Speaker 1: Hi, this is Dewey Jenkins. When the team that manages
Speaker 1: our Morris Jenkins website told me the most often asked
Speaker 1: question is who is Mr Jenkins married too? You could
Speaker 1: have knocked me over with a feather. I went home
Speaker 1: and told my wife that I was so surprised that
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to say. She laughed and said, honey,
Speaker 1: my name is Renee. So now you know the team
Speaker 1: at Morris Jenkins and I are here for the Panthers,
Speaker 1: and we're here for you too, whenever you need us.
Speaker 1: It's time for a Happy half Hour with your friends
Speaker 1: Kristin Balboni, Miles Simmons and Will Bryan. That's right, it's
Speaker 1: that time of the week. It's the Happy Half Hour
Speaker 1: podcast presented by Morris Jenkins. And Mr Jenkins told me
Speaker 1: that he loves football and he looks forward to this
Speaker 1: show all week. When you're plumbing her air conditioning is
Speaker 1: acting up, called Morris Jenkins or visit Morris Jenkins dot com.
Speaker 1: Here with my good buddies Will and Matt. Guys, how's
Speaker 1: it going. I'm a little cold, actually, well chilly outside
Speaker 1: to Yeah, it's a bit cold. Somebody in my house
Speaker 1: left the cold air on. So it's like sixty two
Speaker 1: and I woke up, So that just makes it and
Speaker 1: you feel like it's woke up in a blizzard. Oh,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you joining us this week. Um, so we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Sunday's game, but first, will you said,
Speaker 1: we gotta update everybody on on Teddy Bridgewater because it's
Speaker 1: it's good news. He went down a relatively good news.
Speaker 1: I would say, uh, he went down at the end
Speaker 1: of Sunday's game. But what we know at this point, um,
Speaker 1: Matt Rule has said it is not a serious injury.
Speaker 1: That is how he is classifying. It's to that right knee.
Speaker 1: But that's especially good news considering Teddy's past right and
Speaker 1: it's you know, again, the previous injury was his other
Speaker 1: his other knee on the other leg. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: reports out there from Palsero after that, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: a mild kind of sprain I think, I think, is
Speaker 1: what they're saying on NFL Network. Obviously, we're recording this
Speaker 1: Wednesday morning, so by the time you hear this, the
Speaker 1: practice report, the injury report will probably be out. Um,
Speaker 1: so we'll find out more, you know from Wednesday's practice
Speaker 1: kind of you know, what his status will be coach
Speaker 1: Will We'll update that again, um, and then we'll could
Speaker 1: just kind of see, you know, today, tomorrow, Friday, you
Speaker 1: know how much he's able to go and practice, Um,
Speaker 1: you know how much how many reps PGA Walker Will
Speaker 1: Greer get um and see what that looks like. Yeah, UM,
Speaker 1: and I think that UM. You know, it's it's good
Speaker 1: to know, even depending on what the practice reports says today,
Speaker 1: but the fact that meant Rule on Monday said he
Speaker 1: was hopeful that Teddy would be able to practice today,
Speaker 1: um and then hopefully play in the game on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Whether either of those things happen, um, it's still a
Speaker 1: nice sign that things are trending in the right direction
Speaker 1: of it not being a serious injury. As Yeah, you
Speaker 1: don't want, you know, him potentially to this to be
Speaker 1: the season ender, you know, all that kind of stuff
Speaker 1: there could have been. There's so many questions after Sunday's game. UM,
Speaker 1: so hopefully these are all trending in the positive direction. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Sunday's game. The Panthers lost to the
Speaker 1: Bucks at home, and it was it was a very
Speaker 1: tough second half. Will, Um, I mean it was it
Speaker 1: just there's no way around it. Especially the third quarter.
Speaker 1: It was seventeen seventeen going into the half and then um,
Speaker 1: you know, the Bucks just took over. And you know,
Speaker 1: I always look at numbers, is kind of the first
Speaker 1: thing I look at, and you know, they just it
Speaker 1: really hurt to kind of look at some of those
Speaker 1: second half numbers in terms of both defense and and
Speaker 1: total yards on offense. But I mean it really does
Speaker 1: defense and offense offense. And you know, I mean the
Speaker 1: kickoff return was great, so that was that was fun. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean just they that third quarter, there's
Speaker 1: just something in there's something going on there, and you know,
Speaker 1: they all talk about it. The media talks about it.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know one can really pinpoint what
Speaker 1: it is, um, but everyone knows it's got to get
Speaker 1: fixed because teams everyone, the opponents no too, you know,
Speaker 1: like don't think that this is just something we're talking
Speaker 1: about here in Charlotte. You know, I guarantee you the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions know they want the ball or they want
Speaker 1: to be on defense, you know, to get a three
Speaker 1: and out. You know, Carolina coming into the game was
Speaker 1: first in the NFL with the fewest three and ounce
Speaker 1: in the in the league, and then you have these
Speaker 1: three ounces in the fourth you have to turnover. You
Speaker 1: have unable to force a punt. You know, yet another
Speaker 1: game that's four games in a row where they've only
Speaker 1: forced two total punts. You know what offense can function
Speaker 1: when you just don't think you're going to get the
Speaker 1: ball back. Yeah, as you said, it's it's something that's
Speaker 1: got to get fixed, and certainly UM, coaches and players
Speaker 1: know that. UM and I thought we're gonna do a
Speaker 1: segment of overheard, Overheard. These are two quotes that really
Speaker 1: stuck out to me. Um after the game and then
Speaker 1: on Monday, and uh, it's it's about the way that
Speaker 1: Shack addressed the team after the tem had this very,
Speaker 1: very tough loss. So here's what Rusul Douglas had to
Speaker 1: say on Shack's message to the team after the game.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna curse every other word on the media,
Speaker 1: but he said some things and he basically tell everybody,
Speaker 1: look in the mirror, you know what I'm saying. Everybody,
Speaker 1: like the coach has been preaching all week details leverage,
Speaker 1: assignment and winning your one on ones, and none of
Speaker 1: us did any of that, Like the whole team. We all,
Speaker 1: we all did bad, and he basically cursed everybody out
Speaker 1: and said, we ain't fight hard enough, we didn't want
Speaker 1: it more. It's a lot of stuff, he said, but
Speaker 1: he basically just told everybody about themselves. And then Shack
Speaker 1: elaborated further about what he had to say when he
Speaker 1: was asked about it on Monday. Why didn't you be
Speaker 1: embarrassed what happened at home? I mean, well, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: damn good football team, but we gotta play as a team. Um,
Speaker 1: and I was just frustrated. I love my teammates, love
Speaker 1: my brothers, and I know we're gonna turn this thing around.
Speaker 1: Just happened. We didn't make our line stunt and I
Speaker 1: just hit it is what it is. But I know
Speaker 1: and leave that. We're gonna get that corrected. Then we're
Speaker 1: gonna fight on and play on next week. He was
Speaker 1: referring when he said the ninety just happened. That was
Speaker 1: the Ronald Jones touchdown. Um. I thought I thought we
Speaker 1: should start there because we can say everything we want.
Speaker 1: But I think it's it's really powerful hearing it from
Speaker 1: Shack and the players. There's an issue. There's an issue
Speaker 1: in that second half, there's an issue and they aren't.
Speaker 1: They aren't letting it go, which I think is good.
Speaker 1: You know they you know, after that Tampao gay game
Speaker 1: and week two is Rosal Douglas again like, hey, I
Speaker 1: don't like this. You know you can say, you can
Speaker 1: come up with all the reasons why, Hey we were
Speaker 1: you know, if we would have gotten that two point
Speaker 1: conversion after the kickoff Retorney would have been a seven
Speaker 1: point game. And then you know, you get a stop
Speaker 1: and you get the ball back and then you can score,
Speaker 1: like you can do all those things, you can do
Speaker 1: those mental exercises. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: they the score was what it was, the plays were
Speaker 1: what they were, and they didn't like it, and that's good.
Speaker 1: It's good to be angry and it's good too to
Speaker 1: have that sort of like this week, this is unacceptable,
Speaker 1: and I liked that. Not only did they not like it,
Speaker 1: Jack was preaching and were school took that message out
Speaker 1: to the media. You know, it's it's assignment, it's being
Speaker 1: where you're supposed to be, UM, and those were the
Speaker 1: things that they missed. So there was a reason, um
Speaker 1: that they've identified very quickly. It wasn't just like, oh
Speaker 1: we got out played. We um, they beat us on
Speaker 1: certain things like it was, it was this is the
Speaker 1: reason why this is happening because we're not um being
Speaker 1: where the coaches are telling us to be. Like I
Speaker 1: just like that a lot that there was shock said,
Speaker 1: this is what's going on. We need to get in line.
Speaker 1: We need to um listen to the coaches. We need
Speaker 1: to do what we're supposed to be doing. And and
Speaker 1: when you have guys like Douglas and Shack that not
Speaker 1: only listening to coaches listen to them, they looked at
Speaker 1: the tape to they know exactly who was out of position.
Speaker 1: You know, they can There's something about when your teammate,
Speaker 1: when you're holding your teammate accountable, versus maybe a coach
Speaker 1: that you kind of hear from all the time that says,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of the same things. When when it's
Speaker 1: the guy sitting next to you in the meeting room,
Speaker 1: who's next to you on the line, he's like, look
Speaker 1: at the tape, like I went here and then you
Speaker 1: went to the wrong place. You know. I think that
Speaker 1: there's something about that accountability that really and and also
Speaker 1: like knowing like Douglas right after he said that in
Speaker 1: his press conferences, they asked him about third down and
Speaker 1: he said, shoot, like we've been making excuses or we've
Speaker 1: been saying this, that and the other. Like, I know
Speaker 1: I messed up. I let the team down. I know
Speaker 1: there are a number of third downplays where I didn't
Speaker 1: make the play. And if they can't count on me, then,
Speaker 1: you know, like, I have to be held accountable to
Speaker 1: This isn't just like on the young guys or on
Speaker 1: some somebody else. No, this was me. I messed up too,
Speaker 1: So I gotta hold myself accountable. And you know, I
Speaker 1: think that leadership, you know, is going to be you know,
Speaker 1: that's something you can lean on and you know that
Speaker 1: that's a bright spot in all this. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: the Happy half Hour podcast presented by Morris Jenkins, and
Speaker 1: Mr Jenkins told me his plumbers and a c Tex
Speaker 1: secretly where Panthers jerseys under their uniforms. So when you're
Speaker 1: plumbing or air conditioning is acting up a Morris Jenkins
Speaker 1: or visit Morris Jenkins dot com. Do you think that
Speaker 1: this could potentially be some kind of a a turning
Speaker 1: point or a look in the mirror moment for the
Speaker 1: rest of the season. I certainly think it could be,
Speaker 1: and I think there's some historical context for this. So
Speaker 1: if you look back to the two thousand two seasons,
Speaker 1: Carolina started three no and this was the first year
Speaker 1: of John Fox, so new head coach. The year before,
Speaker 1: they had gone one and fifteen, you know, blew everything up.
Speaker 1: So they started three and oh and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: here we go, new head coach. You know, things are
Speaker 1: looking great. Then they went and eight, oh and eight.
Speaker 1: By the end of November they were three and eight.
Speaker 1: In the last game in November, they lost forty one
Speaker 1: to nothing to the Falcons, and then they finished the season.
Speaker 1: Um yeah. And then then they finished the season four
Speaker 1: and one to finish the year at seven and nine.
Speaker 1: And then the next year they go to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: And here's part of in. You know, fans around and
Speaker 1: be like, oh man, you know, if if you're three
Speaker 1: and eight, just lose out, you know, go three and thirteen,
Speaker 1: you know, try to get that second or third draft pick.
Speaker 1: Like what are you doing? Why finished seven and nine.
Speaker 1: It's really hard to go three and thirteen, and it's
Speaker 1: really bad to go three and thirteen in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways. And part of that, right, and but you know,
Speaker 1: fans are just like, oh, you know, at this point,
Speaker 1: who cares? And they don't really see that larger picture
Speaker 1: of what it takes to lose all those games, because like,
Speaker 1: for instance, Jake Dilone, you know, you've done so many
Speaker 1: things with him, you know, over the course of the
Speaker 1: spring and summer, and he tells this story about when
Speaker 1: he was a free agent at the end of that
Speaker 1: oh two season and he was looking between Carolina and Dallas.
Speaker 1: He could have gone to Dallas, and one of the
Speaker 1: things that was a deciding factor for him was the
Speaker 1: fact that the last game of that season, Carolina had
Speaker 1: nothing to play for, nothing at all. New Orleans did.
Speaker 1: New Orleans was still potentially getting in onto a playoff spot.
Speaker 1: You know, they could have had some things fall their way,
Speaker 1: and Carolina came into the Superdome and they kicked their butt,
Speaker 1: and Jake was on the sideline being like, who is
Speaker 1: this team that is out here fighting for everything, scrapping
Speaker 1: for every loose ball, you know, with so much energy
Speaker 1: that's just killing us. You know, like, who are what
Speaker 1: are they about? I'm interested in them because there's something
Speaker 1: about them that when there's nothing to play for and
Speaker 1: you're playing for everything that you want to be part
Speaker 1: of that group. And so that was a big part
Speaker 1: of why he came. And then all ofviously, you know,
Speaker 1: we know what happened to know three, you know, and
Speaker 1: so like that. I think those things speak to not
Speaker 1: only the group internally in the locker room, but as
Speaker 1: a part of, you know, a larger statement to the
Speaker 1: NFL two potential free agents, to everybody about this is
Speaker 1: the culture we have. And I think a lot of that,
Speaker 1: you know, continued on in in kind of the Panthers.
Speaker 1: You know, they've always been really good in December, much
Speaker 1: to like our fans chagrined about wanting to get these
Speaker 1: high draft picks. The Panthers always keep fighting, they keep pounding.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be real, you know, and and know
Speaker 1: four they finished four and one December to finish seven
Speaker 1: and nine. They went to the playoffs next year. In
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, you know, they were way under five.
Speaker 1: They finished three and two with Matt Moore's quarterback after
Speaker 1: everyone got hurt, you know, and then they went to
Speaker 1: the playoffs next year. Like there's something about, you know,
Speaker 1: a team that keeps fighting that that there. I do
Speaker 1: believe that carries into the off season in a way
Speaker 1: when you have the same people, when you know this
Speaker 1: group is coming back, you want them to keep fighting.
Speaker 1: You want them to have that taste going into the
Speaker 1: off season. Well and and so, uh my perch home
Speaker 1: games is the operational zone in the first row. And
Speaker 1: from where I was, I did not think there was
Speaker 1: a lack of effort. Um execution, yes, but effort those
Speaker 1: guys we were fighting until the end um and I
Speaker 1: like to see that. So I think that I think
Speaker 1: this game against the Lions on Sunday at home again,
Speaker 1: I think is going to be um is going to
Speaker 1: tell us more about maybe what we'll see going forward
Speaker 1: the rest of the season than that one half did.
Speaker 1: Because because here's my next question to you, how much
Speaker 1: does this one bad half change the outside narrative or
Speaker 1: the overall picture of this team right now? Because because look,
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay coming into this game against the Panthers got
Speaker 1: she lacked by the Saints three. Do you think they're
Speaker 1: a bad team. I think a lot of people were
Speaker 1: thinking they were a bad team after that game, which
Speaker 1: is why I think the outside narrative a lot of
Speaker 1: ways is just weak. Yeah, it's week to week it
Speaker 1: is what it is to say that, you know, I
Speaker 1: think this Panthers team for for the third quarter issues,
Speaker 1: the third down issues, um you know, not being able
Speaker 1: to get off the field on on defense, I think
Speaker 1: this team is is the team that keeps it close
Speaker 1: and and placed until the very end it is within
Speaker 1: one score of of winning the game versus the team
Speaker 1: that we saw have a really bad half versus Tampa Bay. Now,
Speaker 1: I think we'll we'll know more, um against the lines
Speaker 1: to see how they respond. But I I think that um,
Speaker 1: everyone's allowed a bad half, a bad game. No, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that's you know, they are on a losing streak.
Speaker 1: But I think that this team is the team that
Speaker 1: keeps it close despite those issues. I I do too.
Speaker 1: I also think that you know, there's there's there are
Speaker 1: more things that have continued to happen outside of just
Speaker 1: that half that they need. They Yeah, I would love
Speaker 1: more than anything. I mean, if they go out there
Speaker 1: and they forced Detroit into a three and out in
Speaker 1: the first drive of the first quarter, like that sideline
Speaker 1: is gonna erupt, you know, and it's it's gonna take
Speaker 1: They've got to do something like that, you know, and
Speaker 1: that's why you know Shatt came out there. He's like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna punch that ball out, like I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: this ball this first drive, you know, and they've got
Speaker 1: to keep doing that. You know, they've got to figure out, okay,
Speaker 1: this when we're coming out of the halftime locker room
Speaker 1: hair on fire. You know, we've got to come out
Speaker 1: and make a play because there's this narrative in our
Speaker 1: heads that you know, we hear from the coach, we
Speaker 1: hear from the media, we hear from everybody. We hear
Speaker 1: from our girlfriends and wives and kids at home, Hey
Speaker 1: why can't you? And it's like everyone's talking about it.
Speaker 1: And for them, I think it's a matter of coming
Speaker 1: out and just making one stop, making one first down,
Speaker 1: making one touchdown, making one big play in the third quarter,
Speaker 1: to like, hey, enough enough from all of you, enough
Speaker 1: from everything, like we're we're over this, We're done with this,
Speaker 1: We're moving on. And that role has talked about that
Speaker 1: where um, I'm gonna paraphrase him here and um, but
Speaker 1: he said essentially, sometimes players are trying so hard to
Speaker 1: make that big play that they get a little bit
Speaker 1: outside of what their job is, and so I think
Speaker 1: his messages what yours is, which is like, don't think
Speaker 1: about the fact that it's the third quarter and we
Speaker 1: have these third quarter problems and we're down by this much.
Speaker 1: Just go out there and and one snap at a time,
Speaker 1: make sure that you're doing your job. You hear the
Speaker 1: players say, like doing your one eleven, Like make sure
Speaker 1: that you're doing your job on this play, and the
Speaker 1: rest will take care of itself. And I think that's hard,
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's hard for all of us.
Speaker 1: It's a larger discussion of you know, trying to just
Speaker 1: focus on the task at hand and not get overwhelmed
Speaker 1: by everything else. But I mean that makes sense. We'll see,
Speaker 1: We'll see if they can get into that mindset. On Sunday.
Speaker 1: Do you play golf? Not? Well? Can you tell? I mean,
Speaker 1: like I always feel like there's it's it's that kind
Speaker 1: of that back nine when you just like had three
Speaker 1: or four quadruple bogies. This is why I'm not good
Speaker 1: at golf. And you just the next shot, you just
Speaker 1: want to hit it so hard and you just grip
Speaker 1: it so tight and you swing so hard, and man,
Speaker 1: it goes horribly, you know, and it's you know. It's
Speaker 1: just like you know how to hit the ball and
Speaker 1: you know that the people around you are going to
Speaker 1: make plays. So relax, be calm, and don't try to
Speaker 1: hit it too hard because if you do, you're you're
Speaker 1: gonna miss it. Or I like that you brought in
Speaker 1: a golf analogy, but in the middle of that you
Speaker 1: said you know the people around you were going to
Speaker 1: make plays on what are you on a golf team
Speaker 1: in that scenario? Be Yeah, absolutely captain's choice. I always
Speaker 1: know that someone else is going to hit a better
Speaker 1: drive than me, so I don't worry about it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can play best ball, that's no problem. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We're gonna be back for
Speaker 1: with more. Hi, this is Dewey Jenkins. When the team
Speaker 1: that manages our Morris Jenkins website told me the most
Speaker 1: often ask question is who is Mr Jenkins married too?
Speaker 1: You could have knocked me over with a feather. I
Speaker 1: went home and told my wife that I was so
Speaker 1: surprised that I didn't know what to say. She laughed
Speaker 1: and said, honey, my name is Renee. So now you
Speaker 1: know the team at Morris Jenkins than that are here
Speaker 1: for the Panthers, and we're here for you too, whenever
Speaker 1: you need us. All right, we'll got some stats for
Speaker 1: us the time fist of the week. This week we
Speaker 1: have a special edition of stad the week. We have
Speaker 1: no context stats of the week. I'm excited. So I
Speaker 1: did this a couple of weeks ago at halftime and apparently,
Speaker 1: you know, as the kids say, it blew up on Twitter.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to try it again and use Twitter.
Speaker 1: They use Fleet. Now do you use fleets? Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: called fleets? All right, Well, I don't wanna. I don't wanna.
Speaker 1: Yesterday in our we have a we have a weekly
Speaker 1: content meeting and Will is acting like he's the kids
Speaker 1: do this, and the kids do that. Fleets just debuted
Speaker 1: the other day, and you said something in our content
Speaker 1: meeting that was like, if you retweet my fleet on
Speaker 1: my It was just I don't know. Do you know
Speaker 1: a lot about fleets? I know nothing about fleets. That's
Speaker 1: what I was asking the questions to the kids. If
Speaker 1: they could if I posted a stat on fleets, would
Speaker 1: they be able to retweet my fleet? You know? Is
Speaker 1: that the is that the the optimal way to tweet fleet?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe not. I don't even know what
Speaker 1: we're talking about. Most people don't. All right, back to
Speaker 1: no context stats. So again, these are there is no
Speaker 1: context for these all these are bad stats. That's the point.
Speaker 1: So everyone at home that are going to yell at
Speaker 1: me over the computer screen, the point is that there's
Speaker 1: no context and they don't mean anything. Okay, So which
Speaker 1: player Kristen or Matt is second on the team in
Speaker 1: yards per catch behind d J Moore yards per catch? Well,
Speaker 1: it's got to be someone. It's got to be someone
Speaker 1: that has like two catches. I know the answer, but
Speaker 1: you're really you're right. I know the answer because he
Speaker 1: told me this one before. Well, now I can't say
Speaker 1: who I was because you're thinking is correct though. So
Speaker 1: it's just someone with a very small amount of catches.
Speaker 1: Do they have more than one catch? Have two catches?
Speaker 1: Brandon there is? I was thinking about sixteen yards per
Speaker 1: catch because uh he had the twenty eight yard catch
Speaker 1: from Joe Charlton with a fake punt, which leads to
Speaker 1: my next one. Did you know that Joe Charlton leads
Speaker 1: the NFL in yards per passing attempt first in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and he's actually tied for first in the NFL with
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry. I love that you did that and turned
Speaker 1: off the quality filters, which is like minimum ten passes
Speaker 1: or whatever. It is first in the NFL in yards
Speaker 1: per attempt in passing. All right, This player, who unfortunately
Speaker 1: is no longer on the active roster, he's on reserve,
Speaker 1: but he has the highest average top speed according to
Speaker 1: next Gen stats on the team. Really someone that's not
Speaker 1: on the active roster highest average top speed Reggie Keith Kirkwood.
Speaker 1: Really which yet now you know, I don't know exactly
Speaker 1: how you know it's that with the ball. Is that
Speaker 1: you know he's only had three plays or whatever with
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, versus other guys that have you know,
Speaker 1: so many more plays that kind of lead into it.
Speaker 1: All Right, here's one that I think is really interesting
Speaker 1: because we if you go to Panthers dot com, there's
Speaker 1: a great article on this player, um and kind of
Speaker 1: he's been really quietly playing quite well, um in in
Speaker 1: the last several weeks, you know, really kind of forced
Speaker 1: into service article. I didn't, I didn't, um, but someone did,
Speaker 1: and it's it's a really good read. But this player
Speaker 1: is second behind Shack Thompson with the fewest missed tackle
Speaker 1: with the lowest missed tackle percentage, which is corn Elder. Yes,
Speaker 1: corn Elder. How she reads dot com ideal, I did.
Speaker 1: I did see that there um is an article on
Speaker 1: corn Elder. But also he's just quietly I think it
Speaker 1: was Will saying, just like quietly doing really well. He's
Speaker 1: someone that we don't talk about as much, but but
Speaker 1: he's having a good season. He's been like a good
Speaker 1: all around guy for that defense, right and I think,
Speaker 1: you know, he had a career he led the team
Speaker 1: with eight tackles. You know, obviously, you know you don't want,
Speaker 1: you know, your cornerback to be leading the team all
Speaker 1: the time and tackles. But at the same time, I
Speaker 1: think this is a nice stat for him, you know,
Speaker 1: for I mean, it's really hard to be making those
Speaker 1: tackles and open space and for him to have such
Speaker 1: a low miss tackle percentage, it's really good for him.
Speaker 1: I mean, he has thirty two tackles, so it's not
Speaker 1: like he got one tackle and missed one tackle. I
Speaker 1: mean like he's he's had a lot of opportunities, not
Speaker 1: like some of the other quality filters. They turn it off.
Speaker 1: So here's the here's the last one for you, which
Speaker 1: is just so absurd. All right, this player, there's a
Speaker 1: stat called rushing yards after contact percentage, So the number
Speaker 1: of yards that you get after the first contact or
Speaker 1: how much, how much? What the percentage of that is
Speaker 1: this player one percent of his rushing yards have come
Speaker 1: after first contact. Well, at first I was like, well, obviously,
Speaker 1: but before you said one percent, I was like, well,
Speaker 1: Mike Davis would be too easy, Like, I'm sure he's
Speaker 1: got a great he's he's he's great after contact, but
Speaker 1: one hundred percent after contact that means they have like
Speaker 1: probably three rushes or something. He has he has more
Speaker 1: than one rush, I'll give you that. It's happened more
Speaker 1: than once, and all of his yards have come after contact.
Speaker 1: This is the first one. I'm just going to give
Speaker 1: up on. Miles Hartsfield. No, poor guy. I think he
Speaker 1: literally was like hit in the backfield and like every
Speaker 1: both rushes he had to like run through contact just
Speaker 1: to get back to the line of scrimmage. Miles Hartsfield,
Speaker 1: I love it. Those were great. Those were really really fun.
Speaker 1: Did you go in knowing any of that or knowing
Speaker 1: that you were looking for any of them, or did
Speaker 1: they just come to you. So there's ah, I actually
Speaker 1: get asked this sometimes on Twitter, but there's like this
Speaker 1: proprietary stats website called Radar three sixty which has like
Speaker 1: a lot of these things, um, And so what I
Speaker 1: did was there's all of these just random categories. So
Speaker 1: I made it just panthers, and I went through and
Speaker 1: I looked at the categories and I thought, what are
Speaker 1: some really random stats? Like this is just a like
Speaker 1: rushing yards after contact percentage. I just think is the
Speaker 1: one of the most random interesting things. I'm like, let's
Speaker 1: just see what's there. So I actually like pulled up
Speaker 1: maybe like thirty five different random stack categories and these
Speaker 1: are the ones that I pulled out. I like those,
Speaker 1: can you subscribe to that website? And like can anybody
Speaker 1: do it? Or do you get it through the league? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So it's through the league, Which is why everyone Twitter
Speaker 1: gets really mad at me, because they want to, like
Speaker 1: they want to like check my receipts. As the kids say,
Speaker 1: kids are saying a lot of stuff. They want to
Speaker 1: they want to make sure that they because they don't
Speaker 1: believe me when I say stuff, even when I screenshot it,
Speaker 1: and so they want to be able to have access
Speaker 1: for themselves to go in, mostly because they want to
Speaker 1: look up their own things, and I'm like, nah, sorry,
Speaker 1: David will ask me on game day to like look
Speaker 1: up a stat and I'll look at our media book
Speaker 1: from last year because it's got like twenty five years
Speaker 1: of history, and of course I can never find it.
Speaker 1: Signed up just texting you, Yeah, I do the same thing.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well what about it? Where do I find this? Ye?
Speaker 1: You do that? How many text messages a week do
Speaker 1: you get? I think all of us do it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: everyone does. That's why he's Panther stats guy. You don't
Speaker 1: get that. You don't get that on Twitter. You don't
Speaker 1: get that name on Twitter for no reason. Um. All right.
Speaker 1: If the Panthers get a third down stop in the
Speaker 1: third quarter during a home game, which will they need, one,
Speaker 1: lucky fan will win a smart home smoke and carbon
Speaker 1: monoxide detector through the Morris Jenkins Protect and Check sweepstakes.
Speaker 1: If the Panthers get a fourth down stop in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, that same fan will be going home with
Speaker 1: a gift cards. So be sure to check out contests
Speaker 1: dot Panthers dot com for more details on how you
Speaker 1: can enter. All right, got a weird Question of the week,
Speaker 1: A little bit different this time. UM, so you know
Speaker 1: we'll go what's cake flavor, best fast food, that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. I'm gonna start with Matt on this one,
Speaker 1: all right for the weird question of the week. If
Speaker 1: you are having a meeting to talk about work stuff
Speaker 1: and one person has their video on, is it rude
Speaker 1: for the other person to not have their video on?
Speaker 1: If the meeting goes over an hour, who started the meeting,
Speaker 1: the person showing the video or the person not? No context?
Speaker 1: If one person has their video on and you're talking
Speaker 1: for a long time, is it rude not to have
Speaker 1: your video on? I don't know. I feel like I
Speaker 1: wouldn't knowing me if I called you to do work
Speaker 1: stuff and you didn't have your video on, or if
Speaker 1: you did have your video on, I don't think I
Speaker 1: would ask you to change it or do anything. And
Speaker 1: I don't think I would change what I was doing
Speaker 1: based on what you ding it. Thank you, Matt, I
Speaker 1: asked this. This is not hypothetical. As you can tell,
Speaker 1: this isn't even a weird question. It's just it was
Speaker 1: just funny. So well, and I had a we were
Speaker 1: a part of a meeting on something else yesterday, and
Speaker 1: then Will said, um, do you want to talk about
Speaker 1: podcast afterwards? So we stayed on the call like the
Speaker 1: team's call, which is a zoom for anyone who doesn't know,
Speaker 1: it's the same thing similar, and we were brainstorming ideas
Speaker 1: for this podcast, and we were talking about some other
Speaker 1: work stuff and like forty five minutes and I was like,
Speaker 1: wait a second, I've just been talking to myself this
Speaker 1: entire time. Will just blank screen. I've had my video
Speaker 1: on the whole time. We're having a we're having a
Speaker 1: lengthy conversation about the podcast and things we want to do.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just talking to a blank screen minutes.
Speaker 1: I love it too. She wasn't like, well, do you
Speaker 1: want to turn your like what's but no, she was like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute. We've been doing all of this and
Speaker 1: going through all it, so here's here's my side of this,
Speaker 1: or Matt go ahead. I was just gonna say, how
Speaker 1: quickly did you realize her videos on yours? Wasn't Oh immediately,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't get to change it. So I had gone
Speaker 1: the entire day, I think four different teams meetings UM
Speaker 1: with I had been doing them from my cell phone
Speaker 1: so that I could continue Do you have the battery
Speaker 1: for that? It's always plugged in, So I was doing
Speaker 1: it from my cell phone so I could continue to
Speaker 1: work on my computer on other things, which is obviously
Speaker 1: how I how I handle all my tweet fleets. Um.
Speaker 1: So I had been called out for the earlier meeting
Speaker 1: in the morning because I turned my video on from
Speaker 1: my phone, which on the way it displays if everyone's
Speaker 1: on there like horizontal computer, like it's gonna give you
Speaker 1: a headache. Yeah, and then they're on their phone, so
Speaker 1: it like crops it. So it was just like my chin,
Speaker 1: I guess, And so I was like, I'm not too
Speaker 1: in my video on for the rest of the day
Speaker 1: because like everything's gonna be I think, I remember, and
Speaker 1: immediately turned off my video and didn't turn it back
Speaker 1: on for the rest of the day. So I was
Speaker 1: in this meeting with like five other people that all
Speaker 1: had their video on. I was the only one that didn't.
Speaker 1: And then afterwards it was just Chris and I wasn't
Speaker 1: going to turn on. Then I just, yeah, I should
Speaker 1: have I should have taken the hint and turned mine
Speaker 1: off too, But I just realized was just like, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm just talking to a blank screen. It's such this
Speaker 1: weird new thing, you know, or not new, but like
Speaker 1: all of the there's all these articles and white papers about,
Speaker 1: you know, the etiquette of virtual meetings in a COVID world. Now,
Speaker 1: I mean everything's changed. I'm just I'm saying, if your friend,
Speaker 1: you and your friend are playing a podcast, your coworker,
Speaker 1: you'd think, okay, got her video on, Like maybe I'll
Speaker 1: check in and say hello. All right, it's not even
Speaker 1: a question, and it wasn't even that big of a deal.
