• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I mean it's a fun YouTube watch if you ever
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: get a second to just go back, and you know,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: they got a bunch of his plays and I would
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: say half of them are on screens and you know,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: checkdowns in the flat where he's able to make somebody
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: miss and you know, when he gets a beat on it,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: he can finish. He's got finishing speed. So that's a
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: big part of his game. And you know, while we
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: know we can utilize that part, first and foremost, he's
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: a running back and just making sure that he's on
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: the right track, he's reading the runs the right way,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: pressing the blocks to help his od line out, stay
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: connected and all that that's first and foremost, and then
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: all the other things will come off of it.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: I love that Dave can Alice telling to everybody, Hey,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: if you got some free time, head on over to
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: YouTube and watch Jonathan Brooks highlights from Texas and just
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: watch him in the passing game, catch swing past his
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: screens and check downs and just go to work in space.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: And I think that will come into this conversation here
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: bone because I want to talk about the offense. We
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: have all stated that how we feel about the defense
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: and what we expect from this defense, and that we
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: expect them to be in the top ten or hope
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: for them to be in the top ten.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: And I still believe that way.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Even without Nick Gordon, we have not talked much Bone
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: about what we expect from this offense. I think it's
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: clear fans expect the defense to be the top unit.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: But we have to have a real conversation. Is this
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: offense better? If so, wide do we think it's better?
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: And do where do we think this offense? Tampa Tammy,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: get that look off your face, get that look. Just
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: trade us Vita Vea, Tampa Tammy and be done with it.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: All right, seriously, all right, any anyway.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: You need to go work on Baker's contract at Vita
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Vea's attitude, Right, you got your own problems, Tampa Tammy.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: What did the vision chams talk amongst themselves?
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: We have strung Nerve out there with her right anyway,
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: she's now, she's given.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: We are number one.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Yes, And I think one of the things, I think
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: one of the things Bone that we can have that
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: can improve this team is Jonathan Brooks, not just in
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: the running game, but in the passing game. That's an
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: element how many times Bone do we as Panther fans
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: have screen envy where you watch other teams run screens
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: and it's like.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Man, look at how that worked. It doesn't seem like
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: it works the way front. He's a dude.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: That element bone of all Bryce has to do is
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: swing it out there or check it down and it
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: could be twenty two yards like that's I think that's
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: an added element.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Security blankets have not necessarily been a thing for Bryce,
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: whether it's at the tight end spot, out of the backfield,
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: per se. So they have that there now to guys
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: that can make something out of nothing.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Players Brooks can be that.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: I think the addition of Brooks in the run game,
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Brassel's ability, as we've said numerous times, even if he's
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: not the guy making the play, being a guy you
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: have to account for down the field opening things up.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: I think Brassle and Brooks in this offense, as it
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: goes along, you know these guys. Brasle's a rookie, Brooks is.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: I mean basically that at this point he had played
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: a lot. Brooks and Brazzle being in this offense though,
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: as it goes along this season can really open these
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: up a lot.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: The way I look at this offense, Bone is I think,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: and we're asking a question, what do you expect from
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: the offense. We have talked about top ten hopes and
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: expectations for this defense with Phillips and with Lloyd added
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: what do you expect from this offense? And to tell you,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: like is it going to be better? Like does everybody
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: believe the offense is improved? Do you have question marks?
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Last year?
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Bone, it was not pretty statistically twenty seventh in points
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: per game, twenty seven in yards per game, twenty seven
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: in points per play, twenty sixteen yards per play.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: It has to get better. I would just set a
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: I would just make a simple ask.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Top twe top twenty offense, a top twenty offense and
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: a top ten defense I feel like would win this division.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I feel like it would go a long way towards
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: giving you just a little bit more from the offense.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Explosive plays are needed, and I think that goes to
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: our points about Brazl and Brooks. I think there is
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: a potential there Bone too. They this team has been
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: one of the worst teams with explosive plays. I think
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: both those guys can add to the number for us.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: But I also think it's a I think there's a
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: lot of X factors. Like on defense, there's guys on there.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I flat out believe On offense, Bone
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: would you disagree or agree with this? There's a lot
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: more guys where I'm like, there's X factors if they
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: if they do this, we're going to be in prove
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But I don't have quite
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: the same conviction.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: It's the guys we just mentioned, and it's guys like
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: you know, it's It's it's Tremble, it's Mitchell Evans, It's
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Sanders Can. Maybe it's a bi committee each game, but
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: can a tight end be a weapon more times than not?
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: For Bryce Cuba, Mac is a guy injured last year,
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: but a couple of years ago he played well enough
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: within the season to get that big contract. They need
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Suba to be that guy from two years ago. We
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: talk a lot about Brooks way he adds, but if
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: Brooks is going to come be a factor, well, can
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: we get Suba up to where he was two years ago?
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: If Cuba's that dude, how big would that be? Also,
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: if you have that combo working, that would be unbelievable.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: I think they have a chance to be a good
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: thunder and lightning duo. Right their running styles are different,
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: and I think they can really compliment each other. Well,
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: here's an area of MAC that needs to improve. Last year,
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: the Panthers were thirty six percent on third downs.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Has to go. That was twenty fifth in the league.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: That has to get it.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Has to get better, and that there's a lot of
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: reasons for that, right, Like, first of all, I would say,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: you got to do better on first and second down.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: You got to get to third and short more than
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: you did. That would be something I would say. Turnovers
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: is another thing they you know, I think it was
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: twenty fifth in third downs and twenty fifth in turnovers.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: On offense, they got to protect the ball better. They
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: got to protect the ball better, but have more explosive plays.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: And those are things Bone that sometimes there's a conflict there,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: but these are things that they have to do. I
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: have noticed Bone some resistance on my goal of being
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: a top twenty offense. Let's see here seven oh four
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: number says we're seriously hoping for just a top twenty offense.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: We're a division championship team that is lame bebop has
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: weighed in Bone. Those are a few words you do
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: not want to hear.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: I could get some time off from work today, I
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: opposed yesterday when he had time off from one.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: He says top twenty offense is what we're striving for.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: That pisses me off. I'm trying to be realistic about this.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I'm not trying to blow smoke up your damn glutes here. Yeah,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: you're not a glute smoker. I mean, I just hat.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, what would you put the expectation at Bone?
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I think twenties final.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: Look, it's not they're not going to go from where
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: they were to, you know, the greatest show on turf
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden, they're gonna it's gonna be a climb.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: They're not gonna do it all once. So if they
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: got to twenty this year, that would be big steps. Yes,
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: I think, not saying that's the end goal, but like, hey,
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: let's let's be realistic here. This show is a very
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: measured show, all right. Everyone just settled down and goes
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: one step at a time here.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I also think that they like, I don't know, I
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: don't think you're being real Like, I think what you're
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: doing bebop is. I think you're trying to be able
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: to bash Bryce. If the offense jumps up to eighteenth
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: in the league, I think you're trying to still be
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: able to bash him. I don't think when they sit
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: down over their bone, I don't think they are viewing
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: we're gonna be this explosive team that wants to win
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: thirty five thirty.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: There'll be moments.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, I watched Bryce and Stafford duel twice over
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: at the Bank, got him once, and if the defense
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: didn't let Bryce down, he would have gotten him twice.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: The league end would have beat the league mv B twice.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I think Bone, let's be honest with ourselves about how
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: we're trying to win. I think we're trying to win
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: with our defense. I think we're trying to run the ball.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I think they do believe that they can get more
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: big plays through the air. I do think they want
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: to up the explosives. But I don't think over there
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: they are thinking they're gonna be a top ten offense.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I just don't and I don't understand why that has
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: to be something that you know, Texters push back at.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: We got another Texter here, nine to eight zero number.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: This is what I hate about Charlotte Sports. We settled
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: for mediocrity. Mac want's the eighteenth best offense, so sad?
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Hey, all right, so reverse this well here, everybody, I
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: think we should be the number one offense in football
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: this year. We're gonna score forty points per game? Does
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: that sound realistic and fair to the audience? No, trying
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: to be fair to the audience, not going over the top.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: All right, what would you say this way? God, you
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: want us to go way overboard? We'll wait till the
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: first week of the season. What would you say so
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: we start to go overboard? What would you say about
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: this fitty you're scoffing back there? What would you say
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: about folks being like we gotta I'm not saying that
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: I want Bryce Young and Dave Canalis to never do
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: better than eighteenth, and I'll be fine with that. I'm
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: just saying at this point where we were last year offensively,
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: which was a bit of a disappointment, and Bryce has
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: to be more consistent. But I'm just saying that's the
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: step I'd like to at least take, is all I'm saying.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: Matt, look at some of the questions that currently exist
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: on that side of the ball. You got two new
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: starting tackles. You don't know what you have in your
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: running back room from an explosive perspective behind you. But Hubbard,
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: because we got to see if Jonathan Brooks can stay healthy.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: We need another pass catcher or two to emerge from
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: the wide receiver.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: It's tight end room.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: You've got a new play caller, like it's there's gonna
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: be some growing pains with the offense. I think they
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: want to be a ball control offense that is opportunistic
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: and explosive and efficient when they want to push the
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: football down the field. Canal has told us when we
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: sat down with him at training camp, there's a science
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: into when you throw it and where you throw it
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: down in the field. It's not just running for verts
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: all Madden. Yeah, Like, there's a whole thought process into
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: how they want to attack teams and move the football
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: down the field through the air. Mac If the defense
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: is what we think this defense can be, even with
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: the loss of scording, If they're a top fifteen to
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: eighteen offense and they average i don't know, twenty one
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: twenty two points per game, they're still gonna win a
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: lot of football games. I think I may be wrong,
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: but if they're as good defensively as we think they
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: are and as they think they are.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I would want a little more in a twenty one
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: twenty two points a game. Okay, twenty three, twenty four,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: but your point still stands fitty, thank you. If this
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: offense can make that jump and the defense is as
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: good as we think they are, we're winning the NFC South.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I truly believe that you know where. This is an
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: incremental thing bone. I'm comfortable with incremental growth. Be better
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: than last year, get to the playoffs, win around. I'd
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: love to see, But I don't need to see Bryce
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Young become Pat Mahomes. I don't need to see this
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: offense become one of the greatest in the history of football.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: I just I need incremental growth, is what I'm looking for.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: Do you have the stat handy They'll being to put
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: you on the spot, But of where the Panthers ranked
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: in plays of twenty yards or more last year, they
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: wasn't good. I to tell you I saw twenty second here,
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: but I can't figure out that's the right metric of mine.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that that don't have. It seems
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: a little higher than I thought. So that's another thing.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: They made the playoffs, won the South last year, and
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: they had very few big plays in comparison to the
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: teams I didn't make the play. You can't have everything
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: have to be a sustained long drive because that's when
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: stuff goes wrong.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Right. You need some plays and some drives where it's boom,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: touchdown and if you can and I brought up bone
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: our turnover number, that turnover number can go down bone
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: if you're not having to drive twelve plays all the time,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: like to score and put points on the board. So
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: I can see the vision. They've got to run it
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: more consistently. Bryce has to be more consistent. They got
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: to run it more consistently. This texter says, what did
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: we really get better at on offense? I think that's
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: a good legit question. Like I expect internal growth. I
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: expect Bryce to be a better player because every year
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: he has been a better player, So I expect him
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: to be a better player.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Again.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Some of you aren't going to be happy if he doesn't,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: you know, throw for four thousand yards or whatever. But
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I expect him to be a better player, and we'll
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: figure out after the year. The Panthers figure out too,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: wasn't good enough to get a contract. I also think
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: TMAC will be better. I mean, dude, he Coaker's also
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: hopefully helping Cooker too. Coker should be He's He's in
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: shape to start camp. Hopefully he stays healthy. I'm telling you,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: t Mac looks different. T Mac looks way different to me.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: He says, that's the way he played at in college.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Like he doesn't look skinny mini anymore. His legs, I
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: mean he has, he has worked and he's got the
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: weight on, and I would expect that to help him.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: T Mac has an outside chance if they win enough
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: to be a pro bowler this year. I know that
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: doesn't mean a lot necessarily anymore, but definit just in
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: terms of stat wise and where he may rank in
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: the league. T Mac has a chance to be a
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: pro Bowl wide receiver.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Definitely, right right now, I would agree seven oh four, five,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: seven oh nine, six ten. Your thoughts in a Panther offense,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: what do you expect from them this year? Are they
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: better and if so, how are they better? On offense?
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I think, Brad, it'szick now again, I keep going to
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: X factors. Defense has things I truly believe in, right
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Like I would you know, I'd put my IPAs on
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: the line some of the things I believe in with
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: this the act, Yeah.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Don it, let me put your family family on the line.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: You're an evil man, Bone, I know what your rankings are.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Stop that.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: But with this offense, it's more like, I think brad
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Izac can help. Dave Canalis said it himself yesterday. He said,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: now we have a play caller that's fully focused on
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: that and does not have other responsibilities with the team
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: in the game. Darryl Bevill's a guy I think he
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: can help. I think he can help the offense. So
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: the offensive line people are bringing up this, dude says,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: if you guys think the old line going to be
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: an improvement, you're crazy. What would you say Bone about
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: the oh line? Obviously, both starting tackles from last year
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: are hurt or or ill.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: I think some people MAC find themselves complaining so much
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: that they end up stuck in their own mental torture chamber.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Didn't a lot of people MAC complaining about Ikey over
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: the years as well? Was it Ikey complained about quite
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: a bit by people definitely. So now Ikey's out and
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: the same people saying the offensive line is gonna be
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: a problem when I'm gonna go ahead and guess that
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: they probably complained about Icky in the bath as well.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: So I think the offensive line depth took a hit.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: But they drafted Freeling in the first round for a reason.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: Walker was thought to get highly paid in was it
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: for whatever reason?
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: We'll see.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: But the offensive line has been in farwards shape edder
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: good season than it is now. It's new guys outside
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: the guards, and I think Robert Hunt's got to stay healthy. Matt,
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: that's a thing that that could be an improvement if
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: he said last year and so far in cam maybe
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: they're easier to me in I don't know. But if
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: the offensive line is healthy and they're all what of gel,
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: I think the offensive line won't be a problem within
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: a few weeks of the season. I think you get
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: it and eventually you get Moton back. Yeah, that's the thing
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: is we you know. I know, I know I'm one
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: to talk. I downgraded my wins from ten to nine.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: The Moten thing had me shook, so I know I'm
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: I'm one to talk, right, But like Moten, will be
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: back at some point. Again, Freeling's an X factor though.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: How does he play? We know, like I feel again,
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: I feel very strongly bone he will be that dude
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: long term.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Can he do it right away? That's a question. So
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of ifs. That's another reason why I'm
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: saying top twenty for the offense and top ten for
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: the defense.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: It just feels like there are a lot of ifs.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Texter says Fortner is the next factor guy. How he
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: plays as well at center?
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Two three one brings up center says you lost your
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: starting center. I don't view Mays to Fortner as some
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: huge drop off personally, they're different sort of players.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Mays is more of a you know what I mean,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: more of a big, strong dude.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: But like, I don't view that as a big drop
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: off for lack of better for I don't I don't
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: have a sound for Fortner, but you know what I mean,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I know, different players, But do you view that as
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: some huge dru I.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Don't really view it in my list of worries. That's
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: not high up on the list.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Now. You know, if Fortner doesn't play well, well, you know,
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: heck gets in there and then he probably takes the
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: job for the next decade or so, Do.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: Same act, I don't always Matt necessarily worry about center
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: quite as much as we've seen guys undrafted guys before.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: We've seen guys that we've seen centers mag get opportunities
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: and run with it. So I don't always necessarily worry
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: about the center all that much. O.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Line coaching's real good over there, man, that's something to y'all.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: We're bringing up to last week to me, like settle down,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Mac Goody and Gilbert can coach Bone.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Let me give you the second.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: We got all of our guys all the worry wagon
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Mac hats showed up today, Bagel Guy, Joe and Rawley
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: be Bop. The worry wagon is going a hunt worry wagon.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, let me give you Bone, the second half of
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: the incredible Bryce bashing duo. These two guys. Do they
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: have superhero outfits?
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Bone?
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: And do they have a secret handshake because it feels
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: like these two guys coordinate their anti Bryce texts? And yes,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: he's a good question. Why do I care? And why
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: am I reading? I can't help myself, it's annoying me.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Bagel Guy says, if this offense is only twenty, Bryce
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: is not the guy. You guys coddle and make so
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: many excuses for Bryce a fifty million dollars quarterback, and
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: you're okay with him playing like Chad Pennington and the
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: twentieth ranked offense. We have never none of us here
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: have advocated for Bryce to get fifty million dollars, not one,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: damn sat I have said, offer him thirty three million
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: a year like Baker and Darnall get and see if
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: he bites. But I have not said anything. I am
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: uncomfortable right now with the notion of him getting fifty.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: What I'm trying to say is Bryce is our quarterback
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: right now. We've won a division with him. He's extremely clutch,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: he has some positives. We're trying to figure out if
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: he's the guy for this season. I would like to
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: see the offense. I'm just telling you what I want
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: from the offense.
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: This is not me saying give Bryce Young five get
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: trillion gazillion.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: You know that's that? Is that what I'm saying.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: Bagel guy, keep the name Chad Penny did out your mouth,
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: all right, noth of that that offended you. The best
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: jet keep you in my lifetime, all right, settle down, pale,
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: all right. The things he did in two thousand and
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: two never be forgotten. When we come back to the Macket, Bone,
• 18:55

  Speaker 5: haters like Bebop and Bagel Guy have a secret handshake.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: They do they touch lips?
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Well, god, alright then, okay, alright, then I didn't expect
• 20:59

• 21:00

  Speaker 3: last few week on SEC Network. I mean, it just
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: means more drama. I don't know if it means I
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: don't know if it means national title appearances anymore, Bone,
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: but it means more drama. And Dorry Noka joins us

• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Darry, what up, Man? How you doing? Man?
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: I'm good man. I'm still trying to get over that
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: secret handshake there. I don't know how much I like that. Guys.
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: That's that's pretty interesting. Uh No, it's good all as well. Mac.
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: It's funny, dude, Like I mean, I saw you a
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: few weeks ago as we're dropping the girls off for
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: a little dare to Dream camp. It's funny because I'm
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: kind of the same way. But on radio, you know,
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: you're kind of loud and rambunctious and all that, and
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: you're just so quiet. Every time I see you, You're
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: just so chill. And I'm like, man, what a kind
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: of dichotomy there between Mac on the radio and Mac
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: just chilling on the steps waiting to drop off Dory.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: Darry, could you invite me next time so I can
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: see this in action place?
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: You see what happens when I don't have bone and
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: fitty around now getting me wound up, It'll lose my mind.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Clearly, we're the problem, Darry.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: He is.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: He is quieter off the air, but I mean it's
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: it's hard not to be how he.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Is on the air.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: All right, Anyway, my alter eo, don't spoil my Clark
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Kent alter ego, Darry. All right, let's talk about it. See,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: because after I saw you right, you went and covered
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: SEC media days, I was watching a bunch of the
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: coverage and it was thoroughly, thoroughly entertaining SEC Media Day.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: What did you think of peak Golding?
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Because I know everybody loved them because this dude was
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: like saying things that man, most coaches don't go there.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: But I still am so bothered on behalf of the
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Clemson fans in the audience. I'm still so bothered by
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: that Luke Farelli situation. But what did you think of
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Golding's a character, There's no doubt about it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, since that's really the only the only
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: example of campering in all of college football, I can
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: see why that would bother you so much. Really, I mean,
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: he could have gotten away with that when you know
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: nobody else seems to. It's just pretty pretty significant. So
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: I joked, I told he, I'm like, man, we need
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: you in this league. I mean, it wasn't like that
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: long ago that we had, you know, we had Steve
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: Spurrier and Less Miles and all these incredible like sound
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: bites to look forward to it. And now it's like you,
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: I mean, drink gives us a little bit, but we
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: need more people who will just tell it like it is.
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: And I Folding's refreshing now, I will say that in
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: our In our you couldn't hear it on the air necessarily,
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: but our producer, uh and us were keeping a counter
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: for every time the s H I T word was uttered,
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: So you know, it was a little you know, every
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: time he would say it, the producer get my ear
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: and just be like, you know, we had we had
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: Golding doing it, and then we you know, Saban dropped
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: a couple of so we we had a pretty good
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: counter going on there. But no, man, it was I
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: told him like, it's just it's nice to have a
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: coach in the league that'll just kind of say what's
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: on his mind. And and that's him and I think
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: that part of the thing with Golding is that he's
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: told me this too, is you know, he he took
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: a job that Lane offered him because he just wanted
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: to keep keep coaching defense, and he wanted to do
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: it in a place that was felt like home. His
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: wife's from Mississippi. She all, we wanted to go back
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: to mississis And he's like, I can go and live
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: in the place that she wants to live and I
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: can do what I want to do with this coach defense.
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: She's like, I never wanted to be a head coach.
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: I never asked for this, I never chased This opportunity
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: fell into my lap. I took it. I'm happy to
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: have it. But I think the worst case scenario to
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: Pete Golding is he's too authentic. Eventually somebody's like, Okay,
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: maybe this isn't what we need as a head coach,
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: so go coach defense. And he's like, Okay, if that's
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: my fallback, I'm gonna be just fine with that. So
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: he worried about what people think, and I think it's
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: damn refreshing, and he's just in the hell of a
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: cool dude. Anyway. Man, I'm a big Pete Golding.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Darry, our audience is asking for your response to
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: this already as well. Brett Beebelma yesterday have big ten
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: media day. A guy I'm already bothered by from the
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: bowl game against South Carolina. This guy's been burning my
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: biscuits now for a couple of years. He goes off
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: and says, the SEC thinks it's two thousand and five, Darry,
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: he did coach in the SEC right, and didn't do
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: that well at Arkansas.
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: That's right, he did. I don't know. I listened to
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: that now, being him was a long time, very good
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: buddy of mine, okay, and I and I don't I
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: still don't know what that means, like whatever, living in
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: two thousand and five, Like, I have no idea really
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: what he means by that, because then later he said
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: something along the lines of two thousand and five was
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: the year before I started coaching, and that's why I
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: picked that year. I have no idea what that means.
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: So maybe maybe you don't reach out to him and
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: try to gain a little bit of clarity, but note
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: worthly idea. But I do know this, like you know,
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: there's it's he's not a fan of the SEC because
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: this will shock you, guys. But he used to tell
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: me all the time, like he's like, I don't know
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: how you coach in this league and win. But but
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: but but sleep at night doing the things that you
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: have to do. And this was before in IL and
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: everything else. And and then let's let's talk about like
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: my alma mater, Oklahoma has kind of gone in and
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: swooped his right his two right hand men. Uh One,
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: they made the athletics director Rodger Denny, and then they
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: brought his his right hand guy that he used to
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: work with Bilama over as well in the last three months.
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: So he's like, man, you guys, everybody's raiding my guys.
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: Yet you know we're talking about how the Big ten
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: is second of the SEC. Y'all can't get into a
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: championship game. There are no hurt feelings or no, no,
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: there's no love lost, I guess between Bilima and the SEC.
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: But I have no idea what he meant by going
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: back to two thousand.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: Also, if I go back that far, Darry, I'm probably
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: not with Max, So I don't know. That might be
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: a place we kind of want to go to for
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: quiet never hurts, Oh, man.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: All right, all fair Mac, though, Darry I'll tell you
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: about all fair Mac, But I don't get you a
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: hang with that guy, all right, dar SEC network hanging
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: with us talking ball baby.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: It is getting so close, all right?
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: So you you mentioned there the whole You know, one
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: of the biggest storylines right is the SEC three years
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: hasn't had a team in the National Title Game. For
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: many leagues, this would be okay, but for the SEC,
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: it's a major storyline. Do you when you look at
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: at how the league is shaping up this year, is
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: your gut feeling that they will break that drought and
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: win a title or play for it? And like, which
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: team do you look at and say they I really
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: think they're the one that can break this drought?
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Mac, I don't have a gut feeling on this.
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: I mean it is far from a given. You know.
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: If at the end of this thing you're like, hey,
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: that's four straight years they didn't have a team in it,
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to be shocked. But if they if
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: they do, I'm also not going to be shocked. I
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: think Georgia is really really good. They're very complete. That
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: would be my favorite to get there. I think Texas
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: certainly is a team that's there's no they have no
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: built in excuse to not play for a national championship.
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: Their roster is as good as anybody in America that
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: includes Ohio State in my estimation, But I think there's others.
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: I think Ole Miss is probably a little bit underappreciated
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: to some degree. I know they're picked third in the league,
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: but I was having so many conversations with people like
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: they're gonna fall quite a bit, and I don't see
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: it happen. And I think, and I think, honestly, I
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: think Oklahoma's built as a team that could could certainly
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: make that sort of a run. But no, I at
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: this point, I would say it's fifty to fifty whether
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: we get a team in the national title game, because
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: you can't ignore Ohio State, and you can't ignore or
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: again and Notre Dame. That's certainly a legitimate team. Miami's
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: going to be really, really good. So I know it's
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: far from a given. I mean, this college football's changed
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: a lot. And while the SEC, I do still think
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: and the Big tenners get tired of hearing it, can
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: rightfully say it's the deepest league that does not translate
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: to championships, and we've learned that over the last three seasons.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: Darry the game cost picked eleventh in the media by
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: the se for the SEC. Is that accurate to you
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: or what kind of year do you expect from Beemer
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: in the game cost? A very important year at that
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: for Shane Beemer.
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: I've found in Tampa at media days, they're one of
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: the most polarizing teams. There are people that think this
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: is going to be his last season there because they're
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: not going to get it going, and there are people
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: that they they could make a push towards a playoff spot.
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: I tend to think bone that they're closer to that.
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: I think there what he's done on the offensive line
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: and that rebuild, I think certainly is impressive. He feels
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: like he's got receivers outside of just Nick Harper. It's
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: really it's a version of on a daily I do
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: a daily radio show based out of Oklahoma, and I
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: think there's some similarities between the two programs, and the
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: idea is you've got to improve everything around your quarterback.
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: Oklahoma feels John Mattiers good enough, you've got to fix
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: everything around him. And we know Leonora Sellers is good enough,
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: and I think Shane thinks he's fixed at least the
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: vast majority of the issues around him. Dylan Stewart's just
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: a really good place to start on defense. But I
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: think they think the defense is going to be really
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: good around him too. So, you know, I think it's
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: a team that has the ability to be in that
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: five six seven range in the SEC, which could be
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: good enough to be a late season type a team.
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: We're talking about it in November for maybe you know,
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: a couple of things go their way, maybe that's a
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: playoff type team. So I do expect a big, a
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: significant jump from South Carolina and one that probably gets
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: him right off of that hot seat.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: I tend to agree, but you're right, it is not
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of people that feel the same way
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: you do and we do here, but there are there
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: is an equal number on the other side saying I
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: don't see it. So it'll be fascinating. I love the
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Kendall Briars higher, it'll be fascinating. Darry Nooka dari I
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: would like to congratulate you. You and a and the
• 31:53

  Speaker 3: You're true. You ask and we deliver. Uh, let's talk
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: to one of those All Stars. Along with his teammates

• 37:14
  Speaker 3: this trio of players that are the first All Stars

  Speaker 3: west how are you feeling special? You're an All Star today?
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: Baby? How you feeling good?
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Morning? I am far from an All Star.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Modest west I do want to ask you, Westy, like
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: you're over in over in England, like y'all don't do
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: all Star games. Like it's just not it's it's it's
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: probably a foreign concept. Like do you how do you
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: feel about the whole concept of All Star games getting
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: everybody together and celebrating because it's not what you grew
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: up with, right, It's so.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Different from what I'm used to. But being around it
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: and seeing it up close and personal, I love it. Mate.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: You know how much I've embraced the culture, But this
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: is I was speaking to Hanney Muktar last night, and
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: obviously he's played in Europe and he was saying if
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: they did this over in Europe, it would be incredible
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: the amount of players that they've got over there. So
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: it's something we should seriously look at.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: I did not know, Westy, if you wanted to be
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: nice to your the guys you play against, that was
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: my one thing.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: But it seems like you're playing nice, Westy.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I'm playing very nice. I'm literally just don't tell anyone.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: I'm literally sat at quail with with Sonny now, so
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just treating him to quail.
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: Your guy. Tim Reen put on a hellba performance in
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: the the passing portion of the Skilled Challenge last night.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: That was fun to watch. Wessy, if you were.
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: Going to do one of these challenges, which one do
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: you which one draws your eye that you say, you
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: know what I could do well at that one?
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I think it'd be the passive one. But Tim was incredible.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: But you know it didn't surprise us because he's got
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: that ability.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: It's crazy because like he's a center back and I'm
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: gonna be honest with you, don't tell Reim that just
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: was set on the radio today. But I saw him
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: up against Carlos Heel up against Montielle, the midfielder from Mexico,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: and I kind of thought, well, Reem's a real good
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: passer as a center back, but against midfielders. I don't
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: know if he can do this anyone out there and
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: set a record. Like, I don't know as your judge, like,
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: are you gonna switch with him? They gonna move you
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: back to center back and move Rheim to your spot
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: because he was dealing.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: No, he's played in the Premier League. You're not about
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: play if you played in the Premier League. And like
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I said, last night didn't surprise me. I knew Tim's
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: got a wonder the left foot. So he showed the
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: world what he can do. And I'm I was so
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: proud of him. I was stood with his kids and
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: they were jumping. He's so nice to see.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: That was a cool family moment. Westy.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: How big was the road win in New York last weekend?
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: Not only a road win, but it was needed? But
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: sometimes the best wins are those ones you get when
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: maybe you're not at your best. How important was that.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: For you guys?
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think the first first thirty minutes, we're outstanding yeah,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: we got it. We got in the face as we
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: turned them. But then it was a It was a
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: real English performance the second half and the last last
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. The first off they put us under a
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: lot of pressure. No, it was the locker room was
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: bouncing after to win a game like that. There's no
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: better feeling when you you're sort of under pressure for
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: seven minutes. It was. It was a great win and
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: much needed as well.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: Gritty, tough to your point about English performance, although not
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: in not not the type of English performance that we
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: saw in the last thirty minutes against Argentina though Westy.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it felt like that.
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Those road dubs aren't easy to come by. Man, So
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: I don't really care about style points on the on
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: the road. What do you think about uh, it seems
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: like I mean, I know, nothing's official, but there were
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: definitely camera shots of Vargas arriving at an airport in Brazil.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: I think you know, it felt like he was saying
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: goodbye of the game the other night in the press conference.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: Lose if you lose him on top of Zaha. Now
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: you're getting Maxie in. How much does that hurt?
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: He had he's had it. He's been playing really well.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: He's had a hell of a season for y'all.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: He's been brilliant. I mean I've walked in and Khan
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: was here, and to see to see how much he's
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: developed over the last last couple of years is phenomenal.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I think, like going back to what you said,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's done. I sent him
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: a message and he replied saying thank you. So we
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: wish him all the best and he is certainly going
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: to be a huge loss because he's been he's been
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: one of our best players for the last few years.
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt about him.
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: That's just that's just the nature of the beast in
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: this sport, right, any any given time that that roster
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: could have a lot of up evil right.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: But it shows and it also shows how well we're doing.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: We've lost we lost Patrick to Darby, We've lost Addy
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: to Middlesbrough. Now Kerwin's gone his way to the club.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: The club are making a lot of money. So it's
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: it just shows what the developing, the developing top talents. See.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: That is something that's really important because like we we
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: with the American Sports Westy like losing your good players,
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: like it just oh my god, we lose our minds
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: over it. Right, But with soccer, it's different. What you're
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: saying is so true. It has shown what the front
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: office is doing over there is I mean, it's some
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: really good business, right to be able to spot these
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: guys when they're young. You're bringing up the coaching part
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: of it, right, so you have the talent acquisition part
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: of it and the eye for talent. Then you have
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: the development the coachers are doing, and then you're selling
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: these guys off for more. Like it really is commendable.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: But like we as American sports fans are like, we're
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: just we're so conditioned to when you lose your best players,
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: it's horrible, you.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Know, yeah, you know it's like that, but you're different.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: You sell to you sell to make money. You sell
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: to you want lads to move on to bigger and
• 42:52
