WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Hour 3: Panthering Up??? 0:00:03.510 --> 0:00:07.050 Oh, oh, oh, it's Mac and Bo on your radio, baby. 0:00:07.090 --> 0:00:10.760 This is my friend Matt. Posh, come on, Posh. This 0:00:10.789 --> 0:00:13.620 is my friend T-Bone. 0:00:13.900 --> 0:00:14.780 Let's have some fun. 0:00:14.900 --> 0:00:18.239 I can't go to work without listening to Mac and Bone. 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:18.840 Do it live. 0:00:29.540 --> 0:00:30.100 It's focus. 0:00:30.300 --> 0:00:33.500 It's intentionality. It's understanding that all the little things matter. And, 0:00:34.300 --> 0:00:36.720 you know, the game, when I think about the turnovers 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:38.400 and different things like that, it all comes down to 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:43.870 fundamental football. And that's controllable. That's something that we certainly 0:00:43.930 --> 0:00:47.010 can focus on. And the refocus to coming into a 0:00:47.050 --> 0:00:49.449 new week is, look, we just got to recapture our process. 0:00:49.490 --> 0:00:52.409 We got to work on our fundamentals, our identification, our 0:00:52.430 --> 0:00:55.870 alignments on the defensive side, special teams wise, being in 0:00:55.890 --> 0:00:58.920 the right spots in the coverage unit. The return certainly 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.930 securing the ball, all those things. So it returns, it's humbling, 0:01:03.330 --> 0:01:05.990 and it returns us to a focus about what matters. 0:01:06.350 --> 0:01:09.690 It's the littlest things. It's the fundamentals of football. And 0:01:10.330 --> 0:01:13.150 so that gives me an opportunity to really press into 0:01:13.209 --> 0:01:15.150 it and really challenge the guys. And today was a 0:01:15.190 --> 0:01:17.190 great example of that, a great response by the guys, 0:01:17.730 --> 0:01:19.170 being very conscientious in what we're doing. 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.080 That is Coach Canales asked about the tenor of the 0:01:24.140 --> 0:01:28.110 locker room this week as they try to pull themselves 0:01:28.170 --> 0:01:33.509 back together, get themselves together tonight, primetime, literally primetime, on 0:01:33.550 --> 0:01:37.440 prime tonight. Um, uh, Panthers and Packers, they've got a 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.120 chance to rebound a chance to not completely erase. I'm 0:01:41.140 --> 0:01:43.940 not sure they can ever erase bone what they did 0:01:44.020 --> 0:01:48.000 on Sunday. It was shameful, should be a felony, but, um, 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.720 they can certainly, um, go, you know, they, they could 0:01:51.750 --> 0:01:54.230 certainly turn it back around, have a, they win this 0:01:54.290 --> 0:01:56.030 game bone. I feel like we're right back to the 0:01:56.070 --> 0:01:59.450 confidence of, okay. Um, but, but I will say this, 0:01:59.610 --> 0:02:01.410 I don't think we'll be confident in the next game. Um, 0:02:02.550 --> 0:02:04.790 I don't think we'll be believing they're going to do 0:02:04.830 --> 0:02:05.610 it two times in a row. 0:02:05.630 --> 0:02:09.209 It's kind of a swing game in some ways, though. 0:02:09.230 --> 0:02:11.269 A win here, and you go, okay, you're feeling a 0:02:11.310 --> 0:02:14.310 whole lot better. You've got Denver at home next with 0:02:14.350 --> 0:02:17.780 time off. I don't even know if a loss, Mac, 0:02:17.810 --> 0:02:20.980 would be detrimental to the psyche of the fan base. 0:02:21.100 --> 0:02:24.160 A no-show would be a horrible thing to have because 0:02:24.180 --> 0:02:27.240 it would be– No show Sunday, no show today, and 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.600 then we got a long time until they play again 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.340 to kind of have to sit in that one. So 0:02:32.820 --> 0:02:35.660 I think that showing up tonight goes a long way, 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:36.560 and I think they will. 0:02:36.580 --> 0:02:39.310 A blowout loss, I think, would be a horrible thing tonight. 0:02:39.500 --> 0:02:42.470 I would be... I don't think they are, but yes. 0:02:43.370 --> 0:02:46.310 I was going to say, I would be shocked if 0:02:46.370 --> 0:02:49.190 we are not in a very close football game tonight. 0:02:50.150 --> 0:02:50.700 Feels like it. 0:02:51.250 --> 0:02:51.510 But. 0:02:52.620 --> 0:02:56.640 I was shocked last Sunday. I was shocked when they 0:02:56.660 --> 0:02:59.660 gave up 59 to the Bears. This team has shocked 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:07.720 me before. Packers are good. They're all right. They're not great. No, 0:03:07.860 --> 0:03:09.440 as evidenced by the spread. And they're bagged up as 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.200 much as the Panthers are. What is the point spread? 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:12.940 Like three and a half? Three and a half. So 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:14.990 it's very even. So you move that to a neutral site, 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.090 they got the Packers by a half point. So, you 0:03:18.100 --> 0:03:19.910 know what I mean? In a place where they won 0:03:19.950 --> 0:03:23.829 a year ago. This ain't– as a 13-point underdog. This 0:03:23.910 --> 0:03:27.369 is not like last year's lead-up where Vegas is like, 0:03:27.410 --> 0:03:30.000 these guys are going to get killed. Now, I did notice, Bone, 0:03:30.380 --> 0:03:33.260 our friend Michael Bell, that we used to– diehard Panther fan. 0:03:33.300 --> 0:03:35.660 He's great on social media that we used to work 0:03:35.700 --> 0:03:39.520 with here at the station. He always puts up the 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:44.050 NFL media predictions, like 10 people from NFL.com, NFL media predictions. 0:03:44.690 --> 0:03:47.490 And nine of them picked the Packers to win this game. 0:03:48.290 --> 0:03:51.450 The only NFL media member, Bone, that picked us to 0:03:51.470 --> 0:03:54.890 win was Scooter Magruder. And I'm not even sure that's 0:03:54.930 --> 0:03:55.590 a real person. 0:03:57.890 --> 0:04:02.620 He's actually big time. I have never. That was cracking 0:04:02.660 --> 0:04:02.960 me up. 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.080 I just found out he existed about five minutes ago. 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:12.160 Panthers all-time record back at Lambeau. Three wins and six losses. 0:04:12.180 --> 0:04:16.180 But one of those wins was the great. The never-ending 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.420 run of one Stephen Eugene Berwine back in 1999. 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:19.860 That is true. 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:24.730 The slowest, the slowest run that wasn't 40 yards or 0:04:24.770 --> 0:04:25.229 more ever. 0:04:26.029 --> 0:04:27.630 So what do y'all think? 0:04:27.690 --> 0:04:31.630 Canalison is, since the start of Canalison's second season, the 0:04:31.670 --> 0:04:36.620 Panthers are 8-3. after losses we've given we've given you 0:04:36.860 --> 0:04:38.760 all the stats all week about leading up to the 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.960 green bay game last week no one last year no 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:42.690 one expected him to do it they lost to the 0:04:42.710 --> 0:04:45.750 bills by 30 the rams game last year they were 0:04:45.770 --> 0:04:49.370 a huge underdog in that game bone uh uh double 0:04:49.390 --> 0:04:51.970 digits Weren't expected to win that game. 0:04:52.010 --> 0:04:52.970 They won that game. 0:04:53.589 --> 0:04:58.010 Atlanta, they rebounded from the 59-point debacle of the Bears 0:04:58.050 --> 0:05:00.890 to beat Atlanta by 31, albeit with the long firm 0:05:00.910 --> 0:05:04.290 of Russian Strand playing quarterback. So I want to know, 0:05:04.550 --> 0:05:08.890 do y'all believe in the Panther bounce-back narrative? Do you 0:05:08.930 --> 0:05:13.100 believe we're going to see them do that tonight? Or 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.260 are the visions of what happened on Sunday making it 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.300 impossible to see that? 0:05:19.260 --> 0:05:21.640 It seems like you kind of believe in the bounce back. 0:05:22.300 --> 0:05:26.339 I do, but it's a very complex, nuanced thing here 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:30.300 because I do believe in Bryce Young being much better 0:05:30.339 --> 0:05:33.230 than he showed us on Sunday and being more about 0:05:33.290 --> 0:05:37.390 who he is for the totality of the year. But 0:05:37.450 --> 0:05:40.530 for Bryce to be at his highest level, well, the 0:05:40.610 --> 0:05:43.070 offensive line has to perform at a high level. So 0:05:43.450 --> 0:05:45.870 it's weird that I do believe in Bryce, but yet 0:05:45.930 --> 0:05:49.390 my biggest concerns are with– the entire offensive line right now. 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:51.940 So that's the problem. If the offensive line holds up, 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.340 I think the Panthers can win. But right now, I 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:59.099 don't think anyone truly knows on either offensive line here 0:05:59.180 --> 0:06:01.750 on both sides. I don't think anyone truly knows until 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.830 we see this game play out how that's going to 0:06:03.850 --> 0:06:06.450 go tonight. It's a lot of questions on both sides tonight. 0:06:06.670 --> 0:06:07.349 I just, to me. 0:06:09.730 --> 0:06:13.180 It's going to be a ballgame. I feel really strongly 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.900 about that. Now, granted, I thought we were winning the 0:06:15.940 --> 0:06:18.800 game last week. I've been wrong a time or two, Bone. 0:06:19.020 --> 0:06:20.859 Every now and then. Ask my wife. She'll point out 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.320 a couple of times. Not many, I'm sure. 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.980 But I just feel like, based on what we've seen 0:06:26.020 --> 0:06:29.370 from this team, they're going to rally together. They're going 0:06:29.380 --> 0:06:32.190 to us against the world. I think they seem to 0:06:32.330 --> 0:06:35.599 like it when people are down on them. They seem 0:06:35.620 --> 0:06:37.739 to like it when people ain't giving them a chance. 0:06:39.020 --> 0:06:42.510 Their biggest problem is, oh, you won two in a row? 0:06:42.910 --> 0:06:46.590 You're now expected to win this game. And not only 0:06:46.610 --> 0:06:48.790 are you expected, but the last two weeks, national media 0:06:48.830 --> 0:06:51.800 has been praising you and your quarterback. That's the spot that, 0:06:51.820 --> 0:06:55.279 for some reason, Bone, they wet. 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:56.900 Their pampers over. You know what I mean? 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.680 I don't, I don't really understand why, but this is 0:06:59.740 --> 0:07:02.289 a spot. I really believe there's something to this, that 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:07.130 this group galvanizes. Now I will agree. The offensive line 0:07:07.350 --> 0:07:10.310 is scary. There's no doubt about it. When you take 0:07:10.370 --> 0:07:13.130 away consistent forces like Lewis, who won't play tonight. 0:07:13.430 --> 0:07:14.290 And of course, Moten who. 0:07:14.270 --> 0:07:17.510 Won't play the rest of the year. I, but I 0:07:17.550 --> 0:07:18.230 will say is. 0:07:20.690 --> 0:07:23.790 This is the exact same line that played against Detroit. 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.280 And they did a great job in game planning against 0:07:28.300 --> 0:07:30.900 Hutchinson in that game when there's not a Hutchinson on 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.960 this line because he's not playing yet. 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:34.100 So why can't we try? 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.320 I know it's not Detroit's defense, but can we try 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:40.180 to run the ball to get in favorable down-distance situations 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.280 so you're not in third and long where they can 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:43.200 pin their ears back? 0:07:43.660 --> 0:07:44.100 Can you. 0:07:45.820 --> 0:07:47.780 Get the quick passing game going like you did against 0:07:47.820 --> 0:07:50.050 Detroit if you're worried about this O-line. Because I will 0:07:50.070 --> 0:07:52.750 point out, this O-line group, Bone, was there for the 0:07:52.790 --> 0:07:53.470 best win. 0:07:53.330 --> 0:07:53.970 Of the season. 0:07:54.390 --> 0:07:58.580 And I think with the Packers' offensive line problems, I'm 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:03.310 expecting a... vintage derrick brown performance tonight i think we're 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.480 due for one where he wrecks shop i think derrick 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.040 brown he knows he's not been at his best he 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.320 knows how much the team needs him you don't think 0:08:11.420 --> 0:08:14.380 that guy's embarrassed of what that defense has been a 0:08:14.420 --> 0:08:18.380 part of multiple times this year i'm expecting the highest 0:08:18.460 --> 0:08:21.290 level of derrick brown and i unless there's a Some 0:08:21.350 --> 0:08:24.230 injuries that we don't know about and it's really affecting them. 0:08:24.530 --> 0:08:27.230 If Derrick Brown is healthy and just playing poorly, I 0:08:27.290 --> 0:08:30.840 expect him tonight to wreak havoc against that interior of 0:08:30.860 --> 0:08:34.350 the Packer offensive line. Derrick Brown tonight cuts through the cheese. 0:08:36.030 --> 0:08:38.609 I feel like that whole breakdown was setting up that line, man. 0:08:38.650 --> 0:08:41.050 It was just, you just putting it on a platter to. 0:08:41.010 --> 0:08:42.710 Finish it off. No, I thought about it about halfway through. 0:08:42.730 --> 0:08:44.490 Okay, okay. The fact that I made a cut the 0:08:44.510 --> 0:08:47.300 cheese line if he didn't laugh is really. You're disappointed 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:48.980 in Panther Cutting? That was built for him. 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:49.700 I'm mature. 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:51.620 Actually, in case you missed the show, he's now known 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:52.480 as Tiny Archibald. 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:53.580 No, that's not happening. 0:08:54.380 --> 0:08:55.820 You don't like that one? 0:08:55.980 --> 0:08:57.780 No, you want to start calling me Spud, Marlo? I'm 0:08:57.820 --> 0:08:59.640 here to be called Spud because I love potatoes. I'm 0:08:59.860 --> 0:09:03.200 a big believer in potatoes, a big advocate for potatoes. 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.480 Tiny Archibald? Let's be honest, that's too long of a 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.240 name for you to pronounce anyway. 0:09:07.380 --> 0:09:09.120 It is maybe a little too wordy. 0:09:09.260 --> 0:09:11.120 That seems to be the criticism we're getting, Bone, is 0:09:11.140 --> 0:09:14.060 that even though it fits because Fitty is both tiny 0:09:14.100 --> 0:09:14.580 and bald. 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.199 Now you want to call me Tiny Fit? I don't 0:09:18.220 --> 0:09:18.740 really hate that. 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.870 If Colin signs off because he owns the rights to 0:09:20.890 --> 0:09:23.750 your name, if he calls you Spud, then you're just 0:09:23.790 --> 0:09:25.450 going to be Spud from now on. You are kind 0:09:25.550 --> 0:09:29.060 of respectfully potato-shaped a little bit. 0:09:29.620 --> 0:09:34.780 Somebody said, what about Smugsy? Small and smug. Does that work? 0:09:34.860 --> 0:09:39.220 I'm not smug, though. No, not at all, Fit. Good point. 0:09:39.900 --> 0:09:42.160 Walls would like Bone to do the pep talk today. 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.180 He seems to think you got it inside you today, baby. 0:09:45.230 --> 0:09:48.370 Well, don't ask the former leader of the pep club 0:09:48.390 --> 0:09:50.550 to do a pep talk. I'll make us a sign 0:09:50.590 --> 0:09:51.150 and run through it. 0:09:51.150 --> 0:09:54.090 You know that was my role, right? Is that what 0:09:54.110 --> 0:09:56.130 you did? Those paper signs and then the team runs 0:09:56.170 --> 0:09:57.700 through it? Yeah, I had to make those. Oh, dude. 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.550 Did you ever not get through the sign bone? 0:09:59.650 --> 0:10:01.329 I didn't run through the sign. He just made it. 0:10:01.330 --> 0:10:03.310 I made the signs. Oh, that's even worse. 0:10:03.990 --> 0:10:07.780 Think about this, Mac. Think about my athletic prowess back then. 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.040 I had to watch my friend to run through the sign. 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.140 But they were damn good signs. 0:10:15.490 --> 0:10:18.650 Packers offensive line has really struggled, especially in run block. 0:10:18.690 --> 0:10:21.010 And pass protection numbers are a lot better. But the 0:10:21.050 --> 0:10:23.370 run block has been really bad. But they're missing Glover, 0:10:23.410 --> 0:10:26.300 their right guard. They're missing Ryan, their starting center. off 0:10:26.340 --> 0:10:30.120 an offensive line that already is 31st in run blocking grade. 0:10:30.780 --> 0:10:32.640 I just think they're going to be one-dimensional tonight. I 0:10:32.660 --> 0:10:36.850 think the run defense of games two through five reappears 0:10:36.890 --> 0:10:39.790 tonight because I think the Packers' run game is not capable. 0:10:39.850 --> 0:10:43.329 I also think, Bone, you've got to commit. To do 0:10:43.370 --> 0:10:45.950 what the Bears did to us, what the Bucks did 0:10:45.970 --> 0:10:48.290 to us, and sadly what 10 other teams have done 0:10:48.370 --> 0:10:51.740 to us in the Ajiro Vero era. But you have 0:10:51.770 --> 0:10:54.400 to really commit to the run game. The Packers don't 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.960 commit to the run game. The Packers' rush rate is 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.240 the lowest in the league. Their pass percentage is the highest. 0:11:00.260 --> 0:11:02.900 They air it out. So I feel like it's a 0:11:02.940 --> 0:11:05.939 game where if it's Marco Wilson, who Mike Kay says 0:11:06.020 --> 0:11:08.920 is getting called up from the practice squad because Evans 0:11:08.980 --> 0:11:11.600 is out, if it's Marco Wilson and Will Lee, those 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.540 are the guys– against Watson and Golden if he plays, 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.660 Jordan Love is tied for first in deep balls completed 0:11:19.780 --> 0:11:20.339 in the league. 0:11:20.380 --> 0:11:22.660 Bryce is third, by the way. 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.200 So I just feel like, Bone, they can't resist the 0:11:25.260 --> 0:11:28.390 temptation to go after our young corners. And I don't 0:11:28.510 --> 0:11:30.600 think we have to worry about this team that's going 0:11:30.630 --> 0:11:32.520 to want to pound the foot, unless they do a 0:11:32.540 --> 0:11:34.699 complete about-face and try to hit us with an okey-doke, 0:11:35.100 --> 0:11:35.380 you know? 0:11:35.740 --> 0:11:38.239 Where's Green Bay Mac in time of possession? Because it 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:39.880 can't be that high up, right, the way they play? 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:40.500 Definitely can't. 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.190 They don't run the ball in the deep shots. It's 0:11:43.230 --> 0:11:47.530 not going to be a heavy, heavy... heavy possession time 0:11:47.570 --> 0:11:48.410 tonight for the Packers. 0:11:48.429 --> 0:11:48.990 They're going to move. 0:11:49.150 --> 0:11:51.410 They're going to go quickly, whether it's three and out or, 0:11:51.429 --> 0:11:53.870 you know, they're getting yards in a chunk. It's not 0:11:53.910 --> 0:11:55.660 a team that's going to have the ball for very long. 0:11:55.780 --> 0:11:56.320 I wouldn't think. 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.819 So why don't we then try to possess the ball 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:01.280 and put Jordan Love standing on that heated bench? 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.730 They're 29th in offensive time of possession. 0:12:04.090 --> 0:12:06.150 Yeah, and that's what happens when you run it the 0:12:06.190 --> 0:12:07.989 least amount in the league and the least effective in 0:12:08.010 --> 0:12:08.290 the league. 0:12:08.350 --> 0:12:10.670 I guess that would be possession, I guess, offensive time. 0:12:10.690 --> 0:12:12.949 I guess that is possession. 0:12:13.550 --> 0:12:14.890 I don't know why. It says it on here, but 0:12:14.990 --> 0:12:17.230 I don't know why it says it on there like that. 0:12:17.490 --> 0:12:20.510 So, yeah, how about we come out running for the 0:12:20.550 --> 0:12:23.150 first real time this year and get the quick passing 0:12:23.190 --> 0:12:26.570 game going with it, get some confidence in our O-line maybe, 0:12:26.730 --> 0:12:29.270 open up some holes, and how about we keep, again, 0:12:29.910 --> 0:12:33.800 Jordan Love, Keep that fanny over there on that heated 0:12:33.860 --> 0:12:37.200 bench in Lambeau, Boney. Keep his cheeks nice and toasty. 0:12:37.220 --> 0:12:39.780 I'm looking out for you, Giorno. 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:44.580 Keep your moons warm, poor Willie P. Keep that waning 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:49.600 gibbous warm. I don't want it. One rule of life 0:12:49.620 --> 0:12:55.210 that I have is I don't want my gibbous to wane. Oh, God. 0:12:55.230 --> 0:12:56.490 But you know, Mack, you don't have a good point 0:12:56.510 --> 0:12:59.030 with the run game. I thought Izzik was committed to 0:12:59.050 --> 0:13:02.189 the run on Sunday until the game flow dictated him. 0:13:02.090 --> 0:13:02.410 Not to be. 0:13:02.429 --> 0:13:04.050 That's the thing is they had no chance. We also, 0:13:04.740 --> 0:13:06.140 at some point, poor Chuba. 0:13:06.540 --> 0:13:09.240 Can he have a big run that stands without one 0:13:09.260 --> 0:13:13.280 of these offensive linemen committing some penalty that brings it all? 0:13:13.300 --> 0:13:15.950 Now, look, I thought the Trimble hold on Sunday was pathetic. 0:13:16.020 --> 0:13:17.270 To me, that was not a hold. 0:13:17.290 --> 0:13:18.189 I thought that was just blocking. 0:13:18.230 --> 0:13:18.950 Hated that call. 0:13:18.990 --> 0:13:21.170 But has there been a running back? 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.240 In the NFL to have more yards taken away from 0:13:24.260 --> 0:13:26.640 him because of penalty than Chuba Hubbard this year. 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.319 Because it feels like every time he has a big run, 0:13:30.660 --> 0:13:31.260 there's a flag. 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.040 And it's good that you bring up penalties because Bone 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.070 was saying which offensive line can hold up could be 0:13:36.090 --> 0:13:40.010 the game. I also think penalties is very important. Green Bay, 0:13:40.050 --> 0:13:42.010 believe it or not, commits more penalties than we do 0:13:42.050 --> 0:13:44.470 per game. I was shocked. They commit the most in 0:13:44.490 --> 0:13:47.689 the league, Bone, per game. Panthers are now 4th. We're 0:13:47.730 --> 0:13:50.500 actually got three teams, bigger knuckleheads than we are. 0:13:50.510 --> 0:13:53.400 Rob Hudson, watch this. So let's see. Can we get out? 0:13:53.410 --> 0:13:56.960 He's going to water to a tailgate on a play. Oh, well, 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:58.640 I'm down here. I'm going to grab a brat, sir. 0:13:58.679 --> 0:13:59.160 Thank you. 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:00.820 Oh, shoot. 0:14:00.860 --> 0:14:03.940 Did I go too far on this pass play? So 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.760 the Packers, maybe the Packers help us out. Packers are 0:14:06.820 --> 0:14:09.580 also number one in drops in the NFL. So for 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:13.080 all Jordan Love's 15 deep completions, Bone. And all the 0:14:13.100 --> 0:14:15.300 stuff that he's been doing in the passing game and 0:14:15.340 --> 0:14:19.390 Watson's been doing and Golden's been doing, those receivers have. 0:14:19.310 --> 0:14:23.050 Dropped 21 passes. So can they help us? 0:14:23.530 --> 0:14:25.890 Can they keep doing the drop thing and the penalty 0:14:25.910 --> 0:14:27.850 thing and help us out a little bit tonight? Jordan 0:14:27.890 --> 0:14:32.280 Love also boned 12 turnover-worthy plays, according to PFF. That's 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.960 a pretty high number. Can Jordan Love give it to 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:38.200 us tonight? This defense has not forced turnovers really outside 0:14:38.220 --> 0:14:38.580 the Bears. 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.500 Matt, do you remember the last time the Packers played 0:14:41.540 --> 0:14:42.380 on Thursday night football? 0:14:44.090 --> 0:14:44.890 The Falcons. 0:14:44.910 --> 0:14:47.750 Yeah, week three at home, they got destroyed. That's where 0:14:47.790 --> 0:14:50.620 the Falcons really started to feel, oh, we might be 0:14:50.650 --> 0:14:52.320 pretty good. Then, of course, they've been up and down. 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:56.480 But they lost by 21 to Atlanta. And Atlanta team, oh, 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.840 by the way, that was reeling at the quarterback spot 0:14:59.860 --> 0:15:02.040 going into that game. 0:15:02.420 --> 0:15:05.100 Yes, and Jordan Love at that point was playing pretty bad. 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.400 Since then, he's really turned it up. I would love 0:15:07.420 --> 0:15:10.640 to get that version of Love. I don't think we're 0:15:10.660 --> 0:15:13.480 going to, though. I feel like he'll play well tonight, Bone. 0:15:13.860 --> 0:15:16.020 If they run it on us, that's a damn shame. 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.000 They're also beat Chicago 31-7-2, so they're very up and 0:15:18.020 --> 0:15:19.180 down like everybody else is in this league. 0:15:19.220 --> 0:15:21.210 That was the one where they forced five turnovers from 0:15:21.230 --> 0:15:23.090 the Bears in that game. Secret Bajet man. 0:15:24.230 --> 0:15:25.650 Was it him? It was him in that game, right, 0:15:25.670 --> 0:15:27.570 that kept turning it over? Yes. 0:15:27.710 --> 0:15:30.609 Yeah, so that was one. Again, don't hand them the 0:15:30.630 --> 0:15:34.340 ball five times. You know, that's part of the formula. 0:15:34.620 --> 0:15:37.960 You handed the ball three times to the Bears in 0:15:37.980 --> 0:15:41.140 a blowout loss. You handed the ball four times to 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.740 the Bucs in a blowout loss. Green Bay's number one 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:50.640 in turnover. Xavier McKinney is number one in interceptions, and 0:15:50.660 --> 0:15:53.340 the Packers are number one in interceptions. So, like, Bryce, 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.330 you got to go back to taking care of this 0:15:55.370 --> 0:15:57.800 football like you did the first five games, broski. 0:15:58.330 --> 0:16:02.110 You got to, man. Textures seem to be all over 0:16:02.130 --> 0:16:02.470 the place. 0:16:02.510 --> 0:16:05.210 There is a little bit more textures than I thought 0:16:05.590 --> 0:16:07.930 that are picking the Panthers to win because they just 0:16:07.950 --> 0:16:09.770 kind of feel like they know this team and this 0:16:09.830 --> 0:16:12.550 is the spot they went in. You do have this 0:16:12.570 --> 0:16:18.550 9-8-0 number. Mack, bounce back, my hiney. This season is over. 0:16:18.990 --> 0:16:20.630 We can start talking. 0:16:20.270 --> 0:16:23.660 Draft, fellas. So there you go. He does not believe 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:25.660 in bounce backs. Interesting. 0:16:26.220 --> 0:16:27.640 When we come back, we're going to talk to Sam 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.140 Farber of the Hornets Radio Network, both about the performance 0:16:31.180 --> 0:16:34.330 of Brandon Miller, the loss last night, and just his 0:16:35.050 --> 0:16:38.670 takeaway of the Nas Reid situation on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. 0:16:58.500 --> 0:17:02.170 Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. 0:17:02.950 --> 0:17:05.090 It's happening, man. It is happening, Bone. 0:17:05.109 --> 0:17:07.530 We talked about the NFL media members were 9 out 0:17:07.570 --> 0:17:12.379 of 10, picked the Packers to beat the Panthers. Now 0:17:12.500 --> 0:17:16.640 ESPN on GetUp has a graphic up where 4 for 4. 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.570 have picked the Packers over the Panthers. Isn't this the 0:17:20.700 --> 0:17:24.429 spot that we actually ball out, man? 0:17:24.609 --> 0:17:25.590 It just is. 0:17:25.730 --> 0:17:27.790 The Bustin' with the Boys crew might be the guys 0:17:27.830 --> 0:17:29.449 that are more wrong than we are, so this is 0:17:29.490 --> 0:17:33.310 great news for us. I just don't know. Do I 0:17:33.369 --> 0:17:37.100 Panther up? I'm starting to believe I'm bad luck. 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.220 So you're just now starting to believe that stuff? 0:17:42.290 --> 0:17:42.619 Hold on. 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:43.530 It's a small sample. 0:17:43.570 --> 0:17:45.609 We got 20 years of evidence to say you suck. 0:17:45.630 --> 0:17:46.430 Well, that's what I needed. 0:17:46.470 --> 0:17:48.770 Once we got about 21 years in, then I started 0:17:48.790 --> 0:17:52.750 feeling like we had a big enough sample size. It's 0:17:52.790 --> 0:17:54.850 like everybody used to say about Taylor Swift when she 0:17:54.869 --> 0:17:56.949 would write all the songs about what was wrong with 0:17:56.970 --> 0:17:59.909 all her boyfriends. And people would say, maybe you're the problem. 0:18:00.030 --> 0:18:03.880 I'm just starting to figure out maybe I am the problem. 0:18:04.060 --> 0:18:04.440 Maybe. 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:05.060 Go figure. 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:06.700 Your curse can drink. Now you believe in it. 0:18:07.780 --> 0:18:10.379 All right that's why people have a lot of bad blood. 0:18:10.500 --> 0:18:13.360 Anyway there you go there you go all right let's 0:18:13.540 --> 0:18:16.330 um uh let's bring in a man and i feel 0:18:16.350 --> 0:18:17.750 like this is a good day for this man not 0:18:17.810 --> 0:18:20.170 only because we've got a hornets game to recap and 0:18:20.310 --> 0:18:24.230 some juicy storylines but also bone because i remember this 0:18:24.310 --> 0:18:26.410 man trying to tell me when the whole free world 0:18:26.430 --> 0:18:29.540 was picking the rams including us to beat the panthers 0:18:29.900 --> 0:18:32.560 this man said the panthers will win and i'll be 0:18:32.619 --> 0:18:35.879 damned if they got it done Sam Farber, voice of 0:18:35.900 --> 0:18:38.439 your Charlotte Hornets with us for his weekly visit. 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:40.480 Sam, what's going on, brother? How you doing? 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.060 We're doing great. Road trip off to a little bit 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.070 of a rocky start there with the loss of Detroit. 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.830 But you know what? Hornets above 500 will take it. 0:18:51.410 --> 0:18:55.090 Haven't even gotten the full roster on the floor just yet. 0:18:55.170 --> 0:18:56.770 So the best is yet to come. 0:18:57.670 --> 0:18:58.650 I'm with you on that, man. 0:18:58.930 --> 0:19:02.859 Sam, before we get into Brandon Miller's performance and all 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.620 that stuff, we have to ask your thoughts on what 0:19:05.660 --> 0:19:09.000 transpired last night. Nas Reed does not play in the 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.060 second half. Charles Lee explains it was not illness, it 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:16.250 was not injury. He did not meet the standards of 0:19:16.290 --> 0:19:19.710 the team, and they hope that he will going forward. 0:19:19.750 --> 0:19:23.210 What are your thoughts on what transpired last night from 0:19:23.310 --> 0:19:24.030 what you know? 0:19:25.700 --> 0:19:28.240 Yeah, I mean, in a certain sense, like obviously they're 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:30.480 to see the game and have been around the team 0:19:30.530 --> 0:19:33.120 but have not heard specifically from Nas, have not heard 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:37.450 further from Coach on what exactly it was. I think 0:19:37.470 --> 0:19:39.470 there's a lot of layers to this. For one, I 0:19:39.510 --> 0:19:42.250 think Nas deserves a lot of credit. There are times 0:19:42.310 --> 0:19:46.840 that something like this will happen and the player you know, 0:19:46.980 --> 0:19:49.400 will be seen in a certain way, you know, acting 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.359 a certain way on the bench. And that wasn't the case. 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.620 Nas was engaged. He was talking to teammates. He was, 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:56.399 you know, trying to pick up his team and do 0:19:56.420 --> 0:19:58.859 what he could to aid the team along. So I 0:19:58.900 --> 0:20:01.050 think he deserves a lot of credit for that. And, 0:20:01.070 --> 0:20:04.310 you know, look, this team has higher aspirations than just 0:20:04.390 --> 0:20:07.409 winning a 40 to 45 games and making the play in. 0:20:07.710 --> 0:20:11.340 And part of that is accountability and, and meeting the standard. 0:20:11.780 --> 0:20:15.679 And so, you know, I expect we will hear more about, 0:20:15.780 --> 0:20:18.219 you know, what, what exactly, or at least coach will 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:22.419 be asked more about what exactly transpired. And, and now 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.790 it's probably will as well. And I think the team 0:20:25.900 --> 0:20:29.429 is going to, you know, rally around one another and 0:20:29.510 --> 0:20:32.130 take that next step and become an even better ball club. But, 0:20:32.210 --> 0:20:35.170 but obviously, you know, it had an impact. not having 0:20:35.210 --> 0:20:37.780 him on the floor for the second half last night 0:20:37.859 --> 0:20:40.980 and a winnable game. But it's not about one game. 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:43.800 It's about what you can do at the end of 82. 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:45.100 That's what I got. 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.060 Why am I going to fight with it? My hand 0:20:47.140 --> 0:20:50.020 is stuck in the microphone thing. So I keep pulling. 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.109 I apologize to my partner here. He's getting, he's getting 0:20:53.190 --> 0:20:56.130 beat up in the paint by the microphone. I'm disheveled 0:20:56.210 --> 0:20:56.970 over here, Sammy. 0:20:57.050 --> 0:20:57.930 It's game day. 0:20:58.109 --> 0:21:00.390 I'm a little shook by what happened last night in Detroit. 0:21:00.730 --> 0:21:03.690 Anyway, I heard that thing rattled twice. Like you threw 0:21:03.710 --> 0:21:04.130 a punch or something. 0:21:04.609 --> 0:21:06.670 I couldn't get it out. It was in there two times. 0:21:06.690 --> 0:21:10.359 All right, Sammy, let's continue the conversation about this. I 0:21:10.380 --> 0:21:11.720 do want to get to Brandon Miller because I think 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:14.880 he is proving that he's got things in that bag that, 0:21:14.940 --> 0:21:17.600 you know, maybe we didn't see when he had, you know, 0:21:17.619 --> 0:21:20.859 LaMelo with with him. But let's talk about the Nas 0:21:20.900 --> 0:21:23.360 Reed thing a little more. were you shocked by this? 0:21:23.420 --> 0:21:26.800 Because I was shocked. A, I never really thought Nas 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:29.740 would be a guy that just, you know, that ever 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:32.830 would be like, oh, you're below a team standard. So 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:36.730 I was with his reputation. And then two, I didn't 0:21:36.750 --> 0:21:39.430 really think Charles Lee had this in him. The full benching, 0:21:39.790 --> 0:21:42.570 the calling him out with Shannon Spake and telling everybody 0:21:42.609 --> 0:21:45.170 he didn't meet the standard. That's why we we benched him. 0:21:45.570 --> 0:21:47.430 I thought he's a little, was it a little more 0:21:47.550 --> 0:21:50.850 subtle and maybe not like this much of a, of 0:21:50.910 --> 0:21:52.450 a hard ass for lack of a better term. 0:21:52.690 --> 0:21:54.609 How surprised were you by this development? 0:21:55.970 --> 0:21:58.510 You know, it's clearly a bit out of the blue. 0:21:58.550 --> 0:22:00.670 Cause I mean, just prior to the game and rightfully 0:22:00.770 --> 0:22:04.990 so Nas was being delivered praise by coaches and again, 0:22:05.050 --> 0:22:08.450 deservedly so for what he brings to the table, his 0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:12.500 experience and, And that level of accountability. So, you know, 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:18.189 I can see how it is perhaps a bit confusing. But, 0:22:18.210 --> 0:22:20.650 you know, the world is scary and confusing and stressful 0:22:20.670 --> 0:22:22.730 and exhausting. And basketball is all of that, but in 0:22:22.750 --> 0:22:25.290 a good way. And so, you know, I think there 0:22:25.470 --> 0:22:29.710 are lessons to be taken away from, you know, what happened. 0:22:30.070 --> 0:22:33.179 I don't think at this point we know everything about it. 0:22:33.230 --> 0:22:36.530 There's just, you know, the initial item that we saw. 0:22:37.270 --> 0:22:40.030 There is the quote that we have from Coach. There 0:22:40.090 --> 0:22:42.250 aren't further details, and I don't know if we're going 0:22:42.270 --> 0:22:44.770 to get all of the details on this, but I 0:22:44.850 --> 0:22:49.480 do expect, given the character of Nas and the way 0:22:49.540 --> 0:22:53.460 that Coach has developed these relationships with his players, that 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:56.820 we're going to see everyone go to a better, higher 0:22:56.859 --> 0:22:58.179 level moving forward. 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:02.560 Sam, on a more positive note, Brandon Miller appears like– 0:23:02.890 --> 0:23:05.719 You know, that star turn is happening for him right now. 0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:08.980 Was already approaching that, but the last few games, man, 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:12.150 he has been everything you could want. What's your assessment 0:23:12.190 --> 0:23:15.609 of Brandon Miller's game? Not just the scoring, but the 0:23:15.710 --> 0:23:17.629 full game that's been on display here. 0:23:18.830 --> 0:23:21.030 I think he's a superstar. I think that's what we're 0:23:21.070 --> 0:23:23.990 seeing here. Three consecutive 30-point games. He's never done that 0:23:24.030 --> 0:23:26.119 in his career. He's the only player in the NBA 0:23:26.380 --> 0:23:28.959 so far this season to have accomplished that. And there 0:23:28.980 --> 0:23:32.340 are some very talented scorers across the NBA, as we 0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:34.879 well know. But on top of that is that the 0:23:34.900 --> 0:23:38.720 team is winning. And they're winning without having the full roster. 0:23:38.980 --> 0:23:42.780 I get three and two. You're one off night away 0:23:43.140 --> 0:23:47.119 from being below 500. But they're not. They're winning these games. 0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:50.500 One game was just a total stinker across the board, 0:23:50.540 --> 0:23:52.790 and even the loss last night, you can make the 0:23:52.850 --> 0:23:58.350 argument that Brandon, in terms of superstar power, was going 0:23:58.890 --> 0:24:01.630 far from full strength. Conor Knieppel's not out there yet. 0:24:01.690 --> 0:24:03.690 Kobe White's not out there yet. Grant Williams is not 0:24:03.750 --> 0:24:06.240 out there yet. Nas Reed didn't play in the second half, 0:24:06.340 --> 0:24:08.460 and still the team had a shot to win going 0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:11.619 down the stretch because Brandon Miller has been playing so well. 0:24:12.740 --> 0:24:15.440 I look at him compared to the guy on the 0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:18.350 other side last night, Cade Cunningham, And I don't see 0:24:18.430 --> 0:24:21.810 a reason why Brandon can't continue to elevate and reach 0:24:21.869 --> 0:24:26.300 that level, particularly when some of those high-level running mates 0:24:26.340 --> 0:24:29.220 who are just stars in their own right in an 0:24:29.300 --> 0:24:32.679 offensive and defensive way are there to assist him and 0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:35.180 take some of the pressure off of him. But right now, 0:24:35.300 --> 0:24:39.480 with the entire focus of a really good defensive Detroit 0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:43.310 team laser-focused on him, he was still able to go 0:24:43.350 --> 0:24:46.109 for 30 and still almost won the game on the road. 0:24:46.190 --> 0:24:48.800 So he has been extremely impressive here. 0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:50.340 Oh, absolutely. You said it. 0:24:50.380 --> 0:24:54.400 It's all NBA potential when you watch. I mean, you're 0:24:54.460 --> 0:24:57.300 seeing him become a professional scorer right in front of 0:24:57.359 --> 0:25:00.700 our eyes. And 12 rebounds last night. 12 boards last 0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:03.860 night was huge, too. Just get him the dang ball 0:25:04.260 --> 0:25:06.000 and get out of the way. And I'm with you, man. 0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:08.900 He'll become more efficient when we get Khan and Kobe there, 0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:11.760 and he won't have to maybe take the tough shots 0:25:11.780 --> 0:25:14.590 he's taken. But, dang, if he is not making a 0:25:14.810 --> 0:25:18.250 bunch of tough get-to-your-spots, play-through-contact shots. 0:25:18.430 --> 0:25:19.710 I mean, there'll be nights. I love it, man. 0:25:19.750 --> 0:25:20.050 I love it. 0:25:20.090 --> 0:25:22.510 Sam, there'll be nights when if Khan is red hot 0:25:22.550 --> 0:25:24.490 or Kobe wipes out a big night, there'll be nights 0:25:24.510 --> 0:25:27.650 when Brandon Miller might be the— the second option at 0:25:27.690 --> 0:25:30.910 certain nights, or, you know, that pushes Nas Reid down. 0:25:30.710 --> 0:25:32.530 To the fourth option on offense. 0:25:32.550 --> 0:25:34.210 That's a heck of a, that's a heck of a 0:25:34.260 --> 0:25:37.680 starting group there once they all get back. 0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:37.860 100%. 0:25:37.859 --> 0:25:40.700 And like, you know, that's the issue, you know, talking 0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:43.780 to the Detroit folks, that's the thing, the problem that 0:25:44.140 --> 0:25:47.550 in some people around theirs opinions, they did not solve 0:25:47.830 --> 0:25:50.149 in the rosters they made. Like John Collins is a 0:25:50.170 --> 0:25:53.570 good player and, But they were looking for a number 0:25:53.650 --> 0:25:57.470 two star, a second all-star who you can give the 0:25:57.510 --> 0:26:00.359 ball to. Not that Jalen Dern isn't an all-star, but 0:26:00.420 --> 0:26:02.459 you know what I mean. He's a different kind of player. 0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:09.080 He's more in the vein of a star rebounder, defensive presence, 0:26:09.580 --> 0:26:12.800 different kind of guy, very valuable, but different kind of player. 0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:16.250 Same thing with Asar Thompson, valuable player, not someone you 0:26:16.270 --> 0:26:18.390 can hand the ball to and say, get us a bucket. 0:26:19.290 --> 0:26:21.890 And so, you know, they, for all their success last year, 0:26:21.990 --> 0:26:25.750 were looking for someone like Brandon Miller. And in Brandon, 0:26:26.390 --> 0:26:29.540 they've got, the Hornets have a superstar, but they also 0:26:29.580 --> 0:26:32.920 have players like Tom Hennepel and Kobe White and Nas Reed, 0:26:33.220 --> 0:26:35.740 who you can say, hey, get us a bucket, because 0:26:35.780 --> 0:26:38.500 we know the defense is focused on Brandon right now, 0:26:38.780 --> 0:26:41.639 which means you've got a one-on-one matchup against a defender 0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:42.460 we'd like to attack. 0:26:43.210 --> 0:26:47.340 Yep, well said. No doubt about it. So coming up next, 0:26:47.619 --> 0:26:49.200 it's on the road. I think I called it a 0:26:49.200 --> 0:26:51.680 home game earlier. We already played Washington at home, Bonesy. 0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:54.980 On the road. Way back on Monday. Against Washington. 0:26:55.330 --> 0:26:57.850 And then it's back home again for the big Halloween 0:26:57.890 --> 0:27:00.890 game against LeBron and the Sixers. 0:27:00.910 --> 0:27:04.830 I did want to— How about that? Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, 0:27:04.850 --> 0:27:07.149 the next home games. That's a heck of a— A 0:27:07.190 --> 0:27:10.020 good grouping there. A tough grouping, though. Yeah, they really 0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:12.740 need Friday night. If only back there was a guy 0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:15.980 that could give us the number for tickets for those games. 0:27:16.020 --> 0:27:16.500 Sammy! 0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:19.780 Yeah, it's interesting we have you here during this time, Sammy. 0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:24.399 I am here to serve. Yes, we don't want to 0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:27.820 squander this opportunity because the Hornets are playing good ball, 0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:30.699 and we've got some really entertaining games coming up. Obviously, 0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:33.740 Friday is a big one. Emirates NBA Cup opener for 0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:37.010 Charlotte at Washington. Hopefully everyone will tune in. It'll be 0:27:37.090 --> 0:27:40.770 on WSOC Channel 9, our beloved ABC affiliate back home 0:27:40.790 --> 0:27:44.370 in the Queen City. And then right back to work 0:27:44.570 --> 0:27:49.399 on Saturday for a Halloween special against LeBron James, Jalen Brown, 0:27:49.420 --> 0:27:56.080 Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey. and B.J. Edgecombe and the Philadelphia 76ers. 0:27:56.420 --> 0:27:58.410 It'll be night two of a back-to-back, but I believe 0:27:58.510 --> 0:28:01.450 it's part of a back-to-back as well for Philadelphia. So 0:28:02.450 --> 0:28:05.609 an opportunity there. And, you know, Halloween at the Hive, 0:28:05.690 --> 0:28:09.450 what could be better? So if you can resist trick-or-treating, 0:28:09.490 --> 0:28:12.230 just leave the bowl outside and come on out, dress 0:28:12.310 --> 0:28:14.280 up if you'd like, and join us for some Halloween 0:28:14.300 --> 0:28:16.340 hoops and tickets are available at Hornets.com. 0:28:16.810 --> 0:28:19.949 I like it. Let's take LeBron's candy on Saturday night, y'all. 0:28:19.970 --> 0:28:20.830 By the way. 0:28:20.890 --> 0:28:26.649 At his age, it's probably Werther's. I need to know, though, Sam. 0:28:26.750 --> 0:28:29.770 I mentioned you in the intro. You were the one 0:28:29.850 --> 0:28:32.070 telling us, well, you're going to beat the Rams, y'all. 0:28:32.130 --> 0:28:32.760 Settle down. 0:28:32.780 --> 0:28:35.840 A lot of people don't believe they can beat the 0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:39.410 Packers after Sunday's game. Are you in the believer camp tonight, too? 0:28:41.010 --> 0:28:44.210 I am 100% in the believer camp. Look, everyone has 0:28:44.270 --> 0:28:48.190 an off night, okay? Bryce is having a brilliant season. 0:28:48.290 --> 0:28:52.600 He's having a brilliant season right now. He's becoming a 0:28:52.620 --> 0:28:56.920 superstar in his own right. I think defensively, we've seen 0:28:56.940 --> 0:29:00.090 the Panthers, unfortunately, have a couple of off nights. or 0:29:00.170 --> 0:29:02.310 off days, I should say over the course of the season, 0:29:02.570 --> 0:29:04.870 they tend not to have two in a row. So 0:29:05.070 --> 0:29:07.190 I think the Packers are a good team, but I 0:29:07.230 --> 0:29:09.350 think the Panthers are a really good team as well. 0:29:09.370 --> 0:29:10.490 And I think they're going to respond. 0:29:10.650 --> 0:29:13.590 I love it. Sammy, baby, the sunshine. He thinks he's 0:29:13.630 --> 0:29:14.930 shining on the cats tonight. 0:29:17.130 --> 0:29:17.490 Sammy. 0:29:17.530 --> 0:29:20.370 Great job, brother. Keep up the good work calling the games. 0:29:20.430 --> 0:29:21.090 Appreciate you. 0:29:21.990 --> 0:29:24.070 Appreciate you guys as well. And look for what are 0:29:24.090 --> 0:29:26.209 you dressing up as Saturday at the hive? I want 0:29:26.230 --> 0:29:27.280 to know what's the costume. 0:29:28.890 --> 0:29:29.690 Are you dressing up, Boat? 0:29:29.930 --> 0:29:30.110 Huh? 0:29:30.390 --> 0:29:33.219 Are you dressing up? I don't have a costume. Are 0:29:33.260 --> 0:29:33.810 you dressing up, Sam? 0:29:33.820 --> 0:29:35.720 Oh, yeah, you do, but you got that pirate costume. 0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:38.630 Oh, yeah, yeah. That's not out of the box yet 0:29:38.750 --> 0:29:40.700 because of the Panthers. Are you dressing up, Sam, to 0:29:40.740 --> 0:29:41.220 call the game? 0:29:42.700 --> 0:29:44.600 I got to know a few. I can't go solo here. 0:29:44.620 --> 0:29:46.000 You know, I dress up when I go. 0:29:46.120 --> 0:29:47.110 You and EC. 0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:48.430 Which I'm going to get to miss out on. 0:29:48.530 --> 0:29:51.650 Y'all need a deal, a play-by-play handshake on it that 0:29:51.670 --> 0:29:53.290 you will both dress up Saturday night. 0:29:53.310 --> 0:29:54.469 That's what we need. 0:29:54.850 --> 0:29:57.130 I love EC and Dell, but I'm a little nervous. 0:29:57.210 --> 0:29:58.970 They might say, hey, Sam, we're dressing up, and I 0:29:59.010 --> 0:30:02.380 could show up, you know, dress up, and they're like– 0:30:02.590 --> 0:30:05.170 What's wrong with the radio guy here? I don't know. 0:30:05.190 --> 0:30:07.810 You should dress up as Lenny and Squiggy from Laverne 0:30:07.870 --> 0:30:09.750 and Troy. You and EC together? Oh, that'd be good. 0:30:09.790 --> 0:30:12.410 That'd be good. I could see Sam being a Squiggy. 0:30:14.910 --> 0:30:18.100 He was a small one, right? I actually don't remember. 0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:20.300 Lenny was the tall one. Yeah, you'd be a Squiggy, 0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:20.960 I feel like. 0:30:21.460 --> 0:30:21.780 I do. 0:30:21.980 --> 0:30:25.100 I feel like. All right. Anyway, what are we doing? 0:30:25.300 --> 0:30:27.160 All right, Sam. Appreciate you, brother. Be good. 0:30:28.070 --> 0:30:29.130 Thank you, guys. Have a good one. 0:30:29.510 --> 0:30:32.310 All right, there you go. That is Sam Farber, voice 0:30:32.330 --> 0:30:37.820 of the Hornets. People are now mad at him, Bo. Oh, really? 0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:40.460 Don't get mad at Squiggy Farber. Yeah, please do not. 0:30:41.740 --> 0:30:42.540 People keep bringing up. 0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:48.620 See on James, like why is see on James not benched? He's, 0:30:48.660 --> 0:30:50.730 you know, because of the way he's shooting, there's a 0:30:50.770 --> 0:30:54.590 difference between missing shots and like an effort. And again, 0:30:54.650 --> 0:30:56.470 it's hard. And I will say this, this is the one, 0:30:56.840 --> 0:30:58.760 one point that a MIT made and a couple other 0:30:58.800 --> 0:31:02.960 texters made that's fair. We don't know exactly what he 0:31:03.020 --> 0:31:06.580 did that was below the standard. So we're all trying 0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:08.540 to guess. We're looking at the video clips and all 0:31:08.580 --> 0:31:09.220 this sort of thing. 0:31:09.540 --> 0:31:10.240 But we don't know. 0:31:10.800 --> 0:31:12.790 What I am defending Charles Lee for is if a 0:31:12.850 --> 0:31:15.210 coach feels like someone is not meeting the standard and 0:31:15.250 --> 0:31:17.330 wants to send a message to him and the entire team, 0:31:17.710 --> 0:31:20.070 I'm here for it. That's called coaching. So that's my 0:31:20.110 --> 0:31:24.570 whole point today. But there's a difference bone between what 0:31:24.610 --> 0:31:28.350 it feels like Nas Reed got benched for Whether it's effort, attitude, 0:31:28.390 --> 0:31:31.390 I don't know. But I just can't imagine Charles Lee 0:31:31.430 --> 0:31:34.760 would bench someone for a full half because, oh, he's 0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:36.200 just not making shots. 0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:39.460 Yeah, performance and standard are two completely different things. 0:31:39.540 --> 0:31:41.480 So that's what I'm trying to say. Now, do I 0:31:41.540 --> 0:31:43.180 want Sion to play less minutes? 0:31:43.220 --> 0:31:43.840 Yes, I do. 0:31:43.980 --> 0:31:45.880 I want Conn Knipple to come back and be the 0:31:45.920 --> 0:31:48.440 starting shooting guard. I want Kobe White to come back 0:31:48.830 --> 0:31:52.090 so actually Christian Anderson doesn't have to play the minutes too, Bone. 0:31:52.650 --> 0:31:54.730 And we can have Dennis Schroeder as the back. I 0:31:54.750 --> 0:31:55.830 want all those things. 0:31:56.490 --> 0:31:59.290 Mac, I have an update on Willie P's love of moons. 0:31:59.890 --> 0:32:03.110 That was a theme last hour in our group chat 0:32:03.130 --> 0:32:06.360 that you're involved in. He could not believe in our school, 0:32:06.520 --> 0:32:09.300 our upbringing. We did not go through the moon phases 0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:12.380 in school. He then says Finney got it wrong on 0:32:12.420 --> 0:32:14.380 the air. And this is the last text I see 0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:17.840 quote from Willie P in a text. A waning crescent 0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:21.010 is right at the end before the new moon. A 0:32:21.070 --> 0:32:24.550 waning gibbous is what we had last night. I know, 0:32:24.590 --> 0:32:26.160 moon man. Don't play me. 0:32:27.950 --> 0:32:30.510 You do know, sir. Who are you trying to fool? 0:32:31.180 --> 0:32:34.230 Someone else asked us that. Do you not remember that 0:32:34.250 --> 0:32:37.470 from school? We didn't have moon glass. Now, you're saying 0:32:37.510 --> 0:32:40.320 you never learned it. What I am saying is, and 0:32:40.380 --> 0:32:44.280 I thought most adults were like me, I have not 0:32:44.380 --> 0:32:47.910 retained much of what I learned in school. And don't 0:32:47.950 --> 0:32:50.070 let the kids hear this. If the kids are listening, 0:32:50.190 --> 0:32:52.890 earmuff the kids right now. Because you are taught a 0:32:52.950 --> 0:32:55.270 lot in school that you don't need to know to 0:32:55.510 --> 0:32:59.100 actually be successful in your life. A bunch of crap. 0:32:59.340 --> 0:33:01.820 But anyway, I'm not good at remembering that stuff. 0:33:01.840 --> 0:33:05.920 We had the Jay Hardell moon incident where he mooned people, 0:33:06.300 --> 0:33:08.300 but we didn't have moon class. That was a whole 0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:10.830 different separate thing there. There was a kid in school. 0:33:10.920 --> 0:33:12.650 Oh, yeah. Moon the opposing fans. 0:33:12.830 --> 0:33:16.450 Yeah. And nobody said no teacher said, let me take 0:33:16.490 --> 0:33:18.070 a moment here to point out that was a waning 0:33:18.590 --> 0:33:19.470 gibbous right there. 0:33:19.540 --> 0:33:20.020 That move. 0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:25.180 No, no one want to see that crescent. When we 0:33:25.540 --> 0:33:28.610 we have really gone off the rails here. We're having 0:33:28.630 --> 0:33:30.930 a good time, though, when we come back here on 0:33:30.970 --> 0:33:34.230 the Mac and Bone radio show. Obviously, I'm ready to 0:33:34.270 --> 0:33:37.440 go to break here. Who is pantering up? Is anyone 0:33:37.480 --> 0:33:40.980 expecting a bounce back tonight from the team? Our picks 0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:44.460 are next. What will we do? What will Finney do? 0:33:44.940 --> 0:33:46.850 Stay tuned. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. 0:34:15.590 --> 0:34:19.730 Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ, Mack and Bone with you. 0:34:19.739 --> 0:34:20.899 It's been a lively one, man. 0:34:20.920 --> 0:34:24.180 This Nas Reed benching and Charles Lee just basically telling 0:34:24.219 --> 0:34:25.480 Shannon Spake, yeah, I did it. 0:34:26.120 --> 0:34:27.700 He didn't meet the standards, so I did it. 0:34:27.719 --> 0:34:29.950 He sat out the whole half, and the Hornets went 0:34:29.969 --> 0:34:33.609 from a seven-point lead to losing the game last night 0:34:34.010 --> 0:34:37.690 in Detroit by eight, 97-89. They continue. And this is 0:34:37.710 --> 0:34:39.550 the reason why people are mad. They continue to struggle 0:34:39.570 --> 0:34:41.980 to score points. They only scored 38 in the second half. 0:34:42.460 --> 0:34:45.120 It's Brandon Miller or bust a lot. And I can't 0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:47.819 stress enough that I am begging the sports gods to 0:34:47.840 --> 0:34:50.989 give us Khan and Kobe back. But it doesn't sound 0:34:51.030 --> 0:34:52.670 like we don't still have a timetable. 0:34:52.730 --> 0:34:54.489 Matt, would you like a celebrity text that came in 0:34:54.530 --> 0:34:54.989 during the break? 0:34:55.010 --> 0:34:55.190 Oh, yeah. 0:34:55.210 --> 0:34:55.649 What we got? 0:34:55.810 --> 0:34:59.509 Just curious. What exactly is the standard? Sincerely, Grayson Allen. 0:35:01.920 --> 0:35:02.320 You see. 0:35:02.340 --> 0:35:05.060 Hey, he's been fine. He's not a problem. He wasn't 0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:07.819 the first guy to bench, all right? He's being good 0:35:07.860 --> 0:35:08.210 out there so far. 0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:09.279 That is true. That is true. Did you. 0:35:09.300 --> 0:35:09.380 Yeah. 0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:12.590 You see, Grayson made... Dare I say, good leadership from Grayson. 0:35:12.950 --> 0:35:15.270 Grayson made Shaqton a fool last night. Did you see it? 0:35:15.270 --> 0:35:18.090 Yes, I did. I, by the way, I was watching 0:35:18.110 --> 0:35:20.780 cause I was away. So when I watched Hornets nets, 0:35:21.380 --> 0:35:22.980 I was doing the thing where I was fast forwarding 0:35:23.020 --> 0:35:24.380 through like the downtime and stuff. 0:35:24.760 --> 0:35:27.100 Somehow I missed what he did against the nets. We 0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:28.530 didn't even talk about the inbounds. 0:35:28.570 --> 0:35:28.890 Yeah. 0:35:29.030 --> 0:35:31.790 He went and somebody, I forget who it was through 0:35:31.810 --> 0:35:34.930 the inbounds pass to him. He grabbed it, stepped out 0:35:34.950 --> 0:35:36.859 of bounds, and tried to throw the inbounds pass into 0:35:36.890 --> 0:35:40.700 somebody else. Of course that's not legal. We had to 0:35:40.739 --> 0:35:43.080 give possession up, but Shaq got on him. The boys 0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:45.720 got on him last night, man. It's a bad moment. 0:35:45.739 --> 0:35:46.799 That's not bench-worthy, though. 0:35:46.820 --> 0:35:49.259 That's a knucklehead moment, but I believe that might not 0:35:49.300 --> 0:35:52.810 be the standard bone of smart basketball, but I don't 0:35:52.850 --> 0:35:56.089 believe that's going to be bench-worthy. All right, let's talk Panthers, though, 0:35:56.190 --> 0:35:58.069 and this is the segment. All right, because coming up, 0:35:58.550 --> 0:36:01.770 we're pretty full here. in the last hour of the show. 0:36:01.810 --> 0:36:04.259 So coming up at nine o'clock, it's our usual, even 0:36:04.280 --> 0:36:06.200 though it's game day, it's a Thursday, right? So our 0:36:06.260 --> 0:36:10.750 usual Thursday conversation with Jones Angel. We can talk about 0:36:10.770 --> 0:36:14.270 the heels and the controversial loss. I'm still not sure 0:36:14.290 --> 0:36:18.340 that dude scored. to Syracuse and moving forward with Miami, 0:36:18.390 --> 0:36:21.400 number one this week. Talk about the Charlotte game for 0:36:21.420 --> 0:36:24.060 the basketball side. And then Ryan Wood, who covers the 0:36:24.100 --> 0:36:27.640 Packers in Green Bay, going to join us to kind 0:36:27.680 --> 0:36:32.109 of know your enemy type thing, Bone, coming up at 925. 0:36:32.110 --> 0:36:36.070 And Husky Pants has agreed, Bone, to be the pep talker. 0:36:36.110 --> 0:36:38.310 We realized today we were not prepared. We were kind 0:36:38.330 --> 0:36:40.890 of like the coaching staff on Sunday. We were not 0:36:40.950 --> 0:36:44.609 prepared bone for a Thursday pep talker. So, uh, we've 0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:46.900 gotten Husky pants to do it, but it comes with 0:36:46.940 --> 0:36:49.980 a warning. He was at the dentist this morning and said, 0:36:50.020 --> 0:36:52.480 he is talking with a lisp. I said, let's do 0:36:52.520 --> 0:36:55.820 it anyway, baby. Let's power through. 0:36:56.080 --> 0:36:58.120 We have thousands of listeners, believe it or not. This 0:36:58.180 --> 0:37:02.130 is what we came up with. Lisp happens. Lisp happens. 0:37:02.230 --> 0:37:04.410 A guy that might be drugged up and can't talk 0:37:04.469 --> 0:37:07.810 is doing our pep talk. And that's above Sirloin the 0:37:07.830 --> 0:37:10.669 Beef who got benched. What's he feeling today? Sirloin's doing 0:37:10.710 --> 0:37:11.750 a colonoscopy. 0:37:11.790 --> 0:37:13.209 Sirloin right now is our Nas Reed. 0:37:13.350 --> 0:37:16.359 He's getting a colonoscopy today, Sirloin. So he's singing. 0:37:16.380 --> 0:37:19.320 Oh, is he really? Moon river. That's what he's singing 0:37:19.360 --> 0:37:20.020 right now. Is he really? 0:37:20.120 --> 0:37:20.380 Yeah. 0:37:20.460 --> 0:37:22.020 So these were the options that were put in front 0:37:22.060 --> 0:37:22.230 of us. 0:37:22.400 --> 0:37:26.469 Well, for the record, Mac volunteered me and bone rejected 0:37:26.489 --> 0:37:27.330 me quicker than a woman. 0:37:27.350 --> 0:37:29.330 That was so funny. I said, what about Panther? 0:37:29.350 --> 0:37:33.370 No, no. By the way, Moon River is not part 0:37:33.430 --> 0:37:34.650 of the Willie P. 0:37:34.710 --> 0:37:36.910 Educational experience. No, it is not. It is not. 0:37:36.930 --> 0:37:39.910 All right, anyway, let's have the conversation. Y'all can feel 0:37:39.950 --> 0:37:42.509 free to chime in, too. We're talking about how we're 0:37:42.530 --> 0:37:45.820 seeing all these graphics. The national media all seem to 0:37:45.860 --> 0:37:49.220 be flocking to the Packers, who I need to point out, Bone, 0:37:49.500 --> 0:37:51.940 are far from perfect. Four and three last place in 0:37:51.980 --> 0:37:55.560 their division overall. all kinds of issues running the football bony. 0:37:57.010 --> 0:38:01.770 They have been far from great themselves, but they need 0:38:01.790 --> 0:38:04.690 this one too. They're, they're sitting there four and three 0:38:04.730 --> 0:38:06.990 in their division, four and three in our division bone 0:38:07.430 --> 0:38:10.840 would be cause for celebration, a parade. Four and three 0:38:10.880 --> 0:38:13.879 in the north has you in last place and in 0:38:14.180 --> 0:38:17.219 desperation mode. So that's what we're up against. But our 0:38:17.280 --> 0:38:21.299 boys have this track record of responding when doubted, when 0:38:21.340 --> 0:38:22.130 we take an L. 0:38:23.020 --> 0:38:26.930 What do you think, Bone? Is this a Panther up occasion? 0:38:28.170 --> 0:38:31.210 This is tough because I think it's going to be close, 0:38:31.870 --> 0:38:36.469 but my offensive line fears have me not taking the 0:38:36.510 --> 0:38:37.290 Panthers tonight. 0:38:38.210 --> 0:38:39.630 I am taking Green Bay. 0:38:39.630 --> 0:38:45.620 28 to 20 over the Panthers. 0:38:46.500 --> 0:38:49.080 Sorry to do it, but I'm an honest journalist. You 0:38:49.120 --> 0:38:52.260 couldn't go there. I have Green Bay winning tonight at home. 0:38:52.300 --> 0:38:55.250 When you say O-line concerns, you think their pass rush 0:38:55.290 --> 0:38:59.049 gets after Bryce. You think we can't run it. We 0:38:59.070 --> 0:39:01.109 think They get after Bryce and he turns it over. 0:39:01.150 --> 0:39:01.969 Like, what do you think? 0:39:01.989 --> 0:39:04.950 I think that the pass rush bothers Bryce to the 0:39:05.010 --> 0:39:08.049 point where they can't put up enough points to compete 0:39:08.090 --> 0:39:10.739 with the Packers offense, who I think will against the 0:39:10.760 --> 0:39:11.660 Panthers defense tonight. 0:39:11.900 --> 0:39:14.080 And that matchup of, I know Golden. 0:39:15.060 --> 0:39:18.110 is questionable, but Watson is going to be a major 0:39:18.140 --> 0:39:19.319 problem for this defense. 0:39:19.450 --> 0:39:20.089 I worry about that. 0:39:20.370 --> 0:39:22.850 The wide receivers didn't have to do anything against us 0:39:22.910 --> 0:39:25.550 on Sunday, but tonight, Watson, he could eat tonight. 0:39:25.790 --> 0:39:26.450 I have a feeling. 0:39:26.469 --> 0:39:28.509 I don't take pride in this selection, by the way, 0:39:28.550 --> 0:39:29.950 but I got to be honest with my pick here. 0:39:29.980 --> 0:39:32.180 You're not happy with yourself, but you are being real. 0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:32.969 You're being true. 0:39:33.030 --> 0:39:34.969 And I respect it, Boney. I will say this. 0:39:35.510 --> 0:39:37.989 I would expect their quarterback to throw it more than 0:39:37.989 --> 0:39:40.270 11 times, and I would also expect him not to 0:39:40.310 --> 0:39:43.509 have a Michael Jackson glove on. Those two things I 0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:46.000 think will be true. Actually, if Jordan Love can throw it, well, 0:39:46.020 --> 0:39:48.040 I'll sign that deal right now. If Jordan Love wants 0:39:48.060 --> 0:39:50.140 to throw it 11 times tonight, let's sign the contract 0:39:50.460 --> 0:39:52.299 right now. Put the game in the hands of that 0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:55.620 crappy running game. Okay, I don't blame you. 0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:56.400 I don't blame you. 0:39:56.440 --> 0:39:59.340 Although an eight-point loss, although I feel like we've lost 0:39:59.940 --> 0:40:01.180 to them by eight a lot. I was looking at 0:40:01.200 --> 0:40:07.940 good scores the other day. But eight-point loss is, that's 0:40:08.020 --> 0:40:09.500 more points than I would think. 0:40:10.080 --> 0:40:13.890 Fit daddy. What do you say? Panther Fetty, are you, 0:40:14.320 --> 0:40:16.279 as if there's any doubt, Panthering up? 0:40:18.090 --> 0:40:22.029 Hell yeah, I'm Panthering up, Mac. This is what Carolina does, man. 0:40:22.070 --> 0:40:25.550 Just when you want to quit on them, quit believing 0:40:25.610 --> 0:40:28.910 in them, like the national media and half our fan 0:40:28.950 --> 0:40:31.730 base is already done after what happened on Monday, they'll 0:40:31.750 --> 0:40:34.549 remind you why it's okay to believe in what Dave 0:40:34.590 --> 0:40:37.970 Canales and what Bryce Young, what they are doing. Look, 0:40:38.070 --> 0:40:42.430 it's a short week. On the road, all odds would 0:40:42.450 --> 0:40:46.310 tell you to pick Green Bay. I think Bryce Young responds, 0:40:46.350 --> 0:40:48.530 so I think Bryce Young will not have the turnovers 0:40:48.550 --> 0:40:51.950 that he had on Sunday. Hopefully his offensive line blocks 0:40:51.969 --> 0:40:54.090 a lot better. If not, Rasheed Walker might get cut, 0:40:54.760 --> 0:40:56.760 and I would not necessarily be against that. 0:40:57.219 --> 0:40:58.900 The defense is going to take what happened. 0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:02.200 To them Sunday personal, worried about those corners and what's 0:41:02.219 --> 0:41:04.960 going to happen to them in the passing game, but 0:41:05.020 --> 0:41:06.359 I think it's going to be a close game late. 0:41:07.390 --> 0:41:09.830 And I think that's when Bryce Young is usually at 0:41:09.890 --> 0:41:12.549 his best. He'll be at his best tonight. I think 0:41:12.590 --> 0:41:15.200 Carolina wins this one on the road. 0:41:15.200 --> 0:41:15.620 27, 23. 0:41:15.620 --> 0:41:19.819 He's our short week expert back. 0:41:20.620 --> 0:41:24.920 Him and Bryce both. That's the thing. You're going to 0:41:24.940 --> 0:41:27.859 doubt Bryce on a short week. Y'all seriously. Y'all going 0:41:27.880 --> 0:41:29.640 to do that. I'm sorry, Bryce. I'm sorry. 0:41:30.350 --> 0:41:34.009 I really, here's the problem. I believe a lot of 0:41:34.090 --> 0:41:37.009 what you're saying, man. Like I just believe they are 0:41:37.030 --> 0:41:39.910 going to respond. They are going to play with an edge, 0:41:40.270 --> 0:41:44.370 play angry tonight. I definitely though get bones concerns about 0:41:44.410 --> 0:41:47.450 the O-line, no doubt about it. And do we have 0:41:47.489 --> 0:41:50.589 pass rush without Phillips in this game? You know, we're 0:41:50.610 --> 0:41:52.420 going to have to blitz, but Jordan Love's got a 0:41:52.420 --> 0:41:55.340 95 rating with seven tutties against a blitz this year. 0:41:56.680 --> 0:41:57.480 I'm so torn. 0:41:57.520 --> 0:41:59.839 I also don't want to mess this game up tonight either. 0:42:00.340 --> 0:42:05.560 And I feel like I'm a problem. Don't watch. Now 0:42:05.640 --> 0:42:08.530 I can't even watch the games. I curse with just 0:42:08.570 --> 0:42:09.370 my eyeballs. 0:42:09.810 --> 0:42:13.250 Tough crowd. I'm going to say they bounce back. Bryce 0:42:13.290 --> 0:42:14.430 plays a lot better. 0:42:15.810 --> 0:42:17.609 I really think they're going to win. Do it! I'm 0:42:17.630 --> 0:42:19.710 going to say, you want me to do it? You 0:42:19.730 --> 0:42:20.569 can't handle the truth. 0:42:20.590 --> 0:42:21.980 Say it. 0:42:22.020 --> 0:42:23.779 You want me on that wall? Say it, say it, 0:42:23.820 --> 0:42:25.240 say it, say it, say it, say. 0:42:25.239 --> 0:42:25.739 It, say it. 0:42:25.760 --> 0:42:26.920 You need me on that wall? 0:42:26.940 --> 0:42:28.500 Or you walk up to the wall and then you 0:42:28.520 --> 0:42:34.750 pick the backers. Your old okey-doke move. Packers 27-24. Go 0:42:37.570 --> 0:42:41.569 scratch yourself. I do believe Finney this year. I hate 0:42:41.590 --> 0:42:42.879 doing that. What was the game, Finney. 0:42:42.890 --> 0:42:44.589 This year where Mack and I both picked the opponent 0:42:44.610 --> 0:42:46.400 and you picked Detroit? 0:42:46.480 --> 0:42:48.740 Was that it? I can't remember what it was. Yeah. 0:42:48.820 --> 0:42:51.620 Where Finney was right. It worked against Detroit. Does history, 0:42:52.420 --> 0:42:54.919 the old saying there, does history repeat itself? I really 0:42:54.940 --> 0:42:56.900 hope so, guys. Does history repeat itself? Is this the formula? 0:42:57.080 --> 0:42:58.280 Me and Bone go against. 0:42:58.540 --> 0:43:01.600 Tonight's a big night. I'm watching this game with Maddie. 0:43:01.900 --> 0:43:04.060 Oh, man. This is good. Not smoke? 0:43:04.340 --> 0:43:04.920 Not smoke. 0:43:05.040 --> 0:43:05.239 Nope. 0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:07.739 There's no postgame, so I'm going to run pregame. I'm 0:43:07.760 --> 0:43:09.570 going to do the Mac thing. I'm going to rush 0:43:09.620 --> 0:43:11.090 my ass, well, to her house. 0:43:11.430 --> 0:43:12.890 Oh, this could be the end of the relationship. 0:43:13.010 --> 0:43:15.750 Once she sees Panther fitting, once she sees live sporting 0:43:15.810 --> 0:43:16.450 event fitting. 0:43:16.710 --> 0:43:18.509 She saw the other night, she saw me have to 0:43:18.550 --> 0:43:20.790 watch UNC football lose to Syracuse. 0:43:21.030 --> 0:43:21.570 Oh, okay. 0:43:21.630 --> 0:43:23.870 If she can handle that and stills around, then yeah, 0:43:23.930 --> 0:43:26.110 I think this could be long-term then. 0:43:26.180 --> 0:43:28.020 I have a question, Finney, an honest question. 0:43:28.060 --> 0:43:28.520 What's up, Boney? 0:43:28.540 --> 0:43:29.580 When's the last time you've been home? 0:43:30.890 --> 0:43:32.209 I was home for a little bit last night. 0:43:32.550 --> 0:43:35.770 I feel like Mackie's very nomadic right now in his travel. 0:43:35.810 --> 0:43:36.190 He is. 0:43:36.530 --> 0:43:37.890 It was brought to my attention. 0:43:38.219 --> 0:43:42.219 I had my beloved grandmother tell me Sunday morning that 0:43:42.300 --> 0:43:44.180 she was disappointed in me. 0:43:45.140 --> 0:43:48.500 Momo's not happy. Don't forget Momo. Wait till the girlfriend 0:43:48.540 --> 0:43:49.239 says the same thing. 0:43:49.260 --> 0:43:54.680 That'll happen sooner rather than later. Poor Momo's being left alone. 0:43:54.920 --> 0:43:56.200 Can we send somebody over? 0:43:56.360 --> 0:43:59.529 Send Flounder over there. Yeah, send Flounder over there to 0:43:59.590 --> 0:44:01.430 hang out with Momo. That's a good call, Bo. 0:44:02.910 --> 0:44:05.830 When we come back, Jones Angel, Tar Heel Radio Network. 0:44:06.190 --> 0:44:08.810 We'll talk about the end of the Syracuse game, what's 0:44:08.850 --> 0:44:13.060 coming up. against Miami and reaction from the Hoops win 0:44:13.180 --> 0:44:14.160 over Charlotte as well. 0:44:14.180 --> 0:44:15.360 Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
