- 1:02Speaker 4: Bone.
- 1:03Speaker 2: I was watching our Next Maya, our next guest on
- 1:06Speaker 2: YouTube yesterday because Maggot's been a while. You know, I
- 1:09Speaker 2: always tell you I watched old games and stuff.
- 1:11Speaker 5: Wow.
- 1:12Speaker 2: The Buccaneers Panthers two thousand and three game Week two,
- 1:16Speaker 2: the class is finally on YouTube.
- 1:18Speaker 4: The whole second half is on their release that's the
- 1:20Speaker 4: block kicks.
- 1:20Speaker 2: The block kick game, and I forgot that those block
- 1:23Speaker 2: kicks all happened in the fourth quarter. It was crazy.
- 1:27Speaker 2: There wasn't like one in the second. They were all
- 1:29Speaker 2: in like the last eleven minutes of the game or that.
- 1:32Speaker 2: That's an all time. That's it. There was thirty five
- 1:37Speaker 2: penalties called in that game, not accepted, but like call.
- 1:42Speaker 3: Our next guest, have we got to find out? That was?
- 1:44Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 1:45Speaker 4: I saw none from him.
- 1:46Speaker 3: That's when the Cardiac cat said, defending champs were coming
- 1:50Speaker 3: for you.
- 1:50Speaker 2: That was Jay Golomb's first road start in the league. Also,
- 1:53Speaker 2: that's a classic. Look at you finding that on. It's
- 1:55Speaker 2: way better than what you watched on YouTube the other day.
- 1:57Speaker 2: What were you watching the other day on YouTube?
- 2:02Speaker 3: Nice? I like this better. I like I guess they're
- 2:04Speaker 3: both entertaining in their own way. All right, let's bring
- 2:07Speaker 3: him on him.
- 2:07Speaker 2: I just I just watched what the algorithm says, I
- 2:10Speaker 2: need to watch that.
- 2:10Speaker 3: A member of the NFC A champion and championship team
- 2:14Speaker 3: in two thousand and three, still a fan favorite, and
- 2:17Speaker 3: he is now ridiculously slim and trim.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Man.
- 2:21Speaker 3: It was good to see him at training camp. So
- 2:23Speaker 3: you know, we got to hear his training camp observations.
- 2:25Speaker 3: He is the great Brentson Buckner who joins us on
- 2:28Speaker 3: the Mac and Bone show. Buck, it was good catching
- 2:30Speaker 3: up with you man. How you doing today, brother.
- 2:33Speaker 1: I'm doing good man. It was nice seeing you guys too, You.
- 2:36Speaker 3: Too, man, There we go. That absolutely that was cool.
- 2:39Speaker 3: But Buck left us though. Smitty showed up and Buck said, yeah,
- 2:42Speaker 3: we're gonna go down here with the players now.
- 2:44Speaker 2: But Buck, when when Smitty walked away with you he said,
- 2:46Speaker 2: let's get away from the general population.
- 2:48Speaker 3: He did, he said let's get He taught us, he
- 2:51Speaker 3: caught us gen pop.
- 2:52Speaker 4: Yeah, he said, certainly he's not talking about us. He said,
- 2:54Speaker 4: let's get away for these Gen poppers.
- 2:57Speaker 3: And of course I had to look up what Jen
- 3:00Speaker 3: Pop that back to look down them. But apparently that
- 3:03Speaker 3: meant we weren't as cool as we go we folks. Yes,
- 3:05Speaker 3: it did, Yes, it did? What all right? So Buck,
- 3:09Speaker 3: you were you were there taking the practice in. I
- 3:12Speaker 3: love I love when when the Panther alums like you
- 3:14Speaker 3: and Smitte. I love when you guys come back show
- 3:17Speaker 3: that interest in the team. That was the first padded practice,
- 3:21Speaker 3: and we need to talk to you because you were
- 3:23Speaker 3: in the middle of the field where the VIPs go,
- 3:26Speaker 3: you could actually see practice. They had all the linemen
- 3:29Speaker 3: that weren't in at the time as human barricades for us,
- 3:33Speaker 3: we could hardly see anything. So what like what stuck out? Okay,
- 3:39Speaker 3: let's talk about in the trenches. It was the first
- 3:41Speaker 3: time wearing pads. What stuck out in the trenches when
- 3:44Speaker 3: you were watching?
- 3:46Speaker 1: Oh, really stuck out for me was the size of
- 3:48Speaker 1: the team. Now I remember coming back to three years ago.
- 3:53Speaker 1: It was two years ago, two years ago, and I
- 3:57Speaker 1: was I was shot at how small the team will us.
- 4:00Speaker 1: You know that they wouldn't. They wasn't they wasn't NFL
- 4:03Speaker 1: like size guys. But now you walk in that gate
- 4:07Speaker 1: and you you see big, huge guys, and I think
- 4:10Speaker 1: Dan and Dave had done a good job of changing
- 4:14Speaker 1: the physique of this team. And that's what really stuck out.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Just big offensive linement, big defensive linemen, and when they collide,
- 4:24Speaker 1: it's football noise, you know what I mean, It's sound.
- 4:27Speaker 1: You want to hear iron, iron sharping and iron. So
- 4:30Speaker 1: that really stood out to me. And then also I
- 4:33Speaker 1: was in there looking Jackson and Horner, two of the
- 4:37Speaker 1: bigger cornerbacks I've seen the NFL and the wise not
- 4:41Speaker 1: not just height wise. I'm just talking about from size, thickness,
- 4:45Speaker 1: and you know, just the way they are built, you know,
- 4:48Speaker 1: and this is a big, physical team, and you throw
- 4:50Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd in that middle linebacker position, now all of
- 4:53Speaker 1: a sudden, you look a lot, a lot stronger up
- 4:56Speaker 1: the middle of your defense. And then offensive wise, just
- 4:59Speaker 1: seeing the rhythm you know of those guys, the way
- 5:03Speaker 1: they play, and knowing and knowing coach Goodwin who the
- 5:08Speaker 1: office line coach, He's still gonna find a way to
- 5:10Speaker 1: run the ball and attack that defense and trying to
- 5:13Speaker 1: block Derrick Brown ear snap. It was just good to
- 5:17Speaker 1: see that type of mentality going on.
- 5:19Speaker 4: Yeah, you and I were talking.
- 5:20Speaker 2: One guy that really stands out size wise, his defensive lineman,
- 5:24Speaker 2: Cam Jackson. I don't know what, I don't know what
- 5:27Speaker 2: like his contribution level will be at this point, but
- 5:30Speaker 2: he's bigger than Derek Brown. That's the first thing I
- 5:32Speaker 2: noticed once. Oh my god, Cam Jackson is a mountain
- 5:36Speaker 2: of a man. And another guy I know you're watching
- 5:38Speaker 2: closely as a young guy, Lee Hunter, what's your observations
- 5:43Speaker 2: from him and the immediate impact you think he can have.
- 5:47Speaker 1: First of all, ninety nine Jackson kids. He is man,
- 5:53Speaker 1: He's not He's not from this planet. You know. Those
- 5:55Speaker 1: people like that ain't born. They come in this truck.
- 5:58Speaker 1: You have to put them together. You know. I just
- 6:02Speaker 1: hope he can play up to his size. But I
- 6:04Speaker 1: was impressed by Lee Hunter. You know, I saw him
- 6:07Speaker 1: actually running with the ones and he held his own.
- 6:11Speaker 1: You know, he's very He's a throwback player. No tape
- 6:14Speaker 1: on the wrist, not a whole bunch of raszles. Dazzles
- 6:17Speaker 1: are the way he dressed. He just goes out there
- 6:19Speaker 1: and he plays. He plays with energy. One thing I
- 6:23Speaker 1: did know is he plays with good leverage. To be
- 6:26Speaker 1: a young player. Most young defensive linemen struggled leverage coming
- 6:30Speaker 1: out of college because most defensive line they get drafted
- 6:33Speaker 1: are just so much better than the offensive line in
- 6:35Speaker 1: their face. So they get bad habits of not having
- 6:37Speaker 1: good leverage and not good technique. But this guy is
- 6:42Speaker 1: ahead of the curves, and you know, he has a
- 6:44Speaker 1: great you know, wash the d line coaches, a great coach,
- 6:47Speaker 1: a great technician, and you know, and I watched him
- 6:50Speaker 1: actually in drills, and I watched him. Whenever Derrick Brown
- 6:54Speaker 1: correcting him on something, it wasn't no pushback. It was
- 6:57Speaker 1: like all right, all right, and he acts for directions
- 6:59Speaker 1: like now what do you mean by that? How I
- 7:02Speaker 1: need to do it? You know, he was looking for
- 7:03Speaker 1: that clarifications, which is a great which is a great
- 7:07Speaker 1: rate to have as a young guy willing to learn
- 7:09Speaker 1: from your veteran leader.
- 7:11Speaker 3: Do you see so Buck, I would guess you in
- 7:13Speaker 3: your career you saw all sides of that, Like do
- 7:16Speaker 3: you get guys too that are young and like think
- 7:18Speaker 3: that that they know everything already, like and don't want
- 7:21Speaker 3: to hear stuff from the vets?
- 7:23Speaker 1: Oh, yes you do. I was one of them. I
- 7:28Speaker 1: was one of them, you know, because you know they
- 7:31Speaker 1: tell you when you go in there as a risk
- 7:32Speaker 1: and you got to have a certain amount of confidence
- 7:35Speaker 1: and cockiness on you on yourself. Well, sometimes you can
- 7:38Speaker 1: have too much. You can have too much and you'll
- 7:42Speaker 1: get some players that you know, these guys they come
- 7:45Speaker 1: out they're all Americans, They're great wherever they come from. Nowadays,
- 7:48Speaker 1: they come out with money in their pocket and it's
- 7:51Speaker 1: hard to sort of break that shell. But to see
- 7:53Speaker 1: a young guy, you know, come in and be eager
- 7:56Speaker 1: to learn and to work, and that's gonna bode well
- 7:59Speaker 1: for the room because what's gonna happen. He's gonna he's
- 8:02Speaker 1: gonna gain respect from the all the vets, and they're
- 8:06Speaker 1: gonna accept him in. And that's what happened to me
- 8:08Speaker 1: as a young guy. Once I feel like I don't
- 8:11Speaker 1: know everything, let me listen to Kevin Green, let me
- 8:13Speaker 1: listen to Greg Lloyd. You know those guys, And once
- 8:16Speaker 1: they feel you're listening to him and they're molding you,
- 8:19Speaker 1: then they'll accept you in and then it becomes a
- 8:22Speaker 1: smooth ride after that.
- 8:23Speaker 4: It makes sense.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Buck, you mentioned Devin Woyd in your initial breakdown. What
- 8:28Speaker 2: do you think of his addition and schematically what's he
- 8:32Speaker 2: gonna add to this defense that it was missing in
- 8:34Speaker 2: previous years?
- 8:36Speaker 1: Man Devil Lloyd is a super athletic guy. I was
- 8:38Speaker 1: in Jacksonville where we drafted him out of Utah, and
- 8:41Speaker 1: he really was a position a positionless player because he's
- 8:45Speaker 1: played so many positions at Utah. They use them all
- 8:48Speaker 1: over the field and we bring them into be an
- 8:50Speaker 1: inside linebacker. And what we had to do was we
- 8:53Speaker 1: had to hone all that ability in like now, cut
- 8:56Speaker 1: away all the other stuff just what you need. Now
- 8:59Speaker 1: you add that lyticism and that size and play making
- 9:02Speaker 1: the ability in in the middle of your defense, you
- 9:05Speaker 1: only get stronger than and well a lot of people
- 9:07Speaker 1: don't understand. And he allows you some versatility because I
- 9:11Speaker 1: actually saw him getting a chance to line up on
- 9:14Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage almost as an outside linebacker and
- 9:17Speaker 1: actually pressure the quarterback. And that's a trait that Devin
- 9:20Speaker 1: Lowd has. He worked on it, you know, and Jacksonville
- 9:23Speaker 1: a lot. He takes pride in beable to be a
- 9:25Speaker 1: good blitzer and take advantage of those matchups. And I
- 9:28Speaker 1: think that's a that's gonna be a big plus because
- 9:31Speaker 1: the one thing that I, if I could say was
- 9:35Speaker 1: a negative for Carolina's defense last year was to play
- 9:39Speaker 1: up the middle once you got past the defensive line. Now,
- 9:43Speaker 1: those guys did as they could they could do. But
- 9:45Speaker 1: Devin Lord is an upgrade and he's a bigger presence.
- 9:49Speaker 1: He's not only big, he's fast, he's rangy, he's long,
- 9:55Speaker 1: and he has a high football character. You know, we
- 9:59Speaker 1: used to have to kick him out the building in
- 10:01Speaker 1: him Jacksonville, because you know, he really wanted to be
- 10:04Speaker 1: there all the time, and we always had to pro
- 10:06Speaker 1: take them from himself, like, look, don't pressure yourself to
- 10:09Speaker 1: be great. Just just be good every day. Let the
- 10:11Speaker 1: greatness come. But he wants to be great. He's a
- 10:14Speaker 1: great kid. He loves his teammates. But I think that's
- 10:17Speaker 1: a big plus. Now. I think making him the Green
- 10:19Speaker 1: that guy is gonna sort of challenge him to becoming
- 10:23Speaker 1: even better.
- 10:24Speaker 2: I love getting kicked out of the building. Sounds like
- 10:26Speaker 2: a guy going to the Hall of Fame next week,
- 10:28Speaker 2: doesn't it.
- 10:30Speaker 3: Damn straight? Remember the Christmas Eve story, Rivera tells Lucas
- 10:34Speaker 3: in there on Christmas Eve at like six o'clock watching film.
- 10:36Speaker 4: He's like, get out of here, get out of here.
- 10:38Speaker 3: Man. Brinson Buckner is with us. Hey, funny Panther Gray,
- 10:43Speaker 3: one of one of the true Panther greats and one
- 10:45Speaker 3: of the all around great guys as well. Here in Charlotte.
- 10:49Speaker 3: He took in practice the other day, so we're talking
- 10:51Speaker 3: about it. There may be some talk about a certain
- 10:53Speaker 3: head coach bone at his alma mater as well, who
- 10:56Speaker 3: we talk about a lot.
- 10:57Speaker 4: But before we get to.
- 10:57Speaker 3: That, buck you were you were down there watching the
- 11:01Speaker 3: padded practice and Monroe Freeling was right there in front
- 11:05Speaker 3: of you playing right tackle, going against Jalen Phillips a
- 11:09Speaker 3: ton What did you see with him? I mean, the
- 11:11Speaker 3: offense had a pretty darn has had a good run
- 11:13Speaker 3: here the last three days, and it sounds like he has.
- 11:16Speaker 3: He's been fairly clean. What did you see from him
- 11:19Speaker 3: down there?
- 11:20Speaker 1: Oh? Super athletic guy, you know, smart, You can tell
- 11:24Speaker 1: he played a good program in Georgia. And actually talking
- 11:27Speaker 1: to some people who Kosha met Georgia was on their staff,
- 11:30Speaker 1: they talked about his athleticism, which wasn't on display the
- 11:34Speaker 1: last few years because he dealt with injuries. But he
- 11:37Speaker 1: doesn't look like a fish out of water. But then
- 11:39Speaker 1: he's going against a guy and Jalen Phillips every day.
- 11:42Speaker 1: That's only gonna make him better. And I hate I
- 11:45Speaker 1: don't like to say this because I don't want to
- 11:46Speaker 1: put the pressure on it. It kind of reminds of
- 11:49Speaker 1: a young Jordan Gross going against Julius Peppers every day,
- 11:52Speaker 1: you know, And I remember Kevin Dunley used to call Gross,
- 11:57Speaker 1: you're not gonna face a better defensive lineman on Sundays,
- 12:01Speaker 1: then you're gonna practice against every day. And Jordan took
- 12:04Speaker 1: his bumps and bruises, but you can see his comfortings growing.
- 12:07Speaker 1: He started to win some battles and go and then
- 12:10Speaker 1: when we went into the season, he was real seasoned,
- 12:14Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So that's what I'm seeing
- 12:15Speaker 1: in Jalen Phillips. Now, I know Jaylen Phils was a
- 12:19Speaker 1: big human being, you know, And that was my first
- 12:24Speaker 1: time since he came out of school, you know, seeing
- 12:27Speaker 1: him in pass and just seeing him out that. He
- 12:30Speaker 1: has a big presence, but feeling is not is not
- 12:33Speaker 1: bad in his eye. He's not shying away from him.
- 12:36Speaker 1: He's sticking his face and the fan and they're they're
- 12:39Speaker 1: battling each other and it's good to see. And that's
- 12:41Speaker 1: what you want to see in training camp. You want
- 12:43Speaker 1: to see good, clean battles. You want everybody to be
- 12:46Speaker 1: at their best because you know you're making that guy
- 12:48Speaker 1: in front of you even better.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Buck mac Metching your alma mater Clemson. There, What what
- 12:54Speaker 2: do you think is going on with Clemson in this
- 12:56Speaker 2: step back the last few seasons? And are you down
- 13:00Speaker 2: on Dabo like some Clemson fans are right now?
- 13:04Speaker 1: Well, I'm not like you know me, I've never been
- 13:08Speaker 1: nothing but honest about my feelings for Dabo. I was
- 13:10Speaker 1: not a Dabbo fan when he first got that job,
- 13:13Speaker 1: and I let it be known. But I do respect
- 13:16Speaker 1: what the man has built as that program down there,
- 13:19Speaker 1: and every program is gonna take a step back, especially
- 13:24Speaker 1: when it goes to a change like the NIL in
- 13:26Speaker 1: which he was baling me against. He didn't believe in
- 13:30Speaker 1: the NIL and the recruiting the portal, and let's be honest,
- 13:35Speaker 1: that hurt him for the last two or three years
- 13:37Speaker 1: because when everybody else was getting better by by robbing
- 13:41Speaker 1: other teens, he tried to do it the old school
- 13:43Speaker 1: way and he couldn't do it. So yeah, he's gonna
- 13:46Speaker 1: take some flak for that. But the man has done
- 13:49Speaker 1: nothing but win for us, you know what I mean
- 13:52Speaker 1: At Clemson, if you I know, a lot of people
- 13:54Speaker 1: don't like to talk about it, but the last was
- 13:57Speaker 1: fifteen years he's been there, and you know, it can
- 14:01Speaker 1: rival anybody. But fans are gonna be fans, and that's
- 14:05Speaker 1: that's the one thing I do love about being a
- 14:07Speaker 1: Clemson alumni and the Clemson fans, they are very passionate
- 14:11Speaker 1: about it. They have very short memory. They forget about
- 14:15Speaker 1: the Tummy West days and those struggling days of about
- 14:19Speaker 1: and so at the end they want their cake and
- 14:22Speaker 1: to want to eat it too. But I told Debo
- 14:24Speaker 1: this because I went down and worked the camp. I said,
- 14:27Speaker 1: this is a product of what you've done. You spaw them,
- 14:30Speaker 1: you took them through all these Bowl games, and they
- 14:32Speaker 1: walked through the store, Hey devil, I want this prize,
- 14:35Speaker 1: I want this trophy. And now the first time that
- 14:38Speaker 1: doesn't happen, they throwing the tantum on the floor. Yes,
- 14:42Speaker 1: this is Joe probable, but I believe in what he's doing.
- 14:46Speaker 1: I have nothing but respect for what he's doing because
- 14:48Speaker 1: he has to acculaze the show. And I think I
- 14:51Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be a National Championship type contingents
- 14:57Speaker 1: this year, but they'll be much better than they were left.
- 15:00Speaker 1: You got to rebuild it back up, and you know,
- 15:02Speaker 1: every program goes through that stage every now and then.
- 15:05Speaker 3: We talked about that last hour, like he has created
- 15:08Speaker 3: the loft, that the the He raised the expectations and
- 15:12Speaker 3: now it's kind of like, you know, if you don't
- 15:14Speaker 3: meet your your own performance, it's like is it good enough?
- 15:17Speaker 3: Because to bucks point, he could you know, he could
- 15:20Speaker 3: win nine ten games and that's better than the then
- 15:23Speaker 3: both Tommy's would often do. So it's an interesting conversation
- 15:27Speaker 3: that that Clemson fans are having. Buck, I do need
- 15:29Speaker 3: to tell the audience that when we were catching up
- 15:31Speaker 3: the other day at camp, I did catch you in
- 15:33Speaker 3: a lie, Buck, I did hear you lie. You met
- 15:36Speaker 3: the lovely Sheena Quick for the first time. You were
- 15:39Speaker 3: saying hello, and you were talking about your playing career
- 15:42Speaker 3: and all your stops along the way, and you left
- 15:45Speaker 3: out Cincinnati. Not only did you leave out Cincinnati. When
- 15:48Speaker 3: I tried to insert Cincinnati, you told her I never
- 15:51Speaker 3: played in Cincinnati.
- 15:52Speaker 4: I don't know what he's talking about.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Yeah, because I try to raise Hell, you erased a
- 16:01Speaker 1: bad from your memory.
- 16:03Speaker 3: That is so funny.
- 16:07Speaker 1: I don't know what Cincinnati is today, but I don't
- 16:11Speaker 1: want to remember the time I was in Cincinnati.
- 16:15Speaker 3: It's so funny because it's there. It's like hidden on
- 16:18Speaker 3: your pro football reference page. Like three years in Pittsburgh.
- 16:21Speaker 3: I know you still love the Steelers, three in San Fran,
- 16:24Speaker 3: five in Carolina. But between Pittsburgh and San Frian there's
- 16:28Speaker 3: that one year in Cincinnati. I have to be honest,
- 16:30Speaker 3: I don't even remember it, Like I try to tell you,
- 16:36Speaker 3: I don't remember ever seeing you like in a Bengals jersey, so.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Maybe you've never on television. I think it was on
- 16:44Speaker 1: television one time. It just so happened. It was the
- 16:47Speaker 1: night that Corey Dillon wrote the single game Ricky Russian
- 16:50Speaker 1: performance that night, you know what I mean. And I
- 16:53Speaker 1: had some I had some great friends from now Corey Dillon,
- 16:56Speaker 1: avery b enemy who I met, Karl Piggins is still
- 16:59Speaker 1: one of my closest friends, Darny Scott, Dan Wilkinson. It
- 17:03Speaker 1: was just a bad it was. It was like I
- 17:06Speaker 1: was put in prison. It's like I was being punished.
- 17:10Speaker 4: We had two Bengals legends that camp in one day,
- 17:12Speaker 4: you both out there.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Ends we can have all my bingo paraphernalia. He could
- 17:20Speaker 1: have everything from that, just to raise me out of it.
- 17:23Speaker 1: But what was I left Pittsburgh and where we was
- 17:28Speaker 1: taught and we was greoled to hate everybody in the
- 17:31Speaker 1: old AFC. Then I have to go play for the Bengals,
- 17:36Speaker 1: who we just despised because they always thought they was
- 17:39Speaker 1: good and they never were good. And I saw why
- 17:41Speaker 1: when I got there. You know what I saw why
- 17:44Speaker 1: when I got there and I was there with coach
- 17:48Speaker 1: uh big La bow Brother. I was there with Coastal
- 17:50Speaker 1: bo love. Even my love for Coastal the Bowl would
- 17:54Speaker 1: not allow me to stay in Cincinnati. One we we
- 17:59Speaker 1: play a last game. The next one we had means
- 18:02Speaker 1: at eight o'clock. They were at ten and at ten
- 18:05Speaker 1: o Files. I was at the gas station driving back
- 18:07Speaker 1: to my home in South Carolina. I couldn't say that.
- 18:11Speaker 1: I couldn't say another minute.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Uh, Buck, did you like O Show's pants the other day?
- 18:16Speaker 3: The shorts that are almost down to his ankles? Could
- 18:19Speaker 3: you pull that off?
- 18:19Speaker 1: Buck? I probably couldn't now because I lost a lot
- 18:23Speaker 1: of weight. If I if I had wore him back
- 18:25Speaker 1: when I was a little bit herey, I looked like
- 18:27Speaker 1: a genie out of the bottle. Since I lost some way,
- 18:32Speaker 1: I think I could pull it up.
- 18:34Speaker 3: I know I couldn't pull that off, Bock. I'd be
- 18:35Speaker 3: laughed at. I'd be laughed off the street if I
- 18:38Speaker 3: try to wear them out in public.
- 18:40Speaker 1: I like the deep bone look, though I don't. I
- 18:43Speaker 1: got scared. I tried to hide my wallet when he
- 18:45Speaker 1: walked through the gate.
- 18:47Speaker 4: What is your son in my house? Accidentally sideways? When
- 18:51Speaker 4: I was walking.
- 18:53Speaker 1: He had his shade had the full beard and his
- 18:57Speaker 1: pants were sagging a little bit. Oh they left.
- 19:00Speaker 2: Yeah, Buck, I've sort of become the enforcer of the
- 19:04Speaker 2: operation round here.
- 19:05Speaker 3: What a badass, badass bone baby? All right, Buck, always good?
- 19:09Speaker 3: Catch it up with you, man in I call Mac.
- 19:11Speaker 4: It'll be now.
- 19:15Speaker 3: Listen, man, I have to take it from Buck, all right?
- 19:17Speaker 3: What was my alternative? I don't know if i'd take
- 19:19Speaker 3: it from you. People are still texting about that this morning.
- 19:22Speaker 3: It never fails, never fails, Buck. Every time you're on
- 19:25Speaker 3: with us, somebody's I remember that time Mac Buck was
- 19:27Speaker 3: gonna kill you. Yeah, It's like, oh yeah, good memories,
- 19:30Speaker 3: good memories. All right. I think he also wants to
- 19:32Speaker 3: do that. Every time I bring up Cincinnati, I think
- 19:34Speaker 3: as well. All right, Buck, you rock man, we'll talk
- 19:37Speaker 3: to you. Be good brother. All right, there you go, Buck.
- 19:41Speaker 3: That is Brinston Butner. Now that you uh, what do
- 19:44Speaker 3: he call you?
- 19:45Speaker 4: Thug boat? That's what the teas always stood for.
- 19:47Speaker 3: Now that your thugbone and Buck's words, Now you could
- 19:51Speaker 3: one love him?
- 19:52Speaker 1: Right.
- 19:52Speaker 2: I didn't love both thugs and harmony. Back in the day,
- 19:55Speaker 2: back in my youth, I was a big fan of thuggets.

- 22:34Speaker 3: how you been man? What's going on? Brother?
- 22:37Speaker 5: Oh man? I watched Liverpool last night. It was a
- 22:41Speaker 5: kind of a snooze fant but that's all right. Using
- 22:44Speaker 5: Yankee Stadium, which I guess NYCFC uses anyway, that's a
- 22:49Speaker 5: terrible football football pitch awful it is.
- 22:53Speaker 3: It's we're doing Charlotte plays there. I just I hate
- 22:56Speaker 3: watch every game there. It's so annoying.
- 22:58Speaker 5: Man.
- 22:58Speaker 3: How about that the the the Fenway Sports Group owned
- 23:02Speaker 3: Liverpool at Yankee State.
- 23:04Speaker 4: That's an interesting twist.
- 23:06Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I'm not even sure who organized the
- 23:09Speaker 5: game it was. It was all Liverpool fans, but I
- 23:12Speaker 5: I almost felt like it was a Wrexham organized game. Yeah,
- 23:17Speaker 5: but I don't know, I don't really care. It wasn't.
- 23:20Speaker 5: It wasn't a fun watch. There were only a couple
- 23:22Speaker 5: of moments, just.
- 23:24Speaker 3: Like NFL preseason like it just it means the real
- 23:27Speaker 3: thing is coming soon. I don't know if you watched
- 23:29Speaker 3: any of the MLS All Star Game. We had it
- 23:31Speaker 3: in Charlotte obviously last night. The crowd skills, the crowd
- 23:35Speaker 3: was The skills was fun. The crowd was so cool.
- 23:39Speaker 3: It was a It was such a diverse crowd, like
- 23:41Speaker 3: the three I was telling Bone. The three big fan
- 23:43Speaker 3: bases were obviously Charlotte FFC fans, Uh Sun fans, I mean,
- 23:48Speaker 3: and he ends up scoring two goals and making them
- 23:50Speaker 3: go crazy. You would not believe the amount of South
- 23:53Speaker 3: Korea Spur Spurs or LAFC Sun shirts. And then Mexico
- 23:58Speaker 3: fans right national teams. There were four guys from their
- 24:01Speaker 3: national team playing for League Amechis, but also just so
- 24:04Speaker 3: many kits of like all the different Mexican club team.
- 24:07Speaker 3: It was a very it was It was a sellout
- 24:10Speaker 3: lower Bowl, like every ticket they had they sold. It
- 24:13Speaker 3: was a good crowd.
- 24:14Speaker 4: It was fun. That was a fun one.
- 24:15Speaker 5: I enjoyed the skills competition. Tomas Mueller showed that he
- 24:21Speaker 5: is funny as all get out, which took me by surprise.
- 24:26Speaker 5: It's just it's I was stunned when they asked him
- 24:30Speaker 5: about you know, how important the trophy was for the
- 24:34Speaker 5: shooting competition, which I think they gave him before Evander
- 24:40Speaker 5: tied him.
- 24:41Speaker 4: Yes, yes they did. He give it back.
- 24:45Speaker 3: And he pland to put the crown back. Yeah, yeah
- 24:47Speaker 3: as well, that was fun crowd.
- 24:49Speaker 5: I found that whole thing hysterical, but it was Son
- 24:53Speaker 5: is a global superstar that we didn't realize here until
- 24:59Speaker 5: he came here. And Tottenham's got a lot of fans.
- 25:02Speaker 5: Tottenham's a big club. I know several Tottenham fans, So,
- 25:06Speaker 5: Darren Geht, I'm sure a friend of your show, friend
- 25:09Speaker 5: of my show, huge Spurs fans.
- 25:13Speaker 3: He's got a sunny shirt that he wears around. Yeah,
- 25:17Speaker 3: oh yes. He was very excited to be sharing a
- 25:19Speaker 3: building with him this week.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Adam, there are so many layers to unc right now
- 25:25Speaker 2: in the story that broke this week. There's there's Lombardi,
- 25:28Speaker 2: there's Belichick, there's a program as a whole. We'll start
- 25:31Speaker 2: with Lombardi. What's your reaction to the news this week
- 25:34Speaker 2: he's on paid leave in the overall celebration of college athletics,
- 25:41Speaker 2: that Michael Lombardi is now on paid leave.
- 25:46Speaker 5: Not good at his job would be the first thing
- 25:49Speaker 5: that would like, I'm not sure he's not been good
- 25:53Speaker 5: at this job, but not good at the job that
- 25:57Speaker 5: he that is on his resume. I think we all
- 26:00Speaker 5: know somebody in our professional travels that was never good,
- 26:06Speaker 5: but always seemed to get another job. And I personally
- 26:11Speaker 5: worked for somebody who was so terrible at his job
- 26:15Speaker 5: and kept getting other jobs because he once had the job,
- 26:20Speaker 5: which which begs the question does anybody ever check references?
- 26:26Speaker 5: I don't know why Lombardi, who has really been borderline
- 26:32Speaker 5: unsuccessful at every step along the way in his professional journey.
- 26:36Speaker 5: I don't understand why he kept getting gigs and he's
- 26:41Speaker 5: he's he's like he considers himself a genius. Maybe it's
- 26:45Speaker 5: because he has typewriter, he owns typewriters, because I mean,
- 26:49Speaker 5: that's yeah, what.
- 26:51Speaker 2: I said the other day. We don't we don't know
- 26:53Speaker 2: what he did ag. But did he slide up in
- 26:55Speaker 2: some DMS or something using a typewriter.
- 26:59Speaker 5: That he left type, he left type written notes or
- 27:05Speaker 5: he used white out, remember the old white out stuffy
- 27:09Speaker 5: stuff like that. Like, here's the thing about it. I mean,
- 27:12Speaker 5: I don't know what the nature of the the HR
- 27:15Speaker 5: violation is. It was a former front office employee with
- 27:19Speaker 5: North Carolina, so it was a football front office employee
- 27:24Speaker 5: that filed the HR complaint. I get. I don't know
- 27:27Speaker 5: to what level it is. Did he was he telling
- 27:30Speaker 5: dirty jokes? I don't know was he was he brushing
- 27:33Speaker 5: up against somebody in the hallway. I have no idea.
- 27:37Speaker 5: You know, They'll let them figure that out. It's embarrassing
- 27:40Speaker 5: to Bill because Lombardi didn't do a great job here.
- 27:44Speaker 5: Although recruiting got better. The portal job they did got better,
- 27:48Speaker 5: but it was such a disaster the year before. And
- 27:51Speaker 5: we don't really know how good it's gonna be until
- 27:53Speaker 5: we see him on the field. But it doesn't really
- 27:57Speaker 5: impact this season because the roster was already put together.
- 28:01Speaker 3: Yeah, but it does. It's another mess, you know what
- 28:04Speaker 3: I mean? That hurts the reputation when they do, you know,
- 28:08Speaker 3: the recruiting. I've listened to a lot of national podcasts
- 28:12Speaker 3: talking about this this week, just kind of curious for
- 28:15Speaker 3: the national perspective, and we have definitely noticed there is
- 28:18Speaker 3: a joy in a glee nationally about this because of
- 28:23Speaker 3: the arrogance that Lombardi and Belichick had when they came
- 28:27Speaker 3: to Chapel Hill last year. What's it like locally in
- 28:31Speaker 3: the triangle, Like, how do you feel? How do the
- 28:34Speaker 3: Heels fans that Utah be We talked to a bunch,
- 28:37Speaker 3: but how do the Heels fans you talk to feel
- 28:39Speaker 3: because nationally, they all are convinced that he has done
- 28:43Speaker 3: after the season and that it'll be two and through
- 28:45Speaker 3: and he might not even make it to the season.
- 28:47Speaker 4: Like, do you view it that way or not that simple?
- 28:52Speaker 5: It all depends on how they play. I mean, the
- 28:54Speaker 5: schedule's hard. I looked at the schedule and I'm not
- 28:58Speaker 5: a I don't like to go, well, they're gonna lose this,
- 29:02Speaker 5: lose this, win this, win this, right. I don't do
- 29:04Speaker 5: that because you just don't know at the beginning of
- 29:06Speaker 5: the season. We have no idea what each team is
- 29:08Speaker 5: gonna look like. Hey, somebody gave Stanford the first place
- 29:12Speaker 5: vote even though they were picked seventeen. Probably Lombardi, somebody, somebody,
- 29:19Speaker 5: maybe Andrew Luck voted. Somebody sees value in the Stanford Cardinal.
- 29:25Speaker 5: Here's the thing. I looked at their schedule, and because
- 29:29Speaker 5: if you flip the home and road splits in the ACC,
- 29:34Speaker 5: you can make a case that with a better roster,
- 29:36Speaker 5: and I've been told that the roster is better. You
- 29:39Speaker 5: can make a case for five or six wins if
- 29:41Speaker 5: you flipped the home and road. But we can't do that.
- 29:45Speaker 5: They play three incredibly losable non conference games TCU in Ireland,
- 29:52Speaker 5: Notre Dame, and at Connecticut for some silly reason in November,
- 29:57Speaker 5: playing at Connecticut.
- 30:00Speaker 4: About that game.
- 30:03Speaker 5: One game and they play, I mean they their conference
- 30:08Speaker 5: schedule is murderous. Uh. If you could have one of
- 30:13Speaker 5: those in the Accuh, they play a really really hard
- 30:18Speaker 5: conference schedule. I mean I can see two and ten
- 30:21Speaker 5: easy for this group, and one of those wins would
- 30:24Speaker 5: be East Tennessee State. So I mean, we couldn't figure
- 30:28Speaker 5: out a way to get Charlotte back on the schedule.
- 30:30Speaker 3: Come on, fellas, Oh my god, ni fans all the summer.
- 30:37Speaker 4: And then they nodded their heads. Okay, yeah they did.
- 30:43Speaker 5: I used that on the show the other day, so
- 30:45Speaker 5: I figured I'd run the joke back. Look, you could
- 30:49Speaker 5: make a case for two wins and if they go
- 30:52Speaker 5: to and ten, Uh, there's not going to be a
- 30:55Speaker 5: year three. I don't think they have the stomach for it.
- 30:58Speaker 5: This has been I fear it has been wasted money.
- 31:02Speaker 5: But if they can somehow make some of these losses close,
- 31:09Speaker 5: win five games even, which would leave him short of
- 31:12Speaker 5: a ball. But against that schedule, if they compete and
- 31:17Speaker 5: they played, you know, even lose some tough games against
- 31:20Speaker 5: good competition. I could see the case for letting Bill
- 31:24Speaker 5: run it back. I don't think Lombardi's coming back. I
- 31:26Speaker 5: think that ship sailed. I think when these types of
- 31:29Speaker 5: things don't ever really end up as ah, nothing, nothing
- 31:35Speaker 5: of the sort, they wouldn't go through the process of,
- 31:39Speaker 5: you know, putting them on a leave of absence paid
- 31:41Speaker 5: or otherwise if it wasn't serious enough to ultimately spell
- 31:47Speaker 5: his demise. But the overarching point about North Carolina is
- 31:52Speaker 5: that last year there was a football fascination that was
- 31:57Speaker 5: derailed by everything Jordan Hudson, and this year there has
- 32:02Speaker 5: been no football fascination. And the only reason why North
- 32:07Speaker 5: Carolina is coming up now is because of Mike Lombardi.
- 32:11Speaker 5: Everybody moved on and all those people who are talking
- 32:14Speaker 5: about this with glee. I mean, this is really goes
- 32:18Speaker 5: folds back into last year. Is that it's Belichick who's
- 32:21Speaker 5: in national you know, we can just call him a celebrity,
- 32:25Speaker 5: so NFL media is still hyper focused on.
- 32:28Speaker 1: What he's doing.
- 32:30Speaker 5: I wish last year had gone better, even though they
- 32:32Speaker 5: were playing better at the end of last year, if
- 32:35Speaker 5: they had won, they had made a bowl game, it
- 32:37Speaker 5: would have been a better jumping off point. But yeah,
- 32:41Speaker 5: I kind of feel like this is the this is
- 32:43Speaker 5: the end of it. But who knows, maybe Bill will surprise.
- 32:46Speaker 2: I lost the futures because I had Bobby Patrino the
- 32:49Speaker 2: first one with an HR violation, not Lombardi.
- 32:52Speaker 4: Gosh.
- 32:53Speaker 5: I actually heard somebody say the stability after hiring Bobby Patrino,
- 32:59Speaker 5: and I went, what at? But I get it from
- 33:04Speaker 5: an offensive standpoint, the guy is the guy can coach.
- 33:07Speaker 4: You know, it's a mess. But but Trino was run
- 33:09Speaker 4: and says, this place here mess. All right?
- 33:14Speaker 3: Anyway, Goldie, you rock man. We'll talk to you next week. Brother,
- 33:19Speaker 3: all right, do you go? That is Adam gold A
- 33:21Speaker 3: couple of fun comments on the text line Charlotte fans
- 33:24Speaker 3: not really not really mad at Goldie. Ac a nin
- 33:28Speaker 3: er man says all he wants to say is don't
- 33:31Speaker 3: sleep on Will Healey Tar Heel fans East Tennessee State University. Yeah,
- 33:36Speaker 3: they brought that up on one of the national podcasts.
- 33:38Speaker 3: They were urging Will Heally to finish Bill Belichick off.
- 33:42Speaker 3: And is it week two, Fitty when you play Will
- 33:44Speaker 3: Heey's East Tennessee State team. Yes, So anyway, Will Healy's
- 33:49Speaker 3: got a chance to do so. I think they said,
- 33:50Speaker 3: will Heel's got a chance to do something real funny?
- 33:52Speaker 3: It's not of your Tario fan also Bone, speaking of funny,
- 33:56Speaker 3: I love this. Goldie was talking about people and and
- 33:59Speaker 3: I'm sure everybody can relate to this. People that aren't
- 34:02Speaker 3: really good at their job, but they keep getting jobs,
- 34:05Speaker 3: and they often will get better jobs. Uh air at
- 34:08Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin, I think used to be like that early
- 34:10Speaker 3: in his career. Right a yes, yes, Air from Malay
- 34:15Speaker 3: Creek has another way to say it. Some turns always
- 34:18Speaker 3: float up.
- 34:19Speaker 4: Well, there you go.
- 34:21Speaker 3: That is profound, sir, that is profound. Speaking of turns,
- 34:24Speaker 3: it's time for fiity. I could resist. I couldn't resist
- 34:30Speaker 3: that segue. Fitty.

- 35:26Speaker 6: remember that trade the Raptors made for Kawhi Leonard that
- 35:30Speaker 6: got halted because of the investigation into Kawhi signing with
- 35:34Speaker 6: the LA Clippers. Yes, this investigation could go into twenty
- 35:39Speaker 6: twenty seven.
- 35:39Speaker 4: Now, my goodness, hilarious.
- 35:42Speaker 6: So the trade that got halted because the NBA said, hey,
- 35:46Speaker 6: if the Raptors make the trade, you deem you can
- 35:48Speaker 6: be deemed punishable by the league.
- 35:50Speaker 3: They put the trade on hold.
- 35:52Speaker 6: Well, now this investigation might last.
- 35:54Speaker 2: Still trying to find next year. They're still trying to
- 35:57Speaker 2: fight Kawhi's time card from that job.
- 36:00Speaker 3: Pablo Torri had his investigation wrapped up months ago.
- 36:03Speaker 4: Just lean on his investigation just took Pablo eight minutes. Seriously,
- 36:08Speaker 4: all right.
- 36:08Speaker 2: When we come back here on the Mack and Bone
- 36:10Speaker 2: Radio program on this Thursday, J C. Horn talks about
- 36:14Speaker 2: playing in the slot more. How do we feel about that?
- 36:18Speaker 2: And it doesn't sound like a Mike Jack extension is
- 36:21Speaker 2: in the works. Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
- 36:45Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I'm still feeling it out. I'm still
- 36:47Speaker 7: feeling it out. They did a similar thing with Jaylen
- 36:50Speaker 7: Ramsey in this scheme when he was in LA. So
- 36:52Speaker 7: just seeing the plays he made at that position, at
- 36:55Speaker 7: the nickel position and moving around, it's kind of made
- 36:58Speaker 7: me more open to it, and you know, I'm starting
- 36:59Speaker 7: to get a good feel for it, and it's it's
- 37:01Speaker 7: pretty fun playing in there instead of just sitting in
- 37:03Speaker 7: the Boundaryard.
- 37:04Speaker 3: Game Sports Radio ninety two to seven WFNZ.
- 37:10Speaker 1: That is j C.
- 37:10Speaker 3: Horn, all right. So he has not talked about this bone.
- 37:13Speaker 3: There have been you know, you know accounts, there's been
- 37:17Speaker 3: tweets about it, there's been you know, mentioned from a
- 37:20Speaker 3: lot of the reporters that have covered the Panthers off
- 37:22Speaker 3: season workouts and you know the start of training camp
- 37:26Speaker 3: about hey, they're slotting j C. Horn to play nickel corner,
- 37:29Speaker 3: you know, over the against the slot receiver, and they
- 37:32Speaker 3: have not done that much in the past. Matter of fact,
- 37:35Speaker 3: I think the snapcount for JC in the slot last
- 37:37Speaker 3: year was nine. Like he did not go in there, right,
- 37:41Speaker 3: So it was either you know, Smith Wade or Thornton
- 37:44Speaker 3: or one of those guys or Merrick A lot of
- 37:45Speaker 3: times is in the you know, big nickel role. This
- 37:48Speaker 3: one's interesting and JC started talking about it yesterday and
- 37:52Speaker 3: I just you know, I'm I'm salivating a little bit.
- 37:57Speaker 3: I'm already excited about this defense and the new weapons
- 37:59Speaker 3: we have. This is a new tool here for AVO
- 38:02Speaker 3: to use. Bone And the thing that really made me
- 38:05Speaker 3: excite it is when JC talked about more stuff behind
- 38:09Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage. He's physical in the run game.
- 38:12Speaker 3: He's not afraid to hit, and that's what you need
- 38:14Speaker 3: with that slot corner. He's playing right there outside the edge,
- 38:18Speaker 3: also blitzing more blitzing. He's a real good blitzer, but
- 38:22Speaker 3: he's used sparingly in that role. Get him closer to
- 38:25Speaker 3: the quarterback and let him blitz from there. So I
- 38:28Speaker 3: don't expect it Bone, I don't even think it'll be
- 38:30Speaker 3: half the time, but it is pretty enticing if one
- 38:34Speaker 3: of the young bucks can hold up on the outside.
- 38:36Speaker 2: For him, it gets him more involved, right because with
- 38:39Speaker 2: his role, teams will often not throw his way, so
- 38:43Speaker 2: it almost forces the action of JC being able to
- 38:47Speaker 2: make more play. So I think it's a very smart
- 38:49Speaker 2: move back and that also is going to put some
- 38:52Speaker 2: trust in the other corner right when he's in the
- 38:54Speaker 2: slot and not Mike Jack but the one that's going
- 38:57Speaker 2: to be on the other side. Oh yeah, that's whether
- 38:59Speaker 2: it's a Corey Thorpe, whoever that may be. Will Lee
- 39:01Speaker 2: will lead somebody like that, So that's gonna put a
- 39:04Speaker 2: lot of trust in them when Horn is playing the nicolspots.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Cassidy Hill did a great article about this at Panthers
- 39:10Speaker 3: dot Com. I mean she went back to South Carolina,
- 39:12Speaker 3: like freshman year, he was in the slot a bunch,
- 39:14Speaker 3: but other than that, not really, so it's been a
- 39:16Speaker 3: minute for him. But she said, based on what she's
- 39:19Speaker 3: seen in practices and stuff, will Lee looks like the
- 39:22Speaker 3: early favorite as a fourth round rook to go on
- 39:26Speaker 3: the outside when Jc's in the slot. Now Thornton can
- 39:29Speaker 3: play out there too, but that's an interesting battle bone
- 39:31Speaker 3: because they're like there's battles for outside snaps, now inside
- 39:35Speaker 3: snaps when Horn's outside, So those corner battles are.
- 39:39Speaker 2: Blan be interesting ban and a seatbelt on the same side.
- 39:42Speaker 2: There you go, baby, how about you?
- 39:43Speaker 3: I did not see this. How about y'all showed me
- 39:46Speaker 3: J C. Horn You can see through Kelly Bardik Kelly
- 39:49Speaker 3: Bartiic had this scoop on Twitter. He has seat belt
- 39:52Speaker 3: thigh pads, so it looks like like you can see
- 39:55Speaker 3: like through his uh you know, uniform pants. The thigh
- 39:59Speaker 3: pad has a little mini seat belt on there.
- 40:02Speaker 2: Is sweet right there. What are they going to send
- 40:04Speaker 2: those in the teams? So I'd wear those during the games?
- 40:07Speaker 4: Dude?
- 40:07Speaker 3: I mentioned Will Lee, Will Lee Mike Jack said yesterday
- 40:11Speaker 3: Will Lee calls talks about how old he is. Mike
- 40:14Speaker 3: Jack's twenty nine, by the way, he's not even thirty,
- 40:16Speaker 3: ye and he talks about how old Mike Jack is.
- 40:18Speaker 3: He's a rookie, he's young, he said. He said, Mike
- 40:21Speaker 3: Jack went when he told Will Lee he went to
- 40:24Speaker 3: Miami that Will Lee asked him, were you on that
- 40:27Speaker 3: great O two Kyne's team?
- 40:29Speaker 4: Oh my, how old do you think he is?
- 40:31Speaker 1: Oh?
- 40:32Speaker 3: My god, so slanderous man. That is Slanderer's Uh so,
- 40:36Speaker 3: that's gonna be interesting. I also thought there's a cool
- 40:39Speaker 3: reference comparison for Horn in the slot. He's such a big,
- 40:43Speaker 3: strong corner. It's like, you know, he can handle the
- 40:45Speaker 3: physicality in there, you know.
- 40:47Speaker 4: So I'm intrigued. And who has he been talking to
- 40:50Speaker 4: about this.
- 40:51Speaker 3: Jayalen Ramsey says he's done Ramsey for a while, and
- 40:54Speaker 3: Jalen Ramsey bone when Avera was the DB's coach. In
- 40:58Speaker 3: the Super Bowl year with the Rams, Jalen Ramsey played
- 41:01Speaker 3: thirty of his snaps in the slot. And he's been
- 41:04Speaker 3: talking to Jalen Ramsey in this defense. You know what's
- 41:08Speaker 3: the key to it. Anyway, Let's listen to what jac
- 41:10Speaker 3: had to say about that. You talked to Jalen Ramsey
- 41:13Speaker 3: after they showed you those kind ups were.
- 41:16Speaker 7: Not Yeah, I've been talking to Jayalen since, like I said,
- 41:19Speaker 7: since a rookie. We got the same agent, and I
- 41:22Speaker 7: got a chance to get with him this off season.
- 41:23Speaker 7: We got some work in and I just talked about
- 41:26Speaker 7: talk to him about what they were trying to do
- 41:27Speaker 7: and how he how he thought, how he played in
- 41:30Speaker 7: the slot, how he thought of the techniques. I mean,
- 41:33Speaker 7: is in serving me well so far?
- 41:34Speaker 2: I with that free you potentially to make plays, I guess,
- 41:38Speaker 2: because you're going to both directions.
- 41:40Speaker 5: When they're throwing at you.
- 41:42Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean just being able to, you know, make
- 41:44Speaker 7: plays in the past game in the slot, in the
- 41:45Speaker 7: ring game, playing behind the line of scrimmage. A little more,
- 41:48Speaker 7: you know, blitzing a little more. It would make it
- 41:50Speaker 7: a little bit more fun.
- 41:51Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I love it. Avaro, get that mad SIGNE,
- 41:54Speaker 4: get your mad scientists on a varo.
- 41:56Speaker 2: I what's a good sign this offseason is the coaching
- 42:00Speaker 2: staff willing to evolve and adapt. Whether it's canalist and
- 42:04Speaker 2: play calling. It's hey, let's get t mac moore in
- 42:07Speaker 2: the slot. It's hey, jc's great. Can we get more
- 42:11Speaker 2: out of him by getting him closer to the line
- 42:13Speaker 2: for more maybe plays on the ball. If you will,
- 42:17Speaker 2: the ability to adapt and say we're not just going
- 42:19Speaker 2: to rest on standstill, man, that's a good sign that
- 42:21Speaker 2: the staff's always moving forward.
- 42:22Speaker 3: You can't stand still. I will say this though, with
- 42:24Speaker 3: the brassl injuring and it sounds like eight weeks with
- 42:27Speaker 3: the tear of the LCL and the left knee, but
- 42:30Speaker 3: that might I wonder if that puts on hold the
- 42:33Speaker 3: idea of more slot snaps for Team MAT because it
- 42:35Speaker 3: sounded kind of contingent on Brasle being in the game
- 42:37Speaker 3: on the outside. But we'll see. DJ says seatbelt thigh
- 42:42Speaker 3: pads are cool until someone Oh no, I can't read that.
- 42:47Speaker 4: Yep, I can't read that.
- 42:49Speaker 3: Where's the other one? There is one clean one.
- 42:51Speaker 4: Mac.
- 42:52Speaker 3: That seatbelt thigh pad is great until you get absolutely
- 42:55Speaker 3: toasted and the national TV camera zooms in.
- 42:58Speaker 4: On it, and then someone and then someone memes toast
- 43:01Speaker 4: instead of the sea belt. We're in to Boe.
- 43:04Speaker 3: I almost went ron Burgundy and read a very dirty
- 43:08Speaker 3: text on the out of the tax Lottie Hall says,
- 43:10Speaker 3: you get Fitty some sea through uniform pants.
- 43:12Speaker 4: He won't be single for a long Oh god.
- 43:14Speaker 6: Hey, the dude sent the thong last year one enough,
- 43:17Speaker 6: I needed a new one for this upcoming year. Why
- 43:20Speaker 6: not just give me some sea through pants instead. I'll
- 43:22Speaker 6: dance my ass off in those on Victory Monday.
- 43:24Speaker 2: And I tell you that's the creepiest thing ever. Said
- 43:26Speaker 2: the guy that sent me the thong last year reached
- 43:28Speaker 2: back out again. Whoever is given? When did Garcia? Did
- 43:32Speaker 2: Garcia give them tho Garcia's friend friend? Okay, Garcia's got
- 43:36Speaker 2: a thong dealer.
- 43:36Speaker 6: Bro.
- 43:37Speaker 3: If you're Fitty's thong dealer, you ain't doing any favors.
- 43:39Speaker 3: I'm telling you are not helping society in Charlotte. I'm
- 43:42Speaker 3: telling you right now. And see through pants dealer, you
- 43:45Speaker 3: ain't either all right, all right, we gotta to play
- 43:48Speaker 3: one of these punch. I feel back for the sales.
- 43:50Speaker 3: When I just walked by the studio Mickey Mickey out
- 43:53Speaker 3: of the Yeah, we getting some weird looks for Mickey
- 43:55Speaker 3: this morning. But anyway, and I think she bypassed us
- 43:58Speaker 3: well right down hr by the way sadly. All right,
- 44:00Speaker 3: tell out to Onebardy for us. All right, So we
- 44:04Speaker 3: got to let you hear what Mike Jack said. Why
- 44:06Speaker 3: does every panther conversation Bone start with the best intentions
- 44:10Speaker 3: and just and in tangent Ville, every every conversation we have.
- 44:14Speaker 4: That's true, that's true.
- 44:15Speaker 3: All right, Let's go to Mike Jack real quick, because
- 44:17Speaker 3: he got real yesterday about the contract and his situation.
- 44:22Speaker 3: When you listen to his comments yesterday, it just doesn't
- 44:25Speaker 3: sound Did we talk to Dan about this yesterday and said,
- 44:27Speaker 3: Mike understands where we're at, but it really doesn't sound
- 44:31Speaker 3: Bone like anything's going to happen and that they're gonna
- 44:34Speaker 3: let him play this thing out in his final year.
- 44:36Speaker 3: Listen to Mike Jack, it's a business.
- 44:39Speaker 8: So regardless of how I think and how I feel,
- 44:42Speaker 8: like they have a plan, I have to make sure
- 44:44Speaker 8: my ball is great enough to where if they do
- 44:47Speaker 8: say they don't want me here, I go somewhere else
- 44:49Speaker 8: and play good football. Like just how like Seattle traded
- 44:53Speaker 8: me here. If I was in my feelings about that,
- 44:56Speaker 8: then by now I won't even be here. So it's
- 44:58Speaker 8: kind of like just focus on the day and like
- 45:01Speaker 8: clean up the stuff you messed up today and at
- 45:04Speaker 8: some point, you know, like the money gonna come, because
- 45:07Speaker 8: the money is really just for like life after football,
- 45:09Speaker 8: Like if I signed for two million to day, I
- 45:14Speaker 8: stay got practice tomorrow, Like I can't go on vacation,
- 45:17Speaker 8: So it ain't nothing really to worry about, Like sorry.
- 45:20Speaker 4: Sorry if the labor is but just verifying have they
- 45:24Speaker 4: told you that they're not going to extend you prior
- 45:27Speaker 4: to the season?
- 45:27Speaker 1: Was at just your.
- 45:28Speaker 8: Reason that we haven't said nothing? Nothing was said, so
- 45:32Speaker 8: there you go.
- 45:32Speaker 3: Nothing was said. It sounds like there's really not, you know,
- 45:35Speaker 3: much dialogue or maybe no dialogue.
- 45:37Speaker 2: Is there any tieing back of JC playing some slot
- 45:40Speaker 2: this year and Will Lee as a rookie playing more
- 45:44Speaker 2: than maybe we anticipated because they want to test out
- 45:47Speaker 2: Will Lee and maybe maybe he's the ultimate Mike Jack replacement.
- 45:51Speaker 2: With Horn as the one two guys.
- 45:52Speaker 3: Yeah, it's first of all, like if will Lee pops
- 45:55Speaker 3: up there, because they could just put Corey Thornton or
- 45:58Speaker 3: Smith Wade in the slot and keep jac outside, so
- 46:00Speaker 3: you feel like bone it could be because they feel
- 46:03Speaker 3: good about Lee right like, oh wait, he might he
- 46:06Speaker 3: can handle some of might be the future of a starter.
- 46:09Speaker 3: And when they drafted him, we definitely talked about it, like,
- 46:12Speaker 3: you know, could him or Corey Thornton? Like are they
- 46:15Speaker 3: not paying Mike Jack because they want to see what
- 46:17Speaker 3: the young guys have. I also think if they want
- 46:19Speaker 3: to see if and what they have to pay Bryce,
- 46:22Speaker 3: I ain't Fitty brought this up the other day. It's
- 46:24Speaker 3: a good point, like the Bryce thing. You know, Mike Jack,
- 46:28Speaker 3: I said, you know, offer him two years thirty million.
- 46:31Speaker 3: He talked yesterday about it feels like I'm always on
- 46:34Speaker 3: one year deals. I've never really I've always playing for
- 46:37Speaker 3: my contract. So I wonder if you could get him
- 46:39Speaker 3: to bite on a good two year, thirty million dollar deal.
- 46:42Speaker 3: But the point about Bryce, it's like they don't know
- 46:45Speaker 3: right now are we going to be giving him fifty
- 46:47Speaker 3: million plus a year?
- 46:48Speaker 4: Are we not?
- 46:49Speaker 3: So maybe that is also holding stuff up but it
- 46:51Speaker 3: sounds like he's about ready to play as a contract year.
- 46:54Speaker 3: And you said it earlier, Bone, I ain't betting against
- 46:55Speaker 3: that dude balling man him.
- 46:57Speaker 2: On a contract year. I expected the big year at
- 46:59Speaker 2: him to the point where he may price himself out
- 47:01Speaker 2: of what the Panthers because they're in paying JC. There's
- 47:04Speaker 2: a lot of money tied up in this defense already,
- 47:06Speaker 2: whether it's Horn Brown, Mary's coming up at some point
- 47:09Speaker 2: right campaign. You've got Lloyd, You've got Phillips. I can't
- 47:12Speaker 2: pay everything. Got a lot of you got a lot
- 47:13Speaker 2: of kind of high price. Most of the high priced
- 47:15Speaker 2: guys are on that side of the ball when we
- 47:18Speaker 2: come back. Some fans continue to call Bs on the
