Speaker 1 (00:09):
One more hour to go on Weston Walker. You're listening
to Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ and we are
broadcasting live from the Chandler Volta Studio. CV Injury Law
dot Com. CV Injurylaw dot Com. One call. That's all
the Carolinas personal injury lawyers. It was a pleasure meeting
both Michael Chandler and Joseph Volta a little while ago,
right before the show started, actually, and they care about
(00:31):
three things first and foremost, giving you a personalized touch
when it comes to your case. They want to give
you the best outcome, and especially with medical treatment, they
want to make sure that that is provided to the
utmost care. And so they care about each individual case.
Unlike some of these other firms that might just want
to do the whole turn and burn thing now, they
don't want to do that. They want to get to
know you. They care about being here in the community.
(00:51):
They've been involved for quite some time since the nineties, folks,
these guys have been involved in the community, and so
real shout out to Chandler Volta and Michael Chandler and
Joseph Volta for them sponsoring the studios. Really was a
pleasure meeting them earlier today. If you want to text
in on the FANDUL text line seven oh four five
seven oh ninety six to ten.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You think mister Chandler and mister Volta could help with
mental pain due to bad sports.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Local, Yes they could. It's called emotional distress. And I
plan on filing a claim if they do the same
thing that they did to the Jags to the Cardinals
where they suffer that kind of pain causing me to suffer.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
That, so we can make it like a civil lawsuit.
Then if it's multiple people.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I don't know where to end this joke because I
don't want people to be serious about this. You know
how people are crazy out there. I love y'all, but
some of y'all listeners are a little crazy. I don't
want this to be a whole I tripped in the
Taco Bell parking lot situation, so I'm going to sue
Taco Bell for five million dollars. You can't sue the
Panthers for losing. So I just just to be sure
(01:51):
that you are not that person. I want to make
that very clear. I do want to go down a
rabbit hole. We often go down. One of my favorite
things in sport Worts is talking about superhumans and just
being in awe about them being superheroes and Wes, You've
lined up against some superheroes in the a SEC during
your time, and we started talking about this because of
(02:12):
what Jaylen Carter did. He spat not in the face
of Dak Prescott, yes, but on the jersey, and it
does matter. We do have some people that are longtime
listeners of the show that remember your spitting story, if
you want to tell that again, and then we can
parlay that into some superhuman story.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I mean it was during a duke game, and every
time we would play Duke at Duke, we would beat
them pretty good. I don't know, for whatever reason. When
we play them at home it was always a tight game,
but when we played them at Duke it was always
a massacre.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
And so we were beating them pretty good.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
And I told the defensive back how bad I thought
they were, you know, matter of fact, I say, you know,
y'all bleep and suck like, yes, very matter of factly
to him.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
And you know, he tried to spit on me and
so he didn't land it, but he tried.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I did not know he did not land he tried
good for so I got excited because I knew that
gave me a pass to be able to do something
to him at the time of my choosing.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I might not get you, you know, right then and
there when it happens, but I'm going to get you.
And so I waited until he was sitting at the
bottom of a pile. He was just sitting there on
his keyster, and I just stood over the top of
him and worked a good one up in my mouth
and just let it just roll right off and down
the back of his jersey.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You said, we're about three hawks from a loogi and
it was a good spit. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I made sure and worked it up. I took my
mouth piece out, I got it together. I sat there
for a couple of seconds, worked it up, and then
I just let it drop down in the back of
the jersey.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
See what scares me the most about that is the
spit discipline that you showed. Yeah, because we just talked
about some of the sps on you, it's immediate swing time,
but not you. I was waiting for my opportunity.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I was.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I was thinking about it.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
I said, man, it was in the back of my
mind on top of my responsibilities. But I said, hey,
when can I get the opportunity to get this guy spit?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Discipline is wild. I mean that's a very heavy play
from a left tackle, and I've got to say that's
the thing that I'm most impressed by. So then I
asked you some of the more famous names that you
got into tussles or outright fights with. Yes, and we
went down the list. You mentioned Chris Knty a tiny bit, Yes,
Broderick Bunkley. I didn't get into it with Bunkley, but.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
He was a guy that, you know what I'm saying,
You did have to be a little more tactful with
him because of his extreme power.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Ye. Yeah, So so this parlade, I'm sorry, I do
want to this is my favorite thing to do, so
to give people a peek behind the curtain during the
commercial break, it went from famous people in the acc
that you got into at least a tussle with and
then looking back on it now, because you weren't scared
of him, then you were an offensive lineman. There weren't
many people bigger than you know, six', five three hundred
(04:49):
and thirty pounds, Anyway so it's not like you were
scared of. Anybody but thinking about it, logically past forty years,
old who are some dudes that you might not have
wanted to get into a, fight or if you, did
you would just understand it might not go well for.
Me and the names that you brought. Up you brought
Up Roder. Bunkley, yes that's one of those. Names you
just respect, Him, yes just like, yeah, Man i'm a
(05:10):
lot of.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Power you, know he's probably a five hundred venture you,
know you gotta bring.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
It i'm not backing. DOWN i want to be, clear
but something might have happened to me HAD i really
gotten into something serious With. Bunkley you mentioned a few
linebackers that were just like they required. Respect. YES. E.
J henderson was one. Monster The Quel jackson was. Another.
Yes shout out To Maryland IDUs.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Gracious, yeah they Had, maryland you, know back in the
days with The fridge, man they had some ballers and
a Mod, brooks which makes all the sense in the
world if you, know you, know, yeah just a monster
of a. Lot, yeah, man those the, tackles and LIKE i,
Said Darnell doc at the end of my, game he
actually tried to choke. Out, actually you, Know i'm sure
he wouldn't care about me telling this. Story my, Man Josh,
(05:54):
gaddis that's been some coordinated several spots he tried to
choke Out Josh. Gaddison at the end of a, game
it was like all of a, sudden we were walking
to the locker room and THEN i hear a commotion
and a tussle and people trying to break it. Up
So Darnell dockett was definitely guy that was with the
ish you should. Say and then you, know LIKE i,
Said Duquel jackson was just a guy that you just.
(06:14):
Respected like he didn't say, anything but he was just
such a great player that he just came across very no,
nonsense and you, like that's a grown man in there
playing middle.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Lineback and THEN.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Ej, HANDERSON i mean one of the GREATEST acc players in.
HISTORY i, mean you WIN Acc Defensive, PLAYER i mean
you WIN Acc player of The year as a middle.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Linebacker you are a straight. MINUTE i want to go
back To Darnell dockey because that's the one that piques
my interest the. Most, yeah if you're listed in THE
nfl as six y, four two hundred and ninety pounds
and you're here with the smoke while also being relatively
quick for defensive tackle and you're. Crazy sounds Like Darnel
dockey was. Crazy.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
YEAH i remembered back in the, day the first TIME
i saw him was On countdown The Signing, day the
old recruiting, show THE Og Recruiting, show and they did
a video vignette Of Darnelle dockett when he was in
high school In, maryland and it was just pure, carnage
and it was everything you would think it would, be trash,
talking knocking people all over the, place big. HITS i,
(07:12):
mean it was straight. Carnage so you knew automatically that
he was a guy that was going to come in
and be a.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Baller so that's the one where you look back on
it and, say, Look i'm not backing, down but if
something would have happened between me and that mad man
that is almost as big as, me then it might
have just not turned.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Out i'd, had you, know grown Up Mario williams on that.
TOO i would put him because you, know WHEN i
played against him when he was a, freshman he was
like two forty, five that's when he would be on my.
Side but then later he was on the other, side
and that's when he got to the two ninety three
hundred range and he got.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Really really. Big what's worse getting into a spit match
with a duke defensive? Back like getting spit on is? Disrespectful,
Right Or Chris canty to coach you up on how
to be a better line?
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Man, YEAH i had to tell him to shut the bleep. Up,
Okay LIKE i get, it your six. Seven it's hard
for me to get my hands on you as a
six foot. TACKLE i understand. That and then you, know
when you run away from, ME i might hold a
little bit your shoulder paths might be out of your
jersey at this. Point but don't try to coach me
on the, Field, like don't do. That that's gonna make
me really want to do some harm to. You but,
(08:23):
yeah to this day he was my toughest, assignment and,
yeah he was out there trying to coach.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Me Man Irish coffee, said you holding on to your
spit until later as serial killer. Energy WHAT i do
want to say, Is Chris, canty you really want to
make somebody, frustrated that's the way to do. It, yeah
there is clearly such a different class between me and.
You i'm gonna help you get closer to the level on.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
That, Yeah he's, like keep your hands, inside, MAN i, said,
yo shut the just, HEY i, MEAN i think that's.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Hilarious all, right keep your hands. Inside you want to
make sure you get livers out Of i'm gonna have
to ask. Him i'm gonna ask.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
HIM i, say, yoh is that act think you were
trying to do to like psych me, out just to
mess with, me to demean me that. Much It's tim
tebowesque when he says bless you Or andrew luck when
you get destroyed on a, sack you, say, hey great. Hit,
yeah it's it's a little of that where, hey nice,
effort young, fella, like great, job but just make sure
(09:19):
your hand placement Is no man that Would Michael bolwear was.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Like that For Florida. State he was like.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
That he was very religious and we were, degenerates AND
i remember he told he told my Buddy damon mcwhitey fall.
BACK i forgot what, Happened like they got into. It
it was like a little it might have carried over
to the sideline or something like.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That the block and then he told Him god bless.
You oh, yeah my. Boy damon was like, yo he was, Like,
yo shut the bleep up with that. Bleep, yeah did
he do? It did he shut the bleep? Up he
probably just, like you, Know i'm gonna pray for. You
that's probably what he's. Seeing that's probably what he, Said,
lord please forgive this. Man, yeah and it's.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Bad you, know we kind of looked forward that stuff like,
that for people to say things like, that just so
that we could be the geners that we.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Were, yeah and so that's a great tactic to go
back at. It the problem, IS i don't, KNOW i
wonder if it never bothered, him then you would lose
that psychological. Mashup. Yeah, yeah, yeah but it seems Like
kanty just to no. Offense it seems it would beat me.
Too can't he trying to coach? Me that would beat me? Immediately, yeah,
man everybody you know had a tough day out there
(10:25):
that day Against. Virginia we battled, him but, yeah it
was it was a tough day that. Day and Mod
broks was on that. Team, yes it Was.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Virginia, Yeah, BLACKSTOCK i mean that lineback And colle was
sick Black, stock because that's a guy that's a forgotten
acc Just monster Black. Stock he's remember he was pretty
good pro for a while for The Arizona. Cardinals, Blackstock,
wills And. DOCKET i was just looking at. Him was
there from four to twenty. Thirteen, yeah three time pro,
Bowler All pro, Player SO i get where you're coming.
(10:52):
From on, docket M dog has a great suggestion for
this week's Fire Fizzle west, right best mean guys that
would be. Good some of, these, uh you guys supply
some good, Stuff so never hesitate to give me your
fire physical ideas because they.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Do hell best mean, GUYS i, mean, look you can
let us know right here on The FanDuel text line
the meanest cusses that you know in sports History FanDuel text.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
LINES i don't even want to start giving them away
because automatically gods have come into my. Head But i'm
gonna try to make this an all sports thing to
make it. Interesting i'm not going to go just.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
FOOTBALL i always have one, answer Like endomican su is
the one for me THAT i just feel like there's
no winning against that. Guy he was too, good one
of the more dominant college football players of all, time
and he's also one of the meaner guys of all.
Time just Like, jesus when you're making these, people when
you're making A dominican, sue why do you have to
(11:45):
just dump a bucket of big and mean and that guy's. Body,
yeah hate any, sensitivity like any, anything a little, softness
just a tiny bit of. Softness, no, okay play football and.
Recavia it got a whole bunch of. People we got
The Live wire coming up next With Shop Dog Sports
radio ninety two to SEVEN. Wfnz, OKAY i promise we'll
(12:11):
move off Of Larry allen stories and superhuman. Stories but
we all just gathered around my computer during the commercial
break and watched this man work his way up to bench, pressing,
yes seven hundred pounds and everybody going crazy in That
Dallas cowboys weight room probably circa two thousand and. Three. Yeah,
man that was just quite the.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Feat but the THING i think about, is you, know
just his regular sets in the. GYM i, mean if
you're throwing up seven, hundred then that means that you're.
Repping you, know you're coming there for nice five by
five and you're throwing five hundred on there by the
time it's over, with maybe even six hundred to throw
it on there for five reps and you're just wrapping it.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
All there's a great story From Chris weber who says
he was working. OUT i forget where, exactly but he
was working out And Earl boykins walks. In if you
don't know Who Earl boykins, is he is one of
the SHORTEST nba players of all, time five to five
to be. Exact Only Muggsy BOGUES i believe is. SHORTER
i think that's. It he's second shortest of all. Time
Earl boykins walks in and starts throwing up some ridiculous
(13:10):
amount of weight that he starts bench pressing that he.
Himself Chris, webber who is a pretty powerful power forward
all things, Considered Chris weber couldn't do the kind of.
Weight AND i need to look up exactly the kind
of weight That Earl boykins was throwing. Up but it
is kind of wild to see a five to five
little guard like. That, Why i'd never heard that. BEFORE
i need to look it. Up, yeah it's a it's
(13:32):
a fun story From Chris. Webber that's really. Cool, yeah all, Right, Muggsy.
Muggsy all he is is five to three. Muscle oh,
YEAH i mean the calves that this. Legs, SORRY i, mean,
look we're talking about. It we're. Here the, quads the muggsy,
quads a little bit of a like quad father. Esque
maybe not Say Quon, barkley but he had some quads on.
(13:52):
Him he's a calf. Guy shout out to muggies quads man,
shop how are your quad's? Looking are? They could they
hula hoop through a tereo BECAUSE i know my Good, yeah,
yeah they're prety. Close we're not throwing up any weight
on the squad. Rack all, right, trappy you ready for
some sound that probably better suits us around. Here we
can play some. Sound we can't, squat but we can
(14:13):
play some sound time now for the live wires in the,
west in the west Of.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Live.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Wise, hey, alrighty, well, uh we're gonna start off with
a guy who you actually mentioned during the, Breakwalker that
Is Al wallace who was talking About ted or t
mac whatever One. Colin colin AND i were still on
the tet wave until he wins a playoff game then
he can get the t. Mac but, anyway as of right,
now it was one of the bright spots in the.
(14:44):
Game On, sunday and this is What Al wallas had
to say ABOUT T max's.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Performance, yeah the one THING i like about t mac
is that he is.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Coachable this guy is a.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Sponge he wants to learn and you've kind of seen
that growth in him so. Far so when he gets
an opportunity to just go out there and make, Plays
i'm on the edge of my. Seat i'm excited about
what could be From tyloroy, McMillan just because you watch
a guy that comes, out you, know preseason, early doesn't
get his.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Head quite around on the ball he.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Misses that happens faster down in the red Zone game
ONE nfl FIRST nfl catch eleven, Yards that head snaps,
around he knows that ball is coming before he comes
out of the. Break great sign that a guy is
just learning how to play the game on the. Run
big expectations for the top.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Pick so after game one of HIS nfl, career have
you guys adjusted what you think his stock line will
look like by the end of the.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Season, uh not, really Because i'm trying to remember WHAT
i rejected for. HIM i THINK i, SAID i think
you were nine, Hundred, yeah something like. That so, Yeah
i'm not going to adjust that right now Because i'm
interested Until Jalen kocher returns to this lineup to see
what the production looks like because he is the de
(15:58):
facto number one play and teams are going to be
able to focus on that a little bit more. Now
AS i, said he's going to get the other team's best,
corner he's going to get the coverage rolling to. Him
the target of TEAMS i as far as stopping The
Carolina panthers passing attack is going to start With tetoroa,
McMillan and So i'm gonna be interested to see how
he adjusted that and how the team adjusted. That i've
(16:21):
adjusted it a little, bit partly because of the injuries
and partly because of what he's able to do In week. One,
Yeah i'm going up for. Sure i'm going a, THOUSAND
i really, am AND i would love to see. IT i,
think who else are you throwing to if you don't
Have Jalen kocher out. There was looking at a couple
of the stats WHERE i don't want to get into
the crazy nerd boy stats that are out there that
support what teamac did Against, jacksonville but also it's supported
(16:44):
How bryce should be throwing him the ball a lot.
MORE i think The panthers are going to tap into
that because who else are you going to throw to?
It just it really is a lot of me believing
in T. MAC a lot of it is he's just
clearly the most talented wide receiver you have out there right.
Now so even if you have force feed, him even
if you have to be creative and how you're going
to Move temac, around maybe you put him in the
(17:04):
slot a little bit more so to free up some
other guys on the, outside and then they have to
calculate for. That just the chess game that's back and.
FORTH i used to say one hundred and fifteen. TARGETS
i was looking at that When feelin And coker we're
still healthy and on the. TEAM i THINK i think
T mac Gets i'll go up to one FOR i
think we're getting up there to some pretty high volume.
(17:25):
Stuff the only thing that has me a little wary
of those types of numbers is do The panthers somehow get?
Leads shocker like winning games and getting leads and whatnot
and then running the football a little bit. More but even,
SO i just think T mac is going to be
a target monster because there's not anybody else to throw.
To coker is going to be a part of the.
EQUATION i think he's going to get a lot of
(17:47):
passes his way, also so that also is another part
of the. Calculation give me one hundred and forty, targets
give me a thousand. Yards, Yeah i'm raising up the
volume for, him all. Right hell?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah and speaking of you saying that there's no one
else to throw, To connor or from The Monday Morning
Quarterback pod said that he's more concerned About xcel than
he is About Bryce.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Young are you worried about the Way bryce played a?
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Little i'm more worried about the way that some of
the other wideouts on that, roster Like Xavior, legatt is
getting three out of seven targets and is not getting
his foot down in certain. Situations i'm more worried about,
that If i'm being.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Honest So colin AND i have just, Yeah colin AND
i have been saying this is these four weeks Without
cocher now down to, three pretty darn, important you would,
say For XL's career and what he's gonna what his
role is going to be After coker. Returns how concerned
are you guys that you know a guy Like xcel
doesn't even get a contract extension?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Here uh, YEAH i MEAN i think that's a possibility
at this point what we've. SEEN i, mean because the thing,
is we can go to the obvious stuff of what
he didn't do On, sunday but the thing is the,
mentality And i'm not even going to go to the
off the field. Stuff it's the fact that the narrative
for him was coming into this season with the year
(19:05):
in which he felt like was a disappointment as a
first Round it was some of the big drops that
he had and things of that. Nature so you knew
the spotlight was on. You you knew all eyes were on.
You you knew people were waiting to see what you
were going to. Do and that's WHERE i bring the
whole professionalism point into.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It the.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Pros pros they know what they need to work on
in their, game and they're going to come back with
a renewed. Vigor they're going to come back with improvements
in their. Game we saw none From, excel AND i
think that is the most disheartening part is that you
knew what people were saying about.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
You you knew what was being and it's.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Not even about necessarily what people were saying about. You
you knew as a player that you could look in
and see where the flaws in your game, were what
you needed to improve to go from year one to
a big improvement in year two as a wide. Receiver
and then you come out and you're doing one on
one stuff that you're failing at as far as keeping
(19:59):
your feeding, bound, blocking playing hard at least if you're
not going to be able to register some, catches get
out there and block your tail off your two hundred
and twenty plus, pounds you should be an asset in
the run. Game and SO i think that's the biggest
thing is that you didn't come in with the mentality
That i'm coming to dominate in my second, season because
(20:20):
it didn't look like a kid who wants to come
out and dominate in you.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Two that's an. Issue not blocking is an. Issue the
other issue IS i just don't know if he's capable
of being fluid and working on some of the things
or being successful at some of the things THAT i
see as outright. FLAWS i don't know if it's ever
going to be SOMETHING i watch With, excel where he's
just able to plant his foot in the ground create
(20:45):
a whole bunch of separation with whatever route he, decided
whatever route he's supposed to. Run when he does have
the football in his, hand can he juke you out
of your? Shoes or is it just going to be
all speed and? Power and that's how he? Wins and
if you mitigate, that he can't win any other. One
how many counters do you? Have? It just as you've
mentioned a million, times AND i totally, agree it doesn't look.
(21:06):
Fast he is, FAST i know the forty. TIMES i get,
that but he doesn't look, fast and he doesn't look
sidelined to sideline. Fast it's the agility THAT i think is.
Lacking and if you don't have all that much agility
and they mitigate the straight line, SPEED i just don't
know how else you can. Win but, see the thing
is is that there have been so MANY nfl players
that have made great, careers Made hall Of fame careers
(21:27):
off being guys that weren't necessarily speed. Merchants you could
look at A Chris. Carter you can even go look
at the kid who played, Here ed, McCaffrey christian's. Daddy,
well those are, LIKE i don't that's my point, THOUGH
i Think excel doesn't have the agility that those guys.
Are stee what you're.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Saying BUT i think that, still if you are truly
dedicated to your craft and you really really work at,
it there are, ways and even if it's not necessarily
him becoming a row, guy but there are ways that
he can work on his game to be able To,
okay because like well Say muhammad had good, quickness but
you wouldn't say that he would juke you out of your.
(22:04):
Shoes But moose found a way to get open because
he was. Physical he would use his physicality to do.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
That so if your, excel you can use something you
got either for three nine, speed which we don't say
you necessarily play with all the. Time, okay, well maybe
you're lacking that subtle quickness to be able to get.
Off but then after, that can you be a?
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Brute can you be a brute and just use your
physicality to get?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Open, well, Yeah i'm with. YOU i Think i'm not
upset with. You i'm just that in. General, yeah, NO
i don't think you. ARE i think what's happening With. Excel,
YEAH i understand what you're saying as. WELL i think With,
excel for, me there's too much thinking going on and
he just doesn't know how to play right. Now and
if you do catch the, football that's a. Priority because
remember last year there were ways where he was winning,
(22:48):
downfield he was, Open brice was Hitting excel. Downfield, okay
so you took care of all that, stuff and then
what would. Happen you would drop the. Football so even
if you were getting, open you weren't hauling in the,
catch and that's something that brings you. Down so now
if you're not hauling in those passes downfield because you got,
open you did all that. Stuff, Cool now you're not catching. It,
now how do you get open within five yards ten
(23:09):
yards past the line of? Scrimmage but now you're not
keeping it in. Bounds there's the block play that's going.
Around there's one clip Of excel where he just falls like.
That it's too much. THINKING i know you can put
one foot in front of the. OTHER i know you
can do, that BUT i don't think he has enough
agility to get pushed off of his spot at the
line of. Scrimmage but he's thinking about route, running so
(23:30):
now he's not anchoring pushing back into the. CORNERBACK i
think there's too much stuff going, on, man that's WHAT i. Think,
yeah that's WHAT i think With, excel AND i hope
he's able to figure it, out, MAN i really. DO
i hope he's able to figure it. Out last thing
ABOUT xcel in terms of targets and. Stuff getting back
to What Bryce young might. Do at some point you
stop trusting, him, Right, yeah but you, know, yeah you're.
(23:53):
Right if he's, open do you double hitch because you
SEE xl as the one that you're trying to throw
to the? Imazing if the covers dictated he's, open you
have to keep doing it until the coaches take him
off the. Field if he's the guy that's, open if
he's where the read should, go you got to throw
it to. Him, Yeah like he's just he's. Stiff if
he is, OPEN i don't trust him catching the football right.
(24:14):
NOW i hope he shuts me up all sorts of different.
WAYS i would love to see it Because i'm pulling for, Him,
YEAH i really. Am it's just we haven't seen any
evidence because then people are gonna, say, See bryce is so.
Trash look at. Him he doesn't know what he's. Doing
it's going to be up to us to just wade
through all of the trash that people are going to throw.
Out there are there are reasons to uh Say bryce
(24:37):
was bad in game. One there are plenty of. Them
there was a good pass To excel that Was excel's.
Fault got to get the foot. Down that's not On.
Bryce what else you? Got all, right we'll actually speaking Of.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Bryce one of his you, know one of his apologies
on the national media has always Been Dan, Orlovsky and
here's what he had to say about His week one
performance against The.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Jaguars All, right my thoughts On Bryce young from week?
Speaker 7 (25:01):
One everyone Knows i'm a big fan Of.
Speaker 8 (25:03):
Bryce still believe In bryce week, one.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
It looks like he's living in a world of trying
to have some type of structure within his drops while
also allowing the kind of unstructured drop he's had, before
of the almost the hop or the gather or the skip.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Backwards AND i think it led to some, missus some
lack of. Timing usually he's so good anticipating, throws and
that did not show itself in week.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
One so would you be more concerned About, bryce kind
of reverting back to having problems with the, fundamentals are
are you more concerned With bryce or are you more
concerned that our, quarterback Whisper Dave canals hasn't quite got
even the fundamentals quite situated already.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
With oh, yeah, no that's not his, fault, man because
it's human.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Nature you can practice a technique all day, long but
it's going to take discipline from the. Player we talked
about When Dave canals first got, here that's what he.
Did he started Fixing bryce from the feet, up and
so you can coach a guy to do that stuff
all day. Long but as they, say when the bullets are,
flying when you get out there and there's two hundred
and ninety pound that's coming at your head and you
have to make a, decision and that's in two and
(26:14):
a half, seconds you're not going to necessarily be thinking
about all those drills and all those things that you.
Did so, yeah, NAH i don't put any of that
on the. Coach when you talk fundamentals and things like,
that it comes down to the discipline of the.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Player it does come down to the discipline of the.
Player it also just comes down to playing as many
reps as. Possible one thing about my tweet that people
missed the mark on WHEN i said that this was
the worst Game bryce has played since coming back to
the starting. LINEUP i don't think that this was a
worst game compared to the two games that he played
to start last. Season those were by far worse in my. Opinion,
(26:47):
ALSO i don't think that game was as bad as
pretty much every single contest THAT i saw his rookie.
Year the only game THAT i think might have been
better than this first one Was Green, bay and that's.
AMAZING i just that is to illustrate the kind of
gap that is between What bryce showed us his rookie
season in the first two starts of twenty twenty four
(27:08):
compared to WHAT i still consider a bad game in
twenty twenty. Five so all that being, said what you
can be comforted by IS i actually wasn't reminded AFTER
i told you On, MONDAY i was reminded of all
this bad stuff in Recent panthers. HISTORY i wasn't reminded
Of bryce being scared in the. Pocket he wasn't. Scared
he was scared in the pocket despite good. Protection the
(27:29):
first two starts of twenty twenty. Four he wasn't scared
in the pocket In. Jacksonville it might have changed his,
mechanics but he didn't look. Down he wasn't watching edge
rusher's you, know blow right by their tackles and you,
know get into the pocket or anything like. THAT i
didn't see those types of. Issues what ISSUES i saw
was some, misses some bad decision making in some, aspects
(27:51):
but it wasn't uncombackable from. LIKE i think he could bounce.
Back in, FACT i think he will bounce back Against
arizona and play quite. WELL i was scared to death
every single GAME i watched From bryce in the second
half of his rookie, season and especially after those first two.
Starts i'm not scared to death Of bryce going into week,
two all, Right.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
And the last ONE i have for. YOU i don't
know if you guys remember the Name Kellen. Blair he
was the guy who's audio played where he came up
with the football.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Festivals oh, wow, OKAY i forgot about. That, yes NOW
i know he.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Had another banger of an. Idea, okay So i'm gonna
play this clip and Then i'm gonna ask you a.
Question it's kind of a spin off of.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
This the same way football teams all have a kicker
that comes out and does his little soccer. Kick soccer
teams need to have One american football player and if
the game ends seero to, zero each team sends out
their football player and they do An oklahoma drill at
midfield and that's how you decide the.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Winner so obviously that's. Ridiculous but my QUESTION i have
for you, is in, sports what's an overtime rule or
way that it's decided that you guys would.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Change oh, god, well what about the golden at? Bat
if you have a tie ball game In Major League,
baseball at the end of let's say ten or eleven,
innings you send up one batter from your team for
a home run, derby and you see how many dingers
they hit and whoever hits albums about to go with that.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
One because a lot of the other SPORTS i don't
have any issues with their, OVERTIME.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I guess it's not the golden at. Bat that's something.
Different the golden at bat is at any, time any
time in the, game whatever the, situation you can throw
up your best hitter if he's in the dugout still
and then if there's you, know if the situation calls for,
it you can put your best hitter up. THERE i
changed my. MIND i go.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
BACK i changed my. MIND i would put college rules
in THE nfl for.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Overtime oh, NO i hate college hope BECAUSE i think
THAT nfl can be so long and born and drawn
out and then we can get a draw, sometimes and
SO i. WOULD i would probably do, it but maybe
put the ball back a little. Further my issue WITH
nfl overtime is when they were trying to figure out
ways to have games not ending draws as much they
(29:58):
what they, do they decide to cut down the overtime
period from fifteen to. Ten and it was a little
bit because of player. Safety. Man, Look i'm with keeping
players safe as much as. Possible you're telling me in,
overtime which probably happens for a, team like how many
overtime games do you think the team that plays the
most overtime game plays probably like? Three get, right, right, right, right,
(30:20):
Right so now you're talking about fifteen minutes of football
that you've taken off of the clock for these players
to possibly be. Safe and by the, way those extra
fifteen or those extra fifteen. Minutes maybe it's just one
side of the ball that's playing in the you, know
you start to split that in. Half, ANYWAYS i hated
when they took the extra five minutes off because now
you just have a team that goes out there on one.
(30:42):
Drive they're milking the clock down to maybe one minute
in a real long. Drive and now as we're trying
to make it fair for both the offense and the,
defense what you've done is you've given the team that
receives the kickoff a way bigger. ADVANTAGE I i college.
RULES i can't stand think he completely changes the dynamic of.
Football it's, FUN i will, say it's, fun but there's
(31:06):
NO i know you take over time win For. CHARLOTTE i.
WOULD i would do a lot of things for an
overtime win For. CHARLOTTE i would do a lot of,
things things THAT i can't really share on. AIR i,
MIGHT i might break a couple of. RULES i would
say that It's Weston walker finishing up with the live.

so all, right give me off the Mic Kyle Bailey,
Show Kyle. Bailey he's gonna hop on the mic in
The Chandler Vaulta studios Alongside Smoke ludwig in just a,
Moment keep it right. Here Sports radio ninety two SEVEN
wfnz
One more hour to go on Weston Walker. You're listening
to Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ and we are
broadcasting live from the Chandler Volta Studio. CV Injury Law
dot Com. CV Injurylaw dot Com. One call. That's all
the Carolinas personal injury lawyers. It was a pleasure meeting
both Michael Chandler and Joseph Volta a little while ago,
right before the show started, actually, and they care about
(00:31):
three things first and foremost, giving you a personalized touch
when it comes to your case. They want to give
you the best outcome, and especially with medical treatment, they
want to make sure that that is provided to the
utmost care. And so they care about each individual case.
Unlike some of these other firms that might just want
to do the whole turn and burn thing now, they
don't want to do that. They want to get to
know you. They care about being here in the community.
(00:51):
They've been involved for quite some time since the nineties, folks,
these guys have been involved in the community, and so
real shout out to Chandler Volta and Michael Chandler and
Joseph Volta for them sponsoring the studios. Really was a
pleasure meeting them earlier today. If you want to text
in on the FANDUL text line seven oh four five
seven oh ninety six to ten.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You think mister Chandler and mister Volta could help with
mental pain due to bad sports.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Local, Yes they could. It's called emotional distress. And I
plan on filing a claim if they do the same
thing that they did to the Jags to the Cardinals
where they suffer that kind of pain causing me to suffer.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
That, so we can make it like a civil lawsuit.
Then if it's multiple people.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I don't know where to end this joke because I
don't want people to be serious about this. You know
how people are crazy out there. I love y'all, but
some of y'all listeners are a little crazy. I don't
want this to be a whole I tripped in the
Taco Bell parking lot situation, so I'm going to sue
Taco Bell for five million dollars. You can't sue the
Panthers for losing. So I just just to be sure
(01:51):
that you are not that person. I want to make
that very clear. I do want to go down a
rabbit hole. We often go down. One of my favorite
things in sport Worts is talking about superhumans and just
being in awe about them being superheroes and Wes, You've
lined up against some superheroes in the a SEC during
your time, and we started talking about this because of
(02:12):
what Jaylen Carter did. He spat not in the face
of Dak Prescott, yes, but on the jersey, and it
does matter. We do have some people that are longtime
listeners of the show that remember your spitting story, if
you want to tell that again, and then we can
parlay that into some superhuman story.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I mean it was during a duke game, and every
time we would play Duke at Duke, we would beat
them pretty good. I don't know, for whatever reason. When
we play them at home it was always a tight game,
but when we played them at Duke it was always
a massacre.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
And so we were beating them pretty good.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
And I told the defensive back how bad I thought
they were, you know, matter of fact, I say, you know,
y'all bleep and suck like, yes, very matter of factly
to him.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
And you know, he tried to spit on me and
so he didn't land it, but he tried.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I did not know he did not land he tried
good for so I got excited because I knew that
gave me a pass to be able to do something
to him at the time of my choosing.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I might not get you, you know, right then and
there when it happens, but I'm going to get you.
And so I waited until he was sitting at the
bottom of a pile. He was just sitting there on
his keyster, and I just stood over the top of
him and worked a good one up in my mouth
and just let it just roll right off and down
the back of his jersey.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You said, we're about three hawks from a loogi and
it was a good spit. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I made sure and worked it up. I took my
mouth piece out, I got it together. I sat there
for a couple of seconds, worked it up, and then
I just let it drop down in the back of
the jersey.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
See what scares me the most about that is the
spit discipline that you showed. Yeah, because we just talked
about some of the sps on you, it's immediate swing time,
but not you. I was waiting for my opportunity.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I was.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I was thinking about it.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
I said, man, it was in the back of my
mind on top of my responsibilities. But I said, hey,
when can I get the opportunity to get this guy spit?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Discipline is wild. I mean that's a very heavy play
from a left tackle, and I've got to say that's
the thing that I'm most impressed by. So then I
asked you some of the more famous names that you
got into tussles or outright fights with. Yes, and we
went down the list. You mentioned Chris Knty a tiny bit, Yes,
Broderick Bunkley. I didn't get into it with Bunkley, but.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
He was a guy that, you know what I'm saying,
You did have to be a little more tactful with
him because of his extreme power.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Ye. Yeah, So so this parlade, I'm sorry, I do
want to this is my favorite thing to do, so
to give people a peek behind the curtain during the
commercial break, it went from famous people in the acc
that you got into at least a tussle with and
then looking back on it now, because you weren't scared
of him, then you were an offensive lineman. There weren't
many people bigger than you know, six', five three hundred
(04:49):
and thirty pounds, Anyway so it's not like you were
scared of. Anybody but thinking about it, logically past forty years,
old who are some dudes that you might not have
wanted to get into a, fight or if you, did
you would just understand it might not go well for.
Me and the names that you brought. Up you brought
Up Roder. Bunkley, yes that's one of those. Names you
just respect, Him, yes just like, yeah, Man i'm a
(05:10):
lot of.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Power you, know he's probably a five hundred venture you,
know you gotta bring.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
It i'm not backing. DOWN i want to be, clear
but something might have happened to me HAD i really
gotten into something serious With. Bunkley you mentioned a few
linebackers that were just like they required. Respect. YES. E.
J henderson was one. Monster The Quel jackson was. Another.
Yes shout out To Maryland IDUs.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Gracious, yeah they Had, maryland you, know back in the
days with The fridge, man they had some ballers and
a Mod, brooks which makes all the sense in the
world if you, know you, know, yeah just a monster
of a. Lot, yeah, man those the, tackles and LIKE i,
Said Darnell doc at the end of my, game he
actually tried to choke. Out, actually you, Know i'm sure
he wouldn't care about me telling this. Story my, Man Josh,
(05:54):
gaddis that's been some coordinated several spots he tried to
choke Out Josh. Gaddison at the end of a, game
it was like all of a, sudden we were walking
to the locker room and THEN i hear a commotion
and a tussle and people trying to break it. Up
So Darnell dockett was definitely guy that was with the
ish you should. Say and then you, know LIKE i,
Said Duquel jackson was just a guy that you just.
(06:14):
Respected like he didn't say, anything but he was just
such a great player that he just came across very no,
nonsense and you, like that's a grown man in there
playing middle.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Lineback and THEN.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Ej, HANDERSON i mean one of the GREATEST acc players in.
HISTORY i, mean you WIN Acc Defensive, PLAYER i mean
you WIN Acc player of The year as a middle.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Linebacker you are a straight. MINUTE i want to go
back To Darnell dockey because that's the one that piques
my interest the. Most, yeah if you're listed in THE
nfl as six y, four two hundred and ninety pounds
and you're here with the smoke while also being relatively
quick for defensive tackle and you're. Crazy sounds Like Darnel
dockey was. Crazy.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
YEAH i remembered back in the, day the first TIME
i saw him was On countdown The Signing, day the
old recruiting, show THE Og Recruiting, show and they did
a video vignette Of Darnelle dockett when he was in
high school In, maryland and it was just pure, carnage
and it was everything you would think it would, be trash,
talking knocking people all over the, place big. HITS i,
(07:12):
mean it was straight. Carnage so you knew automatically that
he was a guy that was going to come in
and be a.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Baller so that's the one where you look back on
it and, say, Look i'm not backing, down but if
something would have happened between me and that mad man
that is almost as big as, me then it might
have just not turned.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Out i'd, had you, know grown Up Mario williams on that.
TOO i would put him because you, know WHEN i
played against him when he was a, freshman he was
like two forty, five that's when he would be on my.
Side but then later he was on the other, side
and that's when he got to the two ninety three
hundred range and he got.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Really really. Big what's worse getting into a spit match
with a duke defensive? Back like getting spit on is? Disrespectful,
Right Or Chris canty to coach you up on how
to be a better line?
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Man, YEAH i had to tell him to shut the bleep. Up,
Okay LIKE i get, it your six. Seven it's hard
for me to get my hands on you as a
six foot. TACKLE i understand. That and then you, know
when you run away from, ME i might hold a
little bit your shoulder paths might be out of your
jersey at this. Point but don't try to coach me
on the, Field, like don't do. That that's gonna make
me really want to do some harm to. You but,
(08:23):
yeah to this day he was my toughest, assignment and,
yeah he was out there trying to coach.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Me Man Irish coffee, said you holding on to your
spit until later as serial killer. Energy WHAT i do
want to say, Is Chris, canty you really want to
make somebody, frustrated that's the way to do. It, yeah
there is clearly such a different class between me and.
You i'm gonna help you get closer to the level on.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
That, Yeah he's, like keep your hands, inside, MAN i, said,
yo shut the just, HEY i, MEAN i think that's.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Hilarious all, right keep your hands. Inside you want to
make sure you get livers out Of i'm gonna have
to ask. Him i'm gonna ask.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
HIM i, say, yoh is that act think you were
trying to do to like psych me, out just to
mess with, me to demean me that. Much It's tim
tebowesque when he says bless you Or andrew luck when
you get destroyed on a, sack you, say, hey great. Hit,
yeah it's it's a little of that where, hey nice,
effort young, fella, like great, job but just make sure
(09:19):
your hand placement Is no man that Would Michael bolwear was.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Like that For Florida. State he was like.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
That he was very religious and we were, degenerates AND
i remember he told he told my Buddy damon mcwhitey fall.
BACK i forgot what, Happened like they got into. It
it was like a little it might have carried over
to the sideline or something like.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That the block and then he told Him god bless.
You oh, yeah my. Boy damon was like, yo he was, Like,
yo shut the bleep up with that. Bleep, yeah did
he do? It did he shut the bleep? Up he
probably just, like you, Know i'm gonna pray for. You
that's probably what he's. Seeing that's probably what he, Said,
lord please forgive this. Man, yeah and it's.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Bad you, know we kind of looked forward that stuff like,
that for people to say things like, that just so
that we could be the geners that we.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Were, yeah and so that's a great tactic to go
back at. It the problem, IS i don't, KNOW i
wonder if it never bothered, him then you would lose
that psychological. Mashup. Yeah, yeah, yeah but it seems Like
kanty just to no. Offense it seems it would beat me.
Too can't he trying to coach? Me that would beat me? Immediately, yeah,
man everybody you know had a tough day out there
(10:25):
that day Against. Virginia we battled, him but, yeah it
was it was a tough day that. Day and Mod
broks was on that. Team, yes it Was.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Virginia, Yeah, BLACKSTOCK i mean that lineback And colle was
sick Black, stock because that's a guy that's a forgotten
acc Just monster Black. Stock he's remember he was pretty
good pro for a while for The Arizona. Cardinals, Blackstock,
wills And. DOCKET i was just looking at. Him was
there from four to twenty. Thirteen, yeah three time pro,
Bowler All pro, Player SO i get where you're coming.
(10:52):
From on, docket M dog has a great suggestion for
this week's Fire Fizzle west, right best mean guys that
would be. Good some of, these, uh you guys supply
some good, Stuff so never hesitate to give me your
fire physical ideas because they.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Do hell best mean, GUYS i, mean, look you can
let us know right here on The FanDuel text line
the meanest cusses that you know in sports History FanDuel text.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
LINES i don't even want to start giving them away
because automatically gods have come into my. Head But i'm
gonna try to make this an all sports thing to
make it. Interesting i'm not going to go just.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
FOOTBALL i always have one, answer Like endomican su is
the one for me THAT i just feel like there's
no winning against that. Guy he was too, good one
of the more dominant college football players of all, time
and he's also one of the meaner guys of all.
Time just Like, jesus when you're making these, people when
you're making A dominican, sue why do you have to
(11:45):
just dump a bucket of big and mean and that guy's. Body,
yeah hate any, sensitivity like any, anything a little, softness
just a tiny bit of. Softness, no, okay play football and.
Recavia it got a whole bunch of. People we got
The Live wire coming up next With Shop Dog Sports
radio ninety two to SEVEN. Wfnz, OKAY i promise we'll
(12:11):
move off Of Larry allen stories and superhuman. Stories but
we all just gathered around my computer during the commercial
break and watched this man work his way up to bench, pressing,
yes seven hundred pounds and everybody going crazy in That
Dallas cowboys weight room probably circa two thousand and. Three. Yeah,
man that was just quite the.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Feat but the THING i think about, is you, know
just his regular sets in the. GYM i, mean if
you're throwing up seven, hundred then that means that you're.
Repping you, know you're coming there for nice five by
five and you're throwing five hundred on there by the
time it's over, with maybe even six hundred to throw
it on there for five reps and you're just wrapping it.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
All there's a great story From Chris weber who says
he was working. OUT i forget where, exactly but he
was working out And Earl boykins walks. In if you
don't know Who Earl boykins, is he is one of
the SHORTEST nba players of all, time five to five
to be. Exact Only Muggsy BOGUES i believe is. SHORTER
i think that's. It he's second shortest of all. Time
Earl boykins walks in and starts throwing up some ridiculous
(13:10):
amount of weight that he starts bench pressing that he.
Himself Chris, webber who is a pretty powerful power forward
all things, Considered Chris weber couldn't do the kind of.
Weight AND i need to look up exactly the kind
of weight That Earl boykins was throwing. Up but it
is kind of wild to see a five to five
little guard like. That, Why i'd never heard that. BEFORE
i need to look it. Up, yeah it's a it's
(13:32):
a fun story From Chris. Webber that's really. Cool, yeah all, Right, Muggsy.
Muggsy all he is is five to three. Muscle oh,
YEAH i mean the calves that this. Legs, SORRY i, mean,
look we're talking about. It we're. Here the, quads the muggsy,
quads a little bit of a like quad father. Esque
maybe not Say Quon, barkley but he had some quads on.
(13:52):
Him he's a calf. Guy shout out to muggies quads man,
shop how are your quad's? Looking are? They could they
hula hoop through a tereo BECAUSE i know my Good, yeah,
yeah they're prety. Close we're not throwing up any weight
on the squad. Rack all, right, trappy you ready for
some sound that probably better suits us around. Here we
can play some. Sound we can't, squat but we can
(14:13):
play some sound time now for the live wires in the,
west in the west Of.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Live.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Wise, hey, alrighty, well, uh we're gonna start off with
a guy who you actually mentioned during the, Breakwalker that
Is Al wallace who was talking About ted or t
mac whatever One. Colin colin AND i were still on
the tet wave until he wins a playoff game then
he can get the t. Mac but, anyway as of right,
now it was one of the bright spots in the.
(14:44):
Game On, sunday and this is What Al wallas had
to say ABOUT T max's.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Performance, yeah the one THING i like about t mac
is that he is.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Coachable this guy is a.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Sponge he wants to learn and you've kind of seen
that growth in him so. Far so when he gets
an opportunity to just go out there and make, Plays
i'm on the edge of my. Seat i'm excited about
what could be From tyloroy, McMillan just because you watch
a guy that comes, out you, know preseason, early doesn't
get his.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Head quite around on the ball he.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Misses that happens faster down in the red Zone game
ONE nfl FIRST nfl catch eleven, Yards that head snaps,
around he knows that ball is coming before he comes
out of the. Break great sign that a guy is
just learning how to play the game on the. Run
big expectations for the top.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Pick so after game one of HIS nfl, career have
you guys adjusted what you think his stock line will
look like by the end of the.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Season, uh not, really Because i'm trying to remember WHAT
i rejected for. HIM i THINK i, SAID i think
you were nine, Hundred, yeah something like. That so, Yeah
i'm not going to adjust that right now Because i'm
interested Until Jalen kocher returns to this lineup to see
what the production looks like because he is the de
(15:58):
facto number one play and teams are going to be
able to focus on that a little bit more. Now
AS i, said he's going to get the other team's best,
corner he's going to get the coverage rolling to. Him
the target of TEAMS i as far as stopping The
Carolina panthers passing attack is going to start With tetoroa,
McMillan and So i'm gonna be interested to see how
he adjusted that and how the team adjusted. That i've
(16:21):
adjusted it a little, bit partly because of the injuries
and partly because of what he's able to do In week. One,
Yeah i'm going up for. Sure i'm going a, THOUSAND
i really, am AND i would love to see. IT i,
think who else are you throwing to if you don't
Have Jalen kocher out. There was looking at a couple
of the stats WHERE i don't want to get into
the crazy nerd boy stats that are out there that
support what teamac did Against, jacksonville but also it's supported
(16:44):
How bryce should be throwing him the ball a lot.
MORE i think The panthers are going to tap into
that because who else are you going to throw to?
It just it really is a lot of me believing
in T. MAC a lot of it is he's just
clearly the most talented wide receiver you have out there right.
Now so even if you have force feed, him even
if you have to be creative and how you're going
to Move temac, around maybe you put him in the
(17:04):
slot a little bit more so to free up some
other guys on the, outside and then they have to
calculate for. That just the chess game that's back and.
FORTH i used to say one hundred and fifteen. TARGETS
i was looking at that When feelin And coker we're
still healthy and on the. TEAM i THINK i think
T mac Gets i'll go up to one FOR i
think we're getting up there to some pretty high volume.
(17:25):
Stuff the only thing that has me a little wary
of those types of numbers is do The panthers somehow get?
Leads shocker like winning games and getting leads and whatnot
and then running the football a little bit. More but even,
SO i just think T mac is going to be
a target monster because there's not anybody else to throw.
To coker is going to be a part of the.
EQUATION i think he's going to get a lot of
(17:47):
passes his way, also so that also is another part
of the. Calculation give me one hundred and forty, targets
give me a thousand. Yards, Yeah i'm raising up the
volume for, him all. Right hell?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah and speaking of you saying that there's no one
else to throw, To connor or from The Monday Morning
Quarterback pod said that he's more concerned About xcel than
he is About Bryce.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Young are you worried about the Way bryce played a?
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Little i'm more worried about the way that some of
the other wideouts on that, roster Like Xavior, legatt is
getting three out of seven targets and is not getting
his foot down in certain. Situations i'm more worried about,
that If i'm being.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Honest So colin AND i have just, Yeah colin AND
i have been saying this is these four weeks Without
cocher now down to, three pretty darn, important you would,
say For XL's career and what he's gonna what his
role is going to be After coker. Returns how concerned
are you guys that you know a guy Like xcel
doesn't even get a contract extension?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Here uh, YEAH i MEAN i think that's a possibility
at this point what we've. SEEN i, mean because the thing,
is we can go to the obvious stuff of what
he didn't do On, sunday but the thing is the,
mentality And i'm not even going to go to the
off the field. Stuff it's the fact that the narrative
for him was coming into this season with the year
(19:05):
in which he felt like was a disappointment as a
first Round it was some of the big drops that
he had and things of that. Nature so you knew
the spotlight was on. You you knew all eyes were on.
You you knew people were waiting to see what you
were going to. Do and that's WHERE i bring the
whole professionalism point into.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It the.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Pros pros they know what they need to work on
in their, game and they're going to come back with
a renewed. Vigor they're going to come back with improvements
in their. Game we saw none From, excel AND i
think that is the most disheartening part is that you
knew what people were saying about.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
You you knew what was being and it's.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Not even about necessarily what people were saying about. You
you knew as a player that you could look in
and see where the flaws in your game, were what
you needed to improve to go from year one to
a big improvement in year two as a wide. Receiver
and then you come out and you're doing one on
one stuff that you're failing at as far as keeping
(19:59):
your feeding, bound, blocking playing hard at least if you're
not going to be able to register some, catches get
out there and block your tail off your two hundred
and twenty plus, pounds you should be an asset in
the run. Game and SO i think that's the biggest
thing is that you didn't come in with the mentality
That i'm coming to dominate in my second, season because
(20:20):
it didn't look like a kid who wants to come
out and dominate in you.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Two that's an. Issue not blocking is an. Issue the
other issue IS i just don't know if he's capable
of being fluid and working on some of the things
or being successful at some of the things THAT i
see as outright. FLAWS i don't know if it's ever
going to be SOMETHING i watch With, excel where he's
just able to plant his foot in the ground create
(20:45):
a whole bunch of separation with whatever route he, decided
whatever route he's supposed to. Run when he does have
the football in his, hand can he juke you out
of your? Shoes or is it just going to be
all speed and? Power and that's how he? Wins and
if you mitigate, that he can't win any other. One
how many counters do you? Have? It just as you've
mentioned a million, times AND i totally, agree it doesn't look.
(21:06):
Fast he is, FAST i know the forty. TIMES i get,
that but he doesn't look, fast and he doesn't look
sidelined to sideline. Fast it's the agility THAT i think is.
Lacking and if you don't have all that much agility
and they mitigate the straight line, SPEED i just don't
know how else you can. Win but, see the thing
is is that there have been so MANY nfl players
that have made great, careers Made hall Of fame careers
(21:27):
off being guys that weren't necessarily speed. Merchants you could
look at A Chris. Carter you can even go look
at the kid who played, Here ed, McCaffrey christian's. Daddy,
well those are, LIKE i don't that's my point, THOUGH
i Think excel doesn't have the agility that those guys.
Are stee what you're.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Saying BUT i think that, still if you are truly
dedicated to your craft and you really really work at,
it there are, ways and even if it's not necessarily
him becoming a row, guy but there are ways that
he can work on his game to be able To,
okay because like well Say muhammad had good, quickness but
you wouldn't say that he would juke you out of your.
(22:04):
Shoes But moose found a way to get open because
he was. Physical he would use his physicality to do.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
That so if your, excel you can use something you
got either for three nine, speed which we don't say
you necessarily play with all the. Time, okay, well maybe
you're lacking that subtle quickness to be able to get.
Off but then after, that can you be a?
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Brute can you be a brute and just use your
physicality to get?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Open, well, Yeah i'm with. YOU i Think i'm not
upset with. You i'm just that in. General, yeah, NO
i don't think you. ARE i think what's happening With. Excel,
YEAH i understand what you're saying as. WELL i think With,
excel for, me there's too much thinking going on and
he just doesn't know how to play right. Now and
if you do catch the, football that's a. Priority because
remember last year there were ways where he was winning,
(22:48):
downfield he was, Open brice was Hitting excel. Downfield, okay
so you took care of all that, stuff and then
what would. Happen you would drop the. Football so even
if you were getting, open you weren't hauling in the,
catch and that's something that brings you. Down so now
if you're not hauling in those passes downfield because you got,
open you did all that. Stuff, Cool now you're not catching. It,
now how do you get open within five yards ten
(23:09):
yards past the line of? Scrimmage but now you're not
keeping it in. Bounds there's the block play that's going.
Around there's one clip Of excel where he just falls like.
That it's too much. THINKING i know you can put
one foot in front of the. OTHER i know you
can do, that BUT i don't think he has enough
agility to get pushed off of his spot at the
line of. Scrimmage but he's thinking about route, running so
(23:30):
now he's not anchoring pushing back into the. CORNERBACK i
think there's too much stuff going, on, man that's WHAT i. Think,
yeah that's WHAT i think With, excel AND i hope
he's able to figure it, out, MAN i really. DO
i hope he's able to figure it. Out last thing
ABOUT xcel in terms of targets and. Stuff getting back
to What Bryce young might. Do at some point you
stop trusting, him, Right, yeah but you, know, yeah you're.
(23:53):
Right if he's, open do you double hitch because you
SEE xl as the one that you're trying to throw
to the? Imazing if the covers dictated he's, open you
have to keep doing it until the coaches take him
off the. Field if he's the guy that's, open if
he's where the read should, go you got to throw
it to. Him, Yeah like he's just he's. Stiff if
he is, OPEN i don't trust him catching the football right.
(24:14):
NOW i hope he shuts me up all sorts of different.
WAYS i would love to see it Because i'm pulling for, Him,
YEAH i really. Am it's just we haven't seen any
evidence because then people are gonna, say, See bryce is so.
Trash look at. Him he doesn't know what he's. Doing
it's going to be up to us to just wade
through all of the trash that people are going to throw.
Out there are there are reasons to uh Say bryce
(24:37):
was bad in game. One there are plenty of. Them
there was a good pass To excel that Was excel's.
Fault got to get the foot. Down that's not On.
Bryce what else you? Got all, right we'll actually speaking Of.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Bryce one of his you, know one of his apologies
on the national media has always Been Dan, Orlovsky and
here's what he had to say about His week one
performance against The.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Jaguars All, right my thoughts On Bryce young from week?
Speaker 7 (25:01):
One everyone Knows i'm a big fan Of.
Speaker 8 (25:03):
Bryce still believe In bryce week, one.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
It looks like he's living in a world of trying
to have some type of structure within his drops while
also allowing the kind of unstructured drop he's had, before
of the almost the hop or the gather or the skip.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Backwards AND i think it led to some, missus some
lack of. Timing usually he's so good anticipating, throws and
that did not show itself in week.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
One so would you be more concerned About, bryce kind
of reverting back to having problems with the, fundamentals are
are you more concerned With bryce or are you more
concerned that our, quarterback Whisper Dave canals hasn't quite got
even the fundamentals quite situated already.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
With oh, yeah, no that's not his, fault, man because
it's human.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Nature you can practice a technique all day, long but
it's going to take discipline from the. Player we talked
about When Dave canals first got, here that's what he.
Did he started Fixing bryce from the feet, up and
so you can coach a guy to do that stuff
all day. Long but as they, say when the bullets are,
flying when you get out there and there's two hundred
and ninety pound that's coming at your head and you
have to make a, decision and that's in two and
(26:14):
a half, seconds you're not going to necessarily be thinking
about all those drills and all those things that you.
Did so, yeah, NAH i don't put any of that
on the. Coach when you talk fundamentals and things like,
that it comes down to the discipline of the.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Player it does come down to the discipline of the.
Player it also just comes down to playing as many
reps as. Possible one thing about my tweet that people
missed the mark on WHEN i said that this was
the worst Game bryce has played since coming back to
the starting. LINEUP i don't think that this was a
worst game compared to the two games that he played
to start last. Season those were by far worse in my. Opinion,
(26:47):
ALSO i don't think that game was as bad as
pretty much every single contest THAT i saw his rookie.
Year the only game THAT i think might have been
better than this first one Was Green, bay and that's.
AMAZING i just that is to illustrate the kind of
gap that is between What bryce showed us his rookie
season in the first two starts of twenty twenty four
(27:08):
compared to WHAT i still consider a bad game in
twenty twenty. Five so all that being, said what you
can be comforted by IS i actually wasn't reminded AFTER
i told you On, MONDAY i was reminded of all
this bad stuff in Recent panthers. HISTORY i wasn't reminded
Of bryce being scared in the. Pocket he wasn't. Scared
he was scared in the pocket despite good. Protection the
(27:29):
first two starts of twenty twenty. Four he wasn't scared
in the pocket In. Jacksonville it might have changed his,
mechanics but he didn't look. Down he wasn't watching edge
rusher's you, know blow right by their tackles and you,
know get into the pocket or anything like. THAT i
didn't see those types of. Issues what ISSUES i saw
was some, misses some bad decision making in some, aspects
(27:51):
but it wasn't uncombackable from. LIKE i think he could bounce.
Back in, FACT i think he will bounce back Against
arizona and play quite. WELL i was scared to death
every single GAME i watched From bryce in the second
half of his rookie, season and especially after those first two.
Starts i'm not scared to death Of bryce going into week,
two all, Right.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
And the last ONE i have for. YOU i don't
know if you guys remember the Name Kellen. Blair he
was the guy who's audio played where he came up
with the football.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Festivals oh, wow, OKAY i forgot about. That, yes NOW
i know he.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Had another banger of an. Idea, okay So i'm gonna
play this clip and Then i'm gonna ask you a.
Question it's kind of a spin off of.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
This the same way football teams all have a kicker
that comes out and does his little soccer. Kick soccer
teams need to have One american football player and if
the game ends seero to, zero each team sends out
their football player and they do An oklahoma drill at
midfield and that's how you decide the.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Winner so obviously that's. Ridiculous but my QUESTION i have
for you, is in, sports what's an overtime rule or
way that it's decided that you guys would.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Change oh, god, well what about the golden at? Bat
if you have a tie ball game In Major League,
baseball at the end of let's say ten or eleven,
innings you send up one batter from your team for
a home run, derby and you see how many dingers
they hit and whoever hits albums about to go with that.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
One because a lot of the other SPORTS i don't
have any issues with their, OVERTIME.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I guess it's not the golden at. Bat that's something.
Different the golden at bat is at any, time any
time in the, game whatever the, situation you can throw
up your best hitter if he's in the dugout still
and then if there's you, know if the situation calls for,
it you can put your best hitter up. THERE i
changed my. MIND i go.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
BACK i changed my. MIND i would put college rules
in THE nfl for.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Overtime oh, NO i hate college hope BECAUSE i think
THAT nfl can be so long and born and drawn
out and then we can get a draw, sometimes and
SO i. WOULD i would probably do, it but maybe
put the ball back a little. Further my issue WITH
nfl overtime is when they were trying to figure out
ways to have games not ending draws as much they
(29:58):
what they, do they decide to cut down the overtime
period from fifteen to. Ten and it was a little
bit because of player. Safety. Man, Look i'm with keeping
players safe as much as. Possible you're telling me in,
overtime which probably happens for a, team like how many
overtime games do you think the team that plays the
most overtime game plays probably like? Three get, right, right, right, right,
(30:20):
Right so now you're talking about fifteen minutes of football
that you've taken off of the clock for these players
to possibly be. Safe and by the, way those extra
fifteen or those extra fifteen. Minutes maybe it's just one
side of the ball that's playing in the you, know
you start to split that in. Half, ANYWAYS i hated
when they took the extra five minutes off because now
you just have a team that goes out there on one.
(30:42):
Drive they're milking the clock down to maybe one minute
in a real long. Drive and now as we're trying
to make it fair for both the offense and the,
defense what you've done is you've given the team that
receives the kickoff a way bigger. ADVANTAGE I i college.
RULES i can't stand think he completely changes the dynamic of.
Football it's, FUN i will, say it's, fun but there's
(31:06):
NO i know you take over time win For. CHARLOTTE i.
WOULD i would do a lot of things for an
overtime win For. CHARLOTTE i would do a lot of,
things things THAT i can't really share on. AIR i,
MIGHT i might break a couple of. RULES i would
say that It's Weston walker finishing up with the live.
Wire thanks To shrop for playing some. Sound we got
