Astros Sweep Angels, Texans Beat Bears, NFL/CFB Week 2 Recap, UT Looking To Become #1

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Saulisbury.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Okay, let's do this.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Sewn Salisbury, the usc Truths, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury, Ryan.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Lima, go Lobos. This is the Sewan Salisbury Show.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
Yeah, good morning. Was an ugly But I thought the
Texans offense sucked. It was not I thought they sucked, Sands,
Nico Collins. I thought they're off I thought Stroud was.
He was fine, but it was he was not as
sharp as he's used to. They did not push the
line of scrimmage with or without mixing. I thought the
offensive line was putrid. And I'm telling you right now,

(00:43):
I've had it with the one with Laramie runs. You
look at them. They put the graphic up last night
of his numbers. How many times he's had an illegal
procedure start. I'll bet you more than half of them
are at home. You cannot call a guy who's that gifted,
one of the best two or three tax in the
league or top five and say, but well, well he's

(01:04):
still a top five guy. He just jumps off sides
all the time. He's fortunate he's got a kicker that
understands how to do it. And they're fortunate their defense
played out of their mind. Again last night, because if
they don't and Caleb Williams protects the ball down the
red zone, they're.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
One and one. And Chicago's offense is pitiful. Yeah suck.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
I mean he's a he's going to be a playmaker
because he is Caleb Williams. But they can't block anybody
I'm talking about, and their tackle their tackles can't get
out of their stance, and they jump off side too.
Their offensive line is is is pitiful. They're awful. But
this offensive line here is supposed to be better. You
can't calling telling me Jeremy Tunsell, Oh, he's an earth

(01:44):
Jeremy Laramy Tunseell is a great play great player. He
just jumps off side two times a game minimum. It's
a rare. He's already got four this year and he's
leads the league. I mean it's a long shot. I
mean he leaves, but since he's coming to the league,
there's nobody who's who's had more illegal procedures in him.
And I know they win a game, but got to
point this out. At some point time, he's gonna cost

(02:05):
him a game.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
He just is.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
He's gonna jump off sides.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
They're gonna move him back five yards and Kymie Fairbarn's
not gonna bail him out like he's done with what
for six fifty plus yards already in two games.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
The guy's the MVP of the team two weeks in
that offense.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
And you telling me, oh, Mahomes is a great player,
he just throws the ball to the other team, then
you're not a great player. So if you don't have
the discipline to sit your ass in your stance as
good as Tunsil is, save it because it will cost
them a game. Twenty plus penalties in the game between
two teams. It was sloppy, It was ugly. Thank goodness,

(02:42):
our defense salvage Sunday Night football because they share and
Nico Collins is a star man, big and physical. Our
defense is nasty got after it. They were playing against
elementary school offensive line, but they still abused him, and
maybe that's part of the reason that team looked elementary
school on the offensive line, but they stopped the run.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
They got after him. Too many penalties.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
They're gonna have to clean that up because it's it's
and both teams had too many. It was back, you know,
ten for one, eight for another, twelve and ten.

Speaker 6 (03:11):
It was.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Even Tariico and Collinsworth got it was like it's maddening.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Okay, so thank goodness they won.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
You got to learn how to win ugly and you
got to make plays and get it done. And that's
the nature of the beast you, I mean, you've got
to find ways.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
To win when you're not sharp. I didn't think their
offense was sharp at all.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
They made some early on they were making really you know,
big place seventeen here or eighteen there. Some throws by
Stroud when he's putting it on there. He's phenomenal, but
he still wasn't as sharp as we normally see him.
But he's such a good player. He set the bar
so high. Even when he plays decent, we think it's
like it's not him and that's a good thing. And

(03:53):
he still found a way to win. Thank goodness for
defense last night. Enough man, this is enough, is enough.
Been in the league long enough. You're leading on your heels,
back in your stands. I don't coach the position. I
think I have a pretty good idea about it because
I played with guys in the NFL that were better
than him. They didn't jump off sides, and I had
to still block Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White. So I know,

(04:14):
I know the feeling alignment, and I love Tunsel, but
you can't keep tolerting and say, oh, it's okay, it's okay.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
At some point it will cost him. It has in
the past and it will.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
So don't tell me a guy's one of the top
players in the position is but he just jumps off.
Say yeah, Joe Burrow is a great quarterback. Oh, he
just throws it to the other team. Josh Allen is
one of the best of the business, but he leads
the league in red zone interceptions. You're not considered the
best if you can't do everything right. That's why they're
in a rare and elite place because of it. So
for me, yeah, I watching it is maddening, and this

(04:48):
is a win, and they won. They beat a Chicago team.
Chicago's not very good. I mean, they're gonna be better,
though they are because their defense. I'm gonna tell you
what they get after it too. Now that damn right.
Both defenses showed up last night, and quite frankly, in truth,
neither offensive and the kicking game for the Texans, which
Kymie fairbarn is as valuable to this team, as Justin

(05:10):
Tucker is to his He really is the guy. Butker,
but Butker, the guy's phenomenal. And it's like, fifty seven
yard field goals are automatic.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
You know that.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
That's the craziest thing that I saw just yesterday in
the NFL. Butker, Tucker, what's the guy's name for Dallas whatever?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Who kicks him from like seven? Yeah? Who all there
you go, thank you? Triple? He kicks him from like
sixty five. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (05:35):
Like these guys, a fifty yard field goal is nothing
in the NFL anymore.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Do you realize already this year in two weeks, I
think in two weeks we have thirty plus made.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
It's in fifty yarders.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, these guys are these guys the kickoff is a
joke in the if. It's such an embarrassment to real football.
It's a friggin embarrassment watching these guys sit there like
we're watching some spring league football game, a gimmick to
try and get people's attention.

Speaker 7 (05:58):
It looks like embarrassment. It's like like eight year old
pee wee football. Hey, let's make sure we don't hurt
it anybody enough. It is and I've seen enough of that.
So they won a game and it was important. There
is absolutely no doubt it was important and winning and
I've told you this a many times. Find me a
team who knows how to win ugly, I'll show you
a team that will win a lot of football games.
And they're gonna win a lot of games. And they
got help from the Colts were brutal yesterday, the whole division.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
And Malik Willis has no business beating somebody in a
game when he said and he admitted he wasn't ready
in his first start, but they did the Colts. Yeah,
the Tennessee Titans can't close, right, even though they hung
in there against the Jets. And who's the other Oh, Jacksonville,
typical Jet, that's who they are. This is who Jacksonville is.
Tease yet sometimes and then break your heart at others. Yeah,

(06:44):
there's something missing from that organization too. But out and
they made a valuing effort to come back. And the
Texans didn't play great football and still one. And the
Bears two years from now, if they can show up
an offense line with that dus are going to be
pretty good. They've got some good players, but Tunsil enough
pass protection was not good again last night. That's two
weeks in a row it's been eh and Stroud will

(07:07):
bail you out by throwing it away and doing some things.
And Nico Collins is a like I said, that's a
star in the making right there, buddy, he's there, but
you can't keep jumping off sides and defense built him out.
That offensive production last night, Thank goodness for a field
goal kicker. Yeah, but I'm telling you, I know it's
some people say, don't make a big deal. It is
a big deal. When the constant penalty and they're unforced airs,

(07:30):
you're sitting in your stance. I know the guys on
the edge are good, but thirty two teams got to
block them. Thirty two teams gotta block them. It's undisciplined
and it's got to get fixed. And I until I
see him go three or four games without one, don't
tell me he's the best left tack on football, because
he's not. Only because he's not disciplined enough to stop

(07:52):
doing this. Can't do it, man, Sorry, but a win's
a win.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
You'll take it. But it wasn't pretty.

Speaker 7 (07:57):
Lammy Tounsell in twenty twenty two, penalties seven of those
were false starts.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
In twenty twenty three.

Speaker 7 (08:06):
Nine penalties, six of them false starts, and then obviously
he's got four penalties this year in two games, and
four of them there four have been false.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
There's left tackles and right tackles that are not going
to get four false starts the entire year. Yeah, there's
just not. So it's inexcusable. It is. It's called watch
the ball, get your eyes on the ball, watch movement,
and go, well, what if I'm out of my stance late, Oh, well,
you better get better then. And this is coming from
a guy who thinks Tunsl's a hell of a player,
but you just can't keep Ah, it's okay because if

(08:36):
you keep allowing it and are telling them we get
and working on it, then eventually, and you know what,
maybe it's going to cause and maybe it's going to
have to cost them a game. So you go back
and say, you know what, dude, you gotta be better
at this. If that wasn't a Pro Bowl left tackle,
he'd be crucified by the league, by him talking about
by broadcasters, and as a matter of fact, he'd get

(08:57):
to the point where the offensive line coach would say
I might have to sit your ass down. He thinks,
Thank goodness, he's such a good player. You just can't
do it unforcedate. I can handle you grabbing some Michael
Parsons and tackling his ass when he runs by. That
I can deal with, protect your quarterback, save it all that.
What I can't do is You'm just sitting in a
stance at home and you can't and you leaning and

(09:21):
getting on your heels like an elementary school football player.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
It's not the way you do it.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
And yeah, it's easier said and done from where I'm at,
But I watched guys play the same position to gets
the best players.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
In the world, not get one of them the whole season.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
And it showed me something last night on the Chicago
side for Caleb Williams, all the talk about Leasha when
he took that from out as he's out here and
that guy he's gonna he's gonna get fined this week.

Speaker 7 (09:46):
Yeah he's gonna get fined and he should. Roshawn Johnson
was like not doing a damn. He just sat there
and stared at him. Yeah he should, and he's a
I love his act, how energetic he is. I do,
but he was ready to take on the whole team.
And I like his toughness, but he's good to the
NFL is gonna find him for sure. And a half
step more and that's fifteen yards and who knows what
the course of that first down does to get him
in the end zone, right, But I love how their

(10:07):
energy and their aggressiveness on defense. But with that in mind,
and I.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
Saw about thirty dudes, Yeah, sprint the calab with I
told you about quarterbacks, watch how the teammates respond. So
if you had a question, if they believe in him
at least early on, and you grasp that's so important
they do. This team would have fifty guys running for
stroud Is. You watched that last night, and they were
every single one of them was ready to stay over
there and fight for their quarterback. I don't care who

(10:33):
the opponent, who they were. The fact that they did
that tells me something about how they feel about protecting
their quarterback. At least they got the balls enough to
protect their guy instead of sit back and let him
fight his own fight. And in the NFL, you don't
ever fight your own fight. Your team, especially at that position,
people come and rescue you right and.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Are there for you.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
But loved, loved the aggressiveness on defense yesterday. But you
know they're lucky they played the Bears offense because had
you you play Kn'tas City last night. Now, can't say
they would have kept them in the game because defense.
But a game been over about the middle of the
third quarter because your offense wasn't going well. Too many
penalties and you were fortunate you face a team that

(11:13):
really just doesn't have that doesn't have enough offensive right now,
it can't block you and.

Speaker 7 (11:17):
Me, Yeah, they had that game had no business being
nineteen excuse me, nineteen thirteen late in the game with
the Bears an opportunity to go ahead like that, It
just should not have happen.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Now they had the ball with a chance to win
and win it.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
Yeah, yeah, And there was a what a fumble late
late in the game in the red zone at like
the five yard line.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Can't happen.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
They got to kick Now, I'll take the field goals.
At some point you're gonna have to quit kicking them
because you're going to run into somebody who can outscore you.
And then you've got to pre You just absolutely have
to protect the ball in the red zone. You can't. Yeah,
you just can't. You can't allow that to happen or
you kill your own football team.

Speaker 7 (11:52):
You see what the kicker did yesterday for Washington? What
did I'm seven field goal?

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah? Oh you talk?

Speaker 4 (12:00):
I thought you said did something. Yeah, well there's field
goals all over the map?

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Did the field goals for the kicker for Washington when
they beat the Giants?

Speaker 4 (12:06):
And Jade Daniels looked like a player yesterday. He looked
like I mean, he was precise with the football and
dynamic and so around the league, there's some pretty good
stuff going on with some teams, but defenses are always
ahead offenses. And you saw it last night's game. The
defenses were better than both offenses for the most part.

Speaker 7 (12:22):
Austin Cybert for the Commanders, Yeah, seven for seven, twenty
one points and they won twenty one to eighteen over
the Giants because the Giants are not good either.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Love it. There's a lot to get into this morning.

Speaker 7 (12:33):
We're gonna keep on talking about these Texans ugly win,
but they will take it all day. Let's look a
little bit more into that offense that struggled last night.
Where was Tank Dallas Stefon Diggs, so forth and so
on Joe Mix and what's the health status on him
as well? Next on sports Stock seven.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
Surt of Pro Painters sort of with the see each
and every curt of Pro business is individually owned and
operated surtapro dot com for your free estimate, my ideal,
and the folks at sort of Pro feel like family
to me. And I was a customer first, and I'm
proud of that because it also shows me the attention
to detail they put on it.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
They did.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
You know, when they're working, they don't know who's affiliated
with the family. They're just doing their thing. When they
come in there and paint your house and di wires,
I know you love it. But they came into my
home and painted my rooms and it was efficient, done
in one day out and look spectacular. They increase the
value my home with putting a paint brush to the wall.
And while I love to do diy stuff and I'm

(13:27):
sure you do too, when you want to get it
painted right for presentation or just for your presentation to
look at because you want to change the colors in
the fall to your home or your business. Interior exterior.
Sort of Pro is a place to go. They're paint
Happy and it's sort of pro painters sort of with
the Seed, the official painting partner of the Houston Astros.
And to me, that's the way it's supposed to be done,

(13:47):
treating you timely, local, like choose their own home when
they paint your home, and I like that. Come in,
get it done, get out and it looks great. Go
to certipro dot com for your free estimate. It's expensive
to have a home or business, and when you maintain,
you want to maintain it right, So why wouldn't you
protect it with quality painting from sort of pro painters.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
It's sort of pro painters sort of with a see
sort of pro painting is painting Happy. This is Craig Visio.

Speaker 8 (14:14):
You're listening to Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 9 (14:20):
Ft.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
You're home of the Stros.

Speaker 7 (14:22):
Early this morning, offense was not very Crisp Nicocollins with
over one hundred yards receiving once against you. Did you
go to the game last night?

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Sure didn't?

Speaker 1 (14:36):
You did not?

Speaker 2 (14:37):
No, got my reasons, change up pitch.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
I attempted to go the game, let's put it that way, okay,
and ended up staying home okay, watching it home, and
I'm glad I did.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
I like it at home. Yeah it's nice, there isn't it? Yeah? Yeah,
nice watched it. It'll be twenty five more years before
I head to an NFL game.

Speaker 7 (14:57):
Okay, Snice watched the game from the comfort. Much better
to be on TV. I saw sometimes you wonder why
you even attempt to go. Yes, you don't like it
on TV. I like the replays and here in the
broadcasters talk about it. I looked at tickets on Saturday
for the game, yep. And of course you know we
were talking about it with standing Gordy when we passed through,
and they're what they're coming in to get their show started.

(15:20):
I'm a ticket snob, right. I don't sit nosebleeds anymore.
I'd rather just sit my ass at home or go
to a bar with some buddies. I looked at end
zone tickets for that game last night. The cheapest I
could find was like three hundred and fifty bucks for
one ticket plus tickets fees, all that bs that I
thought our president was going to take care of.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
You remember that? Well he didn't, by the way, stand
in line with those promises. Dude.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Yeah, empty anyway, yeah weed digress' digress.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (15:49):
So it was gonna be like almost a thousand dollars
for two tickets. I was like, I'm just gonna watch
it at home. So I wanted to be their home opener,
you know, roof open novel concept by the way, roof open.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Huh hm. Imagine if Minim Park had a retractable.

Speaker 7 (16:02):
Roof be nice? Yeah, it would be nice. But don't
they they do? Oh yeah they do. Yeah, maybe they
should miss some panels so they can. It would have
been blasphemous to shut the shut.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
The the ceiling last night. What do we call it,
the self the roof ceiling whatever, if it's a glass ceiling,
it's right.

Speaker 7 (16:18):
Nice it would I I just it's like I just
saw the ticket prices, like, yeah, I'm not I'm not
going this outrage.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Would you pay a thousand bucks to go to a
super Bowl?

Speaker 5 (16:27):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (16:27):
Yeah, I've never been. I've never been to the super Bowl, right,
so let me go at least once. Actually, I just
want to go as a medium member. We talked about
this before. Yeah, I just want to go once. Yeah
that's awesome, but yeah, I was not gonna have time.
I've been there you're right, But ticket snobs, Okay, there's
certain things that like have you become. I don't fly
much anymore, not because I'm afraid, just because dogs. I

(16:48):
like to drive anyway. I'm a root sixty six guy.
That is the way I call it.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
I was like, get in my rig and driving and
I'm being and the itinerary is part.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Of the drive. I mean, the drive is part of
the itinerary. I like that.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
But airline stop too A are you middle seat? Begsure
you get to seat you want? Guy, I don't that
sounds so bad. I don't fly first class, but I
fly the one right behind it. Whatever you the bulkhead
behind first class? Yeah, and uh, it's always a window seat.
Got to have extra leg room. I'm a tall guy.
I'm a bigger guy and lean over against there so
you cant shoulder to shoulder. I don't sit in middle

(17:22):
I know. But tickets I get it, and I I
just I mean, even when I have good tickets. Last
night was sweet, and the rest of it. I just
I am a I I like watching it on TV.
Let's just put the college football the pomp and circumstance.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
I just it's weird. But I I'm I'm okay.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
Like I said, if the Texans went to the Super Bowl,
guess where I'd watch the game. We'd go and we'd
do radio row and do it all. Guess what I'd
where I watch the game.

Speaker 7 (17:50):
I'm either at home or at a bar if we
were there, No, it would be you know, it'd probably
be or in the hotel room. That's where I'd watch it,
just so you could, because you you got to break
down every single thing if you don't want to miss that.
And I just sometimes it's a distraction being it today
because you're to everybody else.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
And I don't mean that. I love that people go.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
They let them go all this chair on TV and
then you get to see the insight and why people
are doing that and listen to the broadcasters explanation on stuff. Right,
So I uh, but you know what, for those of
those that love to go, God bless.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Him that I'll my seat at home is just fine.

Speaker 7 (18:26):
You know, there's a lot of talk about analysts these days,
right because Tom Brady's now in the booth. What's Greg
Olsen doing? Tony Romo And and by the way, we
mentioned this in one of our meetings last week, talking
about Tom Brady in his first week, Tony Romo. I
listened to him yesterday in that game. Who they was
the chiefs in Bengals. He must be like they must

(18:46):
have had a talk with him or something, because he
was a lot better. And then I was been better
the last two weeks. Yeah, they had to come to
somebody had to kind of come to Jesus with him.
I'll tell you what happens when Aikman's been there, Greg Olsen,
who's now, And I'll tell you what it'll do, because
I got news for you. The last few years, Greg
Olsen's been twenty times better than Romo, and quite frankly

(19:08):
say Aikman's really good.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Those two.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
And that's where it starts. Yeah, when you talk about football,
NFL guys and Herbstreet does a nice job on Thursday
Night without micros, some people may not get to see
as much of that as they nor because of where
you got to find it. But I'm just telling you,
and whenever there's a a guy like Greg Ols, because
if you're a CBS, wouldn't your eyes go to him?
If Tony Romo was just mailing it in and no offense,

(19:31):
he has mailed it in the last couple of years. Yeah,
he's lost the enthusiasm and you know, asking Jean for
to get involved and Jim Manton. It's almost like he's like,
I played again, I've already done my gig. I can
just show because I know football well, you don't game
plans change and the rest of it. Love Tony's energy.
I'm telling you, I swear to you there's a different
tone and tenor to his voice broadcasting games. Whether it's

(19:53):
Brady came on the scene, you're no longer the it item,
whether it's Greg Olsen is a number two and every
other network would consider putting him as a number one.
But you got your investment in Brady, who will eventually
be really good. And I thought Tom was even was
solid yesterday in a game there was the Cowboys decided
just to stay in the hotel room.

Speaker 10 (20:14):
I mean, I.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Couldn't be the Saints of average over.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Forty points a game for two games, Yeah, which I
guarant asked you didn't think that was happening.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Neither did I either.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
But the way Romo is called the games, it looks
as if he's had to sit down and saying, you
know what, let me get back to what made me
a fifteen million dollars a year guy? Or what twelve
fifteen whatever he's making And it looks like he's like
he was you know what it feels like again, like
he was an undrafted quarterback who didn't know week to
week if he was getting cut when he first started

(20:43):
out and then eventually getting the job made a good player.
So sometimes you need a little realized how good you
got it to call one game a week and prepare
for one game a week for twelve to fifteen million dollars.
I would not take that for granted. There's a lot
of them that would do it for you. Call me
a I'll give you three games for free before I
ask for five million a year or what.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
You get my point?

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Yeah, so he I think competition can elevate, and I would.
I'm sure if he if he's gone back and listened
and compared to four years ago to two years ago,
I'm sure he saw he hurt himself. That's not who
I am. So good on him. It's good. Whatever it takes,
takes a kick in the ass. So and a broadcaster
is important. I know we don't go to listen to
the broadcast.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
I do. I do because I do, because I think
the good ones are would be a.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
Said, I don't go to watching Okay, turn it down,
turn the sound down with no radio one either, cause
you're if you turn a radio on while that's on,
you're still listening to a broadcast. And just turn it
down and go silent and then tell me if you
enjoyed the game as much. No, you just won't the XH.
Let me hear what they're saying. Well, you may not
like the broadcaster, but that's why they're there to enhance
the game, not to be the game, and not to

(21:49):
take away from the game, but to enhance it. And
we've got some good ones. But it sounded you're exactly right,
like he's been a little kick in the rear. And
then sometimes those come to Jesus meaning moments by this EBS,
the big bosses will make you realize just how good
you got it.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (22:04):
I think Chris Collinsworth does a nice job as well,
like listening to some of the things of him breakdown,
like what Caleb Williams was looking at defensively, and then
I think they did a nice little breakdown of last
week how long he held onto the football over four seconds.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
At sometimes you can't do that on a good offensive line.

Speaker 7 (22:19):
Yeah, And he was talking about the basically the standard
of the NFL is two and a half seconds.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Two point five is the is you should be in
the Pro Bowl.

Speaker 10 (22:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (22:28):
He described it as par if you can get under par,
and what do you want to do in golf? You
want to be under par? And then Draco Jerico stopped
and asked him again. He was like, let's go back
to this, and I was like, Okay, this is this
is what I want to listen.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
To tell people all time.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
That's right, and you get insight and whether you like
I like Collinsworth because he's got some brash opinion and
you know he gets a lot of insight with that
because he owns PFF.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
You know that. I did not know that Football Focuses.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Oh yeah, he's he's one of the He's that's why
NBC uses PFF's stat line.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
He collins wasth the boss. I didn't know that. Oh yeah, yeah,
so he's.

Speaker 7 (23:01):
That what Florio is involved in that their Sunday Night
countdown or whatever.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
Yeah, and all through NBC foorios with PFF as well. Right, Yeah,
And Collinsworth's big, big part of Star. Oh yeah, and
so but he gets some great insight man, And you know,
people don't like It's like when Johnny Miller. You know,
Johnny Miller wasn't afraid, so you choked. Oh yeah, you
choked on a three footer with a bird. You wouldn't
you wouldn't miss that a thousand times in a row
in practice, you choked on it.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
Players don't like to hear it, but it's fact. Collins
Worth there's a reason why he hasn't been replaced.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
For a while. Right, he's good at his job. Yeah,
there's no talk of it either.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
No, there's he's good. Well, they they were going to
replace him with Drew Brees. They well, I mean eventually
bree Remember when they moved him into NBC. When he
came in, it was gonna be Collinsworth, but they were
gonna Breeze was the air apparent, is my point. And
you realize real quick he couldn't hold Collinsworth's jock in
the booth. He was terrible. Yeah, he was not good,
and hence he's not doing it. Yeah, and and and

(23:52):
that's okay. Some guys are better at other things. And
NBC made the right move to keep collinsworth right where
he is? A question about it?

Speaker 7 (23:58):
Seven one, three, two, five ninety is the never to
join talking about the Texans win last night, the offense struggle.
Let's talk about it next Sports Stock seven to eighty.

Speaker 11 (24:07):
We're there.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
The Shawn Salisbury Show continued.

Speaker 7 (24:13):
Cam Akers ran the football seven times, Joe Mixon nine times.
They ran the football twenty two. They couldn't really get
much going on the ground. Nico Collins is unbelievable. Eight receptions,
one hundred and thirty five yards and a touchdown. Tank
Dell really not involved in the offense at all. He
had one reception for minus three yards on four targets.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, and you know it's a tribute to Straut.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
The guy goes twenty three at thirty six and throws
for two to sixty and we considered a very average
game for him, three sacks.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
But he was pressured more.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
He had to scramble out and throw the ball away
and make some plays on the run. Listen and well,
Tank Dell had a chance to for a huge home
run on the scramble right the drop shot.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
I don't know what he was Did he jump too early? Yeah,
it looked like he lost in the lights.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Look like you took an offensive lineman, not size as
an offensive I said, go play receivers, like you know
where you put your hands together the ball.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
You missed the ball completely.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
I'm like, after I'm the live playth thought that ball
hit him right in the hands. Yeah, and then you
go back and show twice like it was almost like
the glare of lights or something got around. He was
reaching and grand and was just reaching hopefully grabbing it
out of the sky because if he catches it and stride,
he's gone.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
He is gone.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
So it's been relatively non existent for him offensively, and
Diggs was not a big factor in the game last night.

Speaker 7 (25:34):
Diggs sean he had four receptions thirty seven yards on
six targets.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
Yeah, but I can tell you what I do love
is what we've said this with their band with mixing,
because the you know, banged up and they didn't get going. Okay,
cam Akers comes in and you know they lay the
ball on the ground in the red zone, but you
know a little bit of depth they didn't get. I
guarantee they didn't get the attempts they wanted to. With
twenty some carries is not enough.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah, twenty two.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
And then but if Diggs, who catches two touchdowns last week,
doesn't catch one this week, all of a sudden, Nico
Collins another one hundred yard game. And then you get
defense stepping up and getting you, you know, sacks and
pressures on and getting a couple you know, turnovers on
interceptions and catching and finishing. I mean you start to
look at it's somebody It's okay if it's somebody else.

(26:21):
And we've said one week, step on Diggs, then the
next week will be Nico Collins. Then you're gonna have
Tank Dell have a big game, and he will at
some point Joe Mixon last week. When you've got that
kind of star power and the ability to stretch defenses,
it puts them in a major bind. And I don't
need the same guy to be a hero every week.
As long as number seven is protecting the ball and

(26:41):
they more discipline, penalty wise on both sides of the ball,
and that defense plays like that, you'll be in every
game now against a good team. Last night, it might
have been a different result because of the penalties. Too
many field goals you run into Mahomes and Burrow and hell,
the way New Orleans is playing right now. Off, you
probably don't. In Arizona beat the dog crap out of

(27:03):
the Rams yesterday too, so it was odd. And Carolina's Carolina.
Carolina can't win on Saturday right now. There were Ravens
lost at home and they're o and too. Yeah, Bengals,
obviously there's no way, there's no way. And I'm a Raider,
lifelong Raider fan. No way, Raiders are rolling into Baltimore
and beat me after you got beat the week before.

(27:24):
Who oh and two Ravens oh and two Bengals had it,
had it anyway, and they're a little bit under manned
with some little banged up and I'll be damned if
they I mean they got it. And Burrow it's like
he's got a stronghold over Mahomes and they just couldn't
close it out. So you look around the league in
this division, Man, Tennessee, I know they fight, but you

(27:46):
know there's no moral victories. The cult the cults are
off and Jacksonville's I think Jacksonville sucks right now.

Speaker 7 (27:52):
Did did you watch any did you catch any of
the Titans game yesterday?

Speaker 6 (27:56):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (27:56):
I watched Did you watched them almost all of it.

Speaker 7 (27:58):
Will Levis make some of the dumbest decisions. I think
I've ever seen that.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Trust trust his arm too much? Man, what in the
oh my god.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
I was doing our pregame show with JB and and
UH and Jeff theay do you know gambling show we
do an hour and a half before Sunday games, and
we were talking about he said, I need Levis to
just start smoking weeds and maybe take a gummy water. Right,
get this guy a chill. Yeah, Man, settle because he's

(28:29):
so he's a dynamic player. The problem is at that position,
I need you to look a little more bored for me,
and I'm I'm being the great ones in the Pocket's
just kind of a little bit bored.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
And then active when you need to be.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
But he's he says, dude, dude, it's gonna be to
settle your hash down for a second. And you look
at Stroud. When do you see him blow a gasket?

Speaker 2 (28:48):
He don't.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
I'm talking about even if it's an energetic I mean,
celebrate a little bit, right back to the plan and
doing your things. So energy is great, Will Levist needs
a tone of down. Jacksonville. Jacksonville is just you know
sometimes I wonder with the heartbeat, it's just there. They're talking.
Now now they play boring and it ain't just a quarter.
I mean it's like, are you where's the energy level?

(29:08):
And get to the next level that we keep saying
every year. So the Texans pull out a win, but
they were not sharp offensively. SAMs Nico Collins who was
off the charts and is turning into a star, and
he is the number one receiver on those team, but
can't penalize and Laramie Tunsel, get your ass to do
what we tell hey, hold your water. They say that

(29:29):
hold your water, I mean sit there when the ball moves,
you move. You're too good a player to allow that
to sneak in. And that's why you can't call him
the best left tie. The guy in San Francisco is
a tad better. Can't do it though, he's got to
get better at it. But they pulled off and win.
The defense was off the charts, and I'm telling you
will Anderson, he's gonna get to the point where one
guy can't block him.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, because he's at his way.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
You saw he's getting a few extra moves in his game,
and he's got such urgency off the ball, scares left
tackles and earned right tackles. He move them around and
then the problem is, oh that other guy then he
Hunter playing in your backfield the whole time. What an
advantage is gonna it's gonna be as the season rolls along.

Speaker 7 (30:05):
Yeah, those those two, especially daneil Hunter and uh Will
Anderson Junior, they got a lot of energy.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
If you're if you're if you got a lack of energy.
Toto is an active player too. Run well yeah, yeah,
he's a backup.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
They don't even have the guy that a lot of
Christian Harrison a lot of people think got star qualities
in this league. Toto is like, I'm gonna make sure
you know what kind of player are and he's all
over the place.

Speaker 7 (30:28):
Yeah, they got a lot of energy on that defense.
If they struggle with their energy, where do you think
they should go?

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Well, if if it was me, I would go to
men's tea clinic, and like you you would too, especially
if it's one of those chronic energy things. What the
hell is going on with me? Well, fellas and all
you dudes out there, I don't care what your age is.
If you're going through it, Hey, instead of worrying what's
going on, let's first check the testosterone. Go to Men's
Tea Clinic, five convenient locations ten years. Men's Tea has

(30:55):
been doing this here and in Dallas Fort Worth to
change lives, enhanced lives, make it better. Or whether it's
the sexual awareness in the bedroom where you you know
it's sexual wellness with the great optimization team at Men's
TA Clinic, or whether it's full body wellness. So it's
amazing what a little bit of shift or normalizing your
testosterone can do and balancing it out and then you

(31:17):
kick into high gear. Talk about eight hundred horsepower. Go
to Men's T Clinic, draw a little blood by the
end of the meat. By the end of that appearance,
whether you make to them the first one or by
the end of the day, you're going to have the
results for where your testosterone is. And then we get
to work on it. And so if you're stuck in
lower gear, you're struggling, you say, man, I can't get
out of this funk. Get your butt to Men's T Clinic.

(31:39):
You invest in a lot of other things, what you're
having for lunch, what the plans are over the weekend.
Invest in yourself. It'll be the most important investment you've
ever made. And Men's T Clinic can help. It's MEN'ST
Clinic dot Com, MEN'ST Clinic dot com. Get out a
lower gear and first things first, don't you want to
know why you don't have energy? Full body wellness? Go

(32:00):
get it done. Men's T Clinic dot com, Men's T
Clinic dot com or ninety seven to two go Men's Tea.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
For the Shawn Salisbury show continues.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
And you know no now you.

Speaker 7 (32:13):
Know, get out to the phone lines. Jason, welcome in tripley.
Can you click him in for me?

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Real quick? Please, Jason, give him sack. There we go, Jason,
what's going on?

Speaker 12 (32:25):
Good morning, Bella. Is how y'all doing?

Speaker 2 (32:27):
We're terrible, but we're here. What's happening?

Speaker 9 (32:29):
You know?

Speaker 12 (32:30):
I'm a Saint span and I made that trip to
Dallas and h wasn't expecting that to happen. Was fun
to watch, so I gotta admit never been to Jerry's
World to watch football games, so that was an experience.
But the fact that Dennis Allen has a better record
than Sean Payton kinda kind of blows my mind. But

(32:55):
I got home in time to watch the Texans last night,
and I'm watching, and you know, the defense play a
hell of a game, and I'm watching the rookie quarterback
from Chicago, Caleb Williams, kind of make those rookie mistakes
and everything else. But you know, the thing that really
bothers me about last night is it's not the way

(33:18):
they're playing. It's the fact that, you know, you got
to capitalize on some of them turnovers and cam akers,
you know, making the costly fumble, you know, which really
didn't affect the game, you know, because the Texans still won.
But that to me is, you know something I think
they got to clean up. But the thing about yesterday,

(33:42):
you know, we had a lot of games and I'm
constantly watching the Chiefs or listening to the Chiefs get
bailed out by teams more than Wall Street. It's like
these teams that go in there with a plan, you know,
to beat the chief And Patrick Mahomes, I'm not taking

(34:02):
nothing away from him. He's he's like the top quarterback
you know up there, you know.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
And c J.

Speaker 12 (34:08):
Stroud hopefully which well not hopefully, I know he's gonna
be as good as Patrick Mahomes he already is. But
you know, you can't call a time out and allow
them to draw up a play and allow them to
get into field goal range. I think if they wouldn't
have called that time out, I think the Cincinnati Bengals

(34:29):
probably would have.

Speaker 10 (34:30):
Won that game.

Speaker 12 (34:31):
But outside of that, man, it was a great weekend
in football and enjoying listening to all talking sports and
this morning.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Thank you'll very much appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Jason, Well, yeah, Stroud's on his way, Jason, and I
probably when he said he's already as good, let's not
go overboard.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Guy's got Super Bowl rings.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
There's there's still a gap between Mahomes and and everybody.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Else in Mahomes and and c J. Stroud. The the
hope is that CJ.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
Stroud, if he has, if there's many years into uh
mahomes career, Stroud's playing like him. Then Yeah, right now
that we see he's the best young quarterback in the league,
there's no doubt. And I know what you mean. You're
putting him in a category that's rarefied, and that's fair.
He's just not Mahomes yet. As far as things that
happen in a game, part of the reason the Kansasity

(35:18):
Chiefs always have their opportunities. They create him, they do,
they just and Mahomes, dude, he had less than two
hundred yards. Was one of his worst passing yardage totals
that he's ever had. They found a way to win.
Their defense is real and Burrow seems to have mahomes number,
as we said, but they found a way to keep

(35:38):
it and have an opportunity. Most teams just don't have that.
And let's face facts. You the best coach in the NFL,
the best coach in the NFL. Now, it helps you
have Mahomes, but that's the object, is to get good
to Bikle, Ryan's is going to be a better coach
because of c. J.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Stroud. Simple.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
That guy makes everybody better, just like the great ones do.
But when you got two of them coaching quarterback, you
win for a long time. So Andy Reid and what
they their expectations are and the Chiefs continue to live
up to it. They're still the best team in the
league and they're proven it every week, standard and every year. Yeah,

(36:16):
so long way Togo. You want to you want to
learn how to overcome and get better every week? Watch them,
Watch how they practice, Watch how they go about their business.
The Chiefs are who everybody want to be simple, they
just are. And and if you can be a third
or a half of what they meaning winning super bowls
once in a while, getting there a lot, and then
then you got to you got to whipped. But it

(36:37):
is not it's not an easy task. And when you
got the best coach and the best quarterback on the planet,
asked New England how that went for them for so
many years? You win and you have a chance every
frigging week.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Seven seven, Hinty Steve, welcome in. Hey guys, good morning.

Speaker 10 (36:56):
Hey.

Speaker 13 (36:57):
I just want to say this, and I don't know
if you guys already hit on it, but you know,
there's one guy out there that I've already heard his
name way too much, and that's Larry My Tunzel. I mean,
I can't understand why this guy is a veteran and
supposedly one of the top ten offensive linemen in the
league and he continually is jumping off sides and and

(37:19):
costing this team. Now he's going to eventually cost his
team a game with some of the stupid crap that
he does. But it's it's it's ridiculous. And Sean, I
wanted to ask you a question. Do you think that
last night's game plan might have fed into a lot
of the reason that the offense was a little stale.
It looked like to me the Chicago defense if when

(37:44):
that offense catches up with that defense, they're going to
be a stout team. Yep, because that defense is extremely
well coached, good players, good rush. But it just seems
like the game plan just kind of fed into what
Chicago was doing. You know, there wasn't any movement well
with the pocket trying to get you know, some variations

(38:05):
of just getting away from the rush.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
And guys, great show, hang up with.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
Listen, Thanks Stevie, and I hit it right off the
top of this show at six o'clock the Laramie, you
can't call a guy the top three tackle or top
five tackle in the league and be like calling a quarterback, Hey,
he's the one, he's one of the five best. He
just throws the ball to the other team too much,
and you can't do it. And Laramie, Tunssel as good
as he is, and I love the guy, but let's
call it like we see it. It's inexcusable to do
what he does all the time, not to get a

(38:31):
holding call because Michael Parsons you got to block him
or a great player to jump off sides without looking
at the ball. It's it's not only a rookie mistake,
it's a fourth grade mistake. You've got to get better.
And until he does. Says they need to save me
that he's the best left tackle in football. Not you
Steve just and he got great feet, great hands, but
you can't be that undisciplined pre snap stuff.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
You just can't.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
And it is going to cost him a game, almost
cost him a field goal if Fairbarn doesn't bail him
out with another ninety yarder. Okay, as far as the Texans,
it almost felt to me like the Texans were playing
fairly close to the best. Why because they knew their
defense was gonna kick the ass and the Chicago Bears
you didn't need to do anything spectaclic. Now, you don't
go into a game thinking that you want to be
aggressive and go. But it felt like it was just

(39:16):
a little on the we post twenty one, the game's
over right to first one to twenty one wins, and
they were in one. Now they were in one and
that defensive Bears is really good. Their offense has got
a long way to go, but Caleb Williams has flashes
of it. You can just tell he's not polished yet
on the NFL level, but he can throw it, make plays.
He gets a little careless because he's trying to be
a hero and offensively on that team. Unfortunately, you got

(39:38):
to be a hero or you're not gonna you don't
have a chance. But that defense can play. Both defenses
showed up last night. The Texans defenses, in my opinion,
this keeps up, they're a top five defense in this
league if they keep If they keep doing this, they
are nasty. Thank goodness, because aside from Nico Collins in
a decent game from Stroud, their offense was I thought

(39:59):
average best last night.

Speaker 7 (40:01):
Yeah, Yeah, there were some throws. It was an ugly
It was a It was a brutally ugly game. You
can't copt ten washing a twenty plus penalty games not fun.
The third quarter took like two hours, and there's so
many dam pendrilly it's enough and you can't keep jumping
off side. Stop it, yeah, freaking stop it. Yeah, there
were some throws that CJ Stroud missed as well. It
was just kind of and then he makes some throws.
You like, how's that ball get to this guy? Ye,

(40:22):
he's a phenomenal player. Yeah, and they won with him
not playing his best. We'll keep on talking Texans and
this win. We'll get back out to your phone call

Texans have two pass rushers. You know what one guy

(42:55):
is gonna be coming. You gotta see that guy. I mean,
our defense is is pretty good, and I think once
the Texans running back got hurt, it showed that the
Texans game plan was kind of one dimension. We're gonna
run the ball and run the ball and run the
ball and throw when we have to, and when the
running back was gone thirty years after he.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
Got hurt the entire game.

Speaker 5 (43:18):
So you know, our defense is pretty hard to throw against.

Speaker 11 (43:20):
We got two pretty good corners out of there and
a decent secondary. I think the Texans caught break last night.
It may not been a game changer where the Bears
would have won, but it would have made a difference.
If number zero gets kicked out for the punch that
he throws on the sideline, they don't throw a flag
for with nine officials out there, which I don't know
how they miss. The Bears can get a first down

(43:42):
and they're inside the Texans territory. Anything could happen there.
Then you may have a game changer right there. But
the Bears will be okay once Caleb figures out he
can't hold the ball. They got to put in a
better position to play. But the Texans, they've got to
find the second running back in case that guy goes
down like he did last night. I know the other
guy didn't play, but it looked like the Texans were

(44:03):
playing to not lose, and that's hard to play on
Sundays to not lose. No doubt, Keith, it was anly
game last night. I will agree with you. But both
defenses played.

Speaker 4 (44:14):
Both defenses were great. Yeah, both defenses were awfully pretty
last night. It just said we always we seemed to
judge games by offense. Q. Thanks for the call. Great
hearing from you, brother, I it is Have you ever
noticed when it's a defensive game, it's ugly. When it's
an offensive game. O, man, what a great game to watch,
right and defensive coordinators said, they're saying, you don't the

(44:34):
defense to Miko rans is right now thinking I can't
wait to watch this tape how we beat him up now.
And Caleb does hold the ball too long, and he
also needs to understand, but they need to understand that
quick penetration for a guy. Young players are always going
to rely on their strength, and their strength is to
go buy time. And with his feet knows that he

(44:54):
can lean on that. But you saw and he said
it and and told Chris Collins with this, I I
don't want to be that guy. I don't like doing that.
I want to be a guy from the pocket. And
you know he's got a powerful arm. When he was
going right and threw back, he dropped it in the
buck but the defensive guy caught it and then they
I think they ended up calling uh because because it

(45:15):
was holding on somebody else or passing affairs somewhere else.
But I mean to go that way and following and
throw to the far sideline and drop it in the
bucket down the left sideline.

Speaker 7 (45:23):
There was a ball that he threw he was on
the left hash and he threw it all the way
to the right sideline, right on the money. Dude, toe
tap drug got it in. I was like, oh, he's
got a powerful arm, make no mistake.

Speaker 4 (45:35):
He the feed over it outrank all the other stuff
he does because he's a pretty playmaker. Yeah, he can
rip it. But that that defense is Both defenses last
night played great football. They just did penalties and a
young quarterback and we're just fortunate to have a quarterback
here who usually protects the ball for the most part
and is really really good. And they looked and he's

(45:57):
exactly right when I said they played like our defense
will keep just get to twenty one. It was not
as aggressive as we've normally seen them.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
Yeah, it was. It was more so I think you
hit it earlier in the six o'clock hour.

Speaker 7 (46:09):
It felt like at times they knew their defense was
that I hate I'm not going to sound cliche. I'm
gonna go ahead and sound cliche cliche here. They knew
their defense was eating so it was like, maybe let's
not be as aggressive.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
They're gonna bail them.

Speaker 7 (46:23):
And then also give a little bit of credits to
the Bears defense because they played their.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
Assof this night. There's no question.

Speaker 4 (46:29):
And you've got a one of the great weapons in
this NFL right now is the kicker. Yeah, fair Baron
is off the charts. As we talked about an thank
goodness for last night. But you don't see it's weird
because you don't you want to come away with points. Hell,
his points. Once you hit the fifties, once you're inside
of sixty, it's it's a stone cold lock.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
It's not.

Speaker 4 (46:48):
But you love those points in that weapon. But as
a quarterback or an offensive coach or in offensive staff,
you do not want to kick field goals. No, you
just don't got to score when you're in the rest.
We played the right team last night to kick field
goals because their defense is good. Their offense just hasn't
caught up. Yeah, Tommy, good morning, Good.

Speaker 5 (47:08):
Morning, Brian.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Go to be with the guys.

Speaker 16 (47:11):
Great win last night.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
I'll tell you something.

Speaker 16 (47:14):
That defense came out in the second half and all
of these success if he did have success a little
bit Caleb in the first half, everything that he tried
to do in the second half, they just took it
away from him. I mean that defense is like a
bunch of rabbit dogs. It's scary to me how much
better they could get. And I'll just give props to Denigos.
You know, he's just doing something and I can feel

(47:37):
it coming. As far as the offense, I'm not going
to worry about it. I think they'll put it together.
And Nico Collins the guy makes place guys. I hate
to use that cliche, but I'll use it and stay
to you. He can make plays. I loved when they
showed Andre Johnson busting guys at the goal line and
then they showed Nicos throwing someone on that such a

(48:00):
pass off the shoulders, the parallel there. You see that
team's got to take notice, and I think they're going
to be good. I got a question about Laramie counsel
and I'll ask it and I'll hung up and listen. Sean,
how do you fix this?

Speaker 4 (48:16):
Gal?

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Can they fix it?

Speaker 16 (48:19):
And I'm going to ask the question. That might be
my ignorance showing, but maybe it's something in the cadence
of the quarterback, his voice, or something that they could
do to help them, because you're right, it's going to
cost us the game super relat and is it fixable?
Thanks to letting me in, guys, I'll just listen to

(48:40):
what you have to say to it.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Good to be with you.

Speaker 4 (48:44):
One thing is pre snap penalty. They're maddening to me.
Those are controllable. I'll even give you, and it was
even maddening to me and bears. I get when the
crowd's loud, but if you're having trouble, you simply watch
the football.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Yeah to the corner.

Speaker 4 (49:02):
You you got your guy, But you see movement, you
gotta go on movement if you're on the road doing
it at home, it's inexcusable and no fixable. Tunsl has
been in the league since what six twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
Is he an eight year venteran.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
Now something like that? It feels like it because I
think it's since twenty sixteen. It hain't been fixed yet.
Tom the guy's been doing He leads the NFL over
the last what eight years of illegal false star.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Penalty he got in the league in twenty sixteen.

Speaker 4 (49:29):
Yeah, since twenty sixteen, there's nobody who's done it more.
I can't tell my quarterbacks to cater to Laramie Tunzel
when four other dudes aren't doing it as good as
he is. I know we want us Oh, he's our star.
We can let No, you can't. You can't because he's
a great player and I love Laramie Tunseel, but it's maddening.
Pre snap penalties are inexcusable. I don't care if Taylor,

(49:52):
Reggie White and Michael Parsons are lined up on the left.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
They can't go till the balls off either. You just
can't do it.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
So I don't know it's fixable because in eight years
it hasn't been fixed. And that's a lot of different voices.
So and I sure as hell I'm not changing my
cadence as a quarterback to appease one dude who just
can't get is a sit in his stance. I'm just
not doing it, which would screw that up and then
the collateral damage. No, it ain't that hard. It's a

(50:20):
hard position to play, and I don't want to play it,
and he's great at it. But you put your team
in a bind by doing it, and it will cost
them a game.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
It just will. You can't do two a game as too.

Speaker 4 (50:32):
Four You shouldn't have four legal procedure penalties, fall start penalties.
And one guy in a year and he's been more
than anybody since twenty sixteen, and it feels like I
can just chalk it up the two times minimum a
game that's going to happen. So now my quarterback's not
changing his voice inflection, and a lot of times you
go on a clap or on a silent count movement,

(50:54):
you just can't do it. Once in a while you
get I know, you're focused on the thing and your
own quick count gets you in trouble. But for the
most part you have to sit in there and do
I mean, this is elementary school stuff blocking. Somebody isn't,
but you got to. And there's no way in hell.
I don't know if it's fixable. I guess after eight

(51:15):
years we probably say it's a trend and you're just
gonna have to live with it. It will cost him
a game, it just will. And that guy is a
friggin great player. Love him, but I can't. It's the
pre snap penalties are out of hand, and I'm there's
no way in hell I'm going to any quarterbacks say hey,
don't be so loud. I'm not saying you're saying this time,
I ain't have my quarterback adjust any damn cadence for one, dude,

(51:37):
If if his cadence wasn't loud enough, or if he
was didn't know what he was doing the quarterback.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Okay, we'll adjust that.

Speaker 4 (51:43):
No, no, no, no, It is your job to fix
that as the left tackle, not the coach's job, not
the offensive coordinator's job, not CJ. Stroud's job. It's tough
to block those guys. It makes it tougher on second
and fifteen that it does on second and five. So
when you jump off sides and go first and fifteen
and then the next one's incomplete. Now second fifteen, how

(52:05):
much tougher now is it to block Michael Parsons are
the best rusher, because now you're screwed because those guys
gonna Oh now I know they're passing t off. So
it's only going to help you more by not putting
yourself in that mind. That's the biggest weakness on the
team right now. I know that sounds crazy. It is
the inability to get off the ball in the right

(52:28):
time and not pre snap penalties, and twenty plus of
them in a game by both teams makes it almost unwatchable.
That's a Laramie Tunsil thing, and nobody else. I mean,
what are we going to ask the left guard to
grab him by the back of the tricep and hold
him until the ball snapped.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
You just can't do it. You can't do it.

Speaker 4 (52:48):
Pre snap penalties are controllable. That's like if you ever
see a wide receiver jump off sides his act, go
sit and grab some gatorade for two series.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
You can't do it.

Speaker 4 (52:57):
And it's almost now that the wide receiver doesn't have
to lock the greatest pass rusher on the planet each week,
but it doesn't matter. You are putting yourself and your
team in a bind by doing it. It will cost
them a game because they're not going undefeated. I'm telling you,
penalties will cost them before the seas off, They're gonna
lose a game. And that's going to be a reason
one of the reasons why almost got their ass last night.

Speaker 7 (53:17):

Speaker 2 (56:02):
Will was that the game last night?

Speaker 6 (56:04):
Will?

Speaker 2 (56:04):
I was in RG Stadium last.

Speaker 17 (56:05):
Night, Howdy fellas.

Speaker 2 (56:09):
I'll tell you what man, I mean.

Speaker 17 (56:10):
There was a lot of people tailgating awful early, and
I think a few people didn't make it to the game,
which to me made it that much more impressive. How
noisy it got in that place, because you know the
false starts and all that, All that was crowd noise.
Caleb had I think two penalties for delay a game
because the clock ran out. I mean the crowd did
its part.

Speaker 4 (56:30):
They had a delay a game penalty coming out of
a timeout, which is freaking inexcusable to meaning the Bears.
But it's not okay as the home team to be
having all these illegal procedure penalties. Crowd noise are not
and crowd's got to be smart when you got the ball,
ton when your offense on the field, tone the noise
down till post snap, cheer when the balls in.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
The air and that.

Speaker 17 (56:49):
Yeah, that was probably a little of that.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
Yeah, but you can't.

Speaker 4 (56:54):
That's inexcusable for Tunsel to keep doing this. I mean,
I've tried to give them a hall pass at times
since two thousand sixteen. Nobody's done it more. He's gonna
cost his self a tee. As good as he is,
I don't care if he's a star or not.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
You can't. You can't. You just can't keep doing that.
He's got to be better at that.

Speaker 5 (57:09):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 17 (57:10):
Tuncil just needs to get, you know, a little more
practice in and uh in a preseason.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
I think that might make up for that.

Speaker 17 (57:16):
But when you sit out the preseason, yeah, you're a
little slow to get.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
Back into the team of things. I think understandable.

Speaker 9 (57:23):
What else?

Speaker 5 (57:24):
Okay, this is uh.

Speaker 17 (57:25):
I'll tell you what, man, I didn't sit in my
usual seats. My brother got the good seeds in the
end zone, and I was up high when the Texans
are in in that jumbo formation with Brevin and Sober,
and I believe they had Schultz on the field at
one point and they threw that out to Sober. They
got that first down.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
Yeah, man, hang down.

Speaker 17 (57:42):
And I love Stefan Diggs, but when they run those two,
that jumbo package there, their defense can't stop any of
those guys. I mean, if someone's gonna be open every time,
not to mention, when CJ breaks out of the pocket,
I think he probably went four for five when he
didn't throw it away going out of the pocket. They
got to get him out of the pocket. Get it
legs going because he can make those throws. And when

(58:02):
those plays things they break down. No, those guys are
still moving.

Speaker 4 (58:06):
He's underrated with his feet. He really is, highly because
he's such a good pocket guy. And I'll tell you
what one was dropped. The one he scrambled was right
and dropped in tank dell. I mean that hit him
right in the hands. He should have scored. That's a
catch and run for a touch on tank. Dell's now
used to catching that over the shoulder, I mean the
shoulder that was in stride, hit him in the hands

(58:26):
on his front, eye was.

Speaker 5 (58:30):
On his back.

Speaker 9 (58:33):
He made that.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
No, he did that. That ball was that ball couldn't
have been thrown any better. On the run.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
A little drop shot into the window, threw him open ball,
hit him in two hands. It was almost like, I mean,
Dell's an awesome player. That was a touchdown. The ball
that that that's not a cat's a touchdown.

Speaker 17 (58:48):
I'll tell you Olivia this, and it was. It was
pretty atrocious. But if they called if will Anderson wasn't
getting held the entire game, I mean, arm bars.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
Jersey, you name it.

Speaker 17 (58:58):
Cayler Williams leaves that game in a body.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
I'll tell you that right now.

Speaker 5 (59:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (59:01):
And he got tackled, you man, thanks well, it got
tackled too. On one they called a penalty on the
on the Texans defense and at the same time that
literally the protection grabbed the pass rusher around the waist
and tackled him to the ground and didn't call it.
And the official, the referee standing right there, I understand
what he's saying about and Stroud. He's spot on about

(59:23):
Stroud's ability to make things happen, and he's so accurate
on the move. The guy really is and he's and
he gets you first down with his feet. Underrated because
he's such a good pocket guy. We don't give enough credit.
But that ball hit Tank dro Dell right in the
day on the run. You can't throw that ball any better. Yeah,
And the TV and you can watch the replayer get it.

(59:45):
Boom went right through it. Yeah, he didn't really in truth,
if he just runs through it, probably didn't even need
to jump. If he runs right through it, that that's touchdown.
But regardless, he calls right on that they that defense
nasty and they were grabbed too, And the truth is
we can call that on most every play on both sides.
They're grabbing somebody somewhere. But there they literally tackled the

(01:00:06):
pass rush at times. Yeah, but yeah, that's a good
he's a good call. He makes a great point on c. J.
Stroud's ability outside the pocket. But that was another touchdown
waiting to happen. There's no way you watch it on
tape thinking, ugh, that was a bad throw. That throw
was spectacular.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Yeah, on the move, it was really good. Yeah, really good.

Speaker 7 (01:00:23):
Let's hear from Demico Ryans how did he feel with
his defense? And also we'll hear from Henry Toleatoy he
led the team in tackles. Last night discuss an Excels
sportslock seven ninety and.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
The Seawan Salisbury Show continued.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
It's even harder to win when you're not playing your
best football, and they did. They did just that. Next
week's gonna be it. It'll be it. They may win bigger,
but next week's a tougher task.

Speaker 7 (01:00:49):
Twelve penalties for one hundred and fifteen yards for the Texans,
nine for the Bears for sixty yards.

Speaker 4 (01:00:55):
If you're actually playing a good game a good team,
that's twelve penalties. That speech may have been, Hey, that's
not us. It's all right, we're gonna rebound next week.
We're one and one now, Yeah, that's what that'll cost you. Yeah,
we beat ourselves. Defense was lights out, sure, and that
may end up being the strength with all the bandwidth
of the offense. If this keeps up, your defense may
up being the strength of your team this year, which

(01:01:17):
is crazy. Just look at the playmakers on the offense.
I'll tell you right now, man, they are flying around. Yeah,
hitting everything that moves, Yeah, hitting everything that moves starts Chris,
Good morning, Chris. What's happening?

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
Yeah, Good morning, Brian S.

Speaker 11 (01:01:32):
John.

Speaker 8 (01:01:33):
Great weekend for Houston Sports. Real quick, I just wanted
an honorable mention King Tuck making a get making a
splash with his first time running back from the injury.
I know you guys talk about that later. And second,
I just wanted to say it's been it's been a
lot of fun watching the Texans this year kind of
muddle through the water like they have. I just want

(01:01:54):
I just wonder, Sean, do you think CJ's off a
little bit from not getting a lot of playing time
in the in the preseason. How they you know, protect
them from injury like they are. I mean, did he
get more playing time last year and that's why he
came out of the box as sharp as he is.
He just seems not as accurate right now.

Speaker 18 (01:02:15):
And I just I know they played two good.

Speaker 8 (01:02:18):
Defenses, so we got to give credit there, but I
just was wondering if you think maybe it's just him
working himself back into shape and that will you fix
itself once he does that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
We appreciate the call, Chris, thank you very much. I listen.

Speaker 4 (01:02:32):
I don't think he's played poor. I think he's played
good football. But we're used to great football and we're
in the second year. He's gonna have those moments. My
favorite thing is he finds ways to win even when
he's not playing his best. Last night, for me watching
him for a lot of put it this way, if
Caleb Williams played like c J. Stroud played last night,
what we'd be saying about Kayleb Williams today. Guy's got

(01:02:54):
a chance to be great. He's got a bright futual Oh,
no doubt, he's only going to get better. Well, Chris,
think about how we're judging Stroud just now. When you
talk about regular season starts, seventeen of them. Last week
he was sharp.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
They didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:03:08):
I mean the last week it was mix and who
needed that? They did that and he made enough to hell,
he threw what three touchdowns to two to the didn't
know Collins did not catch a touchdown pass last week,
so he threw two to Digs.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Anybody else catch a touchdown? I can't remember last last week?

Speaker 4 (01:03:22):
Yeah, was it just two or was it three either
way turn in too right, No, he did not one
hundred yards but no touchdown. But regardless, I don't think,
to be honest with you, preseason has anything to do
with Stroud's uh.

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
Right, So it has they like explosive. He missed.

Speaker 4 (01:03:40):
He's missed some throws that were used to him hitting
because he set the bar so high. And he'll make
him again. He will make them again. And he made
some last night. Hell, he makes some throws. You're like,
how did he fit that damn thing in there? So I, Chris,
I wouldn't worry about his accuracy. He's accurate. You're either
accurate or you're not. But remember and you hit it.
These two def well, maybe we overrated the Colts defense

(01:04:03):
because after you watched what the Packers did to them
yesterday and Josh Jacobs right, they didn't Josh Jacobs run
for like a buck thirty five. He was physical. They
faced two physical runners the last two weeks and the
Colts have been curb stopped. So maybe not as good
as we thought. The Colts defense is at least against
the run, but they're better than the way they've played.

(01:04:24):
But I'm not worried about Stroud and I think preseason's
overrated because he gets a lot of work in practice.
And you're right though about the rookie season. What did
he do during the rookie season. He had to come
in and felt like he had to earn the job,
even though you knew he was going to start. So
you're getting more work because you're new in the system,
getting more work. So he didn't need the work as
much this year because well, I don't want to get
it hurt. And he's got a pretty good grasp what

(01:04:48):
Bobby Slow's trying to do. So I think that's why
that sense of urgency is a rookie. All rookie they
need to play more, they need to get a feel
for it. So I think all offenses, because training camps
not just here. All offenses. Mahomes through for a buck
fifty six yesterday. What's wrong he's missing throws? I think, Chris,
what it is is training camp is so short. I'm
not even talking about the games. I don't care CJ.

(01:05:09):
Stroud throws ten balls in a preseason game. It's all
the seven on seven to one on one, eleven on
eleven practicing against other teams. That's far more important. And
I think far more impactful than a veteran, a second
year guy, or a fifth year guy.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Rookies.

Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
I get fifth year guy, second year guy who's had
success on Sundays during the regular season.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
For me to go out and put him at risk
because of.

Speaker 4 (01:05:32):
The fact that it's just preseason, we need to play him,
I don't think so they get all the same full
speed stuff and timing in practice. I don't care about that.
What I do care is training camp itself. I wish
training camp was ten days longer so they have more
practice time. Forget the preseason game. I don't care if
they play two of them or four of them. Less
is more when it comes to that. I just think

(01:05:52):
defenses are always ahead of offense. Last week we had
no three hundred yard passer.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
None.

Speaker 4 (01:05:58):
This past week we've had what three and a couple more. Recovering,
they'll start to heat up. There'll be a weekend when
it's eight of them throw for three hundred plus yards.
So the last thing I'm worried about is c J.
Stroud's accuracy and his ability he's going to be in
his ability to make place he's gonna What I love
about him is that he wins when he's not playing
his best and their team's offense did not play their best.

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
They just didn't. So don't worry about that.

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
Chris training camp for a veteran throwing during a preseason game.
To me, I've changed my thought on it. Fifteen years ago,
you're trying to make a team.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
Yeah, you're c J. Stroud.

Speaker 4 (01:06:32):
I don't need somebody rolling up on him and him missing.
I'll take a few misthrows to know that he's going
to be accurate with a little more work. Defenses are
always ahead of offenses the first month of a season.
They're still in training camp Modeed hate to say it,
but think about the lack of practice you get on
the field during training camp, even though they say it's long.
If they say it's long, they don't want any part

(01:06:53):
of twenty five years ago. So it's just the way
it's changed. You're saving legs and I don't need c J.
Stroud to throw any ball reseason game.

Speaker 7 (01:07:00):
Texans made too many penalties last night here as a
head coach to Miko Ryan speaking about those penalties, it's.

Speaker 19 (01:07:06):
Definitely the attention grabber. I mean, we cannot play that way,
like twelve penalties. It's undisciplined football and is not what
we're about. So we have to clean that up all
across the board. Offense, defense, special teams, everybody, every phase
had penalties. So we allowed them to stay in the
game because we helped them, right, So we have to
pick that up.

Speaker 4 (01:07:27):
Gotta be better, and let's call it like it is.
The punter's got to make sure he missed a few yesterday.
Field position wise, he got to get better. I can't
win the punter matches the kicker. Things will be good,
but you can't, you know, And he'll be fine. The
special teams on this team doesn't usually worry me.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
How about you? I feel pretty good about him. I
feel good. Yeah, they just did.

Speaker 4 (01:07:46):
He just miss hit a few punts in that game yesterday,
and thank goodness because right now two games in the
team MVPI fair and it's not close. Okay, it really is. Yeah,
And you what you don't want to say is that
your team MVP is your kicker.

Speaker 2 (01:08:02):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:08:02):
It's great to have, but you want to end those
with seven points instead of three. Yeah, but they had
to gut it out and three points a couple extra
times was enough last night. Yeah, the guys beyond fifty yards.
These kickers, it's it's crazy. It's I almost feel like
they like the angle more than they do a thirty
forty yard or a thirty three yard extra point. It's incredible.

(01:08:24):
The guy's been phenomenal. Pay whenever they're paying him, pay
him more. I know we got a deal. Pay him more.
He's worth every penny. Yeah, it's it's uh, look it was.
It was an ugly win. But you know what they
say about winning, Sean.

Speaker 7 (01:08:38):
Winning is not the only thing. Winnings everything, not the
only thing close. Winning isn't everything, but the will to
win is everything. That Vince Lombardi, Uh no, that's uh,
that's uh um, yeah, that's Vince Labarti.

Speaker 4 (01:08:52):
Yeah, everybody wants to win. The question is do you
take the time and the will to win and the
sacrifice to win. We all want to win. Yeah, when
you show up, did you sacrifice enough to win this team? Scott,
I'm gonna tell you, Baltimore, Cincinnati, tell me who the
Texans can't play.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
With in the AFC. Let's talk about that next.

Speaker 7 (01:09:11):
Because there were some ugly games yesterday, some surprising wins
for some different teams. Let's discuss that next on Sports
Talk seven to eighty, but the Shawn Salisbury Show continued,
who can the Texans not compete with?

Speaker 10 (01:09:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:09:29):
Who's you start to think, I'm just looking ahead people
that have super Bowl aspirations here, not the team fans.
And it felt it feels like in the offseason, after
one year going from three wins to ten wins, that
it may be a little over zealous or a little
ambitious to think that they're a super Bowl caliber team.

Speaker 5 (01:09:47):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:09:48):
You do you think all these they're gonna be better,
more bandwidth offensively, better defensively, more depth, all those things.
And then the first week goes on and you say,
the stars from Diggs and nieck O'Collins and Joe Mixon
rive their head. They just did Will Anderson Daniel Hunter.
But in the offseason you think, Okay, there's this class
of two or three or four teams, and then the

(01:10:09):
next group down is the Texans, right, and it's not
a far down, but they're in the next group down
playoff team. But are they really ready for that stage?
And then you come into the season and we see
teams all the time go from worse to first. Every
year there's some team, Yeah, the first to win the division,
but now win a Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
Yeah. Well, Bengals always starts slow, there's no doubt with
Joe Burrow.

Speaker 4 (01:10:31):
And there's teams that finish in last place and then
a year later, hence the Texans win the division and
make the playoffs. But if you have said, Sean, are
they a super Bowl team? You asked me this in June,
I have said they're going to beat teams that are
They're going to be competitive in all of them. But
give me one more year of doing this and then
they will come in in next year as ready for
prime time. I think they're ready for it. So let's

(01:10:53):
let's look at just the AFC and real quick.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Yeap.

Speaker 4 (01:10:57):
The Baltimore Ravens do not scare the Houston Texans. The
Buffalo Bills do not scare the Houston Texans. The Miami
Dolphins with Tua obviously do not scare it. The Kansas
City Chiefs, they don't scare them. But that's still the
measuring stick. The Chargers are getting better. I MA can
look around. It's deep and there's really good quarterbacks. Quarterback
plays been down early on in this season in this division.

(01:11:18):
Maybe we overrated the other teams because I think Jacksonville's overrated,
Now I do. It's the disappointment of them. They do
this every year.

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:11:27):
But when you say, and I think to what I
was thinking yesterday watching saying they're not playing really good.
But I'm looking around league a lot of tea. Baltimore
is not playing good. They're not efficient. I said, so,
why can't you be sitting And I know it's a
long ways away, but I'm just parlaying this out.

Speaker 2 (01:11:42):
Are they in over their head?

Speaker 4 (01:11:43):
Are we in over our head to be able to
think really and suffocating to think that the Texans can
be playing in an AFC Championship game? No, I don't
think we are either, because right now, I'm telling you,
right now, they're better than the Bengals.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
The way that the defense is playing. Just the defense alone,
we'll get them.

Speaker 4 (01:12:00):
Oh and it'll keep you in every single frigging game.
And their offense hasn't even exploded yet, like it's gonna happen.
Look at Detroit in the NFC. I think they're a
super Bowl team. Tampa Bay Waltston there and they kicked
their ass, That's what I'm saying, kick their ass yet.
So I think about Arizona the Rams were supposed to
be a matter of fact, a lot of people had
the Rams winning the division over the forty nine ers.
I'm now I'm talking in the NFC, and what happened?

(01:12:22):
Arizona hammered their ass. Yeah, San Francisco, Man, San Francisco
is really good and they are. They go into Minnesota,
Sam Donold's playing really good football, big play, Bam, they
beat their ass. So the point is is that in
the AFC, who's dominant? Kansas City. I just look around
at all the conferences. Buffalo's looks pretty good so far. Yeah,

(01:12:44):
but if you take away if Josh Allen doesn't play
super in, they're not beating you.

Speaker 7 (01:12:47):
The Jets have looked okay, still trying to find their
footing offensively. Their defenses is loaded with athletes now their
defense and their defense in the first game.

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
Was not good. Right, Dolphins finesse team. They can't win.

Speaker 4 (01:13:00):
They cannot They won't make the playoffs, So they'll struggle
to make the playoffs without Tua.

Speaker 7 (01:13:04):
AFC North, all due respect to Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson,
but those two teams are both owing to and now
that I look at how this defense flies around for
the Houston Texans.

Speaker 4 (01:13:14):
Neither of those two two teams scare me, but they're
and they're both gonna come around. You do know this,
But right now I'm saying right now, so anybody that
thought it was in I thought it was a tad
bit ambitious to think super Bowl. Now you got to
think that the players do. But in realistic I mean, like,
come on, man, are they really ready for that next jump?
And the truth of the matter is when you look
at the AFC, there's only one team right now playing

(01:13:36):
on a neutral site. And I'm being honest about this.
In the AFC, there's only one team right now that
I would favor over the Texans on a neutral site.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
That's Kansas the standard. That's it.

Speaker 4 (01:13:49):
But if you if you were playing a game in
Charlotte and you're playing the Chargers, I'm to me, Texans
are favorites going in.

Speaker 5 (01:13:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:13:59):
Now, you may somebody because of the history like Buffalo
and Josh Allen. Josh Allen's a hell of a player.

Speaker 6 (01:14:05):
C J.

Speaker 4 (01:14:06):
Stroud may not run like Josh Allen, but I'll tell
you what, he protects the ball better in certain situations
of the game. So point is is that while over
ambitious thinking the offseason. But when teams now, when they're
not playing their best, and they haven't played their best
in either game, they've done certain parts of it great
talking about is a full team and they're two and zero.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
Last year they were rolling too. This team is ready
for that. Last night was a win.

Speaker 4 (01:14:33):
Not pretty, but you know what, what would you have
done if you'd have thrown for four hundred yards and
everybody been good and all of a sudden your defense
sucked and you got beat.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:14:41):
Well, I think it's ambitious. This is a You got
to start thinking that way, and I can promise you
in the locker room they are.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:14:47):
Give me that ugly, gritty win over the flashy four
hundred yard passing like the Dolphins. They'll throw for two,
will throw for four hundred yards, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Watta
will catch a couple of touchdown passes each and they'll lose.
I'd rather have the gritty, ugly ass win like we
saw last night. The gap is closed from the big
boys to the guys on the rise. Yeah, and I

(01:15:11):
I mean if I told you the Vikings Tampa Bay,
New Orleans, Texans were all for and they beat good
they've beaten teams. Maybe we didn't expect them to win,
to beat those four teams alone. Even the Chargers are
two and zero and you're staring at a couple of teams,
You're like that that's a super Bowl caliber team that
are zero and two. It's early, but I can tell

(01:15:32):
you this early returns the Texans, don't They They don't
have to take a back seat or fear any opponent.
And that's Chiefs included, because they there was at times yesterday.
Mahomes makes it that they were they look pedestrian at
times as well.

Speaker 4 (01:15:48):
Yeah, they're their offense. I mean, thank goodness for their
defense if you're Kansas City, because they are. Of course
they're Spagnolo. Oh yeah, and Chris Jones is a freaking beast.

Speaker 2 (01:15:56):
He's a monster.

Speaker 7 (01:15:58):
All right, let's continue to talk fl We're going to
look across the league on an action packed Sunday. There
were some surprising wins yesterday for some of these teams.
Will continue to look at the division for the AFC
South as well. Texan's leading it. Let's talk about it

you realize before you go out to Ray?

Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:17:14):
Yeah, I was thinking about these Astros. Do you realize
that Baltimore has only got three more wins than the
Astros right now?

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
After all this, it's crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:17:22):
The Yankees, I think, have eighty seven wins, which is
what six more than the Astros. I mean you think
about where they were. Yeah, dude, they're in eighty win
category now and Baltimore's only got three more than them.

Speaker 7 (01:17:33):
Yeah, eighty four and sixty six. The Baltimore Orioles, the
Astros are eighty one and sixty eight. It's pretty wild,
both Cleveland and Kansas. I mean, you go on to
run Hell, you may end up close to the most.
I mean, if you go out to run in the
Yankees start to lose a few and Cleveland lose a few,
you could be sitting right there with the most.

Speaker 2 (01:17:50):
Wins of the American League. It's nuts after all this. Yeah,
come on now, Son, Yeah, it's nuts. It is nuts.
All right, let's get out to Montana. Talk to Ray.
What's happening to Ray?

Speaker 10 (01:18:01):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (01:18:01):
I just want what is y'all? What did y'all think
about the Saints boat racing the Cowboys yesterday? I don't
think anybody saw that coming. I think it's gonna be
a Gulf Coast super Bowl with us and the Saints. Also,
uh remember the Rangers winning that World Series and now
they're not even gonna make the playoffs. I just think

(01:18:23):
that's completely great and awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:18:25):
It's funny as hell. Real quick.

Speaker 4 (01:18:27):
Getting back to the Saints, their offense has been They
were the top ten offense last year with points and
they showed at this I mean, Caroline is not good,
but they went into Dallas. Dallas hasn't lost the game
at home, and they won every single game at home
last year and a favre and the they won every
game at home last year, so it was even a
more impressive win.

Speaker 5 (01:18:45):
Clar.

Speaker 4 (01:18:45):
I mean they came out smoking boom boom boom, bingo
bango bongo, and the Cowboys could never recover. I'm not
shocked that they've stayed close, shocked they kicked their ass.
But I can tell you this, their defense, the Saints
defense is always the Saints defense can play. They are
Dennis Allen knows how to coach defense, and I don't
know if Dennis Allen can coach a team to a
Super Bowl because he's such a good coordinator. But as

(01:19:07):
a head coach, they're responding and they're making plays all
over the field.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:19:11):
I was shocked by the ass kicking. Not that New
Orleans could go in there and win, but the way
the Cowboys have played at home the last year plus
they didn't. They didn't lose a game at home last year,
so yeah, they are. And Kamara is playing like a
man possessed and cars protecting the ball. That was a
fun watch, and they got up on him so fast
they could never recover. The Cowboys offense, to me, has

(01:19:31):
still got some suspect parts to it. The Saints are
playing out of their mind right now.

Speaker 5 (01:19:36):
I can't wait until our defense gets a hold of
the Cowboys and Dak Prescott. I am so ready for that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:43):
Oh, it's gonna be a fun movie to watch, that's
for sure.

Speaker 5 (01:19:47):
Hopefully it's a horror film for them. Yep, you guys
have a great day.

Speaker 4 (01:19:52):
Thanks right, I appreciate it. Yeah, they put it on him.
That defense in New Orleans has been real. Yeah, and
the offense just the questions will arise as and car
only threw sixteen times for what two hundred and forty
plus yards, protected the ball.

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
He's playing good football.

Speaker 4 (01:20:08):
Their question is always gonna rise you go on, what's
it gonna be like later in the season when he
goes on the road gets hit early in the game.
But I can tell you this, they're responding to him,
He's responding to them, and that defense can play. And
the Cowboys had no answer for anything on either side
of the ball and the cot I was shocked at
how easy it was for the Saints to make big
plays against the Cowboys.

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
They made it look so damned. The Cowboys don't lose
at home now, No, they don't. They just don't. They
sure don't. Let's talk to Brett Brett, good morning, Heyo,
morning guys.

Speaker 20 (01:20:37):
I know that the whole thing this season about the
hip dround tackle is supposed to be penalized, but I'm
wondering are they gonna.

Speaker 21 (01:20:43):
Actually call out or that a Goodell smoking mirror thing.
And yes, the Texan shocked themselves in the foot wall
a lot of penalties yesterday, but how many times is
Anderson and the Neil had to get their heads almost
ripped off in headlocks before a hold.

Speaker 20 (01:21:00):
Appreciate because that killed that, That killed the past an
interception when they missed the hole and they called the
past in appearance right.

Speaker 2 (01:21:10):
Yeah, appreciated Brett, Thanks for the call.

Speaker 22 (01:21:13):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (01:21:13):
When it comes to that hip drop tackle, Sean, Uh,
you know they made a big emphasis. Like Brett mentioned,
Joe Mixon last night left the game for a little
bit one of the blue tent and it was one
hundred percent of hip drop tackle. Mike Treco and Chris
Collinsworth talked about the four points of emphasis on a
hip drop hip drop tackle and what refs should be

(01:21:35):
looking for, and all four of those points of emphasis
were on that tackle and it was not called. Joe
Mixon tweeted out after the game. He said, he asked
the ref he said, isn't that a hip drop tackle?
And the rest of no, it's not.

Speaker 2 (01:21:45):
Well, well, then what the hell is they missed it? Now?

Speaker 4 (01:21:48):
Listen in real time, it's hard to Oh, there's one,
there's two, there's three. It's hard to do because all
the bodies that are floating around. But that's your job.
And here's what I think once again, and I don't understand.
There's got to be a certain part, like since the
hip drop is about, is difficult to judge for the
live eye of a referee with all a moving parts.

(01:22:10):
Guy comes up, you can't tell did he do this?
Did he do three of the four? Did he do
all four points of emphasis? All those things that would
they would? And when you see the end picture of
the guy sitting on his rear and yanking him down
right when you see the still shot, But why can't
you in a moment like that.

Speaker 2 (01:22:25):
The guy's hurt anyway, he's on the field, he's not good.

Speaker 4 (01:22:29):
Thank you the damn if you miss, especially when you're
telling me and Mike Tariko and Chris consw did how
difficult it can be. Boom boom, boom boom. But there's
four points that if you're if four's too many, then
you better review it. If they can't follow it, because
it is difficult, dude, that's a tough task, those guys
and these grown ass men, and sometimes they listen. I
think we over overprotect our quarterbacks at times I do,

(01:22:54):
and I think we miss The referee is not looking
at the past interference. He's in the back field looking
at the offensive line play. You can't miss a guy
grabbing a guy around the way. You just can't miss it. So,
and they're tough to the holdings is pretty easy to see,
but plays like that. So if you're telling me it's
difficult to see all four, well then you have maybe

(01:23:16):
four points is too much. Secondly, while the player's on
the ground, even if can't, you go over there and
it's be real simple. You roll it still by still boom.
There's one point, there's two point, there's three point, there's four.

Speaker 2 (01:23:30):
Throw the flag. It can't be that difficult.

Speaker 4 (01:23:33):
If you want safety sacrifice thirty seconds or forty five
seconds or a minute to go, look at it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
Now and you don't need a review.

Speaker 7 (01:23:39):
That's an automatic when it comes to that tackle, automatic
booth review, then you protect the defense if it was
only two points and it's not a tackle, and you
protect the player if it is. If you're not gonna
go review it and you don't know, it's just a
and I hear a judgment call, well, if they can't
keep up with the four points, then you better go
review it and let the guy who's got the like
we did, ability to see instant replay and delay the

(01:24:01):
game of sixty seconds. I don't care about that. I
want to play called right and it was a call
they missed it. You should be able to review without throwing.
That should be like inside of two minutes, automatic booth review.
When it is a all the guys should do is
click on it. We're gonna go to the booth. We're
reviewing the You know what do they call it?

Speaker 9 (01:24:20):
A hip?

Speaker 2 (01:24:21):
Hip drop?

Speaker 7 (01:24:22):
Hip drop, hip drop tackle great boom boom boom. That's
an easy answer to find because you it's now defined
for you. Here's the first one hit it, second, one third,
one fourth, one hit all four points boom, walk away
from that thing of sixty seconds hip drop tackle fifteen
yard penalty or whatever, and whatever you do from there.
It's it's wrong not to review these things to get
it right. I don't understand it. I think at the

(01:24:43):
end of the day, like if there's a referee that's
watching that play happen and they just at the slightest
think it is, throw the flag anyways, review it and
then have to pick up the flag, I would rather
that than just a no call, right, I mean, what's
the to take, Like, if this is what they really
want to do, If they want to put an emphasis
on this hip drop tackle because of what happened with

(01:25:06):
Mark Andrews last year the tied end for the Ravens,
if that's really what they're gonna do, then throw the
damn flag anyways, because you could pick it up. Well,
they throw the flag on what they think could be
defensive pass interferes and then oh, hey we're gonna pick
it up ball was uncatchable.

Speaker 4 (01:25:18):
Preaching for safety right yeah? Okay, Well let me ask
you this. Do we review helmet to helmet headshots for targeting?

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
Yeah? We stopped the game for that right correct to see.

Speaker 4 (01:25:28):
If you got the targeting right and if a guy
should be penalized, fine, kicked, or whatever it is. We're
doing right, yes, so, and we always protect the upper body.
So now if we if we're making an infants on
protecting guys lower half, why can't you treat that tackle
like you would the the helmet helmet?

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
Why not? All the technology just make everything freaking reviewable.

Speaker 4 (01:25:54):
They change enough rules anyway, yeah, they Oh, they micro
manage every single rule in football, So why not might
as well add this to it and go get it right?
And it's an easy if you know the four points,
can't you just go, there's one, there's two, there's three,
there's fore, there is no after that, there is no judgment.
It's right in front of your eyes. Call it and
get them and make the call right. And not only

(01:26:16):
the injury, but the yardage too matters as well. If
you want to really protect the player, don't tell me
you're protecting the player by not protecting the player.

Speaker 7 (01:26:24):
Right, it's just stupid, Yeah, it is just stupid. Seven
one three, two, one two five seven ninety. Bill Mark
will get to your calls. Next, we'll keep my goodness.
We will continue to talk about the NFL. Also, the
kickers in the NFL, well, it's look at how many
points they've scored in just two weeks. That's next that
Sports Talk seven to eighty.

Speaker 1 (01:26:45):
This Sean Salisbury Show continues.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
Get out to the phone lines, smart, good morning.

Speaker 23 (01:26:53):
Hey, you know I got I need to know y'all's
opinion about the new kickoff.

Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
Rule in the NFL. Is it going last?

Speaker 23 (01:27:01):
You think it'll be changed next year? Because I think
it sucks that it eliminates on side kicks? And uh,
I want to know y'all's opinion of the best too
and OH team, the worst too and oh team.

Speaker 3 (01:27:16):
And the best and worst of the two teams.

Speaker 4 (01:27:20):
Appreciate it? Mark, kickoff rull sucks. That's a lot of
want who knows by Mark? But I like Mark Mark
Wes from Humble or Umble.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
Umble There you go.

Speaker 7 (01:27:28):
Yeah, kickoff rull sucks. Yeah, I could tell you. Will
they change it?

Speaker 24 (01:27:32):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:27:32):
No, you know why because it's it's a good gimmick
that says that shows the optics.

Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
We're trying to keep people safe on a kickoff return.

Speaker 4 (01:27:39):
Yeah, we won't review a guy who slams the guy
to the ground and does the the the the uh
what do we call it again?

Speaker 9 (01:27:47):
Hip?

Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
What hip drop drop hip hip drop.

Speaker 4 (01:27:50):
I's called you know, yeah, sling slanging them hips on
the tackle, but we won't review that, so it's a
bit hypocritical. The kickoff rules and the fact that I
got to tell you I'm running an on side kick
is absolutely the dumbest it's It's just it's called tackle
football for a friggin reason enough.

Speaker 2 (01:28:08):
And they called a targeting.

Speaker 4 (01:28:09):
Did you see in the game yesterday when they called
a targeting one of the games I can't remember which
one was.

Speaker 7 (01:28:12):
Yeah, And then they got more where they hit the
quarterback the shoulder pads, or the defender at the shoulder pad,
or the offensive player at the shore.

Speaker 4 (01:28:19):
It's a good physical play, huh does? And wasn't that
one too when he went under down low and hit
the guy not even closely? Stop it so stupid. It's
called tackle football for a reason. Eventually, then then you just,
you know what, do what they do with the Pro Bowl.
Let's put them in flags and let's go. It's a physical,
brutal and it's a violent game. Get rid of the
dirty hits. But you got it, you can't punish the
clean hits. It's like hitting the ball in a fair way,

(01:28:41):
and it rolls two feet off into the rough, and
you smoke the three hundred and twenty yard drive and
it punishes you and it rolls off and then you
can't find your ball.

Speaker 2 (01:28:49):
It's like four feet of rough. And we're not playing
with us.

Speaker 4 (01:28:51):
But I'm talking about for amateurs at a golf course,
and they punish good shots. Don't be punishing defensive players.
And I'm an offensive guy for hitting a guy physically,
I'm talking about hitting through him and making a good tackle.
But because your eyes say it's violent, even though he
didn't break a rule, that's football. It's unfortunate, you know,
going in the best oh and two. So yeah, the

(01:29:13):
kickoff rule absolutely sucks.

Speaker 2 (01:29:15):
Ass stupid.

Speaker 4 (01:29:16):
It's a gimmick. It's embarrassing. It does nothing. Okay, it
absolutely does nothing. As far as now, the best oh
and two teams and the worst oh and two teams?

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
Is that what he said? Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:29:27):
And then the best two and o team and the
worst oh and two team, Well, let's go through it.
The worst oh and two team is Carolina. They're pitiful Carolina.
We need thirty one teams in the league right now.
Carolina should be playing on Friday night. Okay, So there's
that one. Another two and O team, let's see or
oh and two team that The Giants are the second

(01:29:50):
worst team in football. They're They're pitiful as well. The
best oh and two team there's three of them. You
can choose from the Rams, Baltimore, Cincinnati. I'm gonna say
I'm gonna lean Baltimore, CINCINNTI with the Rams close. Those
are the best owing two teams. So, but the worst
oh and two teams are obvious and they are brutal.

(01:30:11):
Watch Okay, the best two and oh teams and the
worst two and oh teams. I would say that I
have a hard time believing that Tampa is a Super
Bowl contender. But they're playing good football. They got some
KG veterans. Their defense flies around. I'm thinking of the
worst two and oh teams, I'm looking around. Oh, I'll

(01:30:33):
tell you who it is, because their offense. It's Pittsburgh. Yeah,
Pittsburgh's the worst two and oh team. I love Mike Tomlin,
but that offense is eventually going to go by the wayside.
Their defense will keep them in every game. Their offense
isn't two and O worthy. I mean, they've won two games,
so they are worthy. But as we go along, that's
not going to continue. Because now Mike Tomlin's as good
as it gets other than Nandy Reid. I think he's
the best coaching football. That's just me, just with what

(01:30:56):
he did, the way players respond to him. Brian, you
know what I mean. I I their offense is not
good enough to sustain six and zero unless their defense
plays out of their minds. So I would say it's
them the best two and oh team. Well else I
can't say Chiefs. Yeah, and after that, I know people
are going to give Buffalo, and Buffalo's played well, you

(01:31:16):
can put them in there. Tennessee is obvious. The Chargers,
I still think there's a distance to go for them.
I think the Minnesota Vikings I think they're better. But
the Minnesota Vikings are not a seven and one start
type team, so some would say they're the worst to
and they're not. They're playing pretty good. Is Darnold's protecting
football Unlike aside from a red zone interception yesterday, it's

(01:31:37):
playing really good football. I think the Saints and Tampa.
Probably Saints are really good and proving it on defense offense,
and they may win that division. But I still don't
have them as a super Bowl caliber team, do you No,
I still don't think they're a super Bowl team. So
maybe a little window dressing, but they are making it emphatic.
They beat a Carolina team that sucks, but they win
into Dallas, a hard place to play. That's win in

(01:32:00):
the first two weeks of the season, and the way
they went about it. Seattle solid. San Francisco won one,
but to me, the Baltimore and in Cincinnati probably the best,
the best OH to two teams, and the best two
and O teams, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (01:32:13):
Houston's in the mix in the top five. There's no doubt.

Speaker 7 (01:32:16):
The three New Orleans Saints have scored ninety one points
in two games. They've allowed just twenty nine. Their point
differential is sixty two.

Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
Yeah, it's crazy, it's crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:32:25):
They're getting everything out of everybody in Kamara is playing
great football right now.

Speaker 7 (01:32:29):
And I will I gotta, I really really gotta thank
Lovey Smith, and I gotta thank Davis Mills for winning
that final game in the twenty twenty two season. And again,
there's still no guarantee that the Texans would have taken
Bryce Shungk with a number one pick but I'm assuming
they would.

Speaker 2 (01:32:44):
He is terrible. I'm shocked he's so bad.

Speaker 7 (01:32:47):
He is bad, Sean, it's not even I get you're
playing behind a pretty bad offensive line.

Speaker 2 (01:32:53):
Eight six completions for like nine yards, or holding.

Speaker 7 (01:32:56):
The ball too long, like missing his first read, not
giving it to the to his safety blanket if you will,
just not taking the sure thing, like just like below
average quarterbacks should be able to make that.

Speaker 2 (01:33:08):
And he's the number one pick and he's off.

Speaker 15 (01:33:10):
All of it.

Speaker 4 (01:33:10):
And then listen, their team's not good. The even the
upgrades have not preferred their offensive line and running around
and then they're they're playmakers, they are there, they're it's
a brutal watch. It's horrible, and they're gonna continue to
get boat raced by teams. Is I always try to say, okay,
let's slow. Last year he had no chance. Right now
that they they sucked and he had no chance. It's like, okay,

(01:33:31):
we're gonna see some we're gonna we're gonna see some
some improvement by him.

Speaker 2 (01:33:36):
Right yeah, he might be worse, worse. I think he's worse.

Speaker 7 (01:33:41):
And it's it's odd because the guys have got football,
great football.

Speaker 2 (01:33:44):
IQ.

Speaker 4 (01:33:46):
I know he's a little undersized, but a playmaker. But
it just goes to show you even at Alabama, when
you get up with the grown ass men and the
big boys, it's different, and it's just for whatever. Well,
you didn't have four number one first round wide receivers
running around for him. He doesn't have an offensive line
is going to have from freshman a senior year going
to have eight first round picks on the offensive line.
And now he's realizing, ooh, this is different these guys

(01:34:08):
I'm playing against.

Speaker 2 (01:34:09):
You know who?

Speaker 4 (01:34:10):
He's playing against Alabama on the college level, and you're
an FCS school every friggin week, that's who Carolina is.
So he's the FCS quarterback playing against on a team
that's like a two win team each week, New Mexico
State playing against Alabama. It's Carolina playing against everybody. That's
who they are. Right now, he's realizing that every time

(01:34:30):
I drop back there's a chance I'm getting hit. But
he's now and what's gonna happen. He's gonna get skittish.

Speaker 2 (01:34:34):
Dude. I'm just telling you, as good as he can be.

Speaker 4 (01:34:37):
I can't believe he's this because a lot of people
I talked to expected him to play better and didn't
want to call him a bus But you've got to
start to look around and say, do we need to
check and get the backup in just to get something
going after the end of this first month, Dude, the
Carolina fans are going to disappear, if they already haven't.
I am absolutely shocked that Bryce Young's playing, not just
playing like a young player, but playing like a a

(01:35:02):
guy who doesn't belong in the league. Now, would he
play better here? Sure, he played better. I think he'd
be more well coached and a better team. But can
you imagine the right now what you know in a
season in two games? Can you imagine the the navigation
of a franchise if Stroud was at Carolina and we
had Bryce Young right now?

Speaker 2 (01:35:20):
And I hate to say that for the young man,
but dude, I can't win with him right now. You
can't now. But it's a cute You can't win And listen, as.

Speaker 4 (01:35:31):
Crazy as their owner is, who's that, David Tepper, as
nuts as he is with this dude, he might wake
up tomorrow and fire the coach and cut Bryce Young.
Now I'm being a little bit hyper blocked, but you
get my point, there is zero patience there. But he's
validating how everybody felt the Master rookie year that some

(01:35:52):
thought he played better. I think a lot of us did. Dude,
it's a hard he's he's he's it's like he's playing scared.

Speaker 7 (01:35:58):
Even even the plays where he has time and protection,
his decision making is awful.

Speaker 4 (01:36:05):
And he's and he said he's been labeled in the
past of football savants. Yeah, it's just it looks like.

Speaker 7 (01:36:11):
He looked yesterday the film that I watched, or the
plays that I watched where he had protection. I mean,
he wasn't accurate, he miss reads. It's like he held
onto the ball too long. Yeah, Like, I mean, just
all the basic stuff. Did you get rid of the football?
He like scrambled out to his left at one point,
had a guy wide open, like six yards in front
of him, tried to turn around, tried to make a
cutback and ends.

Speaker 2 (01:36:32):
Up getting rocked.

Speaker 7 (01:36:34):
Dude, if you're not gonna throw it to your wide
open wide receiver in the flat, then just airmail it
and get it in the stands.

Speaker 4 (01:36:38):
It it's just terrible. Yeah, it's getting to the point
where it's almost hard to run him out.

Speaker 24 (01:36:44):
There.

Speaker 2 (01:36:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:36:45):
I saw a lot of people yesterday, a lot of
a lot of like, uh like football media members talking
about are the Panthers do they need to bench Bryce Young?

Speaker 2 (01:36:53):
Like, I mean, just bad man.

Speaker 4 (01:36:55):
At some point time, you've got you've gotta change the tide.
That's why quarterbacks got to make peop even though they're
not any good. There is that whole combination. It's one
of the worst watches you've seen in the NFL a
long time.

Speaker 2 (01:37:07):
Yeah, it's bad. It's embarrassing. Unreal, Yeah, it is unreal.

Speaker 7 (01:37:10):
All right, we're gonna welcome in Astros broadcaster Steve Sparks
of the show next on Sports Talk seven to eighty.

Speaker 4 (01:37:14):
Hey, guys, Witsittvision dot com. Doctor Jeff wits at w
h I T s e t t at witstt vision
dot com. He's been my uh I doctor for a
while now for eye care, and he's also my Lasik
procedure guy, and he's the best on the planet. He's
a Lasik procedure great, one of the foremost in Lasik.
He'll walk you through it. It's non invasive. Guys, I

(01:37:34):
wasn't on the table ten minutes at the most and
was seeing better in a few days, and I'd seen
in a long long time. And so when you get
that in, the recovery is quick and the follow up
is off the charts. You got the best. You want
to be comfortable and you want to be secure and
confident to know that the guy who's doing it's an expert,
especially when it comes to your eyes. I mean, now
I can lose a finger and still deal with it.

(01:37:54):
I don't want to lose an eye, and I don't
want to go wrong. And doctor Whitson did mind a perfection?
Go in and see him with your free consultation, your
free look at your eyes at seven one three three six,
five nine seven nine nine seven one three three six,
five nine seven nine nine. If you want it done right,
you don't want to let's take the cheap and get
a twenty five dollars lasik procedure. If they're doing that,

(01:38:17):
I would suggest you rip that up and go to
another doctor, because when it comes to your eyes, you
want somebody who's precise, dynamic, and the very best.

Speaker 2 (01:38:24):
It makes you comfortable, and that's wits It wh I
T S E T T. The very best.

Speaker 4 (01:38:28):
Workout a plan, payment plan, insurance, whatever it is, you
go in there and get this done. And if you're
waiting because contacts and glasses are not your thing, the
weight is over. Go see doctor Jeff wits It the
best in the business, tens of thousands of these procedures.
Witsitt Vision dot com, wits It vision dot com Live.

Speaker 7 (01:38:46):
That there. The Shawn Salisbury Show continues ASTROS Broadcaster. Yeah,
we sure do Mondays at eight thirty. Great to have
Steve on in four and a half game lead took
care of their business. Now on the way to Sandy.
We're not a bad road trip to go to Anaheim.

Speaker 4 (01:39:00):
See that beauty there and then boom pop down about
an hour and five hour and ten minutes down to
what maybe as good a ball park as or is
in Petcole Park.

Speaker 2 (01:39:07):
Steve, good to have you on, all right. What'd you
see in Justin Justin Fields?

Speaker 4 (01:39:11):
I'm looking at the TV Justin Verlander in his start
after the struggles, did you see some that gave you
aside from velocity, that gave you a little more life
on what we expect from him?

Speaker 24 (01:39:23):
Yeah, you know, I thought he pitched better than of
course his previous two starts. And I think the one
thing that I saw outside of the velocity as you mintioned,
is a more true fastball didn't have that leak, so
he could get to the gloves side. As far as
his command with that fastball, I think he is literally
the best I've ever seen at that, being able to
get that pitch low and away to Righty's or up

(01:39:45):
in a way to Ridey's, being able to hit that
lane on the other side with the tailing action I
saw on his fastball before that, it was always leaking
back to where the hitters could could get some good,
good hacks at it, so it was more true.

Speaker 18 (01:40:01):
I think a step in the right direction for very
later just gives you another.

Speaker 4 (01:40:05):
Option, Steve, I'm sticking to pitching for a couple of these.
And Renel Blanco he had a good outing as well.
I know with all the pitch count and how many
innings he's logged, but how could you not be proud
of him. I mean, he has been great, really, the
solid part of it all year long, and even when
he's not going good, the guy grinds and he may

(01:40:28):
not start in the postseason, he may come out of
the bulb and whatever. But the truth of the matter
is there's been times this year when we have desperately
needed him here in Houston. I have a lot of
respect for what he's done this year, knowing that, hey,
this is I mean, this has been the best year
of his career as a starting pitcher, and really the
only one where he sustained it this long in the
major league level. And I couldn't be more proud of him,

(01:40:48):
maybe more proud of him than I am on anybody
on the ashles of what he's done this year.

Speaker 18 (01:40:52):
Yeah, and I think he number one on the list
of you look back at this season. This is the
number one surprise, yeh, breakout?

Speaker 5 (01:41:02):
Look at that.

Speaker 18 (01:41:02):
I mean, he's thirty one years old and he's having
a breakout season as a major leaguer. He's not even
arbitration eligible yet.

Speaker 2 (01:41:09):
Freaking awesome, is that, Steve? Isn't it awesome?

Speaker 3 (01:41:11):
Cost effective?

Speaker 5 (01:41:13):
Yeah, it couldn't be better.

Speaker 18 (01:41:14):
You know, we've talked about those six guys that the
Astros signed so later, much later in their lives, you know,
nineteen through twenty two years old, guys that they signed
in six of those hit including including Brian Abreu and
Ronel Blanco, Guys that aren't even arbitration eligible yet. So
to have them in their prime right now the Astros.

(01:41:36):
It's the biggest reason.

Speaker 24 (01:41:37):
It's literally the single biggest reason the Astros have sustained
this success. Yeah, you know, rodel Blanco, I'm with you,
very proud. Eleven shutout innings his last two starts. Yep,
he's going to be a great option for him in
the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (01:41:51):
Yeah, it gives you more bandwidth, which was awesome to have.
And getting to now that another guy, Kakuchi. You know,
Steve You you heard all the talk when he was
getting traded and sometimes you will. We talk about overpaying
and giving up prospects in order to get him. You
got to You're gonna have to give up stuff that
you may not want to give up. But in truth,
now I don't know what's gonna happen five years from now.
I hope all those guys become stars in Toronto and

(01:42:12):
do their thing. But Dana hit the Dana hit this.
This is an upper tank home run style With this,
Dana Brown Kokuchi has been fantastic and another wonderful outing.
Not only has he come through, but I think he's
exceeded expectations. And I'd make this trade twenty five times
over considering what we've seen from him.

Speaker 18 (01:42:33):
Me too, Yeah, this is a complete bulls eye.

Speaker 2 (01:42:36):
I mean, he picked the right guy.

Speaker 18 (01:42:38):
It's the swinging miss giving him a chance to win
every time he pitches. Give me at least five innings
every time you pitch, and he's been perfect in that arena.
So forty eight innings, fifty nine strikeouts, and that just
takes all the guesswork out when you punch dudes out.
It couldn't have been better. I mean eight to zero
in his starts. It could not have been better. They

(01:42:58):
picked the right guy. In talent assessment, that's realizing what
you have on your plate to be able to help
guys get better when they come over to your team.
All of the above, but yeah, all the credit goes
to data in the front office for pinpointing the guy
that they wanted, and they got the right one, no question.

Speaker 4 (01:43:17):
And it takes guts to pull that stuff off, Steve,
you know what I mean, it does because you know
what people felt, even though the production at times wasn't
where it is as a young player, but the energy
people fell in love with low per fetal and rightfully
so I get it. The kids got I love his grid.
I love his energy and that's tough to pull that
trigger knowing there's going to be backlash, but you hit
it perfect. That's that's a one shot bullseye, right, phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (01:43:40):
Yeah, Boss is a guy.

Speaker 2 (01:43:41):
Ye, Loss is the guy.

Speaker 24 (01:43:43):
I mean, he's the one where you're you're thinking, in
two or three years, like Stave, we could have had him.

Speaker 18 (01:43:49):
Don't forget what Cochi's doing right now.

Speaker 2 (01:43:51):
I mean, Bloss is going to be good.

Speaker 24 (01:43:54):
Not to say that the other two won't either, but
for me, you know, this is just my assessment is
that Jake Bloss was the toughest one.

Speaker 11 (01:44:00):
To give up.

Speaker 4 (01:44:01):
Oh yeah, it's Steve and you know arms, especially in
Major League Baseball. But you're right, three years from now,
you're you're gonna have that temptation. If he develops like
you expect him too, it's gonna be like, oh, why
do we do it? And then you take whoe wo
slow down, Look look at the dude. We got what
he's done. Steve sparks for his Monday visit regularly here
every Monday at eight thirty on Sports Talk seven ninety. Okay, Steve,
I'm gonna this may not be fair, but just from

(01:44:22):
your assessment. We're you know, we're in the teams now
with games to go. What which one do you trust more?
I know you trust both. You've talked about hitting forever.
I get it, and I know how you feel about pitching.
But what's u Maybe let me put it this way.
What's the strength of the team right now? What grouping
it is? Isn't it charting?

Speaker 5 (01:44:42):
Pitching?

Speaker 2 (01:44:43):
Yeah? Yeah, and think about that, st.

Speaker 4 (01:44:45):
Think what you're saying. Yeah, think what you were saying
about pitching. How many teams would be able to say
And I'm including JP France and this that you lost
five guys who start and and and a couple of
them and potent one Brown started like he belonged in
Triple A this year and now is a lights out ace.
And then you've got Verlander who's been through it. And

(01:45:07):
this is the strength of a team who's only six
wins away from having the most wins in the American
League after all that, and that's the strength of the team.
It's a pretty good strength to have, considering they've got
some bats on this team too.

Speaker 24 (01:45:21):
Well, that's the strength you want to have. Now you're
you're going into a situation down the stretch with probably
the best one to two punch in the rotation of
anybody in baseball, with Hunter Brown and Tromber, those two guys,
I think this June first or twenty one and six,
something like that. Yep, that's an unbelievable one two punch.

(01:45:42):
And with Kakuchi probably pitching the third game of whatever
series you might go into, you feel great about your opportunity,
especially three guys who can strut guys out, and you
know how much that matters right in the.

Speaker 18 (01:45:55):
Postseason and keep the ball on the ballpark. Fromber, I
think it's only giving up eleven homers this year in
the ballparks another huge one too, so.

Speaker 24 (01:46:02):
I don't think he's pitched much better than he is
right now. In Hunter just keeps getting stronger, and they
just have great options right now. So you keep them healthy,
you get them deeper into the games, you get the
bullpen guys more rest as things go along here, and
with the addition of Hector Nerris, I think it's rounded
out the bullpen very nicely now.

Speaker 2 (01:46:24):
No doubt and Steve go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 24 (01:46:27):
No, I just feel like, you know, when you look
at all the other teams that have a chance to
get to the postseason. I'll put the Astros up there
with anybody, especially the way they've pitched in the last
two and a half months.

Speaker 4 (01:46:39):
And the bullpen's even going to be strengthened more when
you're going to take a guy if it's Blanco or
someone like that and stick him in there for help
if you need him, right, I mean, it's just it's
incredible after all this and Stephen going back to Frober
and Hunter Brown and not you, but think about some
of the narrative people question is is Fromber's head? I mean,
can he is he mentally tough to handle struggle and

(01:47:02):
then pitch his way through it?

Speaker 2 (01:47:03):
We've heard that.

Speaker 4 (01:47:04):
And then Hunter Brown with the struggles early on, it's
like and now they are possibly and especially Lefty Righty
maybe the best one two punch going right now. And
three months ago he just said, how is Steve selling this? Well,
here we are, and you're one hundred percent correct. All right,
let me switch to the Bats and Kyle Tucker and
then I'll let you go. Feels like he's starting to
round into it. Power back a little bit. Are you

(01:47:25):
seeing anything different with the torque that is this what
we should expect that Kyle Tucker's going to hit the
ground running by the time postseason starts.

Speaker 18 (01:47:32):
You know, he had the pinch hit homer a couple
of days ago on Saturday night in Anaheim, and he
talked about it after the games, that I've been cutting
off my swing that one. You know, I was able
to take it out there. I was hitting in the
cage before that pinchheit appearance, and I felt it, you know.
So you feel it and then you realize, Okay, the

(01:47:53):
work I'm doing right now is starting to pay off.
It's probably not where he wants it exactly, but it's
getting closer closer, And you think about how long.

Speaker 24 (01:48:02):
He missed and mess over three months. It's going to
take a little while to get your timing and feel
good about your swing.

Speaker 2 (01:48:07):
But that was that was the point.

Speaker 18 (01:48:09):
We can probably look back to it, especially if he
has a good series here in San Diego that where
all right now he's starting to click. His timing on
the fast balls is getting better, and he's starting to
look more like Kyle uh And then you start looking
at your lineup and it starts to get pretty nice.

Speaker 5 (01:48:26):
They were zero for sixteen yesterday in the top four guys.

Speaker 2 (01:48:28):
I know the ass and still won. They still won
pretty handily.

Speaker 18 (01:48:33):
So uh yeah, I feel good that he's getting close
and I see him moving around, and I think he's
pretty close to playing back to back games again. And
I think it's you know, you got him back just
in time to be able to round into the shape
to help you down the stretch, but also help you
in the postseason once you get there, hopefully.

Speaker 4 (01:48:52):
And Steve, just when you say cut off your swing,
for somebody who doesn't know what you mean, he's cutting
off his swing. Is that Let me just say, is
it like golf where a guy's not you know, how
you short arm it on the finish where you're you're
not extending or is there a different when you say
cutting off the swing for people that are listening, What
do you mean by that?

Speaker 18 (01:49:09):
I mean in my eyes, you know, I'll ask Kyle,
and if it's different, I'll let you know. But in
my eyes, you cut off your swing if that front
shoulder opens up, Okay, you can't reach the out.

Speaker 2 (01:49:20):
Or third, gotcha? Okay, So you cut off the band
with your swing, drive through the ball, got it?

Speaker 18 (01:49:24):
Get drive through the ball and get true.

Speaker 4 (01:49:26):
Backstin on it perfect, all right, great explanation, Great stuff,
my man. Uh so you're in pet Do you like
San Diego? What do you one of your favorite stops?
Would tell me about San Diego?

Speaker 6 (01:49:36):
You like it?

Speaker 18 (01:49:37):
Top three San Diego. It's gorgeous, you know. Uh, you know,
being able to walk to the ballpark is something that
we always love too. Is just you know, it makes
things so much easier when you're not waiting and our
buses and things like that. So, uh, it's gorgeous, you know. Aesthetically,
I put it up there with Canden Yards, you know,
I think being able to integrate some of what's going
on around the city, you know, close to the ballpark

(01:49:59):
with the brick and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:50:01):
I thinks now that warehouse it's right down the left
field line. Awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:50:04):
Now it's my hometown obviously, and I love it. And
you also get right there in the gas lamp, like
you said, walking to you get all that the choices
of good restaurants.

Speaker 2 (01:50:11):
What a great city. Yeah, you enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (01:50:13):
Padrey's playing pretty decent baseball this season and it should
be a fun series. Hopefully they go in there and
keep this run going. Steve, we appreciate you one man. Yeah,
it's gonna be awesome. Can't wait to see it, and
we'll look forward to next Monday's conversation. Brother, Thank you
all right, Sean, have a great wait for you too.
That's a great Steve Sparks Envy gets at San Diego.
The weather's gonna be nice, and he's out there right

(01:50:34):
in the gas lamp district. Yeah, man, maybe fit us
in his luggage or well, he's already there. Can they
fedexus there, Brian for about three days, go to Petco
and Steve. Maybe play a little golf at La Hooya
Country Club or somewhere out there.

Speaker 7 (01:50:46):
He's got a gas lamp right now. Let's go Sports
Talk seventh night. He will be right back.

Speaker 9 (01:50:53):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (01:50:53):
This is the Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 2 (01:50:57):
Bill, welcome in. Sorry to hear about your Bears.

Speaker 5 (01:50:59):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:51:02):
No you're not, No, I'm not.

Speaker 20 (01:51:05):
Was I hey?

Speaker 6 (01:51:06):
Answer me? This was I spot on on Friday with
how that game was going to play out? Did I
hit every mark?

Speaker 5 (01:51:11):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:51:12):
It's almost like you've watched Bears football before.

Speaker 6 (01:51:15):
I've watched them before, you believe it or not, I've
watched them before. I knew how that was gonna go
Caleb Williams is going to get murdered before the end
of this year if they don't fix that problem. But anyhow,
uh to My two takeaways about the Texans are, Nico
Collins is the biggest superstar in football that nobody knows about,
or not enough people know about he is. He is

(01:51:38):
off the chart good That that touchdown when he planted
his foot and turned that angle from straight toward the
post was so they replayed that last night. I was like,
oh my god, that was quick, and Sean helped me out.
If you can, you can because you saw him play.
And I'm not making a direct comparison, but to the eyes,
to the eyes, will Anderson and Hunter off the edge

(01:52:02):
play like Lawrence Taylor with that same kind of power
and ferocity in speed. They were just mauling the Bears
last night. I couldn't believe what I was watching, how
good they played.

Speaker 2 (01:52:15):
And Hunter has been.

Speaker 4 (01:52:17):
When you have bookends like that, you know, Bosa and
Khalil Mack, When you got two, it's really hard to
deal with and the Lawrence say, yeah, I know what
you're saying. They're not Lawrence Taylor, neither one of them.
But I got news for they show signs of the
same energy and the same you can chase plays that.
My favorite thing Will Anderson, the one thing, the major thing,
is his ability to go chase and run people down.

(01:52:38):
It's scary. Lawrence Taylor did that as well. Matter of fact,
you had a better chance running at Lawrence Taylor and
getting in his legs and getting big bodies on him.
The second you ran away from him. He chased everything
down and his first step and then he had great
moves and he was he was naturally so friggin strong
and nasty.

Speaker 2 (01:52:55):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:52:56):
There by the end of this season, they're gonna make
a case that they're the best bookends in the league
combined on the same team. I'm just telling you they
are as long as they stay healthy. You had a
veteran who knows how to rush the passer, and he
got a young guy who's still learning moves, but his
just natural ability is freakish.

Speaker 2 (01:53:15):
Yes, I am with you one hundred percent.

Speaker 4 (01:53:17):
And it's hard to fix an offensive line during the
season when to go, as you know, and they're going
to have to start to get the ball out quicker
and do some things to manufacture protection. But it didn't
make it any easier that you had to deal with that,
and inside they're pretty stout now the Texans are, and
that's a It may not get any tougher for Chicago
when it comes to guys playing in your backfield this year.

Speaker 6 (01:53:39):
At least they do have a defense that's a damn
good defenses.

Speaker 4 (01:53:43):
Last night, there's no doubt. Defense was the star of
the show on both teams last night. And Caleb Williams,
if they build around him, is going to be a
good player. The guy's got a great skill set.

Speaker 2 (01:53:54):
He just got a key.

Speaker 4 (01:53:55):
Doesn't need to be a hero on every play, and
unfortunately on the Bears offense right now, he does.

Speaker 6 (01:54:00):
The most Bear thing in the history of their franchise
is to get the number one pick, get the get
get the number one pick a quarterback, draft the number
eight wide receiver, and not pick the offensive line.

Speaker 2 (01:54:10):
Bengo, that's the most That's.

Speaker 6 (01:54:12):
The most Bearsing thing you could ever do. Wait, guys,
have a great week.

Speaker 2 (01:54:15):
You too, Bill.

Speaker 4 (01:54:16):
Great stuff that they need is though eighty five Keith
Van Horn, whole bunch of old school Bears that kept
Jim McMahon and Walter Payton doing their thing and allowed
them to make plays and then played ferocious defense. That's
who Chicago is. And they've got a talented quarterback. But
you can't play running the whole time and scrambling for
your life. They're gonna have to get better up front,
more nasty, which is you're right, you got the dudes

(01:54:38):
said their receivers are good. They've got some player on
Keenan Allen that they having him on the field last
night would help you say they missed, They missed kill
one of the best route runners we have in the league.

Speaker 7 (01:54:48):
There's no question about it. All right, let's continue to
talk football. Texans with an ugly win. Let's hear from
Demico Ryans and now he felt abouts Nico Collins obviously
getting the majority of the carries, but how do they
get tanked own and Stefan Diggs more in the offenses?

Speaker 2 (01:55:02):
Next, Yeah, and sort of pro painters. How do you
get them in your house?

Speaker 4 (01:55:05):
Well, you call them or you go to the website
at sertipro dot com for your free estimate and they'll
take care of it quickly, whether it's in you want
to do it remote, you want to do it and
your home have at it. And you know that each
and every sort of pro business is individually owned and operated,
means they're in your community, they're local, they're timely, they're
treating your home as if it was their own. And

(01:55:27):
I know, like I said, and I'll continue to say it,
if somebody's endorsing a product they don't use, you shouldn't
pay it one ounce of attention to what they're telling
you because I use sort of prow as the customer first,
which allows me to tell you how good they are.
Keep that in mind when you're thinking about who you're
going to use. Talk to people who actually use the
product or use the company like I do as a

(01:55:49):
customer first, dale and sort of pro, nothing but professional.
They did my home interior and exterior fantastic, and you've
got a business, they'll do the same. It's expensive to
run and own a business. It's expensive to build a business.
It's expensive to do all the things you want to
do with your home, So why not protect it? If
you're gonna sell it, you want it to be presentable

(01:56:09):
and people to look at, Ooh, look how good that looks.
If you're gonna stay in it, you want it to
be great for your eyes and when your friends come
over say, man, who did that well?

Speaker 2 (01:56:17):
Surt of Pro.

Speaker 4 (01:56:18):
I'd like to take credit for it, but I can't
because I have a di wire. But that was all
sort of pro.

Speaker 2 (01:56:22):
Do the same. Give them a call. They are the
official painting partner of the Houston Astros.

Speaker 4 (01:56:26):
They care and they'll get it done efficiently, and it'll

Who? You're playing? Vision two? Who'd you beat? Whaleen Baptist?

Speaker 5 (01:58:23):

Speaker 2 (01:58:23):
That's like it's a man.

Speaker 4 (01:58:25):

Speaker 7 (01:58:38):
No, We're not doing that, absolutely not. And it was
a game winning drive late in the game, about twenty
seconds left, they get a touchdown pass they kicked the
extra point to win the ball game secure it suck
on that Whalem Baptist. So you're telling me you threw
out all the records. No, there's no No, the Battle

(01:59:00):
Eye twenty is gone. That's when you throw out the records.
Them and McMurray.

Speaker 2 (01:59:04):
So you guys, did you play the game on Friday night?

Speaker 5 (01:59:06):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:59:06):
Saturday?

Speaker 4 (01:59:07):
Oh you did Saturday Friday? No, we're not doing that.
I mean JV plays Thursday night too. Did you play then?

Speaker 7 (01:59:13):
I don't think JV plays Thursday anymore. I think they
play Tuesdays. Some of the JV I know play Thursday.
So wait, let's get back to you guys. Yeah, what
time was the game was it? Do you guys play
a legacy stadium?

Speaker 5 (01:59:24):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:59:25):
No, No, they're out in West Texas they played it.
Did you Jacksonfield?

Speaker 4 (01:59:28):
Do you guys drive into Allen, Texas and playing their
high school stadium?

Speaker 16 (01:59:32):
No?

Speaker 7 (01:59:32):
Sol Ross date would beat the breaks off Allen though.
I know that you're the Ross all right, damn right, Okay,
I'm you know what. I can't shrink your victory.

Speaker 2 (01:59:39):
No you can't. I want to let you celebrate it. Yeah,
good for the good for soul, Ross.

Speaker 4 (01:59:43):
You know what, I'm an honorary Soul Ross recruited by
him anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:59:48):
Yeah, and I've been through. I drive right by the
pine more often than you do. Now you do. Yeah,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (01:59:54):
Yeah, they put up fifty two points on a way
to a fifty two to fifty one victory.

Speaker 4 (01:59:59):
Great defense, it's a struggle. We had a way to
show up defense. Let's get so to me college football.
So I like the fact that UT Georgia was not impressive.
Kentucky played their ass off and that game hung in.
There need a few more points, but UT. Let's hope
that yours is fine. I gotta tell you what a
little gidda up in arch Manning when he gets out

(02:00:20):
that pocket, now he could unlike Listen, I was at a.

Speaker 2 (02:00:23):
Game for countdown.

Speaker 4 (02:00:27):
Indianapolis was playing Buffalo now standing on the sidelines, you know,
doing a countdown before and then you do the postgame
stuff and watching the game. Peyton at Manning runs a
naked boot at at about his own forty five right
around midfield. I can't remember what was spotted. Stretch play
naked boot where it's like sixty outside, where you stretch
and go like you used to show ball bootleg naked

(02:00:47):
out He's the only guy in the world that knew
his kate kept it. Dude, I'm on the sidelines. He's
running out the side with that neck back in that
long neck. I thought he was going to die of oxygen.
It took him four minutes. It was the longest run
of his career. Go look it up, asked, say, what
was the longest run of Peyton manzsquer I said, after
the gate did I cried laugh with him, as said, dude,
he goes, I need oxygen. Tag dude, he said I could.

(02:01:09):
He said, I'm out there running. I'm looking around. There
ain't nobody out here. He finally got tracked down. But
I'm thinking arch would have gone up and back at
the time, both Eli and Peyton would have gone even
close to going up. It's classic that got They got
Archie's arch got Archie's DNA because Archie Manning ran his
ass off when he was at Old Miss and his

(02:01:29):
early time in the NFL so impressive.

Speaker 2 (02:01:32):
It's nice to have a backup.

Speaker 4 (02:01:33):
Think about this, if you're Steve Starkeys and he said,
I ain't ever leaving this gig, at least anytime soon.
I got yours, who may be a top five pick
and we got a national championship hopes. And then when
I go to my bench, I got arch Manning, who
was pretty good, and I would I would imagine that
the football like he was probably pretty spot on. Yeah
in that family, right, So on a college football even

(02:01:53):
though it wasn't a lot of big matter of fact,
I think there was only one top twenty five matchup,
and like you know, Wisconsin got hammer by. They did
not show up against Alabama. They got some they got
moved around a little bit. So there was it was
Boston College and Missouri in a really good game. Bill
O'Brian's doing a good job there in Missouri's dude, Missouri's nasty.
I know they won twenty seven was the Helister seventh

(02:02:14):
ranked team in the country. Mix Yeah, so yeah, it's that.
And then you got the Solheim Cup. I expected the
Texans to win. So NFL football Sunday sometimes disappoints and
sometimes it's awesome, depending on what city you're in. So
I'm kidding. NFL was good, but I'll always more good
games in the NFL than there was in college. But
there was some some movement college football, which kind of

(02:02:38):
gets you excited. You'd love to be the number one
seed if you possibly can. LSU struggled, but they got
by South Carolina. Oklahoma took took down two lane Oklahoma
State dominated Tulsa. You look over at Michigan barely getting
by Arkansas State. Michigan sucks. They're not good. They ran
for like three hundred and fifty yards in the game. Yeah,

(02:02:59):
they're losing a couple more games. Their offenses I want to,
but they don't run it. They're not winning.

Speaker 2 (02:03:04):
Their quarterback I want Davis Warren. How many picks did
he throw?

Speaker 6 (02:03:07):
Three?

Speaker 7 (02:03:08):
I thought it was four, but yeah, he threw three
in that twenty eight eighteen over the Arkansas State Red Wolves.

Speaker 4 (02:03:14):
He's still an easy guy to root for. He missed
part of high school because he was had leukemia. He
overcame leukemia and is a walk on at Michigan, so
it's easy to root for. And he's a starting quarterback
at Michigan. What a dream come true for him. So
his story makes you hard to criticize. Yet he's playing

(02:03:36):
like a walk on that hasn't seen big time football
when it comes to throwing, and I how can he
not root for the kid?

Speaker 12 (02:03:41):
Right?

Speaker 4 (02:03:41):
What he's matter of fact, the adversity's facing now nothing
like a facing what he faced when he heard that news.
I'm sure in high school, correct, so he rooted for him.
But on the football field, Michigan is no national championship threat.
Their offense just isn't good enough. Their defense is defense
will always show up. Their offense isn't good enough. They

(02:04:02):
don't have enough playmakers.

Speaker 2 (02:04:03):
Your Trojans played them this weekend at the Big House.

Speaker 4 (02:04:07):
Yeah, and offensively we should be far better than them,
but there'll be one hundred and ten thousand people there
won't matter. I think we're gonna put it on. I
don't know how they're going to keep up team speed
wise or not. And our defense is playing lights out
football and we didn't play this past week. I don't think. Yeah,
we got to buy a week head into Michigan. I'll

(02:04:27):
take that all day. Oregon dominated Oregon State forty nine
to fourteen. Dylan Gabriel's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (02:04:34):
They did.

Speaker 4 (02:04:35):
You saw the fu who finally saw that great team speed,
that Oregon has big playability.

Speaker 2 (02:04:41):
I mean, I'm gonna tease it.

Speaker 7 (02:04:42):
But man to the state of Florida and their college
football programs outside of Miami, down bad.

Speaker 2 (02:04:49):
The rumors will start.

Speaker 4 (02:04:51):
Mike Norvel and Billy Napier are going to face a
lot of It's time to move on and think about this.
Until Georgia kicked their ass last year, Floridas Day was undefeated.

Speaker 2 (02:05:01):
Yeah, and look how.

Speaker 4 (02:05:03):
Quickly and what I tell you about DJ Dude, I said,
I reserve the right to not pick Florida State.

Speaker 2 (02:05:09):
He's a he's a big, good, just a guy.

Speaker 5 (02:05:13):
He is.

Speaker 4 (02:05:13):
He's just does not make you better. He hasn't gotten
better since high school. No, he just hasn't. No, and
Florida there'll be a coaching change after this. Key and
Billy's a good dude man, and so is in Norville.
Novel may get a little more bandwidth and leeway Billion.
Florida is gonna have a new coach by the time

(02:05:34):
season at this continues.

Speaker 2 (02:05:36):
I was reading some UH sports stories yesterday during the
day about it.

Speaker 4 (02:05:40):
You're gonna start hearing it this week about fan base
is going to start. They're already called for Billion to
be fired. Yeah it's not good. Yeah, it is not good.
And Florida State, the difference between last year and this year.
Does a quarterback really make that much difference? You're seeing
it at Florida State.

Speaker 2 (02:05:54):
Look at look what Jordan Travis did. And now look
at DJ NGO La la, and he's just just don't
don't discount play makers in leadership. It's crazy. And at
that position right now, they ain't got it.

Speaker 7 (02:06:04):
You of h's also getting a victory taking down Rice.
They got to buy you bucket back? Is that what
it's called the BUYU bucket? There once was a man
from Nantucket. Yes, I'm gonna stop right there. You know
that rhyme, don't you. There once was a man from
Nantucket and you could fill the rest if you want,

(02:06:26):
and you look it up when during the break, I'm
not gonna on a computer my phone.

Speaker 2 (02:06:31):
I don't lead you to dirty stuff too, Okay, you don't.
That's my Michelle, stop it. I just say him on TV.

Then what we're doing, we're saying, let's go at the
expense of our guys at Rice though too. You don't
want to leave them out, you know what I'm saying. Oh,
we'll go ahead. You guys have to say about Rice
thet you know, man good school, great school. Uh huh,
great school. Gotta be Billy Fritz got him another victory.
I love Willi Fritz.

Speaker 7 (02:07:12):
They're they're gonna do some fun things because you speaking
of Willi Fritz, obviously he used to be the head
coach at you know or not the university and Sam
Houston State. Did you see who's Sam Houston State hosted
on Saturday?

Speaker 2 (02:07:25):
Was it again? Hawaii?

Speaker 10 (02:07:26):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (02:07:27):
Could you imagine going from Honolulu to freaking Huntsville?

Speaker 4 (02:07:32):
Yeah, you get off, you get off, the plane's still
going to drive the house. Yeah, I imagine if you're
Sam Houston State, you're saying, we would rather make that
trip there. Let us go to Honolulu the Rainbow Warriors,
poor poor guys, long ass trip. But to go to Huntsville, Texas,
that's a that's a tough one, there's no doubt about it.

(02:07:54):
And by the way, speaking of recruiting, how about our
guy Kelvin Samson landing the recruit last week top recruit?

Speaker 6 (02:07:59):

Hi, let's go.

Speaker 2 (02:09:47):
Get it.

Speaker 7 (02:09:47):
Back out to the phone lines, Talking Texans OGQ in
the mix what's happening.

Speaker 10 (02:09:52):
Hey man, what's going on? So congratulations Brian on you
our victory. Man, I'm I'm proudly so over outs. Man,
I'm I'm a big fan.

Speaker 7 (02:10:01):
Now appreciated OGQ. You can be an honorary alumnio every day.

Speaker 10 (02:10:04):
Baby, I appreciate that. Say man, I'm calling to say
I want to give my man stefa DeSUS props.

Speaker 15 (02:10:14):
Man.

Speaker 10 (02:10:14):
A lot a lot of people had a lot of
negative stuff to say about him when they make the deal.
Nobody here be a diva and a cancer in the
locker room and all that, and all I've seen so far.
You know, he talking a little too little short touchdowns
on the first game, but he's been on every celebration
for everybody else. He's been ultimate because of a teammate

(02:10:36):
and he's, uh, he showing me no signs of what
I heard. And I just want to give him his
props for that man, because Lord knows that he had
come in with that diva attitude and become a little cancer.
Oh you'd hear awful that ways.

Speaker 1 (02:10:52):
But now that he's doing good.

Speaker 10 (02:10:53):
Nobody don't want to say anything. And I want to say, hey, man,
keep up what you're doing the targets coming. He haven't
had that maybe target, but he not a player, and
he just show him why the Miko made them a
captain man, and he's ma and a team man. So
a lot of times people don't want to give people
they pops why they when they do good, they always

(02:11:15):
look for the negative be in it.

Speaker 4 (02:11:17):
So he's been outstanding. Thanks man, appreciate. Yeah, it's naming
a team captain. Goes right off to tell you how
they felt about him and how they trust him. And
I don't expect there to be any any issue. Didn't
like I said, the first test is okay, you don't
play a great offensive game and he doesn't get overly involved.

Speaker 2 (02:11:37):
How would he respond? He responded, just fine, thank you?
So yeah, listen.

Speaker 4 (02:11:42):
Receivers are always a hot button when it comes to
oh man, they want the ball all the time.

Speaker 2 (02:11:48):
They talk to me that that's who they are.

Speaker 4 (02:11:50):
Would you rather a guy be afraid and meek and
submissive and not ready to go play football?

Speaker 2 (02:11:54):
Like I like Diggs.

Speaker 4 (02:11:55):
He's gonna be fine, and I'm with OGQ. He's coming
here and done exactly what they wanted and we're only
two games in. He'll get a thousand yards this year.
He'll play really good football. And I don't think you're
going to see any of the I can't believe I'm here.
He's gonna be fine. Yeah, and I think he's okay
making sure that he's been in the league long enough
to even help Nico Collins get better, not just better

(02:12:17):
because you got another big time number one on one side,
but just during the week and you're walking through things
that only a veteran knows that a rookie wants. Or
when I say rookie, a young star Collins, what is
third year? Now are we on a fourth year?

Speaker 16 (02:12:29):
Now?

Speaker 2 (02:12:30):
Third year? Maybe a third year?

Speaker 4 (02:12:31):
Yeah, and he's he's really elevating into a number one guy.
So but you can never know enough. I'm sitting here
listening to Sam Donald talked yesterday or they were talking
about what Sam Donald told the broadcast crew that he
now Rock Perty's been in the league.

Speaker 2 (02:12:46):
This was his third year, Nicolls fourth fourth year.

Speaker 4 (02:12:49):
Okay, so it's fourth year, but he's really in the
infancy of him being a dominant player with you know,
last year got better and now he's he's performed like
a true number one, playing like a man possessed and physical.
But Donald was talking about he didn't know how to study.
Even he goes, what do I learned? The most of
the thing I learned most is from Rock Purty and
in San Francisco how to study, How to study, I

(02:13:09):
mean studied, But he thought looking at the playbook, study
a little.

Speaker 2 (02:13:13):
Bit, watching tape and then going home and just applying
it to your thing. He said.

Speaker 4 (02:13:17):
Rock Purty took it to a different level of teaching
him what to look for and how to look for it,
and he could see the result in Minnesota least the
first two weeks. Yeah, and he's less careless with the
ball and playing smarter, so having an event. And Donald's
been in the league longer than Purty has. But you
can still learn from those guys who get it. And
Stefan Diggs will be is a great person to lean
on with the rest of these guys, but also gives

(02:13:38):
you a chance where he's a star player at the position.
I don't think you're getting any problem out of him.
Team Captain, highest honor you get from a team. Yeah,
he's being named captain. Andy Andy, good morning.

Speaker 22 (02:13:50):
Well with Donald's saying that he basically threw the Jets
coaching staff under the water. I mean, my goodness, it's
you know, once you get to the best level, coaching
means so much. And uh, if Donald said that, that
means they didn't help them.

Speaker 10 (02:14:06):
At all in New York.

Speaker 22 (02:14:08):
I mean they let them on his own to figure
it out. You can't do that, especially when a guy's struggling.
But I'll tell you what, after two weeks, it's two,
we're two and zero. But it's whole hung The offensive
line looked like their past blocking with the starters last
week compared to last year was all the different.

Speaker 2 (02:14:32):
What use they had it looked.

Speaker 22 (02:14:33):
Better last year. And and Tonsil, I told you guys
that they shouldn't never up that dude, I don't know
why they did.

Speaker 10 (02:14:44):
I really don't.

Speaker 2 (02:14:46):
And then I don't know.

Speaker 22 (02:14:49):
If you look at if you look at every every position,
is anything jumping out besides Nico Collins, is anything jumping
out of you?

Speaker 4 (02:14:56):
And you're going, wow, you're talking about offensively. Oh yeah,
there's a lot of things that are wow for me.
I Well, one is is Joe Mixon when he's on
the fields. Wow, he's a hell of a player. And
I mean I'm judging the whole body of two games
with the work. His first game he has the best
running back in the league, and then getting banged up
and only getting nine carries and the game dictated that

(02:15:18):
he didn't hand the ball off. On defense, Will andersond
Neil Hunter are disrupting damn near every play. The back
end is knocking the knocking the hell out of people.
Linebackers are running oh I, and the kicker is the
MVP two weeks in. He's been phenomenal and that's not good.

Speaker 22 (02:15:35):
When you're gonna go up against your teams. You got
to put the ball on the end ze.

Speaker 4 (02:15:38):
Right, But there are beating But there is something to
be said Andy to win games when you're not playing
good football and offensively. Yesterday they were a pedestrian. They
beat you know, they went on the road and beat
the Colts. They're gonna get tested as it goes on.
But I think they're playing defensively, they're playing better than
you may be giving him credit for.

Speaker 2 (02:15:56):
There's a lot to like on the defensive side of
the ball.

Speaker 22 (02:16:00):
Got a rookie quarterbacks on a second game. They should
the differensive backs aren't glued to nobody.

Speaker 4 (02:16:07):
Well, we'll give me the passing gard I mean they
they now. Listen, the first game, they gave up too
many big plays, and I think that was obvious and
I know and I damn well know that they needed
to fix it, and so do they. But game two
they didn't give up a lot of big plays. Now, man,
they were knocking them around.

Speaker 22 (02:16:24):
It just seems like it just seems like Stingley's not
glued to players.

Speaker 2 (02:16:29):
All right, let me let's go around the league.

Speaker 6 (02:16:31):
Brother.

Speaker 4 (02:16:31):
You give us a lot of opinion, and I like it,
and we love having you on and we have a
lot of laughs and get good stuff out of you.
But let's look, okay, are you are you getting? What
are you getting from Baltimore? What are we getting from
Kansas City? Did not play great football yesterday. Offensively, they
were suspect, and I.

Speaker 22 (02:16:48):
Think a lot of that is sean because nobody's playing
hardly anything in the preseason.

Speaker 2 (02:16:51):
I agreed, So what do we What did you expect
two games in though?

Speaker 4 (02:16:55):
With the pre Like you just answered the question, Kansas City,
the Rams are going to Baltimore zing to Cincinnati's going
too damn two?

Speaker 2 (02:17:02):
And oh and you haven't seen their best football yet.

Speaker 22 (02:17:05):
Yeah, I know, I know that's the good part, And
I think the good part is also that the coaches
can lean on them because look at all the dam
penalties and the line blocking yesterday on both rushing and
passing was was c plus at best. And you got
so much money caught up in three.

Speaker 5 (02:17:22):
Of those guys.

Speaker 4 (02:17:24):
And Andy, if you if you keep getting penalized, and
you keep and you keep the quarterback on the run,
and you keep, you know, with these these pre snap penalties,
and you get to the red zone or well they're
not even getting the reds on.

Speaker 2 (02:17:36):
They're kicking fifty yard field goals.

Speaker 4 (02:17:37):
If you keep kicking field goals and you run into
a team like Kansas City or a team that's winning, yeah,
you're you're not gonna win that game. They're gonna have
to cut that back. But fortunately for them, they've done
just enough two weeks in a row to get to two.

Speaker 2 (02:17:51):
And oh and I damn.

Speaker 4 (02:17:52):
We'll tell you when they're watching tape, they're not in
they're not loving the entire overall part of what they're doing,
but they're loving pieces of it together. I'll take two
to zero like this any day of the week.

Speaker 22 (02:18:03):
That is true. I guess I just wanted to come
out like a bowl to light.

Speaker 2 (02:18:07):
I get you, They're going to get better.

Speaker 22 (02:18:09):
I think Slovic's play Colin has been a little bit
more conservative for my part too.

Speaker 4 (02:18:13):
Yeah, yesterday it felt like they're playing not to lose
because they knew that the offensive the Bears wasn't gonna
get it. And then they get like, let's get out
of here with a win and Will will will, it
will adjust. But the pre snap penalty is to Tunsel's
got to stop this. He's a great player, but he's
got to stop. It's maddening. It's frigging maddening. You can't
call a guy one of the three best in the business.
It's like me saying, hey man, what a great quarterback,

(02:18:35):
but he just he just throws the ball to the
other team too much as a left tackle. Great player,
but you can't. I can't call you the best of
the second best in the league. If every single game
penalty after penalty after penalty, they're going to lose a
game because of it.

Speaker 2 (02:18:50):
This year they just are and.

Speaker 4 (02:18:54):
Damn right, damn right, and they haven't got a handle
on that position with him jumping off sides in eight years.

Speaker 2 (02:19:00):
So it's got to get better. Thanks brother, appreciate you.
Let's get the break. We'll continue this discussion next.

Speaker 7 (02:19:08):
Live out there for the Sewn Salisbury Show continued Larry
and Stafford. What's up, Larry, be Lema, Shawn?

Speaker 9 (02:19:18):
What's going on?

Speaker 6 (02:19:18):
Man?

Speaker 5 (02:19:20):
Hope y'all had as much fun.

Speaker 9 (02:19:21):
As I had last night.

Speaker 1 (02:19:22):
Hey, Sean, Look, I'm a big proponent of that.

Speaker 9 (02:19:26):
I believe that these airways and your show does a
damn good job of it. Should it be more interactive
and let the fans come in and really, you know,
voice and opinion and talk about stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:19:40):
Agreed, That's why we do it.

Speaker 9 (02:19:43):
But sometimes you need to hang up on people like
Andy Ass. I don't know what kind of football he
was watching, But if you're saying that you didn't see
no wow out of anybody last night, Andy, I don't
know what the hell them textures was hitting them? Got
them damn band ass from the moment they got an NRG.
That defense over there had seven sacks and two interceptions

(02:20:07):
and should have probably had more. And so when you
say that you don't see But then you come right
back and you answer your old damn question by saying, well,
they didn't really play a lot in the preseason this
is what football looks like in the first two weeks
of the season. But having said that, you are sitting

(02:20:29):
that two and zero last night was a spectacular showing
in Houston on National TV. Of course, we want to
see more fireworks out of our boys man on offense,
but that's gonna come because you got the trigger man
that is the man, and when you got dudes like
Nico and Tank and Stepan and Joe, it's just a

(02:20:52):
matter of time that there's no rest to get to
where we're gonna be in week seventeen when we get
ready to take Guy asked the New Orleans.

Speaker 10 (02:21:02):
But here's the thing that I'm.

Speaker 9 (02:21:03):
Gonna tell you that I really truly enjoyed it by
last night. If you're starting to not still believe in
Henry Tory's tour, if you're still one of them dudes
that's still trying to figure out what Jayleen P three
is and all that, your ass might want to go
to football one on one because them boys was bringing
something that we hadn't seen over there on Kirby in

(02:21:25):
a long time.

Speaker 3 (02:21:26):
Beeleima.

Speaker 9 (02:21:27):
When you start putting the.

Speaker 10 (02:21:28):
Hat to hat and you start.

Speaker 9 (02:21:30):
Making them other teams quarterback go sit over there on
the bench and look up at this blue sky and
wondering how do I get my ass out of Houston
as fast as I can. That's the kind of football
that Demico Ryan is over there teaching them boys. Man,
you got in love with Will Anderson and Daniel and
all them boys are doing.

Speaker 24 (02:21:48):
Man.

Speaker 9 (02:21:49):
And to say that we are sitting here at two
zero and everybody else in the division is looking up
at I as signed to catch up because they.

Speaker 1 (02:21:58):
Two games down called in the Monday.

Speaker 9 (02:22:01):
After football winning talking about I don't see no wow,
and and Stankly ain't sticking to nobody when he had
an interception. That just makes me realize that Suns said,
hang up on some of your ass. It's a great
night for me because I didn't get out of the
parking light to after midnight. So if you know, if
I was still in that parking lot around midnight, you

(02:22:21):
know what your boy was over there.

Speaker 4 (02:22:23):
Well, yeah, appreciate Larry, Hey, I told you at the
beginning game. Yeah Toatoa's that's a backup linebacker. Yeah, they're
about twenty eight team standing in line of like to
have what I love about their defense? And I've said this,
they they are they are? They run? Man, you gotta
have sideline. The sideline people. They cover a lot of

(02:22:45):
frigging ground and they're not hitting to you, they are
hitting through you. And they I mean they are frigging
thumping people. I thought their defense was great last night. Yeah,
and they'll get better. And you don't ever want to
throw anybody under the water.

Speaker 2 (02:22:59):
You sure don't.

Speaker 4 (02:23:00):
You sure don't, Bobby say be the bus but not
the water, right. But I'm who Bobby Slovic. I love
Andy in his pronunciation Larry spot On. Though there's a
ton of things to love two weeks and what's still
love in Cincinnati's still love in Baltimore? Well we still
love in Los Angeles. With the rams, you get, you get.
The point here is that it is And I'm just

(02:23:21):
telling you we're still playing preseason football on the normal
time frame. Defenses are always going to be ahead of them,
and this team's not going to be able to help
but score when these guys, when when it's when all
the things start to come together. Man, you're gonna say
that abou Kansas City. We're gonna say that about Joe
Burrows ty and they're gonna come together and I will
tell you one last thing about this is when your

(02:23:42):
quarterback throws for two sixty and we look at it
like it was just a pedestrian night for him, You're
onto something.

Speaker 2 (02:23:50):
Speaking of Kansas City, some breaking news. I just got
the notification on my phone.

Speaker 7 (02:23:53):
Uh, per Ian Rappaport Isaiah Pacheco, running back for Kansas City,
fractured a fibula.

Speaker 2 (02:23:59):
Gotta be out for quote unquote real time. That's a
well faction. Maybe that's going to be a minute now.

Speaker 4 (02:24:06):
Hey, and he instilled a great, big piece of physicality
on that team at the running back position. But you
know what, if there's any team that can overcome it,
set to go on ir actually right, any team that
can overcome it, it's it's them.

Speaker 9 (02:24:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:24:20):
I mean they've won offensively, they've won quarterback wise, they've
won defenses. Just like, all right, who's who's who's going
to be accountable for getting this stuff done? Now that
we're going to have to increase our depth there. So
I trust the Kansas City's going to be fine. But
I see a lot of things to love. Penalty has
got to be cut down, the kickers off the charts,
the defense is running around. I'm going to tell you
right now, you think you've got a head start to

(02:24:40):
the to the edge, your your ass is gonna get
run down on this defense. And I love the fact
that they are popping your ass and and they are
bringing the noise every now and again. I'm okay with
a personal foul penalty because you got a little over ambitious.
As long as it's not a dirty hit, you know
what I'm saying. Just here, like on the side, Well,
the hit that he put on the quarterback on the
sideline was not Petrie, but who put the hit on him?

(02:25:04):
Why am I losing my mind?

Speaker 2 (02:25:05):
Lie back Alshire?

Speaker 4 (02:25:08):
And then after you put the hit on him, because
some officials would have called that a late hit even
though it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (02:25:13):
It was a clean hit.

Speaker 4 (02:25:13):
And then to stand on there among forty guys who
came to Caleb Williams rescue, like, well you want to
push in the face. Now he's gonna get fired by
the NFL. But that's okay. It's like, dude, you who
who am I fighting next?

Speaker 9 (02:25:23):
Dude?

Speaker 2 (02:25:23):
Push this guy?

Speaker 7 (02:25:24):
He turned to this dude twenty yards down the sidelines.
They're they're chasing his ass out. He getting pushed back
and he wants to fight everybody. He punched Roshawn Johnson
Rashan Johnson literally was like trying to help as he's.

Speaker 2 (02:25:37):
Looked around, like what the hell did I just saw bears.

Speaker 4 (02:25:40):
But that's but that's their metage opposite Color Jersey. They're
hitting it whether it's moving or not, and the offense
will come to fruition where they're scorning in the red
zone and making big plays. So a two weeks end
of the season, I'm pleased. Got to stop the pre
snap penalties. Tuns has been around, he knows better. Yeah,
now can he fix it? Eight years into what he

(02:26:00):
leads the world in prestat penalties. But don't let that
be the reason, controllable reason you want to lose the
game because somebody beat you. If you're gonna lose, you
just got beat or a tip ball, something happened, you
got beat. You don't want to lose it by pre
stat penalties. Thank goodness. Your kicker can kick a ninety
yard field goal, okay, because he doesn't miss from fifty
yards out.

Speaker 2 (02:26:20):
But that's got to get better.

Speaker 4 (02:26:22):
This team is there's nobody in the AFC outside of
Kansas City right now that would be favored over the
Texans on a neutral site right now, and then maybe
they shouldn't be. Kansas City be the only one they
should not in Baltimore. It doesn't matter who else. Nobody
should be favored over the Texans on a neutral site.
We're not gonna find it out because there is no
neutral site right now. But you get my point. They're

(02:26:43):
gonna get better two and oh's better. No one to
last year and look what happened then, and nobody should
throw each other under the water. That's kind of like
the saying of I had a buddy once said, hey,
that's water under the dam. I did hear buddy saying,
that's sean, that's just water under the dam. Okay, I
got you. And he thought that was he was like

(02:27:05):
a road with it. He said, yeah, maybe out of
the bridge too, But who's counting.

Speaker 1 (02:28:29):
War Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 4 (02:28:35):
A full on bare knuckle fist fight. Okay, all thirty
two teams who we send in as our rep I
don't know. I don't know anything about their can it
their their martial arts background?

Speaker 12 (02:28:48):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (02:28:49):
I can tell you this.

Speaker 4 (02:28:50):
It's more than likely going to be a linebacker. Um
for me, it's Kymie Fairbairn. He can hit you from
fifty five yards.

Speaker 5 (02:29:00):
He can.

Speaker 2 (02:29:00):
Hey, look, they didn't say kicks were illegal. Hey what
do you think though? Really? Henry to Toe is he
in the conversation? He's got to because he's got that
Samoan in him. Those dudes are not.

Speaker 4 (02:29:11):
Oh dude, you got to take an elephant gun to
shoot us to stop with someone. I mean, I went
to s He had a lot of right, a lot
of my buddies. Dude, they are fiercely loyal and once
they decide it's time for you to go down. Yeah,
you here's what you want to be in the alley
fight on their team. Okay, you don't want to be
against the that the samoan tongue in Hawaiian connection, you

(02:29:33):
know what I'm saying. So, just from the eye test,
I don't know who like there may be somebody in hell.
You may find a guy like Petrie who's a Yeah,
he's a freaking dog, a big time dog who may
be a fifth degree black belt.

Speaker 2 (02:29:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:29:45):
I'm just talking about from the eye test, which you see,
I think it'd be Will Anderson seems like such a
nice guy, but he's such a dog on the field.
You know what I'm saying, right, So I'm wondering if
it gets right down to it now, Listen, I don't
want to dog the offensive lineman because if they if
they get into your body, you're done, you know, and
they squeeze you bear. But in a like in a
bare knuckle like a bar fight, they might have to

(02:30:07):
be quick enough to handle somebody who's like six five
two forty five. Yeah, I'm thinking outside inside linebacker. That's
where I start. Yeah, Now it could be wrong. I mean,
maybe Van Ginkle from Minnesota. Maybe he's the guy. Right,
Maybe it's Van Ginkle. I just like saying his name.
Who's the rep for the I mean, may save that
for tomorrow, okay, because I just want to tease it.

Speaker 7 (02:30:29):
I'm serious. I want to know who our rep would
be and the team, the team knows.

Speaker 4 (02:30:33):
The guys on the team right now, they'd be oh, dude,
told you don't want to be part of that cat
there's that. Every team has that one dog that you're like.
Joey Browner was it? He was like a sixth degree
black belt and when a fight broke out on the field,
everybody separated when Joey came running, He's like, uh, no
part of that.

Speaker 2 (02:30:48):
Could it be a sneaky guy like darry A woomba walle.

Speaker 4 (02:30:52):
Maybe that's what I'm saying, So just give it some
thought overnight, a good tease for tomorrow. Or could it
be a guy like Jimmy Ward? And no, no, I
don't think so.

Speaker 2 (02:31:01):
What about uh? Foloh good luckily? Right here we go.
We've already tested you and quizzed you on this. Here
we go. We had to call his name is Anthony?
He said, it's what's his name? How do you say?
How you guys? Wo's his name?

Speaker 11 (02:31:13):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (02:31:13):
Tota as he's that guy.

Speaker 7 (02:31:18):
Yeah, I'm going to tell you right now if that
does could be lornso fatakassie.

Speaker 2 (02:31:22):
Yeah, I'm telling you that.

Speaker 4 (02:31:24):
Thank you that one right al No, al here might
knock about four dudes out and just start looking for five, six,
seven and eight. He may be that's a that's a
hell of a that's a hell of a.

Speaker 2 (02:31:36):
Choice. I'm just curious.

Speaker 4 (02:31:38):
But I guarantee you on the team in that locker room.
We all when you're in that locker room, you know
there's that one dude you say, uh no, what if
it's Tommy Towns in the punter.

Speaker 2 (02:31:48):
Here's why I do know.

Speaker 4 (02:31:49):
Probably too white. Huh basic, Yeah, I figure that's not
going to happen. But that's got to be racist. White
white guys can't fight. What about Davis Mills?

Speaker 2 (02:31:56):
Mills could be but he's giving you a really big
part of his body to hit. Just don't throw oneto
the water, dude. Just don't win by a neck, I
mean by a by a nose. Sorry. Shout out to
a Direct TV for bringing back yes after you completely
buried him and hated him. Custom out. Yeah, I'm really
proud of him. Thanks.

Speaker 7 (02:32:16):
And also jack of my price up eight bucks? Oh gosh,
after you bought your twelfth burrito this morning?

Speaker 2 (02:32:23):
Uh meal preface actually, but I'll tell you what, what's
that energy drake?

Speaker 9 (02:32:29):
That?

Speaker 2 (02:32:29):
Oh the monster? Oh you'll you'll, you'll monster it up
there every now now you push me on.

Speaker 7 (02:32:34):
I push it back on that because I've been trying
to even though going to the grocery store you buy
five things and it's like three thousand dollars. I'm still
trying to be, you know, pretty conservative for my money.
You're being judicious with your coin, trying right being smart. Uh,
Raghetty on the mound for the Stros tonight against you, Darvish.

Speaker 2 (02:32:49):
He's not my darbish, he's you. Yeah, he's not there, Darvas,
he's you darbish. How do you think.

Speaker 4 (02:32:56):
Astro's win? Yeah, Ragedty eight strikeouts, Well, it can't be
worse than his last start. And a really good look
at another great ballpark, just pet Co Park.
