Latest / Mac & Bone Podcast / Mac & Bone Hour 4: Bryce Young to Blame?
Transcript
- 0:13Speaker 1: But this is your 90th NFL start. You've had a
- 0:16Speaker 1: week of prep. How confident are you in carrying this
- 0:18Speaker 1: team forward?
- 0:21Speaker 2: One thing that I do is forgetting those that is
- 0:25Speaker 2: behind and reaching forward to what's ahead.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Well, we're having beautiful weather today. How much do you
- 0:34Speaker 1: feel that's going to impact the game out here?
- 0:37Speaker 2: Man, I'm so grateful. that we get to focus on
- 0:41Speaker 2: winning one play at a time. The circumstances, conditions, and facts,
- 0:46Speaker 2: they don't matter. It's us doing, being doers, not speakers.
- 0:52Speaker 1: We're looking forward to seeing you doing it today, and
- 0:54Speaker 1: good luck.
- 0:55Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Oh, goosebumps.
- 0:58Speaker 4: I thought the city needed that. I thought Panther Nation
- 1:01Speaker 4: needed that a little bit. A little comic relief from
- 1:04Speaker 4: the deep philosopher, Jameis Winston. Jameis Socrates Winston. Very deep
- 1:11Speaker 4: stuff right there. That was his pregame interview. He was
- 1:14Speaker 4: hilarious in a postgame interview. Javon Holland intercepted Cam Ward.
- 1:18Speaker 3: They won 12-7. It was ugly. But what I would
- 1:20Speaker 3: do for an ugly win, Boan, Ah, what I would
- 1:23Speaker 3: do for an ugly win. I'm sorry.
- 1:25Speaker 5: I'm still trying to figure out Jameis' thing. If you
- 1:27Speaker 5: think too deeply about Jameis' quotes, you'll be here.
- 1:29Speaker 3: All day long.
- 1:30Speaker 4: Well, I was asking the question. Maybe it's not fun
- 1:32Speaker 4: to do this. Maybe I just need to, like you're saying,
- 1:35Speaker 4: just embrace Jameis. But when Jameis goes into philosopher mode, like,
- 1:40Speaker 4: does he really think he's deep?
- 1:42Speaker 3: Or is he just messing around with everybody? No, he's
- 1:45Speaker 3: messing around. It's like a bit.
- 1:46Speaker 5: In the video, he puts his head in the air
- 1:48Speaker 5: and stares straight into the sky. So obviously he knew
- 1:52Speaker 5: that he was just being cheesy. Mac, we're going to
- 1:55Speaker 5: do an Ask the Audience segment right here.
- 1:57Speaker 3: All right, let's do it. And Ask the.
- 1:58Speaker 5: Audience is now courtesy of QC Mechanical, local HVAC experts.
- 2:03Speaker 3: Awesome. Awesome. All right, so the question is, Boney, who's
- 2:08Speaker 3: giving the question?
- 2:09Speaker 4: You can go ahead and do it. I am looking forward,
- 2:12Speaker 4: and I'm not looking back. I'm going to be— actually, I'm
- 2:14Speaker 4: going to be a sayer and not a doer. That's
- 2:16Speaker 4: the way we live at radio. We don't do crap,
- 2:18Speaker 4: we just say things. Longfellow McLean. All right, so the
- 2:21Speaker 4: question is simple, and maybe, Bone, maybe I'll regret asking
- 2:25Speaker 4: this question, but it must be discussed. How much blame
- 2:28Speaker 4: do you put on Bryce yesterday? I think it's safe
- 2:31Speaker 4: to say— I think it's safe to say, I know Phitty
- 2:32Speaker 4: said differently— that it was his worst game of the year, that,
- 2:35Speaker 4: as Canales said, he was missing some throws— Maybe not
- 2:39Speaker 4: pulling the trigger on some other throws that he normally
- 2:42Speaker 4: would make. And he'd make the plays, right? Zoki brought
- 2:45Speaker 4: up there were times he didn't run. We both brought
- 2:48Speaker 4: up the time bone that he could have ran, got
- 2:50Speaker 4: some yards, but he throws into the back of the
- 2:52Speaker 4: end zone in.
- 2:53Speaker 3: The dog pound, right? Was that the ankle?
- 2:55Speaker 6: So.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Did you lose faith in Bryce with that performance?
- 3:00Speaker 4: Hell, we had a caller named Chris that is pissed
- 3:02Speaker 4: off damn near an entire fan base on the text
- 3:05Speaker 4: line saying that he watched that game and his big
- 3:08Speaker 4: takeaway is it's not worth ever paying Bryce. Have you
- 3:11Speaker 4: lost faith in Bryce? Have you lost faith in the offense?
- 3:15Speaker 4: To me, that one bone might be a little more legit.
- 3:18Speaker 4: Like the Bryce one, I thought he overcame a lot.
- 3:21Speaker 4: Like you said, brought us back, gave us a lead twice,
- 3:23Speaker 4: still made some great throws. but the circumstances made it
- 3:28Speaker 4: tougher for him to do his thing. If you want
- 3:32Speaker 4: to say you've lost some faith in the offense because
- 3:35Speaker 4: the run game, as bad as it was for a half,
- 3:38Speaker 4: The offensive line continues to struggle. I could understand that
- 3:42Speaker 4: more than saying, oh, I'm out on Bryce again. Yeah,
- 3:45Speaker 4: because where does Bryce rank in the offensive issues? Way
- 3:50Speaker 4: down there. You have the offensive line, which is a
- 3:52Speaker 4: major problem right now. The run game's a problem, both
- 3:55Speaker 4: in performance and a lot of times they're sticking with it.
- 3:59Speaker 4: And we got to say, Mac, right now, TMAC is
- 4:03Speaker 4: a little bit of an issue. He no-showed yesterday. So
- 4:06Speaker 4: I think if you're talking about yesterday's performance, I think
- 4:09Speaker 4: TMAC is a much.
- 4:12Speaker 5: longer discussion from yesterday than Bryce Young would be where
- 4:16Speaker 5: I know that Denzel Ward is good but if T-Mag
- 4:18Speaker 5: is going to be a number one wide out much
- 4:21Speaker 5: like Devonta I know that Devonta Adams is 12 years
- 4:24Speaker 5: in and he's a future hall of famer but Devonta
- 4:26Speaker 5: Adams was against Patrick Sertan last night and put up
- 4:29Speaker 5: 127 yards in the game there will be times you
- 4:32Speaker 5: are matched up against that team's number one and you
- 4:35Speaker 5: still have to be somewhat of a factor in the
- 4:36Speaker 5: football game I mean, no factor whatsoever is unacceptable.
- 4:40Speaker 4: I would like to piggyback and say, is the burden
- 4:43Speaker 4: on the offensive staff to get that guy going? Like,
- 4:47Speaker 4: I brought up the fact that Denzel Ward went into
- 4:49Speaker 4: the slot zero times. Get T-Mac in the slot and
- 4:53Speaker 4: then find ways to get him open. Like, I feel
- 4:56Speaker 4: like there's a burden on the offensive play caller, Brad Idzik,
- 5:00Speaker 4: Dave Canales talking to him, other offensive staff members to
- 5:02Speaker 4: be like, dude, we can't let our best player be
- 5:04Speaker 4: taken away, especially when Coker's out. You know, we got
- 5:08Speaker 4: to find a way to get them going. So that's
- 5:10Speaker 4: something I would do. I'm with you. The way you
- 5:12Speaker 4: put that when you started, where does Bryce Young rank
- 5:16Speaker 4: on the list of offensive issues? It was ugly as
- 5:18Speaker 4: crap offensively. To me, Bryce Young ranks so far down
- 5:22Speaker 4: on the negative list, the list to blame. And a
- 5:25Speaker 4: matter of fact, he's right up there at the top of,
- 5:28Speaker 4: along with the defense, why do we even have a
- 5:29Speaker 4: chance to win a game when it was that ugly?
- 5:33Speaker 4: I didn't like the going forward on fourth down from
- 5:34Speaker 4: your own 40. In a game like that, Bone, where
- 5:37Speaker 4: if you hand them seven points because of a short field,
- 5:40Speaker 4: it might be the difference in a game when you
- 5:41Speaker 4: know points are going to be at a premium. There's
- 5:44Speaker 4: a lot of things. The offensive line goes without saying.
- 5:46Speaker 4: Rasheed Walker gave up six pressures, according to PFF. Sumer Sports,
- 5:52Speaker 4: so did Freeling, so did Hunt.
- 5:54Speaker 3: So it was a bunch of guys.
- 5:55Speaker 4: Sumer Sports says the Panthers gave up pressure on 63%
- 5:59Speaker 4: of the dropbacks, the highest number of the season so far.
- 6:03Speaker 4: So it's like, it's... Bryce Young had to overcome so much.
- 6:07Speaker 4: I get there's going to be people that always fall
- 6:10Speaker 4: back on Bryce.
- 6:11Speaker 3: It's easy to blame the quarterback and the coach.
- 6:14Speaker 4: It just feels like he was the only reason we
- 6:16Speaker 4: didn't get shut out in this football game.
- 6:20Speaker 5: No, he brought him back twice. And when your O-line
- 6:23Speaker 5: fails you, a wide receiver goes missing, you're really the
- 6:27Speaker 5: guy that's been your number one target all year. goes
- 6:30Speaker 5: out with injury, the run game's inconsistent. What is Bryce
- 6:34Speaker 5: supposed to do when all that's going against him? He
- 6:37Speaker 5: leads the league in passing yards, and he's the most
- 6:39Speaker 5: pressured quarterback in the league. Think about that for a second.
- 6:42Speaker 5: He leads the league in passing yards despite being under
- 6:45Speaker 5: the most pressure. And also, and I was thinking this yesterday,
- 6:48Speaker 5: I know he had the INT at the end, but
- 6:51Speaker 5: Bryce has also eliminated... a lot of the silly turnovers.
- 6:55Speaker 5: Those interceptions where you go, oh, what did he see?
- 6:58Speaker 5: Remember how many fumbles he's had where he just drops
- 7:00Speaker 5: the ball? You're not seeing Bryce right now having those
- 7:04Speaker 5: panic turnovers that have played him for the first couple
- 7:06Speaker 5: of years.
- 7:07Speaker 4: Especially in a game like that, when he's that pressured.
- 7:10Speaker 4: That's what I was saying to Fitty. I said, past years,
- 7:12Speaker 4: Bryce Young, I believe, especially early season past years, Bryce
- 7:15Speaker 4: Young would have turned it over a couple of times
- 7:17Speaker 4: under that pressure. And the interception at the end of
- 7:20Speaker 4: the game, it's not even on him. A guy got
- 7:22Speaker 4: beat on a row line. His arm got hit and
- 7:25Speaker 4: the ball flies up in the air. So like I
- 7:27Speaker 4: do now, did he throw it away a ton? Was
- 7:29Speaker 4: he super conservative with the throwaways? I just said, super
- 7:32Speaker 4: like I'm Bryce. Yeah, he was at least six or
- 7:35Speaker 4: seven throat throwaways, but yeah, I think that's a sign
- 7:38Speaker 4: of growth. Um, he battled through it mentally, even Stinky
- 7:43Speaker 4: Schlereth gave him credit for that. Says the way Bryce
- 7:46Speaker 4: Young has been hitting this game, he's already injured. The
- 7:49Speaker 4: fact that he's battling back and driving them down the
- 7:52Speaker 4: field and making these throws, he says it shows some toughness.
- 7:56Speaker 4: mentally and physically. So I like it. I just, I
- 8:01Speaker 4: think Fitty, you were trying to say this fit. And
- 8:03Speaker 4: I liked, you said you thought it was like his
- 8:05Speaker 4: best game given the circumstances. I, somebody else said, am
- 8:10Speaker 4: I the only one that thought Bryce Port proved more
- 8:13Speaker 4: to us yesterday than he did in the first two games?
- 8:17Speaker 4: And I think that person's thinking like you, considering everything,
- 8:20Speaker 4: his own injury, everything he had to overcome, no running game,
- 8:23Speaker 4: no Coke or no XL. Like, I think that's what
- 8:26Speaker 4: y'all are trying to say. You know, he overcame all that, man.
- 8:29Speaker 8: If we look at Bryce's first three games, Mac, in
- 8:33Speaker 8: a vacuum, look at what he's done.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Week one in a game that was a shootout, matched.
- 8:40Speaker 8: Drive for drive, point for point with Caleb Williams and
- 8:43Speaker 8: the Bears, really until the defense gave out. Like, Bryce
- 8:48Speaker 8: Young did his job week one to give them a
- 8:50Speaker 8: chance for the football game. Last week, on the road
- 8:53Speaker 8: against Atlanta, Bad football team, right? What's Bryce Young do?
- 8:57Speaker 8: He engineers an offensive performance. The game was over at halftime.
- 9:00Speaker 8: And then you look at yesterday, couldn't run the ball
- 9:02Speaker 8: until the fourth quarter. They couldn't pass block to save
- 9:05Speaker 8: their life. And he was still giving them a chance
- 9:09Speaker 8: to win the game. Like, there's been three different unique
- 9:12Speaker 8: games he's played in so far. And all three times,
- 9:15Speaker 8: your quarterback has done his job. Like, guys, there will
- 9:19Speaker 8: come a day, I promise you, that they will lose
- 9:22Speaker 8: a football game. And Bryce Young will be the factor
- 9:26Speaker 8: as to why. That wasn't the case yesterday.
- 9:29Speaker 2: No, it wasn't.
- 9:30Speaker 3: Point blank, period.
- 9:31Speaker 8: If you think that they lost because of the guy
- 9:34Speaker 8: that wears No. 9, you don't know football.
- 9:37Speaker 3: You may enjoy it.
- 9:39Speaker 8: You may enjoy watching it and what football can bring
- 9:42Speaker 8: you from a fan perspective, being around people and eating
- 9:45Speaker 8: good food, drinking beer.
- 9:47Speaker 4: But you don't know what the hell you're watching. I
- 9:49Speaker 4: think what Finney's trying to say, Bone, is don't try
- 9:52Speaker 4: to play me, pal, because I know ball.
- 9:54Speaker 8: But at some point, like, this fan base quite literally
- 9:58Speaker 8: grow up.
- 10:00Speaker 3: You don't lose every game because of the quarterback. You don't.
- 10:05Speaker 3: Do they think Jameis played a better game than Bryce?
- 10:07Speaker 3: Paging Bebop. Paging Bebop. Oh, Bebop.
- 10:10Speaker 5: You said, though, watching games with people and friends. That's
- 10:13Speaker 5: not Bebop, though. He watches games by himself in a
- 10:15Speaker 5: dark room.
- 10:15Speaker 3: He reads the newspaper clippings. Only friend himself. And then
- 10:19Speaker 3: comes along with analysis.
- 10:20Speaker 4: Bebop says, Mac, I hope you're in the room for
- 10:22Speaker 4: Bryce's contract negotiations. This texter says, going into the game,
- 10:28Speaker 4: we ranked 20th in rushing and still put up 71 points,
- 10:32Speaker 4: all because of Bryce Young.
- 10:33Speaker 3: These people are idiots.
- 10:35Speaker 4: Tommy says Bryce was definitely not the reason we lost,
- 10:38Speaker 4: but it's okay to admit some of the bad throws,
- 10:41Speaker 4: some of the bad decisions. You guys coddle Bryce like
- 10:44Speaker 4: he's a baby.
- 10:45Speaker 3: But what's the context?
- 10:48Speaker 8: The context was his offensive line couldn't pass block.
- 10:52Speaker 3: The context is, Mac, his ankle was hurt.
- 10:55Speaker 1: You.
- 10:56Speaker 8: You think you would have been out there making the
- 10:57Speaker 8: plays if you were out there with an impaired ankle?
- 11:00Speaker 3: That answer is no. That dude probably gets wind of
- 11:03Speaker 3: going to check his mailbox. Takes one to know one.
- 11:07Speaker 3: I don't check the mail, so I don't get winded. Okay.
- 11:10Speaker 4: Bryce, by the way, Bryce had a 101 quarterback rating
- 11:15Speaker 4: with a clean pocket, a 42 quarterback rating, according to PFF,
- 11:19Speaker 4: under pressure.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Seems pretty similar. Not similar. What am I telling you?
- 11:23Speaker 3: It's very not similar. It seems simple. There you go.
- 11:27Speaker 4: But it wasn't simple for me, Bone, to say that.
- 11:31Speaker 3: What are you thinking about this, Bowen? I will say this.
- 11:35Speaker 3: I'm still thinking about Jameis. You want another.
- 11:37Speaker 4: Jameis quote to uplift you, to help you get through
- 11:40Speaker 4: your Monday? To be is not to be or to be.
- 11:48Speaker 4: This dude is the funniest damn guy in sports. Like,
- 11:52Speaker 4: he is like a character from some sort of comedy
- 11:55Speaker 4: sports movie.
- 11:55Speaker 8: I know.
- 11:56Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 11:56Speaker 4: Like, you would think Will Ferrell would play this guy
- 11:58Speaker 4: or something. Like, it's just, it really is.
- 12:00Speaker 5: It makes you wonder, like, with the crab legs, like,
- 12:03Speaker 5: what was really going on that day? Was he just, like,
- 12:05Speaker 5: being goofy and doing, you know.
- 12:06Speaker 6: What I mean?
- 12:06Speaker 3: What was going on that day? It does make you wonder.
- 12:07Speaker 3: It does make you wonder. Here's what I was going
- 12:09Speaker 3: to say. Was he, like, just stuffing him in his shirt? Like,
- 12:10Speaker 3: watch this. And then he got caught. It does make,
- 12:14Speaker 3: I do need to say, Bone. I don't know if
- 12:16Speaker 3: you've noticed this.
- 12:16Speaker 4: I think it is way less people bashing Bryce after
- 12:20Speaker 4: a loss, an ugly offensive loss, than we normally get
- 12:24Speaker 4: in past seasons. So I do think it's a very
- 12:27Speaker 4: small majority. What the heck am I saying, man? Jameis,
- 12:34Speaker 4: help me out with the words, baby. Small minority.
- 12:37Speaker 5: I haven't heard a guy this twisted up since Weatherman
- 12:39Speaker 5: Mark at 835 this morning.
- 12:43Speaker 4: My timbers are shivered bone and my turbines are twisted.
- 12:50Speaker 3: I love you though, Mark.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Love you.
- 12:51Speaker 3: Oh, geez.
- 12:54Speaker 4: This, this texture says Bryce led what would have been
- 12:57Speaker 4: another game winning drive.
- 12:58Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 12:59Speaker 4: As much as I will defend the defense from the
- 13:01Speaker 4: guy that tried to say they played horrible because they
- 13:04Speaker 4: kept us in it. It does need to be noted
- 13:07Speaker 4: that the defense gave up a touchdown drive. Matter of fact,
- 13:10Speaker 4: the defense gave up two drives to give them points, Bone,
- 13:13Speaker 4: after we took the lead. And hadn't given up a
- 13:16Speaker 4: point in five straight drives before that.
- 13:18Speaker 3: And guess what?
- 13:19Speaker 8: With the minute 48, I thought we were still going
- 13:22Speaker 8: to win the game.
- 13:22Speaker 3: I know, dude. That drive was terrible. I'll go a
- 13:24Speaker 3: step further.
- 13:26Speaker 8: After Munkin did what he did, going forward on the
- 13:29Speaker 8: fourth down, as opposed to kicking the field goal, I
- 13:32Speaker 8: wonder what analytic nerd came up with that idea. Mack,
- 13:35Speaker 8: I thought the minute to go, we were going to overtime.
- 13:38Speaker 8: Why do I feel that way?
- 13:41Speaker 3: Because of who the quarterback is. Because Bryce has done
- 13:43Speaker 3: it over and over again in those situations. Exactly. Didn't
- 13:46Speaker 3: have anything to do with anybody else. You know? Coaches?
- 13:50Speaker 6: O-line?
- 13:50Speaker 3: Anybody else? Darren's very upset with us this morning, Matt.
- 13:53Speaker 8: Oh, no.
- 13:54Speaker 5: And he's saying he can't listen to us this morning
- 13:56Speaker 5: because we're just Bryce excuse makers.
- 13:58Speaker 3: Blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 14:00Speaker 5: He also points out Bo Nix has 24 wins in
- 14:03Speaker 5: two years. Bryce has 14. I'm asking Darren right now.
- 14:08Speaker 5: Bo Nix, Mac, also has the benefit of one of
- 14:10Speaker 5: the best defenses in football during his time so far.
- 14:13Speaker 5: Has Bryce had the defense that Bo Nix has had
- 14:16Speaker 5: in Denver so far?
- 14:17Speaker 3: Definitely not. I don't think so.
- 14:18Speaker 4: Even if the Denver defense this year might not look
- 14:20Speaker 4: like it normally does, in fairness. But, yeah, it's just,
- 14:25Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't say to people like that.
- 14:27Speaker 4: Here's another texter. I need to know. Does Bone coddle
- 14:33Speaker 4: Murphy like this? Does Mack coddle his kids like this?
- 14:36Speaker 4: Bryce is a big boy. He can take criticism.
- 14:39Speaker 5: No, I do not. I'm a tough on crime on Murphy. No,
- 14:44Speaker 5: I'm like a drill sergeant right now on Murphy.
- 14:46Speaker 3: You whipping him into shape, Bone? You showing him who's boss?
- 14:49Speaker 5: We did some training drills on Saturday and had a...
- 14:52Speaker 5: behave and sit and not bite my legs there you.
- 14:55Speaker 4: Go baby there you go you battling back bony he
- 14:58Speaker 4: has a new thing lately where he he bites my
- 15:00Speaker 4: he bites my feet out of nowhere and it's a
- 15:02Speaker 4: problem just like toe like my crutches my toes i
- 15:06Speaker 4: gotta be honest rocket six and still does that sometimes
- 15:09Speaker 4: like some dogs are just gonna be puppies too for
- 15:11Speaker 4: their entire life i feel like and that's pretty damn
- 15:14Speaker 4: annoying uh and of course i coddle him i don't
- 15:16Speaker 4: yell at him at all Oh, man.
- 15:19Speaker 3: Anyway, I don't know.
- 15:21Speaker 4: This texter says not one person says anything about the
- 15:24Speaker 4: coaching staff. No, I think we brought up coaching staff
- 15:27Speaker 4: fourth and one gamble. How long did it take? Vero
- 15:30Speaker 4: never gets brought up. I think I think we're talking
- 15:33Speaker 4: offense now, maybe instead of Bryce.
- 15:35Speaker 3: How about bone?
- 15:36Speaker 4: How long it took them to adjust when they realize, oh,
- 15:39Speaker 4: Bryce has no time. Felt like it took him too long.
- 15:42Speaker 4: Idzik finally adjusts, moves the pocket. We go down and
- 15:45Speaker 4: score our only touchdown. I also think, Bone, that in
- 15:49Speaker 4: the words of Darren Waller, and it's backed up by
- 15:51Speaker 4: the Sumer Sports stats, Sumer Sports says they played zone
- 15:54Speaker 4: coverage 62% of the time. I think the Panthers went
- 15:57Speaker 4: in there expecting a ton of man coverage like they
- 15:59Speaker 4: did the week before. And I think they got fooled
- 16:02Speaker 4: by it. And I think that I think we got outcoached.
- 16:05Speaker 4: I think it's safe to say offensively we got outcoached yesterday.
- 16:09Speaker 3: I don't think you can deny that.
- 16:10Speaker 4: So, yeah, I think they need a little more heat.
- 16:13Speaker 4: I did love the guys stepping up, though. Bone tight
- 16:15Speaker 4: ends with 128 receiving yards total. Bryson Tremaine stepped up.
- 16:20Speaker 3: That was cool to see.
- 16:20Speaker 5: That asked the audience was courtesy of QC Mechanical, your
- 16:24Speaker 5: local HVAC experts. When we come back on the Mac
- 16:27Speaker 5: and Bone Show, it's college football conclusions, thoughts on the
- 16:31Speaker 5: Dylan Stewart suspension, a salty Dave Dorn in the postgame,
- 16:36Speaker 5: and how cool is Jay Dicker and how not cool
- 16:40Speaker 5: was the hit on Dante Moore for Oregon.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 16:51Speaker 6: So Hey, Coach, where do you think the biggest disconnect
- 17:15Speaker 6: is for your team in the fourth quarter? Does it
- 17:17Speaker 6: come down to the players playing not to lose, or
- 17:19Speaker 6: do you think it's from safer play calling?
- 17:23Speaker 9: No, I think it's just execution. You know, on defense
- 17:26Speaker 9: in particular, we've got to execute better, and we've got
- 17:28Speaker 9: to put in a tough field position on the onside kick.
- 17:30Speaker 9: But we've got to play better technique, and guys have
- 17:34Speaker 9: got to do a better job, you know, staying on
- 17:36Speaker 9: top of routes and linebackers being where they're supposed to
- 17:39Speaker 9: be in the coverage and then winning in pass rush. So,
- 17:42Speaker 9: you know, that's it. execution thing it's definitely not playing
- 17:46Speaker 9: timid I mean I don't see that from our guys
- 17:49Speaker 9: at all but execution has to be better thanks thanks
- 17:54Speaker 9: coach by the way by the way we won that football.
- 17:57Speaker 4: Game That is the way Dave Doran ended his press conference.
- 18:04Speaker 4: I don't think he liked, Bo, maybe the tone of
- 18:06Speaker 4: the questions in general after they blew a lead again.
- 18:09Speaker 3: Well, it's just a friendly reminder. I don't think he
- 18:11Speaker 3: meant anything by it. This time they rebounded.
- 18:14Speaker 4: I don't think he liked that question about the disconnect
- 18:16Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter because they scored the last 10
- 18:19Speaker 4: points of the game after App scored 21 straight to
- 18:21Speaker 4: tie it. And a little passive aggressive there at the
- 18:25Speaker 4: end from Dave Doran. What'd you think of that bone?
- 18:29Speaker 4: I saw a lot of people drawing the conclusion. Dave
- 18:32Speaker 4: Doran appears to be miserable. Can we end this for everybody?
- 18:37Speaker 4: But here's the thing, though. Dave Doran always kind of
- 18:42Speaker 4: seems that way, though. He's never really over the top.
- 18:44Speaker 3: He's feisty.
- 18:45Speaker 4: He's always had a feisty side. Remember the way he
- 18:47Speaker 4: went after Dabo and Clemson? He's feisty, man.
- 18:52Speaker 5: He's feisty, but I don't know if it's because he's
- 18:54Speaker 5: feeling any more pressure or that's just naturally. Dave Doran
- 18:57Speaker 5: never seems like he's ever in a good mood anyway.
- 19:00Speaker 5: So I don't know if it's anything extra or that's
- 19:02Speaker 5: just Dave being Dave.
- 19:03Speaker 3: He's in a good mood. I lean towards that's just
- 19:05Speaker 3: him being Dave.
- 19:06Speaker 4: He's in a good mood, Bone, Saturday night after Halloween.
- 19:12Speaker 4: I messed up my own joke. After Thanksgiving. He's usually
- 19:15Speaker 4: in a good mood that night.
- 19:16Speaker 3: That's a good point.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Who isn't?
- 19:17Speaker 3: You're eating leftover turkey. Not you, because you'll do a
- 19:20Speaker 3: Carolina lose. Dave Doran finishes all his turkey.
- 19:22Speaker 4: He finishes all Bill Belichick and whoever's coaching the heels
- 19:25Speaker 4: that Saturday.
- 19:26Speaker 3: I cannot wait until we beat him. We can shut
- 19:28Speaker 3: your fat mouth up.
- 19:29Speaker 6: Anyway.
- 19:30Speaker 3: Is this a year fit?
- 19:32Speaker 4: I think he's– I don't– I don't know, Bone, if
- 19:36Speaker 4: he's having a lot of fun these last couple weeks.
- 19:40Speaker 4: Surely he's not going to say to the guys in
- 19:42Speaker 4: practice and in film session, hey, don't worry about that
- 19:45Speaker 4: blown 21-point lead to a group of 16. Don't worry
- 19:48Speaker 4: about that. You guys won in the end.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Like, surely.
- 19:52Speaker 4: You know, he was unhappy with a lot of stuff too. But,
- 19:56Speaker 4: you know, he doesn't want to admit that out publicly
- 19:58Speaker 4: and he's trying to, you know, put up this front
- 20:01Speaker 4: or whatever. I just think anything Dave Doran does, Bone,
- 20:04Speaker 4: is going to bother a lot of state fans right
- 20:06Speaker 4: now because I don't think they're happy after Saturday. Yeah,
- 20:10Speaker 4: you won an in-state game, but you could have stepped
- 20:13Speaker 4: on the gas pedal and finished them boys off and
- 20:15Speaker 4: you invited them right back in. And that's a disturbing
- 20:18Speaker 4: trend the last two weeks, man. And by the way,
- 20:21Speaker 4: Who do they get next? An angry Louisville team coming
- 20:24Speaker 4: off a loss, and Wake Forest, a team that's good
- 20:26Speaker 4: enough to beat Louisville.
- 20:28Speaker 3: That could be two and four, dude.
- 20:30Speaker 5: And Louisville's already maybe on the outside looking in for
- 20:34Speaker 5: the postseason. They can't afford any more losses, so you
- 20:36Speaker 5: know you're getting their best shot.
- 20:39Speaker 3: Although... Their quarterback is hurt, though. We'll have to see
- 20:42Speaker 3: about his status here going forward.
- 20:43Speaker 4: He was limping at the end of the game, but
- 20:45Speaker 4: he seems like the type of guy that would just
- 20:47Speaker 4: get a saw out and just cut the leg off
- 20:50Speaker 4: and just hop on the good one. You know what
- 20:51Speaker 4: I mean? Like, Keenhole seems like an animal. Like Baker
- 20:54Speaker 4: Mayfield type. He does, doesn't he? But Baker may not
- 20:56Speaker 4: have any thumbs left this season. Holy crap, Baker. Man,
- 20:59Speaker 4: that was... Like the thing is, Bryce was under pressure
- 21:03Speaker 4: all the time, but found a way to only get
- 21:05Speaker 4: sacked a few times. Baker Mayfield was under pressure the
- 21:08Speaker 4: whole day and got sacked a whole hell of a lot.
- 21:11Speaker 4: He was like a human pinata in that game against
- 21:13Speaker 4: that Brian Flores defense yesterday.
- 21:15Speaker 5: That Vikings defense is when do the Panthers play Minnesota,
- 21:19Speaker 5: by the way? Later on November, right?
- 21:23Speaker 3: I think it's in December.
- 21:24Speaker 5: Second half of the year. We're going to need to
- 21:26Speaker 5: fix the offensive line before that game.
- 21:28Speaker 3: Seriously. Flores, you don't even need to look up the
- 21:30Speaker 3: blitz percentage for Flores. It's 100%. Or very close to
- 21:34Speaker 3: it every game. Oh, my God.
- 21:36Speaker 4: All right, let's get back to some college football conclusions.
- 21:38Speaker 4: And feel free, y'all, if y'all want to throw in.
- 21:41Speaker 4: Lighthearted stuff or any things we didn't mention from the
- 21:44Speaker 4: week that was.
- 21:45Speaker 3: December 6th. December 6th is the Vikings. All right. Hope
- 21:49Speaker 3: they're not playing quite like this. They're 3-0.
- 21:51Speaker 4: And we do also want to thank the 3-0 Raiders
- 21:53Speaker 4: for helping keep us in first place for the division.
- 21:56Speaker 4: Coming back from 11 down to beat the Saints. All right,
- 21:58Speaker 4: let's get back to some college football. I can't go
- 22:00Speaker 4: any longer, Bone, without talking about Texas, Tennessee. um in
- 22:06Speaker 4: general but specifically bone the uh can we say one
- 22:10Speaker 4: of our conclusions needs to be that the referee announcing
- 22:13Speaker 4: the penalty on colin simmons after his uh celebration of
- 22:18Speaker 4: a sack um might be the best announcement of a
- 22:21Speaker 4: penalty since that guy said giving him the business oh
- 22:23Speaker 4: yeah back in the days listen to the referee explain
- 22:27Speaker 4: what was what the penalty was for on colin simmons
- 22:29Speaker 4: on his celebration That's sportsmanlike conduct.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Defense, number one, is stimulating using the restrooms.
- 22:37Speaker 6: It's a 15-yard pre-league from succeeding spots.
- 22:40Speaker 2: Automatic post-down.
- 22:41Speaker 3: Simulating using the restrooms. Oh, my God. Yeah, it looked
- 22:45Speaker 3: like he was tinkling there.
- 22:46Speaker 4: It looks like he unzipped himself and tinkled right there
- 22:49Speaker 4: on the field.
- 22:50Speaker 5: That's what they told me when I got caught peeing
- 22:51Speaker 5: in the parking deck once when I was younger. Except
- 22:54Speaker 5: you weren't simulating. No, I was using the restroom, yeah.
- 22:57Speaker 5: I got caught by the urination task force. Hey, at
- 23:00Speaker 5: least he didn't do that, Boney. At least he didn't actually.
- 23:04Speaker 3: It's true. At least he only simulated.
- 23:06Speaker 4: My whole thing about that, first of all, I need
- 23:08Speaker 4: to say, and I know people got mad when Sarkeesian said,
- 23:12Speaker 4: that's the way society is.
- 23:13Speaker 3: It's a look-at-me society. He goes.
- 23:16Speaker 4: But I like those five sacks, though. And people got
- 23:17Speaker 4: mad at him. It's like, you're not going to discipline
- 23:19Speaker 4: the guy at all, are you? Because he got five
- 23:21Speaker 4: sacks for you. Can I say, that dude, that dude
- 23:25Speaker 4: is what Dylan Stewart is supposed to be. That dude
- 23:28Speaker 4: is going to get drafted very high in the draft.
- 23:30Speaker 4: He is an edge rusher that was absolutely playing with
- 23:34Speaker 4: his hair on fire. Five freaking sacks. And it could
- 23:37Speaker 4: have been six bone, but there was another penalty that
- 23:39Speaker 4: called back his six sack later in the game. This
- 23:42Speaker 4: dude was an animal.
- 23:44Speaker 5: The other day bro two years ago dylan stewart got
- 23:46Speaker 5: the penalty for emptying the clip the gun the the
- 23:49Speaker 5: machine gun uh the machine gun celebration That was the
- 23:53Speaker 5: best of times for Dylan Stewart.
- 23:54Speaker 4: Now he doesn't have anything to celebrate, so he just
- 23:56Speaker 4: gets himself in trouble.
- 23:58Speaker 3: Punching Bama players.
- 23:59Speaker 4: Yeah, punching Bama players and ignoring his coaches.
- 24:01Speaker 5: What was kind of funny to me was when Laura
- 24:03Speaker 5: Rutledge did the report at the beginning of Texas-Tennessee about
- 24:08Speaker 5: President Trump being there, and when he moves around, the
- 24:12Speaker 5: communication issues that may happen with the teams, and she
- 24:15Speaker 5: had all these big words.
- 24:16Speaker 3: And laid it all out, and immediately... After.
- 24:18Speaker 5: She did that report, the audio got messed up for
- 24:22Speaker 5: Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreet for a long time.
- 24:25Speaker 3: Their whole mics got messed up. Was that? I was wondering.
- 24:28Speaker 5: Was that because of that or was that something different?
- 24:30Speaker 3: 92, you mess up Herbstreet's mic, 92? I plead the fifth.
- 24:36Speaker 8: Will not say, will not deny what I was doing
- 24:40Speaker 8: up there.
- 24:41Speaker 3: I did not fall asleep, though. Were you running sprints
- 24:44Speaker 3: up there? What was going on up there?
- 24:46Speaker 4: We got a great text earlier that said, so I
- 24:49Speaker 4: heard when Trump moves around at a game, communication is
- 24:52Speaker 4: messed up for the offense and affects the offenses. He
- 24:56Speaker 4: must have been walking laps on Saturday's game. Was that
- 24:59Speaker 4: not just— and listen, I'm not one that believes Texas deserves
- 25:02Speaker 4: to be nitpicked. Some people were trying to drop him.
- 25:05Speaker 4: and put Georgia at number one. Now, if they play
- 25:07Speaker 4: in the SEC title game, who am I picking? Of course,
- 25:09Speaker 4: I'm picking Georgia. They own them, and I think they're
- 25:13Speaker 4: the better team. But I'm not one that says you drop.
- 25:16Speaker 4: Texas beat a top 15 team on the road. Their
- 25:18Speaker 4: defense was amazing. But yeah, Bone, that was an ugly-ass
- 25:22Speaker 4: way to win a game.
- 25:23Speaker 3: Yeah, it certainly was. As ugly as the Panther game.
- 25:27Speaker 5: Tennessee now has Auburn this week, so it never doesn't
- 25:31Speaker 5: get much easier for Tennessee. Never a rest in the
- 25:33Speaker 5: dang SEC. It is easier, but I'm saying it's... Every
- 25:37Speaker 5: week these teams have someone else coming up.
- 25:38Speaker 3: That's tough. No doubt. No doubt. All right, let's see.
- 25:43Speaker 3: We should go to the Oregon thing, man.
- 25:45Speaker 4: The shot on Dante Moore by Desmond Simmons of USC
- 25:49Speaker 4: as Dante Moore was sliding, shot right to.
- 25:52Speaker 3: The freaking head, and it was horrible. It was just
- 25:55Speaker 3: a terrible, horrible hit.
- 25:57Speaker 4: And then, as if the shot to the head wasn't
- 25:59Speaker 4: hard enough, his head goes back, hits the ground, so
- 26:02Speaker 4: it was like a double shot. He has a concussion,
- 26:05Speaker 4: but so far they have not. In an MRI, found
- 26:07Speaker 4: any other things that have happened on that play. As
- 26:11Speaker 4: you can expect, it got ugly after that game, after
- 26:14Speaker 4: that play. I mean, you had teams going, you had both,
- 26:17Speaker 4: you know, players on both sides going after each other.
- 26:20Speaker 3: Oregon players going after Simmons. And then Simmons acting like.
- 26:23Speaker 4: A complete full bone and running around and celebrating it
- 26:27Speaker 4: while Dante Moore is on the ground with a clear
- 26:30Speaker 4: head injury. Like, that doesn't come much.
- 26:32Speaker 3: Stevens, by the way. Stevens. What was I saying? Simmons
- 26:35Speaker 3: is on Texas with the urination.
- 26:36Speaker 5: Stevens.
- 26:37Speaker 3: All right. Desmond Stevens.
- 26:39Speaker 4: Stevens, it doesn't come, whatever his last name is, it
- 26:43Speaker 4: doesn't come much more classless than that after that hit.
- 26:46Speaker 5: No, then there was the smiling and USC was doing the...
- 26:50Speaker 5: The celebration. So they fought, I think, in the tunnel
- 26:54Speaker 5: area as well. Chris Sims had to apologize after the game.
- 26:58Speaker 3: What did he do? I saw him apologize.
- 26:59Speaker 5: I guess he was more focused on football stuff than
- 27:02Speaker 5: the actual health. I didn't hear it. I just heard
- 27:04Speaker 5: the apology. Dante Moore, by the way, appears like he's
- 27:07Speaker 5: a pretty loved kid, whether it be with Oregon or
- 27:11Speaker 5: just in the sport in general. This is a guy
- 27:13Speaker 5: who passed up the NFL draft last year to come back.
- 27:17Speaker 5: to college. You don't always see that in this day
- 27:20Speaker 5: and age. So I think he's got a lot of
- 27:22Speaker 5: respect for that. So I'm hoping that he's all right.
- 27:24Speaker 5: But that was about as bad as it gets, both
- 27:27Speaker 5: in the play and the reaction of USC. Lincoln Riley,
- 27:32Speaker 5: by the way, talking about guys on the hot seat.
- 27:34Speaker 5: It's about over for him, I think, here at some point.
- 27:36Speaker 3: It should have been over yesterday.
- 27:37Speaker 8: How do you suspend that guy for one game?
- 27:39Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing. I think he is suspended for
- 27:42Speaker 4: the aftermath. I don't even think he's suspended for the hit.
- 27:44Speaker 4: The way I understand it, in reading the statement, I
- 27:47Speaker 4: think he's suspended for all the crap afterwards celebrating it.
- 27:50Speaker 8: And, Mac, that's pathetic. We've got to get to a
- 27:52Speaker 8: place in targeting. Like, you had that incident you had
- 27:55Speaker 8: to play in the Florida Ole Miss game. And I
- 27:57Speaker 8: know people get butter when we get the targeting penalty
- 28:00Speaker 8: because it's football and it's a physical game. But those
- 28:03Speaker 8: were two plays that could have been really scary.
- 28:06Speaker 3: Oh, Dante Morris, it was extremely scary.
- 28:09Speaker 8: There needs to be suspensions tagged on. Those guys should
- 28:12Speaker 8: not play for three weeks.
- 28:14Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
- 28:15Speaker 4: Here's the thing about that hit. And JJ Jansen tweeted
- 28:21Speaker 4: this out. I agree with JJ. JJ has been saying,
- 28:23Speaker 4: he said this to us a couple of years ago.
- 28:26Speaker 4: I believe they have to ban the, the leg first slide.
- 28:30Speaker 4: I think the feet first slide, when it comes late
- 28:32Speaker 4: like that, I just think it's dangerous as crap.
- 28:36Speaker 3: And J.J.
- 28:36Speaker 4: Said this to us, Bone, a couple of years ago
- 28:39Speaker 4: about how he thinks it is less dangerous to dive
- 28:41Speaker 4: headfirst for a quarterback. As weird as that sounds, right?
- 28:45Speaker 4: Because they're in such a vulnerable position as they're sliding
- 28:48Speaker 4: with their head up. Like, do I think that dude
- 28:51Speaker 4: could have maybe, like.
- 28:54Speaker 4: Eased up a little bit, but I do want to
- 28:56Speaker 4: acknowledge what JJ saying. I don't like those plays where
- 29:00Speaker 4: guys slide late, man. We saw it last year with
- 29:02Speaker 4: Tyler shock, Tyler, shucks, slid late and ran some hit
- 29:07Speaker 4: them to those problems with that. And what did Chuck say?
- 29:10Speaker 4: Chuck afterwards admitted. I was trying to get a call.
- 29:15Speaker 4: I went down on the ground, got hit and tried
- 29:17Speaker 4: to sell it more. So like, I just, I think
- 29:21Speaker 4: there's a problem with that too, Fetty. I guess the
- 29:24Speaker 4: guy misses two games because he was kicked out of
- 29:26Speaker 4: that game, right? And that was the first half.
- 29:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:28Speaker 4: And then misses the next game. I was more turned
- 29:31Speaker 4: off bone like the way he acted. What kind of
- 29:34Speaker 4: person with any kind of freaking heart does that and
- 29:38Speaker 4: then acts like that? And then to the Lincoln Riley criticism,
- 29:42Speaker 4: lets him stand on the sideline after that?
- 29:44Speaker 3: Oh, it's brutal. You freaking kidding me?
- 29:47Speaker 5: I was wondering yesterday in the NFL, you know, Baker
- 29:50Speaker 5: was down for a while, and he was screaming on
- 29:53Speaker 5: the ground, and the Vikings did that thing where the
- 29:55Speaker 5: defense runs back to the end zone, and they were
- 29:57Speaker 5: dancing in the end zone while Baker was on the
- 30:00Speaker 5: ground screaming.
- 30:00Speaker 3: Yeah, I noticed that too.
- 30:01Speaker 5: I thought to myself, you guys– You guys want to
- 30:04Speaker 5: maybe stop and not do that right now? You don't
- 30:06Speaker 5: know the extent of what's going on. I mean, that's
- 30:08Speaker 5: fresh on. It wasn't quite as bad as maybe the
- 30:10Speaker 5: head hit on Dante Moore, but I was thinking, like,
- 30:13Speaker 5: you got a guy in the ground screaming.
- 30:15Speaker 3: That was at least hand injury and not head.
- 30:17Speaker 9: Right, right.
- 30:18Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 30:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 30:20Speaker 3: But, yeah, I kind of thought about that, too. Like, man,
- 30:22Speaker 3: you're having a good old time. You ran down there.
- 30:24Speaker 3: Now you're dancing. Like, all right, guys.
- 30:26Speaker 4: Oh, my.
- 30:27Speaker 5: I had an observation this weekend of Pat McAfee taking.
- 30:31Speaker 3: Over our wives more and more.
- 30:33Speaker 5: In the Louisville-Wake Forest game, there was a nice punt
- 30:36Speaker 5: in the game, and Tom Hart said, oh, Roddy, there's
- 30:40Speaker 5: a McAfee-type punt.
- 30:43Speaker 3: He called it a McAfee.
- 30:45Speaker 5: And then later on in the afternoon, Greg McIlroy, there
- 30:49Speaker 5: was a nice punt in the Florida Ole Miss game.
- 30:51Speaker 5: He yells out for the brand. A McAfee saying. So
- 30:55Speaker 5: now the announcers are bringing a McAfee on all these punts.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Are they required to do that? I don't know what's
- 30:59Speaker 3: going on here. Are they required?
- 31:01Speaker 4: We can't be calling punts McAfees. Everybody that works with
- 31:04Speaker 4: him kisses his ass so much. That makes it even
- 31:06Speaker 4: more annoying, the way they kiss his rear end.
- 31:08Speaker 3: By the way, I like your haircut, Matt. Thank you.
- 31:11Speaker 4: Johnny Knoxville didn't kiss his rear end, made a direct
- 31:13Speaker 4: joke about his album. Also, I'd like to shout out
- 31:17Speaker 4: one of the coolest names. I know Charlotte fans didn't
- 31:20Speaker 4: like it, but Lunch Winfield. The starting quarterback for Louisiana
- 31:24Speaker 4: that unfortunately beat Charlotte Bone is an amazing name. Charlotte
- 31:27Speaker 4: did not eat their lunch, though, on Saturday. The lunch
- 31:31Speaker 4: ate them. And the biggest shout out of them all, Bone,
- 31:34Speaker 4: goes to Mike Norvell. Not because he actually won a
- 31:36Speaker 4: football game over Central Arkansas, but because of his photo
- 31:40Speaker 4: that got used all weekend long. of him when he
- 31:43Speaker 4: was a player at Central Arkansas.
- 31:45Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
- 31:45Speaker 3: Bro had cornrows.
- 31:48Speaker 4: Bro was rocking the cornrows back at Central Arkansas, and
- 31:52Speaker 4: it looks every bit as absurd as you could imagine.
- 31:55Speaker 3: It would look, Bo.
- 31:56Speaker 4: Hilarious.
- 31:56Speaker 3: Oh, it's glorious, man.
- 31:57Speaker 5: How about we do an update with a man-mag we
- 31:59Speaker 5: call Lunch Marlowe. Fitty Marlowe.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Lunch!
- 32:03Speaker 3: What's up, baby? That's a hell of a nickname, Lunch.
- 32:06Speaker 3: And he was kind of like a bigger quarterback. You
- 32:08Speaker 3: know what I mean? It's kind of like, I see
- 32:10Speaker 3: how he got that nickname. I don't like the name
- 32:11Speaker 3: Fluff Bothwell, though. That's a great name, too, isn't it?
- 32:14Speaker 4: Nope.
- 32:15Speaker 3: How about Mississippi State, Bone? They keep it going, bro.
- 32:17Speaker 3: Don't like him from the previous week.
- 32:19Speaker 4: I know, but you got to like him for beating
- 32:20Speaker 4: Willie P's Mizzou. I mean, what a game. What a
- 32:24Speaker 4: freaking drive at the end of that game.
- 32:27Speaker 3: I love it.
- 32:27Speaker 4: And now they host Alabama? I'm actually surprised game day's
- 32:31Speaker 4: not going there. I think game day. They're trying to
- 32:33Speaker 4: stop the SEC. They took all the criticism to heart
- 32:36Speaker 4: from everybody saying they only go to SEC places.
- 32:39Speaker 3: But anyway, I think that's what they're doing. All right, Fick,
- 32:42Speaker 3: go ahead. What you got? Fitting.
- 32:45Speaker 4: Fitting.
- 32:55Speaker 8: Alright guys, this update once again brought to you by
- 32:57Speaker 8: the H & S Roofing and Gutter Company. Do not
- 33:01Speaker 8: wait for a small problem to become a big one.
- 33:03Speaker 8: If you see an issue with your roof or your gutters,
- 33:06Speaker 8: give them a call. They'll give you a free estimate.
- 33:09Speaker 8: That's what Papa Pags did. Got his roof repaired because
- 33:12Speaker 8: he called 704-334-9934. 704-334-9934.
- 33:13Speaker 4: 704-334-9934.
- 33:13Speaker 3: Two bits of.
- 33:24Speaker 8: NFL news here for you guys. Former Carolina Panther, current
- 33:28Speaker 8: New York football giant, pass rusher Brian Burns, has believed
- 33:32Speaker 8: to have torn his ACL. And Austin Eckler, who was
- 33:36Speaker 8: in town last week for a workout, is set to
- 33:41Speaker 8: reunite with the Commanders. Looks like he's headed to Washington
- 33:45Speaker 8: after being in Carolina last week for a workout.
- 33:47Speaker 3: So the Panthers... Going to have to.
- 33:49Speaker 8: Maybe find another running back if they want to bring
- 33:50Speaker 8: one in after that running back room.
- 33:52Speaker 3: The good thing is the run game looks great right now.
- 33:57Speaker 3: All right. We come back here on the Mac and
- 34:00Speaker 3: Bone Show. It's the wrap-up, man.
- 34:02Speaker 5: We've also got to give you what the schedule is
- 34:04Speaker 5: for the Braves-Phillies series coming up as well. Starts tomorrow
- 34:07Speaker 5: at 2 on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 34:28Speaker 3: On a steal by Pep Biel.
- 34:29Speaker 8: He got uphanded by the goalkeeper.
- 34:31Speaker 5: Nothing given.
- 34:34Speaker 7: How? Pep stole it from the goalkeeper and he got
- 34:41Speaker 7: uphanded and there was no foul.
- 34:43Speaker 3: Now Maxie left side. Maxie dispossessed. How is that not
- 34:47Speaker 3: a foul? Once again, Zinkernagel middle of the park.
- 34:51Speaker 7: Zinkernagel takes a shot.
- 34:52Speaker 3: Saved by Kalina.
- 34:54Speaker 6: Yeah, we're taking another look at this foul committed by Cohen.
- 34:57Speaker 1: He takes out Biel on his back.
- 35:01Speaker 8: That is a foul there.
- 35:02Speaker 7: That is completely unmissed. How is that not a penalty?
- 35:05Speaker 7: And they didn't even look at it. That's just one
- 35:08Speaker 7: that's a stonewall penalty. I have no idea what the
- 35:13Speaker 7: heck is he looking at. He's got the best seat
- 35:16Speaker 7: in the house.
- 35:17Speaker 3: And now Pep is knocked out by Mbokazi.
- 35:20Speaker 6: What do you have to see?
- 35:22Speaker 2: Oh, man.
- 35:25Speaker 6: The only call he's gotten right is the offside today.
- 35:28Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
- 35:28Speaker 4: P-Man, I was listening to that one the other night.
- 35:31Speaker 3: Had that. I had the four. What do you call it?
- 35:35Speaker 3: Four pack. Why can I never remember what they call this? Multi-view. Multi-view.
- 35:38Speaker 3: The thing I'd steal from you. You're the man. Not
- 35:40Speaker 3: the four pack.
- 35:41Speaker 5: You're not stealing my four pack.
- 35:43Speaker 3: That's a multi-view. My nose, you got a six-pack. Them abs, baby.
- 35:47Speaker 3: The multi-view, Boney, I had all four college football games.
- 35:52Speaker 4: I had the FC game, a frustrating 1-0 loss to
- 35:55Speaker 4: Chicago on the other TV. And I would turn the
- 35:59Speaker 4: sound up on Willie sometimes, you know, and I just
- 36:03Speaker 4: happened to be listening when Pat Pio clearly got fouled
- 36:07Speaker 4: by the goalkeeper with nothing.
- 36:09Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, their goal, there was a handball.
- 36:11Speaker 3: The ball bounced the guy's arm.
- 36:12Speaker 4: Guy got given an assist for a ball off his
- 36:16Speaker 4: lower arm. It's like, are you kidding me? That's supposed
- 36:19Speaker 4: to be a disallowed goal. But anyway, P-Man, you speak
- 36:22Speaker 4: for all of us, baby. Go get them.
- 36:23Speaker 5: You're not going to walk into the bank as a
- 36:25Speaker 5: referee and come out unscathed from Willie P.
- 36:27Speaker 3: It's not going to happen.
- 36:28Speaker 4: The best part is because the referee's name is Chris Penso.
- 36:32Speaker 4: His wife, Tori Penso, also referees in the MLS. My
- 36:35Speaker 4: favorite part is when Willie and Anna started talking about,
- 36:38Speaker 4: we like her so much better than you. She is
- 36:43Speaker 4: so much better of a referee.
- 36:45Speaker 3: Than you are.
- 36:46Speaker 5: I have a question about referees in general, whether it
- 36:50Speaker 5: be the high school level or college or pro, whatever.
- 36:54Speaker 5: Why does anyone ever want to do that?
- 36:57Speaker 3: That's a great question.
- 36:59Speaker 5: I always think it's really a thankless job. No one
- 37:04Speaker 5: ever leaves a game and says, boy, those referees are
- 37:06Speaker 5: really tremendous. All you do is get berated either by
- 37:10Speaker 5: the people playing the sport, the coaches, the fans. Like,
- 37:13Speaker 5: what's the upside? Especially, like, at the high school level,
- 37:17Speaker 5: like those high school referees. Yeah.
- 37:18Speaker 3: What do you get out of it? You can't be
- 37:20Speaker 3: making a lot of money to do that. Yeah. Why
- 37:22Speaker 3: do you want to put yourself through that? I've had
- 37:23Speaker 3: the same thought, too, Fitty. Like, and I.
- 37:27Speaker 4: Like, in fairness to them, they are humans. And I've
- 37:30Speaker 4: thought that, like, some of you are horrible at your job.
- 37:32Speaker 4: I must scream about you. But, yeah, what do you
- 37:35Speaker 4: get out of it that makes it worth it? Because
- 37:37Speaker 4: I would want no part of that job.
- 37:39Speaker 3: If you're a referee of any sort, let us know.
- 37:42Speaker 6: 704-5796.
- 37:42Speaker 3: I bet you get.
- 37:43Speaker 5: A bunch of high school refs out there. Joe Bruno
- 37:46Speaker 5: does umpiring. TV's Joe Bruno umpires with a league. But
- 37:50Speaker 5: it might not be the same level. Oh, those parents.
- 37:52Speaker 5: I've seen those parents out there. T-ball coaches pitch going
- 37:55Speaker 5: off on the umps.
- 37:56Speaker 3: I don't know if I put myself through that.
- 37:58Speaker 4: I guess it's people that, like, hey, I want to
- 38:00Speaker 4: still be involved in sports. You know, kind of why
- 38:02Speaker 4: we're in this. But sitting here and criticizing everybody on
- 38:05Speaker 4: radio sounds a lot better than getting ripped as a referee.
- 38:08Speaker 5: I guess if you're married, you'd rather be yelled at
- 38:10Speaker 5: by someone besides your wife.
- 38:11Speaker 4: Maybe you just want to get out of the house
- 38:12Speaker 4: and let somebody else yell at you. I don't have
- 38:13Speaker 4: to go home and sleep with him. It's something I've thought.
- 38:15Speaker 8: About doing, like, as a way to make extra money.
- 38:18Speaker 8: My dad was an umpire, so I was on a
- 38:20Speaker 8: ball field six days a week growing up because my
- 38:22Speaker 8: dad would umpire, like, Little League, like, where I played. Also,
- 38:25Speaker 8: we do some adult softball leagues.
- 38:29Speaker 3: You've got the look of a basketball ref. I don't
- 38:32Speaker 3: have the conditioning for it, though. Baseball. Baseball will be yours.
- 38:35Speaker 3: Just stand there, baby.
- 38:36Speaker 8: I did it for a little bit. I umpired one
- 38:40Speaker 8: season with my dad. I missed a call, Mac, at
- 38:46Speaker 8: first base. This kid dropped the ball. I rolled to
- 38:48Speaker 8: the fence and I called this kid out. I made
- 38:51Speaker 8: a premature call. This coach comes walking down. He spits
- 38:54Speaker 8: his sunflower seeds at me, and he goes, son, I
- 38:57Speaker 8: want you to know, that's the biggest bleep call I've
- 39:00Speaker 8: ever seen in my life.
- 39:01Speaker 3: And he's been a coach in baseball like 25, 30 years.
- 39:05Speaker 3: What'd you say? Yeah, probably was. I told my dad
- 39:07Speaker 3: after that, I said, dad, I'm done. It's funny, Mac Jr.
- 39:12Speaker 4: my son Aiden, he started making some money by refereeing
- 39:16Speaker 4: at the rec fields in Indian Trail. And he got
- 39:19Speaker 4: yelled at by both coaching staffs the first game. And
- 39:22Speaker 4: the second game, the parents from Waxall started yelling at him.
- 39:26Speaker 4: He finished the season, but when it came time for
- 39:28Speaker 4: next year, I said, you want to ref to make
- 39:29Speaker 4: some money?
- 39:30Speaker 3: He said, no, I want to get a real job.
- 39:31Speaker 3: He went over and got the job at Jets pizza.
- 39:33Speaker 4: He said, he said, I actually want to go get
- 39:35Speaker 4: a real job and work like five, six hour shifts
- 39:37Speaker 4: rather than have people yell at me.
- 39:39Speaker 2: Oh my God.
- 39:40Speaker 5: I remember when I was 11 years old, my best
- 39:42Speaker 5: friend's dad, uh, was our, was our coach. And he,
- 39:46Speaker 5: in the tournament, just berated this teenage referee, and the
- 39:50Speaker 5: kid quit during the game. It went up there and
- 39:53Speaker 5: sat in the woods and wouldn't come out.
- 39:54Speaker 2: Oh, no.
- 39:55Speaker 3: You ruined this poor kid's life. They had to talk
- 39:58Speaker 3: him out of the woods.
- 40:00Speaker 4: Our guy Turd Ferguson says his brother does it. You
- 40:02Speaker 4: get paid well, college and above. Yeah, maybe it's the
- 40:05Speaker 4: money and it's sports.
- 40:06Speaker 3: But I'm with you. I can't imagine. Maybe I'm too
- 40:09Speaker 3: sensitive to do that. You're going to have to pay
- 40:10Speaker 3: me a lot of money to get yelled at by
- 40:12Speaker 3: Willie P like that. Oh, my gosh.
- 40:14Speaker 5: All right, let's read some of these texts here. This
- 40:19Speaker 5: little guy says Phinney wouldn't be able to see the referee.
- 40:22Speaker 3: That's a valid point. First time he's ever made a
- 40:25Speaker 3: cellular point in his life, bagel guy.
- 40:27Speaker 4: Do you see him as home plate umpire? I can't
- 40:29Speaker 4: see over that crouching catcher.
- 40:31Speaker 8: The bigger issue, Matt, is that I wouldn't want to
- 40:32Speaker 8: get hit with the ball. I know they wear protective
- 40:34Speaker 8: gear and everything.
- 40:35Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, that does look good. But those guys take
- 40:37Speaker 3: a beat. I know, dude.
- 40:38Speaker 5: That does look a little dicey. I can see Flounder
- 40:40Speaker 5: being an umpire, by the way, just cussing people out.
- 40:42Speaker 4: Oh, man.
- 40:43Speaker 8: Did you mention that chest protector over Flounder's pouch?
- 40:46Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Flounder's got an umpire-like body. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
- 40:52Speaker 4: Poppycock oh gosh all right so anyway let's set up
- 40:55Speaker 4: what's going on tonight you've got a very interesting monday
- 40:58Speaker 4: night game although no caleb williams seems like it'll be
- 41:00Speaker 4: three or four weeks for caleb williams um but uh
- 41:03Speaker 4: you got bears eagles tonight and as you were saying
- 41:06Speaker 4: with the braves we already got multiple braves fans texting
- 41:08Speaker 4: in that they're pissed off they had to get to
- 41:10Speaker 4: two o'clock in the afternoon game tuesday and wednesday against
- 41:13Speaker 4: the phillies.
- 41:15Speaker 5: I guess because the padres are hosting the cubs right
- 41:17Speaker 5: on the west coast yeah they have to get the
- 41:19Speaker 5: afternoon slot and you know they're Yankees back are going
- 41:22Speaker 5: to get the primetime spot.
- 41:24Speaker 3: You got to lock that in, man. Yankees, Red Sox.
- 41:26Speaker 3: They're not putting that at two in the afternoon.
- 41:28Speaker 4: Myron is mad that his Cubs are put on a
- 41:32Speaker 4: streaming service. He said, we're one of the most beloved
- 41:34Speaker 4: teams in America and we're on a damn streaming service.
- 41:38Speaker 3: Looks like you might want to start peacocking there, Myron.
- 41:40Speaker 5: Two of the series are on NBC and two are
- 41:42Speaker 5: on Peacock. So the late night one's on. They're not
- 41:45Speaker 5: going to take off NBC late night 10 o'clock programming
- 41:47Speaker 5: for that.
- 41:48Speaker 4: My favorite texter of the day, Marky Baller, that said, Fetty,
- 41:53Speaker 4: who you calling an analytics nerd? I hope your fake
- 41:56Speaker 4: girlfriend dumps you.
- 42:00Speaker 3: Thanks.
- 42:00Speaker 5: This texter says he's a new referee in the area.
- 42:02Speaker 5: Money's instant, by the way. And pretty good, depending on
- 42:05Speaker 5: how many games. Plus, it's for the love of the game.
- 42:09Speaker 5: I think it's the love of the money there, sir. Yeah,
- 42:12Speaker 5: I'd love the game, but I don't like being berated.
- 42:14Speaker 5: Bone nailed it. I'm married.
- 42:15Speaker 4: I could just stay home and get berated. Or do
- 42:18Speaker 4: you think it's married guys that are like, eh, I.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Do it for free. I do it for free at
- 42:23Speaker 3: the house. Let me get out of here.
- 42:24Speaker 4: Let someone yell at me. This dude says, y'all are
- 42:28Speaker 4: soft batch. As an umpire, I yell right back at
- 42:31Speaker 4: those damn coaches. Are you doing, baby? I don't have the,
- 42:36Speaker 4: I don't know. I just like kind of yelling into
- 42:38Speaker 4: the radio ether. I am soft.
- 42:39Speaker 3: It's kind of more my thing. I don't deny I'm
- 42:41Speaker 3: soft batch.
- 42:42Speaker 4: We've got a texter that is a South Carolina and
- 42:44Speaker 4: NC State fan. and says, instead of a pumped or
- 42:48Speaker 4: pissed segment, I need a yeah, that figures segment. That
- 42:51Speaker 4: is a miserable existence, sir, and I know you know this.
- 42:54Speaker 4: How does anyone survive mentally and emotionally, Bone, rooting for
- 42:57Speaker 4: those two programs?
- 42:58Speaker 3: Alcohol. I don't know. That's got to be the answer. Oh,
- 43:03Speaker 3: my gosh. All right.
- 43:05Speaker 4: Someone texted in, dear Lord, is this the same guy?
- 43:07Speaker 4: Dear Lord, why am I tethered to such mediocrity? I
- 43:11Speaker 4: think that's the same guy. All right, we got to
- 43:12Speaker 4: get out of here, y'all. Referees, keep fighting a good fight, baby.
- 43:15Speaker 4: We don't understand it, but keep fighting a good fight
- 43:18Speaker 4: because someone needs to referee the game. Willie P, way
- 43:21Speaker 4: to get that fool from Saturday night, though. Good work
- 43:23Speaker 4: out of the fit dog today, the bone man. I'm
- 43:26Speaker 4: sure we'll be talking all about the Panthers O-line, the
- 43:30Speaker 4: damn Panthers offense, the Panthers injuries.
- 43:32Speaker 3: Tomorrow on the show. Enjoy your Monday if you can.
- 43:35Speaker 4: They're going to be venting all day here on WFNZ,
- 43:38Speaker 4: including Colin Hoggard next, Charlotte Sports Today.
