You're just everything Wisconsin, right, Yeah, And that's 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.200 why as we're going into Green Bay this weekend, I 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.600 get a chance to watch my Badger's play Iowa Saturday. 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.080 And you're going no, But I'll be like with a 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.280 buddy in Green Bay at a Badger bar, eating cheese, 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.200 curts and drinking spot a cow, which is about as 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:43.200 Wisconsin as you can get. We come absolutely. How good 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.080 does that? Did? Pause? Actually? I would like to do absolutely? 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.320 Do you guys want to watch the Badger game? I 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:51.680 mean I feel like if you're out of sports Bar, 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.880 there's going to be other games on as well. Sports 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.200 bar in Wisconsin, you're there for one reason, interesting and 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.880 one reason only. Um, this is not about basketball, but 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.119 it's about football. So this is what it's called a segre. 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:10.040 You a Jim Sorgy fan? Yeah, I mean Sworgy has 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.880 a bit of a kind of there's a love hate. 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.360 I don't know the whole story. I just worked with 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.720 him at the Colts because he was with the Colts 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.560 and now he's back. It's a really nice pro career. 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:24.160 It's a quarterback like he was always he just loved Wisconsin. 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.600 I mean he is. And he was like Peyton's backup 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.160 for a while, right, so, I mean he had like 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.120 the best job in sports, right. I mean, like Peyton 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.960 never came out of the game, so as his backup quarterback, 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.520 he pretty much just got to like be around one 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.880 of the best quarterbacks ever, never have to get hit. 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:44.120 He's he's the only other Wisconsin like so like fan 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.720 that I know. So yeah, like Swergy and and he 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.840 has he had a nice little run of Wisconsin. Wisconsin's 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.040 like quarterbacks have always sort of been exactly like Jim Sorgy. 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.720 It's like these guys who were like kind of limited 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.320 athletically but smart and just figure out a way to 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.280 get it done. Tough, smart, dependable, but it's not make 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.840 it for you the fan frustrated. No, I mean I 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.600 think yes at times, yes, like when Russell Wilson came there, 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:09.800 it was like, oh my god, look what happens when 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.720 we have like a dynamic athlete playing that position. Honestly, 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.360 I forgot that that happened. That was the most incredible year. 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.720 I forget Wisconsin. Had jj wat not declared this is 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.960 becoming a Wisconsin Badger podcast suddenly, so I apologize. Had 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.359 he not declared for the NFL, they would have had 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.839 j J and Russell Wilson on the same team. I mean, wow, 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.520 good Luck. You forget these things people, we forget these things. 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.440 But yeah, Sergy was a lot like Scott Tolzine, who 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.000 was a backup quarterbacks for a while when he was 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.880 in Indian and also an Indie similar just kind of 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.559 like did more with what they had than maybe people 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.480 expected them to. And the NFL career that sound too bad? 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:49.599 Do you remember in two seventeen I believe may have 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.800 been Scott Tolzine was backing up Andrew Luck and we 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.760 went to Green Bay and it was the Scott Tolzine 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.479 Show the whole week because it was like, who's you know? 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.720 Are not? You backed him up? You know all about him? 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.520 Tell us all about him. We don't have anyone like 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.440 that that we can go into the Walker room now. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.200 I mean who played with him? Uh? Well, obviously Julia's 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.960 Peppers Panthers employee. You know who did play? Why are 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:17.800 we not interviewing him?

I expect it to be super awesome 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.560 this week with his boy Aaron Rodgers being the focus. 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:31.560 Those those eyes are tight, Julius, like Julius talking about Aaron. 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.000 You could just like see in his eye the like 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.560 respect and love he has for Aaron Rodgers. It is 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.920 gonna that's a cool from what we've heard about the segment. 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:41.880 It's off the three point from this week, it's really 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.200 really good.

Is there one secure enough? 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.640 And I'm off to not look in the contact Actually 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.880 social media Amy who said, like, you guys looked at 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.839 your reviews lately, they're really good. I was like, I haven't. 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:08.600 I looked at him like, yeah, people like our show. 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.120 Look at us? Who look at us? Look at us? 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.840 Look at us? That's so nice. Well, we are going 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.720 to do a things that come in tens segment because 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.120 it's week ten, So why not, I know, super creative. 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.360 It's just kind of how we work around here. So 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.120 the first thing that came to my mind was the 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.320 Tin Commandments, because is that what usually comes to your mind. 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:38.360 I'm just such a holy person and filled with divinity. 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:43.360 That yes, filled with divinity. That's quite a phrase. David 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:48.600 Laydon just put on his headphones. I'm tapping out. I'm 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.880 out of this about to happen. It's about to record 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.640 this specifically for the next big meeting to show everybody 0:07:55.200 --> 0:08:00.160 this is actually we're going to take another sidetrack to 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.240 do that. Here a groupies, you will enjoy this. I 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.720 think there was a big meeting with all of the 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:10.720 directors and vps of the Carolina Panthers. So are superbosses, 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.960 and the clip that was shared from the group chat 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.360 was Southern Mama. That's what was chosen to be shout 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.880 in front of everybody, Not all this good football talk 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:31.720 we're talking, No, it was me. It was you. You're welcome. Yeah, yeah, producer, 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:33.880 where have you been these last couple of weeks? Old, 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.240 I've got to say, And then you show up in 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.440 Southern Mama. And from the directors and vast president, I 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.640 thought it was a great opportunity for you to introduce 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.600 yourself to tepper better. Yes, the owner was also in 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:49.800 that meeting, so I have I'm embarrassed. So we'll we'll 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.880 see if you guys continue to hear us over the 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.760 next several weeks, and you if you if we just disappear, 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:01.719 or if ever here, if I never come back, or 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.280 if Southern Mama just never makes another appearance, you know 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.839 why there was a immediate hand down from ownership, do not? 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.800 Or if Southern Mama gets her own show, you know 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:17.560 it really well, then I won't be as mad at 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.600 producer Matt. But that doesn't happen. Okay, we'll get back 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.000 to football now. Though things that come into in can 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:29.680 can can to moments. What wow, I'm flustered. The Ten 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:35.400 Commandments decades. It's also how long Chinese food takes to 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:40.880 get ready. Yeah, minute fingers. A lot of things ten 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.760 minutes take ten minutes. So you feel like a lot 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:47.400 of times people say give me ten minutes? How long 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.439 is your be there in ten? Carol? When you when 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:56.640 you when you text that it's ten, it's actually it's 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.760 actually probably seven. I give myself a little bit because 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:03.920 I like to arrive earlier on time. Mine mine's like seventeen. 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.920 Oh really, yeah, I don't know. I used to be 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.600 pretty punctual, and I used to it it's gotten worse. 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.840 I can't stand the feeling of running late. It just 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.719 makes me anxious. The worst someone told me when it 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:18.760 was actually in a book, said, you you get to 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:23.280 choose your problems. So everyone's going to have problems, whatever 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.640 it is. But as human beings, we like to choose 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.520 our problems. And on that day I decided, and my 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.319 problem will never be that I'm late, never and and 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.400 whatever I have to do to make sure that I 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.640 am that's not my problem. So my ten minutes is 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.439 seven minutes. Like the idea of walking into a meeting 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.839 that's already started and having everybody like look up at 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.480 you as you walk in it is like a huge 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.600 So so one time I actually didn't know we were 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.319 having a meeting. Walk came about three minutes into when 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.400 the meeting started. I just didn't go in. Yeah you 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.959 were that afraid. I just didn't need it was you guys. 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.120 I mean it wasn't that scary, but I just I 0:10:58.160 --> 0:10:59.760 didn't even go in. I just went at the office. 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:01.440 Just want you don't want to face the music. I 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.600 hear you does your ten minutes change depending on the person, 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.679 because my ten minutes to like my family members is 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.560 much longer than ten minutes to my fiance. Like, I 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.520 don't lie. She she'll get me. She knows she's a 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.880 good point. Yeah, Or like my boss David Lincoln, I'm 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:21.800 not going to tell him it's actually he has been 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:25.200 slowly creeping in on these. He provided candy on Halloween. 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:29.199 Now he's tuning us out. He shared Southern Mama, that's 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:30.720 a great that's a good point. You name at Like 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.800 back in the day in high school, if I was 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.440 like watching a game and my mom needed me to 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.240 do something, I'd be like, yeah, just give me ten minutes, 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:42.160 and like that was not minutes later. That's a good point. 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:46.000 Ten minutes of game time. It was like an hour 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:56.040 tenues with college basketball starting the last minute minutes of 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.800 college basketball, Yeah, it's it's that can be insufferable, is 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:02.280 to minutes. Honestly, the last minute of a college basketball 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:07.120 ten minutes. Um, there are ten lords of leaping. Any 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.640 Christmas fans out there, I think you are the biggest 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.920 Christmas fan I know. I can't wait. I'm actually scaling 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:18.920 it back in the office. In the office, Um, I've 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.520 never shared such a big office space with as many people, 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.240 so I'm trying to respect other people's Christmas boundaries. However, 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.400 normally in my office is up to this point, there's 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:32.079 a tree, but I always decorate the tree to be funny. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:36.880 Last year my tree was the Christmas for I. I are, 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.079 you know, in football injured reserve. So the ornaments were 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.200 all the big players that were on So I cut 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.439 out their heads and there the ornaments, and I always 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.040 try and make it, you know, so that way people 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.960 are like, oh, I don't really like your enthusiasm for Christmas. 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:54.760 Is my Christmas tree is up palpable another good word, right, 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:58.160 we're talking about good words, Earl. It's a good one, okay. 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.839 Ten commandments for the Panthers set have the season, right. 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:07.000 I have one more tips funny hot dogs coming a 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.480 pack of tip, but the buns coming a pack of eight. 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.800 I didn't have to look that one up because my 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.640 household very annoyed about that growing up. It is very annoying. 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.679 I'm pretty sure that was a Seinfeld bit, was it. 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.959 I can definitely see that. Yeah, No, we didn't like that, okay, 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:24.520 But what we are really doing, I think we're like 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.040 twenty minutes into this thing. Here's what we're actually doing 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.360 on this podcast. We are doing the tin Commandments of 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.600 Panthers Football in order for them to make the playoffs. 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.640 So this is week ten. We said, this is when 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.440 every game matters. And what the Panthers have done is 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:42.440 they put themselves in a very fine line here. They're 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.079 they're they're getting to the point in the season where 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.240 you can't drop games. Right now, if you're even going 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.360 to think about the way that the NFC is unfolding, 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.000 it's still very up in the air. I don't think 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.640 you know outside of the forty niners. They're like in 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.040 their own league right now. There's still a lot of 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.640 questions in the NFC of who's going to make the playoffs. 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:04.800 So we're doing the ten Commandments of Panthers Football to 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:08.959 make the playoffs. Will lead us off with your first commandment. 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:14.400 My first commandment, thou shalt not be chasing nor rebuked 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:21.080 by yellow kerchiefs. That's a better than I expected. Hey, 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.280 the Panthers are second in the league with fewest penalties 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:29.840 only forty six, second league and fewest penalty yards. We 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.680 saw what it did to Tennessee eleven penalties. It's a 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.640 drive killer. This This team has to stay on schedule 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.120 based on the way this offense moves the ball down 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:42.920 the field. This defense can't afford to have, you know, 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.400 things after the play. They can't afford to have needless 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.960 face masks. You know that have you know, uh undercut 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.680 turnovers in the past, Like they can't commit penalties and 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.880 they've been pretty good at it. Will you say it again? 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.840 Thou shalt not be chasing nor rebuked by yellow kerchiefs. 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:02.680 I don't know how we talked that with Max you 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:06.160 got next. I don't either your your ability with like 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.880 you're really bringing it strong lately with this whole like 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.680 new voice and like the flowery language. I really like 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.240 this will on the podcast. It's because you come up 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:19.280 with such good things the character. I have to I 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.680 have to check you away. He went to an IVY league, 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:24.840 you know, Yeah, you're showing off how smart you are 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:26.840 to write. I gotta check you somehow because not an 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:35.840 actual IVY league. It's the Southern Night. Okay, my first 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.240 one will be and this is maybe intended for not 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.960 the Panthers, but those who watched the Panthers. Thou shalt 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:46.400 not doubt d J. Moore and Curtis Samuel um And look, 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.800 maybe Steve Smith knew all along what he was doing. 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.160 Maybe Steve Smith was like, you know what, these guys 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.360 got to play better. I'm gonna kind of light the 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:55.560 fire a little bit and get him to play a 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.080 little bit better. It was Steve who came out and 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.320 said on draft night that they hadn't replaced him until 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.520 d J. Moore are that he was leading a little 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.800 disappointed with the level of production from DJ so far. 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.000 So Steve goes on the radio and says some things 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.360 that got people riled up, and then what do you know, 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.640 DJ More and Curtis Samuel collectively have their best day 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.800 against the Titans. Those two have it, They've always had it. 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:16.920 I think it's just kind of taken, as North said, 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:18.720 a little bit of time. Some other factors have come 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.080 into play as to whether or not they're producing on 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.280 a given Sunday. But if those two continue to play 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.680 like that and making plays with yards after the catch, 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.080 Curtis going up and high pointing the ball in the 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.280 end zone, that is a formula for success. I love 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.960 it mine, thou shall steal. I want the thieves to 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:41.960 be thieves. This team is winning the turnover ratio plus six, 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.800 and that's with the fumbles and you know, some some 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.760 misques that have happened, they're still plus six. So they 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.360 have twelve interceptions, and I think my favorite part about 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:55.560 these interceptions is they're averaging over eleven yards per interception, 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.840 so they're they're taking out a first down. The offense 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:05.600 needs to go. I love that, so Shall Stealeves average 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.160 field position on that one thirty two point nine ranks 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:11.639 third in the NFL. Ringing it all right, here we 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:17.440 go next one, thou shalt make third downs? I love 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:22.040 you had the t to it. Shut shalt pretty explained, 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:26.160 only only third down conversion twenty seven in the league. 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.080 Right now, they've got to get better. Every year they've 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.320 gone to the playoffs, they've been a top ten team 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:31.800 on third down. They've got to be able to make 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:33.800 clutch plays. We've had a lot of third and long 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.159 and they converted a couple of big ones against Tennessee. 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.200 Another percentage on the season may not be great. Right 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.800 in the first half, that screen to DJ for eighteen 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.520 yards on a third and long, and late in the 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:46.680 game when it was a two score game, third and twelve, 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.000 he found DJ again for fourteen. I thought that was 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.159 one of Kyle's bigger throws the day. So there was 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.320 some good signs on Sunday. The fourth down conversion for 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.119 the touchdown to Christian also, but yeah, a third moments. 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.359 Definitely good signs on Sunday. But the week's leading up 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.600 to it. We're tough. The can can keep drives going. Yeah, okay, 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:06.800 I'm up next. Thou shalt address the run defense in 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.879 the second half of the season. So, yeah, the takeaways 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:15.240 are great. I think they have kind of mitigated the 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.720 issue with the run defense and the sacks that when 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:21.720 this team is getting sacks and takeaways like they're they're 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.280 gonna be tough to beat. But if they're not getting 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.199 those things and both those things tend to come and 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.000 bunches a little bit, I'm a little word of like 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.000 if they go into any sort of drought with that, 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.600 the run defense could become an issue. This team is 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.160 last in the NFL and yards allowed per attempt five 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.280 point one, their last in the NFL and rushing touchdowns 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:42.280 allowed with four teen second half the season. The weather 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:43.840 is gonna get worse. Teams are gonna rely on the 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:45.560 run game a lot more. You're gonna have to see 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:47.920 it and face it a lot. The Panthers, I don't 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:49.159 I don't care. There's no other way to put it. 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.080 They have to get better at stopping the run. And 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.919 when Ron talks like he did on Monday about this 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.119 team not having arrived yet, they're still learning and growing. 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:57.959 There's still some areas that we have to fix. I 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.920 know he's talking about their run defense. For NFL linebacker 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:03.960 who made his bones in the NFL's the defensive coordinator 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:06.760 will not stand for this to continue. He just won't. 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:08.959 And he knows that they have to get that fixed 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.240 if they are going to be a playoff team. Bottom line, 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:12.720 the weather is gonna get worse. I know what you're 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.920 talking about. Green Bay looks like a beautiful Bomby nine 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:24.480 degrees whatever, ha um mine, honor thy backup quarterback. I 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:25.920 don't think this. And this is almost like one of 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.639 those like don't murder people commandment. You know, this is 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:31.080 like a like a duck because I think the team 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.200 does this. They're they're very much. You know, Kyle Allen 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:35.800 is the guy, and whoever is back there is going 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.560 to be there guy. But this is something that has 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.080 to stay true. I think what's been interesting is it's 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:44.800 it's no longer a surprise to people when Ron comes 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:46.720 out and says Kyle Allen is starting. I think those 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:48.800 first couple of weeks, you know, it was what's happening 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.199 with Cam and so it was. I mean, one of 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:56.040 my most famous, famous, viral, popular whatever we want to 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.560 say tweet was about Kyle Allen starting. That was a 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:00.800 few weeks ago. I you know, we send the same 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:06.040 tweet out yesterday on Monday's press conference. It's expected, and 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:08.479 I think this offense has taken on the personality of 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.240 Kyle Allen's style of play. It's not going to be 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:14.000 you know, the Cam Newton. Is he going to take 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.439 off running? Is he this big? You know, there's just 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:18.800 a different personality that this offense. I think that the 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:22.480 locker room has you gotta honor your backup quarterback. I 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.520 don't think I think Kyle he's obviously still a young quarterback, 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:28.680 but I just don't think that this team, and I 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:30.600 think people around the league are looking at him as 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:33.680 that backup quarterback anymore, not knowing what's happening with Cam 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:36.520 Newton and and all the you know, him going and 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:38.800 seeing a specialist and what's going to happen? I think 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:46.760 you honor that backup quarterback Kyle Love, thou shalt beat 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:57.760 New Orleans like baseball. They're one in four against the 0:20:57.800 --> 0:20:59.760 Saints the last two years and the only one that 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:02.720 they one didn't really even matter. Saints are good. Saints 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:05.200 are good, and let's let's be honest, like everyone's looking 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:07.040 at you know, how do they sneak into the wild card, 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:11.560 win the division? Beat New Orleans? Yeah? People are sort 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:13.760 of I think just like penciling in losses to New 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:15.600 Orleans and it's okay, how are we going to get in? 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:17.560 How do we get into otherwise? How do we get 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:22.159 Minnesota to lose? How do we get Seattle to somehow stumble? Like? No, 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:25.840 just beat New Orleans? Yeah, I mean tying it. Just 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:28.720 bait New Orleans Easier said than done. Right. I mean, 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:30.920
