• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Go on very much.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just seemed just by nature of the position, he
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: catches it when they throw it to him, he does
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the right things. He's where he's supposed to be when
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: he's supposed to be there. Those things go so far
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: in the quarterback room first and foremost the guys talk
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: about it. They're looking to throw them the ball. That's a
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: really good thing. Love where just seems at again, Just
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: continue to push him on the special teams front too,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: because all of our guys are gonna be asked to
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: help in different ways. But I'm really pleased where he's
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: at right now, and you just got to continue to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: take every day, just take one more step.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: A little love from coach Canalis for one of the
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: camp breakout stars. Just seem reed. Now we're just two
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: weeks into camp or I don't want to start. You know,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: he's only going to Canton Bone to pay a play
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: a football game. I don't want to get him fitted
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: for a gold jacket just yet. But it does make
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: you wonder we brazzle out for the season. Reid had
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: another big diving touchdown catch yesterday. It does make you
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: wonder could he possibly be ready for the fifty three
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: man roster, and that's what we're getting ready to talk
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: about too. He got some side, he's got some size
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: six yeah, and catches everything that some callus always talks aft.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: I just catches everything that has thrown his way. So
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I think he could be in the mix. And that's
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: what we're getting ready to talk about. Two weeks into camp,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: and I realized we're probably about ready to overreact Bone
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: by making conclusions about two weeks in the camp. But
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: two weeks into camp, what are you feeling good about?
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Is there anything that you feel even better about than
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: when we started camp two weeks ago? And what are
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: you starting to worry about? And it probably involves injuries obviously,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: but what are the positions? What are the areas where
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: you're like, we're good there, and what are the areas
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: that you sweat like fit Marlowe's head at the stadium
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: During your HIE broadcast, we want to talk about that.
• 2:06

  Speaker 3: that was the creepiest thing I've ever heard Bones say,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Oh be sure about that? It's up there? What was creepy?
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: It's up there. It's definitely offs a lot worse. All right,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: let's talk about confidence and let's talk about worries. Bone.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: As we sit here ready to play the first preseason
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: game two weeks into camp, is there anything that you
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: feel the camp has camp raised your confidence in any
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: area of this team.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling really good about Bryce right now. Yes, Bryce
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: has been sharp. I'm not knock on wood here. Has
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Bryce had really a bad day at all? And we
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: had a day where we analyze Bryce's in a while.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: This was I feel like Bryce has been good throughout
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: this extended camp.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I feel really good about his confidence. All right. That
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: was honestly the first thing I wrote down. And I
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: can only imagine Bone the texts that are gonna come in.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: You guys, that's tote waits I camp. I't talking about
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: practice all that stuff, But I just I think you
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: and I both I think we both felt good about
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Bryce going into the season, that there's gonna be another
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: jump and you and Fittie were talking Pro Bowls and
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. I think it's just validated, Like, you
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: know what, it's the third year in this system, he's
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: growing in confidence. We had that sit down with him
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: at camp last week and it's like, oh, man, he's
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: he's confident, Like you could just feel he's he's just
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: losing confidence. He's more comfortable. And then you start either
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: the practices were at Bone and we see it, or
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: you start reading some of the descriptions of the dimes
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: he's dropping, and I just it just kind of reinforces
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: like this dude is making another jump. Man. I think
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I'm with you on that. How about how about uh,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: secondary depth? Mac.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: We know that the front line guys are good, but
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: we we have Corey Thorton making plays. We know Will
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Lee's made plays. Ransom not talked about a lot, He's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: been pretty solid. There's there's a lot of the backup
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: guys or guys that will play, whether it be Nickel,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: whatever it may be. I feel like the secondary depth
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: right now, it feel pretty good.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: It sEH. I was thinking definitely corner depth, like those
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: two guys right there, and you do have Shawl Smith Wade.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Although Jimmy Horn ran so far past hm Bone. He
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: was in the eight to eight area code and and
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Smith Wade was back into seven oh four by the
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: time he caught the ball. That was oh but that
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: was one rep. One Rep cesw I ain't going to
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: get too mad or one rep. But anyway, Yes, the
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Thornton will Lee combination, it's kind of like I trust
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: him and I feel like we got two young corners,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: two veteran corners. I feel really good about that. Now.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Safety is interesting because I think safety's a little unknown
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Nick Scott. I stand up for Nick Scott boone because
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I think people act like he was really bad last year,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: and I thought he improved last year, but it still
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: is He's still kind of just you know, all right there.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: You know. I do wonder though, like if Ransom had
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: to play every down in that spot, like is he
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: capable of roving back? There is the key Wheatley, is
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: he capable of doing? I do worry a little bit
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: about the safety's opposite Merrick, you know a little bit.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I still think they need to add maybe a young
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: stud safety next year. But we had a long wining.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I do go.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I have bought long term stock in Wheatly though it
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: may take a little bit of time, but I think
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: that guy with his his arm, light, his his his side.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I think Wheatley's going to be a player. May take
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: a little time, but I'm gonna hold on to my
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: wheely stock for a while.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: What do you think about Brooks? I like, is everybody
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: out there growing? Like with each practice and each practice
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: you read, oh man, big run, big play, he went
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: up and mows somebody down. The lost a corner down
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: the sideline, like between his receiving skills and and and
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: and that element between the fact that, oh man, big plant,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: big cut and go. It's just I don't know. I
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: know he hasn't taken any hits yet. He will not
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: play tomorrow night. I just I know it's dangerous buying
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: into practice, but I think he's going. I don't know.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I don't want to. Jans the poor guy, knock on wood.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Can you starting to feel frisky about Jonathan Brooks? Like
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: this dude is going to be a factor. Man, I
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: was gonna tell you just dance around it, but right
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: do it. I didn't guarantee health, though I will never do.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: That's going to.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Take a while to not get nervous within a while
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: he's going to be a MAC a little bit of
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: time before we feel comfortable when he takes a hit
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: and he's on the ground, Oh my god, Brooks. Brooks
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: got tackled. But eventually we'll get over that. But it's
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: gonna take a little bit of in game hits before
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: our our trepidation goes away.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Uh, Fitty, where are you are you? Why you sighing?
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: You don't want me talk talking about Jonathan Brooks? Are
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: you afraid? Yeah? I don't want you to, Matt curse
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: this poor guy. I know he doesn't need it. He's
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: already he's battling back from two a cls. He does
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: not need me, does he. But I was just simply
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: trying to say, I think I'm starting to grow in confidence, man.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: But to Bone's point, he's got to take hits. You know.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: I was talking about this with KB when we were
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: waiting to interview him the other day over at the stadium.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Mac it might take all year before we can watch
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: him and not worry every time he gets hit. If
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: he's gonna get hurt and and and that's not fair
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: to him because he didn't ask for the injuries. That's
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: just the nature of few acls and just how freaking
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: important he is to the softfense. Oh yeah, a factor
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: because back if something happens and god forbid, he gets
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: hurt again, I don't know if the softfense can take.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: That next step.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: And that's a that's an unfair burden for a guy
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: that's played less than ten snaps in this league.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: But what he brings we don't really have. I mean, Etn,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I know he had a nice run the other night
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: at fan Fest, but like what he brings out of
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: the backfield, big playability is different, man, It's it's different.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: But anyway, you've also got a chan back there as well.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: With Etn. You go bones like, do we have two guys? Now?
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: The two guys? Oh yeah, I called him Etn my bad,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: my bad Freeling is another guy. I know it's been
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: two weeks, but I sat here and downgraded the wind
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: total bone because I'm like, oh my god, we got
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: to throw him to the wolves. Is he ready to
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: play early in the season? And lo and behold what
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: id vashta I say? Yesterday? He is holding his own
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: against a thirty million dollar edge rusher. And I gotta
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: be honest with you, I would have thought Phillips would
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: be giving him the business, given him that work, and
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: it has not been that way. It has been a
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: trade off. I think the first practice that Freeling was
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: at right tackle, the folks the media is there, so
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: whoa this is? They give it to him. But ever
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: since then it hasn't been like that. And the offense
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Bryce has had time to throw and it's not you know,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: we've been there. We haven't seen Phillips destroying them. Even
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: in the one on ones the other day, it's like
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: those are good reps by the Rooks. So I'm starting
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: to grow in confidence in Freeling bone that maybe I
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: know you're shocked by this. Maybe I overreacted a little
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: bit to believe that you would do that.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I know it's been said a lot, but there is
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: definitely Jordan Gross vibes to Freeling, a guy that gets
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: in there early and next thing you know, it's ten
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: twelve years and he's still in there. Right. There is
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: very much that vibe with Freeling that he could have
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a Jordan Gross like career.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right down to the being moved over to right
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: tackle to start his rookie season, remember that was the
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Gross thing. And eventually find his way back to the left.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I would guess probably the same thing would happen with
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Freeling eventually as well. So that comp man A lot
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: of people are making that comp So what are this
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: texter says, two weeks of camp and they're the seventy
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: two dolphins. Cut me a break. They don't have any flalls,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: do they? Well, sir, hold your horses, sir, hold your horses. Now,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: clearly they don't have many bo All right, many? What
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: are Because I do want to talk about, like worries
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: is there as camp plays out? Obviously we've got we've
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: been hit by injuries. What worries you the most right now? Uh?
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Certainly not really comfortable with the backup quarterback spot. That's
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: something that I'm sure a lot of teams worry about
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: with this league. But I don't really feel comfortable Andy Dalton.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I thought there for a little bit of time he
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: could at least hold it down for a period of time,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a short period of time at that point in his career.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett, though, if he's got to get.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: In there and start, I've got concerns about the guys
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: behind Brice concern Yeah. Now, when you're some quarterbacks, you
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: think okay, if if he's got to play a couple
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: of weeks, well maybe they can.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: They can make something out of that. Kenny Pikett, I don't.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know about that, even though he's a super
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Bowl champion, Bow's super Bowl champion. As a clipboard holder, yeah, don't. Necessarily,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna blow smoke up y'all's glutes and act
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: like I think we have some sort of top ten
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: backup quarterback. I think that is fair. I also think
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Bone that I look at depth on the defensive front,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: the edge depth, you lose scrting, and now everybody moves up.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Everybody's got to play more. And it's like, I like
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Pat Jones, I want to believe in prince Lye. He's
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: got to show it to us. But man, he's got
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: ability those guys a little bit because I was so
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: fired up Bone about the scot and Phillips combo. And
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: then there's also that spot we talked about in the
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: first hour. Lebrian Ray surprised everybody and retired, and I
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: hope it's not health related. I hope he's okay. But
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Wharton's out right now. Robinson got let go that three
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: four defensive end spot. You basically have the two Browns,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: and then after that it's like, you know, you start
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: to get to Jared Harrison Hunt. Now you start to
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: get to rookie Aaron hall Out, a duke. So I
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: do think there's a little bit of concerns on the
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: D line. Yeah, there's a front a little bit. There's
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: a lot of just depth. Really, you know, a lot
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: of guys have to step up and play above what
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: we thought, so it could happen. But there's a lot
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: of unknowns up there right now. So I get that
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: one oh line depth to bony, like specifically tackle depth. Now,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I know Brady Christiensen, maybe they can use him, but
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: like we're down to the point where Stone Forsyth, who
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: gave up eleven sacks last year, is one injury away
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: from playing. Previously we had a buffer right to get
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: him in there. Now, maybe Brady Christiansen would end up
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: being the swing tackle, but I think tackle debt. But
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: it's like if we're we're if our big worries bone
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: to start training camp, our depth, that's a sign of
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: growth for this team because you go back bone to
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Frank right to the Matt Rule era. Our concerns were
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: the frontline guys and like, you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: So I do think this does the fact that I'm
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: stressing out over depth is a sign of progress. I think.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Has Damien Lewis still been out? Yeah, calf injury, he's
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: still out and he concerns with with him there on that,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I don't think. So we still got a ways to go.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: We still have five weeks till we play. You know
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: who was who was asking that on Twitter? Though, Edgar
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Stole Mengole Junior. He was trying to I see what
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: you're trying to do, trying to get us all worked up. Man.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I'm staying strong because I do think this coaching staff
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: bone this time of year. I think with the little injuries,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I think they're very cautious, you know, so I think
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: that I think they're just being cautious with him. How
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: about the fact the big fellow made the top ten
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: list of guards on PFF. He's usually so underrated Bone,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I think he was like six or seven on there,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: six six, How about that? Man, it's an underrated dude
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: getting a little bit of love. Dlu.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Speaking of underrated, We're gonna do some college football coaches
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: poll underrated, overrated. It came out yesterday. We're gonna tell
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you what we think. One of the teams that maybe
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: underrated got a massive gift yesterday roster wise.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: We'll explain that. And is there a.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Team in the Palmetto State lit Overrated? Sports Radio ninety
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: two seven WFNZ.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ Mac and Bone with
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: you got a fun topic coming up? At seven five,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: the Akron Zips announced Bone that they will choose a
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: season ticket holder to design their first drive when they
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: play Robert Morris early in the college football all season.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: That got me to thinking, how many of us Panther
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: fans think we could call plays better than the coaches?
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Sometimes we will ask them. I love that topic. We
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: ask the audience at seven forty five, what plays are
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: you calling in a first drive? If you can design
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: a Panther first drive, what are you calling? That's awesome?
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: I did see a tweeted it said great concept for Akron.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Totally disrespectful to Robert Morris. Oh that's bulletin boar material
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: right there, baby, That is one hundred percent BULLETI bore,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: but smoke told me in a text last night. Western
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Carolina did this one time. They let a fan call
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: one play or something good they and he tells me
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: it got a first down, but he's still mad about
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: it because he said, we're better than that that is
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: beneath the Western Carolina Catamounts and apparently it wasn't, Oh
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: my god anyway. So we'll have some fun with that.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: What kind of plays you calling if you're running a
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Panthers drive before we get to that, before we get
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: this college football thing, because we're about ready to tear
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: apart this coaches poll came out yesterday. We'll let you
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: know notable teams who's where, and then we'll start calling
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: some of y'all's teams overrated and underrated, as if we
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: know exactly what's going to happen. But I do want
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: to mention bone that subject. That topic really brought out
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: some negativity and a few of detection not a a
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: lot of you guys were chiming in with things you're
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: positive about. We've got our guy find more deodorant that
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: swears you don't need to wear Deodorant's takes that's the
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: way he lives. And he said that our safety name merit.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: I believe he means merrig is overrated and overhyped. He
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: went off on a like twelve text barrage, what's wrong
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: with our.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Man, overpaid, worse safety in the league is concrete feet.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I think our guy watched him in that highlight against
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Horn Junior, which didn't really take that seriously because
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's matched up against these smaller slat
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: wideouts in the games.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: No, he's nickel. He's the big nickel who played the
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: tight ends or the bigger receivers.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: He got toasted on that, but I thought that was
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: more of a on Jimmy Horn just being a little
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: fast dude than Maryrick being a Probably.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: I know this. I was out of practice and I
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: saw him in a one on one completely blanket Jimmy
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Horn too, to the point where I was like, man,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Jimmy Horn, you're supposed to be You're supposed to like,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: you're supposed to be able to handle him in the string.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Find more DoD Maybe that's there's certain players on the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: team that we don't have to stress about. We don't
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: have to worry about.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Merrick, all right. I think he's fine. Yeah, that's a strong,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: that's a strong, true, not perfect. I mean he's not perfect. Obviously,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: some of the coverage areas bone against certain matchups you
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: know are going to be his weaker part of his
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: game in the box, he's an absolute beast. But yeah,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I don't think we need to stress out about him.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: We had about four people all say the same thing
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: when I said that training camp has made me feel
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: more comfortable with Monroe Freeling starting right away, and four
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: people said, is that a good sign for Monroe Freeling
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: or a bad sign? And for Jalen Phillips.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Hm, I think it's a great sign for I don't
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: worry about Phillips either. I Phillips when the game start,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: he'll be fine. Freeling has been the unknown of that matchup.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: So that's much more of an indictment on free Went
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: playing above what he where we thought he would be
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: at this.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Point in Phillips playing down. Phillips is a known commodity. Now, listen,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: he's he's had an injury bug, right, so he's got
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: to stay healthy for us. But he's a known commodity.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: He's had a few seventy pressure seasons. Does he finish
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: with sacks you know as much as you would likely
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: probably not, But this dude is has a has a
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: track record of playing great against the run and getting
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: pressure and disrupting team. So again I like Monroe's unknown
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: to your point there. All right, let's talk about the
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: top twenty five. Well, there'll be more negative panther texts coming.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: We can deal with that later on in the show
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: seven oh four or five six ten. Let's now get
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: negative about some overrated college football teams or underrated full
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: disclosure bone. Last year I had Clemson winning the national
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: championship this time of the year. Last year and full disclosure,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: I called Michigan overrated when the first Coaches Poll came
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: out the year they won the national title.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: So the full disclosure, hi, mac ov Travis. And last
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: year I had Penn State playing clubs.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: In for the national championship. All right, So now that
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: we got that all the way, let's give it a
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: shot again. Let's do the twenty twenty sixth edition of
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: the Coaches Poll is out. Who do we find over
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: an underrated Let's just start with telling you Ohio State
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: is number one in the Coaches Poll. Number two is Oregon.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: They are the top two teams in the Coaches Poll.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: I guess how to pull the whole thing up here.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: There's eight Big ten teams, nine SEC teams, three ACC
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: teams in this coaches poll. Let's see, this is good
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: stuff in the bone. I'm very prepared for this right now.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: All here we go so Ohio State, Oregon won two,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Georgia three, Texas four, Notre Dame five, Indiana six, Miami seven,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Texas A and M eight, Oklahoma nine, Ole, miss is ten.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Then you go Alabama eleven, Texas Tech twelve, LSU thirteen,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: USC fourteen, fifteen is BYU, Michigan sixteen, Penn State is seventeen,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Tennessee's eighteen, Washington nineteen, and then the second ACC school,
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: SMU is at twenty. The final five are Utah, Iowa.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Clemson is at twenty three. I honestly did not think
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: that we would see them ranked. They're at twenty three,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Houston's at twenty four, and Miszou shout out p Man,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: the Missou grad. He's coming on at a twenty five.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Talk about Charlotte FC three. No win. But anyway, Missoo's
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: at number twenty five. That is lot. I didn't know
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: if I should do all twenty five. I don't know
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: if that's too much. But it is I've done this before.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: I know what happened. You started to read a couple
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: and then you realized, oh, I'm reading all this. I committed.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I felt like I had to commit. So who strikes
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: you as what should we do first? Bone, Let's let's
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: op rat it underrated? Which one you want to jump into? Well,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: this is kind of a combo of both. Let's start
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: towards the top of that top ten area because we
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: went through this yesterday. Look, Georgia and Texas are teams
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: that I view as seven or eight that are of
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: national title contenders. But I think the three teams behind
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: them should be above them in the rankings to start
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: the year. Notre Dame, Indiana, Miami, whatever order you want
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: to put them in, I would slide them back into
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: the top five. Georgia and Texas I think I would
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame is top five, but i'd move them ahead
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: of Georgia and Texas. I would reverse that a little
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: bit there. So who are you saying it's underrated Notre Dame?
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Just for the polls itself, I think Notre Dame, Well,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame is top five already, but move them up
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: a spot or two, Indiana should be top five, and
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: sou should. Miami, Georgia and Texas moved down if you spot.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: I tend to agree not to turn this into group
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: think radio here, but we talked about this yesterday. I
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: believe the five best teams in the country, in no
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: particular order or Ohio State, Oregon, Notre Dame, Indiana, Miami.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: I believe you go five deep before you get to
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: an SEC team. Listen, y'all can clip this SEC fans.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Like I said last year, I thought Clemson was winning
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: it all, so I may eat those words, bony, but
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I like all five of those teams more. Miami at
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: seven is to me completely underrating that team. I mean,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: look at what this offense. Team Miami over Texas to
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: start the season big time, big time. I may pick
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Miami to win the damn national title when we do
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: our predictions here in a few weeks before the season.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: I think they're that good bone you look at that offense.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: They're gonna be more explosive on offense than last year.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Mensa is an upgrade over Beck, who we will see
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: tomorrow night. Apparently we could see like thirty passes of
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Carson Beck tomorrow night. But anyway, let me move back along.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Miles kay Toni is gonna be absolutely superstar in the
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: second year. He was great in his first year. Cooper
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: bar Kae, one thousand yard receiver from Duke who already
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: knows how to play with Mensa, that running back corp.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: They go three deep with studs, including Fletcher. I know
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: they lost guys on both lines, but I'm not worried
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: about the O line because that's Crysta Ball's bag. I
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: just they got a ton backbone in the secondary. I
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: just I think Miami honestly is one of the three
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: best teams in the damn country, and I think Notre
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Dame's gonna I think Not Dames one of the three
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: best teams in the country. So I definitely think they're underrated,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: and are we right? I think November seventh will be
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: one verse two. I think that'll be Notre Dame Miami
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: and that whoever loses that game, I think that may
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: be their only loss. And the regulation I could see
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: that in Indiana. What are we doing? Have we not
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: learned our lesson? You're putting Indiana at six. You're putting
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Indiana the third team in their own conference. What are
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: we doing. I mean, they've got a ton back, they
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: had a great transfer portals.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: And the big news yesterday that I t to Ridiana
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: steven their tackles for a lost leader because of the
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: NCAA fifth year rule is now back and we'll play
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: for the Hooters this year. Yeah, that's an unexpected, unexpected
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: August gift for a team that honestly would be good
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: without them.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Dude had almost twenty tackles for loss last year. All right,
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: So let's so that's some of our thoughts. You guys
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: chime in Buckeye Dave says, Ohio State's gone undefeated. Of course,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: of course we feel like you have said that on
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: the record.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: You have mosey on down the top ten there to
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the Texas A and M Oklahoma area. I think A
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: and M mac overrated, while A and M overrated, Oklahoma underrated,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: and so is LSU. I would have Oklahoma and LSU
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: both above Texas A and M.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, TEXA A and M.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe not by a lot, but I would. I would
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: do Oklahoma should be I think at least ahead of
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: A and M.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Tex Sam getting all this hype last year, Bone they
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: played seven teams seven of their wins were against teams
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: who had losing record or whose coaches got fired, Like, yeah,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: they beat Notre Dame, but after that, Bone, do look
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: at the rest of them. There's not a ton there.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: And the way they finished the season, did they get exposed?
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: They were lucky to get the win against South Carolina,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: for God's sake. So yeah, I kind of feel like
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: they're being a little overrated. LSU I have is underrated
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: as well. Lane Kiffin's got a ton of talent. He
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: still is the portal king, y'all. He brought talent with
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: him from Ole Miss. He's got a talented quarterback in Levitt.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: His offensive system Bone makes quarterbacks better than they are,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: So I expect Levitt, if he's healthy, to play the
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: best football he's played so thirteen. I honestly, I know
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: people hate him. I know he's an unlikable lout, but
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: I feel like he's there underrated. Now let's talk about
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: the ACC teams here Bone Miami seven. We already said
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: we agree they're underrated. I don't know how y'all feel
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: about that. ACC fans, But then you got to go
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: all the way to twenty to get to SMU. You
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: got to go to twenty three to get to Clemson. No,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Louisville to me is underrated. Louisville brings the Brown Boys
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: back at running back, They've got talent outside at receiver.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: I expect the defense would good. Jeff brohms a great coach.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: They've got an Ohio State like a highly recruited Ohio
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: State kit as their starter at quarterback. So Louisville to
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: me like Louisville not being in the top twenty five
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: and Missoo's in the top twenty five with that brutal schedule,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Missoo's gonna play and all they lost.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Clemson, Clempson, Missouri, I would not have them top
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: twenty five.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: You're Clemson overras overrated. I think Loo get boomed. Louisville
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: deserves to be ranked.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Jameson, I think the game Cops deserve to be ranked
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: more than them. I would say the Gators should be
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: ranked more so than Missouri and Clemson. So yeah, I
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: think Clemson was a surprise to me that they were ranked.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: I had them as overrated. I will say, is Clemson
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: fans non bias views feel free to text bone Clemson fans,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: But I really didn't think i'd see them in there.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I thought you'd see Miami, SMU Louisville and this is
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: the Coaches.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Poll top time.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I wrote SMU actually as maybe a little bit of
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: under rated at twenty. I actually think they're more top twelve,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: top fifty. I think Kevin Jennings, I don't think he's
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: gonna win the Heisman Trophy, but I think he's going
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: to put up Heisman type numbers this year.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: He's just got to stop with the interceptions, you know
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: what I mean. He's got he have problems. He'll have games.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: See a Penn State game in a playoff a couple
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: of years ago, where he will turn it over a
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: little too much. But he's got so much talent. He's
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: got to stay healthy too. He has the way he plays,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: he has what are they Howitzer? There you go, there
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: you go. It's what you're looking for. Why is Clemson overrated? Though?
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Bone it's only twenty three they've got don't think they're
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: bouncing back this.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Year, questions that quarterback. I think that they'll be similar
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: to last year. I think they're ranked twenty three because
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: they're Clemson and not because they actually deserve to be in.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: The top twenty five. I think they're ranked by name
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: and not by who they are, right, I feel like,
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, I probably might not rank them. Obviously, they
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: lost a lot of talent, and the team that had
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: all that talent only won seven games. And there's the
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: question about Chad Morris. Good thing, bad thing. Chad has
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: not had a great run since he left Clemson. I
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: do kind of like Vezina and I do kind of
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: feel like they're gonna bounce back. But by bounce back,
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: I mean eight or nine wins, So I don't know
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: eight or nine wins get you in the ACC gets
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: you in the top twenty five. I feel like I
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: feel like they're in the twenty three to thirty area.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you who's being underrated. Woof Perkin'. How the
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: heck is NC State with thirty year stud quarterback CJ.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Bailey and that cake schedule? How are they thirty ninth
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: when it comes to you when you count the others
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: receiving votes? I know I'm going outside the top twenty five.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: I know I'm cheating, But how are they thirty ninth? Man?
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: There's not thirty eight teams are gonna have better seasons
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: at NC State?
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Do you see how many votes state had they at
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: thirteen right thirteen votes? Did you see who tied them
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: right there with thirteen votes? Florida State Florida State.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I know, what do we do with Florida State?
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Why does Florida State have more votes than Virginia Tech
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: does for the top two?
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: It's crazy. Tech's also underrated. I believe.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I think by the end of year they're going to
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: have a case maybe, although their schedule is a little difficult.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: That end of the year runs kind of tough, but
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: there's wins to be had earlier.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: For IDAK seventeen and eighteen are a tadmit overrated. That's
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: ten Tennessee and Penn State. I believe in Matt Campbell
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: long term. For Penn State, I need to see it
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit. First, the schedule is really doable. They
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: don't play they don't Maybe that's why they're they're seventeen
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: the Star with so.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: They don't play Ohio State, Indiana or Oregon. Now again,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: I mean it's basically the Eyewa State cyclones and Penn
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: State uniforms. But I think they can nine ten games.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: I feel like, Fitty, you're sitting there, you're listening to
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: us act like we know everything? What is your what
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: is your take? Who's under rated? Who's over it? Who
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: have we not mentioned? Fitty?
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: It's dumbfounding to me, Mac that we've done this entire
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: segment and haven't talked about the thirty third NFL team
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: being preseason ranked. It's on the top twenty five pole.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: How the absolute hell is that possible?
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Didn't even receive a Measley vote? Man, are you kidding me?
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: With that being said?
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: If you if you want my honest take, Yeah, what
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: sticks up? I thought Oklahoma cracking the top ten a
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: little bit surprising to me. I know that defense is
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: championship caliber, but I don't know if it's an O
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: line better. Can they run the ball, because if not,
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: they're still gonna have the same issues that they had
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: a year ago. I'm probably higher on Texas Tech than
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: most people are even there, even though they come in
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: at twelve. I think the Red Raiders will win the
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Big twelve again, and I do think Will Hamm and
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: his poise to lead them to a playoff victory. I
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: know the sowordsby conversation dominated the offseason. I do think
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Texas Tech, though, is in a much better position than
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: where they find themselves in this preseason ranking. Uh, Michigan
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: at sixteen was a little odd, that's the question.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: I think that's overrated yourself.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought they're a little bit higher than what
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: I would probably have them going in today.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Have a coach, though, and you gotta think their quarterback
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: is going to you would think there'd be something.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: You would think, you would think there'd be some broke
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Now they play Oklahoma Road in the season. Right down
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: to me too. To me, USC is the overrated one.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: People trying to make that thing happen out there, see
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: you trying to make Lincoln Riley happen. And I'm crying.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: I gotta see it to believe it. Man, this is
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: gonna surprise you.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Mac.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: I'm buying the Trojans, all right, that's the first. That's god,
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, Holy crap. Oh bone, that was strong man,
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Get out, get out the body back. We got a
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: carcass over here. Oh my god, that's a first. Holy crap.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: It's the only thing I'm worried about about that joke
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: is someone might have record damn car and I hope not.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Oh man, that was funny. Anyway, College y'all are arguing
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: with everything we said. Yeah, that's what we want. College
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: football's back, Baby, Stony Harball says Michigan's top ten watching mouth.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Fitty all in since seventy nine says Bone, he will
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: see you in Death Valley. Sir, Well, here you go, scared.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: I think I heard you. Worry about the other death value.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: You gotta go to first. That's true, worry about worry
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: about that and at the end of the season. That's
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: a good point when we come back. I can't wait
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: for this, ask the audience.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Akron is allowing a fan in the contest to design
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the whole first drive.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: If you could do this for the Panthers, what are
• 35:28

• 37:06
  Speaker 3: today twenty five. We'll talk some panthers, but you know,
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: we got to talk about FC's three zero win to
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: start the league's Cup last night. But let's have a
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: little fun with this. A little panther fan ask the audience,
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: and so far, Bone, I'm not sure a lot of
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: people are taking this seriously. This is Simon seriously. But
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: I want to know we all critique play calling. What
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: does Colin Cowhard say the local meatballs on the radio,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: all they go down, the local yo goals, all the
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: local meatballs on the radio? Do is critique play calling?
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: We don't do that at the national level. Well, consider
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: me a local meatball because we do it all the time,
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: and you do it all time. So we're gonna have
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: a little fun with this Akron story where Akron is
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: allowing a season ticket holder to design the whole first
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: drive against Robert Morris coming up in a few weeks.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: So we want to ask, if you could design a
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: first drive, what are some of the plays you're gonna call?
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: Seven oh four? Are five, seven, nine, six, ten? And uh?
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: Some of the answers we get Bone the annexation of
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Puerto Rico, that was one of our techs. Spider two,
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: why banana is the only answer that's from Chris and
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Huntersville and dirty Russian says, I'm calling Operation Young Eagle.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, the Panthers just threw Bryce Young. So there,
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: so there you go. I'm not sure y'all are locking
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: in here? Not sure y'all locking in? What are I mean?
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: You don't need to give us like a whole script
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: of fifteen plays, but like, what's a couple of plays
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: that if you get the chance to call plays for
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: the Panthers? What are a couple of plays you're starting
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: a game?
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Well, when I first saw this topic, the first thing
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: that came to mind was green right, ax, chip the
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: viper right, thirty two x stick hookie.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Thank you. So that was the first thing I thought of.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: What where'd you get that play called? One of the plays?
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: I know? All right, that's also one of John Gruden's
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: plays I looked up.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, it's a play call that Chris Sims couldn't memorize
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: in a huddle, and Grordan just cusses him out.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: You see, Wolf says wheel route to Jonathan Brooks first play.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: I have a screen to Brooks in my in my
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: first drive. I also have a Bryce Young bootleg as
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: my opener play action bootleg opening play to Bryce Young.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: They're ready for Canalis to run the football and we
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: get Bryce out in the boot. I gotta call I
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: love stuff Brooks half back slip screen. That just says
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: screen the Brooks. Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, but you added
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: in the element out there slip screen. Oh there he
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: is in the flat. Definitely, definitely, I'm banging it with you.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: But a little bit too. You got to establish the run.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: We can't just I know what we want to do.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: We want to do this the way we do Madden.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: But we can't just come out and throw it every
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: dang play. Right, We got established to run a little bit.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Then you then maybe you established the run, then maybe
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: you hit a little play action deep shot to Jalen Cocher.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Do you know bone the Jayleen Coker last year was
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: targeted seven times on deep balls, caught six of them.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Seems like a pretty efficient play about that.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Also, I also want to throw a pass to the
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: tight end to get them going a little bit of time,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: because not only do I want a tight end, whichever
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: one it may be tremble Evans, I don't know. I
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: want them to not only get confidence early, I want
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: the other team to have to honor the tight end spot.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: I like it. I want them to have to worry
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: about those guys make a back. I like it. This
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: texter says, it's just coming from a guy that got
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: fired in college football plays. This dude said, I guarantee
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: you the Panther's staff is sitting here listening to this,
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: rolling on the floor laughing. I mean, yeah, we're all conceding.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: We get the minds of fans. It's not necessarily like,
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: but this would be our dream, right if we could
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: actually call plays for the Panthers like an Akron fan,
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: we'll be able to do. This. Texture says, what does
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Akron need to lose? It might be an upgrade to
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: let a fan call the place. That's fair. That's fair.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: Let's see here, t Mac. Somebody points out, you guys
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: have designed a bunch of plays, none of them for
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: t Mac. I'm thinking dig route to t Mac. T
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Max sells that deep route. Huh, breaks it off over
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: the middle and you just let him grab it and
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: try to go and go after the catch. Man. I
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: like him over the middle after the catch, run a
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: little dig route. I also like t Mac in the
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: swat on those crossers. Okay, okay, I like that.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I also way green right, scattered the west right, tight
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: flip right double.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: I like smothered covered chunk. I don't know the rest.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: What's the rest of the topic too? Are we ordering
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: out a diner or are we doing play calls? Oh man,
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: he's smothered chunk. Me smother covered chunk, diced on two dice.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: That wasn't one. I forgot alright, seven O four five,
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: seven oh nine six ten. Lizard Lick says, X clown
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: to t MAC, sounds good if we can get it
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: to work like the like the infamous X clown.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Let's see here he Jay says, why are we calling
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: plays to reset?
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: Accurate? In football?
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Is allowing a fan in the contest to script the
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: first drive?
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: Right, So we're kind of asking if you had control
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: over plays on a first drive for the first time ever.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Thank you to Akron Football Tampa Matt says, all I
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: want to do is fake a field goal on fourth down.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: There you go, baby, We saw him do that. Bone
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: in the UH to Felipe Franks and FanFest. Yeah, Maggie
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: with the cynics are out there. Do we really think
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: that Akron is going to take seriously the script of
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: a fan or are they just going to act like
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: they took the plays and it's not really going to
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: be anybody's plays. I again, I think to the previous
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: Texters point it's Akron. They may look at that and
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: be like this is an upgrade. They may fire their
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: OC and promote the season ticket over.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Hey, how does Robert Morris playing for a fans place.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: They don't even know the guy. They're going to be
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: so pissed and at Robert morris locker room. Imagine that
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: pregame speech from that coach. They're letting a damn call
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: their first sers disrespect. That will be a big speech,
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: big speech.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: I don't advocate betting on Robert Morris an acron, but
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: I may well get the spread and see if Robert
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Morris can cover that bat.
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: Let's see bicycle. Herd says, if Dave can call a
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: flea flicker in the rain when almost in the red zone,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: I think it's fair we get to call a fumble rooskie.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: There you go another text. If it's raining, if it's
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: raining it we're at the twenty four. I'm calling a
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: flea flicker like Dave Canalis. Yeah, that one that is
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: now I will live in infamy. That fleeflicker play called
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: did not work.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Someone says the problem with the flea flickers to Bryce,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: you might throw it right over his head, so that
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: could be a problem for the price and a flea flicker.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: Big Deep Energy says slant body catch to Exel. I
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: would hope with the hands, but I don't know if
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: i'd bet money hands.
• 43:44
