Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We got a short show post Rockies edition, post Rockies
back to back win edition. How meany times I got
to say that this year as the Rockies win six'
four over The Washington nationals almost called them the. Senators
she shows how OLD i. Am remember what was all
The montreal? Expos what DO i?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Know? Anyway five six six zero of.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
TEXT i got a lot of questions coming in and
get to some of those as well as a Former
bronco that is ON nfl team.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Radars get to that here in just a few.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Moments brian asks his number two referred to Ser Sanders
worth the headache as a.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
BACKUP i don't think they view him as the. BACKUP
i think.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
They view him as the, starter but he may not be,
ready and So Joe flacco would be the starter ostensibly if,
healthy Until chid Or sanders Or Dilly, gabriel if he
turns it on in training camp could suddenly become the.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Guy SO i don't think THEY i don't think they
view it that.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Way not it's certainly not a like A Tim tebow,
situation you, know where he's definitely not the, starter not
gonna be the, starter.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
And so it's you, Know it's one of those things.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Where you're asking, yourself do you really want to hold
pressers for the backup like a guy who's definitely gonna
be the Backup shade or they intend to take the starting.
Job Tim tebow was never signed by The jets or
anyone else to take the starting.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Job it just.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Still blows my mind that The browns Selected Dylan gabriel
Before Shador, sanders but now they're viewing him as the.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
WELL i mean just.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
PEOPLE i talk to, SOMEBODY i mean we you, know
we all know who he got here in, studio and
THEN i talked to some people up there that are on,
staff and it just kind of gives me a little
bit better. Insight and with the, gun, YEAH i mean
that's the way it. Goes Sometimes sometimes you draft AN
rg three and you wind.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Up with The Kirk. Cousins that's a good.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
One just saying five six six nine zero is the
text line and somebody asking what's going on with my?

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Guy Drew.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Lock back In, April drew signed a two, year five
million dollar deal to go back to The Seattle. Seahawks
he's gonna be the backup For Sam donald with The Seattle,
seahawks and he had left for the one year obviously to.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Go to The. Giants and.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
He had That week seventeen game against The colts where
he had five offensive, touchdowns a passer rating of one
fifty five point, three no, turnovers and led The giants
to a forty five thirty three victory over The, colts
which hosed the giants chances of.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Pealed you can't drave his, honor oh, Man just, funny just.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Funny how surprised would you be to See Drew locke
went started a couple of games for The seahawks this.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Year WHAT i mean With Sam darnold out, There, YEAH i,
MEAN i wouldn't be shocked if he got to start this.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Year drew has started a game in every season he's
been in the, league except that first season he was In.
Seattle he has twenty eight starts in his, career most
of which are with The, broncos twenty one of which
or with The. Broncos he had two starts with The

(03:24):
seahawks in twenty twenty three and five starts with The
giants last.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Year thirty four, touchdowns twenty eight.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Picks on his, CAREER a lot of people would have
thought that he was probably upside down on.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
That but now, anyway he's back In.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Seattle and he's there to back Up Sam, darnold at
least Initially.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Station.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
What else we got?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Here the six four to six is Bench just run
an apple on football preview and a scout Said Drake
greenlaw is a bad locker room.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Guy any truth that is.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
HOGWASH i, LIKE i cannot think of a more diametrically opposite.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Description Of Drake. GREENLAW i talked to people with The.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
NINERS i talked to the, MEDIA i talked to, PLAYERS
i talked to coaches over there when we Brought hufaga And,
greenlaw and that was something. Asked that was one of
the strengths that they said of who he, was called
him a great locker room, leader called him a team, leader.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
A fan favorite.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
GUY i don't know athlon football saying that the scout
said That Drake greenlaw is a bad locker room, Guy
i'm interested to know who wrote.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
That article for athlon because that is absolute.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Hogwash and that's not a reference to Green law having
played his college ball At, arkansas, which by the, way
that little history. TODAY i don't know if you guys
watched The College World series at, all but would pitcher
For arkansas nearly had a perfect, game wound up with

(06:03):
a no hitter the first shutout in The College World
series SINCE i believe the, nineties and the first no
hitter since the. Sixties he had nineteen strikeouts in the
complete game win.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Over was It Murray? State, yep The, Racers Murray State. Racers,
yeah you know the Other Murray state connection To.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Darkansas What Houston nutt coach Of Murray state before he Got,
yeah and then he became the head Coach Murray state
before he Went. Darkansas he set the nine inning strikeout
record with the. Strikeouts his quote after the, game when
they asked how he felt throwing a no hitter in
The College World, series he, SAID i shouldn't have hit that.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Guy that's. It that's All i've got to. Say, yeah
he's that, Dude like he, said you, KNOW i would
love for.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
The rockies to make an investment. There apparently he's supposed
to be a first round.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Pick, yeah oh, yeah he was still. Hitting he it
was one hundred and fifteen pitches in the game and
he's still hit in ninety seven ninety eight miles an
hour with.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Ease it wasn't like he was pressing too like as
you were watching him.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Throw just Somebody i'd love to see the Uh Colorado
rockies take a chance. On have you ever been to
The College World? Series that's on my like sports. View,
NO i have. Not that is one THING i have not.
DONE i think that would be so so much. FUN
i kind of, like at FIRST i thought it was.
Cheesy NOW i kind of want to do The field

(07:32):
Of dreams, game you, KNOW i think that'd be. Awesome,
look you, know like at FIRST i was, like this is,
crange and Then i'm, like you, know, ACTUALLY i.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Just love anything, that, LIKE i don't, know represents the
past of the.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
GAME i think that's.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Cool and you know they they bring out there the
old school jerseys and they have the kids play before
during The Little League World.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
SERIES i think all that stuff is. Cool.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah six four to six get Back in says it's
A broncos. Preview in the of Anonymous scout, Comments, yeah,
Again I'm i'm curious as to who put the work
in on, that because that is the literal opposite of
what his, teammates his coaches in the media in that
locker room In San francisco told me directly after we signed.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
HIM i mean the literal.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Opposite SO i have To i'll look that up later
and see see who wrote that and see you know
what they're saying specifically, There but that that is The
that is a one hundred and eighty degree opposite statement
from WHAT i was told when we Signed Ray. Greenlaw
you guys have any other questions five six six nine

(08:35):
zeros text.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Line there's a.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Team that is interested in Former broncos Safety Justin. Simmons
simmons currently a free agent after his having spent last
season with The Atlanta, falcons.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
And that team is The Carolina. PANTHERS i Think i've
heard you say that.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Before, Yeah jo obviously the defensive coordinator, there and they
have a. Connection The panthers have been in touch with
simmons representation about potentially joining the. Team no signings is
imminent right, now but they are interested in signing.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Him it makes.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Sense carolina wrapped up mini camp last. Week training camp
isn't set to begin to Late. July as we all,
Know simmons has familiarity With panthers defensive coordinator As Zero,
rivero who served in the same role with The broncos
back in twenty twenty. Two simmons led THE nfl with
six interceptions that.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Season, justin of.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Course was a third round pick back in twenty. Sixteen
spent his first eight seasons here In denver with The
broncos before being, released then signed a one year deal
with The falcons for twenty twenty. Four started sixteen games
to the, club finished the season with sixty two total,
tackles seven passes, defense two. Interceptions for his, Career justin
has seventy one career passes defense and thirty two interceptions

(09:58):
in one hundred and thirty four games with one hundred
and twenty four. STARTS i just gonna see That Justin
simmons still getting interested out. There HE i, mean he
played well last. Year it wasn't like he played. Poorly
still has something left in the, tank and So I'm
I'm i'm interested to see if he latches on. THERE

(10:27):
i think a lot of fans were upset when The
broncos Let Justin simmons, go But Brandon jones played pretty
well last year in his.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Stead.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
YEAH i MEAN i was one of those fans who
was pretty upset just because we had him on the
show every week AND i.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Sat on a personal, level great guy.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
And did so much for The denver, community and also
picked Off Patrick. Mahomes it seemed like every game we
played against The oh he.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Was The mahomes.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Kryptonite that was for whatever, reason whenever he they got
up Against, mahomes that was the.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
You, know that was the.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Thing but that being, said with the safety, room how
it looks, now you, know it worked out pretty damn
well for The, broncos.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Assuming Who fagus stays. Healthy the safety room does look pretty.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Good of, COURSE Pj lock still, back you, know and
in the rotation And Brandon jones And ufogga look to,
start and then you've got some younger. Guys you're hoping
one of them takes a little bit of a step up.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
This.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
YEAR i think a lot of people would hope it
would Be skinner just based on the size and the
ferocity of the hits that he. DOES i don't know
if you guys watch THE ufl at all this, season
but in the second, season THE tv and attendance numbers were.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
DOWN i don't. Fully THE ufl still sees the glasses half.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Full Jacob karmenecker of THE Usa today says THAT Ufl
President Russ brandon down played viewership concerns in advance of
the twenty twenty five championship. Game the league isn't worried
at all about the ratings. Decline the attendants issue is
a separate. Concern Saint louis obviously performed incredibly, well even
though the numbers were a bit down for twenty twenty.

(12:03):
Five elsewhere it's been a. Struggle In, memphis attendance was
down by more than forty two. Percent, michigan, though had
a jump of more than thirty. Percent attendance averaging eleven,
thousand six hundred and eighty one fans per, game more
than The Rockies nationals game.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Today there You.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
GO tv numbers for Or Saturday nights championship game BETWEEN
dc And michigan have not yet been. Released last, year
the title game had one point five to seven million.
Viewers the in person attendance for the games is there
a bit of another Red.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Flag championship game was held both years In Saint.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Louis the audience dropped from twenty seven three hundred ninety
six attending last year to fourteen five hundred and fifty
nine this.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Year although THE.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Ufl has played only two, seasons THE usfl played two
years before merging with THE xfl to create THE, ufl
and as far as spring football, goes a four year runs.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Pretty, rare if not.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Unprecedented prior to those guys, merging you had THE, aaf
The Alliance American Football, year THE xfl twenty, twenty which
was THE xfl second. Iteration THE, xfl of, course gone
through three iterations before merging to become THE.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Ufl you guys watch spring. Football you guys watch this?

Speaker 3 (13:20):
GAME i MEAN i watch, them But i'm. Weird i've
watched zero and the season is now. Over you said
the Championships cha Was?

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Saturday?

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yeah, YEAH i watched zero in past, Years and Maybe
i'm part of the. REASON i had, watched you, know
on Some saturdays And sundays when there's nothing else, On
i'd click over and see A ufl. Game BUT i
didn't watch a single snap this. Year oh, Id but
then you, Know i'm a degenerate and may have had
a little ride on.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
IT i did hear it was very easy to bet
on was very easy to.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
BET i will say that it's uh to me that
that league's like shooting fish in a, barrel because you
really can tell who has the talent who. Doesn't how'd
your guy do this year the quarterly d pretty? Good,
yeah a good and had another good. Year he's got
a book out now chronicling his. Journey you, KNOW i
called It The Spring, king and you know that's. UH

a book kind of chronicle his. Journey The Dallas cowboys
are talking to him about bringing him in for training,
camp you, know and all that kind of, stuff which
he's getting up there and he's thirty now he's getting up.
There so this might be getting to the end of
the you, know the end of all.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
That but the opportunities in THE. Nfl, yeah but.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
You, know as far as as far as everything, GOES i,
mean his career spring football, statistics you, know fifty three,
touchdowns almost ten thousand passing yards in spring. Football he's got,
well well better than a two to one touchdown interception ratio.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
It I'm i'm good with. That six four. SIX i
know you're high on The cowboys do? Great what AM i?

Speaker 1 (17:00):
MISSING i think they're gonna be okay on. Defense they're
not gonna be great on, Defense it'll be all. Right
the offense is gonna be a lot. BETTER i think
they're gonna be able to control the. BALL i think
they're gonna be able to move the.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Ball. Uh you got a division that's that's a lot tougher.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
THERE i don't know if they're going to bypass The eagles,
there but The cowboys gonna be a tough football team this.
Year it's gonna be interesting to see Them. Washington washington
might take a little bit of a step. Back it'd
be interesting to. See you, know that division is gonna
be One i'll have my eye on this year as
far as that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Goes with, that let's get to AN nfl six Pac
it's time for THE nfl six. Pad i'm gonna trade
the last year insight and inside information you can't find anywhere.
Else the top SIX nfl headlines.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
One with one of the top executives at three forty
Five Park avenue vacating his, office his job will not be.
Replaced for multiple, Reports Commissioner Roger goodell will not Replace Brian,
rolapp who had served twenty fourteen as Chief media And
Business officer for THE.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Nfl he will for THE, nfl he will.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Become THE ceo of THE Pga, Tour as explained By
Brian fisher Of Sports Business, Journal EXECUTIVE Vp Hans schroeder
likely will continue in his role as the top remaining
media executive while also possibly taking on more duties ROLE
aap we're told was indeed regarded as a potential successor To,
goodell With goadell showing no signs of moving, on And

(18:29):
roll app now fifty two years, old and.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
It apparently was time for him to do his own.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Thing whether he'll be a candidate When goadell eventually steps
down remains to be. Seen what do you make of
this move By Brian rolap leaving THE nfl in a
pretty high position to go be THE ceo of THE pga.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Tour is he's views the odds on favorite to Succeed
Roger goodell as THE nfl commissioner Once goodell does decide
to step, down AND i would say that this probably
only strengthens his candidacy going to THE PGA ta an
executive role and and you, know and going from. THERE
i believe that this, will uh will provide him with

(19:07):
a level experience that will make him a shoe in
to Replace Roger goodell When goodell ultimately steps. DOWN i
believe That goodell will probably stick with the league through
the NEXT cba and then after that start to reassess, that,
uh he has been an absolute money printing machine.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
For THE nfl since he's been.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
There a lot of people didn't like it when he
first came. On he was going to Be Sheriff rodge
and clean this clean this league, up you, know with
all the conduct. Stuff but you, know as it's rolled,
on the owners are very very happy With goodell because
he knows exactly what his job, is and that's to
take all the criticism that the owners probably should, take
and he knows how to make the.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Money and he keeps making the league. Money and he.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Has found ways to navigate the the the gambling.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Thing, uh he's found ways to to continue to jack.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Up broadcasting, rights and he's led THE nfl into the
most successful by far sports enterprise and support enterprise In.
America you, KNOW, i LIKE i, SAID i think he's
probably he'll be around until certainly through the NEXT cba
and then after that started to make a. Decision but
Roll up is to success. OR i, mean that's that's the,

(20:13):
guy unless he decides he doesn't want it.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
And wins the NEXT cba twenty.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Thirty, okay So Roger, goodell now sixty, six will be
entering his. Seventies, YEAH i THINK i can get through.
THAT i think he'll get up through, that AND i
think at that point he's you, know that's that's what he.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Steps aside Two.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Saquon barkley taking it a little easier this. Offseason The
eagles running Back Saquon barkley never took it easy during
the twenty twenty four, season but his approach to this
off season was. Different, barkley of, course was named The
Offensive player of The year for his regular season, work
and he helped carry The eagles to.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
A Super bowl.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Title it added up to four hundred and eighty two
touches and then almost as many hits from opposing players
over the course of the, season which meant That barkley
got similar advice from everyone he asked about how he
should handle his prep for twenty twenty. Five barkley said
he spoke to head Coach Nick sirianni and running backs
Coach Jamal, singleton as well As hall Of Famer's Marshall

(21:12):
fulk And Edrin james about his plans and that he
followed their. Advice he went on to say it wasn't
hard because EVERYONE i trust put me basically to sit
my butt down for a little. Bit you've got to be, smarter.
Right you have your moments where you go in there
and you grind you push, it but the majority of
those days is just, mobility, conditioning doing all the things

(21:32):
to get your body in shape perform at a high.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Level it was a.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Lot of, workload but my body feels, Great so that's
the most important. Thing what do you think About Saquon
barkley deciding to take it a little easier this.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
OFFSEASON i think it's a good thing for.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
IT i mean last year there was sort of an
intensity to that because he hadn't signed that big money
deal that he, wanted and SO i think they're hoping
that they cannot wear him down as much over the
course of this season and be able, to you, know
continue to use him at a high. LEVEL i, mean
we all saw what that team looked like with him
The rock last, year SO i think they want him

(22:08):
to maybe maybe dial it jack just a little bit
on the off season, preparation so the body is perhaps
in better shape going into the, season and they, are you,
know they're able to utilize him in. WAYS i think
that did benefit him a little bit more and benefit
them a little.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
More, yeah it just feels like they're not the same
team before or Without Saquon, barkley you. KNOW i, mean
he brings a lot to that offense that opens up
the downfield shots to their wide receivers and more running
room From Jalen.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Hurts oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Absolutely he is the he's the engine and as he,
goes that team. Goes SO i think that they are
mainly looking at it, is, hey look what we want
to make sure that you're not overdoing it in the
offseason and you're coming into the season fresh.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
And prem his comments a couple of weeks, ago maybe
they've only got a couple more seasons with, Him.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Well, YEAH i think the other part of, this you,
know he certainly had lengthy season last. Year you know
with The, giants he certainly wasn't making the playoffs right
by far games, right you, know those extra. Games and
so you, know again LIKE i, said the, body you,
know you look at running backs that have big carries like,
that they tend to wear to, everybody But Derrick henry
tends to wear.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Down so Three vikings Receiver Jordan addison has a trial
date arising From july twenty twenty four a dui citation
Via Kevin seifert OF espn dot. COM a jury trial
will commence On july, fifteenth and A california.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Court for those that don't remember In.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
July of twenty twenty, Four addison was found asleep at
the wheel At Lax. Airport he is accused of driving
under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood
alcohol concentration and excess of the legal, limit but both
of those are. Misdemeanors the related complication comes from the
NFL's Substance Abuse policy baseline punishment for first OFFENSE dui

(23:55):
is a three game. Suspension the NFL's procedure becomes activated
by resolution of the criminal, case either a conviction or
an admission within the, context for, example entering a diversion,
program accepting deferred, education or pleading no contest triggers a.
Suspension so does this mean That Jordan addison is most

(24:16):
likely going to get a three game suspension from THE?

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Nfl, YEAH i.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
THINK i mean they're taking this thing to, trial which
to me suggests that they believe they can beat.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
It typically you don't have much.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Luck beating those, things so that's that's interesting to. Me
there's at least something to certainly to, note but odds
are probably pretty, good especially if he winds up, losing
he's going to get the three game, Suspension so you,
know he's bought this thing this way this. FAR i
guess he's you, know going down with the ship as it.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Were but we'll.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
SEE i, mean it felt like at the, time based
on the information at the, time that.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
He looked pretty guilty of all.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
THIS i don't know what new thing they're going to
present that he could beat.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
It, yeah some sort of maybe prisc medication or something
he was on that made him react this. Way but
if he wins the case and has not proven, guilty
THE nfl can still issue a, suspension, Right, yeah if
they find enough evidence in their Own.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Well, no it has to be LIKE i, said he
has to plead, guilty be found. Guilty that's part of
the NEW cba is that there has to be an
element of guilt to, it rather than just the commission
or arbitrarily, deciding you, know sheriff rog arbitrarily, Deciding, hey
looks this looks.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Bad you're getting suspended.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
For it hasn't taken long For texans wide Receiver Christian
kirk to become impressed with QUARTERBACK.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Cj.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
Stroud kirk said On SERIOUS XM nfl radio that the
twenty three year Old stroud runs the offense like a seasoned.
Veteran he, said the thing that sticks out ABOUT cj
is he's super mild, mannered but he has a lot of.
Confidence he's smart and sees things.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Well he's a really.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
Good, communicator AND i think with that position and him
being a younger, guy that's a big part of him
getting to where he is now and still. EXCELLING a
communication piece with not only the, receivers but new offensive,
coordinator offensive, line whatever the case may, be is just
open communication and us being all on the same page
to help him. Excel he, said he's going to take

(26:16):
this team as far as we want to.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Go with him being at his, Best.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
He's been great within a few months of spending time around,
him communicating with him in the locker, room outside the.
Facility he's got a bright future And i'm really excited
to get to work with him after a little bit
of a sophomore slump last. Year what are your expectations
FOR Cj stroud this?

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Year while the question is going to be all about
the offensive, line which is, revamped you Got Titus howard
who's now shifted a right. Guard they brought In lake
And tomlinson a left, Guard Cam robinson a left, Tackle
they brought In Trent brown as well At, Ingram Jake,
andrews they Drafted.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
URSERY i, mean the key here is going to be.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
The offensive line and then schematically doing something differ than
they were doing Under Bobby. Sloyd Bobby sloyd liked to
leave the that that left tackle out on kind of an.
Island he would shift the right side everybody else and
they leave the left tackle on. Island, well what teams
realized was is that they pre, snapped they overloaded the right,
side and then they disguised the left and then set
two guys out the.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Left you got one guy to handle, it and so
that was kind.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Of the that for. Them that was the way that
they were able to beat. That we saw the decline
last year in CJ's productivity because of. It so, uh
schematically they're gonna have to be a little bit, different
uh this, year especially with with that, line and then
those guys are gonna have to hold up under a
new offensive, Coordinator Nick. Kayley they've added they had A
Christian kirk at the. Slot they Drafted Jayden. Higgins, uh

(27:41):
they Drafted Jalen, Knowl they Added Justin watson And Braxton.
Barrio so they they've added a bunch of bodies at
the receiver position as, well and then of course they
Signed Nick. Chubb so it's gonna be it's gonna be
fascinating to see this is this is a different looking,
team and they're gonna be a different look on.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Offense you, know bad.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Division they should be able to to do all, Right,
man what a downfall For Bobby slowick two years ago
being one of the hottest names and all the head coaching.
Circles where's he at now in the living? Room, no
not on anybody's STAT i think he might.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Be on The niners as like a. CONSULTANT i have
to go back and. Look BUT i, mean you, KNOW
i mean you got figured. Out you didn't adjust. Anything oh, Okay,
yeah he's With. Miami i'm, okay he's With.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Miami mike.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
McDaniel they go back to The niners. Days so he's
the passing game coordinator for The.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Dolphins.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Five panthers running Back Cuba hubbard has played his entire
four year career In, carolina and he has yet to
play on a winning. Team, obviously as he heads into year,
five he's eager to change. That hubbard Told Scott fowler
of The Charlotte observer that The panthers have assembled a
team that can realistically.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Think about winning a. Championship if the.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Goal isn't to make the playoffs and win A Super,
Bowl hubbard, said you're selling yourself. Short so that's always
been the that's the goal this, year AND i think
we're the closest we've ever. Been Teammate Adam thieland said
The panthers know it's past time to turn things. Around,
SAID i think guys are finally sick of being the same,
old same Old Carolina.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
PANTHERS i think we want to.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Get back to what they did here in the past
in twenty fifteen and some of those other years when
they had deep playoff runs and had the crowd involved
and the city hyped.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Up we haven't had.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
That what do you think Of Tuba hubbard saying that
The Super.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Bowl is a?

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Goal and what are your expectations for The panthers in
year two Under Dave.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Canalis i've Known canalis for fifteen.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Years, music great, guy and if anybody can turn it,
around it'll be. Him they really didn't do that much
on the offensive side of the. Ball they Drafted tech.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
McMillan they Drafted Jimmy horne out Of colorado in the
sixth and they Added Rico dowdle in free, agency but
they really didn't do much to the two D Now
Hudder renfro is trying to make a comeback with The.
Panthers that'll be. Interesting but largely that team's basically the
same team on offense as it.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Was all the change came on.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Defense they added Up Bobby brown the third of the,
Nose Treshaun wharton at the right, End Patrick jones at
the outside, Backer Trayvon morrigant's strong. Safety they're talking to
try to Get Justin simmons at the free. Safety they Got,
rosenboom they added at the inside. Backer they you, know
the team is is largely revamped on.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Defense it's gonna be it'll be interesting to.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
SEE i don't know if that's a soft, division but
it feels to me like The bucks are probably the
team that's in charge of that division for now With Baker,
mayfield The, falcons who knows, What Michael pennocks and The
saints look like a disaster waiting to happen all the
way around After car, Retired so that'll be you, know
it's it's an open, division but it's a division that
looks like that there's a, clear delineated, winner and then

(30:46):
after that it's anybody's.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Guess so you're, saying there's a, chance there's always a.
Chance sick.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
