WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Hour 4: Fixing the Panthers 0:00:13.700 --> 0:00:16.200 He's not giving the play a chance because he's too 0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:18.439 quick with his drop. He's too quick off of it 0:00:18.739 --> 0:00:21.079 and he's missing opportunities. And again, I'm not saying it 0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:23.800 happens every time because he's making a lot of plays. 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.540 But when he misses things like this, a lot of 0:00:27.620 --> 0:00:30.700 it is because of the footwork and not being clean 0:00:30.740 --> 0:00:33.780 with his footwork and getting back and getting set and 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.660 timing it up with his routes. So he can make 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.300 big plays down the field. So just something to pay 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.500 attention to with Bryce Young. It's been a theme throughout 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:44.900 his career. I feel like at times he's gotten better. 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.380 But now I see him back to kind of the short, 0:00:47.780 --> 0:00:51.100 hoppy drops. And it's messing up his ability to set 0:00:51.150 --> 0:00:54.150 his feet and throw. And it's messing up the way 0:00:54.190 --> 0:00:57.530 that things work around him to allow the offense, the 0:00:57.630 --> 0:01:00.290 offensive line, the pocket to work in his favor. 0:01:01.630 --> 0:01:02.840 That is Kurt Warner. 0:01:03.350 --> 0:01:06.300 We're talking about what needs to be changed in order 0:01:06.340 --> 0:01:11.420 for the Panthers to get that mojo back. Kurt Warner 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.319 would like to see Bryce Young change some things there. 0:01:13.340 --> 0:01:18.929 That's from Kurt Warner's study ball video series. And we 0:01:18.970 --> 0:01:21.670 do know, Bone, that when Bryce Young has struggled in 0:01:21.690 --> 0:01:24.410 the past, footwork has been a thing. 0:01:25.410 --> 0:01:27.730 Um, it is, it has been a, something that has 0:01:27.750 --> 0:01:28.220 been a problem. 0:01:28.230 --> 0:01:31.580 And it sounds like Kurt thinks that under the pressure 0:01:31.620 --> 0:01:35.300 he's been under lately, he is reverting back to some 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.520 of those habits. And I play that because not to 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.490 invigorate the Bryce shouters, doubters, and haters on the text line, 0:01:42.550 --> 0:01:45.289 although I'm sure it could do that. But I, I, 0:01:45.569 --> 0:01:47.430 I say that I play that bone to give us 0:01:47.450 --> 0:01:52.030 some context on, yeah, Bryce is not handling it well 0:01:52.090 --> 0:01:55.640 right now. I believe the root cause is the old 0:01:55.700 --> 0:02:00.690 lines performance. But Bryce Young is not handling it necessarily 0:02:01.150 --> 0:02:02.970 the way he did, Bone, I would say in the 0:02:03.010 --> 0:02:05.490 first five games even when he was under pressure. 0:02:05.530 --> 0:02:08.210 There has to be a correlation of the pressure gets 0:02:08.270 --> 0:02:11.760 to him. It messes with him mentally. He's not seeing 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.100 the field as well. So then, Mac, the fundamentals are 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.980 going away. The footwork's going away because he's starting to feel, 0:02:19.020 --> 0:02:22.200 he's starting to see things. When he's confident and he 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.559 trusts the offensive line, that's when we're getting those big-time 0:02:25.580 --> 0:02:29.430 Bryce performances. When the offensive line breaks down to the 0:02:29.470 --> 0:02:32.210 point it is, when it's starting to go a negative way, 0:02:32.230 --> 0:02:34.950 I think Bryce starts to rush it a little bit, 0:02:35.310 --> 0:02:37.510 and that's when the footwork really starts to go away. 0:02:37.790 --> 0:02:38.970 So I understand what he's saying. 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:43.400 It is weird, though, because for the first five games, 0:02:43.740 --> 0:02:46.920 he was the most pressured quarterback, but he also was 0:02:46.980 --> 0:02:50.169 leading the league in yards per game. He was overcoming it. 0:02:50.820 --> 0:02:54.350 Now the pressure's getting there quicker in the last two games. 0:02:55.010 --> 0:02:57.290 It's getting there with four-man rushes. 0:02:56.970 --> 0:03:00.370 A lot, three-man rushes. They had a sack on a 0:03:00.389 --> 0:03:03.370 three-man rush Thursday night, and Tampa had one, too. So 0:03:03.410 --> 0:03:05.190 it's like guys are back in coverage. 0:03:06.070 --> 0:03:08.650 Does the footwork get out of whack if his knee's 0:03:08.690 --> 0:03:10.670 not feeling right also? Well, that's another thing, too. He 0:03:10.710 --> 0:03:13.210 doesn't seem to be able to escape as freely. 0:03:13.270 --> 0:03:15.910 He gets out of there quickly. He's fine. Whereas in 0:03:15.930 --> 0:03:17.310 the past, he made a play. 0:03:17.900 --> 0:03:21.019 I went backbone and watched the game because I hate myself, 0:03:21.380 --> 0:03:23.560 but I went back and I watched the game on 0:03:23.620 --> 0:03:24.179 Sunday night. 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.940 Cause I'm like, that was so matter of fact, let. 0:03:27.820 --> 0:03:31.220 Me see good, bad, ugly. And I watched that dry bone, 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:32.240 the drive in. 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:33.800 The second half. I mean the drive. 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.480 And he made some plays there, got it out quick 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:39.480 over the middle, set guys up with yards. 0:03:39.500 --> 0:03:41.220 You have to catch. He made a play where he 0:03:41.490 --> 0:03:42.970 actually finally. 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.830 Got out, escaped the pocket to the right quickly and 0:03:45.950 --> 0:03:48.490 made a play that um, to Darren Waller. 0:03:48.510 --> 0:03:51.430 And it's like, he's got to hit that eject button quicker. 0:03:51.490 --> 0:03:54.710 If you're not as quick because of your knee, you 0:03:54.770 --> 0:03:56.670 might have to hit it a little quicker and get 0:03:56.690 --> 0:03:59.310 the heck out of there. I don't know, man, we're 0:03:59.350 --> 0:04:02.110 all just spit balling, but we all have the same interest. 0:04:02.150 --> 0:04:04.670 We want are Panthers. 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.820 To try to win this very winnable division, still leading 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.700 by a half game. But they've got to turn so 0:04:10.740 --> 0:04:14.430 much around. Their first move, obviously, Bone, was the Avero move. 0:04:14.910 --> 0:04:17.789 And Todd Walsh has a pretty good D coordinator resume, 0:04:18.290 --> 0:04:20.409 but he's not Doug Henning. 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:21.440 You know what I mean? 0:04:21.450 --> 0:04:25.289 He's not David Copperfield. Those are the only magicians I know. 0:04:25.370 --> 0:04:26.010 David Blaine. 0:04:26.089 --> 0:04:26.409 That's it. 0:04:26.430 --> 0:04:29.300 That's all I got. He can't work magic. 0:04:29.700 --> 0:04:32.380 You got your guy Penn and Teller. 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.479 Penn and Teller. There you go. Which one? He was 0:04:34.500 --> 0:04:37.700 the quiet one? That is Teller, I think. Yeah, you're 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:42.950 not him. The little guy? You're Penn. I'm Teller. What 0:04:42.990 --> 0:04:46.930 do you think? Mac Weatherman, Mark, again. He got ideas 0:04:46.990 --> 0:04:49.450 or is he just complaining? Upset with us. Oh, no. 0:04:49.470 --> 0:04:52.570 We are part of the Bryce hating problem. Don't we 0:04:52.610 --> 0:04:54.830 get called Bryce Homers like 50 times a day? 0:04:55.210 --> 0:04:55.489 Yes. 0:04:55.770 --> 0:04:57.800 So what in the world is Mark listening to? 0:04:57.810 --> 0:04:59.219 What's it not like? 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.400 All we're doing is trying to figure out what's gone 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.180 wrong here. We play Kurt Warner audio. Where exactly do 0:05:04.220 --> 0:05:07.240 we hate on Bryce when we said his confidence is 0:05:07.300 --> 0:05:10.200 low because the offensive line has been terrible and his 0:05:10.260 --> 0:05:12.080 mechanics are out of whack and maybe his knee has 0:05:12.100 --> 0:05:15.420 something to do with that. Where is that hating on Bryce? 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.830 We're trying to figure out why he has not performed 0:05:17.870 --> 0:05:19.789 as well the last couple of games. We can't say 0:05:19.830 --> 0:05:21.789 that he's performed great the last couple of games because 0:05:21.810 --> 0:05:22.210 he hasn't. 0:05:22.290 --> 0:05:24.309 I mean, I don't think you can put it just 100% 0:05:24.310 --> 0:05:26.710 on the O-line. He hasn't been handling the pressure well. 0:05:27.010 --> 0:05:29.620 Listen to what Mark says on this text. Weatherman Mark says, 0:05:29.660 --> 0:05:32.160 you guys are full of bleep. You keep adding to 0:05:32.180 --> 0:05:35.880 the freaking Bryce hating problem. Bryce is not the freaking problem. 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:36.540 Get over it. 0:05:36.620 --> 0:05:40.350 And Kurt Warner is a dumbass. You guys keep feeding 0:05:40.370 --> 0:05:41.120 this crap. 0:05:40.930 --> 0:05:45.250 Every show, that Bryce is the whole problem, and this 0:05:45.330 --> 0:05:49.270 is BS, dude. We had a whole argument on Friday because— There's. 0:05:49.110 --> 0:05:52.650 Something dumb involved here, and it's not us. First of all, Kurt. 0:05:52.430 --> 0:05:55.370 Warner's a football dumbass, Mark. What does that make the 0:05:55.430 --> 0:06:00.300 rest of us? Secondly, you're right, Bone. On Friday— All 0:06:00.380 --> 0:06:05.100 the Bryce bashers were circling us like buzzards trying to 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.320 tell us we're defending Bryce too much. We, we won't 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.930 give him any blame. We're trying to be fair about it. 0:06:11.710 --> 0:06:15.200 Clearly he's not handling it the best, but the root cause, 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.760 the majority of the blame is the O-line. Why does 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.060 that have to cause a grown man to throw a 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:20.620 hissy fit? 0:06:21.100 --> 0:06:23.920 I don't get it. Weatherman Mark is all over the place. 0:06:24.140 --> 0:06:27.440 This is why I struggle with communication with Mark, because 0:06:27.980 --> 0:06:31.660 he's either like really positive, like way on one side, 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:35.300 or he's way negative. And I never know. Whatever answer 0:06:35.339 --> 0:06:37.400 I give him, it's not the right answer. So I've 0:06:37.430 --> 0:06:39.330 decided I don't answer that many times. 0:06:40.470 --> 0:06:43.210 Big Cat Dan says the book since last season is 0:06:43.230 --> 0:06:45.330 to keep Bryce in the pocket. It needs to scheme 0:06:45.370 --> 0:06:48.570 him out when defenses are trying to do that. Yeah, 0:06:48.589 --> 0:06:51.240 I almost feel like, Bo, we talked about this on Friday, 0:06:51.300 --> 0:06:55.180 somehow still got called Bryce Homer's an apologist. But I said, 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.120 I think you can see he gets jittery, right? 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.260 He's feeling pressure before it's there on some of these plays. 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.450 It's in his head. How can it not be? This happens. 0:07:04.690 --> 0:07:06.930 Tom Brady, I've seen, I saw the Panthers do it 0:07:06.970 --> 0:07:09.190 to Tom Brady one time at the state. Like, there 0:07:09.230 --> 0:07:11.480 are games where when he's under siege, Mahomes in a 0:07:11.500 --> 0:07:11.940 Super Bowl. 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:13.780 And it just gets in their head. 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.700 I mean, there's that image of Aaron Rodgers back with 0:07:16.740 --> 0:07:21.110 his helmet on sideways. Bryce hasn't had that happen yet. 0:07:21.830 --> 0:07:24.150 So Big Cat Dan, I said this Friday too, I 0:07:24.190 --> 0:07:26.690 like the idea of booting him out more. Just moving 0:07:26.730 --> 0:07:29.620 the pocket and getting him outside. What are some things? 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.600 I'd like to lean more on the run game, Bone. 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.119 I think if you can get the run game going, 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:35.690 and I think Chuba's up for it. 0:07:36.820 --> 0:07:37.720 He is a battler. 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.690 I think if we can get this run game going 0:07:41.790 --> 0:07:44.950 early in games... And then be in second and medium. 0:07:44.990 --> 0:07:47.550 Be in third and short. And not be in third 0:07:47.590 --> 0:07:51.030 and longs. You're in third and long with this offensive line. 0:07:51.090 --> 0:07:54.420 You are screwed, man. But I think there's something there 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:55.220 in the run game. 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.540 If the offensive line was playing at a higher level, 0:07:58.860 --> 0:08:02.120 I swear to you. I would probably bring up Jonathan 0:08:02.140 --> 0:08:04.840 Taylor more often than we brought him up here. Just 0:08:05.740 --> 0:08:09.100 to go full, not Buccaneers run game, Mac, like they're doing, 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.980 but a Chuba-Taylor combo, I wouldn't necessarily hate that. But 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:17.030 the offensive line is playing so poor now that I 0:08:17.060 --> 0:08:18.990 would hate for us to make a trade for someone 0:08:19.030 --> 0:08:21.410 like that and really add to the run game. And 0:08:21.430 --> 0:08:23.450 then the offensive line just doesn't allow us to get 0:08:23.490 --> 0:08:25.970 the most out of that. It's intriguing to me. I'm 0:08:26.010 --> 0:08:28.370 not saying they would do that, but it certainly intrigues 0:08:28.390 --> 0:08:29.050 me to some degree. 0:08:29.810 --> 0:08:31.330 Yeah, I'm not sure. 0:08:31.510 --> 0:08:33.939 I mean, are there other positions we would– I mean, 0:08:34.100 --> 0:08:35.979 O-line would be a nice one to make a trade for. 0:08:36.020 --> 0:08:38.880 I know people keep bringing up Powers Johnson. He's had 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.740 a rough year in his third year, but he was 0:08:40.780 --> 0:08:44.110 a day-two draft pick as an interior lineman out there 0:08:44.130 --> 0:08:45.829 with the Raiders now. 0:08:47.530 --> 0:08:48.330 I'm thinking smaller. 0:08:48.390 --> 0:08:51.949 I'm thinking get me Brooks back and just use him 0:08:51.990 --> 0:08:55.300 in the pass game. Run screens to alleviate the pressure. 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:55.720 Yeah. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.500 Give Bryce a quick option out in space in Jonathan Brooks. 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.880 I'm a little less lofty, but I get what you're 0:09:01.900 --> 0:09:05.390 saying because you do have to get, you have to 0:09:05.429 --> 0:09:06.090 lean more. 0:09:05.929 --> 0:09:08.690 On the run game. You have to. If they can't 0:09:08.730 --> 0:09:11.490 run the football and you become, you. 0:09:11.410 --> 0:09:14.740 Know, past-centric, these teams are going to tee off on 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.939 Bryce Eman. Powers Johnson sounds like a Phitty alias. 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.530 Panther Phit, how the hell can Canales and company turn 0:09:24.550 --> 0:09:25.590 this thing around, Phit? 0:09:26.010 --> 0:09:26.570 What are you thinking? 0:09:27.350 --> 0:09:30.170 Yeah, pray might be the first thing they got. 0:09:30.090 --> 0:09:30.770 To start doing. 0:09:30.790 --> 0:09:31.489 Oh, no. 0:09:31.630 --> 0:09:36.130 Because, Mac, like, I came in on Friday, and I 0:09:36.230 --> 0:09:38.630 was in a really good spot coming off the loss 0:09:38.860 --> 0:09:41.559 to Green Bay. And then we did the show Friday, 0:09:41.580 --> 0:09:47.340 did the show yesterday, and maybe because I worked with Flounder, who, 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.600 I mean, just gave me nothing positive to think about 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:54.300 with my football team, it feels very bleak. Like, I 0:09:54.340 --> 0:09:58.660 don't know if their issues are correctable. And that's a 0:09:58.730 --> 0:09:59.810 real sad place to be. 0:10:00.270 --> 0:10:00.939 As a fan. 0:10:01.059 --> 0:10:04.900 Boom, Panther Fitty. We lost Panther Fitty here, man. Tar 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:06.760 Heel Fitty's on the ropes after last night. 0:10:07.570 --> 0:10:10.260 Sorry, I'm texting back. Panther City's on the canvas. 0:10:10.340 --> 0:10:12.900 Sorry, I'm distracted. I'm texting back Ice-T right now about 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:13.360 the election. 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.730 Yeah, make sure you correspond with him. I got Petey 0:10:16.750 --> 0:10:17.830 Pablo texting me. 0:10:17.990 --> 0:10:22.770 I don't think this is real Ice-T from SVU. Oh, man. 0:10:23.410 --> 0:10:26.520 All right. Sorry, go ahead. Fitty, we have lost you, man. 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.000 This is sad. There's got to be, you got nothing. 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.460 You got nothing to even try, Fitty. Like to me, 0:10:32.740 --> 0:10:34.320 give me Sam Hecht at center. 0:10:34.740 --> 0:10:37.380 Give me Brady Christensen at one of the tackle spots 0:10:37.820 --> 0:10:40.400 and get me Fortner and Rasheed Walker on the pine. 0:10:41.380 --> 0:10:44.140 Like try, you got to go down swinging. 0:10:44.900 --> 0:10:45.840 That's the thing, right? 0:10:45.860 --> 0:10:46.930 You've got to go down and swing it. 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.120 It's no guarantee to produce great results, but you've got 0:10:50.140 --> 0:10:51.370 to try things, don't you? 0:10:51.610 --> 0:10:53.189 You made a coordinator change. 0:10:53.250 --> 0:10:56.190 That signals that there's a sense of urgency, that there's 0:10:56.250 --> 0:10:59.430 pressure here. Like Dave Canales is feeling the pressure. You 0:10:59.450 --> 0:11:02.270 don't see those types of moves unless you're not. 0:11:02.790 --> 0:11:03.589 Can he push? 0:11:03.870 --> 0:11:05.630 We're going to learn a lot about Dave Canales over 0:11:05.670 --> 0:11:07.270 the final two months of the regular season. 0:11:07.790 --> 0:11:09.620 Can he push the right buttons? 0:11:10.309 --> 0:11:12.850 To get this thing fixed because Mac, this is like, 0:11:12.890 --> 0:11:14.969 this is why you gave up play calling duties is 0:11:14.990 --> 0:11:18.250 to be able to manage your football team better on 0:11:18.290 --> 0:11:20.150 a day-to-day basis. You don't have to worry about putting 0:11:20.170 --> 0:11:22.760 together a game plan. He was willing to make a 0:11:23.270 --> 0:11:27.340 coordinator change that probably should have been made, but didn't 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.000 have to be made at the point in the season. 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.300 He went ahead and made it hopefully this weekend while 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.420 he was, you know, locked up in the building, which 0:11:34.460 --> 0:11:36.820 I'm glad to hear that they found something that they 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:38.960 think they can work on this week in practice and, 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.140 and they could get this thing turned around on Sunday. 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.300 But you got nothing. But you got nothing. Finney said, Coach, 0:11:44.340 --> 0:11:45.800 good luck. I got nothing for you. 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:47.530 Well, I have a serious idea, Mac. You know the 0:11:47.590 --> 0:11:49.550 schoolyard move, and we would see it in the Little 0:11:49.610 --> 0:11:52.890 Rascals when someone gets down in the schoolyard and they 0:11:52.950 --> 0:11:55.470 push someone over? Like the other guy doesn't know the 0:11:55.510 --> 0:11:57.670 person's down there on all fours? Can we try that 0:11:57.690 --> 0:12:00.929 with the offensive line at some point? Like maybe Stone Forsythe, Mac, 0:12:00.980 --> 0:12:03.559 sneaks by, and then Rasheed Walker pushes the guy over. 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:04.880 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.179 We all hands on deck here, my friend. Thomas says, 0:12:08.300 --> 0:12:11.560 I'm desperate, boys. I put Stone Forsythe in at one 0:12:11.580 --> 0:12:15.420 of the tackle spots. I went Brady Christensen, but there's 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.360 no dumb answers. When it comes to the O-line right now, 0:12:18.780 --> 0:12:21.720 it is that bad that I feel like trying anything 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.540 is worth considering. Panther Bo says he's with Finney. This 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:29.440 team has killed his Panther ego right now. John says, 0:12:29.500 --> 0:12:32.620 Mack on here asking, like, Canales got about 15 buttons 0:12:32.660 --> 0:12:35.760 to push. When you got this O-line... When you got 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.070 that cornerback injury situation, maybe you're just screwed. 0:12:39.090 --> 0:12:40.730 But if he thought they were screwed, would they have, 0:12:40.990 --> 0:12:43.050 would they have fired a zero of arrow? 0:12:43.450 --> 0:12:46.929 But zero of arrow is, is, is also probably something 0:12:46.970 --> 0:12:49.010 that he can point to and say, I'm trying. 0:12:49.730 --> 0:12:52.150 Right? I'm feeling heat, but I am trying. 0:12:52.410 --> 0:12:55.849 Someone thinks that Panther Phinney is sad because this would 0:12:55.870 --> 0:12:57.849 be where he goes back to the Cowboys, but they're 0:12:57.870 --> 0:12:59.850 worse than the Panthers are right now. 0:12:59.870 --> 0:13:01.310 Man's got no options, baby. 0:13:01.530 --> 0:13:03.810 We're not doing that, Mac. I may be down and 0:13:03.850 --> 0:13:05.500 I may be out. I'm still picking them to win 0:13:05.550 --> 0:13:09.819 on Friday. They're still going to beat the Broncos. 0:13:09.860 --> 0:13:10.660 There's our guy. 0:13:10.700 --> 0:13:12.500 Have you ever considered maybe going the other way? 0:13:13.500 --> 0:13:15.520 This is as close as I've ever been to picking 0:13:15.540 --> 0:13:16.010 the opponent. 0:13:16.070 --> 0:13:18.850 Maybe shake it up. Maybe we all pick against him. 0:13:18.870 --> 0:13:20.790 The first time is not going to be Sean Payton 0:13:20.830 --> 0:13:22.220 and the team that beat us in Super Bowl. 0:13:22.100 --> 0:13:22.679 50, though. 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.060 Maybe the following week. Of all times for that bum. 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.940 for that punchable face having bum to come in here. 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.000 I'm catching some flack. 0:13:29.740 --> 0:13:30.160 Here, Bo. 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.540 People are very, I can tell it's hurting you. People 0:13:33.590 --> 0:13:37.110 are very triggered by me suggesting Brooks in the passing 0:13:37.150 --> 0:13:39.570 game could be part of the solution. I've been told 0:13:39.630 --> 0:13:42.590 he is done. I've been told it's over for Brooks. 0:13:42.690 --> 0:13:45.809 Give it up, Mac. This dude said Mac clinging to 0:13:46.450 --> 0:13:51.750 Jonathan Brooks is the saddest thing I've heard yet. How 0:13:51.790 --> 0:13:52.730 do you feel. 0:13:52.550 --> 0:13:53.210 About that, Bo? 0:13:53.929 --> 0:13:56.390 We're about one injury away from Brooks is done. 0:13:57.230 --> 0:13:58.910 Brooks is done. But I was like, let me get 0:13:58.950 --> 0:13:59.910 in the joke first. 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.920 I mean, it's hard because we still haven't seen him. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.620 But at some point, I mean, it's just never going 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.160 to be what it is. But I'm not ready to 0:14:08.220 --> 0:14:11.260 say no yet. Let's see him get one more run here. Yeah, 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:12.929 what do we got to lose? And see if he 0:14:12.950 --> 0:14:15.689 gets sustained success. I mean, yeah, we're a... We're a 0:14:15.770 --> 0:14:20.490 city that saw Thomas Davis come back from the football 0:14:20.570 --> 0:14:23.890 dead and have a near Hall of Fame career. So 0:14:23.930 --> 0:14:26.490 let's just see what he has, not give up on 0:14:26.530 --> 0:14:29.090 the guy. It's getting close, Matt, to the point of, 0:14:29.170 --> 0:14:31.370 all right, well, what is he? But we haven't even 0:14:31.390 --> 0:14:33.510 seen him really get going yet to evaluate him just 0:14:33.590 --> 0:14:36.250 as a player in general. I mean, his body keeps 0:14:36.270 --> 0:14:37.910 betraying him. We don't even know what he can do still. 0:14:37.950 --> 0:14:42.910 Like when Dave Canales says that he is, could be active, 0:14:42.930 --> 0:14:44.910 the 21-day window could be activated here. 0:14:45.650 --> 0:14:47.740 He said it about XL too. Notice I'm not mentioned 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:48.200 in XL. 0:14:48.860 --> 0:14:51.000 Like I don't even know Bone with, because of the, 0:14:51.140 --> 0:14:53.080 the limits on the amount of guys they can bring 0:14:53.100 --> 0:14:55.840 back from IR. I'm not even sure it's prudent. Cause 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:57.040 you know, Mike, Jack and Horn are going to be 0:14:57.060 --> 0:14:59.000 used and they're starting to get to the bottom of it. 0:14:59.340 --> 0:15:02.140 I would bring back Brooks before XL. I, and I'm 0:15:02.180 --> 0:15:04.360 not even talking about, I'm not acting like he's got 0:15:04.380 --> 0:15:06.260 to play like he's Franco Harris and grind the ball 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:06.760 up the gut. 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.870 I'm just talking about when you're trying to Bone. 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.690 Deal with pressure and get the ball out quick to 0:15:12.710 --> 0:15:14.870 weapons and Maybe getting him in space. 0:15:14.990 --> 0:15:18.390 If we're desperate, I don't understand why that's not worth 0:15:18.450 --> 0:15:18.890 a try. 0:15:19.230 --> 0:15:21.430 I'm not on here guaranteeing you he's going to beat 0:15:21.470 --> 0:15:24.870 a Cal Ripken of football. He's going to beat a J.J. 0:15:24.890 --> 0:15:27.130 Jansen of running backs. I'm just saying it's worth a 0:15:27.170 --> 0:15:30.150 try to use him in that way. Yeah, like you're saying, 0:15:30.190 --> 0:15:32.470 what do you have to lose? Finney, do you have 0:15:32.510 --> 0:15:36.620 a friend named Bears Brian Finney? Not that I'm aware of. 0:15:36.710 --> 0:15:38.710 Why? He sent in a text that you called him 0:15:38.750 --> 0:15:40.720 last night on the way back from Chapel Hill asking 0:15:41.170 --> 0:15:42.980 if there's any room on the Bears bandwagon. 0:15:43.700 --> 0:15:43.820 Oh! 0:15:44.220 --> 0:15:46.040 We're not doing this. Panther Finney! 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:48.840 I don't want to believe it, but did you make it? 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:49.660 I hate the Bears. 0:15:49.740 --> 0:15:50.760 Let me see your phone, Finney. 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.630 Finney's turning over his phone like it's like Bone's an 0:15:56.670 --> 0:15:58.010 investigator here or something. 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:01.980 Are you looking for Bears Brian in the calls? 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.280 You called a man named Brian at 11.04 p.m. last night. 0:16:04.620 --> 0:16:09.240 Oh, fitty, damn. That's not true. 0:16:09.260 --> 0:16:13.180 Don't you go lying about me. 0:16:13.980 --> 0:16:14.960 Oh, my God. 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.850 This texter says, Mac, are y'all not getting text about 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.290 how Todd Walsh is going to change everything on the 0:16:21.310 --> 0:16:24.330 defense and lead this team to a division title? I 0:16:24.370 --> 0:16:28.630 thought the Avero haters would be fired up. Something interesting 0:16:28.690 --> 0:16:33.210 has happened here, Bo. People have not exactly been filled 0:16:33.250 --> 0:16:35.530 with all this confidence because Averro's gone. 0:16:35.590 --> 0:16:36.070 You know what I mean? 0:16:36.730 --> 0:16:39.890 I think they realize that Todd Walsh ran the defensive line. 0:16:39.910 --> 0:16:44.490 That's also been part of these run games. It is 0:16:44.530 --> 0:16:45.410 kind of true. 0:16:45.570 --> 0:16:47.650 I would have thought y'all were so down on Averro 0:16:47.690 --> 0:16:50.700 that you thought any human being, much less a guy 0:16:50.740 --> 0:16:54.000 like Todd Walsh, who's had three top 10 defenses as 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.880 a coordinator in this league, It really hasn't been like, oh, 0:16:57.900 --> 0:16:59.590 Todd Walsh is going to run a 4-3. 0:16:59.920 --> 0:17:01.640 Todd Walsh is going to do this and that. There 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:02.900 hasn't been a lot of that. 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.120 Well, I think some of the fans thought, oh, maybe 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.080 Sean McDermott comes in for the year. There were some 0:17:07.100 --> 0:17:10.439 people that really thought that. So I tried to explain 0:17:10.460 --> 0:17:14.570 to people, Shaquille Bartle, that just because you fire the 0:17:14.590 --> 0:17:18.149 coach doesn't mean that schematically everything's going to change. Players 0:17:18.210 --> 0:17:21.889 aren't changing. Not within the season. So, yes, if you fire– 0:17:22.050 --> 0:17:24.149 there's not a– They were saying the other day, Matt, 0:17:24.170 --> 0:17:26.550 there's actually not a ton of coordinators in the league. 0:17:26.570 --> 0:17:30.270 They're actually fired during the seasons, less than you think, 0:17:30.550 --> 0:17:32.949 because it doesn't really ultimately change a whole lot to 0:17:32.970 --> 0:17:33.690 do it within the season. 0:17:34.650 --> 0:17:36.910 No, there's only one I can think of. Baltimore made 0:17:36.930 --> 0:17:39.119 an OC change, went to Cam Cameron, they went to 0:17:39.130 --> 0:17:42.879 the Super Bowl. But that's off the top of my head. 0:17:43.340 --> 0:17:46.680 But like OC or DC change and you go. 0:17:47.830 --> 0:17:49.310 Make a run? Like, you know what I mean? 0:17:49.369 --> 0:17:52.350 I don't feel like it's a normal thing. Because it 0:17:52.369 --> 0:17:54.709 goes back to what the goal... Well, I don't think 0:17:54.730 --> 0:17:57.250 it was... I was giving Junior credit for what Senior said. 0:17:57.270 --> 0:17:59.410 I think it goes back to what Golik Senior said 0:18:00.340 --> 0:18:04.619 on Friday. Says you can change philosophy, but you can't 0:18:04.700 --> 0:18:06.940 change the scheme in the middle of the season like that. 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:10.080 There's only so much you can really change. Like, people 0:18:10.100 --> 0:18:12.400 want to go to a 4-3, but... A, I don't 0:18:12.420 --> 0:18:13.659 think we're going to see that. Although I have to 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:15.690 be honest with you, we do have three starting caliber 0:18:15.710 --> 0:18:19.169
