WEBVTT - The Group Chat Episode 1: Summer Love Connections 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.400 Hey, guys, welcome to the Group Chat, which is a 0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:05.200 brand new podcast for the Carolina Panthers where we are 0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:08.959 covering everything from pop culture to what happens on game days. 0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:11.840 And for our very first episode, we got a little crazy. 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.880 We talked about Madden ratings and how the guys reacted. 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:17.599 I still get pretty fired up when I see the 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.560 ratings and I think there are legitimate grapes for guys 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:23.200 on this team. And we talked about the love connections 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:26.279 and budding romances that we hope to see this season. 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:28.840 So this is just a really weird way to start this, 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.600 but I'm looking at Perry Fuel. Stick around for the 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.360 craziness that is about to ensue on our very first 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:47.440 episode that starts right now. You've been added to the 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:51.080 Group Chat with your friends Caroline, can Max Sensen, and 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:55.600 Will Brian. The first one is always exciting. I'm excited, 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.640 are you guys excited? Don't ever want it? Once there 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.000 was a pause, and I know why there was a pause, 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.679 because they take it there. That's Welcome to the Group 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.440 Chat everyone. If that wasn't an open I don't know 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:12.080 what is. We're excited about this. We rebring in a 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.440 new look a new name, but I gotta be honest, 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:18.399 same people. But we're funny, We're more funny, We're bringing more. 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.600 We'll find out how funny we are. I guess we're 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.000 actually still trying to decide, like, who's the funny one. 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:27.320 Who's gonna I'm keeping this on some type of track. 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.920 Apparently you're trying. We're gonna. We're gonna derail you very soon. 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.039 And we have already decided that a new element of 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.679 the show will be people can leave the group chat, 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.920 just like you can on phones. And our bet is 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.280 that Will gets kicked out first. There's all these buttons 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.560 that people can push and all of a sudden I disappear. 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.480 I don't like that. Yeah, if you don't hear Will 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.080 for a while. The funny thing. The funny thing was 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.520 the group chat. Before the group chat was happening on 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.920 Slack and we were trying to figure out what time 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.559 we were going to get together to record this and 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.080 what we were doing and all that, and Will was 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.720 just making things way more confusing than they had actually got. 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.720 So he got kicked out, Well, he kicked himself out. 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.880 At least you know when to leave. I have good 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.800 self awareness on Madden. I'm like a ninety nine on 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:15.840 the awareness those ratings did just come out. I awareness 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.680 for me is pretty low. I didn't even know the 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.480 ratings came out. I told people were complaining, So my 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.560 awareness is pretty low. Good old Madden ratings, right, I 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.040 was a big Madden door back in the day. So 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.480 I I still get pretty fired up when I see 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.600 the ratings and I think there are legitimate gripes for 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:37.000 guys on this team. Um like, like like Trey Turner 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.639 is an eight? Is that what he was? He was 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.000 an eight? Right? The guy's been to the Pro Bowl 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:46.600 four times? Not good enough? Yeah, that's I'm now excited. 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:48.440 I always get excited when I see the adjusters on 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.360 the sidelines because you kind of get something. The guys 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.600 pick up on it. There's a little side yeah yeah, 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.440 I mean guys are very proud. Like speed is one 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.360 like Dante Jackson, of course, you know, is curious what 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.440 his speed rate isn't mad And I'm sure he feels 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.600 he should be at I feel like I would be 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.200 if I got rated. I would just be um offended, 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.560 more so because I couldn't live up to how fast 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.280 they might say I am. People look at me like, oh, 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.360 you're athletic, Like, oh you rain track like cool, You've 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:20.280 got to be pretty. No, I'm not fast, not fast. 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.280 Volleyball was your game, right, Yeah, but people don't what 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:28.320 about yeah, quickness? Like my form I can. I got 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.840 like form, really good on the fundamentals in the form, 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.080 but anything else, like just pure athleticism, I feel like 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:36.960 people would give me a little bit more on that. 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.520 The best batter ratings, though, are like the guys at 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.080 the bottom of the roster. You have to see that 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.920 they're like a fifty seven, but then have random things. 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.440 They're like they're fifty seven, but they're like eighty three 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.880 in strength and they don't have to do like oftentimes, 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.240 like the skin tones are not close to what they 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.640 should be, and they don't look anything like how they 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.480 actually do in real life. The bottom of the roster 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.640 guys on Madden are always some of them guys. I'm 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.600 supposed to keep this on track and already feeling miserably. 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.040 This is not a topic that we were going to 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:05.760 talk about. But isn't that kind of what happens in 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.800 group chats anyway. So we're on brand, We're doing well 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.000 for our first one here, but what we are points 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.440 for taking this off. I'm pretty sure that all right, 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.240 we're gonna keep a running track. Good job will you 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:16.960 did that one, But for this one to get us 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.640 back on track, we're gonna take There was just a 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.400 theme that I believe ran through this off season for 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.839 the Panthers as far as off the field goes. So 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.760 when they were here, we talked about all the football stuff, 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:32.560 but off the field, there was this theme of romance. Anyone. Yeah, 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.320 we got some romance do field. Definitely. It was a 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:39.600 hot girl summer. Yeah, we'll just learned about how that 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.479 might be strike too. You get one more and you're out. 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:46.800 We're gonna get dump button. Yeah, now he's muted. Now 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:48.880 now he's out. All right, you get one more strike 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:50.720 and then you're out. But there was this sense of 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.800 roman let's yeah, a lot a lot of examples, right, 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:58.040 and then a couple of guys are expecting their d J. 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.599 Moore and Chris Hogan and his wife we expecting another child. 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.840 There's uh, we had an engagement, not necessarily of someone 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.440 on the team, but Greg Olsen was right there paptured 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.680 love just right there of of that commitment. And then 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.120 perhaps the best um I there, there's a lot to 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.919 unpack here with this because it's yet to be confirmed. 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:26.159 But did anyone here um about Christian McCaffrey's link romance link? 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.240 Anyone out there something about it? Well? You know, yeah, 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.040 I followed the New York Post on Twitter and they 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.520 post all these pictures and actually, we should honestly be 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.440 turning this around and say, did you hear about you know, 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:43.080 Olivia Coulpus, Because no one knows who Christian McCaffrey is. 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:44.760 When you look at these, are like, we're getting it. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.080 We're like looking up in Google's like who is Christian McCaffrey, Like, 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.600 that's what's being I know everyone out there listening, you're 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.000 probably Panthers fans. You're like, well, who is this a 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.719 living You're googling who she is right now? But no, 0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:01.520 how like extremely more famous. I don't know. She was 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.920 a former Miss Universe. I think she's got four million 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.479 or something. She was Miss Rhode Island, Miss USA and 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:12.760 the Miss Universe four point two million Christians. That's more 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.240 than the Panther's head has. That that's more than the 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.640 Panthers Instagram has. Yeah, Panthers have some new fans. Yeah, 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.000 this is a bit of a different market. I will 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:25.120 say we have new fans potentially. This has not been confirmed, 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:26.400 so I think a lot of these people they're not 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.440 sure if they're Panthers fans. But yeah, Christians not even 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.320 at a million yet. He's he's got some work to do, 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.640 although this might help him, This might give us some 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.560 new followers. And that was just not a headline I 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.880 was expecting. But there was a lot when it's off 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.240 the field. We hear about families here about love. We 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:46.719 hear about some not confirmed romances. But the way that 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.800 people found out about this was what on Instagram. They 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:54.720 followed each other, liked photos. It's incredible, Hey because of Instagram? 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:58.120 Who are you guys linked to? Yeah? Well that was 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:02.840 the look. I mean, we're not going there. The thing 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.719 we're talking about, though, like was how amazing it must 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:10.160 be to live in a world where you could like 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.560 a photo on Instagram and this this may or not 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.360 be how it all went down, whatever, whether it was 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.720 a like, whether it was a d M whatever, and 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:20.840 then like Instagram story, an Instagram story, whatever it is, 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.800 but to be to be famous enough or high profile 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.040 enough to do that. And then a couple of weeks later, 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.400 whatever it is end up in Mexico having a great 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.400 time being paparazzi photographs, share it on New York posts 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:36.400 like that's amazing that that could happen that quickly, Like 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:41.720 it's just something that somebody like Will could never just yes, 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:48.320 thank you. It's just crazy to think it's just something 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:53.200 that has been looks a little like Christian McCaffrey before. 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:57.240 There's a there's a story that our former offensive coordinator, 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.960 uh coach, I was standing next to Christian yeah, and 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.480 he's just like, hey, Christian, look it's your doppelganger. And 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:08.160 Christians just like looking at me like oh yeah really, 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.800 And I'm just like, well, thanks, coach, And I'm sorry, Christian, 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:17.000 Well are you dating anyone to read linking this day Christian? 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:21.000 Christian made headlines. No, you didn't follow anyone on Instagram 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.040 lately or like any post I did, but no one's 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:25.480 picking up on it in the news media, and I 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:26.760 want to keep it that way. All right, Well, there 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:28.600 you go, everyone, and go check out his instagram to 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.240 see if he's linked to anyone. But it has been 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.520 just crazy to watch this kind of unfold of We 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:38.319 literally saw romance right there on the front page, not 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.920 normally what we read about him or really of Greg 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.240 being involved in anything. It's been fun to learn about 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:48.600 these growing families. So with this theme of love, I thought, well, 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.000 with training camp here, let's let's kind of link this back, 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:57.120 this romance to the roster. Okay, so I tasked everyone 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.240 to come up with either a love interest, someone they 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.920 love or that they want to see. What's a romance 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.840 on the team that you want to see these guys 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.760 really bond? In training Camp. I took it a slightly 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.400 different round and may have found myself on YouTube googling 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.880 the dating game and watching Arnold Schwarzenegger find his match 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.920 in the nineteen seventies. So this is gonna get a 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.000 little bit weird. But welcome to the group chat, because 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.640 that's what they're all about. So Will is going to 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:27.559 go first. He's going to take this off. Who on 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.480 this roster are you looking to for romance? See, this 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.719 is just a really weird way to start this. But 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:42.200 I'm looking at Perry Fuel. Yes, just like let imagine 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.800 as Perry Fuel is listening to this podcast, he is like, 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:49.760 wait what So everyone has been clamoring for new faces 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.400 in the secondary. This year after the departure of Mike 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:56.000 Adams Captain Manlin. You know, who are the Panthers adding 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.000 in to get younger, to get faster. And I think 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.199 the biggest to do into this secondary is the new coach, 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.360 Harry Fuel And I think to bring it back to 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.719 the uh, you know, this love affair sort I think 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.120 he had maybe a little bit of a bad breakup 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:16.040 with one Jalen Ramsey. Definitely in Jackson things some things 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.199 were said, things were said that might have been you know, 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.640 spur of the moment, you know, out of out of 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:25.320 emotional emotional angst. You know, it will will be reporting 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.040 this summer, you know on on coach coaches side of 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.240 this story. Well we'll find out about that later. But anyway, 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.439 I think I want to see him and I want 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:34.920 to see this secondary and I want to see them 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.360 come together. Um. You know, for for those of you 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.439 that are Amazon Prime members that have watched All or 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.719 Nothing already, you've you've taken a look at what this 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.079 secondary does to to relate to each other. In last 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.880 year's group, and Mike and Captain are no longer there, 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:51.520 who are the leaders of this group? Now? You know 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.880 what what is that relationship going to be like what, 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.400 how are these guys going to come together? Um? And 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.520 I think that's gonna be really important to start forging 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.480 and training camp. All I'm picturing right now is that 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.760 training camp like someone you know the Instagram filter that 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:04.760 like zooms in on someone who has hearts around it 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:11.560 totally during that day one that speaking of linking romance. Now, 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.679 that's how it's going to get started right there on 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.599 Instagram story, doesn't all? I like that one that is 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.040 gonna I think a lot of people have a ton 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:19.640 of questions about that. Secondary. That was one of the 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:21.920 first ones that I was asked about when I got here, 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.160 was well, you can even asking me? Can I play safety? Yeah? 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.400 That was everyone's favorite joke for a while. Yeah, I 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.400 already told you I'm not fast, So you don't want that. 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:32.880 You don't want me to play you got I mean 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:34.640 you got some hype though, I mean you can back 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.720 some balls, not very fast ball. Can you run backwards 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.520 as fast as you can run as your back pedal? Honestly? Probably? Yeah? Yeah, 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.120 I got that. Yeah, alright, fine, I'll play safety. But 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.599 well I do I do like your perry choice. I 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.280 think you're Jalen Ramsey thing. It's interesting too because it did. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.240 They did have kind of a bit of a dramatic breakup, 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.080 but you can't deny they were really good things. They 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.079 were really good for each other. That that secondary was 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.840 ranked like number one. Have you heard that about a relationship, 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:03.760 But they were they were like one of the best, 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.959 second or on the outside, and it looks perfect. It's 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.319 like the perfect relationship and nobody knew what was going on. 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:14.000 But I think Jalen and the Jacksonville Jaguar's loss is 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.480 a panther's game. I think Perry Fuel is a darn 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.480 good coach. He's got coordinating experience. He and Ron know 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.560 each other really well. Starting to fall in love too. 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.240 I like Perry a lot. Getting a chance to talk 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.480 to him the spring, I think much like Will. I 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:30.160 think we're a little smitten. Alright, well that's not yours though, 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.319 So you're up next. Okay, all right, here's mine. I 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.640 went with a little bit of a like literal take 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:43.360 on this romance because we as we all know, the 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:48.880 quarterbacks center relationship is a very intimate one. It's it's intimate, 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:53.880 I mean things get you know, yeah, very personal. Uh 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:58.400 and it's got to be a strong relationship built on trust. UM. 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.679 And you've got a situation in Carolina where the guy 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.200 who was Cam Newton center. You talk about a romance 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.280 and a true love for one another. Ryan Khalil and 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:12.320 Cam Newton had that um and now Cam has got 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.319 to move on without him, and that's gonna be a 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.800 challenge because of what Ryan meant to this team to Again, 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.560 as Will Men mentioned the Amazon All or Nothing series, 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.080 what you see in that is what Ryan Khalil meant 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.480 to this group. And you see him with the old 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.480 line at halftime of games. I mean, that's a big, 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:32.200 big presence that's gone. Matt Paradise is not Ryan Khalil. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.240 He's not going to try to be Ryan Khalil. He's 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.280 got a completely different leadership style, goes about it in 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.360 a different way. The similarity is they're both really really 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.200 darned good centers, um and so we know he can play, 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.400 but how are he and Cam gonna jail? Obviously the 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.760 fundamental start to every play on the offense side of balls, 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.360 you've got had a good exchange. So they got to 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.079 get that down and know and and and you know 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.440 Matt's coming back from an injury himself, so it might 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.120 take him a little bit of time before we get 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.800 into camp over that, but I do from an injury. 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:07.880 They have something in common. And oh yeah, Ryan, Ryan 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.880 was camped. As Cam said a few years ago, Ryan 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.760 was Cam's like hidden Jim. He felt like people didn't 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.439 really realize how much Ryan men And that's kind of 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:18.640 the thing for offensive lineman. People don't give them the 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.080 credit they deserve. Then that's something they wear with pride. 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:25.120 But having said that, now that he's gone the you know, 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.640 the spotlight shines on Matt Parritis and it's like, you're 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.840 gonna need to be Cam's guy now, and not just 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.480 for Cam, but that whole offensive line. He's directing the 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.160 whole thing. And you talk about the secondary people having questions, 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.440 People got a ton of questions about the offensive line too, 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.880 because if you want to keep ham Cam upright and 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.600 that shoulder healthy, you gotta protect him. Um. So that 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.080 is my connection that I hope really starts to take 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.640 shape down in camp and the heat of Spartanburg I 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:52.160 felt and Cam I just I feel like this is 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.000 really gonna work for them. They're coming off injuries. They 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.240 can just sit and talk about that over a nice 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.680 meal of what is it white being chili down there, 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.480 the famous chili. I'm excited about that one. I took 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.520 a slightly different spin on this, Like I said, I 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.480 found myself, you know how YouTube as you get on 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.360 there and all of a sudden you're just in a wormhole. 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.480 And I found at the end of my little wormhole 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:17.160 a nineteen seventies dating game with Arnold Schwarzenegger. So I'm 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.920 playing this with the backup quarterbacks because the love connection 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:25.200 that I want to see is one backup quarterback really 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.040 grabbed the attention of Ron Rivera and Marty Hernie and 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:32.400 this team because we saw last year that that's important 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:33.960 now if you keep him healthy. I was with the 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.160 Colts last year and Andrew Luck was back and he 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.680 was healthy. Let me tell you, there was something about 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:42.400 knowing that Jacoby Rissette was on the sidelines. He wasn't 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:44.520 Andrew Luck, and he wasn't you know, going to be 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.480 that franchise guy. But there just was something nice to 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:51.440 know that your signal caller has experience, is very trusted, 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:53.640 and people are like, Okay, Jacoby can still go in 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.080 there and win ballgames and do that. So that's what 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:57.920 I want for the Carolina Panthers. I want to see 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.120 this connection, but I I couldn't pick this one. So 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:05.960 we're gonna do the dating game introductions. Welcome to the 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.360 Panthers backup quarterback Dating Game. Okay, our suitor he's looking 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:11.600 up for love at that backup spot, and that is 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.680 Marty Herny. He's a general manager and ultimately he'll hand 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.480 out that that coveted spot of a roster spot. So 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.440 let's meet our contestants. First. We have a three year 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.840 old athletic young man from Scottsdale, Arizona, who at one 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:27.600 point was the most desirable quarterback in the country with 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.400 double digit suitors coming out of high school and man 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:31.880 this past year, he's been in a bit of a 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.400 journey to find himself as a new NFL quarterback, but 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.120 he's proven that he belongs here in the National Football League. 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.000 And let's not forget that giving heart of his guys. 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.840 He volunteers and built homes with the One Mission Organization 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.440 as a part of the Jesse Rees Foundation, helping to 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:50.520 encourage kids fighting cancer. He's carrying. He's talented. He's number seven. 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:58.320 Kyle Alan. Yeah, I know he could be all right. Secondly, 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.240 we have a twenty six year old American football quarterback 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.720 from Swanne, Georgia.

This contestant he grabbed the hearts of fans 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.160 or suffering a heartbreak injury that sent him to rehab, 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.000 well the athletic training rehab, nothing series, but he recovered 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.440 and he has fought hard in this offseason to prove 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.640 his worth in this relationship. And in his spare time, 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:31.320 this contestant likes to spend it with his family, which 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.879 includes a puppy nephew.

His relationship before Carolina it was successful, 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.439 but will that translate? There are a lot of questions 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.199 about this contestant, but one thing we know is how 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.800 much he loves his family and how much he loves Carolina. 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:20.480 So he's the hometown boy, the Bearded Beast Number three 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:29.200 spill Greer.
