- 0:18Speaker 4: Bone do a.
- 0:18Speaker 5: Lot Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ Mac and Bone
- 0:30Speaker 5: with you. It is world Wall Carolina Panthers today on
- 0:33Speaker 5: this show, why not? It's training camp day two today
- 0:37Speaker 5: we're hoping to get through it. Can we get through
- 0:39Speaker 5: this dang thing football gods without an injury today?
- 0:42Speaker 3: I'm begging you please just pinch my hand in the headphones.
- 0:47Speaker 5: Okay, So we can't even get through this show without
- 0:50Speaker 5: an injury.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Oh man?
- 0:53Speaker 5: Can the Panthers not get injured? Because now we've got
- 0:56Speaker 5: a bone radio injury here on the show. Oh man,
- 0:59Speaker 5: we're gonna talk about this shorton injury. Does this require
- 1:03Speaker 5: a move from Dan Morgan? Are we deep enough to
- 1:06Speaker 5: handle this? I mean, the thing that stinks about that?
- 1:08Speaker 5: I mean, there's so much thinks about it. You hate
- 1:09Speaker 5: it for Nick Gordon. He has such an upward trajectory.
- 1:12Speaker 5: You hate it for him. But this defense bone is
- 1:15Speaker 5: supposed to, if not carry the team be the number
- 1:18Speaker 5: one part of this team. Like we're feeling like this
- 1:22Speaker 5: defense has to be good, too great in order for
- 1:24Speaker 5: this team to achieve its potential. And we are just
- 1:27Speaker 5: one day in and we've already lost a key Cog
- 1:30Speaker 5: and hell, I should say a second keycock because we
- 1:32Speaker 5: know that Turk Wharton's gonna be out for a while
- 1:34Speaker 5: this season too, and it's and all these injuries are
- 1:37Speaker 5: in the dang Trench's bony. It's worfense and defense. Man,
- 1:41Speaker 5: it's the worst too.
- 1:42Speaker 6: It seems so unfair because when you're in when you're
- 1:45Speaker 6: in the regular season, you're in games, you know that
- 1:47Speaker 6: there's always a chance of injuries. But these dudes are
- 1:50Speaker 6: just practicing. It's the very beginning of their journey, and
- 1:54Speaker 6: now Scodon has to spend the whole journey getting ready
- 1:58Speaker 6: for the next one. Well, injury are unfair no matter
- 2:00Speaker 6: when they happen, but I hate it wonder this early,
- 2:03Speaker 6: especially in camp, and I feel for the young man
- 2:06Speaker 6: that's hurt because so much hype, so much hope, and
- 2:10Speaker 6: then it's taken away and now he's got to go rehab.
- 2:13Speaker 6: And we know that when you're injured and away from
- 2:15Speaker 6: the team, you don't feel a part of things, and
- 2:17Speaker 6: that just sucks that he's spent a whole year.
- 2:19Speaker 3: I'll feeling that way.
- 2:20Speaker 5: It is at least at least Molten, you know, sounds
- 2:22Speaker 5: like he's coming back. Wharton sounds like go be back
- 2:24Speaker 5: this year. Even Icky sounds like there's a good shab.
- 2:27Speaker 5: Although Canalis did say the timeline for this Pitteller tended
- 2:31Speaker 5: surgery is nine to twelve months, but he did say,
- 2:34Speaker 5: you know, he wouldn't give a timeline. But Dan Morgan
- 2:37Speaker 5: has said all along we feel like we're Gettingnikki back. Well,
- 2:39Speaker 5: now we've lost someone in Nick Gordon for the full season,
- 2:43Speaker 5: and I can't help to think before we get into
- 2:45Speaker 5: this and talk about how do we overcome this loss
- 2:49Speaker 5: with what we have in house. The answers on the roster.
- 2:52Speaker 5: Who used to be an answers on the roster, guy Gettleman, right, is.
- 2:55Speaker 3: That what that his thing?
- 2:56Speaker 5: It is on your roster, so that the roster that
- 2:59Speaker 5: he tucked in his high pulled up shorts, by the way,
- 3:02Speaker 5: but anyway, what answers are on our roster? How can
- 3:06Speaker 5: we deal with this with our roster? And then the
- 3:08Speaker 5: other question is are y'all eyeing up anybody that's out
- 3:11Speaker 5: there on that free agent list, or do you think
- 3:13Speaker 5: they need to give up you know, draft collateral moving
- 3:16Speaker 5: forward in a trade. Do they need to be aggressive
- 3:19Speaker 5: about it. I can't help to think two, Bone, that
- 3:22Speaker 5: this is the universe reminding us that you're Charlotte and
- 3:26Speaker 5: this is your place in sports, that you had a
- 3:28Speaker 5: fun year last year with both the Panthers and the Hornets.
- 3:32Speaker 5: So what does the sports universe do to us? LaMelo,
- 3:35Speaker 5: ball will be traded and you will have injuries and
- 3:39Speaker 5: health issues before camp even really gets going. It's like,
- 3:42Speaker 5: know your role, Charlotte. You can't have nice things for
- 3:46Speaker 5: too long.
- 3:47Speaker 6: And if one more person blames the surface for this one,
- 3:49Speaker 6: I'm gonna ram my head out of.
- 3:51Speaker 3: The wait's still happening? Wrong?
- 3:52Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, repeatedly. This was not a grass versus turf.
- 3:56Speaker 6: This was on natural grass. They practice on natural grass.
- 4:00Speaker 6: This was not a surface incident that was a was
- 4:03Speaker 6: it weather problem? Maybe, but it was not a issue
- 4:08Speaker 6: with the surface. This was on natural grass. Yeah, So
- 4:12Speaker 6: I choose to blame the sports universe. Bone, I choo
- 4:14Speaker 6: to go, what was me?
- 4:15Speaker 3: Charlotte?
- 4:16Speaker 4: Uh?
- 4:16Speaker 5: Sports fan gas house, Earl don't blame the sports sports
- 4:20Speaker 5: universe for the LaMelo trade. That was your general manager,
- 4:24Speaker 5: Jeff Peterson, his dumb ass calmed down gas house Earl,
- 4:28Speaker 5: Earl Deeds, calm down, He's made a bunch of good movies.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Need some fresh Airman. I can't hurl anymore. You can't.
- 4:34Speaker 3: You're hurled out over there. I'm about to hurl over eurl. Well, hey,
- 4:37Speaker 3: you won't to have maybe you don't have to hurl over.
- 4:40Speaker 5: You won't have to deal with Earl maybe the rest
- 4:42Speaker 5: of the day, but at eight forty five you will
- 4:45Speaker 5: be hanging with Granny Pat and weather Man Mark. They
- 4:49Speaker 5: will combine with Panther Fitty to be the panelists on
- 4:52Speaker 5: our Panther roundtable. How are these great Panther fans feeling
- 4:56Speaker 5: about the adversity that has hit us?
- 4:59Speaker 3: And if that does Lifter spirits, nothing else.
- 5:01Speaker 5: Will absolutely nobody asked for it, but you're getting it anyway,
- 5:06Speaker 5: all right. Also the Roger Goodell comment after David Tepper
- 5:10Speaker 5: made the case to him that they had the big
- 5:12Speaker 5: event yesterday for the renovations at the stadium, and they
- 5:16Speaker 5: had that cool momentum, you know, interactive exhibit where you
- 5:20Speaker 5: can kind of see what it's gonna look like in
- 5:22Speaker 5: twenty thirty at the renovated stadium. So Roger Goodell was
- 5:24Speaker 5: in town for this. They had a big event last night.
- 5:26Speaker 5: David Tepper lobbied him for it. Made the case of
- 5:29Speaker 5: why Charlotte should get a Super Bowl, should host a
- 5:31Speaker 5: super Bowl, and Roger Goodell kind of responded to that.
- 5:34Speaker 5: So you're gonna hear that later this hour as well.
- 5:38Speaker 5: This defense. We got a text here. Good timing on
- 5:40Speaker 5: this text, by the way, seven oh four number says, guys,
- 5:43Speaker 5: I have such faith in this defense and a vero
- 5:46Speaker 5: and the talent that Dan has assembled on that side
- 5:48Speaker 5: of the ball that collectively they can overcome this. So
- 5:53Speaker 5: I'll ask you, Bone, how do who are the guys
- 5:56Speaker 5: that help us overcome this?
- 5:58Speaker 3: On the roster?
- 6:01Speaker 6: Well Jones, Patrick Jones has to step up in a
- 6:05Speaker 6: big way. Princely has to make a leap more than
- 6:09Speaker 6: we thought he would have to without scoring. So there
- 6:12Speaker 6: are guys there certainly that can help. I will say,
- 6:17Speaker 6: what's the better option, mag Is it Jones and Princely
- 6:21Speaker 6: or a trade? I think it's one of those two
- 6:24Speaker 6: options because I don't really I don't really love the
- 6:28Speaker 6: names that are out there as the replacements. It's the
- 6:32Speaker 6: same guys, guys we've had here before. It feels like
- 6:35Speaker 6: we go. It's in goakway, it's whose name is up
- 6:38Speaker 6: again for us? It's Clowney, It's Reddick, it's Fan Noy,
- 6:42Speaker 6: it's von Miller, it's older guys. I'm not really seeing
- 6:45Speaker 6: anyone on the list on the unsigned guys that really
- 6:50Speaker 6: tickles me fancy right now. Yeah, they're all out there
- 6:52Speaker 6: for a reason. I know nothing, Nothing says, oh my god, yeah,
- 6:55Speaker 6: bring them in here. They're free guys. We can talk
- 6:57Speaker 6: about some guys, but the free agents, I don't know.
- 7:00Speaker 5: Man, they're a free agent to start a training camp
- 7:02Speaker 5: at a premium position like that's just the best way
- 7:05Speaker 5: I can put it. As far as guys on the
- 7:08Speaker 5: roster right now, one thing I will say, Bone is
- 7:10Speaker 5: I do think our ed situation is better than it
- 7:13Speaker 5: was last year. I do think that having your starters
- 7:17Speaker 5: be Jalen Phillips and Pat Jones is better than having
- 7:23Speaker 5: scorton and want them.
- 7:25Speaker 3: I do believe that it is an upgrade.
- 7:26Speaker 7: Now.
- 7:26Speaker 5: The problem is, Bone, we were literally second to last
- 7:29Speaker 5: in sack percentage last year and pressure percentage. So the
- 7:32Speaker 5: goal is not just to be better than last year,
- 7:36Speaker 5: and what we wanted was s Gorton and Phillips combined.
- 7:39Speaker 5: But I do want to point out that we have
- 7:40Speaker 5: added a baller. It would be nice if Phillips can
- 7:43Speaker 5: finish a few more plays, you know what I mean,
- 7:45Speaker 5: add a few more sacks to the repertoire. But he
- 7:48Speaker 5: is going to make a difference. I think Lee Hunter's
- 7:50Speaker 5: a guy like I don't just go to the edgees Bone.
- 7:53Speaker 5: I'm talking about how can we generate disruption, how can
- 7:56Speaker 5: we up our pass rush, how can we play the
- 7:59Speaker 5: run better up front? It sucks that Wharton's gone because
- 8:02Speaker 5: he's a guy who his bag is pass rushing inside
- 8:06Speaker 5: and he could help with that. Lee Hunter is viewed
- 8:08Speaker 5: as more of a as a run defender. But I
- 8:11Speaker 5: think you need guys like Lee Hunter play well. I'd
- 8:14Speaker 5: say you need Bobby Brown inside he stay healthy, but
- 8:16Speaker 5: he's already not healthy with a hamstring injury, and that
- 8:19Speaker 5: should be short term. Blitz Do you have to blitz
- 8:24Speaker 5: more than you wanted to? I think as zero Vero
- 8:27Speaker 5: was probably we were fifteenth in the league in blitz
- 8:29Speaker 5: percentage last year, Bone right middle of the pack. I
- 8:32Speaker 5: don't think Averara wants to blitz that much. I think
- 8:34Speaker 5: if he can get pressure with four, I think he
- 8:36Speaker 5: wants to dial that back play coverage and that sort
- 8:38Speaker 5: of thing and take away the big plays and all that.
- 8:41Speaker 5: So does he have to blitz a little more than
- 8:43Speaker 5: we want to. Devin Lloyd's a hell of a blitzer,
- 8:47Speaker 5: so do we do that more? Marriag's a pretty good blitzer.
- 8:50Speaker 5: Horn's a pretty good blitzer.
- 8:52Speaker 3: So I don't know.
- 8:53Speaker 5: These are things I think of is this is what
- 8:55Speaker 5: Avaro has to think of. Is not just bone okay,
- 8:58Speaker 5: who's playing Nick Gorton's position? This is how do we
- 9:02Speaker 5: play the run? Because Gordon's a good run defender. How
- 9:05Speaker 5: do we make up for the loss of him as
- 9:08Speaker 5: a pass rusher? And those are some of the things
- 9:10Speaker 5: that I'm thinking of, hopefully with.
- 9:12Speaker 6: The improvements around that that position that we now need.
- 9:19Speaker 6: You know, Jayleen Phillips and Devin Woyd and their impact
- 9:22Speaker 6: maybe makes itting out as bad as we think in
- 9:25Speaker 6: the moment, but certainly that's going to involve someone stepping up.
- 9:28Speaker 6: There a lot of pressure on Princely now, more so
- 9:31Speaker 6: than I wanted to get him a year two. I
- 9:33Speaker 6: was all way on scorting princely. I thought, in a
- 9:36Speaker 6: defined role of usage would be fine, but now we
- 9:41Speaker 6: have to hope that he also makes that move up.
- 9:44Speaker 5: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see the way they use him.
- 9:46Speaker 5: I wonder if he put on weight. I think he
- 9:49Speaker 5: clearly has to bone if he wants to play the
- 9:51Speaker 5: run and not just be a situational pass rusher. I
- 9:54Speaker 5: have to shamelessly do this bone for the fourth time ever,
- 9:57Speaker 5: and I know it's not catching on. It's not catching
- 10:00Speaker 5: on with you, it's not catching on with the fans
- 10:02Speaker 5: out there. I do like Trevis Gibson. I'm not saying
- 10:06Speaker 5: bone that Trevis Gibson is gonna put up ten sacks
- 10:09Speaker 5: like we hope Nick Scarton put up. But I do
- 10:11Speaker 5: think if you can add his workload a little bit,
- 10:15Speaker 5: I do think he's a little underrated. But again, I
- 10:19Speaker 5: mean that's we're talking depth. We're talking depth on this roster.
- 10:23Speaker 5: As far as picking up Fitty, you recited a good portion.
- 10:26Speaker 6: I will, I will, I will consider Trevis Gibson here
- 10:31Speaker 6: or something.
- 10:32Speaker 3: Do you want to join the Trevis wagon for me?
- 10:34Speaker 3: Oh know, Trevis is it's close to my name kind of.
- 10:39Speaker 3: I got two wagons.
- 10:40Speaker 5: I'm driving on this defense to Corey Thornton wagon and
- 10:42Speaker 5: a Trevis Gibson wagon who wants to join baby? And
- 10:45Speaker 5: I also have the nick Scott is was not horrible
- 10:48Speaker 5: last year wagon. No one seems to want to join
- 10:50Speaker 5: that one Fitty. You recited some of the names earlier,
- 10:54Speaker 5: Joey Bosa, Leonard Floyd each, Tore Gross Mattos, Von Miller
- 11:00Speaker 5: Bone brought up, Kyle van Ney, Derek Barnett, j Davian Clowney,
- 11:05Speaker 5: familiar face there, Cleveland Ferrell, former Clemson guy, he had
- 11:10Speaker 5: five sacks last year. Any of these names fetti strike
- 11:14Speaker 5: your fancy?
- 11:16Speaker 4: None of those names do mac like When I recited them,
- 11:20Speaker 4: it was because I was interested them. It was just
- 11:22Speaker 4: me like alerting you in the audience, who's out there?
- 11:24Speaker 3: Ye yeah.
- 11:25Speaker 4: But Mackett feels like they have to do something like
- 11:29Speaker 4: if if your owner is publicly stating out loud, this
- 11:33Speaker 4: is a playoff team. Dan Morgan didn't put expectations on
- 11:38Speaker 4: the season when he met with the media on Wednesday,
- 11:41Speaker 4: but did say, hey, we have high hopes for this year.
- 11:44Speaker 4: You've talked a lot about they cannot regress, they can't
- 11:47Speaker 4: take a step back. I do think if they have
- 11:48Speaker 4: a bunch of injuries. Maybe we're more open to them
- 11:51Speaker 4: if they do win maybe seven or eight games. But
- 11:54Speaker 4: I don't think the room it's I like it more
- 11:56Speaker 4: than I liked it last year, but I don't.
- 11:59Speaker 3: Think that's not saying a lot. I don't know if the.
- 12:00Speaker 4: Room is at a point where internal development and growth
- 12:04Speaker 4: can overcome the loss of scorting. So it feels like
- 12:07Speaker 4: they need to make a move. It's just if we
- 12:10Speaker 4: want them to trade.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Is there some sort of trade bone that you could make.
- 12:14Speaker 6: Yeah, I think there's one name out there that Texters
- 12:18Speaker 6: are bringing up, and that's Cavon Thibodeaux from the New
- 12:21Speaker 6: York Giants.
- 12:22Speaker 4: He's kind of motor issues though, man.
- 12:24Speaker 6: But they've added birds, they've added Abdul, They've added a
- 12:28Speaker 6: lot around him, and his role is not really defined
- 12:31Speaker 6: necessarily with the Giants right now. If you're what if
- 12:34Speaker 6: a team's gonna trade somebody fitty, probably because they're not
- 12:38Speaker 6: they're not perfect. So Kvon Thibodeau is a name that
- 12:41Speaker 6: people are bringing up that I think is something worth
- 12:43Speaker 6: exploring here.
- 12:44Speaker 3: That's an interesting one there, that's it.
- 12:46Speaker 5: Yeah, you're not gonna get here's the question We're not
- 12:49Speaker 5: going to trade for Miles Garrett. The Rams aren't gonna say, oh,
- 12:52Speaker 5: we're gonna get you know what I mean, You're not
- 12:53Speaker 5: gonna get somethink that's perfect.
- 12:56Speaker 4: It's Morgan trading with their GM. Or is Wargans ready
- 13:00Speaker 4: with Harball.
- 13:01Speaker 6: He's not even listened back on the first line anymore
- 13:03Speaker 6: because of Abdul Carter, because of Burns. You know, they
- 13:07Speaker 6: have a lot of guys they've added there with the Giant.
- 13:09Speaker 6: Tibbodeau is not even starting right now for the Giants. Yeah,
- 13:11Speaker 6: and there are a lot of articles about trades. I
- 13:14Speaker 6: don't know. I don't know the dynamic of the Giant.
- 13:16Speaker 6: Talk to Flound about that. For me, Fit, I.
- 13:18Speaker 5: Don't know that the dynamics of Shane, who he's very
- 13:21Speaker 5: tight with. I guess that might have been your point, Fitty.
- 13:23Speaker 5: He's very tight with Joe'shane. Obviously Shane ows this one
- 13:27Speaker 5: from the Brian Burns trade.
- 13:28Speaker 4: That was my point exactly. Maybe you do. Maybe Dan
- 13:31Speaker 4: calls up and say, hey, remember when I let you
- 13:32Speaker 4: off the hook, when you get when we.
- 13:33Speaker 3: Give you, but your fear is a hardball says, what
- 13:36Speaker 3: are we doing here? What are we doing here exactly,
- 13:39Speaker 3: you ignoramus.
- 13:40Speaker 5: I'm here now to make sure you don't do stuff
- 13:42Speaker 5: all right anyway, I will say this though, Fitty, you
- 13:46Speaker 5: were mentioning the expectations we have to look in terms
- 13:50Speaker 5: of like do they need to go out and make
- 13:52Speaker 5: a trade because this team now is a team that
- 13:56Speaker 5: the goal is at least to get into the playoffs
- 13:59Speaker 5: right again.
- 13:59Speaker 3: And then I take a step back.
- 14:01Speaker 5: You don't have to go any further than last night's
- 14:03Speaker 5: press conference at the Momentum event. Do you have the
- 14:07Speaker 5: David Tepper comment about the team and what he thought
- 14:09Speaker 5: about him last year, what he thinks about him this year.
- 14:12Speaker 5: This is after the Nick Gorton injury, the torn acl
- 14:16Speaker 5: out for the season. This is what David Tepper says.
- 14:19Speaker 5: Does this sound like if you work for this guy
- 14:22Speaker 5: bone and you just lost a starting edge rusher, does
- 14:25Speaker 5: it sound like you might feel like I have to
- 14:27Speaker 5: get aggressive to replace And listen to.
- 14:29Speaker 8: This yesterday the guys were there and uh, you know
- 14:36Speaker 8: to the twelve with like a welveless patient And I
- 14:39Speaker 8: said last year going into the year, you know where
- 14:43Speaker 8: a team that could make We.
- 14:44Speaker 3: Weren't a playoff for people. We were team that could
- 14:45Speaker 3: make the playoffs. This year.
- 14:47Speaker 1: We're a playoffs, you know.
- 14:49Speaker 8: So it's just a question how much topmore player.
- 14:53Speaker 5: The boss expects them to be in the playoffs. That
- 14:56Speaker 5: was after Nick Corton got hurt. So does that mean,
- 15:00Speaker 5: like and we're getting some names Josh Wett, Max Crosby
- 15:02Speaker 5: all these days, does that mean they get more aggressive
- 15:05Speaker 5: than they'd usually be Bone?
- 15:06Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm just wondering. I mean, I guess
- 15:10Speaker 3: I'd rather I would rather go.
- 15:12Speaker 6: That route of trying to acquire someone with some upside
- 15:17Speaker 6: rather than someone signed that's on the downside.
- 15:20Speaker 3: And most of those.
- 15:21Speaker 6: Unsigned guys right now are all guys who have accomplished
- 15:24Speaker 6: a lot.
- 15:26Speaker 3: But are they gonna come in and are they? Are
- 15:28Speaker 3: they justin Houston's?
- 15:30Speaker 6: Are Are they gonna come in and actually be Van
- 15:33Speaker 6: Ney's interesting because he seems to be still almost ascending
- 15:38Speaker 6: as he gets older. But the other guys, like the
- 15:40Speaker 6: von Millers and the Clowneyes. I just my address level
- 15:44Speaker 6: is really not on those guys.
- 15:45Speaker 5: Seven oh four numbers says, could you trade Excel for
- 15:49Speaker 5: a pass rusher? I'm not sure how much Excel get
- 15:53Speaker 5: called the Cowboys the past. Jerry I'll jar it another texter. Yeah, well,
- 15:59Speaker 5: we're trying to look for a good one. Another text.
- 16:01Speaker 5: Are not sparing my feelings this morning? Yeah, what do
- 16:04Speaker 5: you get the pass rushing equivalent of excel in return?
- 16:08Speaker 5: Seven oh four number? That idiot, Mac gunna idiot? Did
- 16:12Speaker 5: this dude?
- 16:12Speaker 3: Really?
- 16:13Speaker 5: Just say, Fitty, you can't get great pass rushers? For example,
- 16:16Speaker 5: they're not You're not gonna trade for Miles Garrett, dumb ass, Mac,
- 16:20Speaker 5: the Rams just trade it for Miles Garrett.
- 16:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I get your point. I
- 16:26Speaker 3: guess I guess they get your point.
- 16:28Speaker 4: I don't like that guy calling you a dummy.
- 16:29Speaker 5: What I'm trying to say, Yeah, yeah, Mac, that's and
- 16:32Speaker 5: by the way, what did they have to give away
- 16:34Speaker 5: to get him right?
- 16:35Speaker 3: Like, I'm just the whole point is they're pricey, I guess,
- 16:38Speaker 3: is what I'm trying to say.
- 16:39Speaker 5: Edge rushers, and most people are not getting rid of
- 16:43Speaker 5: of great edge rushers because it's the most important position
- 16:46Speaker 5: on defense.
- 16:47Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying. But I get it. I get it.
- 16:49Speaker 3: Take your shots, take your shots.
- 16:51Speaker 6: When we come back. Sounds of the Panthers react. Sounds
- 16:54Speaker 6: of the Panthers full reaction on the scoring news and
- 16:58Speaker 6: we bask in the day of the Brazil High Brazel
- 17:02Speaker 6: kind of under under the radar, now mad because of
- 17:05Speaker 6: the big score news. We'll talk about Brazl and Roger
- 17:08Speaker 6: Goodell says something real interesting about the city of Charlotte.
- 17:12Speaker 6: Sports Radio ninety two to seven WFNZ.
- 17:39Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety.
- 17:40Speaker 5: Two to seven WFNZ, Mack and Bone. With you hanging
- 17:43Speaker 5: out here on a Friday, Maybe it's a football Friday,

- 17:49Speaker 5: out for the season, we have torn acl but we
- 17:51Speaker 5: do have football back, and we got renovations coming to
- 17:55Speaker 5: the stadium that include Bone.
- 17:57Speaker 3: The forty five hundred seat music.
- 18:00Speaker 5: You queue the salesman text to the show, there will be,
- 18:04Speaker 5: according to the Panthers, live music at that venue right
- 18:07Speaker 5: next to the stadium, eighty to one hundred days a year.
- 18:11Speaker 3: How about that.
- 18:13Speaker 5: Queue the snarky salesman text about Tepper bringing even more
- 18:17Speaker 5: live music to Charlotte.
- 18:19Speaker 3: You're going to get the Hansen reunion toys.
- 18:23Speaker 5: I was trying to think what type of artists would
- 18:26Speaker 5: book in the forty five hundred seat obviously.
- 18:29Speaker 3: Not getting the big Dogs. Yeah, you might have nailed
- 18:31Speaker 3: one right there.
- 18:32Speaker 5: I feel like that might like you might have to
- 18:34Speaker 5: might have hit the right level bone of artists. Oh
- 18:37Speaker 5: my goodness, all right, nickelback the Backstreet Boys.
- 18:40Speaker 6: No not that, No, no, not at that venue. Battree
- 18:43Speaker 6: Boys would sell out for it. No way, Backstreet Boys
- 18:47Speaker 6: are still above that.
- 18:48Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean if new kids can still be
- 18:50Speaker 5: above that, Backstreet Boys have to be.
- 18:51Speaker 6: We're talking about like for the first time in fifteen years.
- 18:55Speaker 6: It's right, said Fred.
- 18:58Speaker 5: I said, we're talking about Fitty and Willie's acoustic guitar extravaganza.
- 19:03Speaker 5: That might be the top type of artists we're talking about.
- 19:06Speaker 6: BA try to say the Bastery boy they would be
- 19:10Speaker 6: in a major event now doing don't Fitty?
- 19:13Speaker 5: You gotta learn you don't diss a boy band in
- 19:16Speaker 5: the presence of the bone.
- 19:17Speaker 3: No, you don't do it. Want that bad before you
- 19:19Speaker 3: walk yourself out of here.
- 19:21Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, all right, you got more defensive the
- 19:24Speaker 5: Backstreet Boys than you did me when I got called
- 19:26Speaker 5: a dumb ass and the last way sorry all right,
- 19:32Speaker 5: By the way, I want to make sure everybody knows
- 19:33Speaker 5: because I really we're all geeked up about football. We're
- 19:36Speaker 5: so excited to be, you know, in in football mode.
- 19:40Speaker 5: So I would expect more and more people to be like, man,
- 19:42Speaker 5: what I'm You know, I couldn't listen in all four hours?
- 19:45Speaker 3: What I missed?
- 19:46Speaker 5: So hit those podcasts up, y'all, w f n Z
- 19:49Speaker 5: dot Com, Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast.
- 19:52Speaker 3: Listen to the hours you miss.
- 19:54Speaker 5: Man, it's football, and this this show today tons of
- 19:57Speaker 5: Panther football, including the fan round table with Granny, Pat
- 20:01Speaker 5: weather Man, Mark and Panther Fitty. They're the panelists that's
- 20:04Speaker 5: coming up at eight forty five. But let's get to
- 20:07Speaker 5: some sounds of the Panthers here bone and let's start
- 20:11Speaker 5: with the commissioner. Why don't we Well, you tease this
- 20:14Speaker 5: a couple of minutes ago. So David Tepper at this
- 20:17Speaker 5: you know, big event about you know, talking about the
- 20:19Speaker 5: renovations and the Momentum interactive experience where you can see
- 20:23Speaker 5: what the stadium's going to be like when the renovations
- 20:25Speaker 5: are done in four years. Roger Goodell was there and
- 20:29Speaker 5: David Tepper made a comment about you know, Charlotte being
- 20:32Speaker 5: able to handle hosting a Super Bowl, and he kind
- 20:35Speaker 5: of was selling that we have so many million dollar
- 20:38Speaker 5: homes around the stadium, so like you could, you could
- 20:41Speaker 5: rent big homes out you can make up for the
- 20:43Speaker 5: lack of hotel rooms.
- 20:44Speaker 3: It was an interesting case, very interesting case.
- 20:46Speaker 5: But anyway, Roger Goodell actually addressed the possibility of Charlotte
- 20:51Speaker 5: hosting a Super Bowl and he actually brought up another
- 20:54Speaker 5: event bone that he thinks Charlotte is perfect for.
- 20:57Speaker 9: And you see the way that downtown to the ball
- 21:01Speaker 9: the first game came into my mind. I said that
- 21:03Speaker 9: the David, this is this is built for a draft?
- 21:07Speaker 9: Is it the location of Charlotte and in general?
- 21:14Speaker 10: And I think the way the the draft now it's
- 21:18Speaker 10: close to a million people attending to it the and
- 21:21Speaker 10: it's they're coming from all over, including internationally, and it's
- 21:26Speaker 10: become a global event that I think would be a
- 21:30Speaker 10: a terrific thing here in this town and with everything
- 21:33Speaker 10: that's being built, and there'll just be another step in
- 21:36Speaker 10: h As far as the super Bowl's concerned, there is
- 21:40Speaker 10: no question that the city keeps growing away. It is
- 21:43Speaker 10: it's really the stadium and the facility here is wonderful
- 21:47Speaker 10: and it's it's certainly super Bowl quality.
- 21:50Speaker 9: The real issue of Super bowls now is a number
- 21:52Speaker 9: of hotel groups, Paul, the hotels and.
- 21:54Speaker 10: Other facilities, which every time they come back here it's
- 21:57Speaker 10: it's completely different than.
- 21:59Speaker 9: It was when I want to the last time.
- 22:00Speaker 10: And so I think stech Groves continues, I think, you
- 22:04Speaker 10: know that's probably somewhere down the line in the future.
- 22:06Speaker 5: All right, toptfully get here that there's a little tone
- 22:08Speaker 5: to that there, right. But he brought up he said,
- 22:11Speaker 5: seems to think Charlotte's perfect as a draft site out there,
- 22:14Speaker 5: moving that around, and he did bring up a super Bowl.
- 22:17Speaker 5: But the hotel room issue, which is you know, Charlotte,
- 22:20Speaker 5: Charlotte's big issue on that. How do you view draft
- 22:24Speaker 5: super Bowl hosting in the future?
- 22:26Speaker 6: Draft is one thing I think right now, as constructed,
- 22:30Speaker 6: we have no shot at the super Bowl based on
- 22:32Speaker 6: the layout of the city.
- 22:35Speaker 3: The hotel room thing is massive.
- 22:37Speaker 6: Mac I was just in Nashville last week, Who's getting
- 22:40Speaker 6: the twenty thirty super Bowl? And immediately you see why
- 22:45Speaker 6: leagues and the NFL is drawn to that city. Everywhere
- 22:48Speaker 6: you turn, not only is there some restaurant, some bar,
- 22:52Speaker 6: all lined up in a row where it's easy to navigate,
- 22:56Speaker 6: like the whole Broadway strip, there's hotel everywhere. So immediately
- 23:02Speaker 6: you say, yeah, I get why. I think the SEC
- 23:04Speaker 6: Football Championship game probably end up there with that new stadium.
- 23:07Speaker 6: So they have the stadium in Nashville, the infrastructure, the
- 23:11Speaker 6: hotel rooms, the perfect layout, and I wish I could
- 23:15Speaker 6: say differently here, but I look at what you need
- 23:17Speaker 6: for the super Bowl and I just I can't see it. Stadium,
- 23:20Speaker 6: no infrastructure, no hotel rooms.
- 23:23Speaker 5: No.
- 23:24Speaker 3: I just don't see the super Bowl here the way
- 23:26Speaker 3: it's currently lined up.
- 23:27Speaker 5: Depending on the way it plays out weather wise, it
- 23:29Speaker 5: could be pretty cold here too, you know what I mean.
- 23:31Speaker 5: You don't know what you're gonna get, right, that's Charlotte
- 23:33Speaker 5: weather in February. I just don't even really think about
- 23:36Speaker 5: the Super Bowl field. Like it's one thing if we
- 23:38Speaker 5: were building a new stadium, retractable roof, dome and all
- 23:41Speaker 5: that stuff, But how much money is that gonna cost?
- 23:44Speaker 3: A tax? Mean, you know what I mean.
- 23:45Speaker 5: So I don't know. I don't think about that. I
- 23:47Speaker 5: have said for a couple of years now, since Charlotte
- 23:50Speaker 5: has shown interest in pursuing the draft, I have said,
- 23:53Speaker 5: that makes one hundred percent, since I don't know if
- 23:57Speaker 5: you do it. To use Rover Beard in Park. I
- 23:58Speaker 5: don't know where exactly you do that, Bony, Do you
- 24:01Speaker 5: do it uptown somewhere?
- 24:03Speaker 3: But I can see the hotel was still an issue
- 24:05Speaker 3: for the Draft as well. I can see us hosting.
- 24:07Speaker 5: I could see us hosting the Draft though, based on
- 24:10Speaker 5: Pittsburgh and some of the other cities.
- 24:12Speaker 3: That have hosted it and the size of those cities.
- 24:15Speaker 3: You know, Green Bay hotel rooms they got there. That's true.
- 24:18Speaker 6: Now for the Super Bowl, we would need the stadium
- 24:21Speaker 6: to be Man. I wish it was domed Man because
- 24:25Speaker 6: we would also how much money is that gonna cost?
- 24:27Speaker 6: We would Also We're a city that I also think
- 24:30Speaker 6: deserves final force, and a dome would at least put
- 24:33Speaker 6: us in the in the running for that, which we're
- 24:35Speaker 6: not obviously getting.
- 24:36Speaker 5: I'm a tep Tepa just texted me he'd like you
- 24:38Speaker 5: go in front of the city council started asking for
- 24:40Speaker 5: more money. No, they they chose renovating over trying to
- 24:44Speaker 5: to do something like that. I want to get to
- 24:46Speaker 5: some more sounds of the Panthers. Now back to the
- 24:48Speaker 5: practice that was yesterday. We had this great event last night,
- 24:51Speaker 5: but it kind of sucked because this stuff's so cool.
- 24:55Speaker 5: But you've got the Corton the shadow cast by Nick
- 24:59Speaker 5: Gorton's on fortunate injury the torn Aco and he's out
- 25:02Speaker 5: for the season. Dave Canalis, we talked about this with Zoki.
- 25:05Speaker 5: Stopped practice twenty minutes early. Just did not see like
- 25:10Speaker 5: a way to continue practice. That's how devastated the guys
- 25:13Speaker 5: were by this court and injury. So Canal has talked
- 25:17Speaker 5: about that after practice yesterday, the importance of stopping practice.
- 25:22Speaker 11: Know how much these guys mean to each other, and
- 25:24Speaker 11: if we go up there and I go up in
- 25:26Speaker 11: front of the guys and preach you know the fact
- 25:28Speaker 11: that we we lead with love and respect and connection
- 25:30Speaker 11: and relationship. You know, this moment, while we can certainly
- 25:33Speaker 11: move the drill and keep the practice going, you know,
- 25:35Speaker 11: we had enough time. Jeff and I kind of talked
- 25:38Speaker 11: about we had enough time in the practice to just
- 25:40Speaker 11: you know, to get a kickoff and everybody come up
- 25:42Speaker 11: and just make sure they send them some love, you know,
- 25:45Speaker 11: for who knows, who knows, who knows what it is.
- 25:48Speaker 11: But it's a chance for the guys to connect, and
- 25:50Speaker 11: I wanted to make sure they had a chance to
- 25:52Speaker 11: do that.
- 25:53Speaker 3: Man, that sucks, gosh, suck.
- 25:56Speaker 5: And you're right, you and I were, but not that
- 25:58Speaker 5: everybody wasn't driving the next court and wagon.
- 26:00Speaker 3: But we both were in that baby man.
- 26:02Speaker 6: We were feel excited to see this driving home with
- 26:05Speaker 6: so much hope. And then five minutes later, I'm calling back,
- 26:08Speaker 6: Oh God, come.
- 26:09Speaker 3: On, baby, keep pounding, baby, keep poundering, Come on, remember
- 26:12Speaker 3: who we are? We keep pounding.
- 26:15Speaker 6: Couple, Charlotte, I noticed that you haven't updated your win club.
- 26:21Speaker 5: Yeah, does my speech work? When before the injury I downgraded?
- 26:24Speaker 5: Let's buy a win?
- 26:26Speaker 12: All right?
- 26:26Speaker 3: Anyway, let's get.
- 26:27Speaker 6: Zochie Zogie came in earlier today and he looked at
- 26:30Speaker 6: the Panther ten win board and he said, oh, those
- 26:32Speaker 6: guys must be really shook by I talked about you
- 26:35Speaker 6: and Fiddy must be shook by the scorting injury. I
- 26:37Speaker 6: had to say, no, they they changed theirs yesterday morning.
- 26:42Speaker 6: I have not changed further though.
- 26:43Speaker 5: All right, the bone man has dropped his now win
- 26:46Speaker 5: bone Man's down from sixteen to fifteen wins.
- 26:49Speaker 3: The wod you drop to nine? Am I? Nine? Yeah?
- 26:52Speaker 3: Left it? Yeah? I was just kidding. All right, you're
- 26:54Speaker 3: down to nine Willie.
- 26:55Speaker 5: By the way, for those of you, we did get
- 26:56Speaker 5: a text about this has Willy ever given you his
- 27:00Speaker 5: Panther preseason wins?
- 27:02Speaker 3: You have not heard from Willie since Atlanta scored the
- 27:04Speaker 3: second goal the other night.
- 27:05Speaker 5: Will did Miguel Almard abduct Willie? Did he break our
- 27:10Speaker 5: hearts and take Willy with him back to Atlanta?
- 27:12Speaker 3: What happened?
- 27:13Speaker 6: Do we need an intervention with Willy that? Look, man,
- 27:15Speaker 6: you put your hard soul into that team.
- 27:17Speaker 3: You love it.
- 27:17Speaker 6: We get that, but man, you got to you gotta.
- 27:20Speaker 6: The players don't take the losses this heart. Excuse me,
- 27:23Speaker 6: it wasn't even a loss. The players don't take these draws.
- 27:26Speaker 6: I feel like losses.
- 27:27Speaker 5: Is that why he's not getting back to us? Or
- 27:29Speaker 5: is he mad at us? Fitting about something? What even happened?
- 27:32Speaker 4: Look, a lot of times I know when we do
- 27:34Speaker 4: something that's gonna get us in trouble with the p man.
- 27:37Speaker 4: I thought we were clean yesterday, like we played his
- 27:40Speaker 4: gold call. We didn't make fun of him as nearly
- 27:43Speaker 4: as much as we could usually do. I did reach
- 27:46Speaker 4: out to him this morning.
- 27:47Speaker 3: I did really clean for twenty four hours, but.
- 27:49Speaker 4: Just a simple text to him, stepdaddy with question marks
- 27:53Speaker 4: because I haven't heard from him.
- 27:54Speaker 3: That's what you call him and don't ask everybody.
- 27:57Speaker 4: I have not gotten a personal text from Willy since
- 28:01Speaker 4: Tuesday at seven to eleven pm. I texted him Wednesday night.
- 28:05Speaker 4: I texted him morning this morning.
- 28:07Speaker 5: Hate to see this hate to see this man anyway.
- 28:09Speaker 5: All right, let me get back to football here. We
- 28:11Speaker 5: got sidetracked a little bit with our internal deal with
- 28:13Speaker 5: their internal issues. Let's get back to football. The play
- 28:18Speaker 5: of the day yesterday was this Brazl high point down
- 28:23Speaker 5: the field. Bryce said, Bryce will tell you kind of
- 28:26Speaker 5: you know what he thinks of how the play went.
- 28:29Speaker 5: But Brasl goes up on a deep ball snatches it
- 28:31Speaker 5: in the air over Mike Jack. The only problem is
- 28:34Speaker 5: the savvy veteran Mike Jack finds a way to nudge
- 28:36Speaker 5: amount of bounds before he comes down. Canalis loved the
- 28:39Speaker 5: play because he thinks it was a good move, good
- 28:42Speaker 5: play by Brasl and a good play by Mike Jack.
- 28:45Speaker 5: But it has us thinking about the potential the kind
- 28:48Speaker 5: of plays that Brasl can make downfield. Bryce Young talked
- 28:51Speaker 5: about that play yesterday.
- 28:54Speaker 7: Obviously just a one on one shot. I just want
- 28:55Speaker 7: to put it up there where you know my guy
- 28:59Speaker 7: can make a play on it. For him to go
- 29:00Speaker 7: up and get it like that.
- 29:02Speaker 3: That that speaks to the player.
- 29:03Speaker 7: He is the competitor he is, you know, I think,
- 29:06Speaker 7: especially now, it's just great work Mike Jack doing a
- 29:10Speaker 7: great job of you know, having the awareness and pushing
- 29:12Speaker 7: out of bounds. That's what camp's about, you know, you know,
- 29:16Speaker 7: great great competitors going at it. I think all that's
- 29:18Speaker 7: gonna make us better. Seebe's looked great. He's been working
- 29:22Speaker 7: working super hard in the off season. You could see
- 29:25Speaker 7: him getting just more and more comfortable every practice, him
- 29:28Speaker 7: starting to think less and and and you know when
- 29:31Speaker 7: you get more reps at this level and this speed,
- 29:32Speaker 7: it just you see, you know who he has just
- 29:35Speaker 7: come out more and more and we're super excited for
- 29:37Speaker 7: for what he can bring.
- 29:40Speaker 5: He did he dropped his first few super excited of
- 29:42Speaker 5: the season baby yesterday. So, man, the funny thing is,
- 29:46Speaker 5: you and I were both luke warm at best on
- 29:48Speaker 5: the brassl pick. But again, go out there and make
- 29:52Speaker 5: us look like a fool, make us look like a
- 29:53Speaker 5: fool like t Maag did last year.
- 29:55Speaker 3: Bras.
- 29:55Speaker 6: Yeah, but I saw enough during the one mini camp
- 29:58Speaker 6: highlight that I changed my mind on.
- 29:59Speaker 3: That is true.
- 30:00Speaker 5: He has these and by the way, that was also
- 30:02Speaker 5: not a catch. He was out of bounds on that too.
- 30:04Speaker 5: He has two amazing practice non catches. That was so
- 30:08Speaker 5: cranked up. Oh man, all right, so one more sound
- 30:11Speaker 5: of the Panthers here and we got to get to
- 30:13Speaker 5: a fitty flash and update over there. This is Monroe
- 30:16Speaker 5: Freeling talking about once they started hearing about Moten's blood clot,
- 30:22Speaker 5: Robert hunt Bone has been in Freeling's ear.
- 30:25Speaker 3: Uh listen to this.
- 30:27Speaker 12: Yeah, it was like after they found out, like the
- 30:29Speaker 12: Timo news, he just kept on saying because he was
- 30:32Speaker 12: here working out and I was here working out, and
- 30:34Speaker 12: you know, every single day he's like, hey, you're coming
- 30:36Speaker 12: with me, Like you're coming to my side, Like I'm
- 30:39Speaker 12: gonna talk to him. And I don't know if he
- 30:40Speaker 12: did talk to him or not, but you know, I
- 30:42Speaker 12: texted him whenever I found out the news, and I
- 30:44Speaker 12: was like, hey, you got you got where you wanted.
- 30:45Speaker 12: Let's work.
- 30:47Speaker 5: So there you go. Hunt was lobby in, Come on,
- 30:49Speaker 5: big boy, come over to my side. Let's do it
- 30:51Speaker 5: on the right. So there you go about that, I
- 30:53Speaker 5: got what he wanted. By the way Colin has informed
- 30:55Speaker 5: us at Willie right now is prepping. He is m
- 30:58Speaker 5: seeing the Touchdown Club event with Brandy Chastain. Okay today,
- 31:02Speaker 5: so he's been locked in.
- 31:03Speaker 3: Maybe it's a first sign up here in a couple
- 31:06Speaker 3: of days.
- 31:07Speaker 5: He man do it, baby p Man in honor of
- 31:09Speaker 5: Brandy Chastain. I'm told Bone that he will take his
- 31:11Speaker 5: shirt off and reveal a sports brawl Bone at the
- 31:14Speaker 5: event today.
- 31:15Speaker 3: It's a touchdown glove. That's gonna make him out again.
- 31:18Speaker 4: I kind of want us to get into the Touchdown Club.
- 31:21Speaker 4: We can just cycle him during years.
- 31:22Speaker 3: Oh no, that's not gonna help it matter.
- 31:25Speaker 5: Pete, could you take a minute out of your preppages
