Speaker 1: This week on a Happy Half Hour.
Speaker 2: Fans were conditioned to seeing their starters for a quarter
Speaker 2: in the first game, and a half in the second game,
Speaker 2: and then into the third quarter in the third game.
Speaker 2: Those days are over as teams get more and more
Speaker 2: involved in other ways to get their preseason work in
Speaker 2: without putting their quarterback at risk.
Speaker 1: Touchdown. Cow wha, It's time for the Happy Half Hour
Speaker 1: presented by Southern Star, an official bourbon of the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 1: Here are your hosts, Darren Kant and Cassidy Hill.
Speaker 2: Hello, friends, and welcome to another edition of the Happy
Speaker 2: Half Hour presented by a Southern Star, an official bourbon
Speaker 2: partner of the Carolina Panthers. Celebrate the spirit of the
Speaker 2: Carolinas a little Southern Star. No editorial comment about the
Speaker 2: need for Southern Star after preseason game one. We'll just
Speaker 2: kind of leave that one where it is. I feel
Speaker 2: compelled by union rules that we have to discuss that
Speaker 2: a little bit.
Speaker 3: I guess sure, probably not too much like ten words.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hit me with your best.
Speaker 3: Now, I got to come up with ten words.
Speaker 2: I've got a few, expect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, did in parts? That's three?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like writing haiku on your fingers over here.
Speaker 2: You're counting out syllables.
Speaker 3: Encouraging back up secondary. Okay, slow offense, no starters, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: how about this.
Speaker 2: I don't know how many of this is. I'm just
Speaker 2: going to say it, pay no attention to the man
Speaker 2: behind the curtain or the man in front of the
Speaker 2: curtain or the curtain. I truly decided about an hour
Speaker 2: and a half before that game kicked off, when we
Speaker 2: put out the list of inactive players who weren't going
Speaker 2: to be joining us during that game was playing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, there's not a lot to be
Speaker 2: learned here tonight, because when the starters on both sides
Speaker 2: of the ball sit, it really does put a damper
Speaker 2: on what you're gonna do. I mean, preseason is always
Speaker 2: such a mixed bag anyway, because you go into a
Speaker 2: game not sure what your opponent is going to do.
Speaker 2: And I don't think anybody fully expected the Patriots to
Speaker 2: go with this weird quarterback rotation where it's Jacoby Brissett
Speaker 2: then Drake May for a series, but then Bailey's appy
Speaker 2: for a long long time. So I mean, it's always
Speaker 2: tough to try to get a handle on that. What
Speaker 2: we saw was not a whole lot of offense, and
Speaker 2: that is to be expected when you're playing an undrafted
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback in Jack Plumber and the backup offensive line
Speaker 2: which was down to five healthy guys by the end
Speaker 2: of it. So poor ol Brady Christiansen, a former seventeen
Speaker 2: game starter not that long ago, was out there with
Speaker 2: undrafted rookies and it was just a real mixed bag
Speaker 2: of stuff. So I know it's been a long time
Speaker 2: and everybody was excited to see football. It's just that
Speaker 2: that wasn't it.
Speaker 3: If you ever read that Obi Keeler game story says
Speaker 3: I thought I knew a football wise, but how I
Speaker 3: don't think I do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was confusing. There was a lot of that
Speaker 2: going around. But I mean that's kind of the danger
Speaker 2: of the preseason, and that's the way this thing is going.
Speaker 2: More and more. I think the old days where fans
Speaker 2: were conditioned to seeing their starters for a quarter in
Speaker 2: the first game, and a half in the second game,
Speaker 2: and then into the third quarter in the third game,
Speaker 2: those days are over. That's gone and it ain't coming back.
Speaker 2: As teams get more and more involved in other ways
Speaker 2: to get their preseason work. In without putting their quarterback
Speaker 2: at risk. I think a lot of teams are trying
Speaker 2: to go to that. I did a little journalism and
Speaker 2: realized that of the thirty two teams in the NFL,
Speaker 2: seventeen of them did not play their starting quarterbacks last week,
Speaker 2: opting for safety rather than anything you'll judge. I mean, really,
Speaker 2: when you look at the list of the teams that did,
Speaker 2: I know, fans have been you know, or a certain
Speaker 2: segment of the fan base, and we'll get to that later,
Speaker 2: but a certain segment of the fan base is like, well,
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes played, Josh Allen played, Josh Allen was two
Speaker 2: of three for twenty two yards before leaving for the
Speaker 2: safety of the bench area. So what did Josh Allen
Speaker 2: really learn?
Speaker 3: Are the Buffalo Allen had has like a completely new
Speaker 3: wide receiver course, right?
Speaker 2: And so did we learn that much more about Josh
Speaker 2: Allen in those three very short pass attempts. I don't
Speaker 2: think we did, so I understand and listen self awareness.
Speaker 2: I appreciate everybody being so passionate about professional football. It
Speaker 2: has helped me create a comfortable life from me and
Speaker 2: my family, and I am grateful for that. But being
Speaker 2: too invested in what happens in August. Professional football is
Speaker 2: probably not wise because it's less and less resembling actual
Speaker 2: professional football, so let's weigh it accordingly.
Speaker 3: You also have more and more joint practices, More teams
Speaker 3: are going to that it's something that the Panthers are
Speaker 3: doing this week, and you have seventeen games. You never
Speaker 3: ever want to say it's okay to lose a game,
Speaker 3: but you have a little more wiggle room in the
Speaker 3: regular season now to get the rust off, to get
Speaker 3: the gears going. It hurts when you're opening your season
Speaker 3: against a divisional opponent because you never ever want to
Speaker 3: drop one of those games, but you do have a
Speaker 3: little bit more wiggle room in the regular season to
Speaker 3: kind of figure things out, so to speak.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And I'll be honest with you. Maybe it's
Speaker 2: just that I've been doing this for thirty years and
Speaker 2: seeing a lot of bad preseason football over the years,
Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter all that much in the big
Speaker 2: scheme of things. And to your point, our joint practices
Speaker 2: are a better way to get your work in because
Speaker 2: here's what Dave Canalis and Robert Salah have done in
Speaker 2: planning the joint practices that will begin tomorrow here Bank
Speaker 2: of America Stadium with the New York Jets. They'll get
Speaker 2: together and they'll say, for instance, and I haven't seen
Speaker 2: to Mar's practice script, they can say, all right, let's
Speaker 2: do twelve plays of red zone, and then let's do
Speaker 2: twelve plays of move the ball two minute, and then
Speaker 2: let's do twelve plays of live run with our ones
Speaker 2: against our ones. They can plan exact scenarios and repeat them.
Speaker 2: And it's a better practice situation when you know you're
Speaker 2: getting twelve plays back to back of X or Y
Speaker 2: or whatever it happens to be. In a game, if
Speaker 2: your undrafted rookie quarterback hurls an eighty yard touchdown pass,
Speaker 2: that might be all the work you get in that quarter,
Speaker 2: and then you know, it changes the entire dynamic of
Speaker 2: the game. I mean, the game situations are unpredictable in
Speaker 2: an actual game, So you can predict the work, you
Speaker 2: can control the work, and most importantly, you can put
Speaker 2: a red jersey on your quarterbacks. And that's the absolute
Speaker 2: biggest thing. I mean, no one is suggesting that poor
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy in Minnesota suffered the meniscus injury. That's going
Speaker 2: to end his rookie season before it began in a game.
Speaker 2: He was hurt in a game, but you know, you
Speaker 2: can never predict when those things are going to happen.
Speaker 2: But the Vikings probably wish he would have not done
Speaker 2: that in the preseason opener. So I think coaches indifference
Speaker 2: to trying to get scheduled work and really finally tuned,
Speaker 2: calibrated work with their opponents and protecting their quarterbacks. It's
Speaker 2: pointing in that direction.
Speaker 3: Coaches are creatures of habit and anything they can control
Speaker 3: they will favor, and that is what a practice is
Speaker 3: versus a game.
Speaker 2: Right, so you know, practice script versus unpredictable game. That's
Speaker 2: an easy choice for these guys. But still, I do
Speaker 2: think it's going to be an interesting day of work
Speaker 2: against the Jets. And one of the funny things to
Speaker 2: me is that's gotten a lot of attention in joint
Speaker 2: practices in the past. That second day. You know, that's
Speaker 2: when you see guys get sick of each other and
Speaker 2: they know they're not your own guys, and coaches always
Speaker 2: talk about take care of our own people. So we've
Speaker 2: seen big fights break out that joint practices in the past,
Speaker 2: usually there on the second day. So I think it's
Speaker 2: smart for Salah and Canalis to get together and say,
Speaker 2: let's just do this this one day and head that
Speaker 2: off the pass and Shaq Thompson got love him the
Speaker 2: conscience of that locker room. He nailed it today when
Speaker 2: we asked him about joint practices in general.
Speaker 4: Honestly, I'm old head, So hopefully ain't no fighting because
Speaker 4: you still got a practice, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: Regardless of the fighting and stuff like that. I just
Speaker 4: want to come out here, good, good work. We're going
Speaker 4: against a Hall of famer. It's great for the team.
Speaker 4: It's great for the young guys to go out there
Speaker 4: and see a Hall of Famer practice, see how he
Speaker 4: throws the ball, see how he makes his checks and
Speaker 4: stuff like that. So we just got to come out
Speaker 4: here and play our brand of football how we've been
Speaker 4: doing and just stick to ourselves, limited fights and just
Speaker 4: get the great work.
Speaker 3: I get where Shack's coming from, Darren, But do you,
Speaker 3: just as someone who has covered this sport for a
Speaker 3: long time, do you see the benefit of come rang
Speaker 3: that can be wrought in those moments?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean, as long as no way jerk somebody's helmet
Speaker 2: off their head and bashes an unprotected player or something
Speaker 2: like that. I mean, when guys get hurt in those fights.
Speaker 2: That's the danger I think there is. Anytime you're competing
Speaker 2: your people against somebody else's people, there's a little bit
Speaker 2: of that to be gained. And you know, again we've
Speaker 2: seen it in the last couple of years here. They've
Speaker 2: done joint practice with the Patriots with the Colts the
Speaker 2: last couple of years, and there is a bonding element
Speaker 2: in the simple act of going on the road and
Speaker 2: especially with teams doing training camp at home, including US now.
Speaker 2: And I enjoy that and I wasn't sure how I
Speaker 2: was gonna but I haven't missed my dorm mattress.
Speaker 3: Once we can get you one in here in your
Speaker 3: office and fittle health.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it might help honestly with what's coming
Speaker 2: into next couple of weeks. But but yeah, I just
Speaker 2: think that you can build your bonding in a lot
Speaker 2: of other ways. Guys are when they're competing, they're together,
Speaker 2: and you see that on the practice field every day,
Speaker 2: and you know, you just get a chance to do
Speaker 2: it against somebody else, which always freshens things up. This
Speaker 2: time of year.
Speaker 3: What matchup in this joint practice tomorrow. Are you looking
Speaker 3: forward to seeing the most.
Speaker 2: Well, and I'll kind of steal and we can you
Speaker 2: know hear from zero everro on this too. I mean,
Speaker 2: he said it the other day. Aaron Rodgers probably wouldn't
Speaker 2: have played in a game, but they're going to walk
Speaker 2: to the line of scrimmage and Aaron Rodgers is going
Speaker 2: to do his Aaron Rodgers thing where he calls out
Speaker 2: your play at the line of scrimmage. And if Vero
Speaker 2: was great talking about the other day, listen to this.
Speaker 6: Going against Aaron Rodgers too. Just that level of communication
Speaker 6: and having to disguise everything and really be on point
Speaker 6: on what we're doing because any any weakness, anything that's
Speaker 6: not right, he's going to point it out, and so
Speaker 6: very invaluable for us.
Speaker 2: And sure, when a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers goes to
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage and goes chapter and verse through
Speaker 2: what you're doing, that's what those guys need to see
Speaker 2: because there are a lot of new pieces on that
Speaker 2: Panthers defense, as we've talked all off season about them,
Speaker 2: seeing that in real time is going to be helpful
Speaker 2: to them. So I mean, to me, even though he's
Speaker 2: in his forties, Even though he's a little kooky with
Speaker 2: some of his off the field stuff, and that's a
Speaker 2: good word, you know, political activism, and let's just leave
Speaker 2: it at that. He's still a fascinating football player to
Speaker 2: watch because of his ability to do what a arrow
Speaker 2: just described right.
Speaker 3: Very very cerebral in that way, and that can be
Speaker 3: a bigger test than physicality at times for a defense.
Speaker 2: And I mean, you know him, you were around him
Speaker 2: for a couple of years in Green Bay. What's he
Speaker 2: like on a day to day basis in practice and
Speaker 2: what do defensive players up there say about going against
Speaker 2: him on a routine basis in practice.
Speaker 3: He's a little bit like a cat toying with a mouse.
Speaker 3: He kind of likes to amp things up in practice
Speaker 3: and see what he can get away with, see what
Speaker 3: he can test a defense with in practice. It was
Speaker 3: always interesting to watch him at Dvante Adams to other
Speaker 3: in practice, because they would just go out there and
Speaker 3: do things that seem to defy the law of physics
Speaker 3: just to see if they could. And imagine how frustrating
Speaker 3: that is if you're a practice squad dB and you're
Speaker 3: having to go up against the best quarterback wide receiver
Speaker 3: combo in the game at the time, and they're just
Speaker 3: they're drawing up plays in the dirt just to see
Speaker 3: how much they can frustrate you. Yeh. And so he's
Speaker 3: also got I don't know if this is a fact.
Speaker 3: I'm sure he would be able to tell us. I
Speaker 3: don't know if he has an idetic memory, but he's
Speaker 3: got something pretty dang close. And I think that comes
Speaker 3: in play a lot when facing defenses and knowing what
Speaker 3: they're gonna do and therefore how to pick them apart.
Speaker 3: It's never a it's never an issue of the mind
Speaker 3: with him. It's just, you know, can his forty year
Speaker 3: old body still do what he knows it needs to
Speaker 3: do because he's always gonna make the right decision?
Speaker 2: Sure, and it didn't last year. He's done, I just think.
Speaker 2: And it's so it's a little bit so And that
Speaker 2: word gets overused a lot in sports. But thinking back
Speaker 2: to the Jets coming to Spartanburg last year, Aaron was
Speaker 2: coming to a new place for the first time. It
Speaker 2: was going to be new and unique, and it's the
Speaker 2: best hope the Jets have had in a long long time.
Speaker 2: And the Carolina Panthers had a number one overall pick
Speaker 2: quarterback and a brand new code to everybody thought well
Speaker 2: of going into the season and just seeing the scene
Speaker 2: seeing hard knocks, they are documenting the whole thing. I
Speaker 2: remember going over to take a picture of Bryce and
Speaker 2: Aaron talking before the practice began, and there's a boom
Speaker 2: mic hanging over their head for God's sakes, capturing it
Speaker 2: for the HBO film's footage.
Speaker 1: So it was just so.
Speaker 2: Wild and from where those teams thought they were going
Speaker 2: to be on that August day and where both of
Speaker 2: them ended up when things unfolded the way they did.
Speaker 2: It's kind of wild to imagine them getting back together
Speaker 2: in a completely different place physically and metaphorically tomorrow.
Speaker 3: So maybe this is the timeline reset they both needed.
Speaker 3: They jumped the wrong timeline and they had to come
Speaker 3: back to this spot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is this one of those Marvel things where we're
Speaker 2: in alternate Spartan Lind like something.
Speaker 3: Doctor Strange opened up a different timehold this time and
Speaker 3: they're going to take the right shot.
Speaker 2: Spartanburg too has tall buildings right.
Speaker 3: And less peaches.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Cy the peachoid. That's the one thing I
Speaker 2: have missed about Spartanburg. It's getting a chance to drive
Speaker 2: by it a time or two.
Speaker 3: You only.
Speaker 2: It brings a tear to my It truly is an
Speaker 2: architectural wonder, and your lack of appreciation for it is
Speaker 2: disturbing at any rate. So so then we've looked ahead
Speaker 2: to that joint practice. I do think it's worth spending
Speaker 2: a little bit of time on what we've seen the
Speaker 2: last two days here and allow me to crawl up
Speaker 2: on my old man's soapbox, if you will. I think
Speaker 2: that the way we consume professional football anymore is largely broken.
Speaker 2: New communication models that allow anybody to publish. Any fan
Speaker 2: that gets in the stands and can transmit one clip
Speaker 2: of one play during one segment of one practice can
Speaker 2: put something out into the universe that becomes what is
Speaker 2: almost a conventional wisdom, the only problem being it's neither
Speaker 2: conventional nor wise. Practice in training camp is designed to
Speaker 2: work all this stuff out, And one of the things
Speaker 2: that's frustrating to me is someone who's charged with putting
Speaker 2: responsible information about practice out in the universe, is it
Speaker 2: creates these impressions that everything's broken. Oh my god, it's
Speaker 2: going to be a disaster. Bryce thinks, you know, I
Speaker 2: hear this stuff when I get online, and I do
Speaker 2: my very best to stay out of the comments section.
Speaker 2: Some of it's unavoidable. But the one thing that is
Speaker 2: kind of lost in this instant analysis of one practice
Speaker 2: snap is some of this is by design. And I
Speaker 2: think one of the more interesting points that Dave Canalis
Speaker 2: has made lately is talking about, like in today's practice,
Speaker 2: there were a couple of interceptions, shy Tuttle jumps up
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage, snags one out of the air.
Speaker 2: If this happens during the regular season, our social media
Speaker 2: department photoshops a hamburger on top of the football, like
Speaker 2: we did with Derrick Brown a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: Trust me, it was beautiful. I was there and we're
Speaker 2: having fun talking about that. The other one was kind
Speaker 2: of a fifty to fifty ball. I mean, Troy Hill
Speaker 2: and Adam Thiel and a couple of salty old vets
Speaker 2: go up and Troy Hill made the play. So it
Speaker 2: wasn't as if these were abject disasters by Bryce Young
Speaker 2: really in either case. I mean, if a defensive lineman
Speaker 2: bats ball in the air and intercepts it or catches
Speaker 2: it clean that's kind of a fluke play and in
Speaker 2: most tellings of the Tail, but Canalis was interesting because
Speaker 2: obviously he gets asked about the pigs and he kind
Speaker 2: of broke down what it meant from his perspective.
Speaker 5: I mean, turnovers are always just something that we want
Speaker 5: to continue to look at and say what happened here
Speaker 5: and just get to the bottom of it. For me, again,
Speaker 5: the interceptions happen when we're trying, you know, so I
Speaker 5: have no problem with that. You know, it's if we're
Speaker 5: not throwing interceptions, we're not trying stuff. We're not trying
Speaker 5: to make those tight throws. And we know NFL football
Speaker 5: is tightly played. It's tight throws in particularly with our defense.
Speaker 5: The way that those guys are just continuing to hone in.
Speaker 5: You know, we've been playing against each other a lot.
Speaker 5: You know, they're taking advantage of those ops. So for me,
Speaker 5: I don't look too far into it other than just
Speaker 5: what happened on display, you know, so we can correct
Speaker 5: it and we can move forward.
Speaker 2: So yeah, if you know, it's almost like in race,
Speaker 2: and they say if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying,
Speaker 2: if you ain't throwing picks in practice in August. What
Speaker 2: are you really learning about this thing?
Speaker 3: You got to risk it to get the biscuit, Darren.
Speaker 2: There you go, risk it to.
Speaker 3: Get the biscuit. And I looked up Bryce's numbers from
Speaker 3: last year, and on first glance, you're like, oh, those
Speaker 3: are pretty respectable turnover numbers for a rookie in a
Speaker 3: weird way, especially in a two and fifteen season. They
Speaker 3: should have been higher. And I'll never forget when I
Speaker 3: was covering Trevor Lawrence as a rookie and it became
Speaker 3: pretty clear that the season was a wash, he just
Speaker 3: started chucking it up there and he took credit for it,
Speaker 3: not even blame credit. He said, this is on purpose.
Speaker 3: He's like, at this point, the rest of this season
Speaker 3: is about my development and figuring out how fast these
Speaker 3: windows close and where they are. I don't think that
Speaker 3: those chances were necessarily taken with Bryce last season. And
Speaker 3: you know this is the old cliche. You'd rather your
Speaker 3: quarterback throw those picks in August versus September or October,
Speaker 3: no question, And I think he needs to figure out
Speaker 3: what he can get away with, especially if they're going
Speaker 3: to be getting the ball out as quickly as Dave
Speaker 3: Canalis would like him to do. If they're gonna throw
Speaker 3: it deeper than maybe he did some last season, he's
Speaker 3: got to know where those spots are, where those windows are,
Speaker 3: and how these receivers move within those fifty to fifty balls.
Speaker 3: And so I never necessarily, if they're not egregious, which
Speaker 3: I don't think either of these two from Wednesday were.
Speaker 3: If they're not egregious, I never really see an issue
Speaker 3: with throwing interceptions in practice.
Speaker 6: M hm.
Speaker 3: And that's essentially what Canal has said as well.
Speaker 2: Sure, and I mean again, I've maybe it's because of
Speaker 2: all the scars I've built up in thirty pre seasons past,
Speaker 2: but I remember Jimmy Cuson. I know what a bad
Speaker 2: interception looks like. I know what you know an unfortunate
Speaker 2: one looks like. And I've seen my share. And it's
Speaker 2: not that it's not even covering for Bryce, it's just
Speaker 2: putting it in context and explaining what he's trying to do.
Speaker 2: I had somebody on a radio appearance this morning and
Speaker 2: ask me how Bryce was looking at I was like,
Speaker 2: Bryce looks like Bryce looks All the things that were
Speaker 2: true about him at Alabama remain true. He is accurate,
Speaker 2: he is smart, he knows how he knows how to
Speaker 2: read a defense and all those things. Now he is
Speaker 2: learning how to apply that at the NFL level in
Speaker 2: real time.
Speaker 3: And there were struggles last year.
Speaker 2: Obviously he's one of many people who need to improve
Speaker 2: over last year. But I do think to your point, Cass,
Speaker 2: I mean, learning how to calibrate how high Adam Feeling
Speaker 2: can get up the ladder on a twenty yard route
Speaker 2: is important for him to know because you're going to
Speaker 2: be in those situations this year.
Speaker 3: Something else that he did today that Canalis pointed out
Speaker 3: was his growth on the scramble drills, and almost hesitate
Speaker 3: to call some of them scramble drills. Technically, technically if
Speaker 3: he leaves the pocket, not by design, I guess it
Speaker 3: is a scramble drill, but because of Bryce's ability with
Speaker 3: his legs and his ability to throw off platforms so well,
Speaker 3: I don't even think they're thinking of them as a
Speaker 3: play that fell apart, but just a play that's shifted.
Speaker 3: And Canals mentioned today, you know, wanting Bryce to work
Speaker 3: on those more and more because that is where they
Speaker 3: feel one if Bryce's strength lies, and we saw him
Speaker 3: do that twice today wants to Derek Mingo Jonathan Mingo,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, all right, Jonathan Mingo.
Speaker 2: Erck Mingo is an exciting young prospect.
Speaker 3: There we go. I knew, I knew, I knew him
Speaker 3: from somewhere. One to Jonathan Mingo, one to Terrace Marshall Junior,
Speaker 3: where he quote unquote scrambled, got out of the pocket
Speaker 3: and reset himself outside. Actually I think one of them
Speaker 3: was on the run and then the other one. He
Speaker 3: reset himself and got what would be considered an explosive
Speaker 3: play on the stat sheet. And then Canalis mentioned afterwards.
Speaker 3: You know, that's something I want Bryce to understand, is
Speaker 3: that if you can by the time, you can still
Speaker 3: set up an explosive play. And we saw that a
Speaker 3: couple of times today. And so from the outside looking in,
Speaker 3: it looks like, oh, that play fell apart. It didn't
Speaker 3: go the way it was supposed to. It may have
Speaker 3: gone exactly the way they wanted it to. And again,
Speaker 3: you want to figure out what you can get away
Speaker 3: with in August versus October.
Speaker 2: No doubt about it, and you want to do it
Speaker 2: in as controlled a way as you can.
Speaker 3: So look at us come in full circle.
Speaker 2: We bring it all bring that joke right back around
Speaker 2: to the top. So I don't know it's going to
Speaker 2: be interesting. I mean, we'll have more for you next week.
Speaker 2: We'll break down that Jets joint practice, will break down
Speaker 2: whatever happens in that preseason game, And we don't really
Speaker 2: know who's gonna play in it yet. My suspicion is
Speaker 2: it's going to be closer to you know, Canal said
Speaker 2: today he did want to get guys sometime in the
Speaker 2: preseason just to see it. But I don't think he's
Speaker 2: looking for extended time, and I don't know whether he's
Speaker 2: looking for it this week or next.
Speaker 3: So I think we see some offensive strung.
Speaker 2: I think you're going to see some guys at some point. Again,
Speaker 2: is that Saturday night here against the Jets? Is it
Speaker 2: next Saturday in Buffalo and a matinee an afternoon in Buffalo?
Speaker 2: What could be better than that? So we'll look forward
Speaker 2: to breaking all that down for you next week when
Speaker 2: we come back on the Happy Half Hour.
