Speaker 1: the text line DVR, Dave returns, we should have done
3:06
Speaker 1: Layer of versus Granny pat on Lady's Day on the
3:08
Speaker 1: text line, but apparently Granny couldn't do today. She said
3:11
Speaker 1: it did not fit her schedule today. I don't know
3:13
Speaker 1: what that schedule would be.
3:15
Speaker 4: Moonshining, crackers, crackers get involved in this.
3:23
Speaker 3: It's right up there with wine and cheese, moonshine shining,
3:26
Speaker 3: some oyster soup crackers. Oh my goodness, I don't know
3:30
Speaker 3: about you. I am at the point with fan round
3:32
Speaker 3: tables where Granny has a spot in my lineup if
3:36
Speaker 3: she wants it. Every time she gets the first she
3:38
Speaker 3: gets the first. She's the franchise QB at a round table.
3:41
Speaker 3: We're trying to we're trying to find people that can
3:46
Speaker 3: more options to do it. So we're gonna try out
3:48
Speaker 3: pet content. This is a complete unknown, but he if
3:52
Speaker 3: he translates his personality from the text line to the
3:55
Speaker 3: phone line, he'll be great. We have no idea how
3:57
Speaker 3: he sounds, We have no idea what it takes. They're
3:59
Speaker 3: gonna well, we do. We got to know that part
4:02
Speaker 3: of it. But he is a negative ninny. I mean,
4:04
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest with you. We put a guy,
4:06
Speaker 3: a Panther fan that is so joyous his laugh bone
4:10
Speaker 3: is uh is just magical. And then we put a
4:13
Speaker 3: guy that just seems like this seems miserable. Yes, that's
4:16
Speaker 3: Stevie or Dave laughing, and Pakante you seem miserable when
4:20
Speaker 3: it comes to the Panthers.
4:21
Speaker 1: So anyway, let's get it on. Just before you get started,
4:24
Speaker 1: you went after me the other day for having a straw.
4:26
Speaker 1: Now I've got a water jug today and it's a problem.
4:28
Speaker 1: I'm drinking water today. Terror le me bar one of
4:31
Speaker 1: her jugs? Is this a problem? One of her jugs? Hey,
4:33
Speaker 1: that's stupid. Don't talk, that's personal. Just a problem today.
4:36
Speaker 1: Back I get go ahead and do it, man, guy,
4:39
Speaker 1: I don't want to make you incoortable wile using a
4:41
Speaker 1: straw on the water. It's the coffee that I don't know,
4:44
Speaker 1: but anyway, coffee is right here. Go ahead and do
4:46
Speaker 1: your thing, baby, go ahead and do your thing.
4:48
Speaker 3: Because we got to talk unfortunately about Chris Brazzle being
4:52
Speaker 3: out for the season. If you list listened yesterday to
4:56
Speaker 3: the show and then we're not exposed to any more
4:59
Speaker 3: sports media since then, this is news to you. This
5:04
Speaker 3: is a plot twist, and this one is just this
5:08
Speaker 3: is a Hits, keep on coming situation. So when he
5:11
Speaker 3: was hurt on practice on Wednesday, they did like a
5:15
Speaker 3: walk through yesterday, no practice yesterday. The practice on Wednesday
5:19
Speaker 3: was hurt, He's carted off. Joe Person reports that it
5:24
Speaker 3: is a moderate tear of the LCL and that he
5:28
Speaker 3: will be out for eight weeks. But it also was
5:31
Speaker 3: reported he is seeking a second opinion. Normally, when athletes
5:37
Speaker 3: seek a second opinion, it is because man, I don't
5:40
Speaker 3: want to be out that long, right, I don't like
5:43
Speaker 3: what you're telling me because I want to play football.
5:47
Speaker 1: This no one gets a second opinion on good news.
5:49
Speaker 3: This second opinion ends up saying he needs surgery on
5:53
Speaker 3: the knee. That they can't just you know, let it
5:56
Speaker 3: heal for eight weeks. They need to go with the
5:58
Speaker 3: surgical option. So now he and the Panthers together have said, okay,
6:03
Speaker 3: let's go with that option. So he is now out
6:07
Speaker 3: for the season instead of just eight weeks. So we
6:11
Speaker 3: can't even make it the FanFest bone without two key
6:13
Speaker 3: contributors out for the season. And that doesn't even mention
6:17
Speaker 3: you know that your two starting tackles from the division
6:19
Speaker 3: champs won't play to start the season.
6:22
Speaker 1: We're not even until August, and this is the second
6:24
Speaker 1: week in a row. We're talking about a young X
6:26
Speaker 1: factor guy who he's spent a lot of time mentioning
6:29
Speaker 1: in that realm not being there for the season. I
6:32
Speaker 1: was worried about him into the season, mac almost having
6:36
Speaker 1: a lost year. I did not think that yesterday when
6:38
Speaker 1: talking about this, there was a possibility of having an
6:42
Speaker 1: actual lost year. So now Brasl goes on the worry
6:46
Speaker 1: list where Jonathan Brooks has been the last couple of years,
6:49
Speaker 1: because he loses the year. When a rookie loses the year.
6:52
Speaker 1: That's a problem. Now he's going to be behind, So
6:54
Speaker 1: not his fault. But now as we thought we had
6:59
Speaker 1: a guy in the reces room that could really compliment
7:03
Speaker 1: the two main guys. Now Brasel's got to go on
7:06
Speaker 1: the question the list because of injuries.
7:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, and all the dreams of hey, this guy can
7:11
Speaker 3: take the top off the defense, and then when he
7:13
Speaker 3: does that, it not only gives us big plays, but
7:16
Speaker 3: then the safety comes over the top and then everybody
7:19
Speaker 3: else eats on the underneath, right, like all that whole thing.
7:22
Speaker 3: Now I'm not you know, it is kind of out
7:25
Speaker 3: the window now. I just I also just have so
7:29
Speaker 3: many questions about the process of this, Like was it
7:34
Speaker 3: the I guess it was a team doctors that originally
7:37
Speaker 3: told him, hey, just let it heel up, it's a
7:41
Speaker 3: moderate tear, like you know what I'm saying. Bone, He
7:44
Speaker 3: went and got a second opinion and it got worse news,
7:47
Speaker 3: Like it's just you know what I mean, It's just
7:48
Speaker 3: it's weird.
7:49
Speaker 1: I don't know it.
7:50
Speaker 3: It is bizarre because again, usually the second opinion is
7:54
Speaker 3: I want to play.
7:55
Speaker 1: I don't want to be out that long. So I
7:57
Speaker 1: don't know.
7:58
Speaker 3: I just have questions I don't know if to ever
7:59
Speaker 3: be answered about the whole process or whatever, but I
8:04
Speaker 3: will not. I just want to let you know I
8:06
Speaker 3: ain't gonna be a cry baby today on this radio
8:08
Speaker 3: show about this injury. Like I feel bad for for Chris,
8:12
Speaker 3: I feel bad for the kid. He seems like a
8:14
Speaker 3: really good kid. Was a Panther fan growing up, so
8:16
Speaker 3: that makes me love him even more. And he does
8:19
Speaker 3: have a skill set that we don't have. But I'm
8:22
Speaker 3: not gonna sit here and act bony like you ain't
8:24
Speaker 3: gonna see me go to that sheet over there and
8:26
Speaker 3: write my wins down any less.
8:28
Speaker 1: It's next man up.
8:30
Speaker 3: Team Excel, step up, step up, please, it'd be nice
8:34
Speaker 3: to god, it'd be nice if you could. But Tea
8:36
Speaker 3: Mac and Coker are both gonna be better this year.
8:39
Speaker 3: Bryce is looking great in training camp. I am not
8:42
Speaker 3: gonna sit here and act like a weenie like I
8:44
Speaker 3: did last week. Now, some Panther fans, I see you there,
8:48
Speaker 3: there's some weenie stuff going on. Bone about it, like
8:51
Speaker 3: like we lost Randy Moss, you know what I mean. Yeah,
8:54
Speaker 3: we don't even know how good he would have been
8:57
Speaker 3: this year. So I am going to choose the key.
9:00
Speaker 3: I don't know about you. I'm gonna choose to keep
9:02
Speaker 3: pounding instead of to keep pouting. Option on this injury.
9:05
Speaker 1: Personally, I would describe it as disappointing, frustrating, but not detrimental.
9:10
Speaker 1: That's how I describe the thing. It's not going to
9:13
Speaker 1: end the season and the hopes, but it's certainly frustrating
9:16
Speaker 1: that a young player that we couldn't wait to see
9:19
Speaker 1: that could really change some things is not in there.
9:21
Speaker 1: But again, as a rookie, you know, we're projecting what
9:26
Speaker 1: we think Braswell will be even more healthy, but honestly,
9:29
Speaker 1: we don't even ever really know what a third round
9:31
Speaker 1: rookie may do. It will not anyway, So you're right,
9:33
Speaker 1: it's frustrating, but it's not going to be what was
9:36
Speaker 1: me day on the MAC and naw, I don't mucking damon.
9:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're also not going to know our names today
9:43
Speaker 3: as well on the show. So anyway, we will talk
9:45
Speaker 3: about it. Are we panicking? Are we staying strong? I
9:48
Speaker 3: do think it's the accumulation of injuries that is hitting
9:51
Speaker 3: people right more than they like, more than Brasle himself.
9:55
Speaker 3: I think it's the accumulation the fact that, like you said,
9:59
Speaker 3: We're not even August yet and two key contributors have
10:02
Speaker 3: done for the season. Not to mention the two starting
10:04
Speaker 3: tackles aren't there. It's just there's a lot of accumulation
10:08
Speaker 3: that I think is testing the souls of Carolina Panther fans.
10:12
Speaker 1: It's the thought of there's not even where and tear
10:14
Speaker 1: and attrition on these guys, or there shouldn't be and
10:18
Speaker 1: we've already lost a few that that leads you to go,
10:20
Speaker 1: oh know, how how bad could this be? But I'm
10:23
Speaker 1: not going negative today. We're gonna try to what. We're
10:25
Speaker 1: gonna take a drive Mac to Late Positive today. That's
10:28
Speaker 1: what we're going today. We're gonna dip our piggies in
10:30
Speaker 1: the Lake Positive today. Go for a woodle swim, Sweat, Fiddy,
10:34
Speaker 1: you want to you want to take a swim and
10:35
Speaker 1: Lake Positive? Absolutely all right?
10:37
Speaker 2: Man.
10:38
Speaker 1: By the way, I have named uh Fiddy Mac the
10:40
Speaker 1: new PD of w f n Z the Perspiration Directors.
10:48
Speaker 5: For something else.
10:49
Speaker 3: No, it's you're the director of Sweat. For a second,
10:51
Speaker 3: I thought you were. You were firing Colin.
10:53
Speaker 1: I didn't know if Collins the boss, but Fiddy's role
10:57
Speaker 1: was also PDE the perspiration directory any sweating questions, any
11:02
Speaker 1: sweating concerns, that heat related issues.
11:05
Speaker 3: That sweating head was just a site, man, just a
11:07
Speaker 3: damn sight. The other day, two things bone that should
11:11
Speaker 3: not happen before August. An NFL team should not be
11:14
Speaker 3: without for the season already two key contributors like this,
11:18
Speaker 3: but also pumpkin beer and october Fest beer should not
11:21
Speaker 3: be in stores. I'm going, I'm going to I'm going
11:24
Speaker 3: at the store yesterday and it's it was, it's July.
11:29
Speaker 3: It is still July, and y'all got pumpkin beer and
11:32
Speaker 3: Octoberfest like I've seen August all the time. I've even
11:37
Speaker 3: seen early August. What are we doing with pumpkin beer?
11:40
Speaker 3: Bone in July? What's next?
11:42
Speaker 1: Bone?
11:43
Speaker 3: All the pumpkin lattes and stuff, Pumpkin spice gonna start
11:46
Speaker 3: trending in late July.
11:47
Speaker 1: What are we doing as a society?
11:48
Speaker 6: What do we do?
11:49
Speaker 1: I was following one of the snack feeds on Instagram
11:52
Speaker 1: and they were tweeting out all the Halloween candy that's
11:55
Speaker 1: already coming out as well. So I think we doing man,
11:59
Speaker 1: I think the pumpkins by stuff for like the not
12:01
Speaker 1: I don't really drink it, but the the Starbucks pumpkins pies.
12:05
Speaker 1: I think it's September usually that makes sense. Yeah, no,
12:08
Speaker 1: it does. But are they going to move that up
12:10
Speaker 1: not in July as well?
12:11
Speaker 4: I'm asking, Yeah, I hope so, because this means we
12:13
Speaker 4: can have early season pumpkin patches, and guys.
12:17
Speaker 1: I think the pumpkins are still going to grow when
12:19
Speaker 1: they grow. I don't think they're going to move up
12:20
Speaker 1: the pumpkin growth even if I have to.
12:22
Speaker 4: Go to the pumpkin patch by myself this year. What
12:25
Speaker 4: Fitty's going to the pumpkins?
12:26
Speaker 1: Why is a single guy wanting to go to a
12:28
Speaker 1: pumpkin patch?
12:29
Speaker 5: I love the pumpkin patch?
12:31
Speaker 1: What what is that? What is good about a pipe?
12:33
Speaker 1: What do you do there?
12:34
Speaker 3: I have to tell you, I buy pumpkins, But what
12:36
Speaker 3: is that? How's that fun for a single guy in
12:38
Speaker 3: his twenties. I don't understand, Like I have to tell you,
12:41
Speaker 3: if I would have known, Fiddy, that you love this
12:43
Speaker 3: so much, I would have had you stand in for
12:45
Speaker 3: me when I had when my kids were little. And
12:48
Speaker 3: I'm spending college football saturdays during the early afternoon game
12:52
Speaker 3: at a pumpkin patch, just dying to leave. You go on,
12:55
Speaker 3: so you could have been a pumpkin patch pinch hitter
12:57
Speaker 3: for me. Do you go on a hay ride by yourself?
12:59
Speaker 4: Depends on how long and how much the rhyme the
13:02
Speaker 4: corn maze to get lost in the corn maz. I
13:06
Speaker 4: think the pumpkin patch is a great place to go.
13:08
Speaker 4: I I love pumpkins, I love pumpkin pie.
13:11
Speaker 5: I love to drink apple cider. Maybe you find a.
13:16
Speaker 4: Woman that's unhappy in her relationships wander a young kid.
13:19
Speaker 1: You can't find women on dating apps, on the restaurants.
13:24
Speaker 1: He wants to steal a wife, so you're gonna find
13:26
Speaker 1: a woman. You're gonna find a depressed woman wandering a
13:29
Speaker 1: pumpkin patch who has two kids. It's better than going
13:32
Speaker 1: to the grocery store.
13:33
Speaker 5: From my love, since sat Paul.
13:35
Speaker 1: As a guy who wants bought a Christmas tree with
13:37
Speaker 1: his roommate, Chubbs and mac rode that storyline out for
13:41
Speaker 1: Monte again.
13:41
Speaker 3: That's another thing I get taken away from the TV for.
13:44
Speaker 3: And single guys should never be out shopping.
13:47
Speaker 1: You save marriage misery for that. I'm gonna give you
13:50
Speaker 1: some advice if you and Flounder go to the patch
13:53
Speaker 1: together and just don't tell Mac, because it's over man.
13:57
Speaker 5: That would require exercise from flown Fund. Ain't going to
13:59
Speaker 5: the pumpkin with me.
14:00
Speaker 4: But if I have to go by myself, that's crazy.
14:03
Speaker 4: I'm going to the damn pumpkin.
14:05
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, there is a market out there for
14:08
Speaker 3: There's a new career out there for you, for single
14:11
Speaker 3: guys that are willing to tolerate this stuff that married
14:14
Speaker 3: guys with kids hate because it takes us away from sports.
14:17
Speaker 3: If you could be the pinch hitter for fathers out
14:20
Speaker 3: there and husband's Fitty and do the pumpkin patch, do
14:24
Speaker 3: the Christmas tree shopping, the strawberry farms, all that stuff.
14:29
Speaker 3: Bone that when my kids were little. And by the way,
14:31
Speaker 3: I love my wife and children so much, I feel
14:33
Speaker 3: like I need to throw that in here and miss
14:36
Speaker 3: with my bitterness. But I feel like there's an industry
14:38
Speaker 3: there Bone for Fitty or somebody that's willing to be
14:41
Speaker 3: the pinch hitter on those spots.
14:42
Speaker 1: I mean, I already watched the TV shows for Mac
14:44
Speaker 1: to talk to his wife about them. So maybe you
14:47
Speaker 1: can be the events guy. I'm the programming guy. That's
14:52
Speaker 1: just crazy. Fitty.
14:54
Speaker 3: You're young, you're single, in your twenties, get out and
14:57
Speaker 3: do actual funds there. Don't worry, you'll find a woman
15:01
Speaker 3: and you'll be miserable for the rest of your life.
15:03
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound good, does it? Go to a bar,
15:05
Speaker 1: a club, A speak easy something man? Speak easy? What
15:10
Speaker 1: what decade are you living in? Those are those are
15:12
Speaker 1: like popular?

Speaker 1: can go to. Yeah, okay, okay, all right, you know
15:19
Speaker 1: what would you know about speaking easy?
15:22
Speaker 5: Seven and four number has my back.
15:24
Speaker 4: Don't knock Fitty's next level strategy target friendly environments. A
15:28
Speaker 4: lot of single moms and single girlfriends of married moms.
15:32
Speaker 4: I think there's a market at the pumpkin patch that
15:34
Speaker 4: I could find what I'm looking for, A nice, wholesome
15:37
Speaker 4: woman that has the type of values.
15:41
Speaker 3: Go get a wholesome woman at church that there's eleven
15:44
Speaker 3: people at the church I go to.
15:45
Speaker 1: You need a new church. There's like go to a
15:47
Speaker 1: big church. That's my face. There's a place in Charlotte
15:50
Speaker 1: called Idlewild and knowe a dim whiting discrete addresses and
15:53
Speaker 1: secret passwords. Get in there, buddy.
15:55
Speaker 3: The heck is that swingers club over there or something
15:59
Speaker 3: put on earth?
16:00
Speaker 1: My man in there. You need to tell Mack please
16:03
Speaker 1: take some passport in a different name. Get my guy
16:06
Speaker 1: in there.
16:06
Speaker 3: Anyway. Fan Fest tonight at the stadium. We'll talk about
16:10
Speaker 3: it a bunch at seven o'clock. We'll talk about the
16:13
Speaker 3: fact that y'all get to see this team for the
16:15
Speaker 3: first time. Who or what are you looking to watch
16:19
Speaker 3: and what can help your panther vibes tonight? We do
16:22
Speaker 3: need to mention bone. The Braves rallied from three to
16:24
Speaker 3: zero down against the Nats last night.
16:27
Speaker 1: To win five to four.
16:30
Speaker 3: Acuna, who is back now, hits a home run all
16:33
Speaker 3: these with the go ahead two run single in this game.
16:37
Speaker 3: But all everybody wanted to talk about nationally is the
16:40
Speaker 3: fact that on ESPN Karl Ravitch was doing play by
16:43
Speaker 3: play for the game, and the whole country collectively together said, oh,
16:48
Speaker 3: they fired him. So that was the big story of
16:51
Speaker 3: last night.
16:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, Fitty asked me during the show break one of
16:54
Speaker 1: the breaks yesterday, who's doing the Braves game? I said,
16:56
Speaker 1: what's going to be Probably Mike Monico or Boog Shamby.
16:59
Speaker 1: They don't have that many guys left without Ravach, And
17:02
Speaker 1: then I was surprised to see, No, it's actually Carl Ravich, So,
17:06
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna do some dates, and he's gonna
17:07
Speaker 1: do the Little League World Series. He's gonna play out
17:10
Speaker 1: some of the contract he has left first. Not everybody
17:14
Speaker 1: would do that to someone that's laid them off, but Ravich,
17:16
Speaker 1: I guess, has been such a part of ESPN that
17:19
Speaker 1: he feels loyalty still to them, so he's gonna do it.
17:22
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess that Carl Ravich maybe end up on
17:25
Speaker 1: a new deal at some point and he has maybe
17:27
Speaker 1: a reduced role of some sorts, but I don't think
17:30
Speaker 1: my guess would be he'll still be a part of
17:32
Speaker 1: it somehow.
17:33
Speaker 3: He's a pro, right, he's a pro, and you know,
17:36
Speaker 3: while he's looking for his next opportunity, he can work
17:39
Speaker 3: a little bit.
17:40
Speaker 1: So I can understand that.
17:42
Speaker 3: I mean, when we all got canned in Jacksonville, AM
17:48
Speaker 3: six hundred, the ball was the name of the station
17:50
Speaker 3: bone that was the name of our radio station in
17:53
Speaker 3: the day and.
17:55
Speaker 1: Never been a bit of station in the ball.
17:58
Speaker 3: I know there's gonna be jokes coming. I can just
18:00
Speaker 3: imagine the jokes are gonna be written and texted into us.
18:03
Speaker 3: But anyway, we got bought out in new ownership and
18:05
Speaker 3: they're like, we don't want to do a sports station.
18:07
Speaker 3: So literally they fired everybody, but they gave us like
18:10
Speaker 3: two weeks to do a show. The rest of the way,
18:12
Speaker 3: they trusted us not to cause problems or stuff like that.
18:15
Speaker 3: Carl Ravich obviously has that sort of trust. Ryan Clark,
18:19
Speaker 3: on the other hand, but like Carl ravag can maybe
18:22
Speaker 3: finish the baseball season, Ryan Clark couldn't finish the show
18:25
Speaker 3: he was broadcasting on at that exact moment. They told
18:28
Speaker 3: him he couldn't finish a bathroom break. Slightly different treatments, No,
18:33
Speaker 3: totally different. It's a great observation, completely different, and I'm
18:36
Speaker 3: sure that will not come up at all.
18:38
Speaker 1: Boe. No, if Ryan Clark is possibly going to sue,
18:45
Speaker 1: which has been a thought going around, then I'm gonna
18:48
Speaker 1: guess this might come up.
18:49
Speaker 3: And he wait, Oh, I guarantee his attorneys were typing
18:52
Speaker 3: that in last night when they oh, shoot.
18:54
Speaker 1: You're going would shock you if Ryan Clark didn't prop
18:57
Speaker 1: up an NFL Live today all of a sudden nothing happened.
19:00
Speaker 3: Yes, that would definitely still I know what you're saying,
19:02
Speaker 3: but that would definitely still shock me.
19:04
Speaker 1: So anyway, Carl Ravich.
19:06
Speaker 3: Alive and well Man America America can rejoice.
19:10
Speaker 1: The Mack and Bone Show alive. And we'll also here
19:13
Speaker 1: during football season when we come back. Yet another computer model.
19:17
Speaker 1: This is the Panthers. We have an upset Baker Mayfield
19:20
Speaker 1: in Tampa, Derek Brown getting some love, the Saints paying
19:24
Speaker 1: the star, and a familiar face under center yesterday for
19:28
Speaker 1: the Falcons. Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
19:49
Speaker 7: It's gonna be cool. I think we last year we
19:51
Speaker 7: were the game uniforms too, so it kind of gat
19:53
Speaker 7: you like a scrimmish feel and it said night under
19:56
Speaker 7: the light. So whenever you get a chance to play
19:58
Speaker 7: football under delights is always fun.
20:01
Speaker 2: For the fans.
20:01
Speaker 5: Again, were they were so great at that playoff?
20:03
Speaker 2: Oh?
20:03
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be fun having them out there too.
20:06
Speaker 7: Like you said, the playoff game. I never seen the
20:08
Speaker 7: Bank like that, So hopefully they get they can come
20:11
Speaker 7: out and turn fan fests up a little bit.
20:14
Speaker 1: There you go.
20:15
Speaker 2: J C.
20:15
Speaker 3: Horn being asked about being back at the Bank. And
20:19
Speaker 3: this is not just a feeling right for players where
20:22
Speaker 3: it's like Bone, they walk in that stadium and maybe
20:25
Speaker 3: get the memories of dam the last time we were here,
20:27
Speaker 3: we were so close to beating the rams, knocking them off,
20:31
Speaker 3: and that place was going crazy. Because I know a
20:34
Speaker 3: lot of fans will feel that they will feel those
20:36
Speaker 3: memories of that night when we walk in there tonight.
20:40
Speaker 3: So looking forward to getting together with our Panther peeps tonight,
20:43
Speaker 3: Bone Man should be a fun event. I guess they
20:46
Speaker 3: opened the doors. We were talking about this earlier. They
20:49
Speaker 3: opened the doors at five six point thirty. They hit
20:55
Speaker 3: the field, they start kind of warming up, stretching and
20:58
Speaker 3: stuff like that. Ven thirty to eight forty five is
21:02
Speaker 3: actually the practice portion of it. In Canalist did say
21:05
Speaker 3: the other day, we intended what we did last year,
21:07
Speaker 3: try to give him scenarios where it really is kind
21:10
Speaker 3: of like a game feel without the full tackling to
21:12
Speaker 3: the ground. And then I guess there's fireworks after that
21:16
Speaker 3: at eight forty five. So that's kind of the schedule
21:19
Speaker 3: in terms of what's going on over there tonight.
21:21
Speaker 1: There's also a Legend's autograph signing before fan fast as well,
21:25
Speaker 1: so so some of your favorite players of all time,
21:28
Speaker 1: though Mac is not signing up the.
21:29
Speaker 3: Time we show up, Bone they said, Legend, oh, might
21:32
Speaker 3: you go a little too big.
21:33
Speaker 1: We did that old trick the other day when we
21:35
Speaker 1: were walking back from practice and some fans were hanging
21:38
Speaker 1: out waiting for autographs, and we said, hey, anyone want
21:41
Speaker 1: Fitty Marvel's autograph? I think what some kid I got
21:44
Speaker 1: out his pen. His dad was like, that's not weird.
21:46
Speaker 3: Put the pandam, there's no way we want. Of course,
21:49
Speaker 3: Fitty took steps towards a cab. The poor kid thought
21:52
Speaker 3: like Fitty was like the squatty fullback for the Panthers
21:55
Speaker 3: or something, you know what I mean.
21:56
Speaker 1: He had his hopes up. Hey dad, it's that way
21:58
Speaker 1: to New Pratt Hoover.
22:01
Speaker 5: I did play fullback in seventh grade.
22:03
Speaker 1: I could see that man. You know, he fullback died
22:06
Speaker 1: in a fIF dog. Your athletic career in that time
22:09
Speaker 1: period is remarkable. He was like the gym fourth back then.
22:13
Speaker 4: Well you know how I ended up playing fullback. My
22:16
Speaker 4: dad took me to the wrong neck. My dad took
22:19
Speaker 4: me to the wrong football practice. Well he's went to
22:22
Speaker 4: the wrong practice field.
22:23
Speaker 5: Mac.
22:23
Speaker 4: I was head and shoulders above the kids I was
22:26
Speaker 4: playing against, and I was running these dudes over and
22:30
Speaker 4: they thought they had something.
22:31
Speaker 5: And then we found out I was at the wrong practice.
22:33
Speaker 1: You were the fourth grade practice. It's funny as hell.
22:38
Speaker 3: He said, I'm going to the NFL, baby, And then
22:41
Speaker 3: they told him they're five years younger than you.
22:43
Speaker 6: Son. On that day, no one could stop Fitty the
22:46
Speaker 6: night train motto that his birth certificate show otherwise, and
22:52
Speaker 6: he got put where he belonged.
22:54
Speaker 5: He was a bad man.
22:57
Speaker 3: That is so good, That is so good. Oh my goodness.
23:01
Speaker 3: All right, Pecante mack practice to football practice. Yeah, so
23:05
Speaker 3: what the hell I end up at that sport? But anyway,
23:08
Speaker 3: Pecante says he's going for the fireworks tonight.
23:10
Speaker 1: He loves fireworks. How about that?
23:13
Speaker 3: Only only fireworks I want to see is Bryce Young
23:16
Speaker 3: going deep? Baby, That's what I want to see, Pecante?
23:18
Speaker 3: All right, and we'll talk about that. Turning the fan
23:21
Speaker 3: round table. Shit, you weve pumpkin patches. If so, you're
23:25
Speaker 3: in luck all right? Seven four, five, seven, nine, six ten,
23:29
Speaker 3: If you want to jump in here on the Mac
23:32
Speaker 3: and Bone Show, I actually bone him, hoping that our
23:34
Speaker 3: fellow Panther fans love fireworks and stay at the stadium,
23:38
Speaker 3: because I will be using that opportunity to get back
23:41
Speaker 3: to my car and try to avoid traffic. Oh, Yeah,
23:46
Speaker 3: walking while those fireworks are a poppin' man.
23:48
Speaker 1: You guys are getting to meet the girlfriend Tara and I.
23:51
Speaker 1: She'll be out there with me. This is big moment
23:53
Speaker 1: for me and me and Fiddy. So do you need
23:55
Speaker 1: are you you hoping to get our approval? Boe? This
23:58
Speaker 1: is like?
23:58
Speaker 3: Is this like her meeting your meeting your mom? Or
24:00
Speaker 3: is this She's not quite that important. She's excited.
24:03
Speaker 1: She's also curious to meet Fiddy to see what all
24:05
Speaker 1: the talk is about. She's gonna analyze Fiddy and figure out,
24:08
Speaker 1: all right, is he is he? Is he datable? For
24:11
Speaker 1: maybe her friends? Then for Fiddy it's a big night. Yeah,
24:16
Speaker 1: maybe her friends will going to Pumpkin Patch with you.
24:18
Speaker 6: Fit.
24:19
Speaker 5: Oh, you should have told me how to wore my
24:20
Speaker 5: Sunday best.
24:22
Speaker 1: We're not there yet. It's hours away.
24:24
Speaker 3: All right, let's uh, let's get too. But he's staying
24:28
Speaker 3: here the whole day.
24:29
Speaker 5: I think, Yeah, I'm hanging out here all day.
24:30
Speaker 1: You're looking good, net price jersey do fit.
24:32
Speaker 5: I was gonna go get my leather jacket, all right?
24:36
Speaker 1: All right?
24:37
Speaker 3: Let me come on, all right, let's run through all
24:39
Speaker 3: the all the football stuff going on here. A lot
24:42
Speaker 3: of NFC South stuff, but a couple more Panther things. Uh,
24:46
Speaker 3: So Dereck Brown finally gets some love. It took a
24:49
Speaker 3: video game Bone, It took the It took the dorky
24:51
Speaker 3: dudes that do the Madden game and the ratings for
24:55
Speaker 3: Madden to finally someone give Derek Brown his due ninety
24:59
Speaker 3: six rating in MA And this had been rumored, We
25:01
Speaker 3: had talked about this, but it's now official ninety six
25:03
Speaker 3: rating and Madden the highest rated defensive tackle.
25:07
Speaker 1: So if the.
25:08
Speaker 3: Media won't do it, if your peers won't rate you
25:11
Speaker 3: properly on a top one hundred list, let's go get
25:14
Speaker 3: those video game designers and maybe they will see Derek
25:17
Speaker 3: Brown's true worth.
25:19
Speaker 1: Bony. I wonder how far you can throw people in
25:21
Speaker 1: the video game. That's got to be a feature, doesn't it.
25:23
Speaker 1: It should be I need that to be a feature.
25:26
Speaker 1: We didn't mention this yesterday, and I should have. The
25:29
Speaker 1: Panthers were cleared of any wrongdoing Bone by the NFLPA.
25:34
Speaker 3: It was basically they looked at the video that Nick
25:37
Speaker 3: Gorton injury and just, yeah, that's just an unfortunate like accident.
25:41
Speaker 3: So I didn't really think there was probably anything there
25:44
Speaker 3: but now we know officially they will be in no trouble.
25:48
Speaker 3: Bone the draft picks. Draft picks are safe.
25:51
Speaker 1: Keep calm my babies. Everything's all good here. That I
25:54
Speaker 1: think that it was more of a story because they
25:56
Speaker 1: were the only team practicing and an injury happened. I
25:58
Speaker 1: think it just happened to be timing where because I
26:01
Speaker 1: asked you last week injuries happened all the time, why
26:05
Speaker 1: is this one being looked at so closely as opposed
26:07
Speaker 1: to all the other ones that we see. So I
26:09
Speaker 1: think it may have just been that, hey, the Panthers
26:11
Speaker 1: are practicing, there's injury. I didn't I didn't understand what
26:15
Speaker 1: was going on with that.
26:16
Speaker 3: I'm sure this probably happens with injuries in practice all
26:19
Speaker 3: the time. You know, where the NFLPA is like, I
26:22
Speaker 3: want to take a look at that. I just think
26:24
Speaker 3: Mike Florio Bone was twiddling his thumbs last weekend looking
26:27
Speaker 3: for something to do, and like you say, the Panthers
26:30
Speaker 3: are like the only team practicing, and I think it
26:32
Speaker 3: became a story like what now all thirty two teams
26:35
Speaker 3: are in camp. I would guess the NFLPA is probably
26:38
Speaker 3: going to request tapes of injuries and it won't get
26:40
Speaker 3: any publicity to your point, right, Yeah, yes, that's what
26:42
Speaker 3: I think that that's kind of the feeling I get.
26:46
Speaker 3: Bone showed me this one CBS Sports and there's a
26:51
Speaker 3: CBS Sports line model.
26:53
Speaker 1: I love when they say this, and this is not
26:55
Speaker 1: like Pete Prisco as a model, but like a analytical model. Yes,
26:59
Speaker 1: yes they they yeah, like the computer models. And they
27:03
Speaker 1: have come out with the chances to win all the divisions.
27:06
Speaker 1: The Panthers are given by this model a five percent
27:10
Speaker 1: chance to win the NFC South five percent, five percent chance.
27:15
Speaker 1: It has the Falcons that forty four percent chance they
27:18
Speaker 1: lead the model. Just because you have some something that
27:22
Speaker 1: you use, some model that spits out numbers, does it
27:25
Speaker 1: mean that you have to necessarily post said results of
27:29
Speaker 1: that model if they don't make any sense. If it
27:31
Speaker 1: was just the order, we'd be annoyed. But all right,
27:34
Speaker 1: well that that sucks. But the number of five percent
27:37
Speaker 1: is so absurd. It also happens at forty five. Who's
27:40
Speaker 1: saying that it also had your dumb computer. They had
27:43
Speaker 1: the Packers last in the North, behind the Vikings. They
27:45
Speaker 1: had the Cowboys behind the Commanders for third in the
27:49
Speaker 1: in the none of the NFC ones made a whole
27:52
Speaker 1: lot of sense CBS in your model. You don't have
27:55
Speaker 1: to necessarily put it out if it doesn't make a
27:58
Speaker 1: lot of sense. McK and I do a lot of stuff.
28:00
Speaker 1: It doesn't make a lot of sense. Doesn't mean we
28:02
Speaker 1: come on the air and just blabber and give you
28:05
Speaker 1: a bunch of BS, right, or maybe we did. Oh yeah,
28:08
Speaker 1: but you came out models. You do have a good point.
28:10
Speaker 3: Does anybody ever look at these computer models right and say, man,
28:15
Speaker 3: that stuff just looks whack?
28:17
Speaker 1: I don't know, like it hits the computer again. Are
28:19
Speaker 1: you working?
28:19
Speaker 3: Okay, let's run those numbers again. Or do they like
28:23
Speaker 3: when their computer models say different stuff?
28:25
Speaker 1: Because then it gets clickbaiting, you know what I mean?
28:28
Speaker 3: What's the more you get to sports radio guys caring
28:30
Speaker 3: too much and then you get publicity?
28:31
Speaker 1: You know, does make me wonder what's the more absurd
28:33
Speaker 1: part of that? The Panthers at five percent or the
28:35
Speaker 1: Falcons at forty five percent to win it?
28:37
Speaker 3: It's equally. It's just it's equal. It's like you flip
28:40
Speaker 3: the odds around man, as far as I'm concerned. But
28:43
Speaker 3: so anyway, there is that going on. There's a lot
28:46
Speaker 3: of NFC South News. The Saints paid Chris o Lave
28:49
Speaker 3: four years up to one hundred and thirty two million
28:53
Speaker 3: dollars for their star receiver. And I saw somebody if
28:58
Speaker 3: there was any question Bone that Ohio State is wide
29:01
Speaker 3: receiver you right now. I saw somebody tweet out all
29:05
Speaker 3: the contracts that Ohio State receivers have gotten in like
29:08
Speaker 3: the last year and a half or so. It's four
29:10
Speaker 3: contracts Bone of over thirty two million dollars per year
29:15
Speaker 3: in like the last I don't know year and a
29:16
Speaker 3: half for two years by Ohio State receivers. And by
29:20
Speaker 3: the way, the best one is yet to come. Jeremiah
29:23
Speaker 3: Smith is gonna threaten to be the first pick in
29:25
Speaker 3: the draft. And they're already talking about Chris Henry Jr.
29:29
Speaker 3: The freshman at Ohio State. They're already hyping him up
29:34
Speaker 3: man and Obuka is just getting started.
29:36
Speaker 1: We'll see. And Marvin Harrison Junior has been interesting because
29:39
Speaker 1: he hasn't necessarily been this generational guy. Maybe they thought
29:44
Speaker 1: he was so far in Arizona. But that's another guy.
29:46
Speaker 1: If he gets it going that he'll get paid big
29:48
Speaker 1: money too. So you're right, it's one after the other.
29:52
Speaker 1: That's that's never gonna end there. That pipeline. I can't
29:55
Speaker 1: stand him. But they are wide receiver you, for God's sakes,
29:58
Speaker 1: and they and they largely produced when they get to
30:03
Speaker 1: the pros. You don't have to worry too much about
30:04
Speaker 1: those guys. Big time man, big time.
30:06
Speaker 3: So in Atlanta, Tua was back practicing yesterday. Pennix is
30:11
Speaker 3: obviously still out with the leg injury. He still has
30:13
Speaker 3: not been able to get back to practice two of
30:15
Speaker 3: those the back Titans did practice. They signed Cooper Rush
30:19
Speaker 3: for their quarterback issues, but on day one bone they
30:23
Speaker 3: had this dude named Strand, undrafted free agent out of
30:26
Speaker 3: a Division two school who was the only quarterback that
30:30
Speaker 3: was healthy and in camp on their first practice on Wednesday,
30:34
Speaker 3: to throw. So Matty Ice, the president of the Atlanta Falcons,
30:40
Speaker 3: was under center throwing some passes.
30:44
Speaker 1: Here's bro, how desperate were they? Man, here's the sad part.
30:49
Speaker 1: You throwed the ball pretty well out there. He might
30:51
Speaker 1: be one of the better arms they have right now.
30:53
Speaker 3: No, I gotta be honest, Matt Matt Ryan was watching
30:56
Speaker 3: his own film saying, I might be the best quarterback
30:58
Speaker 3: we got in Atlanta.
31:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Matt Ryan. And Jack Jack Jack Strand, a
31:06
Speaker 1: real person, just Strand. That's what his name was. Jack
31:08
Speaker 1: Strand from Minnesota State, Moorhead, twenty twenty six, undrafted. Could
31:15
Speaker 1: you see Kevin Stefana They got a forty five percent
31:17
Speaker 1: chance to win the ED.
31:18
Speaker 3: That's at five percent, Kevin Stefan kind of Strand? Are
31:21
Speaker 3: you on CBS Sports? I guarantee you. Kevin Stefanski was
31:24
Speaker 3: talking to his assistants like, is it possible we should
31:28
Speaker 3: suit madam here?
31:31
Speaker 1: It might be an upgrade. It's not good a good
31:33
Speaker 1: sign back. When Stefanski looks around, it says, man, that
31:36
Speaker 1: whole Cleveland situation there, quarterback lives. I can really use
31:40
Speaker 1: the Watson Sandia door battle.
31:42
Speaker 3: By the way, the national media's obsession with that quarterback
31:45
Speaker 3: battle is annoying. And we're just starting camp, Like, what
31:49
Speaker 3: does it matter which crappy quarterback starts for the other,
31:53
Speaker 3: the crappy Cleveland Browns.
31:55
Speaker 1: I have to be honest, what does it matter? Neither
31:57
Speaker 1: one's gonna play good, neither one surrounded by much.
32:00
Speaker 3: All Right, So we gotta get to this Baker Mayfield
32:02
Speaker 3: thing because I'm not gonna lie bone. It doesn't break
32:05
Speaker 3: my heart to see two of their best players, upset
32:10
Speaker 3: with management and upset with the organization. This week you
32:14
Speaker 3: had Videvea who has asked for a trade, and most
32:17
Speaker 3: reports say, hey, the Bucks are gonna say, hey, play
32:18
Speaker 3: you play your final year out. We're not gonna we
32:20
Speaker 3: don't want to trade you. But Baker Mayfield is going
32:23
Speaker 3: into the final year of his contract. Bone he got
32:25
Speaker 3: to the podium and a presser and told everybody that, hey,
32:28
Speaker 3: things have not worked out with negotiations. I feel disrespected.
32:33
Speaker 3: I'm not happy. And Baker has a rule basically where
32:36
Speaker 3: once he gets to camp he doesn't want to talk contract.
32:40
Speaker 3: So basically he's saying, you had your chance. I'm bawling.
32:44
Speaker 3: I'm all about the team right now. He then after,
32:47
Speaker 3: as if the press conference didn't stir it up enough,
32:50
Speaker 3: he then did a one on one on ESPN with
32:52
Speaker 3: Jeremy Fowlerbone then he started giving details of the offer
32:56
Speaker 3: from the Bucks.
32:57
Speaker 8: It was all three between years, average and guarantees. Probably
33:02
Speaker 8: the most disappointing is yours didn't get off or anything
33:04
Speaker 8: over to and so when you when you're told your
33:06
Speaker 8: franchise quarterback and they handle it otherwise, that's disappointing. So
33:11
Speaker 8: I felt like I earned that. It's not a it's
33:12
Speaker 8: not a poor meat pity party over here. It is
33:15
Speaker 8: what it is.
33:17
Speaker 1: So what do you think about this bone. I think
33:19
Speaker 1: it's a continued problem for the Bucks where they have
33:22
Speaker 1: a leadership issue right now back down there. And I'm
33:25
Speaker 1: not saying it is necessarily going to aspire, But think
33:28
Speaker 1: about this. Their coaches on the hot seat, their quarterback's upset,
33:32
Speaker 1: one of their best defensive players is upset. They lost
33:36
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, well, Vonte David retired. All the leaders of
33:40
Speaker 1: the operation that makes the Bucks go in recent years
33:43
Speaker 1: are either gone or they're upset. Right now. Bucks have talent,
33:49
Speaker 1: but right now it feels like they're there's a there's
33:52
Speaker 1: a chemistry and leadership problem right now down there in Tabla.
33:57
Speaker 3: It breaks your heart too, I could tell Bony it
33:59
Speaker 3: breaks your heart. Does Baker deserve like a three year
34:03
Speaker 3: deal fifty million? Yeah, I'm just guessing, you know, like
34:07
Speaker 3: how much money? Like does he deserve that?
34:09
Speaker 1: Yes?
34:10
Speaker 3: I think so I win healthy, win healthy. I think
34:13
Speaker 3: he plays at that level. My fear intake to play
34:16
Speaker 3: so far would be his ability to stay healthy.
34:19
Speaker 1: That's the thing that might be it. But it's a
34:21
Speaker 1: catch twenty two because, yeah, he gets injured, but a
34:25
Speaker 1: lot of times about that is because he is playing
34:28
Speaker 1: so hard it's hard to get him off the field.
34:30
Speaker 1: He does everything he has for his team to their thing.
34:34
Speaker 1: He has for his team to win. He was having
34:37
Speaker 1: a top fiveitch MVP season last year to start out.
34:41
Speaker 1: I think he I think he's a franchise guy. I
34:44
Speaker 1: think that I think he's earned the money in there
34:47
Speaker 1: in Tampa.
34:48
Speaker 3: I think I think I look at it this way
34:51
Speaker 3: as a Panther fan, what what would I want? Would
34:54
Speaker 3: I want Baker locked up there? Or would I want
34:56
Speaker 3: them to go out into the uncertainty of the quarter
35:00
Speaker 3: search market, the scary quarterback search market? And I think
35:03
Speaker 3: as a Bucks hater, I think I would want them
35:05
Speaker 3: out there searching for a quarterback because you don't know
35:08
Speaker 3: what you're gonna get when you go out there and
35:10
Speaker 3: go to the draft. It's what I say about Bryce
35:12
Speaker 3: when people want to go find let's draft a QB.
35:15
Speaker 3: It's like, we know what we have in Bryce. He's
35:17
Speaker 3: getting better every year. That unknown out there might turn
35:21
Speaker 3: you on. That unknown out there could end up being
35:24
Speaker 3: horrendous too. Like so I think I would to your point,
35:28
Speaker 3: I think, like I think if Baker leaves there and
35:31
Speaker 3: they got to go searching, I think I would like that.
35:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think I would. Yeah. When we
35:36
Speaker 1: come back here on the Mac and Bone Show, you're
35:38
Speaker 1: gonna hear from a college football expert that day. Rising
35:43
Speaker 1: star in the the YouTube space, the film world. Brooks
35:47
Speaker 1: Austin joined us the other day. He's a football guy
35:51
Speaker 1: to the core. UO love him talking college football. Next
35:54
Speaker 1: on Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
36:24
Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety seven WFNZ, Mack and Bone with you
36:28
Speaker 3: fan Fest Friday. Looking forward to getting out in the
36:30
Speaker 3: bat with all of y'all in Panther Nation tonight at
36:34
Speaker 3: the stadium. We gotta do some college football here right now. Though,
36:39
Speaker 3: Bone summed him up well Man, Brooks Austin is a
36:42
Speaker 3: rising star in the college football media world. I see
36:45
Speaker 3: him on Fine Bomb a lot, and he's close to you.
36:48
Speaker 3: I think he's at ninety nine thousand followers to his
36:51
Speaker 3: YouTube channel, breaks down film really well, and he's just
36:55
Speaker 3: a football junkie and he loves college football.
36:58
Speaker 1: And we had a chance to catch up him the
37:00
Speaker 1: other day.
37:00
Speaker 3: I won six o'clockers to get a chance to hear him,
37:04
Speaker 3: we start by talking about who he is. He a
37:07
Speaker 3: Georgia or Texas guy or someone else when it comes
37:11
Speaker 3: to his choice to win the SEC.
37:13
Speaker 2: So I think, first and foremost, there's like six or
37:16
Speaker 2: seven SEC football teams that are put together well enough
37:20
Speaker 2: to maybe win this conference and ultimately be playoff teams. Right,
37:24
Speaker 2: it's the usuals. It's Georgia, Texas. I think Alabama's defense
37:28
Speaker 2: is that good, LUs Who's offense.
37:30
Speaker 1: Is that good?
37:31
Speaker 2: Ole Miss has individual talents that are that good. A
37:34
Speaker 2: and M's culture. I think this point in Mike elkos
37:38
Speaker 2: tenure is really really solid. Oklahoma has a great defense
37:42
Speaker 2: and at least a pulse offensively, so they should be
37:45
Speaker 2: in that hunt. It's a really really deep league, but
37:48
Speaker 2: I think most people settled in on Georgia and Texas,
37:51
Speaker 2: and I thought it was very interesting, Like everybody respects
37:54
Speaker 2: Texas's roster and how could you not. I think it's
37:57
Speaker 2: the most talented one to twenty two that we have
38:00
Speaker 2: in college football this year. Maybe close second Oregon. Oregon's
38:04
Speaker 2: front six on the defensive side of the football is bonkers.
38:07
Speaker 2: They've got a great returning offense as well. But like Georgia,
38:10
Speaker 2: and Texas is where everybody kind of settled. And then
38:13
Speaker 2: when you get down to it, you're like, hey, well,
38:15
Speaker 2: if Georgia and Texas don't play each other this year,
38:18
Speaker 2: and we think they're the best teams in the conference
38:21
Speaker 2: and we think it's shaping up for them to meet
38:23
Speaker 2: up in Atlanta for the SC championship game, then nobody
38:26
Speaker 2: in their right mind can pick Texas preseason to win
38:29
Speaker 2: that football game against Georgia because they just haven't. They're
38:33
Speaker 2: zero for three and a bad over three. They get
38:36
Speaker 2: their butt lifts the time they played Georgia physically, I mean,
38:40
Speaker 2: can't run the football, can't stop Georgia from running it
38:43
Speaker 2: down their throat, like there's something going on there, right,
38:47
Speaker 2: Like the higher of Will mush Champion this offseason as
38:50
Speaker 2: defense coordinator was I think two prong right. Stevens Steve
38:54
Speaker 2: Sarkisian didn't think he could fully hand over the defense
38:58
Speaker 2: last year to their defensive coordinator. And he can't be
39:01
Speaker 2: over there micro managing defense because he's the head coach,
39:05
Speaker 2: he's the CEO, and he's the offensive play caller. There's
39:08
Speaker 2: too many hats to be over there and doing quality
39:11
Speaker 2: control for defense too. So when he said, Hey, I
39:14
Speaker 2: hired Will much Champ to be the head coach of
39:15
Speaker 2: the defense. That should alleviate a lot of pressure. But
39:19
Speaker 2: I also think he hired him because, like, who else
39:22
Speaker 2: would have the secret codes for Georgia that's hireable other
39:26
Speaker 2: than Will much Champ. Like you ain't stealing Glenn Schuman,
39:29
Speaker 2: but you might be able to pay three million dollars
39:31
Speaker 2: to get much Champ up off the couch. And that's
39:33
Speaker 2: exactly what they did.
39:35
Speaker 1: What are you thinking about Arch this year? Last year,
39:38
Speaker 1: it took him a while to get going. By the
39:40
Speaker 1: end he started to pick it up a little bit.
39:41
Speaker 1: Are you thinking that this could be the Heisman? Big
39:45
Speaker 1: year for Archer? Will be kind of like last year.
39:49
Speaker 2: You know, I felt vindicated this offseason when I found
39:52
Speaker 2: out he had foot surgery. I think it's something that
39:54
Speaker 2: nobody really talked about. Everybody assumed he was hurt last
39:59
Speaker 2: year just because it looks so bad, Like the the
40:01
Speaker 2: freshman tape was really good mechanics. I'm a big mechanics guy.
40:05
Speaker 2: I don't care how you get it done. I just
40:07
Speaker 2: wanted to be done consistently, over and over and over again,
40:11
Speaker 2: because that's where accuracy comes from. If we're constantly manipulating
40:16
Speaker 2: our motions and manipulating our mechanics. We're gonna spray the football.
40:20
Speaker 2: I always tell people it's like having seven different golf
40:23
Speaker 2: swings is not ideal. You're not gonna be a good
40:26
Speaker 2: golfer if you're different, if you're you're cutting it loose,
40:29
Speaker 2: different every single time. Same thing. We'll play a quarterback
40:33
Speaker 2: and when we have a foot injury going on that
40:35
Speaker 2: requires offseason surgery that Steve Sarkisian tells us they dealt,
40:39
Speaker 2: He dealt with all of twenty twenty five. I felt
40:43
Speaker 2: vindicated because I didn't see the same football player week
40:46
Speaker 2: to week from a mechanical structure. What I did see
40:49
Speaker 2: is a dude that's tough as nails. That guy was
40:52
Speaker 2: a pincushion last year. If you watch him the way
40:54
Speaker 2: that if you watch the games the way that I
40:56
Speaker 2: watched the games, which is through an all twenty two lens,
41:00
Speaker 2: they didn't protect him at all. They didn't give him
41:03
Speaker 2: any quick and now answers. In the passing game, there
41:06
Speaker 2: was no hots built into that system. Everything was so
41:09
Speaker 2: NFL laden. Like the average depth of target skuys last year,
41:13
Speaker 2: we're fifteen to seventeen yards downfield on a down to
41:17
Speaker 2: down basis, but they couldn't protect for sixteen to seventeen
41:20
Speaker 2: yards worth the depths of routes. Does that make sense?
41:22
Speaker 2: Like there was no there was no ability to protect
41:25
Speaker 2: that guy and they didn't give him any help last year.
41:28
Speaker 2: So I think I do feel bullets on what it's
41:31
Speaker 2: going to be year three because A, I think we're
41:34
Speaker 2: finally going to be healthy for the first time in
41:36
Speaker 2: fourteen months. And B, I mean, if they can't fix
41:40
Speaker 2: the offensive line, fire everybody. They gave him everything. They
41:44
Speaker 2: gave that offense line coach Kyle Flood everything that he
41:47
Speaker 2: possibly could need to protect this investment and asset that
41:51
Speaker 2: is the quarterback. Right. They took an All acc guy
41:55
Speaker 2: out of Wake Forest. They kicked the former five star
41:58
Speaker 2: Brandon Baker into guard. He took All America from Western Kentucky.
42:02
Speaker 2: They paid Forsby to come back like our goozy, whoever
42:05
Speaker 2: it is, the left tackle that should have been a
42:06
Speaker 2: first round draft pick last year. They gave him whatever
42:09
Speaker 2: it takes to get him to come back to college
42:11
Speaker 2: and bypass fifty five million dollars to go to the league.
42:14
Speaker 2: Like they gave them everything to protect that quarterback and
42:19
Speaker 2: if they don't, it's all on the coaching and that's
42:22
Speaker 2: all that's left out there at Texas. Can we stay
42:25
Speaker 2: healthy and do we actually have good enough football coaches?
42:28
Speaker 3: Hey, give me some quick thoughts. By the way, Brooks Austin,
42:31
Speaker 3: if you're enjoyed listening to him talk ball and you
42:33
Speaker 3: can just tell he is a dude that loves it,
42:35
Speaker 3: a machine and studies the film. He is at the
42:39
Speaker 3: Film Guy Network on YouTube. His live shows are Monday
42:41
Speaker 3: through Thursday eight o'clock to ten o'clock and he's got
42:44
Speaker 3: a bunch of other videos and I know you're going
42:46
Speaker 3: to be doing a lot of quarterback breakdowns one a
42:48
Speaker 3: day in the month of August and ninety nine thousand subscribers.
42:52
Speaker 1: We got to push that to one hundred thousand. He's
42:54
Speaker 1: headed back to back going right now.
42:55
Speaker 2: Let me that I need that plaque that.
42:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, help him to help him get his plaque there. Man,
43:00
Speaker 1: this is what we want to be a little part
43:01
Speaker 1: of the awards.
43:02
Speaker 3: Let me give you a couple of quarterbacks here and
43:05
Speaker 3: give me quick thoughts on them this year. Like Leonora Sellers,
43:11
Speaker 3: I think he let's just start with selling We can
43:13
Speaker 3: move from there, let's just start with Sellers.
43:15
Speaker 1: Does he bounce back this year? In your opinion?
43:18
Speaker 2: Boys, I was on radio stations and networks up in
43:21
Speaker 2: your area last year talking about this dude winning a Heisman.
43:25
Speaker 2: Here was the problem. I probably should have known, like, hey,
43:29
Speaker 2: football guy, it's probably something to pay attention to the
43:32
Speaker 2: fact that they promoted an offensive coordinator of the eight
43:35
Speaker 2: called places twenty and sixteen and never once in his
43:38
Speaker 2: life as he called plays in college football. That should
43:41
Speaker 2: have been a red alert. That should have been a
43:43
Speaker 2: red alert for me. But I was like, you know what,
43:45
Speaker 2: he's good, he's great. Maybe they'll just, you know, keep
43:49
Speaker 2: the language the same and kind of make him comfortable
43:53
Speaker 2: with what dal Longs was. Nope, Nope, it was awful.
43:57
Speaker 2: It was so bad last year. They did attempt to
44:01
Speaker 2: make things better up front, right, they got you Carrious
44:03
Speaker 2: Peaks out of the portal from Inca State, and then
44:06
Speaker 2: unfortunately Josiah Thompson looks like he's gonna be out for
44:09
Speaker 2: the year. Uh maybe maybe Mason or is a Mason
44:12
Speaker 2: or case in Henry. Either way, Henry over there at
44:14
Speaker 2: right tackle has been playing a lot of ball for
44:16
Speaker 2: them lately, so and not bad football, so he ought
44:20
Speaker 2: to be all right whether or not they can protect him.
44:22
Speaker 2: As one thing, now, I do love the pairing of
44:25
Speaker 2: Kendall Briles and what you know, Leonoris can ultimately do
44:29
Speaker 2: you know, Kendall's been a really really good offensive coordinator.
44:33
Speaker 2: He was great when he had a mobile threat in
44:35
Speaker 2: kJ Jefferson over there at Arkansas, Like that's the last
44:38
Speaker 2: time Kendall's had a quarterback that can actually move a
44:41
Speaker 2: little bit and be a designed quarterback run guy. And
44:44
Speaker 2: they stress defenses like nobody's business. When that is the case.
44:48
Speaker 2: You could go all the way back to the Baylor
44:50
Speaker 2: years with the Brills system in RG three, like that's
44:53
Speaker 2: when they're at their best, that's when they're most comfortable
44:56
Speaker 2: as an offensive system. And there's also a lot of
44:59
Speaker 2: you know, like care urry over from the doll Logins
45:02
Speaker 2: regime and the dow Logans language and how they attack
45:05
Speaker 2: and how they teach concepts, and they share a lot
45:08
Speaker 2: of like underlings under coaches, right position coaches. There's a
45:13
Speaker 2: lot of that tree that's kind of tied together. So
45:16
Speaker 2: that makes me think there's gonna be a lot of
45:18
Speaker 2: comfortability in your first year with a coordinator and Lord
45:21
Speaker 2: knows there needs to be I think this is coordinator
45:23
Speaker 2: four for Leonora's in four years of football. That's not ideal. There.
45:28
Speaker 3: You go, great stuff from and so true about Lenora's
45:31
Speaker 3: sellers in the lack of consistency. Should have a better
45:35
Speaker 3: O line bone. I think he's got a pretty good
45:37
Speaker 3: coordinator in Briell. So I'm looking forward to seeing South Carolina.
45:41
Speaker 3: Shane Biemer had his big golf tournament. Bertie is it
45:43
Speaker 3: Bertie's with Beamer? You know what is called yesterday? Yeah,
45:46
Speaker 3: Peter Burns from ESPN was one of the big winners.
45:49
Speaker 3: But Beamer talked out there about it yesterday. It's about
45:53
Speaker 3: time for South Carolina start camp over the weekend or
45:59
Speaker 3: early next week. I mean by next week. Every every
46:01
Speaker 3: college is going to be in. I'm sure the exact day.
46:03
Speaker 3: It's either the exact day to put you on the spotlight.
46:07
Speaker 3: We're trying to go to break or whatever. Heels started
46:10
Speaker 3: practice yesterday. It is a the way Belichick told it.
46:14
Speaker 3: It's it is a four way quarterback compet competition. Edwards
46:18
Speaker 3: is the favorite, but a four way quarterback competition. Game
46:22
Speaker 3: Cock's report August sixth. In the first practice August seventh, Okay,
46:25
Speaker 3: so we got a ways to go Friday, so they're
46:28
Speaker 3: like a week behind on three.
46:30
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the Heels are week zero. Yeah on three
46:33
Speaker 1: on three has the list of every team's first fall camps.
46:36
Speaker 1: I'm a dummy, A dummy? How did I not figure
46:39
Speaker 1: that out? Kendall Briles had interesting comments yesterday too about
46:43
Speaker 1: Nick Harbor that he's never coached a player with as
46:46
Speaker 1: much raw talent as Nick Harber. You go, can you
46:48
Speaker 1: put that together? Well, we're still waiting to see, but
46:51
Speaker 1: certainly Kendall Brile's life and when we come back here
46:54
Speaker 1: on the Mac and Bone radio program, fan Fest is tonight.
46:59
Speaker 1: Fans finally get to see the squad. Who or what
47:03
Speaker 1: are you watching? For Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ
