Speaker 1 (00:03):
Oh oh, and Mack and Bow on your radio, Baby.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Listen to my freem back, posh, Come on, posh.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
This in my freem team Bone.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
What's the fun? I can't go to work without listening
to the Mac.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
And Bone do a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Do you think cable play against estimate?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Absolutely, I said he was trying to play tonight come
back in the air.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
But I'm sure he'll be storing more and we'll have
to waiting. Y'all ask me every day how he's doing.
Speaker 5 (00:38):
And uh, I'll say the same thing.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
But yeah, I mean, I don't see anything at this
point that he wouldn't.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
Think can happen.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
That is Dabbo after the game talking about Kate Club
Knick's ankle injury. He comes out, But at that point
Bone their work was done and they had themselves a
big thirty four to ten lead, and they ended up
winning it forty one to ten on Saturday. The opponents
have obviously been Bone. They get right formula for them.
(01:13):
We'll see if it carries over to SMU. But yeah,
this is a key Club Nick we were expecting to
see when the season started.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's night and day.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
This this looks like the guy that we saw last
year most of the time.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
What's helped Clemston sort of find their way here in
the last couple weeks post bye week, Mac, I don't
want to take away from Clemston showing life. It's that
they've played UNC in Boston College. Also. That's certainly helped
Clemson look like Clemson. I think here that's been schedule
played out in their favor. Bye week then UNC ANDBC
(01:45):
back to back has got THEMN well feel good about
themselves really for the first time all season.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It could with that SMU come U. I still think
they could win out. I don't think it'd be shocking
if they want out now. Is that going to accomplish anything?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Though?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
It'll be nine and three and they'll get a little
you know, it'd be like the Tyler and Spartanburg here
when they rally, they get a little slow clap or whatever.
But there's talent there. I don't think we ever disputed
that there's talent there.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Right, Yeah, No, it's not a talent issue. It was
a whether it was a chemistry issue, whatever was going
on there was not for their their talent just it
was not metching together to start.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I think this is big for confidence and I think
this could start a run. They got an SMU team
Bone that I think is real vulnerable on defense. I
would not be shocked if Club Nick goes off against them.
Dabo seem to think on Saturday night, Hey, the injury,
he was trying to come back in the game. The
injury is going to be okay. It's pumped or pised.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Could be a look ahead factor though they're playing one
of the teams in first place November one, the Duke Devils,
although Duke's shamelessly I had to get that in there.
Dude's got their own first place battle this week against
Georgia tex So.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
If you if you're keeping score on Pump to Piss Monday,
Bone has downplayed Clemson, has propped up a Duke team
that didn't play this week, and has not talked yet
about South Carolina. All right, we are just getting started, though,
make him do so on the piss version of Pump
to Piss Monday.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Still down there, fella. I'm not downplaying question, but they
just happened to get in North Carolina and BC. God forbid.
I need to see a little more before I buy
back into a team I had the National Championship game.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I understand it. I understand it. I'm thinking, I'm thinking
this will do wonders for confidence. I definitely am by
the way straight home games coming up. Peter Woods short
yardage back. I like that as well. That that is
something that is a nice little wrinkle. Speaking of Biggins
as short yardage backs. How about what Alabama continues to
do with Caden Proctor. First it was the screen pass,
(03:43):
Then it was the short yardage like you know, give
to to Proctor out of the backfield. And this week
it was the wild fat That's what I'm calling it.
It was the wildcat snap to your left tackle. That's
a good one, and of course he got the first down.
He's an athlete at that size man for Alabama.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I one of the true joys in watching football is
big men on the move or whether it's catching passes,
running the ball. Fix six is. You give me a
big man on the move and I'm completely glued to
the television. It's great big men moving. That's my jam.
It's impressive. It's impressive. You saw his footwork on that run,
(04:21):
man Like, that's that's freakish. That is freakish. Athleticist Alice
Derek Brown backfield. So let's yeah, who forget about Rico
and chewba good dB and the backer's trying to stop
Derek Brown on a touch push Jason, had you trying
to push that touch? Pumped or piss Monday? All right?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
So I want to hear from fans, Aliburn fans, you
best be pissed off. Can we get a pissed off
Alburt fan because y'all got absolutely screwed.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
That was absurd, and by the way, it's not the
first time they've been screwed this year. That Oklahoma touchdown
bone was supposed to be an illegal play and the
refs couldn't figure it out and apologized afterwards. How the
hell was that not a touchdown for Jackson Artol should
have been seventeen nothing going into the damn half the
other night? Oh that was that was some all time
highway robbery, all time bad reffing in that game multiple times,
(05:08):
and you know it's bad, Mac, But Sean McDonough's just
a gas that what he's seeing that that goal line
angle of Jackson Arnold.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
How do we all see it? How does the broadcast
see it? And yet the referees don't see it? In
this day and age. That biggles me. Mind. How can
you have a shot right down the line?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
That's the whole point of the shot, right down the line, Like,
how can you mess it up? And you're staring right
down the line? And that completely changed the game. Now,
is Auburn fragile? Is all get out? Yeah, they're fragile.
They folded like a They folded.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Like a cheap tent at that point.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
But the fact is bone that it shouldn't have been
the case, and they were dominating that half. Georgia had
twenty yards of offense in twenty nine minutes and that
just gave them life.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Man, Auburn never scored a point again the rest of
the game. After that, they were it was about to
be blowout city for Auburn. Then the whole clapping fiasco
where Kirby Smart claims that he was clapping and calling
a time out. Hey, well, I almost respect the boldface
wye like the worst the lie is Jerry Jones, Kirby Smart.
(06:08):
If you why and we all know it, I almost
respect it in a way. It was such a while
I wasn't calling time out, I was copping yay day.
That's shameless that's Cheye's gey.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You weren't already he already got one at the other
end at the end of the first I mean, it's
just seriously, just stop.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Did you see the Auburn A D trying to chase
down the referees at halftime? The Auburn AD was being
held back from an that's highway robber. It was Hugh
Freeze and the Auburn A D being held back from
the referees.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
That is that was how I don't blame him one
hundred percent. That was some of the biggest highway robbery
I've ever watched in a live sporting event like that
was just horrible. I feel for Auburn fans now, Hugh
Freeze his fanny as hottest can be.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Man, it really is.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
As far as pumped up fans, wake Forest absolutely, Like
I know, we only have.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So many deep fans out there.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I know you're not the loudest fan base, but you
put it on Oregon State the other day, and I
know Oregon State's not that good, but for wake Forest
to be up three to two nothing in this game,
bone and I'm telling you, DeShawn Purty, Jake Dickard's got
something to think about Deshaun perty gives him another dimension.
Ashford's been good, right, and they were winning games with them,
they were competitive with them. DeShawn Purdy the way he
(07:17):
throws the ball deep, that's another dimension for wake for
as they are four and two.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And led in the other two games.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
That they lost by fourteen and by seventeen, Like that's
one was to a ranked team man Georgia Tech down
by seventeen. They got highway robbery.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, Jake Dickers is putting himself a position as at
this point of the year ACC Coach of the Year
caliber performance. What a what a higher he has been.
I love the energy, I love the enthusiasm, I love
the way he connected with players. Mack he basically is
the complete opposite of one William Eugene Belichick.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
He's an actual college football coach. They hired an actual
college football coach instead of some old NFL has been
costplaying as a college football coach, like seriously with his
buddy who wasn't even a good executive costplaying as a
college football as the highest college football pay GM. But
I digress. It's not about the damn heels. They weren't
even playing And we'll talk about them later because they're
(08:17):
more reports. It was a bye weekend, but the reporters
didn't take off the weekend. App State bone has got
something cooking with with JJ Cole at quarterback. That was
an impressive beatdown of Georgia State the other day, So
I think if you're an app State fan, I think
you can get pumped. I'm noticing Charlotte fans texting in
what am I supposed to be pissed anymore as a
(08:38):
Niner fan because I think I'm numb. Army got him
the other day, ran it down their throats for three
hundred and four yards. Bony Our Niner fans must be
pissed or numb right now.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Numb. Probably you wanted results that were better, but you
got to give Tim Albin a little more time to
clean up the mess that Biff pod you left in
the yard. So it's going to take longer, I think
than we even thought. Don't give up on alb and
this is not a quick turnaround situation. You hope that
maybe by the end of the year the last couple
of games, Charlotte's more competitive. But I would not give
(09:14):
up on Tim Alban. He did an absolutely ridiculous job
at Ohio. But you've got to let him try to
figure this whole thing out, because Biff did not exactly
leave this thing back check my notes in good shape here.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
No.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I mean he brought in tons of new players, a
lot of them are his own guys from Ohio.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
He was three.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
He had three wins his first season at Ohio, and
when he left there, he had three straight ten win seasons.
I think the program only had one or two ten
win season. I think it was one. Yeah, So that
program that had one ten win season, he ended up
his tenure there with three straight. So I do think
he's a program builder. Now, does Charlotte have the resources?
It's a different game, right, it's a different game now.
(09:53):
Does he have the resources at Charlotte to be able
to build? I think that's a legitimate question. They have
to find themselves a quarterback bone. Wilkie wasn't the answer yesterday.
Loftus showed a little something late. But we've seen this before.
The guy that comes in late seems to like all
of a sudden, like look good for Charlotte and mop
up time, and then he gets to start the next
(10:14):
week and it's like, oh, that guy's nig so I
don't they need to get a damn clarn't had a
quarterback since I didn't trust since Chris Reynolds, and that
might be the only quarterback they've ever had in program
history they could trust. Here's here's the issue with the
schedule the rest of the way and trying to get
another win for Charlotte. They played Temple this weekend, who
just lost a Navy in the last second. Temple's five hundred.
(10:34):
Then they play North Texas at East Carolina utsa five hundred.
They finish at Georgia and at Tulayne. So their last
three road games are at ECU, Georgia and Tulayne, and
they've got Temple in North Texas coming up at home.
Getting to a second win here might be a challenge
for Tim Alben. It might not happen. Monmouth in the
(10:58):
last seconds might be their only win of this. In
fairness to Alvin, there's a ton of injuries there. There's
a ton of injuries too, and I'm not sure they're
at the point as a program where they can. I mean,
let's face it, the first game of the season, it
wasn't exactly pretty against app State. Uh, Texas.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
By the way, Tim Alban, you might want to eventually, Yeah,
get George off schedule there, Timmy, I want to get
that out of there.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Oh yeah maybe this year. Like I just don't play
that game. Karby doesn't even need to whine in that game.
All right, everythings gonna be. They're not even gonna need
a call to get jump started in that game.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
So we got State fans, and we got South Carolina
fans texting in seven oh four number. I'm a State
fan and I'm numb am I supposed to be angry anymore?
And then we got a South Carolina fan that says,
I love you guys, but how are you not talking
about the fan base that should be the most pissed
today of anybody in the Carolinas. What a garbage offensive
(11:51):
line and a garbage supporting cast for.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Hope.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Was I gonna say lador I was gonna call lador, well,
they need to show the parts. No, you're right, they
need to show Mike schule at the lador Is Shula Listen,
far be it from me. I bitched about Schuela a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
This guy's right though.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
The receiving options we talked about for the season for
Sellers and the offensive line are pretty terrible.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
One thing that hurts them. First of all, they're one
twenty third in the country in offense with the Nora
Sellers as the quarterback. I don't even know how you
even get that low when you have a guy that
we thought might win the Heisman Trophy when the year begin.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I think it is he overrated. That's another one that's
coming in. A lot people saying he's overrated. I don't
think he's got any help. The offensive line gives him
no help. They can't really do design runs. All the
running around he does is running for his wife. I
think the biggest problem. Jacobs has been all right at
wide receiver. He's been alright compared to the other guys.
He had a couple of big games. This week he
(12:54):
was right back with the rest of it. I understand,
but that's what I'm saying. They don't have a lot
of options. I think Harbor's lack of development. Remember in
the offseason, we said Harbor's got to become that dude.
He's got to become the video game electric version, or
this offense will not have the separators down the field.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Harbor, to me I'm out on him. I just he's
a junior. Now, the basics aren't there. I can't tell
you how many times a guy comes across the middle
and he doesn't make the catch because he's moving too fast,
he's looking upfield. He can make plays down the field
once in a while, but he's nothing like we thought,
and question is a waste of tell a guy that
was a five star defensive talent as well. Makes you
(13:33):
wonder if for three years now they've had him out
the wrong spot on the team. You could have him
a Stewart, but you could have him and Stewart as
a DN. That might be a valid question. I just
I'm out on him.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
You're also an undisciplined team, thirteen penalties. You're not good
enough to overcome that death valley with that offense. You
finally did run the ball, But I tend to think
I listen. I'm sure we might talk about it this week.
There's a lot of people saying Lenora Sellers is overrated.
I disagree with I think he has no help. He
was pressured sixty five percent of the time. I thought
he pulled a Houdini job. Not to be sacked more
than five times. They did start to use more design
(14:07):
runs with him. It worked at times. You got a
credit Lsu. That defense is fierce. They've got athletes all
over the place running after him, and he did a
good job to try to create something bony could have
been worse. If they don't punch the ball out the
one inch line bone, this game's even work.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
They're not even in the game. Was the throw he
made against Missouri and how he kept them in the
football game, And tell me the guy's overeat He was
unbelievable in that game. He just has no he has
to do it all. He can't throw the ball and
catch the ball himself. I mean maybe he could maybe
didn't you try that? NC State fan says, he is
what you justille bunching over there, Tommy Cannet, throw the
ball and catch the ball. Uh yeah, and they're there.
(14:44):
It doesn't get any easier. And angry Oklahoma teams coming
in next week. This is brutal This South Carolina season,
Like I I they are Bowl game is in jeopardy.
I feel like for South Carolina like in legit jeopardy.
I mean, when when you've got Oklahoma, Obama, Ole, miss
A and m and Clemson playing better on there. Yeah,
(15:04):
it's absolutely in Jeppard.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
NC State fan says he's numb bone. Yeah, I get that,
like I think they got. They ended up losing by
twenty nine. I think we all thought they were gonna
lose by a ton of points. The defense kind of
put up a fight again, Bony, this game could have
been fifty something to seven. They stopped Notre Dame three
(15:26):
times inside the ten, forced to fumble, and then stopped
them on fourth down twice, but ultimately Notre Dame is
so much better than them. CJ. Bailey's turnover issue is
a little concerning to me. And when Notre Dame stuffed
their run bone and it was all on CJ. Bailey,
that was not a good sign. He needs a run
game to support him.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
But CJ.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Bailey had three more interceptions. I don't know what the
turn out. Have to look up the turnover numbers for him.
They have been atrocious here the last three weeks. They're
not good enough to overcome that man. Getting to a
bowl game for NC State's going to be a challenge.
They have four wins right now, but their next three
games are Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech, and Miami Uh, they could
lose all three of those. Then they have Florida State
and North Carolina. So even if they beat Carolina, that's five.
(16:11):
It very well may come down to that NC Florida
State NC State game on November twenty first, and we
have mac. We have no idea what Florida State team
that could be on November twenty first, because they started
the year well now they're struggling. So it may come
down to that for ball eligibility for NC State this
year because the next three the way Pittsburgh's playing, maybe
NC State and South Carolina can play in the Toilet Bowl.
(16:32):
We get a sponsor for we get like Rodo Ruter
to sponsor it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Way, do you know who the winter plays? Who's that
Pen State?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
We do back?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
How's it feel to be on our level? Now? It
was a Northwestern fan by the way, apparently looking for you.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I listen, you guys, You guys should be pissed off
NC State fans. South Carolina fans. You ain't nothing compared
to the fury Penn Station fans feel. This is a
team that people thought was a national championship team and
they're hot garbage. They're absolute pansies in the trenches and
they now are looking for a head coach.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Anyway. We'll get into that. We'll get into that in
the final hour of the show.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
People Want, People Want, James Franklin and Penn State venting.
That will happen in the final hour of the show
when we come back.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Pulse the Panther nation call seven oh four five, seven
h nine six, take it on the phone lines and
talk about the Panthers winning streak. Sports Radio ninety two
seven WFNZ.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Rico, it's your message as up to the capital Sports
your message after you had one buckled up, they wasn't
buckled up? Straight faced man, God bless Rico Dala. What
did God send? He has been with Shuba hurt the
(17:59):
lamb two weeks for him to do it.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
How good must that feel? Bone?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
To just go off against your former team, say get
off me over and over again as they try to
tackle him. You put up a franchise record two unto
thirty nine total yards, one eighty three rushing one twenty
two according to next Jet after contact, How good did
I hope he had himself a nice little drink, nice
little sycamore or two?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Bone? What's say he got home yes, he deserves it.
I know you have it in your note, That's why
I'm asking you. But how many does he have total
the last two weeks? Rico?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I know you had the team total right four hundred
something yards from scrimmage. He has four to seventy three
in the last two games. You might absolutely.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
He's about one more game from getting Pro Bowl votes.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
That contract, that contract in his offseason keeps going up.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Anyway, we should we should put Jerry's face on the
video board every game so we's back there when he's
back there is about the run he sees Jerry's face something.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Panther fans, how do you feel man? If you were
at the game yesterday, did you enjoy the feeling I did,
which is Cowboy fans being quiet after the game on
the walk back to our cars, just quiet as hell.
It was beautiful, sad and depressed looking. Jerry Jones didn't
even do his weekly presser after the game. Rico shut
(19:17):
him up. What do you guys think, Panther fans? Are
you feeling excited about this team? How enjoyable was yesterday?
And then we also have questions to talk through, like
what should be the plan with Chuba coming back. I
can't imagine bone that Chuba Hubber should There's no way.
And I love Cuba, you can't insert him as the
(19:38):
lead back right back in.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
To me, he's too high. He's not. It's not like
he had some nice games. He's he's historically been good
the last No, no, no, no, he's he's got to be
the guy, Subaman be the guy going forward how it
plays out because of the contract in Rico being a
free agent, but for right now, right how would you
how would you explain right now to anybody, whether it
be the team, the fan, whatever, that yeah, we're gonna go.
(20:02):
Even Chow was probably right now, this dude, I'm a
team guy like this dude deserves to run the football
right now.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
You go around that hot hand while you can. Man,
they'll because hopefully they'll be carries for both these boys.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Is a work horse. Work horse. May have had a
slight mishap on Twitter yesterday when I forgot the s
and horts.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
That was unforcogized to all the doubtles. That was very unfortunate.
The run defense too, God, When you can beat people's
hig knees into trenches, you gonna win football games. They
give up Bone thirty one rush yards after nineteen last week,
they're up to tenth in rush defense. This is the
identity we've been waiting for from the Canalis era. They
(20:42):
are forming an identity. So whatever y'all want to talk
about on the show, we'll talk about the Excel lateral
as well, one of the most bonetted moments in Panther history.
But I want you guys to line up bring this energy.
Are y'all feeling like progress is happening and are you
excited about it? I want to hear from excited Panther
(21:02):
fans today seven oh four, five, seven, nine sixtent. It
is the pulse of Panther Nation. Let's start us off
with game Cock. Kevin, Kevin, how you feeling, man, Well.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
You already know how I feel now.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
First of all, I see you conveniently left Pennistate out
the pump the piss segment.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Bone.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
Thank you for calling him out, Bone, Thank you for
calling b Bop out. This ain't a day for Bebop Shenanigans.
Bebop you could go back to Walmart l wherever you
were and greet the people at the front door.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Clown.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
Now, let's get to it ric o'dowdell. Sixty percent of
the carries Tuba Hubb of forty. We all know that
there's going to be politics played in the NFL. Tuba
just signed the contract, so it'll probably be sixty percent
Cuber forty percent Rinco. But Dave Canalis, it is very
(21:55):
clear that when we have a running game, it expentuates
Bryce Yo, the identity that you talked about earlier. Mac,
it is starting to show. I was so high and
cowboy fans. I know all y'all can hear the show
all y'all because y'all talk about yesterday it was a
Texas takeover? How the hell is it the Texas takeover
(22:17):
when you live in southern South Carolina, when you live
in Castonia, North Carolina, y'all clowns should have came over
a long time ago, and you need to take your
asses back down to the Walmart that you work at.
Speaker 10 (22:31):
I love it.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
For a worst team Jones, keep living, keep doing your thing.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
We love it, Mac, and I'm out on that.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
That's call. That's Kevin, that's Kevin j plus games game.
If Jerry Jones face could generate tears, whatever, Yes, I
love it, man, I love it You're right.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
These cowboy fans are shameless, man, absolutely shameless, busting in
here from Gastonia, from Dallas, North Carolina, where they think
the stadium is for the Cowboys. God, we sent them
home angry. They ever drive around looking for Jerry's world
in their own.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Time, Evince.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I'm convinced that they have tickets phone and they're like,
why can't I find the stabum is Dallas? All right,
let's go to the phone here. It feels good to
be relevant, and it's the way we did it too.
Just punching them in the mouth on both sides of
the ball in the run game was beautiful. Seven O
four five, seven, nine six ten. Will is from Dallas. Well,
(23:32):
what's going on man? How you doing?
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Good morning?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Mac?
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Well, first, I want to congratulate you on the on
the return of Matt rule to your life.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Oh no, don't do that.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
That's exciting.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
I'm very happy for you.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
I'm gonna have some flowers.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
To give out.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I owe Bryce Young some flowers. He played very well yesterday.
That's exactly what you want from a quarterback like like
Bryce obviously Rico, but there are other guys too. I
want to give flowers the guys like Brady Christians and
who helped set up some of that run game, and
he's stepped in the in a real way on the
opposive line. I just want to get flowers to me
because I've been right this whole time about Jimmy Horn,
(24:08):
and we got to do more things with Jimmy Horn.
And he looked great yesterday giving him the ball in
creative ways. It's kind of like Philly Brown, but a
little bit faster to me. The only other thing I'll say,
I mean, obviously, we've got to trade a few folks.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Are you guys I'm.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Trading this week? This week, I'm trading Mike Jackson this week.
I don't know if you're gonna get a lot for him,
but we got.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
To do something about that.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
And I'm trading Xavier.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
To get uh if you can get any of it.
But honestly, if you get anybody who can help this
team kind of get from three to three to five
and three, yeah, it's gonna be probably building out the
linebacking corps, in the in the defensive backfield. So those
are my thoughts today.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
All right, Appreciate the fun call, Kevin, because the text
line is is basically annointing keV. Game got Kevin as
a Hall of Famer. Right now, Twin, Cowboy Twin was
so inspired h by Game got Kevin, he may switch teams.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Now, Oh there we go, baby, he goes CALLI Fitty's Cowboy.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
The twins friends are sending us Facebook photos of the
past where Cowboy Twin may root for the Panthers and
the Cowboy. Oh no.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
As far as trader Will goes bone, you know you're
making progress when he now wants to trade the players
that are struggling as opposed to our best players. That's
that's how you know we are making progress, Bony, that's
got good dude, that is good news for us here
during Will's trading phone calls. How about we just play ball.
How about we just keep everybody. We got something growing here,
(25:38):
and we keep growing this thing and let's let players develop.
Like we had somebody text in and say, what do
you do with xcel? You tell them not to lateral again,
you knucklehead, like, just like this is this is a
developmental situation. We're growing. We don't need to trade anybody.
Do I want Mike Jackson on the team's number one receiver?
Less hell yeah, I do. I would I beg of
rof and I beg the Vera for last year. But
(26:01):
in terms of like trading people, how about we just
chill out, enjoy success and see how this team develops.
I'm actually looking forward to adding people. I'm looking forward
to adding Coker and J. T.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Sanders. I'm looking forward to adding people, not getting rid
of people. You know. Yeah, that's the thing about it
we talked about with Zochie, Cocher, Sanders, Cuba. That's just
the offensive guys that are missed. What is we're all
excited about Coker? What can this offense be when you
throw him in there to the mix? Yep, okay, it's
raise up.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
What can we be if we can hit this right
with Cuba and Rico and make this double trouble point
two this two point oh, this whatever I'm trying to say,
two point oh, this could be special.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
By getting insight here that Fiddy has been a topic
with Beth and Bow this morning at w BT, wouldn't
it be? Don't you know? We go co MVP trying
to figure out what did Fiddy do that either we
know about or don't know about.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Why he's a topic on another story, I thought it
was just a switch to Dallas. He's a co MVP
with Rico. I mean, I need to know what did
he do behind our backs. Let's go back to the phones.
Let's get some more callers and we got two lines
open if you guys want to jump in. I want
pop positive energy. This has been seven years of negative energy.
When we open up the phones, negative energy in the
text line, we beat the hell out of as dastardly
(27:08):
evil cowboys and we are showing progress and we are
beating them up in the trenches. Jump in here on
these phone lines and show me some happiness. Seven oh four, five,
seven oh nine, six ten. Let's go to PSL sucker,
PSL sucker. Even you're happy right now?
Speaker 6 (27:24):
You know what I am. And what makes me happy
is that I won't have to listen to mock draft
segments until December. And you know, like I told KB
on Friday, all I really wanted was the opportunity to
believe for a little while longer, and they gave me that. Now,
I do have one question for you. You think defensive
(27:47):
from now on the jets, notwithstanding you're likely going to
stack the box against us, one would imagine do you
think Bryce is up to that.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I think so. I think the box was stacked yesterday.
I think we ran against stacked box yesterday. I think
Bryce threw against that. He completed three deep balls. I
think so.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
You defenses, we have better defenses than the Cowboys as
the challengers. But all I can say is, I'm deliriously
happy this morning that I can go to the games
and not be depressed.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
That's that's a band.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
For the Cowboys fans. As for the Cowboys fans, they
were like a non factory yesterday. They were silent from
the beginning.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I love it. They were a non fact. If I
go to work week, Oh man, you should have. They
were there in abundance though it was insane. I still
don't understand this damn team hadn't hadn't won a playoff game,
and like going to NFC title game in three decades.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Why y'all still there?
Speaker 3 (28:41):
I know you jumped on them because they were bandwagon
when you were younger, like Fitty did, but like, why
on earth are you still Cowboy fans? It ain't even
a bandwagon anymore. Like, I don't understand it, but they
were in a bunch. You should have seen the line
boning a cowboy fans waiting to get in the stadium
before it opened, like just wrapping around down more Head
or down yeah, down Moorhead under that bridge.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I mean, it was insane. They were all out on
the broadcast when something went well for that. You could
hear him on the broadcast.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
No, they were in there, but I'm telling you not
a peep Church Mouse City. They were to Dallas Church
Mice on the way out of there. Man, all right,
let me go back to you. Did your walk back yesterday?
Was that one of your greatest walk backs ever? That
cowboy fans could say anything to you? It was unbelievable.
I thought they all got laryngitis. I thought something happened
to your vocal cords in there yelling for your your
lay mass underachieving football team. And God, doesn't feel good
(29:31):
to talk down to somebody too. It's been like seven
years since we talked down to somebody. All right, let
me get a couple of calls before we get out
of here. We got another Will on the line. I
don't think this guy wants to trade everybody, though, Will.
What's going on?
Speaker 10 (29:45):
Yeah, brother, man, I'm so fired of this is so
great what a great day it is. Oh, elam, how
you feeling, man? Oh, it's the pain to get all
the passing interfereen. It's gonna come at a better time.
Oh that was so beautiful. I mean, all those passing,
all those calls that went the Panthers, that we're gonna
get the Panthers and then we get one at the
perfect time. What a great day it was. Oh it
(30:08):
was so beautiful. Oh, I love it so much. I
was there and everybody was walking out, and the cowboys
fans and they had their chains and their helmet and
it was like a feudal procession. Gosh, it was great.
Heater Roha, I love you man. He is so freaking smooth.
He looks like he's been doing this for years. Exell's
coming along. He's a strong boy. I love him. Rico
playing like his hair is on fire.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Jimmy, I love you. You're fast.
Speaker 10 (30:32):
Bobby Bell looking like a young man out brown.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Yep, God bless, I love it.
Speaker 10 (30:37):
It is so exciting to see. Man, It's like, what
is this twenty fifteen? You got Louke Keithon going nuts,
Greg Olsen's loving it. Everybody's going crazy. TD I think
was in the house, man, is this great?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
That's yeah, Dallas, I'm bad.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
The whole freaking nation saw it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
By the way, way is this Dave can Alice? This
is that is Tanta? How you read the Canalo's script there?
I said that Bobby Browns your guy, Bobby Bell. Bobby Bell.
I was like, did we sign somebody new that I missed?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
That's panther happiness, I said, I want some damn panther
happiness because we've been doing seven years of panther misery.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
That is panther happiness. All right? Who is this caller?
Fitty Journey?
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Yeah, we got Journey, and we got Panthers set, so
let's knock these outbeats.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Panther. Steve gets on. He's ready, baby, he's raring to
go delivering packages. Journey. What's going on?
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Well, let me see, I'm a Cowboy fan, and I
was one of those fans walking into the stadium talking
trash all the way up in the stands, having a
great time talking trash, even after you guys kept running
all over us and getting first downs and you know,
scoring and everything else. But it's but it's okay, it's okay.
(31:46):
You know, I am proud of the Panthers about one thing,
because this is a normal type game that they normally lose.
You know, you're you're a pike game. You normally do
something screw it up, you lose it, and.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
You won the game.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
And to all of my little buddies out there that's
been calling me up, like one hundred and twelve, the
one hundred and fourteen people, just to let you know, yes,
I have to do this. Thank God that you guys
were on there this morning, so I have to do this.
I am the number one Carolina fan after beating my
(32:20):
Dallas cowboy.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Oh oh, oh you're switching? Oh is that or was
that like the bet? Did you like to a bet
where you had to.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Say that that was a bet?
Speaker 10 (32:28):
That was a bit?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Hey, Jerney, don't stop believing. Next to the call, that's hilarious.
He and his buddies at a bet where he lost
him to make that a bit. By the way, journey,
I want you to think about this. How happy the
city sound today? That that how happy is Rico today?
That cowboy the Panther thing. That transition is working well
for some fellows. Yes, people are raving about it. All right.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Let me get some panther Steve in here, last call
of the pulse of Panther Nation. What do you say, Stevie?
Speaker 9 (32:55):
Whoa mack?
Speaker 10 (32:57):
Did you love my dad?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Just say it was a cherry Joe slip off?
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Step me on a cowboy hat? Flipping bird? Did you
text in today that you were right?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Baby?
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Did you text in the day you wanted to? Did
you say you wanted tredit for the window?
Speaker 10 (33:13):
Did you see me?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
I had the tone of walk the players coming in
and out.
Speaker 9 (33:16):
Baby, I was giving them hell the Cowboys and uh
my wife got high five and coach the nows that
he came by there.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
You practically want a happy camper. You practiced party camper
as a former riskin fan hating the Cowboys. I absolutely
loved it. Takes me back to the ninety six playoff
game with Kick Their Kick their teeth when they had
eightman Dion Sanders, Michael Irvin and Emmett Smith and we.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Beat those that's right, that's right, physically beat them up.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
And that's what we did yesterday. Baby.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
I loved it. I give him hell on Twitter all
the time.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Your wife's the way your wife looks at you when
you're dancing. I can relate to that. Your wife looks
at you, like, what was I thinking years ago? Why
did I do this?
Speaker 2 (34:10):
All right?
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Brother, well there you go. We gotta hang up on you.
Some Bone can talk again on his own.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Chi struggling to get and I don't know what else
I was asking him. Why did he he texted in
it it that he wanted credit for the win in
the credit segment because of his dance before. That's all.
I was simple and said, I don't think you would
understand that that we can talk back and forth on this,
it's not the wider line. Yeah, he just blew you off.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
The credit goes to rico' daddle and Panther Fiddy, the
two guys that we stole from Jerry Joe that Jerry
underappreciated Bone and we stole from his clutches.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
One guy we stole that you mentioned is Rico can
Rico in the run game Keep this going Sports.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
Radio WFNZ, Honey, It's a lot that went on in
those five years while I was there.
Speaker 7 (35:04):
But yeah, I definitely said it was a little person
that just wanted to get to win and have a
great performance from my end, and like.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I said, those guys allowed me to do it was
able to get the job done. Again, there you go.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Rico said, it was personal, baby, You ran like it
was personal.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
But then again, you run like that all the time.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
He runs angry, he runs bone like everybody in front
of him stole something from him. He runs like everybody
trying to tackle him insulted his mama two minutes prior.
And I love it, man. We both said this earlier
in the show. When the Panthers have been good at football,
and it's been a minute. When they have been good historically,
(35:41):
they have pounded the rock on the ground, whether it
was the nastiest running quarterback in the history of the game,
Cam Newton, whether it was Jay Stu running people over,
and they have been bears against the run. And right
now again I'm not you know, I realized we played
two stinky teams both. But you're starting to see a
(36:04):
bit of that sort of identity, the kind of team
that Dan Morgan wants to build, right like his former
Panther team. You're starting to see it. It's starting to form,
man Rico.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Rico runs like a guy who is trying to get
that huge bag in the offseason Mac that he probably
feels he should have gotten this offseason. Glad he's here,
but a thousand yard guy who's getting better and better,
especially towards the end of last year. Only got one
point two million dollar contract. Then you're throwing some incentives.
He's running mac like, I may have not got it
this year, and I'm accepting, but I'm going to go
(36:35):
earn every yard and get that big bag in the offseason. Yeah,
he's motivated.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Man, he runs like a guy that has had to
read nothing but Bebop text for two hours straight before
the game.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
You know what I mean. That's what he runs like. Yeah, yes,
he got nothing for me. Were your listening, Bollatiers? Hundred
percent listening? Thousand percent less? You said he runs like
a runs like a runs like a saw. Oh, you've
hardly listened to me. Bone, We've been radio married for
over twenty years. You hardly listen to me anymore. Oh
(37:05):
my god, I gotta be honest with you, completely honestly here.
I'm not used to winning streaks and I'm starting to
wear down here as we get close to nine o'clock hour.
I left it all out there back in the seven
o'clock hour today.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Bluebelt Chris says, Rico is the epitome of downhill runner.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I love it. It's a tone setter man.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
It is an attitude, and the offensive line does it
well too, even with three backups in there, and even
Yosh Nyman, and I think it was a good Yosh
Nieman game. Bone we were in second and manageable third
and short. It wasn't a game where there were a
lot of predictable passing situations. That's where Nyman, I think,
really struggles. But a big old dude, so I think
(37:41):
that was his sort of game. But some of the
some of the blocking a Damian Lewis was doing yesterday
and Brady Christiansen and Tommy Tremble at ikey Ikey was
shoving guys around.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
It was good to see back. There are listeners on
the text line that are trying to bait us into
saying a word that we don't want to stay today,
especially you, And I'm not even gonna off. I'm not
I'm not bringing Mac down that path. People said they
want Mac to say it. Someone said say it, say it, Mac,
don't say. I know you won't, but stop trying to
goat Mac, go Mat, go to goat God. I don't
(38:15):
want to go, then you go ahead. I don't want
to go to a goat.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Man, are people really saying the P word on the
they want you to say it? Why would you ask
for that? That's like asking for you to drive a
car off a cliff? What do you what do you
want me to do here? Just enjoy the damn win fit,
he tell these people.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Don't you say it either?
Speaker 8 (38:32):
Man?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Hey, if we if we don't want to say way off,
then this.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
Is something you didn't want to do back in the
summer either, Mac ten win ben uh fan club.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
You want to you want to get your name on
the wagon.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
It's still over there. The list is still here. We
can add acclaim. So that's in wind wagon because this
time next week we're gonna be four and three and
we're already four tenths of the way there.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Baby went down the pipe. Right, there's six wins. I
don't know if the Panthers are still good enough you
get to go money touching like this though. This is
I think that they can blow out the Jets, honestly,
the way the Jets are playing. But are we ready
to be the team met that goes in as a
favorite on the road where they have not been good like,
let's you know, pump the brakes a little bit here
(39:14):
on some of this stuff. It's interesting fun though.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
It's interesting because a lot of people want to make
this next jump right, Is it playoffs? Is it trade deadline?
And we like I heard people calling up Willie p
in the post game, we should be buyers. We should
go get this and get that in the trade deadline.
Then you have people are just like, but we should
try to trade either Chewba Rico. It's like, am I
the only fan that is just completely enjoying? Dare I
(39:38):
say it? The process? I hate to sound like a
boring coach. That's not the P word we're talking about.
I am, yeah, I'm more about process. I'm more about
process than playoffs right now, y'all. I believe before the
season it was a stepping stone season to set up
twenty twenty six for the season where we can stay
the P word. And I believe now the way this
team is developing bone on both sides of the line
(40:00):
in the run game, I believe they're starting to look
like the team I like, like Fiddy thinks they're looking
like his ten win team. I think they're starting to
look like my eight to nineteen preseason. Like, I think
they're starting to look like a team that is making
that step. I'm not gonna be naive enough to think
we can do this against every team running the ball bony,
But Dave Canalis has committed to the run the last
(40:21):
two weeks. It's paid dividends. I like where we're headed.
So is no one else. Just enjoying kind of improving
and football games being fun.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Being relevant, being entertaining.
Speaker 8 (40:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Some people are mad that Mac won't say the word,
and some people are mad no part. Someone said, how
did Matt? How dare Max say the word? Mac didn't
say the word. That's Jim Morris saying the word. All right,
this is what this is what happens. Max did a
pickle right now? Good stuff. Some Charlotte says, we actually
have some depth. Yeah, O line depth is showing running
back depth.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
That's our backup running back that just went for four
to seventy three scrimage yards. The depth isn't there all
over the roster yet. But you can see Dan Moore
Organ's plan. You can see him building in the trenches.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Bone.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
This was the plan, and you could see it starting
to pay off. So that's the stuff that excites me.
Do I still think Canalis has moments in the game,
Bone where I'm like, oh my god, can he handle
all this? Yeah, there were a couple of time outs
wasted in the second half, and he even talked about
him after the game. Luckily we didn't need him because
we just played that last drive masterfully, not letting Dak
(41:23):
get the football back. Did we have a moment Bone
that got squirrely as all hell with XL doing one
of the just of the most knuckleeted things I have
ever seen a Panther player do ever yet.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
But we saw most of almost the full gamble. You
never want to go the full gamble where we look
back and say that is one of the worst decisions
did Panthers take.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
I will say this though, the difference, because I heard
Smoke was bringing this up yesterday. The difference is the
Gamble play was designed by the coaching staff. The coaching
staff Bone thought it was a good idea with a
lead minute soda in the fourth quarter to try to
get tricky with it and try to have Chris Gamble
(42:06):
throw the ball across the field behind.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Him on a punt return.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
This is the most conservative coach you have ever seen,
deciding to get frisky as hell in the fourth quarter
on the road while leading.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
It was the weirdest thing ever.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
So that was like, that was just that was a
systematic like what the hell are you smoking?
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Coaching staff? This one was just one knucklehead.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
And by the way, actually it was two knuckleheads, because
Rico admitted yesterday bone I yelled for him to toss
the ball back to me. So both of you former
game cocks, Boney, what's going on down there? Mackett to
South Carolina education at Columbia?
Speaker 2 (42:43):
What happened with these two do phacies? Did you do
your impression again that you started the show with of
exale Mac trying to toss that ball? What he was
saying to himself, Rico, who you want to have ball?
Where I gave you that ball? I can't do it.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
I hit the first time, I can't hit this time.
It's not coming out as exceled this time coming out
as it's more. Jerry Jones in Xcel's almost like.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
A King of the Hill character when we went alloy
Jerry Jones, I never know what's going to happen when
I do an impression seventy eight point nine percent of
the time.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
It's not going to be good, but man, I hit
that excel. They're always good for us.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
Wasn't it a pot?
Speaker 7 (43:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Good or bad, it's good. I guess when we come
back college football conclusions, we have controversial calls, more fired coaches,
more on Bill Belichick and UNC and Mac. We had
some tortillas flying in Lubbock. Also will explaining that Sports
Radio ninety two to seven WFNZ
Oh oh, and Mack and Bow on your radio, Baby.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Listen to my freem back, posh, Come on, posh.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
This in my freem team Bone.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
What's the fun? I can't go to work without listening
to the Mac.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
And Bone do a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Do you think cable play against estimate?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Absolutely, I said he was trying to play tonight come
back in the air.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
But I'm sure he'll be storing more and we'll have
to waiting. Y'all ask me every day how he's doing.
Speaker 5 (00:38):
And uh, I'll say the same thing.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
But yeah, I mean, I don't see anything at this
point that he wouldn't.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
Think can happen.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
That is Dabbo after the game talking about Kate Club
Knick's ankle injury. He comes out, But at that point
Bone their work was done and they had themselves a
big thirty four to ten lead, and they ended up
winning it forty one to ten on Saturday. The opponents
have obviously been Bone. They get right formula for them.
(01:13):
We'll see if it carries over to SMU. But yeah,
this is a key Club Nick we were expecting to
see when the season started.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's night and day.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
This this looks like the guy that we saw last
year most of the time.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
What's helped Clemston sort of find their way here in
the last couple weeks post bye week, Mac, I don't
want to take away from Clemston showing life. It's that
they've played UNC in Boston College. Also. That's certainly helped
Clemson look like Clemson. I think here that's been schedule
played out in their favor. Bye week then UNC ANDBC
(01:45):
back to back has got THEMN well feel good about
themselves really for the first time all season.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It could with that SMU come U. I still think
they could win out. I don't think it'd be shocking
if they want out now. Is that going to accomplish anything?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Though?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
It'll be nine and three and they'll get a little
you know, it'd be like the Tyler and Spartanburg here
when they rally, they get a little slow clap or whatever.
But there's talent there. I don't think we ever disputed
that there's talent there.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Right, Yeah, No, it's not a talent issue. It was
a whether it was a chemistry issue, whatever was going
on there was not for their their talent just it
was not metching together to start.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I think this is big for confidence and I think
this could start a run. They got an SMU team
Bone that I think is real vulnerable on defense. I
would not be shocked if Club Nick goes off against them.
Dabo seem to think on Saturday night, Hey, the injury,
he was trying to come back in the game. The
injury is going to be okay. It's pumped or pised.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Could be a look ahead factor though they're playing one
of the teams in first place November one, the Duke Devils,
although Duke's shamelessly I had to get that in there.
Dude's got their own first place battle this week against
Georgia tex So.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
If you if you're keeping score on Pump to Piss Monday,
Bone has downplayed Clemson, has propped up a Duke team
that didn't play this week, and has not talked yet
about South Carolina. All right, we are just getting started, though,
make him do so on the piss version of Pump
to Piss Monday.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Still down there, fella. I'm not downplaying question, but they
just happened to get in North Carolina and BC. God forbid.
I need to see a little more before I buy
back into a team I had the National Championship game.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I understand it. I understand it. I'm thinking, I'm thinking
this will do wonders for confidence. I definitely am by
the way straight home games coming up. Peter Woods short
yardage back. I like that as well. That that is
something that is a nice little wrinkle. Speaking of Biggins
as short yardage backs. How about what Alabama continues to
do with Caden Proctor. First it was the screen pass,
(03:43):
Then it was the short yardage like you know, give
to to Proctor out of the backfield. And this week
it was the wild fat That's what I'm calling it.
It was the wildcat snap to your left tackle. That's
a good one, and of course he got the first down.
He's an athlete at that size man for Alabama.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I one of the true joys in watching football is
big men on the move or whether it's catching passes,
running the ball. Fix six is. You give me a
big man on the move and I'm completely glued to
the television. It's great big men moving. That's my jam.
It's impressive. It's impressive. You saw his footwork on that run,
(04:21):
man Like, that's that's freakish. That is freakish. Athleticist Alice
Derek Brown backfield. So let's yeah, who forget about Rico
and chewba good dB and the backer's trying to stop
Derek Brown on a touch push Jason, had you trying
to push that touch? Pumped or piss Monday? All right?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
So I want to hear from fans, Aliburn fans, you
best be pissed off. Can we get a pissed off
Alburt fan because y'all got absolutely screwed.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
That was absurd, and by the way, it's not the
first time they've been screwed this year. That Oklahoma touchdown
bone was supposed to be an illegal play and the
refs couldn't figure it out and apologized afterwards. How the
hell was that not a touchdown for Jackson Artol should
have been seventeen nothing going into the damn half the
other night? Oh that was that was some all time
highway robbery, all time bad reffing in that game multiple times,
(05:08):
and you know it's bad, Mac, But Sean McDonough's just
a gas that what he's seeing that that goal line
angle of Jackson Arnold.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
How do we all see it? How does the broadcast
see it? And yet the referees don't see it? In
this day and age. That biggles me. Mind. How can
you have a shot right down the line?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
That's the whole point of the shot, right down the line, Like,
how can you mess it up? And you're staring right
down the line? And that completely changed the game. Now,
is Auburn fragile? Is all get out? Yeah, they're fragile.
They folded like a They folded.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Like a cheap tent at that point.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
But the fact is bone that it shouldn't have been
the case, and they were dominating that half. Georgia had
twenty yards of offense in twenty nine minutes and that
just gave them life.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Man, Auburn never scored a point again the rest of
the game. After that, they were it was about to
be blowout city for Auburn. Then the whole clapping fiasco
where Kirby Smart claims that he was clapping and calling
a time out. Hey, well, I almost respect the boldface
wye like the worst the lie is Jerry Jones, Kirby Smart.
(06:08):
If you why and we all know it, I almost
respect it in a way. It was such a while
I wasn't calling time out, I was copping yay day.
That's shameless that's Cheye's gey.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You weren't already he already got one at the other
end at the end of the first I mean, it's
just seriously, just stop.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Did you see the Auburn A D trying to chase
down the referees at halftime? The Auburn AD was being
held back from an that's highway robber. It was Hugh
Freeze and the Auburn A D being held back from
the referees.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
That is that was how I don't blame him one
hundred percent. That was some of the biggest highway robbery
I've ever watched in a live sporting event like that
was just horrible. I feel for Auburn fans now, Hugh
Freeze his fanny as hottest can be.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Man, it really is.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
As far as pumped up fans, wake Forest absolutely, Like
I know, we only have.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So many deep fans out there.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I know you're not the loudest fan base, but you
put it on Oregon State the other day, and I
know Oregon State's not that good, but for wake Forest
to be up three to two nothing in this game,
bone and I'm telling you, DeShawn Purty, Jake Dickard's got
something to think about Deshaun perty gives him another dimension.
Ashford's been good, right, and they were winning games with them,
they were competitive with them. DeShawn Purdy the way he
(07:17):
throws the ball deep, that's another dimension for wake for
as they are four and two.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And led in the other two games.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
That they lost by fourteen and by seventeen, Like that's
one was to a ranked team man Georgia Tech down
by seventeen. They got highway robbery.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, Jake Dickers is putting himself a position as at
this point of the year ACC Coach of the Year
caliber performance. What a what a higher he has been.
I love the energy, I love the enthusiasm, I love
the way he connected with players. Mack he basically is
the complete opposite of one William Eugene Belichick.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
He's an actual college football coach. They hired an actual
college football coach instead of some old NFL has been
costplaying as a college football coach, like seriously with his
buddy who wasn't even a good executive costplaying as a
college football as the highest college football pay GM. But
I digress. It's not about the damn heels. They weren't
even playing And we'll talk about them later because they're
(08:17):
more reports. It was a bye weekend, but the reporters
didn't take off the weekend. App State bone has got
something cooking with with JJ Cole at quarterback. That was
an impressive beatdown of Georgia State the other day, So
I think if you're an app State fan, I think
you can get pumped. I'm noticing Charlotte fans texting in
what am I supposed to be pissed anymore as a
(08:38):
Niner fan because I think I'm numb. Army got him
the other day, ran it down their throats for three
hundred and four yards. Bony Our Niner fans must be
pissed or numb right now.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Numb. Probably you wanted results that were better, but you
got to give Tim Albin a little more time to
clean up the mess that Biff pod you left in
the yard. So it's going to take longer, I think
than we even thought. Don't give up on alb and
this is not a quick turnaround situation. You hope that
maybe by the end of the year the last couple
of games, Charlotte's more competitive. But I would not give
(09:14):
up on Tim Alban. He did an absolutely ridiculous job
at Ohio. But you've got to let him try to
figure this whole thing out, because Biff did not exactly
leave this thing back check my notes in good shape here.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
No.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I mean he brought in tons of new players, a
lot of them are his own guys from Ohio.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
He was three.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
He had three wins his first season at Ohio, and
when he left there, he had three straight ten win seasons.
I think the program only had one or two ten
win season. I think it was one. Yeah, So that
program that had one ten win season, he ended up
his tenure there with three straight. So I do think
he's a program builder. Now, does Charlotte have the resources?
It's a different game, right, it's a different game now.
(09:53):
Does he have the resources at Charlotte to be able
to build? I think that's a legitimate question. They have
to find themselves a quarterback bone. Wilkie wasn't the answer yesterday.
Loftus showed a little something late. But we've seen this before.
The guy that comes in late seems to like all
of a sudden, like look good for Charlotte and mop
up time, and then he gets to start the next
(10:14):
week and it's like, oh, that guy's nig so I
don't they need to get a damn clarn't had a
quarterback since I didn't trust since Chris Reynolds, and that
might be the only quarterback they've ever had in program
history they could trust. Here's here's the issue with the
schedule the rest of the way and trying to get
another win for Charlotte. They played Temple this weekend, who
just lost a Navy in the last second. Temple's five hundred.
(10:34):
Then they play North Texas at East Carolina utsa five hundred.
They finish at Georgia and at Tulayne. So their last
three road games are at ECU, Georgia and Tulayne, and
they've got Temple in North Texas coming up at home.
Getting to a second win here might be a challenge
for Tim Alben. It might not happen. Monmouth in the
(10:58):
last seconds might be their only win of this. In
fairness to Alvin, there's a ton of injuries there. There's
a ton of injuries too, and I'm not sure they're
at the point as a program where they can. I mean,
let's face it, the first game of the season, it
wasn't exactly pretty against app State. Uh, Texas.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
By the way, Tim Alban, you might want to eventually, Yeah,
get George off schedule there, Timmy, I want to get
that out of there.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Oh yeah maybe this year. Like I just don't play
that game. Karby doesn't even need to whine in that game.
All right, everythings gonna be. They're not even gonna need
a call to get jump started in that game.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
So we got State fans, and we got South Carolina
fans texting in seven oh four number. I'm a State
fan and I'm numb am I supposed to be angry anymore?
And then we got a South Carolina fan that says,
I love you guys, but how are you not talking
about the fan base that should be the most pissed
today of anybody in the Carolinas. What a garbage offensive
(11:51):
line and a garbage supporting cast for.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Hope.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Was I gonna say lador I was gonna call lador, well,
they need to show the parts. No, you're right, they
need to show Mike schule at the lador Is Shula Listen,
far be it from me. I bitched about Schuela a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
This guy's right though.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
The receiving options we talked about for the season for
Sellers and the offensive line are pretty terrible.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
One thing that hurts them. First of all, they're one
twenty third in the country in offense with the Nora
Sellers as the quarterback. I don't even know how you
even get that low when you have a guy that
we thought might win the Heisman Trophy when the year begin.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I think it is he overrated. That's another one that's
coming in. A lot people saying he's overrated. I don't
think he's got any help. The offensive line gives him
no help. They can't really do design runs. All the
running around he does is running for his wife. I
think the biggest problem. Jacobs has been all right at
wide receiver. He's been alright compared to the other guys.
He had a couple of big games. This week he
(12:54):
was right back with the rest of it. I understand,
but that's what I'm saying. They don't have a lot
of options. I think Harbor's lack of development. Remember in
the offseason, we said Harbor's got to become that dude.
He's got to become the video game electric version, or
this offense will not have the separators down the field.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Harbor, to me I'm out on him. I just he's
a junior. Now, the basics aren't there. I can't tell
you how many times a guy comes across the middle
and he doesn't make the catch because he's moving too fast,
he's looking upfield. He can make plays down the field
once in a while, but he's nothing like we thought,
and question is a waste of tell a guy that
was a five star defensive talent as well. Makes you
(13:33):
wonder if for three years now they've had him out
the wrong spot on the team. You could have him
a Stewart, but you could have him and Stewart as
a DN. That might be a valid question. I just
I'm out on him.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
You're also an undisciplined team, thirteen penalties. You're not good
enough to overcome that death valley with that offense. You
finally did run the ball, But I tend to think
I listen. I'm sure we might talk about it this week.
There's a lot of people saying Lenora Sellers is overrated.
I disagree with I think he has no help. He
was pressured sixty five percent of the time. I thought
he pulled a Houdini job. Not to be sacked more
than five times. They did start to use more design
(14:07):
runs with him. It worked at times. You got a
credit Lsu. That defense is fierce. They've got athletes all
over the place running after him, and he did a
good job to try to create something bony could have
been worse. If they don't punch the ball out the
one inch line bone, this game's even work.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
They're not even in the game. Was the throw he
made against Missouri and how he kept them in the
football game, And tell me the guy's overeat He was
unbelievable in that game. He just has no he has
to do it all. He can't throw the ball and
catch the ball himself. I mean maybe he could maybe
didn't you try that? NC State fan says, he is
what you justille bunching over there, Tommy Cannet, throw the
ball and catch the ball. Uh yeah, and they're there.
(14:44):
It doesn't get any easier. And angry Oklahoma teams coming
in next week. This is brutal This South Carolina season,
Like I I they are Bowl game is in jeopardy.
I feel like for South Carolina like in legit jeopardy.
I mean, when when you've got Oklahoma, Obama, Ole, miss
A and m and Clemson playing better on there. Yeah,
(15:04):
it's absolutely in Jeppard.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
NC State fan says he's numb bone. Yeah, I get that,
like I think they got. They ended up losing by
twenty nine. I think we all thought they were gonna
lose by a ton of points. The defense kind of
put up a fight again, Bony, this game could have
been fifty something to seven. They stopped Notre Dame three
(15:26):
times inside the ten, forced to fumble, and then stopped
them on fourth down twice, but ultimately Notre Dame is
so much better than them. CJ. Bailey's turnover issue is
a little concerning to me. And when Notre Dame stuffed
their run bone and it was all on CJ. Bailey,
that was not a good sign. He needs a run
game to support him.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
But CJ.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Bailey had three more interceptions. I don't know what the
turn out. Have to look up the turnover numbers for him.
They have been atrocious here the last three weeks. They're
not good enough to overcome that man. Getting to a
bowl game for NC State's going to be a challenge.
They have four wins right now, but their next three
games are Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech, and Miami Uh, they could
lose all three of those. Then they have Florida State
and North Carolina. So even if they beat Carolina, that's five.
(16:11):
It very well may come down to that NC Florida
State NC State game on November twenty first, and we
have mac. We have no idea what Florida State team
that could be on November twenty first, because they started
the year well now they're struggling. So it may come
down to that for ball eligibility for NC State this
year because the next three the way Pittsburgh's playing, maybe
NC State and South Carolina can play in the Toilet Bowl.
(16:32):
We get a sponsor for we get like Rodo Ruter
to sponsor it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Way, do you know who the winter plays? Who's that
Pen State?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
We do back?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
How's it feel to be on our level? Now? It
was a Northwestern fan by the way, apparently looking for you.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I listen, you guys, You guys should be pissed off
NC State fans. South Carolina fans. You ain't nothing compared
to the fury Penn Station fans feel. This is a
team that people thought was a national championship team and
they're hot garbage. They're absolute pansies in the trenches and
they now are looking for a head coach.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Anyway. We'll get into that. We'll get into that in
the final hour of the show.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
People Want, People Want, James Franklin and Penn State venting.
That will happen in the final hour of the show
when we come back.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Pulse the Panther nation call seven oh four five, seven
h nine six, take it on the phone lines and
talk about the Panthers winning streak. Sports Radio ninety two
seven WFNZ.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Rico, it's your message as up to the capital Sports
your message after you had one buckled up, they wasn't
buckled up? Straight faced man, God bless Rico Dala. What
did God send? He has been with Shuba hurt the
(17:59):
lamb two weeks for him to do it.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
How good must that feel? Bone?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
To just go off against your former team, say get
off me over and over again as they try to
tackle him. You put up a franchise record two unto
thirty nine total yards, one eighty three rushing one twenty
two according to next Jet after contact, How good did
I hope he had himself a nice little drink, nice
little sycamore or two?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Bone? What's say he got home yes, he deserves it.
I know you have it in your note, That's why
I'm asking you. But how many does he have total
the last two weeks? Rico?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I know you had the team total right four hundred
something yards from scrimmage. He has four to seventy three
in the last two games. You might absolutely.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
He's about one more game from getting Pro Bowl votes.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
That contract, that contract in his offseason keeps going up.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Anyway, we should we should put Jerry's face on the
video board every game so we's back there when he's
back there is about the run he sees Jerry's face something.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Panther fans, how do you feel man? If you were
at the game yesterday, did you enjoy the feeling I did,
which is Cowboy fans being quiet after the game on
the walk back to our cars, just quiet as hell.
It was beautiful, sad and depressed looking. Jerry Jones didn't
even do his weekly presser after the game. Rico shut
(19:17):
him up. What do you guys think, Panther fans? Are
you feeling excited about this team? How enjoyable was yesterday?
And then we also have questions to talk through, like
what should be the plan with Chuba coming back. I
can't imagine bone that Chuba Hubber should There's no way.
And I love Cuba, you can't insert him as the
(19:38):
lead back right back in.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
To me, he's too high. He's not. It's not like
he had some nice games. He's he's historically been good
the last No, no, no, no, he's he's got to be
the guy, Subaman be the guy going forward how it
plays out because of the contract in Rico being a
free agent, but for right now, right how would you
how would you explain right now to anybody, whether it
be the team, the fan, whatever, that yeah, we're gonna go.
(20:02):
Even Chow was probably right now, this dude, I'm a
team guy like this dude deserves to run the football
right now.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
You go around that hot hand while you can. Man,
they'll because hopefully they'll be carries for both these boys.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Is a work horse. Work horse. May have had a
slight mishap on Twitter yesterday when I forgot the s
and horts.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
That was unforcogized to all the doubtles. That was very unfortunate.
The run defense too, God, When you can beat people's
hig knees into trenches, you gonna win football games. They
give up Bone thirty one rush yards after nineteen last week,
they're up to tenth in rush defense. This is the
identity we've been waiting for from the Canalis era. They
(20:42):
are forming an identity. So whatever y'all want to talk
about on the show, we'll talk about the Excel lateral
as well, one of the most bonetted moments in Panther history.
But I want you guys to line up bring this energy.
Are y'all feeling like progress is happening and are you
excited about it? I want to hear from excited Panther
(21:02):
fans today seven oh four, five, seven, nine sixtent. It
is the pulse of Panther Nation. Let's start us off
with game Cock. Kevin, Kevin, how you feeling, man, Well.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
You already know how I feel now.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
First of all, I see you conveniently left Pennistate out
the pump the piss segment.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Bone.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
Thank you for calling him out, Bone, Thank you for
calling b Bop out. This ain't a day for Bebop Shenanigans.
Bebop you could go back to Walmart l wherever you
were and greet the people at the front door.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Clown.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
Now, let's get to it ric o'dowdell. Sixty percent of
the carries Tuba Hubb of forty. We all know that
there's going to be politics played in the NFL. Tuba
just signed the contract, so it'll probably be sixty percent
Cuber forty percent Rinco. But Dave Canalis, it is very
(21:55):
clear that when we have a running game, it expentuates
Bryce Yo, the identity that you talked about earlier. Mac,
it is starting to show. I was so high and
cowboy fans. I know all y'all can hear the show
all y'all because y'all talk about yesterday it was a
Texas takeover? How the hell is it the Texas takeover
(22:17):
when you live in southern South Carolina, when you live
in Castonia, North Carolina, y'all clowns should have came over
a long time ago, and you need to take your
asses back down to the Walmart that you work at.
Speaker 10 (22:31):
I love it.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
For a worst team Jones, keep living, keep doing your thing.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
We love it, Mac, and I'm out on that.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
That's call. That's Kevin, that's Kevin j plus games game.
If Jerry Jones face could generate tears, whatever, Yes, I
love it, man, I love it You're right.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
These cowboy fans are shameless, man, absolutely shameless, busting in
here from Gastonia, from Dallas, North Carolina, where they think
the stadium is for the Cowboys. God, we sent them
home angry. They ever drive around looking for Jerry's world
in their own.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Time, Evince.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I'm convinced that they have tickets phone and they're like,
why can't I find the stabum is Dallas? All right,
let's go to the phone here. It feels good to
be relevant, and it's the way we did it too.
Just punching them in the mouth on both sides of
the ball in the run game was beautiful. Seven O
four five, seven, nine six ten. Will is from Dallas. Well,
(23:32):
what's going on man? How you doing?
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Good morning?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Mac?
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Well, first, I want to congratulate you on the on
the return of Matt rule to your life.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Oh no, don't do that.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
That's exciting.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
I'm very happy for you.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
I'm gonna have some flowers.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
To give out.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I owe Bryce Young some flowers. He played very well yesterday.
That's exactly what you want from a quarterback like like
Bryce obviously Rico, but there are other guys too. I
want to give flowers the guys like Brady Christians and
who helped set up some of that run game, and
he's stepped in the in a real way on the
opposive line. I just want to get flowers to me
because I've been right this whole time about Jimmy Horn,
(24:08):
and we got to do more things with Jimmy Horn.
And he looked great yesterday giving him the ball in
creative ways. It's kind of like Philly Brown, but a
little bit faster to me. The only other thing I'll say,
I mean, obviously, we've got to trade a few folks.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Are you guys I'm.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Trading this week? This week, I'm trading Mike Jackson this week.
I don't know if you're gonna get a lot for him,
but we got.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
To do something about that.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
And I'm trading Xavier.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
To get uh if you can get any of it.
But honestly, if you get anybody who can help this
team kind of get from three to three to five
and three, yeah, it's gonna be probably building out the
linebacking corps, in the in the defensive backfield. So those
are my thoughts today.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
All right, Appreciate the fun call, Kevin, because the text
line is is basically annointing keV. Game got Kevin as
a Hall of Famer. Right now, Twin, Cowboy Twin was
so inspired h by Game got Kevin, he may switch teams.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Now, Oh there we go, baby, he goes CALLI Fitty's Cowboy.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
The twins friends are sending us Facebook photos of the
past where Cowboy Twin may root for the Panthers and
the Cowboy. Oh no.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
As far as trader Will goes bone, you know you're
making progress when he now wants to trade the players
that are struggling as opposed to our best players. That's
that's how you know we are making progress, Bony, that's
got good dude, that is good news for us here
during Will's trading phone calls. How about we just play ball.
How about we just keep everybody. We got something growing here,
(25:38):
and we keep growing this thing and let's let players develop.
Like we had somebody text in and say, what do
you do with xcel? You tell them not to lateral again,
you knucklehead, like, just like this is this is a
developmental situation. We're growing. We don't need to trade anybody.
Do I want Mike Jackson on the team's number one receiver?
Less hell yeah, I do. I would I beg of
rof and I beg the Vera for last year. But
(26:01):
in terms of like trading people, how about we just
chill out, enjoy success and see how this team develops.
I'm actually looking forward to adding people. I'm looking forward
to adding Coker and J. T.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Sanders. I'm looking forward to adding people, not getting rid
of people. You know. Yeah, that's the thing about it
we talked about with Zochie, Cocher, Sanders, Cuba. That's just
the offensive guys that are missed. What is we're all
excited about Coker? What can this offense be when you
throw him in there to the mix? Yep, okay, it's
raise up.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
What can we be if we can hit this right
with Cuba and Rico and make this double trouble point
two this two point oh, this whatever I'm trying to say,
two point oh, this could be special.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
By getting insight here that Fiddy has been a topic
with Beth and Bow this morning at w BT, wouldn't
it be? Don't you know? We go co MVP trying
to figure out what did Fiddy do that either we
know about or don't know about.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Why he's a topic on another story, I thought it
was just a switch to Dallas. He's a co MVP
with Rico. I mean, I need to know what did
he do behind our backs. Let's go back to the phones.
Let's get some more callers and we got two lines
open if you guys want to jump in. I want
pop positive energy. This has been seven years of negative energy.
When we open up the phones, negative energy in the
text line, we beat the hell out of as dastardly
(27:08):
evil cowboys and we are showing progress and we are
beating them up in the trenches. Jump in here on
these phone lines and show me some happiness. Seven oh four, five,
seven oh nine, six ten. Let's go to PSL sucker,
PSL sucker. Even you're happy right now?
Speaker 6 (27:24):
You know what I am. And what makes me happy
is that I won't have to listen to mock draft
segments until December. And you know, like I told KB
on Friday, all I really wanted was the opportunity to
believe for a little while longer, and they gave me that. Now,
I do have one question for you. You think defensive
(27:47):
from now on the jets, notwithstanding you're likely going to
stack the box against us, one would imagine do you
think Bryce is up to that.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I think so. I think the box was stacked yesterday.
I think we ran against stacked box yesterday. I think
Bryce threw against that. He completed three deep balls. I
think so.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
You defenses, we have better defenses than the Cowboys as
the challengers. But all I can say is, I'm deliriously
happy this morning that I can go to the games
and not be depressed.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
That's that's a band.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
For the Cowboys fans. As for the Cowboys fans, they
were like a non factory yesterday. They were silent from
the beginning.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I love it. They were a non fact. If I
go to work week, Oh man, you should have. They
were there in abundance though it was insane. I still
don't understand this damn team hadn't hadn't won a playoff game,
and like going to NFC title game in three decades.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Why y'all still there?
Speaker 3 (28:41):
I know you jumped on them because they were bandwagon
when you were younger, like Fitty did, but like, why
on earth are you still Cowboy fans? It ain't even
a bandwagon anymore. Like, I don't understand it, but they
were in a bunch. You should have seen the line
boning a cowboy fans waiting to get in the stadium
before it opened, like just wrapping around down more Head
or down yeah, down Moorhead under that bridge.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I mean, it was insane. They were all out on
the broadcast when something went well for that. You could
hear him on the broadcast.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
No, they were in there, but I'm telling you not
a peep Church Mouse City. They were to Dallas Church
Mice on the way out of there. Man, all right,
let me go back to you. Did your walk back yesterday?
Was that one of your greatest walk backs ever? That
cowboy fans could say anything to you? It was unbelievable.
I thought they all got laryngitis. I thought something happened
to your vocal cords in there yelling for your your
lay mass underachieving football team. And God, doesn't feel good
(29:31):
to talk down to somebody too. It's been like seven
years since we talked down to somebody. All right, let
me get a couple of calls before we get out
of here. We got another Will on the line. I
don't think this guy wants to trade everybody, though, Will.
What's going on?
Speaker 10 (29:45):
Yeah, brother, man, I'm so fired of this is so
great what a great day it is. Oh, elam, how
you feeling, man? Oh, it's the pain to get all
the passing interfereen. It's gonna come at a better time.
Oh that was so beautiful. I mean, all those passing,
all those calls that went the Panthers, that we're gonna
get the Panthers and then we get one at the
perfect time. What a great day it was. Oh it
(30:08):
was so beautiful. Oh, I love it so much. I
was there and everybody was walking out, and the cowboys
fans and they had their chains and their helmet and
it was like a feudal procession. Gosh, it was great.
Heater Roha, I love you man. He is so freaking smooth.
He looks like he's been doing this for years. Exell's
coming along. He's a strong boy. I love him. Rico
playing like his hair is on fire.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Jimmy, I love you. You're fast.
Speaker 10 (30:32):
Bobby Bell looking like a young man out brown.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Yep, God bless, I love it.
Speaker 10 (30:37):
It is so exciting to see. Man, It's like, what
is this twenty fifteen? You got Louke Keithon going nuts,
Greg Olsen's loving it. Everybody's going crazy. TD I think
was in the house, man, is this great?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
That's yeah, Dallas, I'm bad.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
The whole freaking nation saw it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
By the way, way is this Dave can Alice? This
is that is Tanta? How you read the Canalo's script there?
I said that Bobby Browns your guy, Bobby Bell. Bobby Bell.
I was like, did we sign somebody new that I missed?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
That's panther happiness, I said, I want some damn panther
happiness because we've been doing seven years of panther misery.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
That is panther happiness. All right? Who is this caller?
Fitty Journey?
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Yeah, we got Journey, and we got Panthers set, so
let's knock these outbeats.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Panther. Steve gets on. He's ready, baby, he's raring to
go delivering packages. Journey. What's going on?
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Well, let me see, I'm a Cowboy fan, and I
was one of those fans walking into the stadium talking
trash all the way up in the stands, having a
great time talking trash, even after you guys kept running
all over us and getting first downs and you know,
scoring and everything else. But it's but it's okay, it's okay.
(31:46):
You know, I am proud of the Panthers about one thing,
because this is a normal type game that they normally lose.
You know, you're you're a pike game. You normally do
something screw it up, you lose it, and.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
You won the game.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
And to all of my little buddies out there that's
been calling me up, like one hundred and twelve, the
one hundred and fourteen people, just to let you know, yes,
I have to do this. Thank God that you guys
were on there this morning, so I have to do this.
I am the number one Carolina fan after beating my
(32:20):
Dallas cowboy.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Oh oh, oh you're switching? Oh is that or was
that like the bet? Did you like to a bet
where you had to.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Say that that was a bet?
Speaker 10 (32:28):
That was a bit?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Hey, Jerney, don't stop believing. Next to the call, that's hilarious.
He and his buddies at a bet where he lost
him to make that a bit. By the way, journey,
I want you to think about this. How happy the
city sound today? That that how happy is Rico today?
That cowboy the Panther thing. That transition is working well
for some fellows. Yes, people are raving about it. All right.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Let me get some panther Steve in here, last call
of the pulse of Panther Nation. What do you say, Stevie?
Speaker 9 (32:55):
Whoa mack?
Speaker 10 (32:57):
Did you love my dad?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Just say it was a cherry Joe slip off?
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Step me on a cowboy hat? Flipping bird? Did you
text in today that you were right?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Baby?
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Did you text in the day you wanted to? Did
you say you wanted tredit for the window?
Speaker 10 (33:13):
Did you see me?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
I had the tone of walk the players coming in
and out.
Speaker 9 (33:16):
Baby, I was giving them hell the Cowboys and uh
my wife got high five and coach the nows that
he came by there.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
You practically want a happy camper. You practiced party camper
as a former riskin fan hating the Cowboys. I absolutely
loved it. Takes me back to the ninety six playoff
game with Kick Their Kick their teeth when they had
eightman Dion Sanders, Michael Irvin and Emmett Smith and we.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Beat those that's right, that's right, physically beat them up.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
And that's what we did yesterday. Baby.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
I loved it. I give him hell on Twitter all
the time.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Your wife's the way your wife looks at you when
you're dancing. I can relate to that. Your wife looks
at you, like, what was I thinking years ago? Why
did I do this?
Speaker 2 (34:10):
All right?
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Brother, well there you go. We gotta hang up on you.
Some Bone can talk again on his own.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Chi struggling to get and I don't know what else
I was asking him. Why did he he texted in
it it that he wanted credit for the win in
the credit segment because of his dance before. That's all.
I was simple and said, I don't think you would
understand that that we can talk back and forth on this,
it's not the wider line. Yeah, he just blew you off.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
The credit goes to rico' daddle and Panther Fiddy, the
two guys that we stole from Jerry Joe that Jerry
underappreciated Bone and we stole from his clutches.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
One guy we stole that you mentioned is Rico can
Rico in the run game Keep this going Sports.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
Radio WFNZ, Honey, It's a lot that went on in
those five years while I was there.
Speaker 7 (35:04):
But yeah, I definitely said it was a little person
that just wanted to get to win and have a
great performance from my end, and like.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I said, those guys allowed me to do it was
able to get the job done. Again, there you go.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Rico said, it was personal, baby, You ran like it
was personal.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
But then again, you run like that all the time.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
He runs angry, he runs bone like everybody in front
of him stole something from him. He runs like everybody
trying to tackle him insulted his mama two minutes prior.
And I love it, man. We both said this earlier
in the show. When the Panthers have been good at football,
and it's been a minute. When they have been good historically,
(35:41):
they have pounded the rock on the ground, whether it
was the nastiest running quarterback in the history of the game,
Cam Newton, whether it was Jay Stu running people over,
and they have been bears against the run. And right
now again I'm not you know, I realized we played
two stinky teams both. But you're starting to see a
(36:04):
bit of that sort of identity, the kind of team
that Dan Morgan wants to build, right like his former
Panther team. You're starting to see it. It's starting to form,
man Rico.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Rico runs like a guy who is trying to get
that huge bag in the offseason Mac that he probably
feels he should have gotten this offseason. Glad he's here,
but a thousand yard guy who's getting better and better,
especially towards the end of last year. Only got one
point two million dollar contract. Then you're throwing some incentives.
He's running mac like, I may have not got it
this year, and I'm accepting, but I'm going to go
(36:35):
earn every yard and get that big bag in the offseason. Yeah,
he's motivated.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Man, he runs like a guy that has had to
read nothing but Bebop text for two hours straight before
the game.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
You know what I mean. That's what he runs like. Yeah, yes,
he got nothing for me. Were your listening, Bollatiers? Hundred
percent listening? Thousand percent less? You said he runs like
a runs like a runs like a saw. Oh, you've
hardly listened to me. Bone, We've been radio married for
over twenty years. You hardly listen to me anymore. Oh
(37:05):
my god, I gotta be honest with you, completely honestly here.
I'm not used to winning streaks and I'm starting to
wear down here as we get close to nine o'clock hour.
I left it all out there back in the seven
o'clock hour today.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Bluebelt Chris says, Rico is the epitome of downhill runner.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I love it. It's a tone setter man.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
It is an attitude, and the offensive line does it
well too, even with three backups in there, and even
Yosh Nyman, and I think it was a good Yosh
Nieman game. Bone we were in second and manageable third
and short. It wasn't a game where there were a
lot of predictable passing situations. That's where Nyman, I think,
really struggles. But a big old dude, so I think
(37:41):
that was his sort of game. But some of the
some of the blocking a Damian Lewis was doing yesterday
and Brady Christiansen and Tommy Tremble at ikey Ikey was
shoving guys around.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
It was good to see back. There are listeners on
the text line that are trying to bait us into
saying a word that we don't want to stay today,
especially you, And I'm not even gonna off. I'm not
I'm not bringing Mac down that path. People said they
want Mac to say it. Someone said say it, say it, Mac,
don't say. I know you won't, but stop trying to
goat Mac, go Mat, go to goat God. I don't
(38:15):
want to go, then you go ahead. I don't want
to go to a goat.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Man, are people really saying the P word on the
they want you to say it? Why would you ask
for that? That's like asking for you to drive a
car off a cliff? What do you what do you
want me to do here? Just enjoy the damn win fit,
he tell these people.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Don't you say it either?
Speaker 8 (38:32):
Man?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Hey, if we if we don't want to say way off,
then this.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
Is something you didn't want to do back in the
summer either, Mac ten win ben uh fan club.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
You want to you want to get your name on
the wagon.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
It's still over there. The list is still here. We
can add acclaim. So that's in wind wagon because this
time next week we're gonna be four and three and
we're already four tenths of the way there.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Baby went down the pipe. Right, there's six wins. I
don't know if the Panthers are still good enough you
get to go money touching like this though. This is
I think that they can blow out the Jets, honestly,
the way the Jets are playing. But are we ready
to be the team met that goes in as a
favorite on the road where they have not been good like,
let's you know, pump the brakes a little bit here
(39:14):
on some of this stuff. It's interesting fun though.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
It's interesting because a lot of people want to make
this next jump right, Is it playoffs? Is it trade deadline?
And we like I heard people calling up Willie p
in the post game, we should be buyers. We should
go get this and get that in the trade deadline.
Then you have people are just like, but we should
try to trade either Chewba Rico. It's like, am I
the only fan that is just completely enjoying? Dare I
(39:38):
say it? The process? I hate to sound like a
boring coach. That's not the P word we're talking about.
I am, yeah, I'm more about process. I'm more about
process than playoffs right now, y'all. I believe before the
season it was a stepping stone season to set up
twenty twenty six for the season where we can stay
the P word. And I believe now the way this
team is developing bone on both sides of the line
(40:00):
in the run game, I believe they're starting to look
like the team I like, like Fiddy thinks they're looking
like his ten win team. I think they're starting to
look like my eight to nineteen preseason. Like, I think
they're starting to look like a team that is making
that step. I'm not gonna be naive enough to think
we can do this against every team running the ball bony,
But Dave Canalis has committed to the run the last
(40:21):
two weeks. It's paid dividends. I like where we're headed.
So is no one else. Just enjoying kind of improving
and football games being fun.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Being relevant, being entertaining.
Speaker 8 (40:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Some people are mad that Mac won't say the word,
and some people are mad no part. Someone said, how
did Matt? How dare Max say the word? Mac didn't
say the word. That's Jim Morris saying the word. All right,
this is what this is what happens. Max did a
pickle right now? Good stuff. Some Charlotte says, we actually
have some depth. Yeah, O line depth is showing running
back depth.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
That's our backup running back that just went for four
to seventy three scrimage yards. The depth isn't there all
over the roster yet. But you can see Dan Moore
Organ's plan. You can see him building in the trenches.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Bone.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
This was the plan, and you could see it starting
to pay off. So that's the stuff that excites me.
Do I still think Canalis has moments in the game,
Bone where I'm like, oh my god, can he handle
all this? Yeah, there were a couple of time outs
wasted in the second half, and he even talked about
him after the game. Luckily we didn't need him because
we just played that last drive masterfully, not letting Dak
(41:23):
get the football back. Did we have a moment Bone
that got squirrely as all hell with XL doing one
of the just of the most knuckleeted things I have
ever seen a Panther player do ever yet.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
But we saw most of almost the full gamble. You
never want to go the full gamble where we look
back and say that is one of the worst decisions
did Panthers take.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
I will say this though, the difference, because I heard
Smoke was bringing this up yesterday. The difference is the
Gamble play was designed by the coaching staff. The coaching
staff Bone thought it was a good idea with a
lead minute soda in the fourth quarter to try to
get tricky with it and try to have Chris Gamble
(42:06):
throw the ball across the field behind.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Him on a punt return.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
This is the most conservative coach you have ever seen,
deciding to get frisky as hell in the fourth quarter
on the road while leading.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
It was the weirdest thing ever.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
So that was like, that was just that was a
systematic like what the hell are you smoking?
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Coaching staff? This one was just one knucklehead.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
And by the way, actually it was two knuckleheads, because
Rico admitted yesterday bone I yelled for him to toss
the ball back to me. So both of you former
game cocks, Boney, what's going on down there? Mackett to
South Carolina education at Columbia?
Speaker 2 (42:43):
What happened with these two do phacies? Did you do
your impression again that you started the show with of
exale Mac trying to toss that ball? What he was
saying to himself, Rico, who you want to have ball?
Where I gave you that ball? I can't do it.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
I hit the first time, I can't hit this time.
It's not coming out as exceled this time coming out
as it's more. Jerry Jones in Xcel's almost like.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
A King of the Hill character when we went alloy
Jerry Jones, I never know what's going to happen when
I do an impression seventy eight point nine percent of
the time.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
It's not going to be good, but man, I hit
that excel. They're always good for us.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
Wasn't it a pot?
Speaker 7 (43:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Good or bad, it's good. I guess when we come
back college football conclusions, we have controversial calls, more fired coaches,
more on Bill Belichick and UNC and Mac. We had
some tortillas flying in Lubbock. Also will explaining that Sports
