Speaker 1: This week on a Happy half Hour, they.
Speaker 2: Were hyping them up like, oh, brace yeah man, we're back,
Speaker 2: We're back, and it was just a completely different vibe
Speaker 2: and all like, this is how excited these guys are
Speaker 2: to get back together. And this is always the fun
Speaker 2: time of year. You know, it's long days, it's long nights.
Speaker 2: It can be draining, but it's also so much fun.
Speaker 3: It's like being around the energy touts.
Speaker 1: Do cow whoa. 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 Gant and Cassidy Hill.
Speaker 4: Hello, friends, We're back.
Speaker 3: That's right, it's the Happy Half Hour, presented by a
Speaker 3: Southern Star and official bourbon of the Carolina Panthers. Celebrate
Speaker 3: the spirit of the Carolinas and celebrate indeed, because football's back.
Speaker 4: Baby.
Speaker 2: The song I was singing a minute ago, yeah see
Speaker 2: back again? Is that a copyright infringement?
Speaker 3: It's either a copyright infringement or not the best version
Speaker 3: of it I've ever heard. Personal, But yeah, it's reasonable
Speaker 3: to be excited because after a long summer away, we've
Speaker 3: missed you folks. It feels like it's been forever since
Speaker 3: we were with you, but it was only but it
Speaker 3: was only June in a lifetime, Yeah.
Speaker 4: It does feel like forever ago.
Speaker 3: Many things have changed, but in fact, training camp is
Speaker 3: in Charlotte. Normally we would be doing this podcast from
Speaker 3: somewhere in Spartanburg after driving by the beach in Gaffney.
Speaker 4: But we're here.
Speaker 3: We're at home and we get to sleep in our
Speaker 3: own beds and do our own stuff at the end
Speaker 3: of the day, and that's worth something. So it's uh,
Speaker 3: we are thankful. There is a lot of new to
Speaker 3: get used to here with the Carolina Panthers. And as
Speaker 3: you watch guys report to training camp today, it kind
Speaker 3: of dawns on you how different this thing is because
Speaker 3: for so long we're used to seeing a lot of
Speaker 3: the same faces and then you walk in today and oh, hi,
Speaker 3: Jadavian Clowney, right, you're here, welcome back to Charlotte, And
Speaker 3: it was kind of interesting and listening to jed Avian today,
Speaker 3: he flat out said, you know, I've been on good teams,
Speaker 3: I've been in places where they win.
Speaker 4: This is the way to win.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is what I kind of expect here, And
Speaker 3: just hearing him talk both about his expectations for this
Speaker 3: thing and just being at home and how excited he
Speaker 3: is about being at home. That kind of brought back
Speaker 3: one of the themes of the off season for me,
Speaker 3: because for all the other things, I mean, you change coaches,
Speaker 3: you change gms, the personnel turnover with significant and no
Speaker 3: more so on defense, where you know there is no
Speaker 3: more Brian Burns, Frankie Louvu, all these familiar faces like
Speaker 3: Dante Jackson that we got so used to, and they
Speaker 3: brought in Clowney and a bunch of dudes who knew
Speaker 3: as Gero everro back when and completely remade that side
Speaker 3: of the ball. And just standing there looking at him
Speaker 3: today kind of brought that home to me.
Speaker 5: I've been on six teams and I've never been on loser.
Speaker 5: Really on all six of them. We have winning schedules,
Speaker 5: probably one and I never went no win, just lost
Speaker 5: an don't plan on come here and just losing. So
Speaker 5: I've told them guys of my six team, and I
Speaker 5: know what it looked like. I know what it takes
Speaker 5: to win. So it's coming together every day and practice
Speaker 5: and prepare. We all be here for a reason, We
Speaker 5: all professionals in pro and we all got what it
Speaker 5: takes to win here in this organization. So I think
Speaker 5: that's what it's gonna come down to, everybody buying in
Speaker 5: and hearing it from guys that has been from other
Speaker 5: teams and telling them, man, we got what it take
Speaker 5: and show up every day and come to work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a bunch of guys like you mentioned Jersey Jewel,
Speaker 2: Jordan Fuller.
Speaker 4: Is, Shawn Robinson, Hey.
Speaker 2: Shawn Robinson. So you know, guys that are going to
Speaker 2: be playing a lot, if not starting, and so we'll
Speaker 2: definitely make a difference. But yeah, it was fun to
Speaker 2: watch the guys come in today. I was walking through
Speaker 2: the hallways around nine forty five going up to a
Speaker 2: meeting of ours, and so because I saw when he
Speaker 2: came in this morning, and you know, he was he
Speaker 2: was Bryce, you know, probably Bryce before caffeine and you know,
Speaker 2: a little quiet like he normally is. And then when
Speaker 2: I saw him in the hallway about twenty minutes later,
Speaker 2: it was right as he ran into Amir Smith Marsette
Speaker 2: and a couple of his offensive linemen and they were
Speaker 2: hyping him up like.
Speaker 4: Oh Bryce, yeah, man, we're back, We're back.
Speaker 2: And it was just a completely different vibe and all like,
Speaker 2: this is how excited these guys are to get back together.
Speaker 2: And this is always the fun time of year. You know,
Speaker 2: it's long days, it's long nights. It can be draining,
Speaker 2: but it's also so much fun and just like being
Speaker 2: around the energy.
Speaker 3: Right, And that's where I always get kind of a
Speaker 3: kick about out of training camp, because you learn so
Speaker 3: much about both your co workers who you're around basically
Speaker 3: all day and all night every day for the next month,
Speaker 3: but also this team. I mean, you really get a
Speaker 3: sense of what these guys can be about. I mean,
Speaker 3: there were some signs last year that things maybe weren't
Speaker 3: going to go according to plan, and nobody knows how
Speaker 3: this year is going to go. But it is interesting
Speaker 3: listening to people talk and Matt's going to pull the
Speaker 3: cuts for us and plug it in here. I know,
Speaker 3: because Dan Morgan was pretty interesting talking about kind of
Speaker 3: the expectations. I mean, Dan sort of teed it up
Speaker 3: and said, you know, we're not gonna worry about expectations
Speaker 3: because the focus is on work.
Speaker 4: And the reason that kind of hit me again.
Speaker 3: It's one of those things that brings it back, just
Speaker 3: in talking to guys about Dave Canalis.
Speaker 4: I mean, what's Dave Canalis.
Speaker 3: He's young, he's good looking, he's energetic, he's you know,
Speaker 3: and everybody thinks he's just run around hair on fire.
Speaker 3: But you know, we posted a story earlier this week,
Speaker 3: one hundred years ago where guys said Canalis's focus has
Speaker 3: always been on the work, and when you hear Dan
Speaker 3: Morgan talk about it, it kind of drives that message
Speaker 3: home again.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm not going to put any expectations on
Speaker 6: anything right now. What I do know is that there's
Speaker 6: a lot of work ahead of us, not only from
Speaker 6: a personnel's down point, but the players. You know, the
Speaker 6: players know that they got to put the work in
Speaker 6: out there. We have a lot of new players that
Speaker 6: got to gail together out there and become a team.
Speaker 6: So in terms of playoffs, you know, we'll reach that,
Speaker 6: you know, when we're ready. But I think right now
Speaker 6: we're focused on today, tomorrow and just trying to get
Speaker 6: better as a team and as an organization.
Speaker 2: It's funny that you mentioned that, because you know, there
Speaker 2: was a thread that kind of went not viral but
Speaker 2: semi viral a few days ago with a former player
Speaker 2: from Seattle talking about that and how you know there
Speaker 2: was He said, there was one coach that would go
Speaker 2: out there and get out there first to the practice
Speaker 2: build and make sure every single tackling dummy was lined
Speaker 2: up perfectly in the right spot and had that sort
Speaker 2: of attention to detail coupled with infectious energy. And he
Speaker 2: was like, and that guy's now an NFL coach, and
Speaker 2: he's talking abou Dave Canalis as he went on to say,
Speaker 2: and so to your point, like, yeah, the hair's on fire,
Speaker 2: but this is also somebody who understands from what we
Speaker 2: have seen in his previous stops, this is somebody who
Speaker 2: understands the details and how important those can be. And
Speaker 2: those two things together, I think it's going to be
Speaker 2: fun to watch. And we've of course had OTAs. We've
Speaker 2: had voluntary mini camp, we've had mandatory mini camp, we've
Speaker 2: had rookie mini camp. Training camp, to me is where
Speaker 2: you really start to see it all come together, because
Speaker 2: it's a lot less about learning the playbook, it's a
Speaker 2: lot less about learning the installs. It's a lot more
Speaker 2: about Okay, now let's put this team together. Let's start
Speaker 2: taking all these puzzle pieces and creating an actual picture.
Speaker 4: Yep, no doubt.
Speaker 3: And really, I mean on the other side of the
Speaker 3: ball too. You know talk about all that, you know,
Speaker 3: renovation of the defense, I mean on the other side
Speaker 3: of the ball. That's the thing that everybody's focus was
Speaker 3: on early in the off season, because when you invest
Speaker 3: a number one overall pick in a quarterback, you know
Speaker 3: the expectations are going to be different than what you
Speaker 3: saw last year. But after Bryce Young takes sixty two sacks,
Speaker 3: tying a franchise records, body said.
Speaker 2: Today, we saw you take a hit or two and
Speaker 2: I was like, a.
Speaker 4: Hitter two or sixty two.
Speaker 3: And yeah, poor Steve Berlin thought he was going to
Speaker 3: be off the hook, but he's not. He's still tied
Speaker 3: for that franchise record. And you know, it obviously wasn't good.
Speaker 3: But to Dan's point, there was a plan. There was
Speaker 3: a concerted effort to do things a very specific way,
Speaker 3: and that included spend that much money on big old
Speaker 3: Robert Hunt and big old Damian Lewis and Austin Corbett
Speaker 3: moving inside, and that ought to on paper, create a
Speaker 3: much more stable interior than they had at any point
Speaker 3: last year. I think I should probably retire the number.
Speaker 3: I feel like I said it about a million times,
Speaker 3: but when you go through a season and play seven
Speaker 3: different left guards and eight different right guards, it wasn't
Speaker 3: gonna go well.
Speaker 4: And it didn't.
Speaker 3: So that was to Dan's point, kind of that plan
Speaker 3: was to stabilize the middle of the offensive line, give
Speaker 3: Bryce a chance to see the field a little bit longer,
Speaker 3: run the.
Speaker 4: Ball, and do those normal things.
Speaker 3: And I think that's probably gonna be my buzzword for
Speaker 3: the next couple of months, because until it's back the normal,
Speaker 3: you know, that's going to be the place you're trying
Speaker 3: to get to.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, Darre because someone brought
Speaker 2: this up to Bryce today in his press conference, and
Speaker 2: I was not here last training camp. So I'm just
Speaker 2: curious that.
Speaker 3: God, that is right, you weren't here last year at
Speaker 3: training camp. Where were you last year at training Why
Speaker 3: couldn't you have been here last year?
Speaker 2: I was here for two games, and so.
Speaker 3: She's lived, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: But they mentioned Bryce not even really having his full
Speaker 2: offensive line in the off season as well, and so
Speaker 2: did he ever have a healthy five man offensive line
Speaker 2: at any point his rookie season, off season or regular season?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was triggered during you know, last year,
Speaker 3: during the off season, the assumption was you knew Austin
Speaker 3: Corbett was going to be out for a little bit
Speaker 3: coming off that knee injury, but Brady Christiansen was back,
Speaker 3: and you felt like, based on what they had done
Speaker 3: year before and the way they'd run the ball, okay, well,
Speaker 3: you can kind of survive with four out of you
Speaker 3: five pieces. But then Brady goes out and immediately gets
Speaker 3: hurt in the opener and you don't ever see him again,
Speaker 3: and that just started that snowball rolling downhill and it
Speaker 3: never turned around. So it you know, because Austin wasn't
Speaker 3: out there, they were cycling through different guys at right
Speaker 3: guard throughout camp last year and it never stabilized at all.
Speaker 3: But you know, what they're hoping is that by putting
Speaker 3: all that money and poundage and then you know, really
Speaker 3: making an emphasis of that position, that they're giving him
Speaker 3: a better chance.
Speaker 4: And you could just tell.
Speaker 3: I mean, Bryce talked today about going through his process
Speaker 3: getting himself ready and really trying to it's almost a
Speaker 3: start over for him.
Speaker 7: For me, there's always like an urgency. There's always a
Speaker 7: sense of wanting to be the best that I can
Speaker 7: be the best that we can be every day, and
Speaker 7: that's definitely something that I don't want to lose and
Speaker 7: I want to make sure we're at and I don't
Speaker 7: feel like for me, I guess there's I don't look
Speaker 7: at it as as pressure from outside things. I think
Speaker 7: really for us, it's making sure we can be the
Speaker 7: best we can be every day and then accomplish our
Speaker 7: goal shout the year. And that's a big picture thing
Speaker 7: and it's not something that's really gonna change. We can't
Speaker 7: get that done tomorrow. We're not gonna get it done
Speaker 7: next week. It's going to be throughout the year. So
Speaker 7: because of that, I try to keep my focus on
Speaker 7: just the small stuff what I can do right now.
Speaker 7: We have a meeting in however many minutes, trying to
Speaker 7: make sure we're locked in for that. I'm locked in
Speaker 7: for that, So I think kind of just that's kind
Speaker 7: of the mindset. And because of that, you don't really
Speaker 7: feel I don't really feel the over like this, the
Speaker 7: overhanging pressure, whatever it is that it may come from
Speaker 7: the outside. So I guess that it's kind of my
Speaker 7: approach towards it.
Speaker 2: It's a start over with an understanding of what the
Speaker 2: NFL is now, yep, And so that can be I
Speaker 2: think what makes a big difference is he's not wide
Speaker 2: eyed anymore. He has a better understanding of how a
Speaker 2: calendar works, what the schedule looks like. He knows his
Speaker 2: way well, actually, I was gonna say he knows his
Speaker 2: way from the meeting room to the training camp field.
Speaker 2: But it is a different training camp field this year.
Speaker 2: But it's still the same practice field. You know, it's
Speaker 2: he's going. He's got a new coaching staff, but he has,
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of the same guys still around
Speaker 2: him with but now he gets a fresh start with
Speaker 2: that familiarity.
Speaker 3: Sure, and listen what it looks like last year's scar
Speaker 3: tissue at this point. I mean, everything's kind of pointing
Speaker 3: forward for him. And in addition to all those offensive linemen,
Speaker 3: you walk in today and you see, oh there's Deontae Johnson.
Speaker 3: That's different. Oh there's Xavier Legat. There's a first round
Speaker 3: pick at wide receivers. So again, they were very systematic,
Speaker 3: very methodical of that, the way they put pieces around
Speaker 3: Bryce to kind of enhance the chances.
Speaker 2: And Dan Morgan told us today that that was really
Speaker 2: their intention and that they wanted to make sure that
Speaker 2: they gave him the best pieces around him. But then
Speaker 2: he also made sure to say that as far as Bryce,
Speaker 2: but the team as a whole, that the expectation was
Speaker 2: going to be there were no expectations. I mean, you've
Speaker 2: been around this game a long time.
Speaker 3: Is that a.
Speaker 2: Safe philosophy is that?
Speaker 3: I just think, you know, the only way you can
Speaker 3: do this job well and in a stable and long
Speaker 3: term fashion is by keeping your eyes right in front
Speaker 3: of your feet and the next step, you know, the
Speaker 3: old coaching cliche, be where your feet are, do that
Speaker 3: thing you're working on. And again it's Dan, it's Canalys,
Speaker 3: it's all of them. They are very workmanlike in their
Speaker 3: approach to this thing. I mean, everything is about getting
Speaker 3: the football right. We've heard Dave Canalis say that a
Speaker 3: hundred times already and we're not even on the practice
Speaker 3: field for the first time, but that's going to be
Speaker 3: the thing. And I think Dan, Bryce and Dave all
Speaker 3: sort of have that same mentality. They work the same
Speaker 3: way in that regard. They're not going to be big react.
Speaker 3: There's two things. They're very planned out, very prepared, and
Speaker 3: you know, we'll see where it takes them. I mean,
Speaker 3: the first step is improvement, and after two and fifteen
Speaker 3: that shouldn't be terribly hard. But how many numbers does
Speaker 3: that mean? What does that mean?
Speaker 4: Four wins?
Speaker 3: Six wins a when nobody knows, you know, and they're
Speaker 3: not focused on that right now, And I don't think
Speaker 3: it helps to think about how many games you're gonna
Speaker 3: win or whether you're gonna go to the playoffs. What
Speaker 3: they need to be focused tomorrow when they walk out
Speaker 3: on the practice field is are we going to do
Speaker 3: Wednesday right?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: And then after you do Wednesday right, you work on
Speaker 3: Thursday and you just keep stacking those days. And that's
Speaker 3: really the only way to fix this thing.
Speaker 2: Dan Morgan might not have expectations, but and I'm not
Speaker 2: saying that we will, but I do have a question.
Speaker 2: I feel like you can usually kind of tell at
Speaker 2: some point during the off season, in the case of
Speaker 2: the NFL, during training camp, what a team is gonna be,
Speaker 2: or at least for me, you get a vibe and
Speaker 2: you might not know how how many games they're gonna win,
Speaker 2: but you kind of can figure out what side of
Speaker 2: five hundred they're going to be on at what point
Speaker 2: for you do you feel like you have a good
Speaker 2: feel for a team. You're gonna say six games into
Speaker 2: the season, aren't you.
Speaker 3: Well an amount of games into the season at least,
Speaker 3: because I just think, you know, they need to because
Speaker 3: of the way last year went, they need to get
Speaker 3: into preseason score some points, right Seeing a touchdown would
Speaker 3: be kind of cool after they get shut out the
Speaker 3: last two games of the year.
Speaker 4: Not that I meant to remind you of that.
Speaker 3: Speaking of carrying scars, I think everybody listening to this
Speaker 3: podcast is too so score some points.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: And I think when you base an offense the way
Speaker 3: they I think they're probably going to they want to run.
Speaker 3: They want to be intentional about running, and I think
Speaker 3: when you do that, you give yourself opportunities. Again, it's
Speaker 3: not going to be flashy and dramatic, but I don't
Speaker 3: think you need flashy and dramatic. You need to be
Speaker 3: stable for a second and then you can build.
Speaker 2: One of the more interesting things that I thought came
Speaker 2: out of the Press Conforce today is previewing training camp,
Speaker 2: was Davian Clowney saying, you know, he's been on teams
Speaker 2: that have had success. He's been on teams that have
Speaker 2: gone to the playoffs. The Baltimore Ravens last year one
Speaker 2: of the best teams in football, and he was saying
Speaker 2: that a large part of that is simply the attitude
Speaker 2: that the team comes in with, and you know, followed
Speaker 2: up with that, I was like, that's such a easy
Speaker 2: thing to kind of say, have a good attitude, But
Speaker 2: can that really make a difference between a winning team
Speaker 2: and a losing team? And he said absolutely, And he
Speaker 2: used Baltimore as an example, and he was like, you know,
Speaker 2: on the defensive side, we were led by Roquan Smith.
Speaker 2: We came in every day with a good attitude about
Speaker 2: being there. And you know who is a poster child
Speaker 2: for that, Darren Is Dave Canallis. And so I thought
Speaker 2: that was really interesting. And this is an eleven year vet.
Speaker 2: We've been around Clowney enough the past couple of months
Speaker 2: now to know he's not gonna He's not gonna. I'm
Speaker 2: trying to figure out what's a word I can use
Speaker 2: that won't get us caught by the FCC. He's not
Speaker 2: gonna tease you. He's he's gonna tell you what he's
Speaker 2: thinking of what he really believes. And so him saying
Speaker 2: that I thought stood out because that's something you can control.
Speaker 3: Listen, if there's a Happy half Hour Bingo card out
Speaker 3: there amongst our listeners, no one has Cassidy being the
Speaker 3: first FCC final. Okay, absolutely nobody. That's Darren saying bad.
Speaker 3: Word is like the free space in the middle that
Speaker 3: everybody just kind of assumes, all right, so don't don't
Speaker 3: go stepping on my turf.
Speaker 4: So anyway, but it was cool, Yeah, I mean, it's cool. Though.
Speaker 3: It was interesting to hear from Dan from Bryce from
Speaker 3: Jadavian today and again, we're gonna walk out there on
Speaker 3: that practice field tomorrow and it's gonna be different. We've
Speaker 3: been on that property, we've seen the things he wrote
Speaker 3: about the new cooling trailer. Players are gonna get the
Speaker 3: duck in out of the heat into a twenty degree room.
Speaker 2: Twenty degrees and let me tell you, twenty degrees is cold.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a little bit less than what it
Speaker 3: is in this studio right now. We can see our
Speaker 3: breath as we're taping the Happy half Hour. But no,
Speaker 3: I mean they it's a pretty significant investment in and
Speaker 3: the health and wellness and athletic training staff talk to
Speaker 3: us about it. Today, and it's basically a two hundred
Speaker 3: thousand dollars investment in having guys ready because when it's hot,
Speaker 3: you want guys to be able to duck in, cool
Speaker 3: themselves off, come back out and continue to practice. It's
Speaker 3: not a big dramatic jumping into ice kind of thing.
Speaker 3: If you're starting to feel a little hot, and it's
Speaker 3: all about getting more work done, that's the thing and
Speaker 3: I and I think that's going to be a theme
Speaker 3: throughout this entire training camp for everybody.
Speaker 2: So that was the interesting part to me because I'd
Speaker 2: never really thought about it until Kevin King had athletic
Speaker 2: trainer and Andrew Altov sports science ault. I think now
Speaker 2: though his title is Director of Human Performance, it's a
Speaker 2: great time, right. It is just all humans are under
Speaker 2: Andrew alltop.
Speaker 4: They made the.
Speaker 2: That you know, this allows them to let players get
Speaker 2: back to practice that in the past, if they were
Speaker 2: overheated and you had to either take them completely off
Speaker 2: the practice field or usually if you put them in
Speaker 2: an ice bath. By then they're so good wet by
Speaker 2: the time they get dried off and dressed again, it's practice.
Speaker 2: This allows them to go back out because they can
Speaker 2: go into that trailer for two minutes at a time,
Speaker 2: cool down enough to get back out to work.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: It did make me wonder though, so they said the
Speaker 2: recommended time is two minutes. We got to go in
Speaker 2: and kind of experience it. I think we were in
Speaker 2: there for probably a little over two minutes. It was
Speaker 2: it was getting pretty cold. I was over there right
Speaker 2: in front of the vents. But I thought, especially once
Speaker 2: I put like sleeves back on, I probably could have
Speaker 2: stayed in there another minute. What's the longest you could think?
Speaker 2: You think you could stay in twenty degrees before you
Speaker 2: start like really leading to cover up.
Speaker 3: I lived in Boone for four years and change, so
Speaker 3: I'm used to a little cold weather in my life
Speaker 3: and I hate I don't want anything to do with it.
Speaker 3: I want to be warm, I want to be comfortable,
Speaker 3: and a little bit of cool is nice. Too cold
Speaker 3: for too long makes Darren unhappy and nobody wants that.
Speaker 3: That's when he starts saying swear words on the Happy
Speaker 3: half Hour.
Speaker 2: Hey, you're talking to somebody who lived in Green Bay
Speaker 2: for two years. The coldest game that I ever worked
Speaker 2: at kickoff was three degrees.
Speaker 3: Yep, And so I was in some three degree weather
Speaker 3: at the NFC Championship Game where your Carolina Panthers faced
Speaker 3: your former Green Bay Packers many many moons ago, probably
Speaker 3: before you were born. I'm almost certain of that. That
Speaker 3: was nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2: That was not before I was born.
Speaker 3: Close enough, close enough. But anyway, So again, a lot
Speaker 3: of new stuff going on. I can't wait to talk
Speaker 3: to you guys again because by the time we visit again,
Speaker 3: people have been able to experience what this new setup is.
Speaker 3: We are not in Spartanburg, my friends. We are in
Speaker 3: a large American city. You're gonna come to training camp,
Speaker 3: You're gonna see a little practice. There's some cooling areas
Speaker 3: from our friends at Marris Jenkins over there for fans afterward.
Speaker 3: But the stands are covered. You're in the shade. I mean,
Speaker 3: we're doing everything we can to make people comfortable here.
Speaker 3: It's really impressive what's happened in a short amount of time.
Speaker 3: The facility staff here at Bank of America Stadium been
Speaker 3: working overtime and been doing a great job. It looks
Speaker 3: really cool, and I can't wait to hear from people
Speaker 3: after they get a chance to see what this all
Speaker 3: looks like.
Speaker 4: And I can't wait to actually see what it looks like.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: I mean, we're gonna get out there tomorrow and there's
Speaker 3: gonna be ninety dudes or so practicing football right in
Speaker 3: the skyline of a major city, and I'm looking forward
Speaker 3: to seeing what it looks like.
Speaker 2: It is definitely gonna be fun. Like I said, this
Speaker 2: is when you see what a team is, what a
Speaker 2: team is made of, what you might get out of
Speaker 2: a team. And if you see our team, Darren and
Speaker 2: I come say hey. Darren requires a Bojangles sweet tea
Speaker 2: and berry biscuit for you to say hello to see.
