This is the athletic football show.

Welcome to the athletic football show.

Today is Tuesday, December 7th.

I'm Robert Mays.

Joining me today.

My good friend, Mitchell Schwartz, Mitch. How are you doing, buddy? I'm doing pretty good. How are we doing today? Doing all right. Doing all right. A lot of stuff to get to you today because it's kind of a jam-packed Sunday night show with Nate last night when we were recording. and I think that there's a lot of stuff that we didn't get to and wanted to.

And man, people came through.

Everything I would and wanted to.

And, man, people came through.

Everything I would have wanted to hit, there were questions about it.

So it feels like this is going to be a great little extension of the conversation we had last night.

And with that, let's get to our first voicemail.

Hey, Robert and Mitch.

I'm Daniel from Charlotte.

Unfortunately, for me, I'm a Panthers fan. So I was curious to hear what you guys thought about the Joe Brady firing. It seems like there's a discourse between the national media and the local media. He's a very creative play caller, and that's not something we've seen a lot in Carolina.

And it's hard to succeed with this offensive line and quarterback situation over the last couple years.

But I also thought his situational and Red Zone play calling left a lot to be desired.

So I was curious to hear your thoughts on it.

Matt Rule has also just kind of made a skate goad out of a lot to be desired. So I was curious to hear your thoughts on it.

Matt Rule has also just kind of made a scapegoat out of a lot of guys. Like last year of Teddy Bridgewater, this year it's Brady.

I'm not really sure what direction this team is going.

Good luck.
