WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Show - Jake Delhomme Interview 

0:00:00.050 --> 0:00:03.900
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk to Jake DeLome, Panthers legend, Panther Radio Network.

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:06.820
<v Speaker 1>The QB is playing damn good, and I would love

0:00:06.860 --> 0:00:09.170
<v Speaker 1>to hear Jake's thoughts on it. And Jake is with

0:00:09.230 --> 0:00:11.049
<v Speaker 1>us here on the Mac and Bone Show. Jake, what's

0:00:11.070 --> 0:00:12.210
<v Speaker 1>going on, man? How you doing?

0:00:13.310 --> 0:00:15.670
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great, man. I think I'm like everyone else.

0:00:16.190 --> 0:00:19.010
<v Speaker 2>Still living the high from Sunday night and knowing that

0:00:19.030 --> 0:00:21.270
<v Speaker 2>we have a bye, even though it's early, that's okay.

0:00:21.430 --> 0:00:24.290
<v Speaker 2>But kind of like what we've seen, especially from our quarterback,

0:00:24.310 --> 0:00:25.150
<v Speaker 2>my buddy. Definitely.

0:00:25.170 --> 0:00:27.130
<v Speaker 3>Jake, how great is it, though, when you have the

0:00:27.170 --> 0:00:30.270
<v Speaker 3>player perspective and you have the broadcasting perspective now, but

0:00:30.710 --> 0:00:33.910
<v Speaker 3>to go into the bye on a high, that's.

0:00:33.790 --> 0:00:34.629
<v Speaker 1>A huge deal, right?

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.180
<v Speaker 2>It always is. It's just that, I don't know, it's

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:40.940
<v Speaker 2>just that sense of you never want to go on

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:42.860
<v Speaker 2>that bad taste because you have to wait so long

0:00:42.900 --> 0:00:45.150
<v Speaker 2>to be able to play again. But going in and

0:00:45.729 --> 0:00:50.190
<v Speaker 2>how the atmosphere was Sunday night, the environment, down two

0:00:50.229 --> 0:00:52.989
<v Speaker 2>starting corners, we're missing the starting offensive lineman. We got

0:00:53.030 --> 0:00:55.450
<v Speaker 2>some guys kind of nicked during the game. And the

0:00:55.490 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 2>way we did it, I thought, was fantastic. I don't know.

0:00:58.910 --> 0:01:02.220
<v Speaker 2>The crowd affected Detroit's offense, I thought. I thought T-Mac

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 2>showed exactly what he is. I think Bryce is continuing

0:01:04.900 --> 0:01:09.340
<v Speaker 2>to show how he's playing. And just defensively, the Devin

0:01:09.380 --> 0:01:13.959
<v Speaker 2>Lloyd addition, it's been remarkable, to be very honest. And

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Derrick Brown, you can look at the stat sheet all

0:01:16.020 --> 0:01:17.679
<v Speaker 2>you want, but I think he affects the game so

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:19.740
<v Speaker 2>much more than the stat sheet. But it's just good

0:01:19.780 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 2>to go off of a win like that, try to

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:23.580
<v Speaker 2>get some guys back. We'll see how that plays out.

0:01:23.620 --> 0:01:27.630
<v Speaker 2>And then hopefully Philadelphia can kind of keep that the turmoil,

0:01:27.670 --> 0:01:30.010
<v Speaker 2>I guess you could say that always seems to surround them.

0:01:30.050 --> 0:01:32.330
<v Speaker 2>And then they're playing in London against a very good

0:01:32.350 --> 0:01:35.309
<v Speaker 2>Jaguars team. So, you know, keep that momentum going and

0:01:35.390 --> 0:01:36.350
<v Speaker 2>see what we can do after.

0:01:36.569 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I know, man, I know I'm ready, but this bye

0:01:38.580 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 1>week did come at a good time. All right. So Jake,

0:01:41.180 --> 0:01:43.980
<v Speaker 1>you're sitting there, you're, you're commentating on these games and

0:01:44.020 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>you're watching Bryce young play at such an amazing level

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.900
<v Speaker 1>and doing it while being the most pressured quarterback in

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.660
<v Speaker 1>the league, which is amazing to me. What are you

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:58.580
<v Speaker 1>noticing from Bryce, uh, that maybe he's improved at, or

0:01:58.620 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe you're seeing things that are different than the past years?

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.350
<v Speaker 2>I think it's just ownership of the offense. I think

0:02:09.370 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 2>that's the biggest thing. I just... there's complete ownership and it's,

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.780
<v Speaker 2>he's never too high. He's never too low. And you,

0:02:18.540 --> 0:02:21.419
<v Speaker 2>I'm a big believer in watching the quarterback's eyes. And

0:02:21.540 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 2>it's never like this panic, this frightened look in his eyes.

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.930
<v Speaker 2>And we have all these field mics and we can

0:02:27.010 --> 0:02:29.510
<v Speaker 2>hear the, the checks that he makes with the line

0:02:29.550 --> 0:02:32.770
<v Speaker 2>of scrimmage. There's never, it's never frantic. It's never rushed.

0:02:32.850 --> 0:02:34.809
<v Speaker 2>It's like, no, no, no, we're good. We're good. We're good. No,

0:02:34.830 --> 0:02:38.750
<v Speaker 2>go here, go here. It's, it's constantly constant communication. There's

0:02:38.790 --> 0:02:41.930
<v Speaker 2>never panic. It's never frantic. And he's just kind of

0:02:42.490 --> 0:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>just in total control. And yes, he's getting pressured a lot,

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.660
<v Speaker 2>but he's just dealing the football. I think the biggest

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.399
<v Speaker 2>thing to me that I'm so impressed with, he's so compact.

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 2>And what I mean by that, when he catches the snap,

0:02:55.620 --> 0:02:58.730
<v Speaker 2>it's like, he catches it. He's compact and the ball's

0:02:58.850 --> 0:03:02.070
<v Speaker 2>out immediately. And some of those RPO games are, I

0:03:03.010 --> 0:03:04.450
<v Speaker 2>don't even know if it was RPO. I think it

0:03:04.470 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 2>was PRO. It might've been fast read options first, you know,

0:03:07.820 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 2>he would take it and T Mac. It just, he

0:03:10.620 --> 0:03:12.980
<v Speaker 2>would just settle right away. He just knew, okay, let

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 2>me just peek and look and boom, the ball's on him.

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 2>But even like over the middle, some of the, the,

0:03:17.780 --> 0:03:19.580
<v Speaker 2>the crossing routes, we had a big third down on

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.429
<v Speaker 2>the game and Anish had said, okay, what are we

0:03:22.450 --> 0:03:24.590
<v Speaker 2>thinking here? I said, well, we're thinking two people, number

0:03:24.630 --> 0:03:28.370
<v Speaker 2>four and number 88. And he hit Waller coming across

0:03:28.410 --> 0:03:31.130
<v Speaker 2>the middle, but it's just the accuracy of the passes.

0:03:31.180 --> 0:03:35.780
<v Speaker 2>He threw one to Tremaine coming left to right. Tremaine

0:03:35.860 --> 0:03:37.460
<v Speaker 2>split out on the left and coming in on the

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.620
<v Speaker 2>in route and he layered the throw and he stuck

0:03:40.660 --> 0:03:42.750
<v Speaker 2>it on him. And that's the biggest thing. You want

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.850
<v Speaker 2>to be a passer, not a thrower of the football.

0:03:44.870 --> 0:03:47.210
<v Speaker 2>A thrower is someone who just kind of throws it

0:03:47.230 --> 0:03:49.210
<v Speaker 2>and hope they catch it. A passer, he kind of

0:03:49.250 --> 0:03:51.210
<v Speaker 2>talks to the player with the football, and I think

0:03:51.250 --> 0:03:54.180
<v Speaker 2>he's doing that. But it's just ownership. That's what I

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 2>just go back to. The receivers are kind of getting

0:03:57.700 --> 0:04:00.580
<v Speaker 2>on his level, and what I mean by that, we

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 2>got rid of his security blanket. I always say it.

0:04:02.930 --> 0:04:06.590
<v Speaker 2>Adam Thielen, after the 24th season, it was during the

0:04:06.610 --> 0:04:08.980
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl in New Orleans. We were there, when I

0:04:09.020 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 2>say we, the Panthers or Jonathan Stewart and I, we

0:04:11.300 --> 0:04:14.390
<v Speaker 2>did shows weekly. We were hoping both Steve and Luke

0:04:14.410 --> 0:04:16.150
<v Speaker 2>would maybe get in the Hall of Fame, right? Yeah.

0:04:16.670 --> 0:04:18.630
<v Speaker 2>And so we did a ton of interviews. Well, Bryce

0:04:18.670 --> 0:04:21.050
<v Speaker 2>came to sit down with us one day. And I

0:04:21.070 --> 0:04:23.510
<v Speaker 2>just noticed a different person. There was a confidence because

0:04:23.540 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>he finished 24 playing pretty well. And I just kind

0:04:26.260 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 2>of asked him off air about, hey, with feeling like,

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.060
<v Speaker 2>were you just going to throw to him? Like, what

0:04:31.100 --> 0:04:32.460
<v Speaker 2>was the deal? He goes, man, he goes, I just

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.700
<v Speaker 2>had that trust with him. And I just knew. And

0:04:35.250 --> 0:04:37.770
<v Speaker 2>that just kind of tells me it takes time for

0:04:37.790 --> 0:04:40.409
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback to trust some receivers. Right. And so you

0:04:40.430 --> 0:04:44.110
<v Speaker 2>saw the coker situation. play out before our eyes last year.

0:04:44.350 --> 0:04:47.050
<v Speaker 2>There's a trust factor there. And TMAC was making really

0:04:47.089 --> 0:04:50.110
<v Speaker 2>good plays, but I think TMAC even knew I can

0:04:50.130 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>make so many more because you saw it last year,

0:04:52.690 --> 0:04:55.330
<v Speaker 2>physically guys would really try to get in his chest

0:04:55.420 --> 0:04:57.150
<v Speaker 2>and things like that. When he said so much of

0:04:57.190 --> 0:05:00.740
<v Speaker 2>a bigger player this year, thickness wise and strength wise,

0:05:01.660 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 2>and the game's slowing down to me and it's going

0:05:03.820 --> 0:05:06.160
<v Speaker 2>to continue to slow down. But those two are starting

0:05:06.180 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>to kind of get on a page and it takes time, man.

0:05:09.700 --> 0:05:13.660
<v Speaker 2>It just, I keep saying that to people. I think

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 2>we grew together because we were both my first year

0:05:16.690 --> 0:05:20.650
<v Speaker 2>in Carolina was year three for him. But initially, in essence,

0:05:20.690 --> 0:05:23.590
<v Speaker 2>his first year starting as a receiver, but we, we

0:05:23.630 --> 0:05:26.549
<v Speaker 2>grew together. We just like, for whatever reason we clicked,

0:05:26.870 --> 0:05:29.780
<v Speaker 2>we just, we learned each other's body language and things

0:05:29.820 --> 0:05:32.659
<v Speaker 2>like that. And then the next year, Steve gets hers.

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 2>We've won. And so, yeah, certainly Moose was good, but

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:41.180
<v Speaker 2>you start to develop a different rapport with Moose, knowing exactly, okay, hey, Jake,

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I really like this. Hey, if I have this, make

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 2>sure you throw it here. I just think that takes time.

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.420
<v Speaker 2>And you're starting to see Bryce kind of get that

0:05:48.460 --> 0:05:49.779
<v Speaker 2>development with his young receivers.

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 3>Jake, we had a quarterback question from a texter early

0:05:53.380 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 3>in the show, Panther Cliff, and we said we'd ask

0:05:56.460 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 3>you about it because it's more about something that we

0:06:00.220 --> 0:06:01.860
<v Speaker 3>couldn't answer about padding.

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll give Jake the advantage on quarterback now. Slight advantage.

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.500
<v Speaker 3>He noticed or asked, is he padding the ball less,

0:06:08.540 --> 0:06:10.719
<v Speaker 3>and how much does that make a difference when Bryce

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:11.900
<v Speaker 3>has the ball before he throws?

0:06:13.010 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The padding of the ball thing. I think certain

0:06:15.300 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks have certain ticks that they do. Joe Montana padded

0:06:17.940 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 2>it every time he threw.

0:06:19.620 --> 0:06:19.940
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:06:19.980 --> 0:06:23.460
<v Speaker 2>Some guys kind of do that. I think Bryce is

0:06:23.500 --> 0:06:25.160
<v Speaker 2>doing a great job and I'll go back to the

0:06:25.220 --> 0:06:28.940
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta game. He maneuvered the defense with his shoulders. And

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.339
<v Speaker 2>what I mean by that, we'd have some play action faking.

0:06:31.700 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you remember the Atlanta game. We

0:06:33.820 --> 0:06:36.190
<v Speaker 2>hit some deep corner outs, like wide open. And the

0:06:36.250 --> 0:06:38.210
<v Speaker 2>corner would kind of– he'd come up and there was

0:06:38.230 --> 0:06:41.130
<v Speaker 2>this huge void. Well, Bryce was manipulating the defense with

0:06:41.170 --> 0:06:43.770
<v Speaker 2>his shoulders. He'd fake, he'd get his head around, and

0:06:43.810 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 2>he'd kind of like give that shoulder kind of turn, thinking–

0:06:47.690 --> 0:06:49.810
<v Speaker 2>and the DB's reading that. They're going off first movement.

0:06:50.010 --> 0:06:52.110
<v Speaker 2>And they're going to drive that he's– okay, I'm going

0:06:52.130 --> 0:06:54.180
<v Speaker 2>to the flat with the football. And Bryce would just

0:06:54.190 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of maneuver that way. And that's just starting to

0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.180
<v Speaker 2>get that quarterback play where you can kind of control–

0:07:00.470 --> 0:07:02.909
<v Speaker 2>or somewhat control what the defense is doing. It doesn't

0:07:02.950 --> 0:07:07.020
<v Speaker 2>happen every week, obviously, but you just, I just think

0:07:07.060 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 2>it's a rhythm, but he does such a great job,

0:07:08.980 --> 0:07:10.740
<v Speaker 2>even when he's stepping up in the pocket about the

0:07:10.780 --> 0:07:13.140
<v Speaker 2>two hands on the ball and he hasn't run a

0:07:13.180 --> 0:07:16.650
<v Speaker 2>ton this year. As we've seen before, he's such a

0:07:16.890 --> 0:07:20.190
<v Speaker 2>really good runner and he doesn't take these massive hits.

0:07:20.330 --> 0:07:23.010
<v Speaker 2>Certain people know how to just not get hit and

0:07:23.030 --> 0:07:24.670
<v Speaker 2>he knows how to kind of just slide off and

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.950
<v Speaker 2>When he steps up in the pocket, the eyes are downfield.

0:07:28.050 --> 0:07:31.070
<v Speaker 2>They're not, okay, it's running. Let me just see what

0:07:31.090 --> 0:07:33.130
<v Speaker 2>I can get. The eyes are downfield, and the ball

0:07:33.150 --> 0:07:36.730
<v Speaker 2>comes out immediately most of the time. So, listen, just

0:07:36.970 --> 0:07:41.020
<v Speaker 2>love the overall play, but how old is Bryce? I

0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.440
<v Speaker 2>should have known this. 25. Okay, so he just turned 25.

0:07:43.420 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:07:45.390 --> 0:07:49.020
<v Speaker 2>He's still, like someone I heard this week, the narrative about, man,

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 2>it's like his arm's gotten stronger. It's supposed to get stronger.

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.800
<v Speaker 2>He's 25. It wasn't like he's this big, mature kid.

0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 2>I told someone the other day, I weighed 195 pounds

0:08:00.940 --> 0:08:04.730
<v Speaker 2>as a senior in college. Within two years, I was

0:08:04.750 --> 0:08:08.110
<v Speaker 2>up to 228 pounds. It wasn't due to the lifting

0:08:08.150 --> 0:08:10.150
<v Speaker 2>and things like that. It was, I shaved more than

0:08:10.450 --> 0:08:13.590
<v Speaker 2>once every two weeks. I started to grow up. Like

0:08:13.630 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 2>you just, you grow up. And I think he's, and

0:08:16.830 --> 0:08:18.710
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what his weight is. Certainly he's never

0:08:18.770 --> 0:08:21.250
<v Speaker 2>going to be a big person, but he's getting stronger.

0:08:21.300 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Your body's getting stronger. That throw he made the TMAC

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 2>on the sideline with about three minutes left or two

0:08:26.420 --> 0:08:29.060
<v Speaker 2>and a half. That's just different. I mean, that's just,

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.070
<v Speaker 2>to step up in the pocket, like he did really

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.470
<v Speaker 2>outside the pocket and to throw it in that location

0:08:34.510 --> 0:08:37.250
<v Speaker 2>and that catch. But I just think that's time. It

0:08:37.290 --> 0:08:38.790
<v Speaker 2>comes with time. Yeah. Yeah.

0:08:38.950 --> 0:08:40.849
<v Speaker 1>No doubt. No doubt. And then we all want to

0:08:40.910 --> 0:08:43.250
<v Speaker 1>rush these guys, especially when they're number one, overall picks,

0:08:43.309 --> 0:08:46.110
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're.

0:08:44.929 --> 0:08:50.020
<v Speaker 2>I get it. I understand it, but like, don't you

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 2>think what the Raiders are doing this year? I like,

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.780
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what's going to happen with Mendoza down

0:08:54.820 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 2>the line, but is that not the perfect situation? I mean,

0:08:58.140 --> 0:09:01.740
<v Speaker 2>just think of John Kitten in Cincinnati, Carson Palmer, who was,

0:09:02.020 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 2>if you want to draw up what a quarterback should

0:09:03.620 --> 0:09:06.260
<v Speaker 2>look like, it's Carson Palmer. Well, he sat the whole year.

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.020
<v Speaker 2>You think of Patrick Mahomes and Patrick would say the

0:09:09.059 --> 0:09:12.210
<v Speaker 2>same thing. I would made me great was watching Alex Smith.

0:09:12.380 --> 0:09:14.410
<v Speaker 2>I learned how to prepare. So when it was my time,

0:09:14.450 --> 0:09:17.170
<v Speaker 2>I took over. And I understand I heard Peyton say

0:09:17.190 --> 0:09:19.290
<v Speaker 2>it many times. Peyton was like, no, I needed to play.

0:09:19.710 --> 0:09:23.150
<v Speaker 2>And maybe so. But I just think given some guys' time,

0:09:23.230 --> 0:09:25.109
<v Speaker 2>sometimes it takes a little bit.

0:09:25.309 --> 0:09:27.329
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that makes sense. Jake DeLome hanging out with us.

0:09:27.340 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>We're talking obviously a lot about Bryce because this is

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.380
<v Speaker 1>Jake's area of expertise. I want to ask you about

0:09:33.420 --> 0:09:38.300
<v Speaker 1>Brad Idzik because I certainly see that Bryce is getting

0:09:38.340 --> 0:09:42.530
<v Speaker 1>the ball downfield more. I mean, number one in deep completions. Um, his,

0:09:42.630 --> 0:09:46.150
<v Speaker 1>his intermediate passing. I mean, he's hitting, he's doubling more

0:09:46.170 --> 0:09:49.620
<v Speaker 1>than doubling Jake, the amount of completions per game from

0:09:49.620 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 1>10 yards on. Um, do you think that's Brett is Brad?

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.350
<v Speaker 1>It's expressing that. Is that something that it's a canalis

0:09:56.410 --> 0:09:58.969
<v Speaker 1>and bevel got together on during the, like, is this

0:09:59.050 --> 0:10:01.530
<v Speaker 1>intentional or is that just the growth of Bryce? He's

0:10:01.570 --> 0:10:03.750
<v Speaker 1>more comfortable letting it rip downfield.

0:10:04.170 --> 0:10:06.620
<v Speaker 2>I think, I think it all, it all factors in.

0:10:06.700 --> 0:10:10.320
<v Speaker 2>I think Dave, well, he has talked about that last year,

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 2>but I'll go back to this. I think it's smart

0:10:12.740 --> 0:10:16.190
<v Speaker 2>enough that Dave knew that He talks about it. Brad

0:10:16.230 --> 0:10:19.340
<v Speaker 2>and Coach Goodwin and Dave, they developed this offense, right?

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 2>So they were at the beginning when they were constructing,

0:10:22.050 --> 0:10:24.260
<v Speaker 2>you know, they were getting the foundation of this offense

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 2>that they run. Well, it got to a point where,

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:28.940
<v Speaker 2>you know what, Brad needs to take over. I got

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.490
<v Speaker 2>to be more of the head coach. And just think

0:10:31.530 --> 0:10:33.410
<v Speaker 2>about it. If you're the head coach and you're constantly

0:10:33.429 --> 0:10:35.270
<v Speaker 2>trying to think and call, and then the trainer comes

0:10:35.309 --> 0:10:39.170
<v Speaker 2>tap you on the shoulder. Hey, so-and-so's down. Hey, so-and-so's questionable. Hey,

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.540
<v Speaker 2>what are you thinking here? You know, special teams coach Dave,

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.100
<v Speaker 2>what you want to do here? What yard line you

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:47.699
<v Speaker 2>want to kick? Like, can you totally concentrate? And I

0:10:47.870 --> 0:10:50.350
<v Speaker 2>understand a lot of guys can do it, but for

0:10:50.390 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 2>me personally, how smart of it he would like, let, let,

0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 2>let Brad call it. He's with Bryce all the time.

0:10:56.900 --> 0:10:58.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm in there a lot, but then I have to

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.500
<v Speaker 2>go do injury meetings and I have to go do

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.980
<v Speaker 2>a personnel meeting and I have a coach's show. And

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.459
<v Speaker 2>I have like, I'm telling you guys, that's a lot.

0:11:05.620 --> 0:11:10.460
<v Speaker 2>And just, I just think the comfort level that Bryce has, um,

0:11:11.250 --> 0:11:14.590
<v Speaker 2>With Izzik, you're seeing it, right? I think you saw

0:11:14.610 --> 0:11:16.989
<v Speaker 2>it in the preseason. Everything built off everything else in

0:11:17.010 --> 0:11:19.359
<v Speaker 2>the preseason. We ran a good play, like a stretch

0:11:19.380 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 2>to the right, a nice run. We came with the

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.500
<v Speaker 2>boot back the other way. Things like that. It was

0:11:23.540 --> 0:11:25.439
<v Speaker 2>just kind of we tried to build off of it

0:11:25.860 --> 0:11:28.300
<v Speaker 2>each and every play. That's a credit to Canales for

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.589
<v Speaker 2>seeing it, but a credit to the players for performing

0:11:31.610 --> 0:11:33.510
<v Speaker 2>those plays, but Izzik for also calling it.

0:11:34.570 --> 0:11:37.350
<v Speaker 3>Jake, we were going down memory lane the other day

0:11:37.390 --> 0:11:41.970
<v Speaker 3>because TMAC was nine yards shy of tying Smitty for

0:11:42.010 --> 0:11:46.090
<v Speaker 3>the single game Panther receiving record the other day. Smitty

0:11:46.429 --> 0:11:48.840
<v Speaker 3>had 209 in the Fred Smoot rowboat game.

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.420
<v Speaker 2>Speaker 4 0 5 0. I couldn't remember what game

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.100
<v Speaker 2>they talked about it the other night. And I meant

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:58.180
<v Speaker 2>to go back and I couldn't, I couldn't remember what

0:11:58.220 --> 0:12:00.339
<v Speaker 2>he had in the playoff game against Chicago. I knew

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.380
<v Speaker 2>it was a good amount, but yes, I figured it

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:07.819
<v Speaker 2>was the, the, both the row, both.

0:12:06.380 --> 0:12:09.860
<v Speaker 3>The bears was the post-season record, but single season was

0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.290
<v Speaker 3>all right. Regular season was 201. Jake, do you have

0:12:13.790 --> 0:12:17.510
<v Speaker 3>either a favorite Smitty celebration that he did, or do

0:12:18.030 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 3>you have a favorite memory of what he just got

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.260
<v Speaker 3>in some guy's head that he completely wrecked that guy's day? Like,

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:23.990
<v Speaker 3>either one of those.

0:12:24.890 --> 0:12:46.250
<v Speaker 2>&lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt;.

0:12:45.770 --> 0:12:49.130
<v Speaker 1>&lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt;.

0:12:48.650 --> 0:12:54.900
<v Speaker 2>&lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt;

0:12:54.900 --> 0:12:59.570
<v Speaker 2>It was just... That team just... They just melted. And Smitty...

0:12:59.950 --> 0:13:04.040
<v Speaker 2>And that celebration to me was just one that only Smitty,

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:04.780
<v Speaker 2>only Smitty.

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:06.699
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, one of one, dude. I

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:08.500
<v Speaker 1>don't need to tell you. I mean, damn.

0:13:08.540 --> 0:13:10.560
<v Speaker 3>You gave up 201 and got rowboated.

0:13:10.580 --> 0:13:13.820
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's crazy. That's beautiful. Jake, before we let

0:13:13.860 --> 0:13:16.610
<v Speaker 1>you go, I want you to know that you are

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.510
<v Speaker 1>having influence over me. I'm starting to think like you.

0:13:20.170 --> 0:13:23.569
<v Speaker 1>After the TMAC– He doesn't want to hear that. I'm

0:13:23.590 --> 0:13:29.780
<v Speaker 1>becoming a Jake disciple, baby. After the TMAC– two-catch game

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>where he ran into Denzel Ward a lot, and I

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:35.730
<v Speaker 1>kind of thought, man, they should have moved him into

0:13:35.770 --> 0:13:37.530
<v Speaker 1>Slotmore to get him away from Ward and all this stuff.

0:13:37.990 --> 0:13:41.900
<v Speaker 1>But I conjured up your Dan Henning theory on Smitty.

0:13:42.460 --> 0:13:46.540
<v Speaker 1>feed the stud right and and i and i said

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 1>last week i have a feeling it'll be a feed

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.939
<v Speaker 1>the stud game with t-mac i didn't realize it'd be

0:13:50.940 --> 0:13:52.380
<v Speaker 1>14 for 192 but so.

0:13:53.890 --> 0:13:56.810
<v Speaker 2>So we do like keys to the game before we

0:13:56.850 --> 0:13:59.710
<v Speaker 2>do the radio right and um i always either do

0:13:59.770 --> 0:14:02.069
<v Speaker 2>offense and luke will do the defense well luke wasn't

0:14:02.110 --> 0:14:04.050
<v Speaker 2>calling this game so i had a couple of them

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:08.160
<v Speaker 2>well my number one was like get team back involved early.

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 2>That was always our game plan. Get submitted the ball

0:14:10.260 --> 0:14:12.719
<v Speaker 2>in the first drop, hopefully the first play it just

0:14:12.780 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 2>cause it made our team better. But I just finished

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:20.020
<v Speaker 2>watching CD lamb catch 17 passes. And the more you

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.660
<v Speaker 2>think about it and I have this in gray, it just,

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.680
<v Speaker 2>it's engraved in my brain from Mike McCarthy when he

0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.020
<v Speaker 2>was the quarterback coach for the Kansas city chiefs, when

0:14:29.060 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Joe Montana was there, They asked Joe, Joe, what do

0:14:32.450 --> 0:14:34.210
<v Speaker 2>you want to call here? It was in a red

0:14:34.250 --> 0:14:37.609
<v Speaker 2>zone and a crucial time playoff game. And Joe was like,

0:14:38.090 --> 0:14:42.280
<v Speaker 2>you call it. I'll do it. But just don't forget, play.

0:14:42.780 --> 0:14:44.940
<v Speaker 2>We got to feature the players. Don't worry about the play.

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.860
<v Speaker 2>It's the players. And that's what you give your players

0:14:47.940 --> 0:14:51.430
<v Speaker 2>a chance. I mean, that's. I don't know. That's why

0:14:51.460 --> 0:14:53.780
<v Speaker 2>some of these guys are just better than others. You

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.660
<v Speaker 2>just give them a chance to make a play, and

0:14:55.730 --> 0:14:56.350
<v Speaker 2>usually they do.

0:14:56.550 --> 0:14:58.950
<v Speaker 1>I like that. I like that. Jake, always fun catching

0:14:58.990 --> 0:15:01.500
<v Speaker 1>up with you, man. Be good. Keep enjoying this season,

0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and thanks for coming on.

0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:05.570
<v Speaker 2>Anytime, guys. Have a great weekend.

0:15:05.590 --> 0:15:07.109
<v Speaker 1>You too. There you go. That is Jake DeLome.
