Speaker 1 (00:00):
Going well for them. They didn't lose last week, but
it's because they had a bye week and so we
got a reprieve from some of the losing And I
loved him, Albin. I think he's the right man for
the job. Unfortunately, they have suffered a ton of injuries
over there and it hasn't stopped Hunter Bailey on Twitter,
who we have in just a moment. You can follow
him on Twitter at Hunter Underscore Bailey forty five. He
(00:20):
writes for the Charlotte Observer. Just tweeted out that Connor
Harrell Within the last twenty four hours, he tweeted out
that he's out for the year. Starting quarterback, Connor Harele
he's gone and my guy, our guy, Henry Rutledge running
back out for the season. Unfortunate injuries for two guys
that we're going to be big parts of this football team.
Let's bring that man on again. Hunter Bailey also host
(00:42):
of the Highway forty nine podcast. Are you able to
find some positives in your life covering the Charlotte forty
nine ers the way you do, Hunter, And if so,
where are those positives coming from?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Looks, man, I'm not gonna lie be any Eagles fan
as hell sometimes, but it's been good lately, So that's
the biggest one right now.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Football related, Yeah, it's unfortunate with Connor Harold who looked
good in the last game that he played and then
goes down with that injury after running out of bounds.
What does the Connor Harrold injury for the season mean
for this squad? And how much belief do you have
in Grayson Loftis Hunter, Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
So Man, I'll be the first to admit, like before
the season, I said, I thought, I guess I was
shocked that that Connor Harrel beat out Grayson Loftus for
the job, but then kind of seeing Loftus fill in
and garbage time opportunities against North Carolina and then coming
in midway through the second quarter against Rice, you can
see the nine and eight difference between Harrold and Loftus,
(01:44):
and I think just Harold's ability to break the pocket,
scramble and extend plays. I mean the play he gets
hurt on is third and eighteen to design quarterback run,
good play call from Todd Fitch to OC except nineteen
yards and goes goes down. Man and Tim, I've been
woodn't disclosed the specific injury. I believe it is Aco,
(02:05):
so you could see. I mean, obviously a huge loss
for them. Charlotte's offense basically just disappears in the second
half of that game. They go in to the half,
it's fourteen to nine. In the third quarter of their
offenseest five yards loftus just He's been relatively turnover prone
through a couple of just inexcusable passes in the North
Carolina game. I thought he looked a little better against Rice,
(02:26):
and I think the bye week comes out a good
time to let him get those reps. But honestly, when
I look at the offense, now no one, you're not
getting Henry Rutlis back, Jade Mcallen's out for the year.
You're gonna need these guys like EJ. Mason, Sean Brown,
Jada Nicholas to play out of their minds because the
offensive line plays been subpart and now you're missing two
of those most explosive players at quarterback and the running
(02:49):
back man. It's a tough spot.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, Are we on one win watch at this point
with some of the injuries we've suffered.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, I think so. And it's when I look at
actually calculated the other day, like how many games I've
covered the wins and loss over this and the past.
The past three years have been tough on that front,
and I think, I mean, a one win season would
be the worst that I've covered for the team. When
I look at the schedule, Army feels like a potential
(03:17):
winnable game, although it's on the road, and then Temple
is really the only other one I can see. But
knowing they're going to South Florida Friday night, twenty seven
point dogs there, They've got North Texas, one of the
hottest teams in the league, in a couple of weeks
at home, They're going to Georgia, They're going to Tulane.
I look at that ECU game, is you know, East
(03:39):
you looks all right this year they probably are the
better team, but Charlotte undefeated against them, so you're hoping
that they continue that streak from Biff Pogi to Tim Alvins.
So when I look at it, man, it doesn't look
great that there are some spots where I think that
they could maybe just make the games muddy, like win
a low scoring game. I think that's pretty much the
route to victory.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Right now just see Georgia Luz Like, yeah, Hana, what
are some of the positive that you've taken away from
this team that it's been so much bad?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
But are there any positives that you've seen?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, I think, I mean when I look at the roster,
I know this isn't necessarily like the final product ten
Obn wanted talent wise, but when you start looking to
the future recruiting that he's doing in the next year's class,
I think, as Walker Walker said, I mean, I think
there's still belief until ten Obn, like when you look
at his time at Ohio, even even in his jobs prior,
(04:36):
like it's the first year has always been a struggle.
The turnaround happens year two, year three. I think you're
just kind of on the rock, like on that journey
right now. Positive specifically, I think, like I said, the
receiver room kind of gives you some hope. They threw
Sean Brown the ball multiple times in the same game,
which kind of a revelation here this season, I think
(04:56):
they figured out that good things happen when number eight
has the I think that's one of the biggest positives.
And then man, I really like Rod Ganey Junior another
one of the tailbacks. He's kind of taken over that
spot with c. J. Stokes having fumblin issues, Henry Rotich
being sidelined, and Rod came up a little gumpy at
the end of that last game. So hoping he's back.
But I think some of the skill positions there is
(05:17):
talent there. I think it's like I say, the O
line's got to find a way to keep off this upright.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Freddy Hunter Bailey joining us here on Weston Walker Sports
Radio ninety two seven WFNZ. No, he's back, Hunter Bailey.
He's still with us again on Weston Walker ninety two
to seven FM. So Hunter here, who we are talking
about all these issues, man, and just trying to figure
out exactly where they can get a win some of
(05:44):
the bright spots. What do you think about the coordinator
play this year or the coordinator strategy with what the
Charlotte forty nine ers have done, Like, is there any
way to win on the margins with the talent at
hand or lack thereof? Well, what are some of the
things they can do to maybe manufacture some points?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, when I look at the offense, I think the
Mond Myth game. You look at it as a tailor
going against an FCS defense that was given up, you know,
thirty plus a game that was a get right game
for them. They score a ton of points win the
game with forty two. I think washing some of the
film from AFT State and the North Carolina games, some
(06:22):
of the play calling on offense will literally just make
your head hurt. I think we saw a little bit
of it and Rice it was like they were leaning
into the idea of being kind of that dual threat
offense with Harold and he saw him get double digit
carries and it's Monmouth. It was trending that direction against right,
So it was like the red zone struggles are interesting
and you know that there's spending extended periods of time
(06:45):
working on red zone. Like I say, with Todd Fitch,
he's been successful in the past, and I think he's
gonna Todd Fitch's ideal offensive scheme is to have that
pro style quarterback. I think Tim Alvin was more of
kind of marrying the run game with the pass with
a quarterback. So he's been successful in the pass at
Ohio with dual threat guys running quarterbacks. I'm interested to
(07:07):
see what they do. I want to see more of
the stream game. I mentioned Dainy earlier. Stokes let the
tight ends get involved in the string game and then
get David Nicholas the ball, so they have some options
on the offense the defensive side, then they're going to
have to find ways to stop the bleeding. Like right,
they've been beaten in interesting ways like Rice running this
(07:27):
odd kind of spread option offense. Charlotte was. I mean
watching the film, they're in most of these run gaps.
The problem is is Rice is just killing them with
these cutback lanes they're over pursuing. I think you'll hope
to get that cleaned up this week because you know
South Florida is going to spread the field, have their
receivers as close to the sideline as possible, and make
(07:48):
Charlotte work. So what I've taken for this game specific
Byron Brown, tell Florida's quarterback he's not scared to pull
the ball down and run. I think Charlotte will five
wouldn't be shocked if that someone like Shaye Taylor linebacker
and really just having like discipline rushing lanes from this
front Foard, we haven't really seen them generate any pressure
nor turnovers. Man they haven't forced a turnover in fifteen
(08:10):
quarters of football, so that's got to be priority number
one for the defense. Take the ball away, keep the
quarterback in the pocket. They can beat you over top.
So the coordinators definitely can find ways to ease these
margins of talent. But I think it's going to be
tough starting Friday for sure.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
And so Hanah, I was going to ask you what's
it been looking like at the games as far as
just recruiting for Tim Albin in year one. Are they
on the trail of some guys that you feel like
could help things or have there been plenty of you know,
I guess top level for a Charlotte coming to these games.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, the recruiting section for the home games has been apt.
I think it's sold out for the recruiting section for
the three games of Richardson Stadium, there were a ton
at Bank of America with that state. I think the
biggest thing, what I mentioned earlier that match with ECU
later in the year, is it's gonna be tough to
go zero to three against N state schools this year
(09:06):
and then say, hey, Charlotte's the place for you. I mean, honestly,
first couple games of the season that North Carolina not
state game. If I'm the recruiting staff I'm pointing at
every offensive recruit and saying, we need you. Here's why
I come help build this program. Alvin has the track
record to get you here, develop you, and then whether
(09:28):
that's developing you for your next top in college or
getting you ready to go to the NFL. I think
that's got to be the mindset for Charlotte moving forward,
because I mean, guys, the American Conference is good this year.
Tim I haven't said it today. There's a couple of
teams that should be ranked. South Florida, Tulane, North Texas,
all those teams around the schedule. So it's like I say,
it's a gaunlet the rest of the way. But looking forward,
(09:50):
you have to be able to find ways to win
these in state recruiting battles, keep Charlotte guys in Charlotte
and land some of that top talent that's literally right
here in the backyard.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Yeah, we saw South this year. They've beaten two ranked
teams and they go down. They lose bad to Miami,
but we know that this team. A lot of people
were saying once they get the conference play, They're going
to be a juggernaut. What worries you the most about
this South Florida matchup?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, Like I say, their ability to score points baths
and then bunches and taking the ball away. Alex delash
is honestly just one of the best minds in the
conference when it comes to a coach. Byron Brown, a
Raleigh kid, just stud He's going to be able to
spread the ball out and he can could take it.
He'll run you over too, West. He's he's not a
(10:35):
quarterback that's shining away.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
From He's a big cat too. About two thirty.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah, and then you're looking in the backfield Cartavias Norton,
former forty nine er. You know he wants to have
a big dig against his old school. So when I
look at this game and it's can you find ways
to steal points on special teams? We saw a guy
like Derek Eally have a couple of big kick returns
against Mandness. Can not get going and can you finish
(11:01):
when you play in plus territory? I mean fifty percent
of their snaps against Rice, we're in plus territory and
they have, you know, seventeen points to show for it.
It's can you finish drives? Can you find ways to win?
Because I gotta say, talent level is going to be evident,
talent gap is going to be evident Friday nights. So
(11:22):
can you find ways to steal points? Make them kick
field goals and find the end zone?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Last question, Hunter Henry Rutledge. With him being out for
the year, does that mean his Charlotte career is over
as well as his college career after that season ending injury.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I believe.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
So.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
We asked him in the preseason if it was his
last year. He said yeah, And that's tough, man, because
he's one of like the all time good guys covering
this team like he's waited for his opportunity. You guys,
I mean I listened to the interview with Chris Reynolds
on the show like before the season, before the game,
he's saying, get this guy the rock. I mean, it
goes back to twenty twenty two. He's catching touchdowns and
(11:59):
I'm checking my out notes like who is this guy?
And now it's to the point where criminally underused in
Mike Miller's offense under a bit pogi, You're thinking, Okay,
this is his opportunity this year dealing with this injury.
In the preseason Week two against North Carolina, you see
him get in the game, big run, like his first
touch of the year, and then that's it, and it's,
(12:21):
like I say, all time. Good dude came on our
show front of the podcast. He's definitely hurt for someone
like him, Guys like Johnny King, guys like Sean Brown
that have stuck it out for two three coaches here
at Charlotte and like I say, the winning just hasn't
been there for him.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, one of the all time ifs of this team,
the biggest if if people just used him correctly, if
he was out there on the field, I think Henry
Rutledge could have left a bigger mark with this team.
But unfortunately is going to be out for the season
after the injury that he suffered and had been dattling
injuries really in this entire year. Hunter Bailey, host of

Speaker 4 (13:10):
I mean, if they are able to beat South Florida,
it's gonna be a joyous the case, you're gonna have
to bring out some champagne.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
We appreciate it. Hunter, thanks again.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, so you did your fellows talk. He'll soon
Going well for them. They didn't lose last week, but

Yeah, and then you're looking in the backfield Cartavias Norton,
former forty nine er. You know he wants to have

look at this game and it's can you find ways

like Derek Eally have a couple of big kick returns
against Mandness. Can not get going and can you finish
(11:01):

Last question, Hunter Henry Rutledge. With him being out for
the year, does that mean his Charlotte career is over
as well as his college career after that season ending injury.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I believe.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
So.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
We asked him in the preseason if it was his
last year. He said yeah, And that's tough, man, because
he's one of like the all time good guys covering
this team like he's waited for his opportunity. You guys,
I mean I listened to the interview with Chris Reynolds
on the show like before the season, before the game,
he's saying, get this guy the rock. I mean, it
goes back to twenty twenty two. He's catching touchdowns and
(11:59):
I'm checking my out notes like who is this guy?
And now it's to the point where criminally underused in
Mike Miller's offense under a bit pogi, You're thinking, Okay,
this is his opportunity this year dealing with this injury.
In the preseason Week two against North Carolina, you see
him get in the game, big run, like his first
touch of the year, and then that's it, and it's,
(12:21):
like I say, all time. Good dude came on our
show front of the podcast. He's definitely hurt for someone
like him, Guys like Johnny King, guys like Sean Brown
that have stuck it out for two three coaches here
at Charlotte and like I say, the winning just hasn't
been there for him.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, one of the all time ifs of this team,
the biggest if if people just used him correctly, if
he was out there on the field, I think Henry
Rutledge could have left a bigger mark with this team.
But unfortunately is going to be out for the season
after the injury that he suffered and had been dattling
injuries really in this entire year. Hunter Bailey, host of
the Highway forty nine podcast right about the Charlotte forty

Speaker 4 (13:10):
I mean, if they are able to beat South Florida,
it's gonna be a joyous the case, you're gonna have
to bring out some champagne.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
