WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Show - Zach Gelb Interview 

0:00:00.250 --> 0:00:04.070
<v Speaker 1>Zach gel, compass media joins us here on the Mac

0:00:04.130 --> 0:00:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and bone show to help us cope with what's happened.

0:00:06.700 --> 0:00:10.959
<v Speaker 2>The last two games, Galby what's happening, man. What's going on?

0:00:11.780 --> 0:00:14.340
<v Speaker 3>I know what Fitty could do. So Fitty's got the

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 3>bosoms to dress up as Belichick. So he dresses up

0:00:17.410 --> 0:00:19.529
<v Speaker 3>as Belichick and he brings a little play calling sheep.

0:00:19.570 --> 0:00:22.710
<v Speaker 3>That's his phone to be able to watch the UNC Miami.

0:00:22.790 --> 0:00:24.450
<v Speaker 2>That's a hell of a plan about the hell of

0:00:24.470 --> 0:00:31.830
<v Speaker 2>a plan. He's got the Can you get Maddie to

0:00:31.870 --> 0:00:34.130
<v Speaker 2>dress up like Jordan Hudson? That would be a hell

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.660
<v Speaker 2>of a costume. I think she's going as a carrot.

0:00:40.390 --> 0:00:42.930
<v Speaker 2>I saw the outfit last night. We'll just leave it

0:00:42.990 --> 0:00:44.830
<v Speaker 2>at that. You know what?

0:00:45.210 --> 0:00:47.830
<v Speaker 3>She's going as a carrot. That's basically baby food. Probably

0:00:47.850 --> 0:00:49.230
<v Speaker 3>the same food that Jordan Hudson.

0:00:49.270 --> 0:00:52.010
<v Speaker 2>There you go. There you go.

0:00:52.530 --> 0:00:57.030
<v Speaker 1>Galby, this Panthers season has just taken a turn, a

0:00:57.730 --> 0:01:01.380
<v Speaker 1>hideous turn. What are you, what are you thinking? I mean,

0:01:01.660 --> 0:01:04.940
<v Speaker 1>everything's so hard. The offensive line injuries, the cornerback injuries.

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:05.940
<v Speaker 1>What do you think of this team?

0:01:07.050 --> 0:01:07.390
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:07.410 --> 0:01:10.570
<v Speaker 3>The team's banged up. And once the interception happened last night,

0:01:10.610 --> 0:01:12.290
<v Speaker 3>it was like the air just got let out of

0:01:12.330 --> 0:01:14.789
<v Speaker 3>the balloon. Like I was agreeing with Herb street earlier

0:01:14.810 --> 0:01:16.830
<v Speaker 3>in the game. It's like, you look at Bryce young

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 3>and he has Moxie and he has toughness, but you

0:01:19.700 --> 0:01:21.580
<v Speaker 3>look at the defensive side of the ball. That's the

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.220
<v Speaker 3>alarming part for me. Like, I feel like we talk

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.960
<v Speaker 3>about this each and every week, the defense stinks. Like

0:01:27.500 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 3>they got issues right now. uh, golden and Watson and

0:01:30.740 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 3>then Watson, uh, coming out of the, uh, the hospital

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.990
<v Speaker 3>back onto the, uh, you know, onto the sideline. It

0:01:37.030 --> 0:01:38.970
<v Speaker 3>was just, uh, it was the game that I, it

0:01:39.170 --> 0:01:41.130
<v Speaker 3>didn't go the way I expected it to. Cause early

0:01:41.310 --> 0:01:43.490
<v Speaker 3>on I go, okay, it's just going to be a

0:01:43.510 --> 0:01:45.570
<v Speaker 3>high octane offensive game and they're going to be going

0:01:45.590 --> 0:01:47.900
<v Speaker 3>back and forth. But by the end of it, it

0:01:47.950 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 3>was like, man, the Panthers forgot to play in the

0:01:50.540 --> 0:01:50.980
<v Speaker 3>second half.

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:56.330
<v Speaker 4>On the offensive side, obviously, it was a defensive problem

0:01:56.450 --> 0:02:01.030
<v Speaker 4>on Sunday against Tampa. Yesterday, the offensive line was terrible.

0:02:01.350 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 4>Do you put most of that on the offensive line,

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 4>or do you put some on Bryce? What's your assessment

0:02:07.060 --> 0:02:11.190
<v Speaker 4>of what you saw yesterday, offensive line versus Bryce's performance?

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.470
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I would put it more on the offensive line,

0:02:15.570 --> 0:02:20.090
<v Speaker 3>but it's like the weapons around Bryce. I know Ted

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 3>is coming off a rookie of the year, so I'm

0:02:22.460 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 3>not crushing him, but I just thought there would be

0:02:25.180 --> 0:02:29.030
<v Speaker 3>more explosive plays for this offense in a game like

0:02:29.090 --> 0:02:33.329
<v Speaker 3>that last night. And, you know, early on after they

0:02:33.370 --> 0:02:36.430
<v Speaker 3>got in the end zone, it was just what I

0:02:36.510 --> 0:02:39.850
<v Speaker 3>expected them to look like was the complete antithesis last night.

0:02:40.010 --> 0:02:40.169
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:02:40.190 --> 0:02:42.250
<v Speaker 1>And it's been like that the last two weeks, man.

0:02:42.270 --> 0:02:46.290
<v Speaker 1>This team's averaging 16 points a game. They're averaging five

0:02:46.310 --> 0:02:50.359
<v Speaker 1>and a half sacks a game allowed. Do you like

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:51.460
<v Speaker 1>when you watch that.

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.079
<v Speaker 3>Kind of remind me of the team comp I would

0:02:54.100 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 3>give them right now? is they're kind of looking like

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.579
<v Speaker 3>the Philadelphia Eagles where both of these teams, you know,

0:02:59.620 --> 0:03:02.020
<v Speaker 3>they have the talent where the offense should be better.

0:03:02.540 --> 0:03:05.190
<v Speaker 3>But when you have offensive line injuries and you have

0:03:05.210 --> 0:03:08.890
<v Speaker 3>a unit not playing well, it really just takes away

0:03:08.950 --> 0:03:10.970
<v Speaker 3>from anything that the offense can do.

0:03:11.010 --> 0:03:13.230
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing you can't scheme around it. You can't, you

0:03:13.250 --> 0:03:14.810
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? You can't get the ball downfield

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:19.020
<v Speaker 1>because there's not enough time. Now, do you think is

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>bright Bryce losing money right now? Is that safe to like,

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.590
<v Speaker 1>have you, are you changing your feeling about the Panthers

0:03:26.310 --> 0:03:27.590
<v Speaker 1>needing to resign Bryce?

0:03:27.650 --> 0:03:30.369
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to evaluate him in games like this.

0:03:31.710 --> 0:03:34.930
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it is. Here's the thing. I think we all

0:03:35.010 --> 0:03:38.370
<v Speaker 3>know that price should not get $ 55 million a year,

0:03:38.890 --> 0:03:42.530
<v Speaker 3>but when you're a good quarterback, you sometimes get great money.

0:03:43.150 --> 0:03:45.690
<v Speaker 3>And I'll just ask this question. If the Panthers say

0:03:45.710 --> 0:03:48.830
<v Speaker 3>they're not going to pay Bryce young, like who's going

0:03:48.850 --> 0:03:50.970
<v Speaker 3>to come in and replace them. Like the guy has

0:03:51.030 --> 0:03:54.470
<v Speaker 3>been a good enough quarterback for you guys. The other

0:03:54.490 --> 0:03:56.570
<v Speaker 3>thing you got to just look at is the parameters

0:03:56.610 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 3>of the division. Like if he was thrown in an

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:03.619
<v Speaker 3>actual division, we maybe would be talking about him differently,

0:04:03.740 --> 0:04:06.420
<v Speaker 3>but even last year, it's not as if they really

0:04:06.540 --> 0:04:08.690
<v Speaker 3>earned the right to go to the postseason. They backed

0:04:08.710 --> 0:04:12.350
<v Speaker 3>their way into winning the NFC South. So I look

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 3>at Bryce and I go, maybe there could be a

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.340
<v Speaker 3>Baker Mayfield deal out for him. It's probably going to

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.430
<v Speaker 3>be richer than what Baker got. I'm talking about when

0:04:19.450 --> 0:04:23.390
<v Speaker 3>he first did go to Tampa Bay, but who knows?

0:04:23.589 --> 0:04:26.210
<v Speaker 3>Eventually I would like to think that all this quarterback

0:04:26.270 --> 0:04:27.589
<v Speaker 3>money is going to even out and we're going to

0:04:27.610 --> 0:04:31.230
<v Speaker 3>get back to a point of sanity. But once the, the,

0:04:31.270 --> 0:04:33.490
<v Speaker 3>the cat is out of the bag and, and, you know,

0:04:33.510 --> 0:04:36.159
<v Speaker 3>Pandora's box is open. It's tough to get everyone back,

0:04:36.180 --> 0:04:38.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, into one place of, of, of a normal

0:04:38.740 --> 0:04:41.100
<v Speaker 3>common sense in the quarterback paying department.

0:04:41.220 --> 0:04:43.780
<v Speaker 4>We have a text question for you, Gil. Do you

0:04:43.820 --> 0:04:47.260
<v Speaker 4>think this could get bad enough where Canalis would get

0:04:47.300 --> 0:04:47.820
<v Speaker 4>on the hot seat?

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Potentially. I like, I would like to think last year

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.100
<v Speaker 3>gives him a year to get it right. If this

0:04:58.260 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 3>one does go South, uh, especially how bad of a

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.710
<v Speaker 3>job that was when things did go over. But, uh, Mr.

0:05:05.750 --> 0:05:07.810
<v Speaker 3>Tepper could only be quiet for so long.

0:05:07.930 --> 0:05:08.190
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:05:08.270 --> 0:05:10.990
<v Speaker 3>I really haven't ever since he threw that drink on

0:05:11.010 --> 0:05:14.770
<v Speaker 3>that fan. We haven't really heard much, uh, from David Tepper.

0:05:15.130 --> 0:05:19.860
<v Speaker 3>And I think that is just, uh, just a volcano

0:05:19.980 --> 0:05:23.620
<v Speaker 3>waiting to erupt. So I will not say that that

0:05:23.690 --> 0:05:26.230
<v Speaker 3>is crazy, but if I'm going to operate on how

0:05:26.270 --> 0:05:29.450
<v Speaker 3>football teams should operate, I would like to think Canales

0:05:29.470 --> 0:05:31.529
<v Speaker 3>will be back next year, but if they go lose

0:05:31.630 --> 0:05:34.790
<v Speaker 3>six in a row, seven in a row, then, then,

0:05:35.089 --> 0:05:36.230
<v Speaker 3>then that's a different story.

0:05:36.650 --> 0:05:36.950
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:05:37.210 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I hope it doesn't fall apart like that, but my God,

0:05:40.060 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>with this offensive line, this group that is playing right now. Jeez,

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.620
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to see the way out. We're talking with

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.619
<v Speaker 1>Zach Gelb. I'll ask you this question, Gelby. Richard Sherman

0:05:49.660 --> 0:05:51.460
<v Speaker 1>was asked this question after the game. I guess in

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.150
<v Speaker 1>the pregame, he was saying that the Panthers are the

0:05:54.170 --> 0:05:56.550
<v Speaker 1>best team in the South, which I would have still

0:05:56.589 --> 0:06:00.089
<v Speaker 1>been saying in the pregame myself yesterday. After the game,

0:06:00.170 --> 0:06:02.930
<v Speaker 1>he was kind of hemming and hawing about it. Like,

0:06:03.230 --> 0:06:04.869
<v Speaker 1>who do you think's the best team in the South

0:06:04.930 --> 0:06:06.810
<v Speaker 1>right now? Is that even an answerable question?

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:09.419
<v Speaker 2>I would. Yeah.

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.820
<v Speaker 3>It's like, who's the tallest dwarf, you know, that's pretty

0:06:11.860 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 3>much the way that, that we operate that one. Right.

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.670
<v Speaker 3>Like I, I would answer it this way. B John

0:06:18.730 --> 0:06:22.190
<v Speaker 3>Robinson is the best player. So in a division where

0:06:22.250 --> 0:06:24.610
<v Speaker 3>you don't need to be a good team to win

0:06:24.630 --> 0:06:29.380
<v Speaker 3>the division, Can B. John Robinson get the Falcons to

0:06:29.580 --> 0:06:34.690
<v Speaker 3>eight wins and maybe have a tiebreaker go their way? Yeah,

0:06:35.029 --> 0:06:38.470
<v Speaker 3>I would say so. I think them, the Panthers and

0:06:38.490 --> 0:06:41.490
<v Speaker 3>the Falcons are the two best teams in this division.

0:06:42.029 --> 0:06:45.089
<v Speaker 3>But I was bullish on the Saints going into this

0:06:45.130 --> 0:06:47.370
<v Speaker 3>year because of the quarterback. Maybe they get back into

0:06:47.410 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 3>the race like you guys know this. It doesn't take

0:06:50.180 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 3>much to get back into the race in this division. Definitely.

0:06:52.900 --> 0:06:56.890
<v Speaker 4>Yo, big trade yesterday. The Bears get Jeffrey Simmons from

0:06:56.950 --> 0:06:59.430
<v Speaker 4>the Titans. When you look at the Bears' big game

0:06:59.450 --> 0:07:02.729
<v Speaker 4>with Seattle on Monday night coming up, are you now

0:07:02.770 --> 0:07:05.870
<v Speaker 4>thinking the Bears are a legit Super Bowl contender if

0:07:06.170 --> 0:07:08.710
<v Speaker 4>they get a defense to go with that Ben Johnson offense?

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.670
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't like Ben Johnson. He comes off to

0:07:12.690 --> 0:07:15.550
<v Speaker 3>me as so insufferable. But I thought that before the

0:07:15.590 --> 0:07:18.210
<v Speaker 3>season started, they were a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Here's

0:07:18.230 --> 0:07:21.350
<v Speaker 3>the fun part about... not only the NFL, but also

0:07:21.380 --> 0:07:24.070
<v Speaker 3>college football. There's a lot of parody the last two,

0:07:24.110 --> 0:07:26.190
<v Speaker 3>three years. Who would have thought last year, the Seahawks

0:07:26.230 --> 0:07:28.350
<v Speaker 3>and the Patriots would have been in the Superbowl. Who

0:07:28.370 --> 0:07:31.690
<v Speaker 3>would have thought Indiana would have won the national championship.

0:07:32.110 --> 0:07:34.970
<v Speaker 3>Both of these sports seven, eight weeks into the season

0:07:35.010 --> 0:07:37.870
<v Speaker 3>are very open. So I look at that deal and

0:07:37.910 --> 0:07:40.250
<v Speaker 3>I say, yeah, Tennessee initially won the trade because they

0:07:40.300 --> 0:07:42.660
<v Speaker 3>got two first round picks for a player that that

0:07:43.060 --> 0:07:46.020
<v Speaker 3>they wanted to get rid of who was a great player,

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 3>but they're nowhere close to winning. So you go get

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 3>the most draft capital. But if you're Chicago, that 2027

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.420
<v Speaker 3>pick is going to be later on in the first round.

0:07:55.820 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 3>And then as long as your quarterback stays healthy, you

0:07:57.940 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 3>would like to think in 2028, you're still going to

0:08:00.820 --> 0:08:04.610
<v Speaker 3>be a playoff team. So I respect that the Bears said, okay,

0:08:04.940 --> 0:08:07.989
<v Speaker 3>we're going to go swing big because there's a chance

0:08:08.030 --> 0:08:09.770
<v Speaker 3>that they could get to the Super Bowl this year.

0:08:09.790 --> 0:08:11.930
<v Speaker 3>Because you look at the NFC, I know the Niners

0:08:11.970 --> 0:08:13.930
<v Speaker 3>just suffered their first loss of the season, but they're

0:08:13.990 --> 0:08:17.750
<v Speaker 3>banged up with injuries. Seahawks, they made the big trade

0:08:17.770 --> 0:08:20.470
<v Speaker 3>this week for Quinn and Nelson. The NFC East is

0:08:20.510 --> 0:08:23.470
<v Speaker 3>a disaster. The NFC South is a disaster. So it's like, yeah,

0:08:23.990 --> 0:08:25.650
<v Speaker 3>to go to the Super Bowl this year should probably

0:08:25.670 --> 0:08:28.030
<v Speaker 3>be from the West or the NFC North.

0:08:28.070 --> 0:08:28.950
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it should be.

0:08:29.550 --> 0:08:31.750
<v Speaker 1>I think they're in a spot where it's probably worth

0:08:31.790 --> 0:08:34.850
<v Speaker 1>going for it the way the Bears are. I don't

0:08:34.890 --> 0:08:36.390
<v Speaker 1>have a problem with what they gave them.

0:08:36.429 --> 0:08:39.030
<v Speaker 3>That organization has been down and out for a while.

0:08:39.860 --> 0:08:42.340
<v Speaker 3>You can only hold on to what happened in the

0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:44.380
<v Speaker 3>80s for so long. I know they had that Super

0:08:44.420 --> 0:08:49.510
<v Speaker 3>Bowl appearance where they lost to Peyton Manning in 2006.

0:08:49.510 --> 0:08:52.960
<v Speaker 3>But it's like you look at it right now. yeah,

0:08:52.980 --> 0:08:56.319
<v Speaker 3>with that coach and, and, and also with that quarterback,

0:08:56.820 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 3>it reminds me a lot of the Detroit lions from

0:08:59.740 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 3>a few years ago. And the lions almost got to

0:09:01.740 --> 0:09:04.020
<v Speaker 3>a super bowl. They, they probably should have when, when

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 3>they blew that game to the, to the 49ers in

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:07.330
<v Speaker 3>the NFC championship game.

0:09:07.350 --> 0:09:09.570
<v Speaker 1>All right, Galby, you are the man. It's good to,

0:09:09.790 --> 0:09:11.609
<v Speaker 1>good to hear from you again on Friday. I feel

0:09:11.650 --> 0:09:14.110
<v Speaker 1>like you were nice today. I feel like you could

0:09:14.150 --> 0:09:18.949
<v Speaker 1>have obliterated the Carolina Panthers after their offense blinded all

0:09:18.970 --> 0:09:19.490
<v Speaker 1>of America.

0:09:19.929 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 2>With that crappy performance. I appreciate that from you. Gelby.

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.329
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I'm in the Halloween spirit. I'm hoping when 50

0:09:26.330 --> 0:09:29.050
<v Speaker 3>is going trick or treating that he gets me some

0:09:29.070 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Reese's peanut butter cups and some KitKat bars. That's what

0:09:31.220 --> 0:09:31.719
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking for.

0:09:31.860 --> 0:09:34.100
<v Speaker 2>There you go. I think it's worth it. I think

0:09:34.140 --> 0:09:34.959
<v Speaker 2>what you did was worth it.
