Speaker 1 (00:17):
Salisbury, Olby Salisbury, Houston.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Okay, let's do this.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Sean Salisbury, the to USC Truth, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Brian Lima, go Lobos. This is the Sewan Salisbury Show.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Tigers even the Alds with the Guardians. They win last
night three nothing. The Kansas City Royals beat the Yankees
four to two. They also even up their A l
ds and then a Monday night football action, the Kansas
City Chiefs stay undefeated. They beat New Orleans twenty six
to thirteen. With the Texans getting ready to uh prepare
(00:58):
for their game against the Patriots, one of the big
question marks is the injuries to Nico Collins the injuries
to Joe Mixon. Demiko Ryans spoke to the media yesterday
and gave us an update on Joe Mixon. He hasn't
played in a couple of games due to an ankle
spring on that hip drop tackle that was not called.
This is Demiko Ryans talking about Joe Mixon.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
But for Joe and his injury, will still evaluate that week.
The week we don't know as of right now, I
can't give you that answer, but we'll see how Joe
improves over the week. He's definitely been improving week the week,
he's been improving. He's doing a great job attacking his rehab.
So we'll see where he is as the week goes on.
Bet Cam and Dara did a really nice job with,
(01:39):
you know, the role that they've been asked to take
on with us missing Joe and mixing missing Damien like
they've They've done a good job on the touchdown run
first and foremost. It starts with the block and that's
probably our most well blocked run of the entire day.
So a very clean run right there for for Cam
to get into the end zone.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, that's also Demiko.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
It's talking about the job that Cam Akers and darry
A Goomba Wallee have done for the Texans. Joe Mixon
played in Week one, has not played since, uh he
went out against the Chicago Bears in that Sunday night game.
Cam Akers has stepped in along with a Goomble walle
(02:20):
because Damian Pierce has been hurt. Can this offense continue
to find ways to win without Joe Mixon in the backfield.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, I'd say they can. It's obviously a lot tougher
sled and it makes you know going into a game
and they've been efficient may not be the right word,
they've been at least the last couple of games. And
with the dual action they've used there at least you
gotta at least respect it. Does that make sense? Now?
(02:51):
Joe Mixon is a whole different bandwidth to the game
because of his ability catching the ball out of the
backfield and the physical run game. That's what to see.
That's to me what they lose. They whose that physical
pounding of inside outside can do both in mixing and
then even if he doesn't touch the ball, they have
to respect play action because he's so good at running
(03:11):
the football. So can they continue to win? Yeah, as
long as defense continues to pound on the other quarterback
getting go nine to thirty and your quarterback plays like
like he always does. But you're gonna run into a
quarterback who's gonna who's gonna play really good football like
Stroud does. You're gonna you're gonna get a guy that
has a great game or two and then what so
(03:32):
you know, you gotta get in. It's not just the
running backs. There's got to be with Mixing. He can
bring his own blocker. And what I mean by that
sometimes the guy left unblocked Mixing can take him on himself.
You're you're dealing with. What they have now is is
the depth. Thank goodness for the that they got these
two bodies to do it without Pierce. Now, I don't
know what Pierce is, how long he's gonna be out
(03:54):
as well, but yes, they can continue to win. Do
I think they can roll through the playoffs with this
kind of running game or when it gets to play
in the toughest part of the schedule, and and roll
through it without Mixing Because eventually, what you're gonna say is, okay,
how do we if we can just contain Stroud, they
can't beat it. That's the whole key. You just add
more pressure to Stroud's game. When you're you're an average
(04:18):
running team, that's what you are. Now they've got a
little more out of it and key They've had some
key runs and some key plays the last but the
consistence of sustaining one hundred and twenty five yards and
thirty touches a week is not it. You're gonna put
the ball in Stroud's hands when it matters. Hell, they
did that probably a little too much at the end
of the game when they probably should have handed it off.
(04:38):
That got the you know, intentional grounding call. So yeah
they can, Brian, but you're dealing with They're going to
run into a lot of good players at the position
that can put up numbers. But you're asking the defense
now to step up even more, limit penalties and have
Stroud continue to play like a you know, an all
pro every single week. If you do not have that
(04:59):
band at the offense and Nico Collins getting him back
out there is going to be important. So yeah, they can.
It just makes the task tougher. If I took Derrick
Henry away from Baltimore, that's a tough it's a tougher job, right, Yeah,
no doubt. So even his threat, Look what he did
last week. He was held the thirty yards I think
the majority of the game. His final carry fifty plus
(05:20):
yards gets him in, they kick a field, go and win.
So that's what that brings you. Even if you're not
having a good running game, you have the ability with
those type of players to bust it wide open. Look
what's happened to the forty nine ers without McCaffrey, even
though they still commit to run, it's still right. And
so look what Derrick Henry's done. He's jumped right into
the MVP talk. So that matters. And any time we say, well,
(05:43):
it's a throwing league, it is. But I got news
for it. There's no quarterback in the league that thinks
that they can survive without being able to efficiently run
the football, and teams that don't run it efficiently eventually
go by the wayside because it's just too much on
your quarterback.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Damian Pierce has been dealing with a hamstring injury. He
was questionable going into the game against Buffalo. Obviously he
did not play, So I'm assuming it's gonna.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Be soft tissue lingers brother, A lot of times, A
lot of times it lingers.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I don't have any audio here from any updates, but
just from reading from CBS Sports he was dealing with
that hamstring injury. I'm assum he's gonna beday today and
we'll see how the practice goes this week for him.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Well, it doesn't while he's improving. Does it feel to
you in Domico's comments that they're tread and lightly as
well that it doesn't feel like Joe'll be ready to
play this week either. Does that do feeling you? Again,
maybe I'm completely wrong and he's trying to soft sell it,
and if you get him, it's a big bonus.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I thought, honestly, I thought he had a good shot
of playing this past weekend. But that just shows me
that they're not rushing him back at all, and.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You probably and there's a good chance you may end up.
I don't know if they've announced that they usually they
would on a day off like today, yeah, or on Monday,
that you're gonna get a different quarterback. Possibly in New England.
Drake May starts right, teams like to feast on, I mean,
good teams will feast on first time quarterbacks to play.
But there's also that the quarterback sometime in their first start,
(07:09):
they're like, I don't even know what I'm doing. So
you just go play football and you kind of you're naiven.
You play well, You play pretty well.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, you do.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Like Jach Wilson, Yes, the Texans last year. Right, it
wasn't his first start, but he just kind of went
out and balled.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Right, and then May can throw it. So we'll see
if they make that switch. But you can beat New England,
you can keep that team into the teams, yeah, you
without no doubt. So maybe that's the thought that you know,
Dimiko's not gonna take it for granted, but I would
think that I'd sure love to have him. I'm not
going to rush him back, but if he's a ninety
five percent or better, I got to play him, yeah,
because you don't want to go into New England and
(07:42):
lose a game like this because of it, you were
inefficient offensively.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
And this is rare territory for Joe Mixon. He's been
one of the most durable backs.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Well, thirteen games has been his minimum in the last
six or seven years. Fourteen Yeah, yeah, it's yeah. He's
every y, He's every thing you want to back. He
can catch it, run it, block it in any place.
He's durable. And it's a bummer that it's happened here
over that play which didn't get penalized either.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I don't believe he's yeah, he did not. It did
not get penalized.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
He has played in at least fourteen games every season
of his career except for twenty twenty with the COVID
and all the other stuff that was going on with that.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You have to account for him when you put in
your game. I mean, when I say account for him,
you you have to focus on Mixing because people will
go back and watch the first game and say, if
that guy's in the lineup, this is how they want
to play offense. Yeah, it's a good it's a really
nice luxury for them with Joe Mixon, and I still
contend it was one of the best offseason gets. But
he's got to get back on the field and get
(08:45):
healthy because you need him.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, you definitely need him. I mean you've literally seen
the difference that the run games in all teams. Yeah, yeah,
there's no doubt. Look what Aaron Jones has done for Minnesota.
Oh my gosh, Look look what he's done. Hell cook
last week for Buffalo Yeah damn here. I mean, he
kept them in a game with the way and the
way they were pushing the line of scrimmage with some
of his runs. So yeah, you have to have him, Uh,
(09:09):
Joe Mixing, because he's one of He's he's a dog
man and you gotta have him.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
You know what dogs got to eat?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, they do, you know what else does what else?
