Speaker 1

This week on the group Chat, we are handing out the preseason in VP awards. The obvious one of the preseason is Joey Sigh hits every kick he attempts in the preseason except for the one that gets blocked, including a fifty nine yard or here he is the swole kicker is now Caroline's kickers. And then we are previewing what we are most excited about with this two thousand nineteen Carolina Panthers roster. I'm excited for the return of North Turner, offensive plays, all of this and so much

more including Liam Neeson. Yeah that in more. This week on the group chat, you've been added to the group chat with your friends Caroline, can Max Sensen, and Will Brian. Welcome to the group chat. This one actually counts now we're counting the group chats now, before they were just you know, sensors and just see if we were gonna make the acts group chat. But congratulations, you all made the final roster for the group chat this this week one,

this is when it really counts. And I think we actually might get a special guest on this one, someone that we talked about, but you never there's still some waiver claims do this afternoon, So I hope that I make it through that true, It's true. I haven't heard anything. But you've had You've had a pretty good preseason though. Yeah, you should feel pretty good about it. I think Max

was a shining star. I had a great Yeah when I feel when when asked after the preseason how Max was feeling about making this team after last year potentially not making the team, he just said, I'm chilling. Is that what I said? Now? We're just making up quotes now that I thought you were going to say something else, But no, that's what did you think he was going

to say. I thought he was gonna hearken back to a Cameron Artist Pain quote Sason last year, I was using this year's preseason quote, Yeah, I see where you're going now, Yeah, camera is paying. Last year, when it was up for debate whether or not he was going to make the team, he had a really good preseason. He was like, look, I'm gonna get paid somewhere, and they ended up bringing him back. Um, but that quote was just amazing and Cameras Pain is no longer here.

As we saw, the running back competition was strong this year. Reggie Bonifon joined Scarlett on the active roster. No cameraaders paying, but great job bringing it back to this, bring it back to football. I will say there was this one interview that I did with a free agent that signed somewhere. I'm not going to say his name or the team, but I would ask why here, like why he was like they paid me the most money and we're like, oh, you got a point, Like okay, thank you for your

honesty stirs. Yeah. So always interesting, but we made it. Guys, Congratulations you made the final roster for the Group Chat. Week one. This is the one that really counts. I love when the narrative changes for football, Like we haven't been covering meaningful football for months, but all of a sudden, right now it matters Week one. Are you guys excited? Yeah? I mean, and what a what a matchup to kick it off, right? I mean, NFC champion rams tons of

talent on that team opening up at home. You know, this time of year in Carolina, it's gonna be one of those you just gotta feeling, it's gonna be one of those beautiful Carolina Sunday's blue sky grass is gonna be crisp and green and it's exciting. Everybody's excited Week one of the NFL season. Every team thinks they're gonna

be good. Every team there, everyone's writing all these optimistic stories about this guy is gonna break out, this defense is gonna be so much better, They're gonna be so aggressive, and it creates so many turnovers. I don't know which defensive coach ever says they're not going to do either of those two things, but it still happens every off season, and so it's time. It's time to find out who I mean, we know not everybody's team. No, no one is going to have a good team across the board.

So we're gonna find out. We're gonna find out who's gonna be good and who's now it is. And that would be a perfect segue to a segment if we were doing that segment next that you jump the gun. Okay, So to get us back, I'm just excited to get us back on track here, Max, But stay tuned because we are going to talk about that and things that get you so excited the first time, but not quite

right now. What we're gonna do right now, because some interesting things happen this preseason we're going to hand out a trophy. We don't have one here, for those of you wondering listening, there's not an actual trophy, but we're figuratively handing one out to our preseason m v P. I have some obscure nominees for this, but then we will have one winner. Okay, but let's go around. Who is your nominee for the preseason m v P. I never go first, so I'm not going to start now.

One of you guys, should I should I continue with the football team because you guys are gonna go a little bit. Yeah, in a different direction, because you guys are going off the wall, which is more fun, more fun, lets are better. I think the obvious winner of the preseason. The obvious winner of the preseason is Joey Sigh right, I mean, incredible story. This is someone Panther fans had never heard of a few weeks ago. All of a sudden, Graham Gonno's leg issue keeps popping up and Panthers really

aren't sure what's gonna happen with that. Meanwhile, Joey sly hits every kick he attempts in the preseason, except for the one that gets blocked. Including a fifty nine yard or um and here you get here. He is the swoll kicker is now Caroline is kicker. This is the first time since two thousand twelve of Graham Gono has not been the kicker on opening day. I mean, it's been a long time. Panthers have had some stability there

for a while. Uh, but what a story for Joey and I think we're all curious to see, you know, wants the kicks are for real now how he handles it. But I mean, without a doubt, I think Joey Slies is the preseason m v P winner of the preseason whatever you want to call it. He's been He's been wearing the same five shirts for like three weeks. Now. If you have not read this story on Panthers dot Com, you have to go read it. This man has been

doing laundry just to be like dressed every day. Like not not because he just likes the same thing like some of us do when wear it over and over. No, he had to watch the same five shirts just to make it through a week. And it's like go into a laundry map. Yeah, I mean I think that in in that story, it really kind of it shows that it's not all these draft picks then you think they get these million dollar bonuses and immediately by these big cars.

I mean, this guy has had opportunities and each time it evaporates. And he was, you know, not counting anything on this one, you know, just taking it day by day, never knowing what's coming next, and you know, you don't know if you're gonna be back, you know, living with living with your parents, trying to find a job, coaching camps or whatever it is. I think initially he thought it was gonna be like it was at other places, where like you're just a leg for a few weeks,

like okay, we got our kicker. We're gonna take it easy on him, like you're gonna come in and kick some kicks and then you're gone. Um, of course it was different this time for obvious reasons. But yeah, it's not a glamorous life being a journeyman kicker. I mean there's only thirty two. You get a signing bonus. You get a signing bonus of five. That's in the story got Snybou It's a five hundred dollars which he needed to use to have a hotel and to get back home.

He was not going out, and that's not a nice hotel either we're talking about. He was like, I just you know, for however long, and I was like, whoa, Like where are you? I don't care what kind of deal the team gets at that certain hotel. My goodness, sir. Yeah, go read it on Painthers dot com. It's a very interesting story and he'll probably win this competition. But I like the other nominees better. I like the other nominies to I mean, we're all Joey Sly, We're all rooting

for you. His you know what his nickname is from camp, which I thought this is one of I don't know, is Tweeter Varsity Blues. I just kept going with didn't make sense, but I heard and I was like, I thought to myself, this guy doesn't tweet, so it's not like Tweeter off Twitter, Like oh wait, wait wait, there's a certain character on football. All right, that was your one. I'll go next. Um. I would like to nominate the

snack supplier for the Panthers sidelines. While sidelining this preseason, I noticed gummy bears, gummy worms, multiple different flavors of sunflower seeds. And there was one particular player who may or may not have eaten a steak out of a to go box out of the buried in in the snack box on the sidelines by hand. By hand. It was like a tea boat, like there was a bone for him to hold onto. I don't think it was like a pork chopper or a steak or what was

going on. But he would just lean down in the box and just rip it out. And this is during the game. We have so many questions about this. I don't know if I want to share the identity of

this player only because people will love this. People, I think immediately are going to assume this was a large individual, like I am, I have a picture of like an offensive lineman grabbing a t but is that can you tell us if it was a like it was it was a large individual, but well they're all kind of large offensive lineman or are we talking like skill position? Like not as quite as tall as producer Matt. No

one has any idea how tall him that is? Yeah, I know, not quite as tall, doesn't have as long of hair as producers, doesn't have as long as hair. Although that's kind of misleading because it's not like he has that long of hair. But it's also true we're creating this mythical creature. He's not as tall, but he is tall. Matt Matt our producer. He's tall, Matt. How tall are you? I am six ft one. Welcome to it. What a great way to introduce yourself to Yeah, I'm

six ones. Of course he's standing up. Yeah, he stands up. He likes to look down on us. Thanks. It's like we're being watched, all right, back to more question back to our award, more questions. What brand gummies are we talking about? Like what kind? That's the thing. There was no placement of product, and there they were inside like they were hidden. They were hidden in it looked like

equipment bags, but there was gummies. So it's like sugar picked me up on the sideline and they would I know that it was a really big hit in Chicago. I mean it was the defensive line. The linebackers. People were having to put them down then come to interviews with right. I thought they were doing them with they were like still have them in their hands. No, I just noticed that they would be laying them down before they came out. Remember it was a couple of years.

I believe jin that the nutrition gin was setting them up. So she's I want to say it was two years ago. Do you don't know if you remember this, but they remember a picture we had in the site of Cam on the sidelined during a preseason game and he had like trolley gummy worms in his hand, like you could see that like that, like that he was literally holding a bag of them and trying to pull that out. But so, I mean, we know get like Cam has a huge thing for gummy worms. I'm curious who else

was really digging into it. Like Curtis, he was enjoying them pretty much the entire Dee. This is what I thought of Flos Lesley whoever ate the steak. I feel like there was some floss thing that had to happen before the end of the game. Can you imagine were they trying to like they were trying to be secretive about it as they were eating the stage. Yeah, I mean, it definitely wasn't something they were doing. I'm fascinated by this sideline steak. Yeah, we'll get to the bottom of it. Really,

it's just me telling you who it is. But I just don't think I can do that quite yet, I don't want to out them like that. I'm still building. I'm still building relationships here. People. You said it was in a to go box, it was box restaurant. It was like, no, I'm pretty sure like the kitchen staff here made it. And he was just chowing down on the sidelines. So did anyone did you see anyone else? Like? Haven't? It was just him. He was the only and he

had his name on the box. And the best part him and I made eye contact like mid like just so I can't like I just would have just looked at you and like you want to Yeah, I just feel like I can't, like we we had a moment, and I just feel like in that moment we were friends, and you can't tell on a friend like that. No one else has picked it up yet, so I don't know. We might see it again. This particular person is pretty regimented in the diet, but we will. I think preseason

is kind of there are more Sidelini antics. I mean, I agree, I don't think that's I don't think if we don't see it again, will you promise that, like and the season's over, at least you'll tell us who start a list of things we must tell at the end of the season, and we need we need a white board of you'll tell us things that Caroline will out and that's writing it down forget done either. Okay, so that's what nominee. Other nominee is there. There's an

equipment staff intern who runs everywhere everywhere. This man does not walk. He runs constantly. I've tried to track down his name, but I don't think anyone has actually had time to meet him because he's just running everywhere. So who I've asked. We're not sure of his name, but we're going to find out because he deserves at least is carrying things. Yeah, he's always like getting a guy's helmet, or oh, we need to move this piece of equipment. We need to do that. Like just running. Has have

you guys ever seen Taken? You know, the like daddy runs everywhere, So he's going everywhere. The daughter, though, I don't know if you know this, she never walks in the movie. You gotta go back and watch this again. She's constantly running. Granted she's being chased the whole movie. I get it. But from the time she leaves America and is taken, and then we don't see her again until the end. She runs everywhere she runs from even when they're getting off the plane in France. Just watch

It's No, No, No. The whole movie. You don't see her do anything other than staying there and be excited or take off running to her next day. Never see a walk. I know she jump under the bed, yeah, which I understand would I would too, But there's just a lot of Even at the end when she's like back, when she goes back to her parents and her mom is at the airport, she runs to her mom, you don't see her walk anyways. Those are my two novels. Quite the segue taken that was what do you have Will?

So my mind is a little bit kind of on the same the same sphere there exactly the preseason m v p uh Don Toner who is we do know his name. He's in charge of this equipment intern and in charge of all of our equipment. Second year as our director of um of all the equipment has been with the Panthers. He's no g from the beginning, back when we were all just little children and the uniforms. This year that he was able to acquire for this

team are fantastic. The there's some viral pictures going around. It seemed to display quality of stretchiness that are involved with these uniforms, and I wanted, I wanted to bring this up to uh kind of uh doubt that conspiracy theory that literally that the uniforms aren't that stretchy. Those are the undershirts under them. But we wanted to make sure that our our our listeners out there new. Yes,

but the uniforms are awesome. The players love them. They're Donnie have to do some quick work on that because, first of all, the uniform stories that we've pust on the website are like our best performing stories, so clearly there is significant interest in this. There's been a ton of interest from the players standpoint for a while because Panthers and the Packers were the only teams that didn't

have these new Nike Untouchable I think they're called uniforms. Uh. And then once Dave Tepper arrived and he had heard from the players that we really want these uniforms, he was like, Okay, let's make it happen. It's make it happen before season. So Donnie and his crew had to work like three speed to get this thing ready. And I think they just got the shipment of him in right before the Chicago game, so it was it was

pretty crazy to turn around to get all that they needed. Um, but hey, this is what the owner wanted, is the players wanted, and the fans love him. So it's been a huge hit all across the board. I'm curiously what the blue ones look like exactly too. I was gonna ask Max, You're you're the official uniform on the jersey, but you're the Jersey beat writer, so I can tell you anything. You are the black and the blue one is gonna look like this too, and they're all the

same template. Yeah, it's just and Donnie even told me this too. He hasn't seen it yet, Like he's literally waiting for the boxes to arrive, like it's taken you know, this this thing. So they're waiting on Nike for those to come in. And then Andy, Yeah, I'm curious see about the pants because he said they only had the white pants through preseason. I think they had plans. This is gonna be our most listen to podcast. We're talking

just literally just put Jersey discussion in the headline. Yeah, is going to be the most talked about podcast because last year we saw them experiment with a lot of different combinations of black pants, white pants, blue tops, whatever, and I think Donnie's cool with doing that stuff again. They just gotta get the pants in so we'll see see what they're able to break out in time. I do get a phone call every single week of there's

a security guard down at training camp. He's famous. If you've ever been a training camp, you know slick Daddy. It's like Daddy calls me every week to ask about the uniforms. He does every week because he wants to match when he watches the game unless the Tigers are on. Because he did call me last week and said that he wasn't going to watch our game because Clemson was on. I'm on the broadcast. He's calling to tell me I'm not gonna watch you. I'm gonna watch the Tigers. That

hurt a little, but that's okay. So yeah, everyone, there's your scoop on uniform before before we leave it, what is everyone's favorite unique combination? And you get to chime into I'm a big color rush girl blue and blue bloom blue bloom blue. What's the nickname for those the blueberries. But wasn't there like a nickname nickname for the blue on blue. I don't know who there was, like the

Mermaid or something. That's pretty funny, because yeah, I mean I just felt like all the pictures from the Dallas game, they just look like a lot of aquarium. Yeah, the aquarium. I think. I think, like I wish they were the blue Moore, the blue pants and the blue tops. The blue tops. Yeah, I don't think we get to see them enough. You only wear them twice. But I think people like seeing those just because they're different. I'd probably say blue top, white pants. I like that. Look, that's

the that's the favorite from Luke. I know in that in that video we post, it's obviously what's the second blue game? Because last year there was only one regular season blue game? We did one in the preseason one the regular This year it's Tampa. And let's go back and look it might be Matt save pull up that's Jersey schedule story and see it might just be that one this year. Actually, think there's another Oneld's say, can we play some like music? At this point in this

show is in our mission? Alright, so what about the black on black. Yeah. Look, I mean the internet loves the black on black. It won it won the best uniform of all time a couple of years ago, thanks to some handywork from some Panther fans. It's a Week two and Week five. Week Five's Jack's Jacksonville Game, the Hall of Fame Game, two very good games. Thur's the Night Football in Hall of Honor. The black on Black doesn't have the greatest success rate right when it comes

to wins and loss. I think that's what's kind of got people's opinions changed about it a little bit. I I kind of partly because of what happened in the game. I like the white tops, black pants, blue socks. Now you're going socks now too, because like the black socks are a bit are a bit much, No, But when you have the blue socks contrasting with the I mean that was that was the Eagles game uniform last year. I just love I love the way that looked. What

about a white out just all white. I'm a big monochromatic, like, just give me one thing. So to that point a lot, especially when we talk about black jersey, black pants, the next question always is black helmet are we ever going to see a black helmet? I don't know that we ever will. But if that happened, I think panther Nation would literally explode. I really they would. I don't think they could handle it. It would literally just would be. It would be the Be the Matt, the Matt Black.

It would be cool. Yeah, that'd be cool. We've totally gone off the rails. So we're going to award the Preseason Um Trophy m v P. Obviously to the uniforms because they weren't even really I mean, they were stretchy. It was gonna go to Joey slide. But after we spent eight minutes important, we just spent a good while. Although there was a review this week from Lazy Bunny thirty three years years zero five shout out send these

aren't long enough. Well, you're welcome, because we just spent a good time time talking about uniforms, Lee and Neeson uh stakes on the sideline. And now we're gonna switch to football. Here we go, the Rams are coming to town. There are some things about this game that we would like to preview, so we're gonna do that now. But we're gonna do it in a way of that new car smell. You know, when you get that new car,

everything's great about it. You read the reviews, you've done your homework, there's zero milea john it, you drive it off the lot. You're just so excited about it, and then you learn a thing or two about it, like, man, I really wish that maybe it had a sunroof. Should have gotten that with the sundry for oh man, that part is really expensive when it breaks. Okay, So we're

gonna do that with your Carolina Panthers. We're talking about what excites us the most about this team right now, when it's that new car smell beginning of the season. What are we most excited about with this team? Kick us off? Well, all right, so I'm gonna break the rules aga in Sorry. Yeah, from Jersey guy to app guy, I am. I am most excited about how many guys have mc C the first three letters, they're a last

three of them. That's the best. That shouldn't be How many people reply to that, come on, should not be free. That's content. That's content. Okay, continue, all right. So I told this to Chris Manherts and Alex Armer yesterday in the locker room and they were extremely excited. So that means you used to be excited to you should this weekend for those of you that have the Panthers at which should be all of you after I'm telling you this. Now you will have the chance to predict things happening

in the game. Who's going to win the coin toss, who's going to score on the first drive, what the outcome of the next drive is going to be right before it starts, who's going to get a hundred yards rushing? And if you get your predictions right, you get points to win very cool prizes. Okay, this is cool, I'll give it back to you. Yeah. I was going to make fun of you, but that's actually pretty cool. Yeah. So I'm very excited about it. I'm very nervous about it.

I'm going to play along on the sidelines. Well you technically you can't win, but well I can't win a prize. You can't win a prize. You can win, you can win points. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can compete. You can compete. I just can't win because I'm a part of the organization. Yeah, that's how that works. That's unfair, all right, that's fine, though, I'm so going to play. Yeah, it's actually really cool.

That's going to be everyone. Download the app, get your mobile tickets on the app, put them in your mobile wallet, and then start playing are awesome game? Do you have to put the tickets in the mobile wallet and then play the game? No, but it would be better if you did, because then you wouldn't be standing in line trying to get on just making sure these people just make it, make it quick. Actually, that is really cool. I know a lot of teams have tried to do

this and do things in Bowl with this. I think it's gonna be really and and the cool part about this is that you can do it if you're at the game in Bowl, or you can do it at home, so you don't have to be yar to do this. Panther Stack guy coming in strong, it's gonna it's gonna be a lot of fun. If you haven't seen his tweet about how many mix are on the team and in history, and for those of you that have listened, you know that I'm a Mick. You know I'm a mcfattening.

So it was the joy, the joy, the joy that I got to say by talking about McCoy, McCaffrey and McCloud. Yeah. It was great when Will was at his desk and he was like, this is the most repliance to a tweet I've had a long time. Does mcmixon come as a mix? Someone brought up yeah, because I asked people to list the mix and someone's like mcmixon and then someone said body mcboth face. Oh gosh, I love the Internet. All right, Max, I'm gonna try to bring this back

to football again. Sorry, I'll back you up on this one three or four defense, something shiny and new. I think people have been curious to see for a while what this defense would look like with some three or four elements mixed in. Um, they've drafted guys who fit that scheme, and Burns and Christian Miller and even Marky's Haynes, who's a much kind of more natural fit for this, who was drafted a couple of years ago. And they've added guys like McCoy upfront. Um, the whole how this

whole thing is gonna work. Ron Colin plays again. I'm very, very excited to see this defense in both rottle. I mean, we've only gotten to see a little taste in the preseason with the starters playing just a handful of snap. So for me, it's without a doubt this shiny new defense and what it's gonna look like with this new scheme. It does look pretty and the parts look really pretty too, because one of the things that I was excited about is the d line. But I I think Joey Sly

is my I'm excited to see him. He's said today on the radio that he feels comfortable from seventy yards. He told w fn Z that what seventy yards? I don't feel comfortable from ten, like no, and he's comfortable from seventy yards. It definitely it opens up all sorts of play calling in the middle of the field. You know, you start to think, you know, this is either four down territory, this is a you know, a polarity, you know, pooch punt. But no, this is where now in in

sly range. I think that's crazy because he got that fifty nine yard or in the preseason. So you can't say that he hasn't done ten yards to spare it did and did it hit the middle of the net. So yes, it's not real football, and you know, but yes it is. I mean for him, that was not you can translate field goals. Yeah, I agree, he didn't know.

I mean that was high pressure, he said. In an article also on payings not commun need to go read this, he said that in little league baseball he used to walk loaded bases just so that he could feel the pressure of then I need to strike these three out. If that is true, I don't know if a ten year old has the capacity to think like, oh, I'm so good, let me just toy around here. I'm sure there's a grain of truth like, yeah, maybe happened a

couple of times and you got three strikeouts. But I can't imagine like he is saying that he stood up there on the mountain and thought, I'm kind of bored, I'm so good on board, let's walk these players and then strike them out. So he's been putting himself in these high pressure situations. I think Joey Sly is a good look a new car and you're so excited that the gas mileage is unbelievable and you're about to take him on a road trip. But it is. The baseball

story is so great. It's also extremely arrogant, which I love, like the arrogance to say like I'm gonna just load these up so I can actually start trying. It's incredible. Come on, I think he's just gonna be fascinating. It's it he has. It is an unbelievable story. I I get a loss for words because I really don't think I was asked about this kicker Gate. Kicker Gate, Oh

is this happening? I just didn't buy into it. I thought, you know, no, I believe what they're saying, that they're just bringing him in for a camp like and I think that was it until it got to the point where it was like, we actually need more than this, and thank goodness, we took the time to reach out and find someone that can handle this. And his stories

are so cool. Him and Reggie bon Bon Bonifon have two of them, I think the best stories on this team right now, as far as some bubble guys that made the team. So he's that. I also am excited for Curtis Samuel and DJ more, the two of them, because you had predicted that Curtis Samuel is going to have like a I think you said. I think it was, but yeah, it was somewhere in that. I'm just kidding. How does that work? Actually? He can mute us. We

can't mute him. But yeah, I'm excited about those two because I think still that it's so high for them of like what we think they're capable of. Looking at last year, what they were able to do with no Cam Newton all all season cool stat. Curtis Samuel and d J. Moore number one and two wide receivers on this team. Really interchangeable, youngest duo for a number one,

number number two wide receiver in the entire league. Two the the average rost rage is six point one going into this year, which fans were very upset about the last several years when it was up near the thirties. You know. Julius Peppers kind of brought that, brought that. Mike Adams also brought the number up a little bits Davis, but still some older guys. That was a good stat. So I got one more to jump back in with some football welcome. So playing off the Curtis in DJ,

I'm excited for the return of North Turner. Offensive play calls, every classic, everything's you know, it's kind of it's that in the preseason, it's you know, not showing anything, you know, I haven't He's barely read in the end, Yeah, he hadn't done anything. You know, I think he's ready to go sit down there, you know, like take a look at that smoke and be like, all right, let's go. I'm just picturing NORV Turner Time sixties convertible cruising down.

Oh yeah, absolutely. I honestly, I can't believe we haven't yet. There's there's going to be something. In that first quarter they were like, yeah, Norm's back. The North phil the hard Phillip. The North Turner Wade Phillips matchup I think is fascinating. Yes, uh, Wade has given this Panther's team trouble. You might remember Super both fifty and then for defense, he is one of the best defensive coordinators in the league, brings a ton of pressure. He also runs one of

the best Twitter accounts. Yes, son of them, I mean he way Phillips is awesome. Panther fans don't like him very much, and for good reason. To mean, his defenses have always been really, really good against him. So I'm I'm very excited to see those two kind of play chess against one another. Wade in his defense for the Rams, which is loaded with town and you gotta deal with Aaron Donald, which is just a beast in it of itself. Um, and nor of his will was saying, I mean super

creative play calling last year. Um, I think we're gonna see even more of it. So those two coordinators squaring off, I think it's going to be pretty fascinating to watch. It is gonna be a funny I mean, really, the more you think about this matchup, it's a good, good Week one matchup. Is there's a lot of really tough matchups for this Panthers team, but there's also something that I think are super favorable for the Panthers, which is what you want to see in a Week one and

I think this is one of them too. I mean, Week one teams are not gonna be at their best right. The starters haven't played a whole lot in the preseason. There's some rusty you gotta shake off. Everyone's kind of finding each other out. So I think it's a good time to get the Rams coming off super Bowl loss. We saw what happened this Panther's team coming off their Super Bowl loss. It's not cross stuntree across the one

o'clock kick. Yeah, I don't know that the Panthers are better than the Rams right now, I can't say that, but I think they very well might be the better team on Sunday and the one the one big area this Rams team struggled with last year was run defense. So I'd be really curious to see because one of the thing about North Turners that he's he doesn't try to do everything against everyone. He's going to know I have an advantage here, I'm going to use it and

use it and use it and use it. And I don't care if I have to like be you know, if if we're if we're better in this one area, We're just gonna keep going back to the well on it. So I wouldn't be surprised to see how he tries to manipulate that. You know, your corner Aaron Donald, and all of a sudden you're going the other way, and you know, who knows what McCaffrey can do. Yeah, there's a ton to watch. More storylines will come out as we get closer and closer to the game, but right

now it looks like Cam Newton will be there. It is exciting to see these starters that we didn't get to see a lot of in the preseason Welcome to real football. Welcome to week one of the regular season. We will see them, um, but I hope you enjoyed this podcast full of Liam Neeson, uh sideline stakes. We did talk some football.
