บทถอดความฉบับเต็มของ Mac & Bone Hour 1: Panthers Bounce Back Against Jacksonville

got to talk about the game down there. There was a storm, Bone, you know, on that second drive for the Carolina Panther offense. First of all, I was disappointed Bone that Lee. I wasn't surprised once Liam Cohen came out of that joint practice and started saying, hey, we're awful banged up. I don't know if I just want to send some of the ones out there. Plus he probably felt pretty good bone about that first hour or so of practice from his starters, so I started thinking they were not going to play the starters, and then sure enough they did. I think it was one of the Jacksonville writers counted it was thirty three players that did not suit up for them on Friday, So that's definitely a part of this. But the Panthers first team at least gave us something I would have liked bone them to go too. For two in terms of scoring against the backups from Jacksonville on two drives, they needed a second drive in order to get in there, but we saw good stuff. We saw an actual touchdown drive. I feel like it was enough maybe to chill the you know what I mean, the overreactions. 00:06:40 Speaker 3: And l after one drive back. 00:06:42 Speaker 1: And I'll give you an example here in a second that we were headed towards another potential text line meltdown by looking at the timestamps. But that second drive really calmed the waters to use another reference there to a storm for example, Bubba from Stantley County who you could always count on Mac for well measured takes. When your name is Bubba from Stanley County seven forty five PM. Bryce is hot ass, booty garbage, hot dog water. So is that and then never came back again. Okay, so that was bad. That was after the first struck, after the first drive. 00:07:20 Speaker 3: Year, what's he supposed to do? 00:07:21 Speaker 5: By the way, when Jonathan Brooks misses a Blitz pick up on third down, he. 00:07:24 Speaker 3: Did not go to he's supposed to do that. He didn't detail the plane on that point. 00:07:28 Speaker 5: Yeah, that was the misfire to Bryce and Tremaine because Jonathan Brooks got beat in terms of past protection and it happened twice. Aj Dillon beat in pass prodect. So I don't even start with the negative. But the running backs pass protection is probably maybe the biggest negative to come out of Friday. 00:07:46 Speaker 3: But there's a lot of positives. 00:07:48 Speaker 5: Bryce getting the ball to t Mac, Bryce getting the ball downfield. The pass protection from the offensive line I thought was astronomically better than the first week, not just with Bryce but the whole game him through. I thought the pass protection Bone was so much better. The running game. They ran for over seven yards of carry in the first half, including a Jimmy Horn and a round that was glorious. Even Big Old Stone forsythe out front on that one getting down field Blockstone Walls Sanders getting out front blocking. I thought Jimmy Horn had a great day. I thought Hn had a great I thought there's a lot of guys Bone that needed

good days that got good days. And I think most importantly, I think we needed the first team touchdown. Would I have liked again for it to at least be ten points over two drives, if not fourteen over two drives, I would have no doubt about it. But they needed that second drive Bone. That one's the most intense second drive of a preseason game for the Ones ever, because you're going against backups. Man, if you get Stonewall on two straight drives, que to freakouts, it was a gotta have it drive in the second game of the preseason. 00:08:58 Speaker 1: But as silly that sounds, it was important. You mentioned Horn there rightfully, so feels like he's playing his way onto a roster spot here, But then you look at Mechi's numbers. Six catches on seven targets for seventy seven yards third quarter. I was talking to someone before the show, mac but I think I already said who it was, but I don't want to, you know, out them there as the one of the longtime voices of the Panthers that work in our building and as a WBT Hall of Famer. He's wondering if Horn and Mechi have played their way on to the roster, and maybe David Moore doesn't make it like we thought. And you know, the thing with David Moore, mac Dad was suggested was, you know, you can try out Horn and Mechi here on the roster, see how it goes for about a month, and most likely no one's gonna sign David moorecte. 00:09:44 Speaker 3: He'll still be there. He'll still be there. 00:09:46 Speaker 5: Or yeahs taking David you think, oh, yeah, we gotta get him, you know what I mean. 00:09:52 Speaker 1: No, they think he's one of our coaches anyways, So I think that, yeah, I think that is d Moore around. But you don't have to have them immediately. Let these guys what you got here with. 00:10:00 Speaker 5: Because Pickett Picket to Mechi in the third quarter specifically was was bringing back Montana to Rice vibes. I mean, dude, he was going the heck off and Pickett finally got the ball down field with the help of Metchi. He did Pickett. It can be a dinker and a dunker, there is no doubt about it. And man, he missed that third and one pass. I'm like, I'm like, man, I believe there are five year olds that could complete that pass. But other than that, I thought Pickett Prey played pretty damn solid. I think there's a lot to talk about. The defense forces two turnovers. Shaw Smith Wade goes from getting juped out of his boots to making a diving interception. That was a big play for him. I don't think there's any doubt bone that he is out playing Corey Thornton, you know, in the practices and this this camp in preseason, so I think it was big for him and it was nice to see another red zone stop from the first team defense. Again, their first team defense sat out there for best players. The whole court was Phillips, Brown Horn and who am I missing? 00:11:04 Speaker 3: Lloyd? Lloyd? How do I forget him? 00:11:06 Speaker 5: Those are the four that they sat out, So it's not totally the first team defense, but that drive run isn't necessarily pretty. Bone that second drive after the three and out that Jacksonville went on. But for the second straight week, the starters bowed up defensively and got a red zone stop with pass rush. It was Princely and Pat Jones on back to back plays, and Pat Jones got the third down sack. 00:11:31 Speaker 1: So I like seeing that, man, And I think we all have concerns about the depth of the defense. But all things considered, you know, there's things to discuss, maybe the other linebacker spot obviously, but I thought for a team that was missing all of those main players, I thought, all in all, the defense did a pretty nice job the other night. Yeah, there's a lot of depth pieces in there. 00:11:51 Speaker 5: Yeah, and we were going against you know, eleven backups where we had four backups in so that you know what I mean, there's got to be context again, And I'm not gonna come on here today Bone acting like the Super Bowl wagon was re cranked on Friday night. I don't want to give away those sort of vibes. We're playing against backups like you better, you better win that portion, and it they did what they needed to do because if they would have lost those those battles against the backup, we would be an absolute freaking out. Oh, there's no doubt about it. They have they they've eased. I think, well, we'll talk to everybody about it. We'll get everybody's thoughts on it, you know what I mean. We'll see what the textures, what Panther fans are saying on the text line, like did they make you feel better after last week? At the very least, I feel like they have calmed the waters. Yes, you know what I mean. I think they have calmed the waters. At the very least. Mike Jack did give up three more completions, including that back shoulder down the sideline. 00:12:46 Speaker 1: This week was like George Clooney in a perfect storm that was last week's water. 00:12:50 Speaker 5: Brady c had two penalties. He does not seem to be up to speed. But there was a lot of stuff that was way better this week. And we'll talk about linebacker battle between Wallace and Cherry less. Is the answer even on the roster or is the starting I saw Josh Norris tweet out the Panthers linebacker two is not on the roster currently, so I thought there were I thought Wallace had some good moments. I also saw Wallace on a screen pass literally get shoved more than ten yards downfield, like literally shoved ten plus yards downfield. They don't always get off blocks these two, no, you. 00:13:29 Speaker 1: Know, they both seem like they'd be better off as depth pieces rather than main guys. And I hate saying that with Wallace because I thought we were not. I thought we were at a point where he was just a solid starter, not a star, but a guy that next to Devin. 00:13:44 Speaker 3: Woyd would be all right. But now I don't know, man, this is this is not good for Wallace. 00:13:49 Speaker 5: It does, and he made a few plays against the run like Cherlis had a play

against the run too, that plant end around early on. That was a nice play. I thought Wallace made three plays where I noticed him against the run near the line of scrimmage. One was was a penalty on Jacksonville, but he still made the play. He did shed and make a play like I feel like Wallace did a little bit better. They did take advantage of I don't know if it's him Cheralists or both on a nineteen yard er over the middle where it's like that looked like last year where you know, linebackers get sucked in a little on a play action the ball goes over their head in front of the safeties type thing, but we'll talk all about it. We also have the XL injury situation. He was in a boot. He got that ankle rolled up on and twisted bone. Although I guess Canalis said the injury is the foot, like he you know, I saw. 00:14:41 Speaker 3: I don't know. 00:14:42 Speaker 5: There's a difference between foot and ankle obviously, so I don't know exactly what's hurting there. But I did not expect to see him in a boot. 00:14:49 Speaker 1: Yeah, I did not know where a boot levels for him, so that was I saw him talking to Waller on that where the boot was shown. I did not anticipate him being hurt that bad, but obviously a little gets earning there for him. The Canal is actually a guy that's had a really good camp, but you don't want him to have to miss start the season. By any guy that can't miss the first couple of weeks, to be this guy doesn't sound like it's regular season. But Canalist did kind of say we hope to get him back by the end of the week, which means I guess he probably doesn't go Wednesday, and I don't know about you. Bone, Wednesday feels like the joint practice to end all joint practices. He does, because I don't think we're seeing the starters on Friday night. I think this is it. 00:15:26 Speaker 5: I think this is their last chance Bone to make an impression on Wednesday against a team whose defense is freaking filth a. 00:15:34 Speaker 1: What a battle, What a test to have though, this is what you want. Why not test yourselves against the best. But it will be a test for Freeing, for Walker, for all of the offensive line because Houston is uh maybe the best in the league up front. 00:15:50 Speaker 3: There no doubt, no doubt about it. Man. 00:15:52 Speaker 5: So anyway, we've got a lot of Panthers stuff to talk about throughout the show. Feel free to send in your text seven oh four or five nine, six ten. 00:16:01 Speaker 1: Texts are not you know, the texts aren't coming in as rapid as I did last week. 00:16:04 Speaker 3: It's so funny. 00:16:05 Speaker 5: It's like I was thinking about that, like, does anybody want to talk about it this preseason game? 00:16:10 Speaker 3: Or is or was it just preseason? Now? Yeah? 00:16:12 Speaker 5: You know what I mean, Like, was it just preseason? When things are gonna complete? Memination? Show me that in a regular season. 00:16:18 Speaker 3: I will say this, I watched. I don't know. I watched parts of a few

preseason games, if that. 00:16:24 Speaker 5: Like I watched the Bears when the starters were in real quick, I watched the Bucks when the starters were in real quick. I will say this, I really don't draw any conclusions Bone, I don't know about you when I watch other teams play. Yeah, I really don't, so like, why are we so irrationally drawing? I guess because we I guess that's what we do. I know, but it's like, like, you know what I mean, like Division teams, Bone, if they played terrible in the preseason, like do we care? 00:16:52 Speaker 1: I fully admit I don't pay full attention to other preseason games like I used to. 00:16:58 Speaker 3: I know you did as well. I used to lock in on Idan. 00:17:02 Speaker 1: But now with social media, if you want to find out about a team, you can either see highlights read about it. Because I think as the joint sessions back have gotten more important, there are you watch any of these games. There are so many guys not playing. It's hard to John hardly anybody's hardly anybody. I was watching Tampa against Kansas City because I wanted to hear how John Gruden signed out to play by play guy. 00:17:25 Speaker 3: But he wasn't the play by play. Yeah, he was at Ronde Barbara. What happened there? 00:17:28 Speaker 5: I was wondering when I was watching that, I don't know. John Gruden was telling me about Man, I'm gonna being played by play man man, and then all of a sudden there's. 00:17:35 Speaker 3: Rod day Barber doing play. 00:17:36 Speaker 5: Did they realize, man, that's not for you man, you're an analyst. 00:17:40 Speaker 1: Maybe they try like a practice thing or something. They should have had calli Endo in there with Ron day Barmer. That that would have been That would have been a great swerve back if it was Frank calli Endo as John Gruden in the booth and not the act. 00:17:51 Speaker 5: Buck's first team offense went oh for two series, though I will I will point that out, but again, like I like Caleb Williams was inaccurate. Again, right, they were driving the ball against Cincinnati's two's and then he starts trying to go downfield and he's missfiring fifty eight percent last year, So like, yeah, like seeing that, but does that mean anything in Week one? So it's we I feel like we are irrationally obsessed with everything that happens in our team's preseason and then everybody else it's like, oh it's preseason. I mean, you're exactly right, but like we don't have that ability to do that with our own team. But anyway, with that said, we won't be irrationally obsessed all day. 00:18:32 Speaker 1: A texter seven four, five, seven, nine, six ten, which you can be as well. Send it in there. A texter says he just saw Bagel Guy and be Bob leaving ihop this morning. They were planning out their course of attack today because they don't know what to do right now. 00:18:50 Speaker 5: Oh god, yeah, I'm very curious to see what the tone of Panther Nation is today. On the text line, I do want to mention yesterday, Ryan Laney, Man, these Penske cars are hot. Ryan Blaney wins at New Hampshire for the second straight week. His good buddy Bubba Wallace made it interesting late locked up, got got real close, but locked up the brakes, and even he kind of admitted that was the end of my charge. Had to settle for second. But Ryan Blaney, whose mustache bone gets more glorious by the win, I mean every time he's in victory lane, I'm like, oh, that stash is getting even bigger and puffier. 00:19:28 Speaker 1: Bro, It's bigger than his seatbelt in the car well. At some point that he might just put that mustache across his chest as the seatbelt. That thing is remarkable. Man remarks that does that mustache have its on Twitter feed? 00:19:40 Speaker 5: Ye? 00:19:40 Speaker 1: Because I feel like it should. If not, someone I'd love to talk to Ryan Whendey's mustache, someone's missing an opportunity. If not, I will say this, Fitty, are you with me on this? It's Penske versus the Yodas for the championship? You with me on that? 00:19:57 Speaker 6: I think it's Blaney versus Hamblin for the championship. 00:20:00 Speaker 3: And I feel like you've oversimplified it. I don't know. 00:20:03 Speaker 6: And if if if I had to pick, I know Dinny locked up the number one seed last night, Blainey would be my championship pick as of this moment. 00:20:12 Speaker 3: But no, I do think you're right. 00:20:13 Speaker 5: It is like throw Logo in that, throw the rest of throw the rest of the Yodas in there, throw you know a few more. I think you I feel like you oversimplified it. You had to one up me and make it even more narrowed, you know what I mean? But I just wanted my quick thought. My quick thought is Hendrik Chevy, ain't you know, it just ain't happened. 00:20:39 Speaker 3: Mac, that's their crap like a Kyle Larson finished fifth. I never had. The rest of y'all weren't anywhere to be found. 00:20:45 Speaker 6: Like three of the last four races, Chase still it has had to use a strategy to get to the front of the field. 00:20:50 Speaker 3: Fitty, didn't you just say we had to wrap up two minutes ago? Well, you asked me, I got to going. 00:20:56 Speaker 5: It's funny. Let's be honest. None of us want to wrap up. We're talking No maybe Bone, maybe Bone does this year and that. No, I'm not good at rapping, all. 00:21:06 Speaker 3: Right, it's all you. 00:21:07 Speaker 1: That's not good for the producer not to be good at wrapping up. To get the host, I set him up though, that's my fault. But I thought he could get in and get out. That I forgot who I was dealing with. When when when we not that I get in get out either. On the way back to the program the recap of the rest of the weekend, we have more college sports eligibility madness. One court ruling has guys like Trimble ineligible. Another ruling has a new group that's eligible. We've got Lane Kiffin news Charlet de FC's got to win, and one weekend we've got a big local high school football controversy that we're going to break

down. Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ. 00:22:06 Speaker 7: He was awesome. 00:22:07 Speaker 8: I was super happy for him. 00:22:09 Speaker 9: Yeah. 00:22:09 Speaker 8: The amount of work he's put in, uh, since he's been here, that I've been able to see in witness first hand, it's he can't describe it, you know, the and also attitude he's had all going through all the stuff he's had to so has been the first guy to celebrate everybody else's success. I've been there for everyone, been super steady. So yeah, it was a really cool moment. I was super happy for him and very not surprised. You know, he's a special guy, special player that work it shows up on the field. So uh yeah, Uh glad he got his first and I'm excited to watch him keep going. 00:22:38 Speaker 3: There you go, Bryce Rice, super excited for JB. 00:22:41 Speaker 5: Jonathan Brooks, and I think we all are man you know, two torn a cls, a man bone that came back played literally two games uh from the first a cl tear in college. Uh, played two games and then boom the other a cl is torn and it's been a long road to get to this point. He five hit, as Dave Canalis would say, the paint finally got I love that. 00:23:04 Speaker 3: Finally got it. 00:23:04 Speaker 5: Into the paint for the first time. Yeah, it's preseason, but it's a start. It means something. You could see bone how much it meant to Jonathan Brooks. I know we'll play the clip later, but you know, him talking about his touchdown celebration is basically, you know, a shout out to his dad who he lost four years ago. So you could tell it meant something. The symbolism of getting in there. I also love the I don't know if it's a thirteen yard run, the one where we got big Rob Hunt out front. We got Tommy Tremble out front, and he showed you a little bit of the jump cuts and stuff like. That's what we want to see from Brooks. Man that's had it as an eleven yard run. Eleven, But yeah, that was that was cool to see. Joe person. 00:23:46 Speaker 1: Yeah, I tweeted out the other day is linked to that or I quote tweeted that wink to the article that he has up there at what a dot Com. It is a it's a must read for Panther fans about Brooks. So check that out about you know, we focused on Brooks the football player. What are we getting? But that's a good look at Brooks the human being and what is that meant to Yeah, and we won't sugarcoat the pass protection. He admitted himself, I've got to be better. But there he set up bone to pass protect three times and twice gave up pressures. Like so it does need to be mentioned, like is that something that is going to continue. Is that a blip on the radar, because it's. 00:24:22 Speaker 5: Hard to play you on Like we all want Brooks on the field on passing downs, right, Well, it's hard to play you on passing downs if you're gonna struggle in pass So that that is definitely a question mark coming out. 00:24:33 Speaker 3: Of the game. 00:24:33 Speaker 1: Also, young players, that's one of the last things that young running backs pick up. But he hasn't really played that much, so he's still he's still basically a rookie and that's gonna be a thing that's gonna take a while. He has not been in there to develop the blocking. 00:24:47 Speaker 5: That's a good point too, that's a that's a very he's not two freaking games, he's not a rookie in years, but he's a rookie of games play. No, I think that's a valid point, no doubt about it. But we've got a lot of panthers to talk about on today's radio show. Also, we're gonna shout out Charlotte f C. We're gonna give you your dose of Willie p. Gold calls. There were three of them, after all, I'm not gonna lie to you bone that first half was annoying. I mean, Charlotte FC hit barely a thing in terms of creating anything, and this was with Maxie starting for the first time, so thoroughly disappointing. How little they did. It's almost like they needed the DC goal to almost create the urgency, because then after that they went on to create four big chances. After that they scored three of them. Thank God for the set pieces too, because they got two goals, one on a freak kick, one off a corner, which was freaking huge. And then a body sets up pep Bil and he just so calmly gets it, gets it off quick, slots it lower corner and they beat DC three to one. They move up to fifth place bone with the win in the East much. 00:26:00 Speaker 1: Needed response to what happened in the last outing when we saw them where it felt so much felt so much like a loss compared to a draw the other night, though with a situation where I thought, early on, like you're talking about, I thought, just don't the way it was going, just don't lose this. If you got to draw a draw, but just don't, just at least get one point out of this. So I was pleasantly surprised how they rallied and really ended up with a rather dominant performance After that fact. 00:26:30 Speaker 5: They took him a while to wake the heck up man, but once they got going, they put three up, and Willie Pea's blood pressure rose, the octaves of his voice rose as well bowed, and all was fine. 00:26:43 Speaker 1: I've heard that there's a Benneck on hand for Willie next to him, justin King. He's got the blood pressure pump going, justin Kase. They really lock in. 00:26:52 Speaker 5: When Brandon Bronico scores, it's like, oh, Willie, okay, anyway, we did lose. 00:26:58 Speaker 3: We did lose. Max I don't really know why. 00:27:02 Speaker 5: MAXI was still in the game with a two goal lead that late when the Dean Smith going in said, oh, he's not ready to start, and Dean bluffed us because he was ready to start. I probably would have pulled him out of the game with a two goal lead at that point, but he ended up getting injured. He has described it as a dead leg bone, which Dean Smith downplayed. So it's not that big of a deal. They got a week off, no midweek game, and then it's at Atlanta on Saturday night. We got Daytona Saturday night too, and most importantly, we got

Week zero college football. We got a little heels TCU at noon and a little State Virginia three point thirty bone we got ourselves a Saturday. 00:27:42 Speaker 3: I almost can't believe it's here. What it's crazy. 00:27:44 Speaker 1: Normally normally Week zero Mac we peek in on it and we try to get our fix, and it's like, ah, like last year, I got really into Stanford Hawaii just because it was on good Well they play again this year, but God, just just to have two games that matters so much for us. Belichick trying to rewrite narrative. NC State Virginia is a a massive game conference wise. To be in Week zero, I cannot wait one more. Uh, soccer, point Mac. The biggest soccer news internationally over the weekend is, uh, the EPL was back and your guy early Holland Mack did not look like the Holland that we saw last time. 00:28:22 Speaker 5: Chopped arrow more guy man. Y'all all the Holland fans from the World Cup are yell man. 00:28:27 Speaker 1: About his hair being one of the coolest guys out there. Man, one of the great man buns going on right now? Now he's got my haircut? Does he lose his powers without the man? 00:28:36 Speaker 5: But yeah, it looked like it because he had a chance in front from two feet away and blew it. 00:28:40 Speaker 3: Saw that. 00:28:40 Speaker 5: Look do you think he he got your haircut? And now he got your game? As a young youth striker, I could finish? Do you think that happen? He could finish out of fourteen percent? Clip center from two feet away? 00:28:52 Speaker 3: Who was interesting? 00:28:53 Speaker 5: Mac? 00:28:53 Speaker 1: I don't know he he looks too normal. He doesn't look like our guy. Yeah, you see what's a lot of times? A lot of time was furious. 00:29:01 Speaker 5: I didn't see this lot of time told him in an interview over the weekend or of the World Cup on Fox, your power is in your hair. 00:29:08 Speaker 3: Ah, And then he went and got rid of the hair. 00:29:10 Speaker 5: I gotta see more. If he keeps missing from two feet, I'm going to be pissed. I'm gonna be asking him to wear a wig if he gets If he does that, all right, let's talk about all the college sports shenanigans. I mean, it's it's crazy, and I really think every hour and a half, if you're not paying attention, you missed something going on there. Listen, most people have a life unlike us. Most people, you know what I mean, Most people don't. They're not paying attention to all this ridiculous crap all weekend long. 00:29:35 Speaker 3: So we are here for you. 00:29:36 Speaker 5: So let's follow this shortly after we finished the show. Heck, it might have happened while we were on the air at the end of the show, but we missed it. The NCUBA gets a temporary win in the Colorado court case. This was the one bone that applied to all athletes in the class of twenty twenty two in all sports that they can have a fit year of eligibility. So the NCAA Wednesday stay in this case. It's still pending their appeal, so there'll be an appeal result at some point in time. 00:30:08 Speaker 3: And it could change. 00:30:09 Speaker 5: They could appeal, could be dined, and this could go back to all those athletes being eligible. This is the one Bone where uh Seth Seth Tremble was deemed He took advantage of his eligibility and went to Louisville. Remember he was because you can't get into if you're not in the portal. Though you can't you can't change schools under this one. But Seth Tremble was already in the portal Louisville. Bone announced him officially on social media as a Louisville Cardinal player, and an hour and a half later, the ruling came down of a stay and he was deemed ineligible. Oh my gosh, you can't make this up. But don't worry. Seth Tremble's already working on Bone, filing a case in Kentucky with a local judge to try to become eligible again because Bone in Kentucky on the same day, a local judge ruled that a certain group of athletes have This doesn't apply to everybody in the twenty twenty two class. It's a certain group of athletes that filed a lawsuit in the Kentucky court that they was like Louisiana ruling from a couple of days prior they're eligible. This one includes Thomas Costellanos, quarterback from BC and Florida State, and for some reason, Texas Tech is interested in him. 00:31:24 Speaker 3: I have to be honest with you. I don't think the guy's really any good. No, he's not. 00:31:29 Speaker 5: Did you see what David Pollack said about Costellanos? I didn't see what he said. Said if he goes to Texas Tech, they can win the national championship, And all his responses in the comments section was did you watch him play at Florida to stay? 00:31:42 Speaker 3: Like? Didn't he get benched at PC? 00:31:43 Speaker 8: Like? 00:31:43 Speaker 3: I know he did some good things at BC. He got benched in his final year PC. Yeah. 00:31:47 Speaker 1: No, yeah, he only played like six games as a starter that year. They already have a quarterback that they like, so I don't know if he's not gonna be better than who Hammond their starting quarterback. 00:31:57 Speaker 5: The talk is that he initially would be the backup, but like some people like Pollock believe he's going to be the starter. For some reason, Pollock thinks it's gonna make him great. I'm like, miss me with that. I feel like they feel like if they end up with him starting to have the same problem they had last year, which is the best a very good roster that money can buy, but not at that position. 00:32:19 Speaker 3: No I had anythy on that one. 00:32:20 Speaker 1: Mag I imagine every warrior for these college kids is some form of Vinnie Gambino from my cousin Vinnie. 00:32:29 Speaker 3: I feel like they always. 00:32:30 Speaker 1: Get maybe a local attorney that has lost a lot of cases trying to find his way. I feel like there are a lot of Vinnie Gambinos running around right now challenging the NCAA. 00:32:39 Speaker 3: Two youths are you talking about two Utah youths or two youths? 00:32:44 Speaker 5: But anyway,

there's guys, there's actually attorneys that specialize in this and are making cash. I don't know if you follow Darren Heidner on. 00:32:51 Speaker 1: Twelve, Trimble's attorney the other day put out a cryptic tweet like, oh, yeah, we'll see about that eligibility thing. 00:32:56 Speaker 5: Yeah, because they're going to go to reports say he's going to go to Kentucky and all in a local court there. Like Darren Heidner, I don't know if you follow him. He's the guy that Jeff Goodman mocks, calling him fifteen percent, Yes, yes, but Darren Heidner, it's just he's on his Twitter telling people, guys, if you want to be eligible, come to me and we'll go to a local court. That's how you get eligible. You you file a suit in a local court. You don't rely on this Colorado federal case. So it's I don't know, there's an element of shamelessness, There's no. 00:33:26 Speaker 1: Doubt about it. Mark Mitchell landed at Kentucky through the portal. How about d Q Smith former Gamecock entered the portal last night. So but he hasn't picked a spot yet, not yet, but he's Then of course there's South Carolina got an got the Ethan Johnson the app do you yeah? They got one a portal, And then of course there's the day Kawan Wright situation, which tops them all right now, the Cleveland brown who asked for his release to go into the portal to play for LSU. 00:33:52 Speaker 5: Yes, shut who could who could have seen this coming? Actually we all saw this coming. We all saw this coming yes day to write the tight end literally asked the Browns, can you release me? I want to go sign with LSU with my former coach at old miss Lane Kiffin. And Lane Kiffin also added Bone. Another one of these fifth year eligibility guys, a pass rusher whose name I cannot really pronounce, Junior two E Kamaka, Oh. 00:34:21 Speaker 3: The Notre Dame kit. 00:34:22 Speaker 5: Yeah, he was at Notre Dame last year. Marcus Freeman said, it's too late for us to add players. Lane Kiffin said, hold my beer, I'm gonna ad him and I'm gonna add more. Is there any doubt in your mind? Bone, there's still two more studs from Old miss that were world ls in the Louisiana case. Is there any doubt in your mind they're going to LSU too here eventually? 00:34:43 Speaker 1: One thousand percent. Also, Will with shameless man Kiffin and Will Wade are both cleaning up right now with the fifth years because remember we mocked Will Wade for not having the roster size. Yet now all of a sudden, he's got a roster because he's adding fifth year guys. Yeah, he's doing that team got their fifth year you I mean, Sarah, if Dan Lanning Mack of Orgon comes out and goes off on the whole situation, reds it man, do we have that clip fit dog for everybody out there saying thank god? Marcus Freeman said, it's too late to add players our roster set. And for those of you that are like, where are the coaches that will stand up against this and are not going to add guys because well Freeman says it in here by the way, Uh listen, listen or

not Freeman, listen to Dan Landing, Oregon coach. He's not about this adding fifth year guys at the last minute. 00:35:28 Speaker 3: Life. 00:35:29 Speaker 9: I mean, I think there's a lot of negatives that are involved around this one. Once you go to the NFL, to mean you're in the NFL, you don't get the opportunity to come back to you know, most of us have built our rosters and you have a limited roster limit now, so if you invited somebody back to your team, that means you're kicking somebody else off your team right to match your roster. And I don't think that's fair to the players that worked all summer, all spring and put themselves in position to be ready to work for a team, you know, to have somebody come back. But ultimately, you know, it used to be once you had an agent, or once you went and did the combine, or once you went to many I mean, all those things qualified as you are no longer an amateur. You're a professional now once you declared for the draft. So to let any of those players come back, you know, fair or unfair to them, It's unfair to the sport. 00:36:11 Speaker 5: It's crazy dayque right literally, like you said, Hey Browns, let me out of here. I got a deal at LSU and he's gonna make more money. I guarantee you at LSU. And uh, by the way, Yeah, Dan Lanning brings up a point that's maybe not talked about enough, the fact that to add these fifth to year guys this late, you have to take somebody off the roster. 00:36:32 Speaker 1: Color on all the work that you asked them to do up into this point. 00:36:34 Speaker 5: Color me shocked that Lane Kiffin is willing to boot kids off the roster to have worked for him. Color me shocked. We will, I'm sure Mack have more tomorrow when the next story comes out of it. Lane Kiffin adds two more junction. 00:36:46 Speaker 1: Junction, what's the function when we come back Sounds of the weekend, you're gonna hear Willie pe Gold calls a national media member still stuck on bright young side, Nick Saban cussing for the seven hundred time on Live TV and Kurt Busch talks publicly for the first time about the day that Kyle died. It's all that and more. Sports Radio ninety two seven. 00:37:29 Speaker 3: A four man DC wall in front of them. Well, the Ork and Maestro pull one out of the bag. Pep chops it high into the area.

That was David Schnegg following up on a free kick, and Charlotte FC ends up winning at

three to one. The P Man raised his voice a few octaves and everybody went home. 00:38:27 Speaker 1: Happy man. It's a beautiful night at the bank. There's nothing happier. There's nothing better than a happy Willie Pey for all of us. Involved because when they draw or lose, we're all mac walking on eggshell's right here, especially Fitty Marlowe, who seems like Fitty Sometimes will He gets mad at Yeah. You do nothing back there, man, you do nothing. You're innocent, and Willy all of a sudden gets mad at you. 00:38:48 Speaker 6: I'd wait to see it this time for me to make it known. At six forty nine on a Monday, I'm mad at Willie. 00:38:55 Speaker 5: So oh no, oh, you guys can't go. You are like a I ain't married couple. You can't go a week whatever drama. Usually he's mad at you. What did just go ahead and give us the cliff notes? 00:39:05 Speaker 6: Well, I texted him yesterday afternoon. 00:39:08 Speaker 3: I had a couple of things. 00:39:09 Speaker 6: I wanted to talk to him about a couple I needed to talk to him about. 00:39:14 Speaker 3: And step Daddy didn't text back. Oh my gosh, so the horror. Couldn't he have made been with his wife? I mean all night their husbands and you don't take your marriage off when the sun goes down. 00:39:31 Speaker 6: I just felt you could have made some more time for a step son who had some video. 00:39:36 Speaker 1: You two are both so sensitive with each other, it's borderline on more than thirty miles of you. You won't text really back, fiddy, how did the text it. 00:39:45 Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say it. I'm not gonna say not gonna say anything about that. Let's move along here, due to time constraints, Bone, Let's move along and get to the sounds of some more sounds of the weekend. This was on Friday Night The Nightcap with o Cho and h UNC Shannon Sharp. They're talking about the NFL preseason games from Friday night, including Panthers Jags. You could tell o Cho still team Bryce and team Panthers. Shannon Sharp is still stuck on Bryce's size though. 00:40:17 Speaker 3: Hey, Bryce, you don't look good too. 00:40:19 Speaker 5: He has some great, great moves in the pocket, you know what I mean, just kind of slide and move. 00:40:23 Speaker 3: He looked good today. He's just so small man, he looked. Yeah, yeah, small. 00:40:29 Speaker 2: O Joe, Yeah yeah, I mean, it's a it's a few of them out there like that, both Nicks, Bo Nick small. 00:40:36 Speaker 3: No, I'm talking about this dude here. He might not weigh he might wear one hundred eight. 00:40:40 Speaker 2: About wait wait wise, Yeah you're not he's not that tall either. 00:40:44 Speaker 8: Yeah, you're right. 00:40:44 Speaker 3: He looked he looked thin. He looked real. 00:40:48 Speaker 2: Yeah small, yeah yeah, and his is his frame. He can only get so big. He can't get no bigger than that anyway, Nope, be that small. I know one thing he got great great ball players. He can anticipate it. He can anticipate his throws. And he's good at moving into as very very good pocket presence. 00:41:07 Speaker 3: Nice with it. I ha lome boot quickness. He do to the left a little bit, the right, up and back, all right. 00:41:13 Speaker 5: So Shannon Sharp took us on a ride there, bone boy, did we He's too small. 00:41:20 Speaker 3: He doesn't even weigh one eighty. 00:41:21 Speaker 5: And then by the end, yeah, he's got that phone booth quickness where he can move left right. And by the way, you saw that on the opening play of the game, that shiftiness. They run a bootleg, one of many bootlegs that Brad Insig dialed up, and there's a rusher there and Bryce just let me slide away from him a little bit. So I don't really know, like as Shannon Sharp saying, he's like because he's not thick, like he he can't like I don't know. We're in the we're in his fourth year now, like can we not evaluate him? 00:41:51 Speaker 3: And and by the way. 00:41:52 Speaker 5: It's one thing if you want to say, oh, I just don't think he's passing the middle field enough. I wonder if it's it's one thing if you say that, But like we've seen this dude take big time hits and come right on back. Like, what are we worried about with you know, him being you know not you know what I mean strong? 00:42:09 Speaker 3: I don't know. 00:42:10 Speaker 1: I don't view any weaknesses in his game or what he has to improve on. 00:42:14 Speaker 3: I don't. I don't view it as a size thing. 00:42:17 Speaker 1: He's got to be more aggressive with the ball down the field, But I don't think that's a that's not a oh my gosh, he's small, and that's a mindset of needing to take more risks down the field. We've seen him throw the deep ball down the field. I believe you have some numbers about deep ball passing in the league. I think it's more of a mental mindset thing than physical size thing. 00:42:36 Speaker 5: And this isn't even height, this is his weight. Yeah, listen, I get it. Not having a quarterback that can't run a quarterback sneak because he's so small is not ideal like that. That's I completely acknowledge that that is ideal. And I love the fact that Ocho stood up for him and said, here's the deal on here's what he's doing, man, Anticipation, reads progressions, things like that. 00:42:57 Speaker 3: Right, that is the part of the game. 00:42:59 Speaker 5: But that made him the number one pick. And you cannot deny when he goes to improvising, it's he makes special plays when he goes to improvise. 00:43:09 Speaker 1: I've seen Daniel Jones before try to do the touch push and his body breaks in half. And he's much bigger than Rightes Young. So I mean, not every it does. Sometimes it's I don't know, man, It's just it's so overblown on the size thing. I really truly believe that size does not matter when it comes to Bryce. He there you go via dude, and wait, Bone says it, clip it. Size does not matter. Clip that one. All right, let's move along here. Let's get to Nick Saban. 00:43:35 Speaker 5: Nick Saban must have a cuss on ESPN Lifetime Pass.

Either that Bone or the folks at ESPN are too scared to like yell at him or whatever. This one was on the MacAfee show. I guess it's just acceptable. This dude also cusses on game day on the regular. But it's not about the cussing here bone that is the notable part. It's about the fact that Mario Cristobaul, used to be an assistant on his staff, is contacting Nick Saban on the regular saying give some love to the damn ACC, and Nick Saban ain't having it. 00:44:08 Speaker 3: He crawls me up with this ACC. 00:44:16 Speaker 7: What's he saying, Hey, let's remember ACC, good conference? He just did it right? There? Is that the story he's telling you as well? 00:44:22 Speaker 10: Yeah, he's always trying to convince me that the ACC is better than the SEC. The SEC has nine teams in the top twenty five, that's all I know. But he's never going to convince me, never. 00:44:37 Speaker 8: Better than the SCC. 00:44:39 Speaker 7: All right, Well, Miami ACC school end up in the national Championship against Big ten school, so I assume he could always just throw that in your face and say who lasted long did the ACC do? 00:44:49 Speaker 5: So there you go. Chrystal Ball's try and Saban ain't have. By the way, Saban, you are quoting a preseason poll, bro Like, seriously, yeah. 00:44:58 Speaker 3: They're none ranked teams. He sees a poul ain't nobody played yet? 00:45:02 Speaker 5: Like, seriously, you really think Bone, the coach Nick Saban respected the preseason bawl. You think he really thought they knew exactly what they were talking about. Foreigny games were played, and now all of a sudden, he's using And don't get me wrong, I'm not even on here. I'm not trying to. I would be a buffoon to fight. The ACC is better and deeper. But I do believe Miami is better than any SEC team Personally. 00:45:23 Speaker 3: I don't disagree. 00:45:24 Speaker 1: But I think it's also pretty cool that ESPN gave country music star back. If he's the Airtime, that's awesome sports. 00:45:31 Speaker 3: I didn't know. I thought he was only a musician. Bone. 00:45:33 Speaker 1: I didn't know here for a while. I don't know, man. I was like, this guy does a lot of different stuff, last but nothing more Airtime. Last but not least. 00:45:43 Speaker 5: Kurt Busch went on to Today Show Friday morning and got emotional. Man, he I have not heard him talk Bone publicly about Kyle Busch's his brother Kyle's passing. This is Kurt talking about that day at the hospital. 00:46:00 Speaker 4: But it's there all day, hoping, praying, hoping for a turnaround. My dad wanted to remember him and the way that he wanted to remember him. People could choose if they wanted to or not. 00:46:15 Speaker 5: He didn't. 00:46:16 Speaker 8: He didn't want to see something like that. 00:46:18 Speaker 4: Yeah did you did you go with? 00:46:21 Speaker 9: Yes? 00:46:21 Speaker 4: What did you say? 00:46:24 Speaker 8: I got you? Man? 00:46:25 Speaker 4: Come on, I got you, got you? Come on, be strong. Just wasn't fair, man. 00:46:41 Speaker 3: It's tough to listen to it. 00:46:42 Speaker 5: Stuff to watch him too, man, as he's getting choked up talking about it. 00:46:46 Speaker 1: Didn't even imagine that to I don't know, it's hard to even find the words like cour just said it there. There's nothing I can follow up with that's gonna equal what he's going through. 00:46:55 Speaker 3: So that's already had. 00:46:56 Speaker 5: Like a head cold sinus situation, and next thing you know, he's at the win tunnel and he needs to be taken to the hospital emergency and that's it. You have no more time left with your brother. It just like that happened, man. And he's forty he was forty one. It's just it's it does it never will get any lesson. 00:47:12 Speaker 1: It's crazy, mad to think that we lost Biffle and Kyle Busch and they they spent their lives in the sport that is so dangerous, but yet we lose Greg Biffle, who did so much for people in a helicopter situation when he or a plane situation, excuse me, when he was done playing, and then Kyle racing, and then Kyle Busch, Ma, we lose him. 00:47:34 Speaker 3: That had nothing to do with racing. So these guys put their. 00:47:36 Speaker 1: Lives on the line how many times in racecars, and yet they were lost in different ways. 00:47:41 Speaker 5: That wasn't on the race drive, no doubt. Man, it's just sat as hell. And by the way, shout out to Samantha and Brexton Bush. They were out at Bowman Gray on Friday night. Samantha Busch's public strength is so tremendous for speaking again, Brexton was racing, So I wish the best for the Bush family. 00:47:57 Speaker 3: Man. 00:47:57 Speaker 1: When we come back, we turn our attention back to the Panthers who got a dub in Jacksonville on Friday. What did we like about the performance and do we still have any issues despite the seventeen point win. Mac Bonesports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ
