice and we'll see which
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: watch all the drills and figure out which drill you
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: could be most likely to do.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: God, so we got to talk about the cold tub earlier.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Is that Uh is the cold tub horrible?
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Could we do that? Oh?
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: You guys would die. You guys would die.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: I said, I could go fifteen seconds.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the cold tub. The cold tub is one of
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: those things. If you can get through the first sixty seconds,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: you can go for a while. Sixty seconds, Oh I go,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I go fully up to.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: My chin for four to five minutes. Oh my, but
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: you gotta get through the first sixty seconds.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: And then your numb after.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Then your numb and then it's like, this is great,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: could be very refreshing.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: We had a listener say they would like to see
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: us out there hitting the sled.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Do you think I was thinking, I would like I
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: want to see you guys go over there with Coach
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Wash and the d line drills, follow Derek Brown and
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: just go through their their their drills.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: I think that would be good.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: It's small areas, there's some bags involved, there's some pass
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: rush moves and and sort of retrace back up the field.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: There'd be some good I mean, you guys would definitely
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: get hurt, but it would be fun to watch I
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: look like that sort of vein. That's that would be
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: kind of what we're trying to get done. That'd be
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I forgot about that when he was rolling around.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, he slept. He probably didn't have the
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: right footwear.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Clear, that was probably what it was. Clear, all right, brother,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: good to see you, man.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: That was also a morning practice.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: So you okay, okay, go Irish, go Irish lode this season.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I love title cont ar motto this year is leave
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: no doubt. I think we're gonna be pretty good.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Ship.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Can I tell you a story? I know you're just
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I just hang around Chase, like I tell them when
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I when I go, yeah.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: They practice will start when I get out there.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: My mom, God bless her, my but her she's in
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: eighty two, all right, and she you know her mind,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: she it's not as sharp as it used to be.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: So since your mind's so sharp.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Yet, listen, I'm fifty. Oh my god, that's savage. J
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: that's all right, savage.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: I want to make sure we're taking care of Mama
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Mac just fine, Okay.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: The amount that JJ catches, okay, that's true.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: She's a diehard Notre Dame fan. My dad was too
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: when he when he was here, and so they would
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: root together. So my mom, though, we keep telling her
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: that Notre Dame plays Wisconsin to start the season, she
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: thinks because y'all did not make the playoff that they
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: can no longer play football. Like she just thinks they're done.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: So I'm trying to make sure she knows how to
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: write it down. So I'm trying to make sure she knows.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: At some point we might have to get Notre Dame
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: legends to contact her. Maybe she would remember that.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: I'll make sure we'll get a nice uh phone call
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: from DeVante Smith, Tommy Tremble, maybe I remember.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'll get Brady Quinn on the phone and we'll
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: get it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I keep telling her, I wish that was the case
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: that Notre Dame.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: In fairness, they did stop playing for a little while,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: but they're back here.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: We were back and we're getting uh hopefully not relegated.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: We're getting promoted to NFL stadiums Now. I'm just saying
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: that a big gop. Have we just moved right into
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: like segment three of the of the Hour?
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what I don't know why
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I had to share that story.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: That was great.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I embarrassed my poor mom too. Maybe I shouldn't have
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: told that. Extor says, great story, Mack.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: I love it. I love it.
• 21:35
