Speaker 1: with Maxims and Will Brian, Will Brian and Will Brian.
Speaker 1: We are in what week of this season entering lucky
Speaker 1: number thirteen? Are you guys superstitious? A little sitious? It's
Speaker 1: a little citious I'm shocked you didn't say that immediately.
Speaker 1: I kin beat me to it. You gave him a
Speaker 1: good second though, where he could have jumped in. Not superstitious,
Speaker 1: but I am a little stitious, a little citious. I
Speaker 1: was umber thirteen in college, my favorite, really big. I'm
Speaker 1: a big fan. You like to just bucket by going
Speaker 1: straight at it? Do I like that? It came with
Speaker 1: a bit of an attitude with it, Like people notice
Speaker 1: number thirteen just because it's the number thirteen, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're and like people notice number one, number one,
Speaker 1: but anything in between there is kind of up for grabs,
Speaker 1: you know, does is a bit of a statement number? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it comes with a bit of an attitude. I would agree,
Speaker 1: thank you. Now, do you think Jerry's right has a
Speaker 1: bit of an attitude? It's that, you know, he had
Speaker 1: an attitude. Calvin Benjamin Kelvin thirteen Kelvin Benjamin Benjamin. It's
Speaker 1: almost like a house bunny. You know, she's trying to
Speaker 1: remember the names. She's like, well, Brian, remember the names anyone?
Speaker 1: You guys haven't seen a house bunny. Oh man? All right, Well,
Speaker 1: for those listening out there, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: When she's trying to remember names. She's not very good
Speaker 1: at it, so she says that in a weird way
Speaker 1: to remember the name, you should try that, are you guys?
Speaker 1: Guys name doesn't go back to the office. Isn't Michael
Speaker 1: Scott or something like that. Uh, it's like fat boy,
Speaker 1: probably very inappropriate if it has anything to do with
Speaker 1: what Michael Scott does. But yeah, no he does. He
Speaker 1: has like things for everybody that's completely weird. It's week thirteen.
Speaker 1: We don't know what we're talking about, but what we
Speaker 1: do know is that it's getting to that point in
Speaker 1: the season where you can start looking at how the
Speaker 1: season is going to end. A lot of people have
Speaker 1: to do this in week one through five. We decided
Speaker 1: to wait until there were five weeks left in the season.
Speaker 1: So going in a week thirteen, we're going to play
Speaker 1: fun game that is I believe every disc jockey, cheesy
Speaker 1: radio head guy has introduced this. So we're going to
Speaker 1: bring in our resident um voice guy. I think a
Speaker 1: resident voice guys. Nothing prooned. That's why it's so good.
Speaker 1: He's such a nice guy. So to introduce our segment
Speaker 1: for this week on the group Chat, here is the
Speaker 1: Voice Guy Week thirteen on the group chat, it's truth
Speaker 1: or trash. We you've got a statu you tell us?
Speaker 1: Is it? O? My god, that was so good. That's back,
Speaker 1: started doubling over it. I lost it. I tried not
Speaker 1: to look it back. I wasn't prepared for that good. Honestly,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I couldn't finish. That was so good.
Speaker 1: I was looking at the levels to see when you peaked,
Speaker 1: and it was so early, and then you went into
Speaker 1: explaining it. That was good. You're gonna I was going
Speaker 1: to do the whole thing. Welcome, so good. The truth
Speaker 1: or trash. That's right, everyone, we're playing truth or trash.
Speaker 1: We're going to make a statement and see if you
Speaker 1: agree with us or disagree with us that that statement
Speaker 1: is absolute truth or knock come on, get out of here,
Speaker 1: that's trash. So I was actually I was cheating on
Speaker 1: the group chat a little bit earlier this morning, um
Speaker 1: and made a guest appearance on Inside Voices Everyone Give
Speaker 1: Will around as the Panthers podcast guys in Poplar Demand.
Speaker 1: So I think they reminded me of a stat prediction
Speaker 1: that I think we had earlier in the summer, way
Speaker 1: long before the season even started. Uh, something that that
Speaker 1: Caroline brought up about Curtis Samuel. It was it was
Speaker 1: about Curtis, remember that one. I was just picking the
Speaker 1: wrong the wrong cat patent member, right right, right right,
Speaker 1: I was. I was close honestly as far as predictions go,
Speaker 1: I'll take that one as a win. Sure, I mean,
Speaker 1: because no one would have thought anyone would have had
Speaker 1: two thousand yards? Did I say two thousand? You said
Speaker 1: two thousand? Really? So he just went a little high,
Speaker 1: did I did I say two thousand? I think I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna we're gonna roll this back. We will
Speaker 1: find that and see I'm pretty sure that's true. We
Speaker 1: do need to we need to introducer. I think I
Speaker 1: blacked out. I didn't say too that we should actually
Speaker 1: probably look back at that entire episode and see what
Speaker 1: all of us said. Yes, that would be great. I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna look this up. I probably said some
Speaker 1: things at the defense that have not come to fruition.
Speaker 1: But what do you do? Well, congratulations on cheating on
Speaker 1: the group chat. Were I'm pretty sure that I said that,
Speaker 1: you know that wasn't as fun as the group chat,
Speaker 1: and that you know is Kevin Donnelly listens to this religiously,
Speaker 1: So he's going to be mad at you. He was,
Speaker 1: he was, he was. He was very jealous of the
Speaker 1: number of can opens that we do to open the
Speaker 1: open the group we have bottles, So we didn't get
Speaker 1: any good apparently in Taylor Davis is not a fan
Speaker 1: of our a s mr. Apparently that that kind of
Speaker 1: speaks her out a little bit. Honestly, I'm with Taylor
Speaker 1: on that. But we do it. But we do it
Speaker 1: each time. That wasn't a reason to start doing it.
Speaker 1: There was no reason back to truths can do it again,
Speaker 1: No you can't. We're doing truth or trash. Here we
Speaker 1: say a statement. See if you agree with us, see
Speaker 1: if we agree with ourselves about how these last five
Speaker 1: weeks could play out for your Carolina Panthers. Let's go, Will.
Speaker 1: Since you're on a street here, you've got a smirk
Speaker 1: on your face. I'm excited for you, buddy. What you got.
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey breaks the NFL scrimmage yard record for a
Speaker 1: single season. The record is two thousand, five hundred nine
Speaker 1: scrimmag yards, held by Chris Johnson. McCaffrey has a little
Speaker 1: bit over seventeen hundred right now, which would mean he'd
Speaker 1: have to average about a hundred and thirty scrimmae yards
Speaker 1: a game for the last five games. Anybody's gonna say
Speaker 1: trash to that? I said someone, I said someone would
Speaker 1: get over two thousand years. I'm just saying yards atually,
Speaker 1: I said that, I feel very confident in this one too,
Speaker 1: A hundred thirty yards a game for Christian. I mean,
Speaker 1: what is the averaging right now per game scrimmag yards wise?
Speaker 1: Come on, will come on? Come on? But no, I'm
Speaker 1: with you. I'm I feel very very confident, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think this is four so we could go it's
Speaker 1: all about me. You know, last time he literally played
Speaker 1: one series. If Christian plays all sixteen games, I think
Speaker 1: confidently he breaks the record. And that would be tough too,
Speaker 1: because everyone kind of wanted to see him get a
Speaker 1: thousand a thousand last year and I kind of had
Speaker 1: to pull him when he was within sort of striking distance.
Speaker 1: You know, he wants to achieve something like that. Who wouldn't, Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I would. I would hope he gets a chance to
Speaker 1: do it. But of course, depending on where the Panthers
Speaker 1: are in their season. You know, you also do have
Speaker 1: to start thinking about maybe kind of protecting him from
Speaker 1: itself a little bit. So yeah, I mean that that's
Speaker 1: the question for you. If if let's say he's within
Speaker 1: a hundred scrimmage yards, we're in the second quarter week seventeen,
Speaker 1: Panthers potentially maybe not in the playoff RaSE at that point,
Speaker 1: I'll do you one better. I say he'll break it
Speaker 1: before week seventeen. Wow, I think it's very doable. Let's
Speaker 1: go off of that. CMC wins m v P through
Speaker 1: the trash. It's not gonna happen. It's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: I mean, you see what Lamar Jackson just did. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's our m v P, that's for sure. But it's
Speaker 1: just I mean, your your your team's record plays a
Speaker 1: huge role. Unfortunately, Carolina season three losses in a row. Now,
Speaker 1: that makes it tough on him. And you have these quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: It's always not pill battle. Do you think if Carol,
Speaker 1: if Caroline was eight and two right now, would he
Speaker 1: be able to overtake a quarterback? I mean, he'd have
Speaker 1: to continue to do some spectacular things. He'd have to
Speaker 1: have some game winning touchdowns, some big moments um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I think he'd be I don't think it's
Speaker 1: possible now, right, but I think it would be possible.
Speaker 1: And that's I mean, shoot, if you give like that
Speaker 1: week too, if he gets in there, if he gets
Speaker 1: into Green Bay, if he would have gotten into New Orleans,
Speaker 1: if they would have given him, you know, like if
Speaker 1: nor of where to dial up another halfback toss for
Speaker 1: a touchdown, I mean, if they if he had a
Speaker 1: couple of moments like that on the stretch of a
Speaker 1: team that was going to the playoffs, then yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it'd be possible. But it's hard. It's hard when
Speaker 1: you're when your team is five and six. We'll see
Speaker 1: if they can rattle off some more wins and he
Speaker 1: has some huge games, But right now i'd say, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: last one on McCaffrey, does he win the rushing crown?
Speaker 1: No Panthers ever done it? Yeah, I think truth Yet,
Speaker 1: I mean, now, who are the main competitors? You were
Speaker 1: talking Dalvin Cook, Who's who's on his heels right now?
Speaker 1: Nick Chub is actually behind him? So Chub is now
Speaker 1: ahead of Cook. What's the what's the order of the
Speaker 1: rushing leaders? We didn't prepare Will for all these questions. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll supposed to know these things. How he went on
Speaker 1: inside voices because he spent his time this morning, he said,
Speaker 1: of getting ready for the group chat, he goes and
Speaker 1: cheets on us. You're exactly right. Do you have the
Speaker 1: list for us? Now? Yeah? I do? Okay, great, come
Speaker 1: we here, Okay. Christian McCaffrey one launder twenty three rushing yards,
Speaker 1: Chub eleven seventeen, Cook one thousand and seventeen than Derrick Henry,
Speaker 1: Josh Jacob. Yeah, I mean I think he'll get it.
Speaker 1: I like that a matter of fact, he'll get it.
Speaker 1: Truth book. I'll go defense here. Let's hear it. Let's go.
Speaker 1: Brian Burns will in this season as the Panthers sack leader.
Speaker 1: Right now, he is behind Mario Addison. Burns has what
Speaker 1: five and a half Mario was eight. The thing about
Speaker 1: Brian Burns is he's been dealing with this wrist injury,
Speaker 1: but he has said this week, Max, I think he
Speaker 1: told you I'm over it. Now he has those pins removed. YEP.
Speaker 1: I think he's he's feeling a lot better. He didn't
Speaker 1: get the sack that he was still kind of upset about.
Speaker 1: In the two point conversion against Tennessee. He feels like
Speaker 1: he should have six sacks six and a half secks.
Speaker 1: Do you want me to go change that? You can't.
Speaker 1: That's an NFL thing, and you know I can make it.
Speaker 1: You should get credit for a sack, even if it
Speaker 1: happens like like Dante had that interception on the two
Speaker 1: point try last year. Doesn't get credit for that either, Right,
Speaker 1: you should get credit for that. No it happened. I agree.
Speaker 1: I don't know why the team can get two points
Speaker 1: from it. We should be able to write the other
Speaker 1: team doesn't get You don't get a touchdown. I mean,
Speaker 1: so if Christian McCaffrey died, what it is? But it's
Speaker 1: not a sack? Isn't what it is? Either? Yeah? It is.
Speaker 1: Why isn't it Well, why isn't it a touchdown? Because
Speaker 1: all you're doing the two point conversion is just what
Speaker 1: to go? How how many yards is it? Right? Two
Speaker 1: and a half or three? That's what it is. It's
Speaker 1: not so much to score the touchdowns just you have
Speaker 1: to cross the finish line. But you only have to sack. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's like a first it's like a first down.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just think if if someone makes a
Speaker 1: huge tackle to stop a two point conversion there, like
Speaker 1: they don't and they don't get credit for that tackle,
Speaker 1: Like that's a that's a very on the game. I
Speaker 1: don't know anyway. Burns thinks you should have six and
Speaker 1: a half, but he has five and a half sack
Speaker 1: Breeze and I think just twenty two snaps he had
Speaker 1: against the same I think that's going to be the
Speaker 1: big question. I know this is the thing fans are
Speaker 1: talking about a lot, Brian Burns maybe getting more playing
Speaker 1: time as the season goes on. Ron did say that
Speaker 1: he agrees that Burns appears to be past the hand
Speaker 1: injury um late in the season, I would expect to
Speaker 1: see more young players playing more. So I think he
Speaker 1: has a real shot. Remember how how to start he
Speaker 1: got off to four. Things slowed down for him, So
Speaker 1: I think Burns could overtake Mario. I do back to
Speaker 1: the two point conversion. Do the players get credited for
Speaker 1: playing that snap? You know, like it's the end of
Speaker 1: the season. If you're a rookie or you're on a base,
Speaker 1: you will get a player bonus. How many? I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's I think it's almost like it
Speaker 1: it's like it happened, but it didn't. Or is it
Speaker 1: a special team snap. I don't know. Maybe it's a
Speaker 1: special team snap like a punt or an extra point. Interesting.
Speaker 1: We will find out interesting. Who's next, Max, I'll go next.
Speaker 1: So what did we say that Burns is going to
Speaker 1: pass him? Did we? Did we come up? I'm leaning
Speaker 1: towards yes, not to say Mario is not going to
Speaker 1: have any more sacks, but I kind of starting to
Speaker 1: feel like Burns is going to recapture a little bit
Speaker 1: of that that moj that we had earlier this season.
Speaker 1: I'll lean to this. I think for the first time
Speaker 1: in five years, the Panthers will have two players with
Speaker 1: at least ten sacks. I don't know that he's gonna
Speaker 1: catch Mario in. Mario and Julius have it in seventeen.
Speaker 1: I think both had eleven. Yeah, never mine in four years,
Speaker 1: three years. Stat, guys, that's what you get on. He's
Speaker 1: just so blustered this morning. Can't get anything right over there,
Speaker 1: min they were nic I want to go back. I
Speaker 1: want to go back. Oh that felt good. Put I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure it doesn't count as a special teams snap
Speaker 1: because it wasn't. I mean, Christian McCaffrey's out there for
Speaker 1: a two pointer. Why are we talking about this again?
Speaker 1: Because she as the question I'm getting ready for my
Speaker 1: next truth or trash it was trying to answer. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think that it counts as the special team
Speaker 1: snap either. Thank you? Okay, are you ready? The Panthers
Speaker 1: will win a game this season when trailing at halftime.
Speaker 1: Here's the stat for you. Carolina is two and twenty
Speaker 1: when trailing at halftime since the start of the sixteen season. Hurt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And man, that Saints game, and we haven't really talked
Speaker 1: too much about what has happened in New Orleans, but
Speaker 1: I thought that was about as well played a game
Speaker 1: in New Orleans as you could have expected from this team.
Speaker 1: It was not far from perfect, but that was one
Speaker 1: where trailing at halftime. It was seventeen fifteen. Why I
Speaker 1: when they didn't get the two point conversion, I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: they can't win now. Yeah, they're losing a half time,
Speaker 1: but man, rallied back from fourteen, rally back from thirteen
Speaker 1: the second half. It was a game where I did
Speaker 1: not realize we had tied the game when we did,
Speaker 1: I'm on the sidelines I'm there, I'm you know, everything,
Speaker 1: and it happens. I'm like, great, we score and look
Speaker 1: up and I was like, whoa, we tied this ball game.
Speaker 1: But that's it. You're playing from behind the entire game
Speaker 1: and then you you're able to tie it there at
Speaker 1: the end. What I loved about the game was Kyle
Speaker 1: Allen showing that he can play from behind. That was
Speaker 1: a big question, especially, I mean, you're you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. You can't just lean on Christian
Speaker 1: McCaffrey that. I mean, we know that's what you want
Speaker 1: to do, and that's how this team can definitely win.
Speaker 1: But I thought it was a great performance by Kyle Allen.
Speaker 1: So for this I'm going to say that they can win.
Speaker 1: They will win when I mean, hopefully they don't trail
Speaker 1: a halftime. But let's be realistic about the schedule they
Speaker 1: have coming up and the fact that this team struggles
Speaker 1: to start fast. And Ron has talked about this repeatedly
Speaker 1: after games. It was a slow start. You heard that
Speaker 1: from Mario told me that after the game, immediately after.
Speaker 1: It's frustrating when you start slow and you're having to
Speaker 1: climb up hill. So I think they will I think
Speaker 1: they will win one. I'm gonna piggyback up what you
Speaker 1: said about Kyle. I mean, I think I think that
Speaker 1: was the best game of Kyle's career. Can all things considered,
Speaker 1: the opponent the point in Carolina season coming off the
Speaker 1: game he came off of. I think the fact that
Speaker 1: you know Drew Brees is the quarterback on the other side.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we put a Superdome, you put
Speaker 1: all that together, and I thought Kyle played tremendous football
Speaker 1: um and look, you know, defense gave up thirty one
Speaker 1: points there. You know it's there's a thirty one thirty
Speaker 1: one game where you're looking at a chance to take
Speaker 1: the lead. I think that it's a it's a high number,
Speaker 1: but down in the Superdome, like I thought, it was
Speaker 1: an acceptable performance. You got the interception on Brees late,
Speaker 1: you got the fourth and one stop. I mean, you
Speaker 1: got those big stops that you needed. All of that
Speaker 1: put together. Walking into that locker room after the game,
Speaker 1: it felt like a playoff loss, just because they had
Speaker 1: really put an effort together. That was man, it was
Speaker 1: so close to have got getting it done in a
Speaker 1: place that's so hard to win, and it's just kind
Speaker 1: of been the story of this season, it seems, whether
Speaker 1: it's Green Bay Tampa Bay, this game here just so
Speaker 1: close and coming up just short, and I mean that's
Speaker 1: the margins are slimming this league, and unfortunately for this
Speaker 1: team with a with a chance to have a huge,
Speaker 1: huge win, it ended up being a devastating loss. And
Speaker 1: what you what you hope for is that that it
Speaker 1: doesn't end up being like a playoff loss and that
Speaker 1: that was it, you know, like, all right, we we
Speaker 1: gave everything we got and we still couldn't get it
Speaker 1: here in New Orleans. And it did sort of feel
Speaker 1: like that, especially too with like Greg Van Rowlin goes down,
Speaker 1: Dontari Po goes down, and it's like, man, this battle
Speaker 1: is really taking its toll, but they're in it and
Speaker 1: now they're in a position to take the lead here
Speaker 1: late and to see it go the way it did
Speaker 1: it it just that one Tray Turner after the game
Speaker 1: said this one feels a little different, and he didn't
Speaker 1: really need to explain it because you knew what he meant.
Speaker 1: I mean, this one against the division rival Saints in
Speaker 1: their bill holding with this Panther team backed up against
Speaker 1: the wall to have had it in their hands, really
Speaker 1: and to let it slip away that one, you know
Speaker 1: what he meant? You got another one? All right? This
Speaker 1: one is a little bit ingest so factor that in
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams will start a game at center this year.
Speaker 1: Caroline really likes this fun which so Darryl Williams has
Speaker 1: started at four of the old ligned positions already this season,
Speaker 1: and I hope Matt Partis continues to start at the
Speaker 1: year at center. I mean, that's like, you know, not
Speaker 1: a knock on wood situation, but he's one position away
Speaker 1: from getting the full the cycle. Has anyone ever completed
Speaker 1: the cycle on the offensive? Lie? Man, now you're now
Speaker 1: you're asking a really tough one. Come on, Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, but like it so was it you?
Speaker 1: Who was who was saying that? Like they were laughing
Speaker 1: at this meme of Daryl Williams. I think there was Zack.
Speaker 1: It was Zach. You know, there's the meme out there,
Speaker 1: like the professor that walks into the classes is the
Speaker 1: exact same thing, Hello hello, hello, hello hello, Like that's Darryllor.
Speaker 1: When when Darrell goes out there in the huddle, like
Speaker 1: where does he stand? Does get confused sometimes over here
Speaker 1: we do I need to go. Okay, I'll go over there.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, I mean, but that's offensive line this year,
Speaker 1: and really it seems like all the time in the
Speaker 1: NFL teams are having to juggle guys and position flexibilities,
Speaker 1: and never been more apparent than with Darryl this year.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's literally played all over left left guard,
Speaker 1: right guard, right tackle, left tackle, and now with Van
Speaker 1: Rowen's injuries seemingly to be pretty serious. Um, I magic
Speaker 1: we'll see him at left guard for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 1: But I raised the point maybe they let him and
Speaker 1: he ever played center. I don't think so. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he could snap it, yeah, could he snap?
Speaker 1: But could they let him just do it once so
Speaker 1: we could say the full cycle? Yeah? I mean, Ron
Speaker 1: Max has a question for you. I'd like to go
Speaker 1: find coach Mats go. That would be a great conversation.
Speaker 1: Coach Mascow likes me, which makes me very happy. He
Speaker 1: likes me too, but it's a major accomplishment. I think
Speaker 1: the reason he likes me is because when we were
Speaker 1: in London stating on the sideline, I wanted to ask
Speaker 1: a question about the offensive line everyone out there. Coach
Speaker 1: Moscow doesn't really do interviews. So I asked him that
Speaker 1: that's putting it lightly too. I said, hey, coach, do
Speaker 1: you mind if I can I ask you a question?
Speaker 1: And he was like hey, kind of like no, no,
Speaker 1: I don't do that. And I was like, okay, coach,
Speaker 1: that's perfectly fine, you know whatever. And ever since then,
Speaker 1: I mean, he has taken the time to get to
Speaker 1: know me, ask about my family wherever he it's almost
Speaker 1: like a sting of guilt that he did not do that,
Speaker 1: and I no hard feeling. That's my job to ask,
Speaker 1: and it is their job to say yes or no
Speaker 1: to it if you want to do it. And it
Speaker 1: has Yeah, we're buddies now though. Great, he's great. All right,
Speaker 1: I have one more. The Panthers will have more than
Speaker 1: two Pro bowlers. We know the obvious two. Does anybody
Speaker 1: else get to go? Christian and Luke? Anybody joining them?
Speaker 1: You guys don't seem optimistic. No, I'm not sure. I'll
Speaker 1: say truth on this, all right? And now who would
Speaker 1: be your next one to go? DJ Moore? You may
Speaker 1: not go. He may not go as the guy like
Speaker 1: he has an alternate. He's the he's the under the radar.
Speaker 1: He's always this under the radar guy. I think DJ
Speaker 1: Moore could possibly go, and I hope he does. Who
Speaker 1: have a hell of a year that's together a great
Speaker 1: season's record? Is he? I don't know that. That's why
Speaker 1: the alternate makes sense for him, because there's always some
Speaker 1: guys that go as alternates that you have no idea
Speaker 1: what their sees was like, but then when you look
Speaker 1: at it, you're like, Wow, they had a great season.
Speaker 1: I think that's DJ. DJ is not. He hasn't gotten
Speaker 1: into the end zone as much. So that's why I
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people know about him. But
Speaker 1: he's one of what five players that has over nine
Speaker 1: yards right now? What, Like, come on, no one knows
Speaker 1: that the other ones are all in the NFC. So
Speaker 1: it's that's what's a little bit tough. Sometimes you kind
Speaker 1: of play NFC a f C math, you know, in
Speaker 1: terms of like and wide receiver is such a glamorous
Speaker 1: position that like it's hard to imagine, Like it's very
Speaker 1: much names that go in like Julio Jones, Michael Thomas,
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, like even the guys in this division are
Speaker 1: just like big name Mark Coopers, right, So that would
Speaker 1: be my thing is just does he have enough? Because look,
Speaker 1: let's be honest, Pro Bowl a lot of times is
Speaker 1: a popularity contest. That's what a lot of guys will
Speaker 1: tell you. Is he popular enough to get in? I
Speaker 1: think on merit, you're right, I mean yard season, if
Speaker 1: he puts that together, is Pro Bowl caliber for sure.
Speaker 1: The other one I would say is James Bradbury. And
Speaker 1: I know he had a tough moment here against the Saints,
Speaker 1: matched up against Michael Thomas, is the NFL's leading wide
Speaker 1: receiver and everything. But if Bradbury gets another couple of picks,
Speaker 1: I mean his passer rating against has been so good
Speaker 1: all season, I think he's again deserving. I just don't
Speaker 1: know that he's popular enough. Sad as it is to say,
Speaker 1: and that's hard because especially you know, with a fan
Speaker 1: part of the vote, no one's looking at you know,
Speaker 1: your PFF passer rating against, you know, coverage rate. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's interceptions. Are it's interceptions, corner comes out of interception.
Speaker 1: That's how many picks. But he's got three, you know,
Speaker 1: if he gets a couple more, I think he could
Speaker 1: be In the conversation but you're right about DJ. I
Speaker 1: think that's a good one. I hope DJ goes. He
Speaker 1: would have a heck of a year. He's putting together
Speaker 1: really great season. He's assumed to be Dad any day
Speaker 1: now go to the Pro Bowl. That would be only
Speaker 1: and at least you know, a lot of times Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl seasons are set up by the seasons before. This
Speaker 1: could be one of those things where he kind of
Speaker 1: really gets on the people's radar at the end of December,
Speaker 1: you know, the voting is happening now. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: he's kind of turning it on a little bit late
Speaker 1: in terms of people's perception. But you kind of get
Speaker 1: on people's radar and DJ next year, you know, I think,
Speaker 1: I mean especially with like with Christian, I mean not
Speaker 1: that he isn't having a Pro Bowl season, but it
Speaker 1: was almost like, if he did anything close to what
Speaker 1: he did last year, he's going this year because of
Speaker 1: what happened last year. That is true, all right. Well,
Speaker 1: through the trash, that was pretty good, guys, I thought
Speaker 1: that was pretty so. I don't think that was a
Speaker 1: trash segment. I think that was pretty good. I think
Speaker 1: as a segment as a whole, that was the Truth
Speaker 1: Truth segment. Good job, we agree with it. But now everyone,
Speaker 1: it's time for your favorite segment of the week and
Speaker 1: our voice guy. I guess we'll let him come back.
Speaker 1: We're getting a lot of work out of him today.
Speaker 1: We did pretty poor on our opening voice segment there,
Speaker 1: so redeem yourself Voice Guy, Line of the week, Line
Speaker 1: of the week, Glad of the week. We're getting a
Speaker 1: little is it falsetto? Now that's high? What's the little? Little?
Speaker 1: Started in falsetto and it ended up in something way worse?
Speaker 1: Have we talked about on this show yet? Um will
Speaker 1: being a cappella? Yeah? Have we talked about that? I
Speaker 1: don't know. We haven't we mentioned that. Yeah, well let's
Speaker 1: mentioned now everyone listening will share what you about your
Speaker 1: acapela graph. I am essentially a much better than I
Speaker 1: sirt in more mature version of Andy Bernard, another office
Speaker 1: reference we've been get on the office since then. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he has some really bad You went ahead
Speaker 1: and just made yourself. Yes, I'm better than Andy. I
Speaker 1: I just a very Andy statement, which yes, he would
Speaker 1: he would say that, except that, you know, like I
Speaker 1: wouldn't actually punch the wall. I would just think about
Speaker 1: punching the wall. You're a lot like Andy. I could
Speaker 1: see you punching a wall. Okay, I mean he's got
Speaker 1: his Davidson mug here saying next to him, right, I
Speaker 1: went to Davidson. Have you heard of it? Have you
Speaker 1: heard of it? If someone else like said they knew
Speaker 1: something about Davidson, I was like, you did not go
Speaker 1: to Davidson. Dwight got a lot of Andy Bernard in him.
Speaker 1: So I was an acapella group in high school. Yep.
Speaker 1: So voice guy has some real experience. Yeah. Yeah, the pipes.
Speaker 1: He's a little rusty, so that's why he's been it's
Speaker 1: been years. Yes, But but I am not above inviting
Speaker 1: the quarter pounders. As we were called to the office
Speaker 1: Christmas party, quarter the quarter pounders? Is there a price sheet?
Speaker 1: Would it be around five grand to bring them in?
Speaker 1: I think it would be a bit cheaper seeing us
Speaker 1: how they are high school acapella quartet. I believe Andy
Speaker 1: said it was what five thousand for pay? Yeah? Well
Speaker 1: you know it's Cornell. Yeah, yeah, it's different. What high
Speaker 1: school were we talking about here? Porter go, that's a
Speaker 1: good one. All right, Let's go line to the week
Speaker 1: for real. Our line in the week. This week comes
Speaker 1: courtesy of Gerald McCoy, who was pretty fired up after
Speaker 1: the game in New Orleans. Quote, talking is over with,
Speaker 1: it's time to start doing We're too good for this.
Speaker 1: It's frustrating. I don't care how good the Saints are.
Speaker 1: Let me take that back. The Saints are a great team.
Speaker 1: That's why they win so much. They're not a good team.
Speaker 1: They're a great team. But we're a good team too.
Speaker 1: We just have to be better, especially me. M the
Speaker 1: buck stops with me, That's what that sounds. Did he did?
Speaker 1: He also say that, Uh, I've spent nine years in Tampa.
Speaker 1: I'm used to I'm used to losing and moving on.
Speaker 1: He said something along those lines earlier in the year.
Speaker 1: I don't know if keep it moving, Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: think he kind of summed up a lot of the feeling.
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I mean, do you think, like
Speaker 1: do we think the pants like the line of the
Speaker 1: NFL is you are what your record says you are?
Speaker 1: Are the Panthers better than five and six? Do you
Speaker 1: think this team is what Gerald is saying, should this
Speaker 1: team be? And everyone looks at those few close losses.
Speaker 1: I mean, they've had a bunch that have been by
Speaker 1: one score of the year. Is this team better than
Speaker 1: the record indicates. I want to say yes, just because
Speaker 1: those games are so close, But you have to go
Speaker 1: back to you are, your record and the things that
Speaker 1: have been going wrong. The Saints game was probably the
Speaker 1: most frustrating up to this point as far as the
Speaker 1: steaks being in New Orleans, going States team and you're
Speaker 1: so close there at the end, but you missfield goals,
Speaker 1: You can't get it in on the what five chances
Speaker 1: you have in the goal at six chances you have
Speaker 1: on the goal line. Those are the moments that I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know what, you're five and six team. If you can't,
Speaker 1: you're you're getting yourself close enough. But that's that's not
Speaker 1: how football works. Close only works And what hand garnaides
Speaker 1: and what is it? And hangarnaides? Yeah, I think that's
Speaker 1: NFL football. It's like it's going to come down to
Speaker 1: a possession or a handful of plays and that's what's
Speaker 1: going to separate teams who are playoff bound in those
Speaker 1: who are around five. And the other saying is, you know,
Speaker 1: good teams find a way to win. Not so good
Speaker 1: teams find a way to lose. The Panthers right now
Speaker 1: have just continue to find ways to lose. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just the sad truth of the matter. It's it's
Speaker 1: been whether it's a missed twenty yard field goal, whether
Speaker 1: it's a third in six conversion, it's leg right. I
Speaker 1: mean it's just, um, you know, that's that's just kind
Speaker 1: of been how things have gone lately. And you know,
Speaker 1: I hear what he's saying. I think the talent certainly
Speaker 1: has been there from the beginning. Um, but that's NFL football, man.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just this is it's going to come
Speaker 1: down to those few plays and it's either you make
Speaker 1: them or you don't. It's a make or misleague. The
Speaker 1: people will say that about the NBA, right, it's the
Speaker 1: same way in the NFL. The plays are going to
Speaker 1: be there. Who's gonna make them? The plays for there
Speaker 1: to be made, doesn't care who makes them. Yeah, nobody
Speaker 1: cares who makes the play. Somebody's gotta make it. Growing
Speaker 1: out so many cliches right now, and I think I
Speaker 1: think they're apt in this in this conversation. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I hear is pain. I Mean, look, this team,
Speaker 1: it's been tough because Man, these losses, these losses, especially
Speaker 1: against good teams Green Bay in New Orleans. I mean
Speaker 1: those two they're heartbreakers, but that's and they've they've flashed,
Speaker 1: you know, yes, like you you you make this incredible
Speaker 1: play to you know, stop momentum right before the half.
Speaker 1: You know, Gerald does, and you know, Kyle makes this
Speaker 1: incredible play on fourth down to find DJ and I
Speaker 1: mean just all these like, you know, even just to
Speaker 1: get there, to get to those points. The fourth down
Speaker 1: stop on Kamarax so hard to pick off Breeze. He's
Speaker 1: been so good taking the football Boston with the interception,
Speaker 1: and it's like, man, it just felt like everything was
Speaker 1: sort of happening. But you've got to finish the deal.
Speaker 1: It's the expectation. I don't think the expectation is there
Speaker 1: for the Panthers to finish out these games and to win,
Speaker 1: because they haven't been. And I think that says a
Speaker 1: lot when you get into November December football, when the
Speaker 1: expectation of the team that you're playing is we better
Speaker 1: watch out for them in the second half, their second
Speaker 1: half team or there. We can't let him get in
Speaker 1: the red zone because they score in the red zone.
Speaker 1: I don't think those expectations are there for this team
Speaker 1: when other teams are preparing for them or when the
Speaker 1: game is on the line. It's hard to have those
Speaker 1: expectations just because of the record. So good job Gerald
Speaker 1: for saying it. I think they've been saying this for
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. I believe Luke said it a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. Greg has said this that it's an
Speaker 1: it's enough talking. Now we have to go out and do.
Speaker 1: The Panthers have five weeks to be able to prove
Speaker 1: that they can do that, whether that's to try and
Speaker 1: still push for the playoffs like they can at this
Speaker 1: current moment, or if it gets into playing spoiler to
Speaker 1: other teams that they have on their schedules. So still
Speaker 1: five weeks of football left. There are a lot of
Speaker 1: truth and a lot of trash left. Do still talk
Speaker 1: about this season. But right now we just want to
Speaker 1: say congratulations to Will Brian for doing two podcasts in
Speaker 1: one day. We really do applaud you. We thank you
Speaker 1: so much from the bottom of our hearts. I gotta
Speaker 1: take a break. The Panthers podcast network would not be
Speaker 1: anything without Will. We'll see you guys next week.
