Speaker 1 (00:02):
Jordan and Jake. I'll go good.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I'm excited, ready to go.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
The bump stops. He throws at a crossfield.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Guess who, George Gross?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Here are you? Panther Hall of Honor members Jordan Gross
and Jake Delome.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Jake, it's week ten. It's November. I mean it's been
November for a few days, but it's this is the
first podcast in November and it's week ten, and seriously,
where is the time going?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And it will continue to go.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Jordan, it's amazing training camp, like it takes forever in
preseason and then you have week one and the next
thing you know, it's like, oh my goodness, it's goal
time and it just it doesn't stop. And I felt
that way as a player right all the off season
and the lifting of the weights and running, and then
once it gets going, it's just like it's never it
(00:56):
just doesn't stop. And then you wake up and it's like,
oh my gosh, the season's over.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
You never lifted weights. No I did.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I did, And you know that you did like you had.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
A thigh master and like subduing step aerobics in the corner.
That's what you did.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
No, Hey, I tried to keep weight on. Man, it's
so hard for I know, for me to keep wait
on during the season. That was the most difficult thing.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I'm feeling like a realist champ because we have a
young son still around and Boone wanted to decorate outside
of the house for Halloween. Dana Alex my wife Alex,
to do like a fall decoration where you got you know,
pumpkins and gordons and whatnot, so it carries over. But
some of the neighbors and out here get a little
(01:42):
crazy with all the decoration, like giant skeletons and animatronics
and all this stuff for Halloween. Jokes on them because
Sunday they had to put all that stuff away. I
didn't have to.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Exactly right now, my question is this, if you wouldn't
be a high school football coach in the middle of
the season, would you have done more.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I don't think so. I don't think so. I think
just the fall. I think we're onto something with the
fall decoration, and it carries all the way through to
Hell or to Thanksgiving. Plus, when you have pigs, one
of the best things is throwing the pigs the decomposing pumpkins,
and they go hog wild on those things.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
No pun intended.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
No, I meant a pun, I meant the Okay, okay, okay, sure.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
The pun was intended. Nike, do you grow a mustache
for November? November has been the men's health awareness month
for many many years to focus in on things like
prostate cancer, tisticular cancer, mental health, suicide prevention. And one
of the main things that people do is grow a mustache.
(02:47):
So I want to know, are you on board, Jordan?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I am not.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I have heard about the no shape November. I've had
some friends that have partaken in it. That's not me,
And I'm not so sure I can grow a beer.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, what what happened? I was thinking about this and
I know you've got a smooth face always. If you
didn't shave for a whole month, what's the pattern looking
like on your face?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
That's a great question.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I think splotchy would be a word that we could
use for I think splotchy isn't isn't.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
A male makeup? Interesting? How all the varieties of facial
hair that we get to experience in different people. You know,
I've got two coaches on my coaching staff that have full,
zzy top beards. Really like like mid chest linked Jake,
that's a lot of grooming, right, I agree. And they
(03:38):
both have minimal hair up top, like one's got a
full head of hair, but Kep keeps it crop. The
other guy's bald. But that's a lot of maintenance. I'm
I mean it's like kind of having like a term
in your hair, like for a lady. Is that a thing? Still?
I don't even know, I guess.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But what about eating, I just think it's like it's gross,
I mean, food particles and all that falling.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
You know, you have to think that though, because you
have splotchy face hair. It's like there's no option for you.
So it's so foreign that you don't even have an
you know, you can't even fathom it, Jake, No, I cannot.
I cannot. My wife was gone also something to bring up.
My wife was gone for a few days on a
little girl's trip. I was going to ask you, I've
(04:23):
got I'm not. I actually enjoy cooking. I wouldn't call
it like I'm not like a fancy cook, but we're surviving.
I go, I can a variety of proteins and some
vegetables and maybe a carb or a starch. I can
get it done. What was your go to when Carrie
was out of town if you had to feed the
girls and keep them alive.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I was always big on salmon, sweet potatoes, salad, you know,
some green beans, something like that. Are grilling some pork chops,
I could, you know, make it some mac and cheese,
you know, something like that, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I could.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I feel pretty good about that.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You're not doing like a heavy recipe type of meal
when you're in charge. No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
And I'm very spoiled.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
We we're We eat at home often and we we
eat well, we eat right, you know. And my wife
loves to cook, is a great cook, enjoys cooking. So
I I like to think I have gourmet meals a
decent amount. Matter of fact, I have had to share
a recipe recently with one Luke Keighley.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Okay, yeah, he's a cooker.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
He likes to cook. He likes to cook, and it's
it's odd how he keeps that awesome bod.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
There's no doubt I heat tuna dish that we do.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And I had to forward David Langton the recipe for
his lovely wife who she wanted to know what the
sauce was and things like that. So yeah, we're we're
I'm a food guy, Jordan.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Why everybody get red hot on your ah tuna recipe
rebragging it up in the booth or something.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, because I showed a picture and it's just so good,
and and and and Tracy was like, ooh, you need
to send me that.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Luke's like, yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
You know so well, you might as well walk us
through the recipe, just you know, a synopsis, right, I
got time, I got time, very simple, little a tuna
season sesame seeds on top, I mean medium rare, and
then a bowl of jasmine rice in the middle, and
if you can decide, you can put some zucchini in it,
some corn, cucumbers and cut up and a mommy if
(06:26):
you want, all kind of different.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
So it's like a bowl, right, and then you kind
of put the old tuna right on top. And there's
a little sauce made with like some like a little
pain syrup in it, a little vinegar, white wine, like
little vinegar deal with some sesame in it. Just it's
a nice, healthy, good dish. Some corn if you like
corn in there, you can.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Put your corn twice you must be. You're all in
on the I love porn.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Big corn gone, yes, yes, on the cob.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
You throw the whole cob in there.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You can go, well, well, we will do that.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
If we have corn on the cob, or especially left over,
then we'll just kind of slice it the nibblets slice
it off, but put it in. Had corn on the
cob last night, by the way, just just being you
brought it ups a.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Little sticky thing on the end, like a little kid.
They're like they look like a pig or something. One
in the head. The other ends of the butt.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Had that growing up.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
No, Jordan, I like to I like to get you know, dirty,
you know, I want to feel the juice all them
the hands and things like that.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Are you typewriter side to side or is it like
we're going vertical and we're rolling and then we.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, I've never discussed my corn eating ever in my life.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I didn't think we talk about it today.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
It is like our sixth season or seven. I mean,
we're running out of stuff to talk about.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, I'm a typewriter, Jordan. I am a typewriter, left
to right, ding back over, you go.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Absolutely, I'm crazy. Sometimes sometimes I go left to right.
Then I'll go up and go back right to left.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Then, Jake, you just you never ceased to amaze me. Man,
all the different shades of Jake Delone. Uh. The Panthers
got victory Monday this week, first of the season. I
just want to take a moment and celebrate the victory
Monday and just try to explain why that's so awesome. Jake.
So what Victory Monday is an NFL schedule play on Sunday,
(08:16):
typically normal Monday. You come in, you lift, you watch
film as you have a team meeting, and if you win,
you go over them good, bad and ugly or whatever
they give out some maybe a game ball type of thing.
If you win, if you lose, you get told you
know everything we did wrong. Then you go and you
watch film as an offense or as a position groups
(08:37):
a long day. Victory Monday is all I need you
guys to do is come in, get your lift, watch
film as a group, and then we'll see you Wednesday.
Tuesday being kind of an off day, you know, not
meeting with the coaches as they prepare. Victory Monday was
so fantastic, Jake that I when we lived in Charlotte,
I had a surfboat and I had victory Monday painted
(09:00):
on the back of it because it was my favorite
thing in the world.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I did not know that victory Monday is always great
because you knew it was after one a win, or
especially a big win, you know, especially maybe something on
the road or just a big old win that was great.
But you had to have the responsibility to come in.
But it's something about coming in and getting your lift
on your own right, getting your lift. You still lift
in the weighting room with the shrimp coach, but like
(09:25):
the position meeting, just with your group, everybody's in a
good mood. There's just something about that. I don't know
it's always It's probably just because it's a win. But
I thought it was interesting what Canalis said. He met
with the leadership group last week. He did it after
week four, and he did it again after week eight,
and he said, Hey, just to let y'all know, from
(09:45):
here on out, we win a game, it'll be victory Monday.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
And that's that carrot that dangles out for the players.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It's not like they're gonna try, Oh, let's let's study
a little more this week to have victory Monday. But
it's just once you get into that routine of the
season and everyone knows, I've got to keep my body
in the best shape possible, and you start to settle
in on what we're doing offensively and defensively, and you
just kind of develop. You become that team along that way,
(10:11):
and the best teams are the ones that hold each
other are accountable. Whereas coaches don't mind giving you the
victory Monday because you know you're going to come in,
you know, as a position group. I'm assuming you are
rying to little led the offensive meetings and you discuss Yes,
the good you laughed and everything, but the ugly you
have to discuss it even after a win.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Hey, we can't do this, so let's give them the
same page here.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
No, And then you just knew that the staff trusted you.
That's the thing, like, hey, we've made it to a
place in our relationship, as you said, where they know
you're going to come in and watch the film and
it gives you just some freedom, like maybe now I
could take my kids and drop them off at school
or something because it's not an assigned time. But now
I'm so happy for the team off the thirteen to
six team that was an odd way of saying that
(10:54):
sixteen thirteen win with the game winning field goal. Before
we get into the game, Jake, what do you think
of the Packers uniforms with the fancy leather looking helmet.
I was a little bit manh.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, I thought it was okay.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
And then but when you see it up close, like
when I look at the TV real quick and you
would look at the helmet, it was.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Like, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
You know how they wrapped it and things like that,
but you know, they have such an iconic, beautiful uniform
that you know, to me, Green Bay looks like the
Green Bay in my mind. Yeah, I understand you want
to do some of these throwbacks, but I kind of
like traditional.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
First thing. I gotta say, right up, the bat is
to the O line and the offense in general. The
past protection was phenomenal. Micah Parsons was first time in
his career at zero pressures. Icky faced him a bunch
of times. I think I read online he had nine
to one on ones against him and to get zero
pressures for Micah Parsons, that's just a fantastic job. Super
(11:52):
impressed with that young man. As he continues to grow
and develop and just in general, great game plan. Bryce
did a nice job getting that ball out and it
was gusty, Jake, gusty wins, which I know you've had
experience with that's hard to throw in. How did that?
What'd you think watching that game?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Well, I thought it was listen, so I didn't call
it right.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
So I'm watching every segment of it, and I have
I'm listening to the broadcast on one shoulder where.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I hold my cell phone.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
But I also wanted to hear Greg Olsen because this
is the third time he had us this year, and
so I wanted to hear because Greg's, you know, tied.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
In the third week in a row. And he said
it right before the game.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
He talked about us winning the coin toss and take
and we're kicking, you know, take, we're kicking, we're taking
the ball right, and Greg's like, hey, that's because of
the win factor this win. And then Pam Oliver on
the sideline, she just talked about how it is swirling.
This win is strong, gust of up to twenty nine
or thirty miles an hour, and Greg alluded to it
(12:52):
in the first quarter.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
That this can come into play late in the game.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
You have the ball in the fourth quarter, and Jordan,
I just go back to our game when played the
Giants at the end of the eight season in the
Metal Lands.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
We got flexed till the Sunday.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Night game and whoever won the game at home field advantage, well,
they had the ball with the win and the fourth
we had it in our face and we had a
game winning field goal and John Casey ain't like twenty
five yards out to the left and the ball landed
fifty yards out to the right.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It was just you couldn't You couldn't do it. I
thought that was I thought that was great on our part.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
We came in with the plan offensively and then defensively
Ben but don't break, make them go down the field,
and it worked perfect.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Roseboom's been a fantastic little two game stretch out of
him as our linebacker at fifteen tackles had twelve I
think the game before. He's really been coming alive and
just fun to watch our defense. And then a game
winning field goal. There was the Panther sposted. They filmed
two Panther fans that were first row at the stadium.
They watched them as the field goal was kicked and
(13:55):
then they just went nuts and all the Green Bay
fans around them were just silent. But what a fun
day against a dang good team. Man on Jordan Love's birthday,
it's pretty excited about where five and four right now? Man?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
You know, Jorge, this to me, I felt like it
was the Philadelphia game of last year where no one
gave us a chance, double digit, you know whatever, underdogs
and we go in there and we take control of
the game, and that's kind of what it was all
game long, and we just couldn't get it done last
year in Philly.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Well we got it done this time, right.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
So it's steps, it's growth, and I think you're seeing
that with this team. And to be have five wins
this point in the season five and four and the
way it starting out zering two, it's just you starting
to feel some momentum. And back to rose Boom, isn't
it just it's insane to me. They switched him in
Trevin from the Green Dot, and it's like Trevn's playing
(14:51):
faster and so is rose Boom. It's just the growth.
I think that Trevn's starting to show and then rose
Boom's getting comfortable they're playing, you know, playing off each
other and with each other.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So yeah, it was a gosh, it was. It was
a good win.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
And oh, by the way, number ninety five for us
Derek Brown in case you didn't know.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
He might be decent.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Oh, he's awesome. He just in his body type, it
just looks like it'd be difficult to move him and
block him.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I know, he's still very tall, but he's still compact
looking and like I would describe it as dense, Like
I can't imagine when you go to hit him on
a double team, You're just like, oh, he's gonna just
fade away quickly. I mean, it's brutal.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Well, but it's he chases down runners.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
That's the thing sometimes to me, that's what I'm marbled
at the last two of the last three games when
he goes and he takes off running down the line
and a quick screen or chasing down a quarterback. What
was it against the Jets when he chased down I
can't remember if it was Tyrod.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It might have been Tyrod.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
It's like, it's unbelievable what this guy does, and everybody
kind of they feed off of him. I truly believe
we kind of started. We're feeding off of him, which
we should be.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Yeah, why not, He's super good. We play the Saints.
They're one and eight, Jake, led by head coach Kellen Moore,
who's a celebrity where I live, Boise State Icon. He
still does car commercials and stuff around here, so we
see him all the time on TV or on billboards.
There's like a coach Peterson who is the head coach
(16:22):
when Kellen was there at Boise State. Him Leighton vander
esh and now Ashjad Gentier, like this car dealership just
floods everywhere with their images. Off to a rough start
his first year as head coach there with the Saints,
but one in eight, Jake, I'm fine if the Saints
don't get hot this week in Charlotte.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, I'm the same way.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
And they did trade away one of their better receivers yesterday,
Rashid Shaheed. They traded away to Seattle, and then they
traded away their starting left gored Trevor Penny, former first
round pick who's been somewhat of a disappointment.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
So I'm happy that they traded those two guys away.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
But Jordan, when you watch this team, I know they
only have one win. This is not a bad football team.
They're just they don't have a ton of depth, and
offensively they're going through some struggles. But I feel very
different going into this game than I did going into
the Jets game. I felt we were playing a Jets
team that they could not score and we just need
to get the lead and play keep away. That's what
(17:19):
I think this is different. I think this team has
some pieces on defense. I'm talking about the Saints. I
think they're decent up front. I know they play extremely hard.
They had a you know, almost two goal line stands
two weeks ago against Tampa. It is a division game,
you know how we feel about division games. But Tyler Shuck,
the young kid played half the game against Tampa two
(17:39):
weeks ago, a full game against an unbelievably good Rams team.
This kid's not that bad, and I think they've done
right by him. A second round pick that didn't start him.
He had a ton of reps in training camp and
then he was able to kind of watch and things.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Of that nature.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
So I you know, this is not that bad of
a football team. We need to come ready to play.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
A familiar opponent. As you said, Jake, I never liked
playing the Saints. I'm just gonna be honest, you know,
division opponents. I was fairly neutral on the Bucks. Atlanta.
I liked playing for some reason. It didn't even have
anything to do with my three thoughts if we were
gonna win or lose. But the Saints just it's just
(18:22):
kind of yuck, Jake. And I'm sorry because I know
you live down there. It's got nothing to do with Louisiana.
It's just the Saints in general, and it's just a
random point I thought i'd share.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Well, I'm glad, you know, and so I'm going in
my mind, I think that we all we liked playing
Tampa because we had probably our greatest success against Tampa
division wise.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Well in the Saints we got after the Saints pretty good.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
But I loved it just because one it was the
Saints Max team, and I loved going down to the
Dome to play whenever we would play them Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
We always Atlanta was tough.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Man from the Warrick dun days to the John Abraham
to oh yeah, Michael Vick. Yeah, Atlanta was Uh. They
were always a thorn on our side somewhat. But but
division game Jordan. You said it past those games, they're tough,
they're difficult. Everyone knows everything about each other, so it's
going to be a tough battle this week.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
They still have am Jordan on the team. He's been there.
I played against him like eight times. Jake. That's how
old he is. He's thirty six. I mean, it seems
like he should be older than that. Honestly, I can't
believe he's still playing.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Think about his health, you know, guys.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I don't ever remember him missing time due to any
That's the thing that marvel about him.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
He never he's always available.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
And his rep coount has gone down over the years
and all that. But it's not like he's playing kicker.
He's a defensive end in the NFL. It's just incredible.
Hats off to him.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Are you working this game.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Right, okay, well have fun matchri Polos. Is Luke there?
I don't even know is Luke there?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
It's there, and you know, but the thing with the
Polos now, Jordan is getting a little chillier.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
So we have sweatshirts and things that you're definitely.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Wearing a quarter zip of some kind made of cashmere
or something from.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
No, not cashmere. I doubt I'm trying to have a
quarter zip.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I have something usually with a hood, I'm very I
like having to cover my ears.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I don't like my hair wind and you're not shaving.
We already covered that, so we'll all right. I'll be
a high maintenance flatchy beard. Last name Jake. Producer Matt
had his first well he didn't, his wife had their
first child. So now he is a father. And the
best thing that Matt said off air, He's like, I'm
(20:44):
generally kind of grumpy, but I really like this. So
that's the best way I've ever heard someone describing fatherhood
right there. I'm not a little grumpy, but I actually
like this.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
When and when he told us, he goes, I just
kind of look at her like she's sleeping, but I'm
just staring at her for like an hour straight.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Oh, I know, incredible.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
That's fatherhood. Internut Ship, Murphy Lynn.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
That's the name. Solid name. I thought maybe throw a
Jordan in there, but whatever, you know, maybe that's for
a second child.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
It is, That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Thanks Mat. There you go, There you go. Jj it's
in honor of jj H.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
It's a three. Yeah. It encompasses all three you.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Guys, that's your second child. That's and if you go Jordan,
it's a boy or girl, doesn't matter, doesn't So you're great.
You're good to go. Matt all right, Hey, you guys,
be good. We'll see you later. Have fun.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Charlotte, Jake, you got a good luck first round of
the playoffs. I anticipate a big win and we can
talk about it next week.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
About the Grizzlies.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
We'll do, we'll do, all right.
Jordan and Jake. I'll go good.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I'm excited, ready to go.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
The bump stops. He throws at a crossfield.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Guess who, George Gross?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Here are you? Panther Hall of Honor members Jordan Gross
and Jake Delome.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Jake, it's week ten. It's November. I mean it's been
November for a few days, but it's this is the
first podcast in November and it's week ten, and seriously,
where is the time going?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And it will continue to go.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Jordan, it's amazing training camp, like it takes forever in
preseason and then you have week one and the next
thing you know, it's like, oh my goodness, it's goal
time and it just it doesn't stop. And I felt
that way as a player right all the off season
and the lifting of the weights and running, and then
once it gets going, it's just like it's never it
(00:56):
just doesn't stop. And then you wake up and it's like,
oh my gosh, the season's over.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
You never lifted weights. No I did.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I did, And you know that you did like you had.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
A thigh master and like subduing step aerobics in the corner.
That's what you did.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
No, Hey, I tried to keep weight on. Man, it's
so hard for I know, for me to keep wait
on during the season. That was the most difficult thing.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I'm feeling like a realist champ because we have a
young son still around and Boone wanted to decorate outside
of the house for Halloween. Dana Alex my wife Alex,
to do like a fall decoration where you got you know,
pumpkins and gordons and whatnot, so it carries over. But
some of the neighbors and out here get a little
(01:42):
crazy with all the decoration, like giant skeletons and animatronics
and all this stuff for Halloween. Jokes on them because
Sunday they had to put all that stuff away. I
didn't have to.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Exactly right now, my question is this, if you wouldn't
be a high school football coach in the middle of
the season, would you have done more.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I don't think so. I don't think so. I think
just the fall. I think we're onto something with the
fall decoration, and it carries all the way through to
Hell or to Thanksgiving. Plus, when you have pigs, one
of the best things is throwing the pigs the decomposing pumpkins,
and they go hog wild on those things.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
No pun intended.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
No, I meant a pun, I meant the Okay, okay, okay, sure.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
The pun was intended. Nike, do you grow a mustache
for November? November has been the men's health awareness month
for many many years to focus in on things like
prostate cancer, tisticular cancer, mental health, suicide prevention. And one
of the main things that people do is grow a mustache.
(02:47):
So I want to know, are you on board, Jordan?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I am not.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I have heard about the no shape November. I've had
some friends that have partaken in it. That's not me,
And I'm not so sure I can grow a beer.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, what what happened? I was thinking about this and
I know you've got a smooth face always. If you
didn't shave for a whole month, what's the pattern looking
like on your face?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
That's a great question.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I think splotchy would be a word that we could
use for I think splotchy isn't isn't.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
A male makeup? Interesting? How all the varieties of facial
hair that we get to experience in different people. You know,
I've got two coaches on my coaching staff that have full,
zzy top beards. Really like like mid chest linked Jake,
that's a lot of grooming, right, I agree. And they
(03:38):
both have minimal hair up top, like one's got a
full head of hair, but Kep keeps it crop. The
other guy's bald. But that's a lot of maintenance. I'm
I mean it's like kind of having like a term
in your hair, like for a lady. Is that a thing? Still?
I don't even know, I guess.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But what about eating, I just think it's like it's gross,
I mean, food particles and all that falling.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
You know, you have to think that though, because you
have splotchy face hair. It's like there's no option for you.
So it's so foreign that you don't even have an
you know, you can't even fathom it, Jake, No, I cannot.
I cannot. My wife was gone also something to bring up.
My wife was gone for a few days on a
little girl's trip. I was going to ask you, I've
(04:23):
got I'm not. I actually enjoy cooking. I wouldn't call
it like I'm not like a fancy cook, but we're surviving.
I go, I can a variety of proteins and some
vegetables and maybe a carb or a starch. I can
get it done. What was your go to when Carrie
was out of town if you had to feed the
girls and keep them alive.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I was always big on salmon, sweet potatoes, salad, you know,
some green beans, something like that. Are grilling some pork chops,
I could, you know, make it some mac and cheese,
you know, something like that, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I could.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I feel pretty good about that.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You're not doing like a heavy recipe type of meal
when you're in charge. No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
And I'm very spoiled.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
We we're We eat at home often and we we
eat well, we eat right, you know. And my wife
loves to cook, is a great cook, enjoys cooking. So
I I like to think I have gourmet meals a
decent amount. Matter of fact, I have had to share
a recipe recently with one Luke Keighley.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Okay, yeah, he's a cooker.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
He likes to cook. He likes to cook, and it's
it's odd how he keeps that awesome bod.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
There's no doubt I heat tuna dish that we do.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And I had to forward David Langton the recipe for
his lovely wife who she wanted to know what the
sauce was and things like that. So yeah, we're we're
I'm a food guy, Jordan.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Why everybody get red hot on your ah tuna recipe
rebragging it up in the booth or something.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, because I showed a picture and it's just so good,
and and and and Tracy was like, ooh, you need
to send me that.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Luke's like, yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
You know so well, you might as well walk us
through the recipe, just you know, a synopsis, right, I
got time, I got time, very simple, little a tuna
season sesame seeds on top, I mean medium rare, and
then a bowl of jasmine rice in the middle, and
if you can decide, you can put some zucchini in it,
some corn, cucumbers and cut up and a mommy if
(06:26):
you want, all kind of different.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
So it's like a bowl, right, and then you kind
of put the old tuna right on top. And there's
a little sauce made with like some like a little
pain syrup in it, a little vinegar, white wine, like
little vinegar deal with some sesame in it. Just it's
a nice, healthy, good dish. Some corn if you like
corn in there, you can.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Put your corn twice you must be. You're all in
on the I love porn.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Big corn gone, yes, yes, on the cob.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
You throw the whole cob in there.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You can go, well, well, we will do that.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
If we have corn on the cob, or especially left over,
then we'll just kind of slice it the nibblets slice
it off, but put it in. Had corn on the
cob last night, by the way, just just being you
brought it ups a.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Little sticky thing on the end, like a little kid.
They're like they look like a pig or something. One
in the head. The other ends of the butt.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Had that growing up.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
No, Jordan, I like to I like to get you know, dirty,
you know, I want to feel the juice all them
the hands and things like that.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Are you typewriter side to side or is it like
we're going vertical and we're rolling and then we.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, I've never discussed my corn eating ever in my life.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I didn't think we talk about it today.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
It is like our sixth season or seven. I mean,
we're running out of stuff to talk about.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, I'm a typewriter, Jordan. I am a typewriter, left
to right, ding back over, you go.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Absolutely, I'm crazy. Sometimes sometimes I go left to right.
Then I'll go up and go back right to left.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Then, Jake, you just you never ceased to amaze me. Man,
all the different shades of Jake Delone. Uh. The Panthers
got victory Monday this week, first of the season. I
just want to take a moment and celebrate the victory
Monday and just try to explain why that's so awesome. Jake.
So what Victory Monday is an NFL schedule play on Sunday,
(08:16):
typically normal Monday. You come in, you lift, you watch
film as you have a team meeting, and if you win,
you go over them good, bad and ugly or whatever
they give out some maybe a game ball type of thing.
If you win, if you lose, you get told you
know everything we did wrong. Then you go and you
watch film as an offense or as a position groups
(08:37):
a long day. Victory Monday is all I need you
guys to do is come in, get your lift, watch
film as a group, and then we'll see you Wednesday.
Tuesday being kind of an off day, you know, not
meeting with the coaches as they prepare. Victory Monday was
so fantastic, Jake that I when we lived in Charlotte,
I had a surfboat and I had victory Monday painted
(09:00):
on the back of it because it was my favorite
thing in the world.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I did not know that victory Monday is always great
because you knew it was after one a win, or
especially a big win, you know, especially maybe something on
the road or just a big old win that was great.
But you had to have the responsibility to come in.
But it's something about coming in and getting your lift
on your own right, getting your lift. You still lift
in the weighting room with the shrimp coach, but like
(09:25):
the position meeting, just with your group, everybody's in a
good mood. There's just something about that. I don't know
it's always It's probably just because it's a win. But
I thought it was interesting what Canalis said. He met
with the leadership group last week. He did it after
week four, and he did it again after week eight,
and he said, Hey, just to let y'all know, from
(09:45):
here on out, we win a game, it'll be victory Monday.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
And that's that carrot that dangles out for the players.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It's not like they're gonna try, Oh, let's let's study
a little more this week to have victory Monday. But
it's just once you get into that routine of the
season and everyone knows, I've got to keep my body
in the best shape possible, and you start to settle
in on what we're doing offensively and defensively, and you
just kind of develop. You become that team along that way,
(10:11):
and the best teams are the ones that hold each
other are accountable. Whereas coaches don't mind giving you the
victory Monday because you know you're going to come in,
you know, as a position group. I'm assuming you are
rying to little led the offensive meetings and you discuss Yes,
the good you laughed and everything, but the ugly you
have to discuss it even after a win.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Hey, we can't do this, so let's give them the
same page here.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
No, And then you just knew that the staff trusted you.
That's the thing, like, hey, we've made it to a
place in our relationship, as you said, where they know
you're going to come in and watch the film and
it gives you just some freedom, like maybe now I
could take my kids and drop them off at school
or something because it's not an assigned time. But now
I'm so happy for the team off the thirteen to
six team that was an odd way of saying that
(10:54):
sixteen thirteen win with the game winning field goal. Before
we get into the game, Jake, what do you think
of the Packers uniforms with the fancy leather looking helmet.
I was a little bit manh.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, I thought it was okay.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
And then but when you see it up close, like
when I look at the TV real quick and you
would look at the helmet, it was.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Like, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
You know how they wrapped it and things like that,
but you know, they have such an iconic, beautiful uniform
that you know, to me, Green Bay looks like the
Green Bay in my mind. Yeah, I understand you want
to do some of these throwbacks, but I kind of
like traditional.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
First thing. I gotta say, right up, the bat is
to the O line and the offense in general. The
past protection was phenomenal. Micah Parsons was first time in
his career at zero pressures. Icky faced him a bunch
of times. I think I read online he had nine
to one on ones against him and to get zero
pressures for Micah Parsons, that's just a fantastic job. Super
(11:52):
impressed with that young man. As he continues to grow
and develop and just in general, great game plan. Bryce
did a nice job getting that ball out and it
was gusty, Jake, gusty wins, which I know you've had
experience with that's hard to throw in. How did that?
What'd you think watching that game?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Well, I thought it was listen, so I didn't call
it right.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
So I'm watching every segment of it, and I have
I'm listening to the broadcast on one shoulder where.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I hold my cell phone.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
But I also wanted to hear Greg Olsen because this
is the third time he had us this year, and
so I wanted to hear because Greg's, you know, tied.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
In the third week in a row. And he said
it right before the game.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
He talked about us winning the coin toss and take
and we're kicking, you know, take, we're kicking, we're taking
the ball right, and Greg's like, hey, that's because of
the win factor this win. And then Pam Oliver on
the sideline, she just talked about how it is swirling.
This win is strong, gust of up to twenty nine
or thirty miles an hour, and Greg alluded to it
(12:52):
in the first quarter.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
That this can come into play late in the game.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
You have the ball in the fourth quarter, and Jordan,
I just go back to our game when played the
Giants at the end of the eight season in the
Metal Lands.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
We got flexed till the Sunday.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Night game and whoever won the game at home field advantage, well,
they had the ball with the win and the fourth
we had it in our face and we had a
game winning field goal and John Casey ain't like twenty
five yards out to the left and the ball landed
fifty yards out to the right.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It was just you couldn't You couldn't do it. I
thought that was I thought that was great on our part.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
We came in with the plan offensively and then defensively
Ben but don't break, make them go down the field,
and it worked perfect.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Roseboom's been a fantastic little two game stretch out of
him as our linebacker at fifteen tackles had twelve I
think the game before. He's really been coming alive and
just fun to watch our defense. And then a game
winning field goal. There was the Panther sposted. They filmed
two Panther fans that were first row at the stadium.
They watched them as the field goal was kicked and
(13:55):
then they just went nuts and all the Green Bay
fans around them were just silent. But what a fun
day against a dang good team. Man on Jordan Love's birthday,
it's pretty excited about where five and four right now? Man?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
You know, Jorge, this to me, I felt like it
was the Philadelphia game of last year where no one
gave us a chance, double digit, you know whatever, underdogs
and we go in there and we take control of
the game, and that's kind of what it was all
game long, and we just couldn't get it done last
year in Philly.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Well we got it done this time, right.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
So it's steps, it's growth, and I think you're seeing
that with this team. And to be have five wins
this point in the season five and four and the
way it starting out zering two, it's just you starting
to feel some momentum. And back to rose Boom, isn't
it just it's insane to me. They switched him in
Trevin from the Green Dot, and it's like Trevn's playing
(14:51):
faster and so is rose Boom. It's just the growth.
I think that Trevn's starting to show and then rose
Boom's getting comfortable they're playing, you know, playing off each
other and with each other.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So yeah, it was a gosh, it was. It was
a good win.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
And oh, by the way, number ninety five for us
Derek Brown in case you didn't know.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
He might be decent.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Oh, he's awesome. He just in his body type, it
just looks like it'd be difficult to move him and
block him.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I know, he's still very tall, but he's still compact
looking and like I would describe it as dense, Like
I can't imagine when you go to hit him on
a double team, You're just like, oh, he's gonna just
fade away quickly. I mean, it's brutal.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Well, but it's he chases down runners.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
That's the thing sometimes to me, that's what I'm marbled
at the last two of the last three games when
he goes and he takes off running down the line
and a quick screen or chasing down a quarterback. What
was it against the Jets when he chased down I
can't remember if it was Tyrod.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It might have been Tyrod.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
It's like, it's unbelievable what this guy does, and everybody
kind of they feed off of him. I truly believe
we kind of started. We're feeding off of him, which
we should be.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Yeah, why not, He's super good. We play the Saints.
They're one and eight, Jake, led by head coach Kellen Moore,
who's a celebrity where I live, Boise State Icon. He
still does car commercials and stuff around here, so we
see him all the time on TV or on billboards.
There's like a coach Peterson who is the head coach
(16:22):
when Kellen was there at Boise State. Him Leighton vander
esh and now Ashjad Gentier, like this car dealership just
floods everywhere with their images. Off to a rough start
his first year as head coach there with the Saints,
but one in eight, Jake, I'm fine if the Saints
don't get hot this week in Charlotte.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, I'm the same way.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
And they did trade away one of their better receivers yesterday,
Rashid Shaheed. They traded away to Seattle, and then they
traded away their starting left gored Trevor Penny, former first
round pick who's been somewhat of a disappointment.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
So I'm happy that they traded those two guys away.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
But Jordan, when you watch this team, I know they
only have one win. This is not a bad football team.
They're just they don't have a ton of depth, and
offensively they're going through some struggles. But I feel very
different going into this game than I did going into
the Jets game. I felt we were playing a Jets
team that they could not score and we just need
to get the lead and play keep away. That's what
(17:19):
I think this is different. I think this team has
some pieces on defense. I'm talking about the Saints. I
think they're decent up front. I know they play extremely hard.
They had a you know, almost two goal line stands
two weeks ago against Tampa. It is a division game,
you know how we feel about division games. But Tyler Shuck,
the young kid played half the game against Tampa two
(17:39):
weeks ago, a full game against an unbelievably good Rams team.
This kid's not that bad, and I think they've done
right by him. A second round pick that didn't start him.
He had a ton of reps in training camp and
then he was able to kind of watch and things.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Of that nature.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
So I you know, this is not that bad of
a football team. We need to come ready to play.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
A familiar opponent. As you said, Jake, I never liked
playing the Saints. I'm just gonna be honest, you know,
division opponents. I was fairly neutral on the Bucks. Atlanta.
I liked playing for some reason. It didn't even have
anything to do with my three thoughts if we were
gonna win or lose. But the Saints just it's just
(18:22):
kind of yuck, Jake. And I'm sorry because I know
you live down there. It's got nothing to do with Louisiana.
It's just the Saints in general, and it's just a
random point I thought i'd share.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Well, I'm glad, you know, and so I'm going in
my mind, I think that we all we liked playing
Tampa because we had probably our greatest success against Tampa
division wise.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Well in the Saints we got after the Saints pretty good.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
But I loved it just because one it was the
Saints Max team, and I loved going down to the
Dome to play whenever we would play them Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
We always Atlanta was tough.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Man from the Warrick dun days to the John Abraham
to oh yeah, Michael Vick. Yeah, Atlanta was Uh. They
were always a thorn on our side somewhat. But but
division game Jordan. You said it past those games, they're tough,
they're difficult. Everyone knows everything about each other, so it's
going to be a tough battle this week.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
They still have am Jordan on the team. He's been there.
I played against him like eight times. Jake. That's how
old he is. He's thirty six. I mean, it seems
like he should be older than that. Honestly, I can't
believe he's still playing.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Think about his health, you know, guys.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I don't ever remember him missing time due to any
That's the thing that marvel about him.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
He never he's always available.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
And his rep coount has gone down over the years
and all that. But it's not like he's playing kicker.
He's a defensive end in the NFL. It's just incredible.
Hats off to him.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Are you working this game.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Right, okay, well have fun matchri Polos. Is Luke there?
I don't even know is Luke there?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
It's there, and you know, but the thing with the
Polos now, Jordan is getting a little chillier.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
So we have sweatshirts and things that you're definitely.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Wearing a quarter zip of some kind made of cashmere
or something from.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
No, not cashmere. I doubt I'm trying to have a
quarter zip.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I have something usually with a hood, I'm very I
like having to cover my ears.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I don't like my hair wind and you're not shaving.
We already covered that, so we'll all right. I'll be
a high maintenance flatchy beard. Last name Jake. Producer Matt
had his first well he didn't, his wife had their
first child. So now he is a father. And the
best thing that Matt said off air, He's like, I'm
(20:44):
generally kind of grumpy, but I really like this. So
that's the best way I've ever heard someone describing fatherhood
right there. I'm not a little grumpy, but I actually
like this.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
When and when he told us, he goes, I just
kind of look at her like she's sleeping, but I'm
just staring at her for like an hour straight.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Oh, I know, incredible.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
That's fatherhood. Internut Ship, Murphy Lynn.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
That's the name. Solid name. I thought maybe throw a
Jordan in there, but whatever, you know, maybe that's for
a second child.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
It is, That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
