You know what you do?

Speaker 5 (01:30):
You post post every day. You got to show up
and show out, man. Yeah, I mean, well, let me
ask you this the Kentucky Derby. If a horse is
a little under the weather, they sit them down for
the Derby nole with fluids and running right, they either
run him or send them a glue factory.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Well, let's hope it's not number two.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
Yeah, exactly, stut them up, Yeah, exactly after the after
their time's done, you know what, get them a little
of ivermectin and let's roll, or just let them bang
for the rest of their life. That's what a great gig.
You three. You just won the triple crown and now
we're gonna arrest you. You just get to bang the
rest of your life. What a king at his court?
That is what a nice life. Yeah, you ain't lying,

(02:09):
but you know, hey, you just got to post. Yeah,
that's all I'm saying. You know, the battle is showing up, right,
and then you just compete and then you just take
care of business.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Exactly right there. I was gonna say you stand on business.
You can't just take care of but you got to
stand on it. I know we're gonna talk a lot
of Texans. We'll also discuss Quinn you weres headed to
the draft for the Texas Longhorns. But man, real quick,
shout out Houston Rockets. They're twenty seven to twelve sean.
They won again last night Denver Nuggets were without Jokic.

(02:39):
He's got some inflammation in his right elbow or right
shoulder in one of those. But uh, man, Jalen Green
thirty four points and you had himself a poster in
that game throwing it down. And then you also have
Alprin Schengoon twenty points, nine rebounds, eight assists, Fred van
Vlitt sixteen point eight assist, a Men Thompson eleven and

(03:02):
then coming off the bench, Cam Whitmore sixteen points.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
So, man, they are playing some good basket. Yeah, isn't it?
You know, we talked about it.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
Man, Maybe they're another year away from being a major
contender in the West. Are we sure they're not there now?
They are currently the two seed? Yeah, So why aren't
they there now?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
I think? Man?

Speaker 4 (03:20):
If Jalen Green continues to play this way and he's
the guy. If he's a guy that's gonna put you
put up twenty five to thirty points a game, then yeah,
they're gonna be a contender.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Doesn't every great team have one of those? Exactly? It's
exactly one of those guys, one of those guys.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
You think about them, right, I mean, whether it's Gilgess
Alexander and his city, whether it's Nikolay Yokitchen his whether
it's you know, Luka Dantic and his well. You go
around the league, everybody's got at least one of those
guys and shanguon. That's what gets a great one.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Too much.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
We always talk about, Okay, the Batman Robin thing. I
don't care who Batman is, a Robin is, I just
want to know can you both get it done. As
a matter of fact, Robin well in Batman and Robin,
you know, was a good sidekick. I'd probably think that
you'd want a tough, a little bit tougher duel than Robin,
you know what I'm saying. Although Robin competed, you know
what I'm saying. But it's the two cats that are

(04:14):
just they can take over game, either one of them
on a given Night can can carry a team on
his shoulders. And both these guys are capable as the
two seed. Like we said, they're playing defense. It's not phony,
it is not fake. They're doing their thing and it's
and they got it. You've got to be able to
turn to a star and then have deep, you know,
have a deep, a team that can go seven or

(04:35):
eight deep, because you're gonna need them somewhere along the line.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
You're gonna need it.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
And their commitment to both ends of the floor has
been a fun watch, and Jalen Green continues to every
year get better and prove why that they made the
wise move not to let him get out of their
hands and trade him because of the Well we're a
little frustrated. They stayed the course and sometimes they know
more about patience than we do.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
And here we are number two.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Now are they good enough to sustain it in the
seven game series over the best team in the East.
I don't know, but as a two seed running through
the West, it's got some pretty good basketball. Tells me
they can if they get this type of performance. Yeah,
that's what I'm saying. So he's got to rise up. Yeah,
no doubt.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Jalen Green continues to play like this, and damn they
are going to be a contender that trade deadline. You
mentioned the trades February sixth, so just a couple of
weeks away. There's already some uh trade rumors, and of
course you got all these mock trades if you will, uh,
Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, those guys could be traded from
the Suns. The Rockets are in an intriguing place because

(05:34):
they own a lot of these unprotected first round draft
picks from the Suns, so they can use that to
their advantage, or they hold on to them, excuse me,
and if the Stuns fall apart, then they get a
better trade or excuse me, a better draft pick in
this year's draft. Cooper Flagg could be there. Some of

(05:55):
these other guys that are that will emerge himself later
on the season. So that's it's an interesting uh spot
to be in if you're the Rockets when you come
to the draft, not the draft, the trade deadline in
a couple of weeks. But as of right now, they
are twenty seven and twelve and they just beat the
Denver Nuggets one twenty eight one o eight last night
in Denver playing good basketball.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Man.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
So I know, like I know, we're in playoff for
the NFL, but you got to acknowledge what the Rockets
have done.

Speaker 6 (06:20):
Man.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
Yeah, it's a you know, you would have taken this
start any day of the week. And they are playing.
They are playing at a level. It's it's it's not
a level that you think, let's hope to get there.
It feels like this team believes they belong. Yeah, which
is more important than thinking we do. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
what do we say thinking they belong?

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Is my point?

Speaker 4 (06:39):
What did we say they were? What a couple of
years ago they were They had won twenty games I
think a little over twenty twenty two or something, and
then they were five hundred last year on them leap.

Speaker 5 (06:48):
And they're having another one now another twenty seven to twelve. Well,
they're already fourteen games away and we're in January fourteen
games away from last year's record.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
Man, it's impressive, it really is. It's pretty good.

Speaker 6 (07:06):
Man.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
So yesterday during the show, we talked a lot about
the defense for the Houston Texans. We're gonna focus on
what the offense needs to look like for Bobby Slowick
and there's some challenges that they're gonna have to address.
Excuse me, Chris Jones being one of them. For the

(07:27):
Kansas City Chiefs, really really good, really good lineman, one
of the best in the business. He obviously signed himself
a deal to stay in Kansas City.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
I guess with.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
The offensive line, I guess there's a chance that Jack
Mason is back.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
He was at practice yesterday.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
So what the starting lineup could look like with this
offensive line has not been really solidified just yet. They'll
go through the next couple of days of practice. I'm
sure we can get more insight when we have Aaron
Wilson NFL Insider join us tomorrow at eight thirty, So
you're not gonna want to miss that preview in the
Texas and Chiefs. But the talent that Chris Jones has,
he's a game wrecker, Sean. He shuts run games down.

(08:09):
He is so damn talented, and this offensive line is
going to have to find a way to stop him.

Speaker 5 (08:15):
Yeah, absolutely, he can shut it down. Not only a
game wrecker in the run game, but it's hard to
find game wreckers in the interior, like an Aaron Donald
or him. They change a game when they can be
double teamed on every single snap. But the truth is
you got to control him.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Now.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
The Chiefs defense is really good. Now you can get
the ball in the secondary and protect your passer, you
can move the football.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
But they're really good.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
They are, and when you can win on first down
on defense, defense isn't a major advantage. And they've got
a We've said it a million times, I'll say it again.
Spagnolo understands it. He's been in every big game you
could ever imagine calling plays for a defense and has
succeeded in most of them. And that's where the advantage lies.
So whether Shaq Mason plays or not, Bobby Slow's going

(09:00):
to have to gear it up towards Okay, move the
line and slide it to wherever Chris Jones is. But
in the process, the other guys can't to say, well,
it's not Chris Jones on me, So I got an
easy task, because they will create some problems for you.
The Spagnola always does. He knows going in where the
protection weaknesses are. And people think they just study offenses.
Those defensive coordinators study Okay, they're going to slide the

(09:23):
line right, Here's exactly what they do. So they're going
to do everything they can to free up somebody else
or move Chris Jones around. Where you slide the line,
have to change your protection again, stand him up, move him,
put him in a different area inside, outside. He's going
to live inside most of the time. But you do
everything you can to find that. They're studying it, study
and saying, say, okay, left guard or right tackle or

(09:45):
what have you, that's where the weakness is.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Let's go get it.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
And so they will find it, and then you have
to counter with okay, they know that, so we're going
to slide the line here.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
We're going to do this.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
We're going to keep a guy in and you may
have to max protect the times and win on two
man routes.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
That's just the way it is. So you've got to
control the liners.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
But just so cliche, and so you could say it
every week in football, there's some time. But if you
don't control the line of scrimmage on either side of
the ball, it just puts your defense and puts your
offense in such a major disadvantage in longyarded situations because
then I can blitch you and make you throw hot
and I got more guys than you can block anytime

(10:23):
I want. The question is can you get the ball
out quick enough? And as your receivers better than my
guys than man. But if we're gonna play z own
and tackle, the Chiefs are just really good at manipulating
your offense to get to the point where their defensive
strength shows up and they play in your backfield. And
so the Chiefs have always been known for, until the
last two years, offense, offense, offense, and hopefully the defense

(10:45):
steps up this it's now defense defense, and you know
that Mahomes and Andy Reid loom so there's always that man.
Even if their offense isn't good, they're in the middle
of the pack. It's still Mahomes and he knows what
January is. Like I said, when people say that's overrated,
no it isn't. If it was overrated, Lamar Jackson and
Josh Allen would have Super Bowl rings. Yeah, it's not overrated,

(11:07):
and those guys are that good. It's just a different mentality.
And what can happen if you don't start fast and
you start getting knocked around early is you can start
to get the old oh my gosh, and then everything
starts to be skewed and you're not real sure. It
feels like they're rushing fifteen guys. You've got to come
out of that thing. You can't start slow, and you've
got to keep the passer upright. But you also, if

(11:27):
you're Bobby Slow, can't just live on the quick game.
At some point time, you're gonna have to run, play action,
turn the line back, protect it. Get two guys that
just gut it up and say, I'm not gonna let
Chris Jones in my backfield. If you means grab him
by the waist and not let him move and deliver
the football down the field. You're not gonna The Chiefs
can do that the other way because of the way

(11:47):
they design their offense. You can't live on every single thing.
Get the ball out, gets the ball. At some point time,
you're gonna have to drop back, hold it and let
something happen and push the ball down the field. Because
I assure you they're going to play sideways at times,
but when they got a shot, they are going to
take it because they feel on the other side of
the ball defensively and offensively.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Eventually, we're gonna get you. So how do you combat that?
You can't.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
We always talk about it. You can't let their best
player on offense beat you, like in this one. You
can't let Worthy go I'm talking about outside the quarterback.
Can't let Zavier Worthy get the ball in space and
go hey wire on you for big plays. But it's
the other side of the ball too. You can't let
a game record take you. If Chris Jones comes out
of this and plays like the defensive MVP, and it
shows it won't we won't bode well for the texts.

(12:31):
Just like the other side. If all of a sudden
we see that the Kansas City Chiefs are playing in
a game that's down in the teams, they win those.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
But I kind of alloyd the Texans have played this year.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
I think their defense can keep you in one of
those down there, even though I think right now, honestly,
I think the Texans are as talented offensively at the
perimeter as though even with their guys out now, Kelsey's
a difference maker.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
But Nico Collins to us is Kelsey to.

Speaker 5 (12:59):
The It's just that that Kelsey's a little closer to
the line of scrimmage from Mahomes and they've been doing
it long. Yeah, So I'm convinced that you can't let
we can't come out of this thing. Yeah, we controlled
the offensive side of the ball, but man alive, do
they wreck the game defensively? You still have you can't
let their best player. Like if you're playing Michael Parsons,

(13:20):
he can't get three sacks, he gets none and the
other guys get a couple.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
I'll live. I can deal with that. But that's just it.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
You always got to make sure the best player doesn't
dominate you. And it's a tough task because in truth,
outside of Mahomes, the very best player on the field
may very well be Chris Jones. Yeah, I'm talking about
offense defense. And you know how much I love Mixing
and Nico Collins and they got worthies fast. And there's
Kelsey too right now at stage in their career. Now

(13:48):
he's a difference maker. But the best football player may
very well be not named Mahomes, maybe Chris Jones of
all the people on both sides. So and if he's
in that mood, he can take it over, right, sure can.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
Bobby Slowek spoke about the challenge of the defensive line
for the Kansas City Chiefs and how they will need
to handle that. We'll hear that audio discuss the next
right here on the Shawn Salisbury.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
What if he does? Man? Okay? What if they say
we'll pay? What did they? Seriously?

Speaker 5 (16:42):
Let's say Japan came and offered him three hundred mili.
I'm gonna blame him for six or seven years. Enjoy
enjoy that country.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
What do you do it? Wouldn't you at the okay?
I'm just at his stage of his career. Uh huh?
Still got good baseball? Left? Is his best baseball behind
him or in front of it?

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Three?

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (17:05):
And paying you in American dollars. I don't know what
the rules are, but I'm gone, You're gone. Yeah, I'm
coming to Japan. Dog, I'm I'm with you. Flee it's
by flee.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
You know.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
We get great players coming here, and some of our
players have gone over there and extended their careers, right,
I mean Tom Sellik did it in the movie. Okay, yeah,
why can't Alex Bregman do really? For three hundred MILLI
American dollars? Yes? Five years? Yeah, gone, who got a
lot of money? Said we want to start like Alex
Bregman over here? Yes, gone, see you later? What see

(17:44):
you later?

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Thank you? Three hundred million? Come on?

Speaker 5 (17:48):
Yeah for like six years? What's three hundred mil for
six It's fifty million a year?

Speaker 2 (17:52):
There you go? Is he gone? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (17:56):
They just love I mean that they just love a breggy. Yeah, yeah,
they'd what love of breggy? Okay, I'm being serious, you know,
I never mind all there?

Speaker 2 (18:10):
So fifty million a year he leaves? Yeah? Would he
leave for fifty million a year for four years? Yeah?
You think he'd go? Fifty mili? Would he leave American money?
You think he would? Fifty million year? Yeah? Yeah? Come
on nine dollars?

Speaker 5 (18:27):
Yeah, I'm wondering. I'm wondering if he would. You think
he would? I think you're right, fifty million dollars instead
of twenty seven. Yeah, that's double You're gone, it's double. Yeah,
But you got to stay there. I mean and he can't.
You're under contract, so unless unless they trade you back here,

(18:47):
you got to stay. So he can't leave afterward. There's
no opt out. Two hundred mil for four would he go?

Speaker 8 (18:55):
Now?

Speaker 2 (18:55):
People are saying, is Alex Bregman be courted by nothing? No?

Speaker 5 (18:59):
No, he what if he did? Well, we haven't we
have players that go play over there. Yeah, what of
all of a sudden, you know, maybe then the narrative shift,
kind of like the live golf thing. I mean, it's
different when he talks about the parts of the world.
But I'm just saying that if they all of a
sudden said, you know, we're losing our great players to
to you know, the Otani, we're losing great players to

(19:20):
us because they want to go play here. Yeah, they
play good baseball in Japan, they do. So what if
somebody said, you know what, let's let's reverse this. Let's
go pay them big money. Get a star of theirs
who doesn't getting what he wants, and let's go pay
him fifty million year instead of twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah, why why wouldn't you?

Speaker 4 (19:38):
Look, man, I'm if I'm an Alex bregmant shoes and
that was the case, I am packing my wife, my son.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
And our future and culture and have fun.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
And and my son Knox is going to enjoy Japan
for the four years. He's gonna be set right now
or whatever he is to Japan.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
No, I heard, it's incredible. First of all, don't commit
a crime. About a second. Well, yeah, when when I
was in Tokyo, when I've been there twice playing football
game college and NFL game. First of all, they treat
you and they're it's phenomenal. Yeah, they'll they'll leave their
bikes rows of them. I'm talking about thousands of them.

(20:16):
You know, they ride them. They're they're not fat. Okay,
they stay in shape and they they eat right, all
that stuff healthy.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
You know what they do. They're locked and they're not locked.

Speaker 5 (20:27):
Yeah, because that if you steal a bike, oh, you
get caught with that bad idea. You know what I'm saying.
So you're it's it's everything they did. It's just it's
just awesome. Yeah, it's just a clean and organized and
but obviously we're just kind of hyperbolic tongue in cheek.
But what would prevent them from saying, you know what,
they're getting a lot of our good players. Why don't
we steal one of theirs well and just blow them

(20:49):
out of the water with an offer. He's not going
to Japan, but no, just a thought, because right now
I'm sure fifty million year would look good to him.
Considering that, I take it that well looked. All feels
a little bit dry right now when it comes to
the money he wants. Oh yeah, you would. I would
take that pleasure going over there with good people who
are gonna treat you well, and as an American in Japan,

(21:09):
I mean and great, you know, change of culture, but
that's not happening a million dollars good drop right there.
Boston and Detroit, christ are a little closer, so maybe
that's the case. But he's gonna end up somewhere. But
I think he's probably going through that. It was greatly
overestimated the price he was gonna get, unless there's one

(21:31):
just waiting. But I don't think people wait for this
and just all of a sudden, oh you know, let's
go two ten in there. Yeah, because they're all negotiating
in a way that says the longer it goes, the
more I don't want to say panic, but the more
concerned I would imagine his camp is, and then you say,
why would if from thirty million a year I can
get him for twenty six and a half? Yeah, why
would I do it? That's what he's gonna say. I

(21:53):
don't want to negotiate against myself. It's gonna be twenty
seven million dollars. It's going to be a three year
contract with opt outs after year one. In year two,
it's going to look exactly like Cody Bellacher last year.
That's two years. That's going to be their way of
making up for we're not giving you two hundred and
ten million. We'll give it opt out after year two
or year one, to where if you play great and
stay healthy, you can either re sign with us or

(22:14):
go get bigger money somewhere else. Since the market was
a little bit less than you probably envisioned.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yeah, interesting, this city is going to be outside of
their minds when Alex Bregman signed somewhere else for twenty
seven million dollars a year. That's the call I've been
calling it. I'm going to continue to call it. That's
exactly what's going to happen. It is going to be
a difference of a million and a half, maybe two million, max.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
A year a year, Yes, which over five or six
years is twelve significant. But that feels like that's one
extra conversation saying, could you guys get to twenty seven yourselves?

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Is that mean?

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Was it one offer and done? Right here?

Speaker 5 (22:55):
Here's our ceiling? I mean it's was it was the
first offer, your final offer?

Speaker 2 (22:59):
I would feel like I feel like that's not the case.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
You sure, Actually no, I'm not, But I feel like
we would have Brian McTaggart, Chandler Rome, one of those
guys would have reported it.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Yeah, why haven't we heard about more offers?

Speaker 9 (23:12):
Right?

Speaker 5 (23:12):
So if the first one was the final one and
they put it out there and nobody else is going
above that, the truth is then it was brilliant by
the astros.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Right, yeah, exactly to say we're.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
Gonna go offer this and we're not going to offer
you and get it up towards twenty eight million a year.
So now somebody comes in and gives you twenty nine
and a half and we lose you. We're gonna stay
right here. Yeah, And it's almost like they've put it
out there if that is the only offer, the one
that we hear about every day, and they bring it
and then all of a sudden they go out there
and they can't find anymore. They come back to them

(23:45):
and it's like, see, we negotiate it, and are the
other teams thinking, let's see how everybody else.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Reacts to where the Astros are.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
Yeah, and nobody's reacting to where the Astros are unless
they are. And that's just not good enough for Boris
and Regnant. Right, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
I don't either. But if that was their first and
only in final offer.

Speaker 5 (24:06):
And then he ends up leaving and getting the same
price somebody else, there will be people here that are better,
Oh ye, fans because they why would you leave for
the same price? I thought you loved Houston. That that
that will be the argument. And if you're a team,
the longer you go and you say there's nobody else
giving you more, is there a part of you that says, well,
you know that offer is different now?

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah? I mean you know, you get to a point said, well,
you know what that that that dropped to about six
for one fifty or five? Yeah or five? Yeah, dropped
the years? Yeah, you know what had dropped a four? Yeah?
I mean so, but is this the case?

Speaker 4 (24:42):
And I'm not again I know, I know where you
stand on the player. How do you it's the player
works for the agent works for the player.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yeah, right right, But isn't this the this is the
bores playbook. Do we see it? We see it every year.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
He gets his big perennial stars like once so odo,
he gets them the massive payday, but the level right
below it. We see it every year. Cody Bellinger, Carlos Correa.
Now it's Alex Bregman. Dude, we're less than a month
away and Alex Brigman is still a free agent.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
His last year.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
We're two weeks in a spring training and he fired
Boris after that.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
The thing, I don't know. You don't even have to
get to the point of find just the other one,
any of Blake Snell guy too, I believe, so you
got him pick a while.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
It took a while, so we said last year it
was right, Blake Snell, it was. That was the three guys.
It was Cody Bellinger, Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery. Those
are the three big free agents last year. And it
all wait, wait, wait, and then the opt outs, all
the contracts with opt outs.

Speaker 5 (25:45):
So may be the case, it really may, but we
can discuss it. I just yeah, I just But again,
if you're the player and you're getting frustrated, you tell
the agent. Yeah, the agent doesn't take he informs you
and you make the decision. Right. If you're allowing him
full Cart wants to do what he wants to, you're
not in training camp.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
That's all.

Speaker 5 (26:01):
That's a new problem, not the agent problem. Yeah, you
hired him, and you know who he is. There's no
you know who Scott Morris is, what he what he does, right,
what he's all about.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
That's exactly right, seven seven nineties number to join, and
we'll open up the phone lines.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Uh excuse me?

Speaker 4 (26:16):
You want to get in and talk about Alex Bregman
not signing yet. Obviously we're gonna continue to talk Texans
and chefs. Let's roll along right here on the Seawan
Salisbury Show. The Shawn Salisbury Show continued. Let's get out
to the phone lines. Roger, good morning. Hang on just
one second, Roger Tripley, can you punch him up for me?

Speaker 10 (26:39):
Please?

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Roger you there? Hello? All right, we're having little issues
with the phone lines.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Are Oh my goodness, Steve John's air John good morning, guys.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Can you hear me. You there, John, Yeah, can you
hear me?

Speaker 4 (26:54):
He sounds like, hey, John, give us a shout back, man,
He sound like he was on healio dog Uh Roger John.
If you guys can hear us, hang up, call us back,
We'll get it figured out. Unbelievable, man, Man, I got it,
We got we got some issues this morning.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
O Man, whether already kick it in camera?

Speaker 5 (27:14):
Ain't working on lines, ain't working?

Speaker 2 (27:17):
What's up? Sug? Sug night? Yeah, Sug. I just like
to call everybody shug from how what's up? Sug?

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Let's see you know, let's try this again. Johnny there, Yes,
I mean there we go. Yeah, we're ready to go. Yeah,
let's go.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
What's happen? What's happening?

Speaker 11 (27:34):
Hey?

Speaker 8 (27:34):
I was gonna say I love sushi. I mean I
love Japanese food. You guys are talking about tacos yesterday.
But man, I'd love it over there in Japan. If
if that came along to Bregman, I take.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
That fifty a year to play there, It wouldn't matter.

Speaker 8 (27:51):
I'd play for less than that, certainly.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
I mean, you know I love Japanese because then I've
been there twice. It's incredibly clean and amazing. It was awesome. Yeah, yeah,
I think that.

Speaker 8 (28:01):
But I think this, like I said yesterday, I think
everybody's playing the waiting game because the Astros have moved
on from him, and I think the Red Sox and
all these teams that are maybe in contention are just
gonna wait it out.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
And he I don't think he's gonna sign.

Speaker 8 (28:15):
By by the time spring training happens. I just known't.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
I think that.

Speaker 8 (28:19):
Uh you know, he's kind of in a box right now.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
And uh and the other teams know it. I mean,
they're not dumb.

Speaker 8 (28:25):
They're gonna they're gonna wait it out, and they'll probably
get a better deal. I mean Bregman should have taken
the deal that the Astros offered, you know, just like
Korea should have. You know, back when I think the
Ashes off for Korea, what five or six years for
thirty five MILLI each or something like that. Uh yeah,
And uh, you know, these guys, they listen to their agents,
and their agents are a lot of times blowing smoke

(28:48):
and and uh you know, they they I think the
Astros made a very fair offer to Bregman.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
I thought that was very very fair because uh but.

Speaker 8 (28:56):
I was I was ready to move on. You know,
I'm I was ready to move on from him and
and uh Tucker, as.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
You all know.

Speaker 8 (29:02):
But uh, but yeah, he should have taken it. He
should have taken it. He's gonna he's gonna regret it.
And uh, I just don't think he's going to get
the paid eight.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
I don't think he's gonna get near the.

Speaker 11 (29:12):
Payday he's thinking he would get.

Speaker 8 (29:13):
And uh and uh you know that's I just wanted
to put in my two cents worth on that again.
But uh, but yeah, that'd be a good gig in Japan,
getting all the Japanese food you want and everything.

Speaker 11 (29:24):
That'd be great.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
Yet on Man, appreciate it, John, John, that's with you. Yeah,
I think the longer it goes, it feels like the
less he makes. Unless somebody gets desperate in spring training,
I guess you get to a breaking point where it's like,
I haven't signed. Now, I'll wait till spring training starts. Yeah,
train and keep training. Then you know, some guy you

(29:46):
get there and you say it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Look as good.

Speaker 5 (29:47):
We need Bregmann. And then maybe that milks another million
or two out of a out of a team for
a season or two. You know, I'm over the course
of you end up making eight to ten million more
by holding out. What's the advantage of doing it now?
Other than the p to mind knowing where you're going. Yeah,
you're going somewhere. You're a good baseball player, so at
some point, I mean, you keep hitting, you keep doing
your thing. Hell, I don't know. Maybe if he's late

(30:09):
to training to spring training this year to find a suitor,
then maybe he starts fast because it's a different change
up because he's always there on time. Right, maybe, But
what's the advantage of going and less the money is there?
What's the advantage of signing now? Yeah, some teams still
have money. I don't know, because apparently the bidding wars

(30:31):
there there isn't one, so there's no bidding war. Now.
The question is is there two teams that are willing
to bid there? If you're not, dude, it's it's not.
It's not. You don't have a lot of leverage if
only one team wants you. The question is how bad
do the other teams want him?

Speaker 2 (30:47):
At what price? Is he gonna have to lessen the
years or even take.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
Less than the What if he has to take less
than the Astros original off.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Oh god, could you imagine?

Speaker 5 (30:56):
Well, what if he does, we could see it.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
It's so far the Astros.

Speaker 5 (31:03):
I don't want to call it a gamble, but their
offer has proved to be the ceiling so far. Yeah,
at least it has, at least from our vantage bay
because I don't know who's offered more. Well, if somebody's
offered more, don't you think he would have taken it,
or unless he thinks, okay, they got that offer. Now
it's sitting there. We'll wait till somebody else beats that one.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
We don't know.

Speaker 5 (31:21):
I mean, Boris may go in there and be saying, listen,
we got a buck seventy five. We're not doing it
for anything less than that. So if you want to
get to a buck eighty, we'll sign today. But if
that's happened, you'd think it'd be done. Yeah, teams are
calling a little bit of bluffy or I think yeah,
I think so, I think so. I mean, we heard
Detroit was heavily interested. The Red Sox are heavily interested.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
I said it yesterday about the Chicago Cubs entering the
mix for Bregman. However, they're not interested in anything more
than a three year deal which comes with those opt
outs after the first two seasons, exactly like Cody Bellinger
had when he was a cub. So it just seems
to me like the market has just gone cold.

Speaker 5 (32:02):
Okay, So what does it tell you if the offer
is there? What does it tell you? I mean, how
people are thinking, if nobody has actually gone by what
the original offer.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
Was, Well, it just shows me that they're they're not
going to give him more than But does it tell
you they probably twenty eight million? My question is this
to tell you?

Speaker 5 (32:26):
Is there anything too a player thinking they don't think
I'm as good as I am?

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Yeah, I think does that exist? I think yeah, I do.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
I think I don't think it's they know he's a
gold glove third baseman.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
I think the big Do they believe he's worth the
money for six years?

Speaker 2 (32:43):
No?

Speaker 4 (32:43):
And what I'm trying to say is I think they
think they know he's a slow starter, notorious. I mean,
look at look at what we've discussed the last three years.
Every year April, May and damn near even June, like
he's pretty much non existent, and then out of nowhere
he just takes off.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, that's the whole half of a season. Damn near.

Speaker 5 (33:02):
I think teams are seeing that saying you want thirty
million from us?

Speaker 2 (33:06):
We don't know.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
There's nobody questioning his defensive side, right, there's no question.
But I just when you when you get to this point,
it's like, all right, how many I mean who is
in this and think about this? What does it tell
you If the Red Sox and the familiarity with him
because the manager knows him very well, and Detroit the
manager knows him very well, they neither one of them

(33:30):
have exceeded the Astros offer.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, that's that's a that's a that's a right there,
that's a big, big tell. I mean because you go
in there.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
I mean if I would think that aj Hinch and
Cora would be pining.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
For him exactly.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
Both of them are very We're very are still very
very close with him. So basically, the CEO slash leader
of your team is going in there and saying, I
know the history of this guy. He's a monster player. Yeah,
go get him. He's great in the clubhouse.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
We need him.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
He'll give us more versatility and he'll be around. He
may start slow, but when the end of the seasons around,
he will produce and the ball over there will be
gobbled up at third base, no matter what.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
If you've got to move him, he'll move. Yeah, he'll
go place you can hit him.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
You can hit him in the two hole, you can
hit him in a five hole, you can hit the
three or four, whatever you want. And they're still saying
Noah and the GM like, I can understand if somebody
goes tries to sell.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
That it's never he's never played for him.

Speaker 5 (34:18):
But both of these guys have seen him at his
very best and at his worst. So why in the
world if they love him and both of them do,
why is the general manager looking at him and saying no.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Yeah. It's a very very, very very good point. Both
teams Detroit on the on the precipice of greatness.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
Yeah, good, good team, good young cores sliding him into that,
oh man, and he would.

Speaker 5 (34:44):
You're gonna have base runners when he's around. So with that,
you still can't convince Detroit, who's on got the best
left hander in baseball, or at least one of them,
pretty damn close, right, if you're if you're Boston, you're
begging for what you that's a brutal division and you've
got to do something else. And when you think about
the Wall, if your core that wall, Alan's worth two

(35:05):
eighty five and.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
You'd think one hundred.

Speaker 5 (35:07):
Yeah, now whether it's twenty two home runs or twenty
five and you know over their third base, he's gonna
gobble everything up.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yeah, and you still haven't signed him. Yeah. It's a
tell man big time. That's my book.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
That's a very very good point. Something I really didn't
think of. I was thinking of the opposite way. Oh,
he's got a relationship with him, she's got a relationship
with CORP. One of those teams is gonna do it. Now,
now that you brought that up, I'm like, man, they
they don't think that he's worth twenty seven milk.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
Okay, let's just look at it in our business. If
Dan Patrick wants somebody on that show, yeah he's gonna
have it. If Colin Cowerd goes to Foxes, I need
my sidekick to be so and so you know Jason McIntyre,
if he wanted somebody else, what are they.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Gonna do more than likely? Yeah, probably gonna do it.
Cash cow.

Speaker 5 (35:49):
If Adam Sandler wants to take his stuff from Netflix
to somebody, else Netflix and say, oh no, the next
person's good. So you can apply it to anybody in
the Superstar realm, right right, yeah, when the big boss
and on those shows they're they're the boss, aren't your
boss is going? Aren't his boss? The guy he answers

(36:09):
to gonna listen at least saying excel it to me. Yeah,
I can sell why I need you on this show
regularly to anybody. Gotta have him, blah blah blah. Oh
this sounds good, it'll make the show go well, boom,
there you go. I'm not saying I'm comparing me either,
but I'm just saying an art profession, right, or somebody
when you got somebody who has knowledge of it or
familiarity and the name's a big name, but you also

(36:31):
have somebody who's been in that clubhouse every day. Why
isn't Boston who needs him? And why isn't Detroit who
needs him? That's another guy can get both of those
over a hump?

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Why?

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yeah, why, that's a good point. It's a really good point.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
I mean, why why are those two guys, uh probably
they're probably going to their gms, and yet there's no
been no movement.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
I mean, if you.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
They walk in, say, dude, spend the extra couple million
bucks to get this guy. He'll be a huge difference
for us. And still the gentleman g owner saying no, no, no,
not here. Why yeah, you got the two best salespeople
in the business in both of those guys in Hinson
Core because they've seen the body of work.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Why yeah, why it's a good point seven one three,
two two five seven nine. It's get to break right
here on seven.

Speaker 8 (37:14):
Ninety, wear a mask, wear gloves, wear leather and chains.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
Reminds me of that time I accidentally walked into an
S and M convention.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Hey, nice, my back still hurts. Would be good? Oh,
speaking of back pain.

Speaker 12 (37:33):
Back to former QB Sean Salsbury on Sports Talk seven
ninety get medieval on them, shun.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
Let's get out to the phone lines. Order the longest wait.
We'll talk to Gary, Gary, Good morning.

Speaker 6 (37:47):
Big morning.

Speaker 11 (37:47):
Hey.

Speaker 6 (37:48):
It's question is for Sean. When you guys are talking
about that Bregman and Boris Steel, what is that? What
does that do to a player mentally? Like, what what's
going on in Bregadan's mind right now? Since he's kind
of in limbo and I was the other part was
when that happened with Montgomery. I think Montgomery was coming

(38:11):
off a pretty good season and then he was the
I guess it was in after he got signed. It
was kind of like a mediocre season. So does that
kind of affect them when they're out there in the field.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Thank you, Gary.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
If you remember Sean Montgomery dealt in the ALCS against
the Astros, he dealt all the playoff long for the Rangers.
Then he goes into that off season and yeah, he
was not very good for the Diamondbacks.

Speaker 5 (38:38):
Excuse me, listen. Even though they'll tell you it doesn't
bother them, it does. Every great athlete I know has
a there's a hint of insecurity somewhere, and sometimes that
insecurity drives you. I'll ask this in anybody's job. You
go to your boss, your free agent, and your contracts up,

(39:00):
and you go to your boss or you you know,
whether I don't care what business and gas oil and
gas doesn't matter, and they come to you and say
here's the offer. You're not getting to pay raise, but
we love you. And then you go out there and
say and they say we love you, but you're you're
allowed to go.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
I don't know if they signed contracts and all.

Speaker 5 (39:19):
I guess you get my point right, and it's a
sale whatever it is, and somebody else. You think, well,
somebody else will love me, because I know that they've
told me at a dinner. And then you realize and
then you go talk to him and it's like, well
the talk was a little bit louder than the actual
put your name on the paper, so you could leave
and go to another company, yeah, or nobody else is interested,

(39:43):
and you now got to come back to the same place.
You turn down the offer in the first place, How
would yourself? I know it's still one hundred and fifty six.
We don't misunderstand me. But there's was Kyle Tucker bothered
by arbitration that has Yeah, would you be bothered if
you get low balled on an offer?

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (39:58):
Absolutely, Oh it may be a good offer. And everybody
does some comps. We do comps on homes, human beings.
Well this guy did this, this, this, and this my
numbers or this, this, this and this. Why is he
making more money than me? Or why is she making
more money than me? And then you go, of course,

(40:21):
of course about this. Now I don't know if it
affected Jordan Montgomery or Carlos Correa's performance, or if it's
going to affect Alex Bregman's performance, it can affect it
positively where they say I'm okay, I'm about to show
you I'm signing a two year, three year deal on
an opt out and I'm gonna go haywire. And then
there's the other side where it kicks in, like at

(40:43):
thirty am I on the other side of my career.
They don't believe it, and then it festers. And if
you're a slow starter like that, it'd be easy to
let it fester. For Alex Bregman, right, yeah, so, and
he's the most he seems like the most confident guy
on the planet. But regardless of the surface confidence, everybody
I know a lot of things that drive them that
are good is that little bit of insecurity, that little
hint that says, when all of a sudden done, you

(41:07):
still know that made you in high school want to
be a college player in college, want to be a pro.
There's that hint of what if they like somebody better,
here's what I know.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
If I'm a coach, my.

Speaker 5 (41:19):
Job I'm looking at you my job as a player,
a coach or whatever. Is to find somebody better than you,
even though I love it, it's to find somebody. I'm
always looking up great to find somebody better than you,
and your job is to make it impossible for me
to find them. Yeah, it's not personal. My job on
a football roster to find a fifty three best and my.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Job, my job is still to replace c J.

Speaker 5 (41:44):
Stroud. I'm looking for somebody better. Now you get my point.
I'm not actuably looking, but the Vikings are looking right
now right and Darnold two games. So my job as
a coach is always to look for someone who's better
than you. While I'm coaching, you train, and your job
is always to and my job is always to I'm

(42:05):
gonna make it or you can't replace me.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
That I am the guy that you're looking for better.
That's the true.

Speaker 5 (42:10):
And so with Bregman, the Astros job is to find
somebody better than him.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Now it's hard to do and somebody else.

Speaker 5 (42:17):
So the point for him is yeah, just as I
say is apply it to your own life. If you think,
and these athletes, because the surfaces you never want to
let none of us ever want to let do as
an athlete when you're playing, let anybody else see a sweat.
You never want to know that you're bothered by something
you know, and then you come out at the end
of the year after you go to say, well, they
didn't believe in me, and I proved it to him.
That that's one of those driving forces. So do I

(42:38):
think deep down that Bregman believes he's a great player. Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Do.

Speaker 5 (42:42):
I think there's that hint of what the hell's happened here?
How can there not be? How can there not be?
Hell if they're really forty million dollars away or thirty
million dollars away from getting what he wants, It's like, damn,
you can't help it. As human nature. Now, what you
do with it is more important. So and social media

(43:03):
drive stuff like that, right, they can beat down on
you if you're paying attention to it. So I think
it does matter how you deal with it's on you.
I don't know how these guys deal with it, or
I know how I dealt with it. Yeah, but it
happens to everybody at some point in their career. So again,
we always got to I'm always looking as an organization
or coach to find somebody better than you. Yeah, they're
always you're always looking and I'm always in our career,

(43:23):
we're always looking to prove that there is nobody better
than us. Absolutely, and that's the same with Bregman. Yeah,
but it's got to affect yourself. That's self worth deep
down where I'm not good. But if you think that
you're better than the third base when he just got
a contract more than you, it can't help it affect you. Now,
how it affects She's going to be up to you,
not me.

Ut quarterback quinn Ewers declaring for the NFL Draft. Seven
one three two one two five seven ninety is the
number to join us. Some guys that have been on
hold waiting patiently start in order longest. Wait, Billy, you're
up first.

Speaker 14 (46:37):
Good morning, Hey, good morning guys. I guess Quinn yours
can't wait to hear his name called. And the Pittsburgh Steelers,
with a fifty second pick in the second round, chooses
Quinn Ewers, that's just wonderful.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
As a UT fan, I'm glad he's gone.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Why are that way?

Speaker 15 (46:54):
Why?

Speaker 13 (46:55):
Why?

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Why?

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Though he was twenty one and five for UT he was, but.

Speaker 14 (46:59):
Look what he had around him, Look at the team
that he had around him. Okay, he was a mistake
looking for a place to happen. And he did win
some games. But did he win them or was it
because he had a great defense, because they had a
great world wide receiver corps or one of the best
tight ends in college football? He had a lot of tools,
and he made a lot of mistakes, and yeah, he

(47:21):
beat he beat a lot of teams, But did he
beat a lot of top ten teams, a lot of
ranked teams?

Speaker 2 (47:26):
He didn't either either.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
Even with all that being said, wins wins or wins,
and I mean, it's a team game. And look what
he did against Arizona State in the in the quarterfinals.
If he doesn't play any like that. In the last
five minutes of the game, they.

Speaker 5 (47:40):
Lose, and Billy, let me ask you this, what do
you what happens if arch Manning gets them to the
playoffs and they lose in the first round next year,
will you be ready to move on?

Speaker 16 (47:50):
I will be.

Speaker 14 (47:51):
I mean to be honest, I will be. You gotta
find that guy, though, that that can get you to
the top. Now let me ask this, though, I want
to know what the game's like. What it What happens
in the game. Is it because arch did something, or
is it because it drops, or is it because the
defense is what is what it happens in the game.
And I'm not putting it all on Quinn, all right,

(48:12):
I'm just saying Quinn. The main point for me was
Quinn should have gone to the transfer portal and developed
some more uh so, And I just didn't want it
to be here. I wanted the mobility of arch Manning.
I want the arm of arch Manning. I want to
see what that kind has got. I want to see
if he's got some pedigree. You know, the Manning name
goes a long way with me. I want to see

(48:32):
if there's some pedigree. So that's That's where I'm at
with it as a Longhorn fan. But uh, you know,
and you know we're no, we're not always going to agree.
But that's where I'm met with with the quarters question, Billy,
and go ahead, and the fact that they're about to
turn over their entire offense. Might not vote very well
for any quarterback at this point.

Speaker 5 (48:53):
Yeah, great stuff, Billy. Thanks, And I don't disagree with
you at all on the time. I think it is
time to move on.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
I mean, you know so I do.

Speaker 5 (49:01):
I think it's time, and I do think he needs
some mechanical development this offseason. He's got to get mechanics
styled in and and be a little more consistent in
certain parts. He's got a big arm. Arch Manning's not
going to bring more arm to the table. It's more versatility.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
But I'm with you.

Speaker 5 (49:15):
I think most people probably a ut feel the way
you do. But I also think that I think we greatly.
I think maybe over or maybe underrated the good career
he had there. He was a pretty good player. But
I understand why it's time to move on and we
all want to see arch Manning. And I thought quinn
Ewers did a good job, but until you win a
national title. Nobody's going to be happy. There's only one

(49:37):
team that's going to be happy. And somehow the loser
of this game, the quarterback, is going to get blamed.
That's just the way it works, right, And.

Speaker 14 (49:43):
I couldn't agree more on the Bregman thing. The market
was kind of set with Chapman, and when I saw
the Chapman contract, my initial thought was, Okay, Bregman's going
to get twenty seven to twenty eight because from the
from the Astros, because this guy is really really good
on the field, and I'm talking about not just with

(50:05):
the glove, but common things down, common situations down, talking
to pictures, going out there, understanding the game situation between
the catcher and the pitcher. He was like a manager
on the field, and he was great.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
In the clubhouse.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
So I thought, okay, he's.

Speaker 14 (50:19):
About twenty five where Chapman is give him about two million,
three million more because of what he means to the
team overall. And there you go throw six at him
and he should be fine, and then he do to
decline that. I went, okay, well he's over he's overvaluing
himself and why because Boris does that and I don't
know how long it's going to be before players start

(50:41):
to understand that that's what Scott Boris does and it
doesn't always work. It worked a long time ago. But
the gyms aren't afraid of Scott Boris anymore. They know
his game, they understand what he does. You know, you
don't have George Steinbrenner wanting to be the first guy
to sign a billion dollar player and it doesn't matter
who it is. Oh no, it matters now because there's

(51:02):
a lot of international players. There's a lot of guys
that can come in and help your team that don't
cost merely as much. And guess what that means, more revenue,
lower payroll, more revenue, And that's what they're looking for.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
And that's great.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
But I just thought that Bregman.

Speaker 14 (51:18):
The Astros offer for Bregman was solid, and I'm with you, guys.
I think that's where he's gonna be. And it's kind
of sad for Bregman that he could have just signed
here and competed for championships for the next four or
five years. But one question on that, with Bregman being
a solid, solid guy on the field, Yeah, the Texans
just released a problem with Deontay Johnson Chim Whittmore just

(51:42):
kind of blew up a little bit on the rockets.
I think that's settled down. But John from your experience,
how bad, especially with a young team. And this is
why I thought Bregman would fit great in Detroit, but
especially with a young team. How bad is a veteran
player who comes in and thanks too highly, even wants
too much for himself and it doesn't have the team

(52:03):
aspect in his mind at all times.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
And I, well, those guys will get found out fast.

Speaker 5 (52:11):
You mean, I think what he's referring to is a
guy walks in a new clubhouse and is selfish and
you know he's an I. I mean, the reputation gets
there before the player does. Ye Johnson, do you know
what you're getting coming in? You think you can fix
it when you know what the smart thing is, whether
it's baseball, football, or basketball, once you figure out who
they are. If you didn't know coming into it, you

(52:32):
got to let You can't let it fast. You got
to get rid of that quick. Just the same thing
is when a guy waltzes into your clubhouse like a
Bregman and you realize he fits here and immediately is
named a team captain three months in and he's with
new guys. That's the other extreme of it. I want
that guy around, right. So it's the one thing I

(52:52):
can tell you about locker rooms and clubhouses. Players know,
players know who should be playing. Players know who the
favorite is. Players know who the turd in the clubhouse
or locker room is. And I'll say it again, when
the headache is bigger than the talent, you get rid
of the headache.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
Simple.

Speaker 5 (53:13):
Now, it's either you get rid of the headache and
say to the guy, the headache going away, or you're
not going to be here any adjusts to you. Screwplayer
empowerment just because you're talented, but if you're disrupting my team.
And then the other side is if you're extremely talented
and we keep you, but you're a pain in the ass.
That tells you that they think he's making a difference
every day. He just a pain in the ass you

(53:35):
and you have to just manage it. But with John,
look look what they did two weeks later. Now you're
not doing that here out here with the Texans, with Bregman,
you're losing probably just as good as his glove, as
the clubhouse presence, but it's still not enough for them
to offer a one hundred and eighty million dollars. Yeah,
so it does matter, and players know when a guy

(53:56):
walks in. I've been on teams where you know the
guy that's coming in his reputation is either solid as
a rock or you're dealing with a head case. How
good is the head case? And then sometimes the guy's
been headcase fits right and he say, what are people
talking about this? Dude's awesome? Seen that too, But players know,
and they know before they knew what they were getting

(54:16):
before Johnson walked into the building, and he just validated
what he's back within, validated the other four teams or
other three teams. Once again, if you're not making my
roster better, what value are you bringing? If the headaches
bigger than the value, the headaches got to go, and
they did. They got rid of him, no doubt. Grab
Andy real quick before get to the stake out, and
he appreciate you holding buddy.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
What's up.

Speaker 6 (54:37):
Hey real quick? When you said about the ut and
all the wins, just look at Sam Donnald. They have
fourteen wins this year, so uh, maybe the gms are
looking at Breckman's what he's done last three years. I
mean he's average two sixty one. His best three year run,
he averaged two eighty eight. He had his lowest and

(54:58):
this got me. He has ops ever this year he's
Lewis and his lowest ever owned base percentage besides his
first year when we only played a couple of games.
So and he only walked forty four times. This year
He's walked upwards of ninety times a couple of seasons

(55:19):
in a row. So something changed with him this year.

Speaker 5 (55:23):
And Andy, and you know what, these teams and you
make a great point. I know we don't want to
admit it because he's such a good clubhouse guy, such
a good glove guy. If I'm paying you two hundred
and ten million dollars, I can't question what kind of
hitter you are. And right now, his production, he didn't
do himself any favors with his production this year at
the plate. And we know he's selective, but forty four

(55:45):
walks as well below what he does. Right I know
there's some injuries, but to me, to me, I think
part of the reason is that they're thinking six years
will he be his productive offensively? Is his best offensive
game behind him. I don't know if it is or isn't,
but I believe the people that are paid him are
looking at the Well, we're in the analytics league now

(56:06):
for the most part, right, aren't they looking at the
numbers and saying his production's not the same. Yeah, And
I think that has part of it. If I'm paying
you two hundred and ten million dollars, it just can't
be for a glove. I gotta have everything about you.

Speaker 6 (56:20):
You look at what happened when we went and got
a breakho from Chicago. His numbers were way down, and
guess what, they even went way worse they were the
last couple of years of Chicago. But uh, I think
the gms are just you know, we have to understand that.
We hear all these big contracts and everything, but they're
still trying to pinch numbers. I mean, they're trying to

(56:42):
save million here to million there. The Astros need an outfilder,
so they need a starting outdiller. They got to have
a starting out builder and they're gonna have to pay
him some money. But they're they're waiting. It's a waiting game,
and I don't think I don't think Alex Burtan was

(57:03):
gonna get a better contract than what the Astros offering.
And plus GMS know he won'ts out, so that's in
their favor. He wants out of Houston, he wants gone.

Speaker 5 (57:14):
It feels like that, And you know what, that's a
valid point because then you're starting negotiating against yourself and
you're saying.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
Why am I doing that? I don't want to negotiate
against myself. Yep, take care of guys, all right.

Speaker 5 (57:25):
Appreciating Andy, Let's get to the stake out next here
on seven ninety.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
Oh oh, have we played it for blaming? Hey, it's
Jeff Blum. You've got more Sean Salisbury to check up
where he left off on spokes Talk seven ninety Home
of your Stros.

Speaker 5 (57:48):
All right, Sean, what.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Are you hearing out there now? That Salisbury's takeout?

Speaker 12 (57:53):
Salisbury's takeout on the Sean Salisbury Show's.

Speaker 4 (57:59):
Time for this out here on the Shawn South Ray
Shiow Sean bron and Tripoli seven seven nine. He's a
number to join your Rockets beat the Nuggets. Astros signed
twenty international free agent yesterday on International Signing Day. QB
Quinn yours declares for the NFL Draft got out to
the phone lines before I asked Sean about a certain

(58:19):
quarterback in the.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
NFL for the steakout, Roger, what's happening?

Speaker 11 (58:23):
Good morning, fellas.

Speaker 17 (58:25):
All you had to.

Speaker 18 (58:27):
To get off my foot for the earlier phone call.
I'm speaking of the Bragman deal. I'm not sure there's
many teams out there, and I might and you guys
are right on the on the nose that he might
have overthought this because there's not many teams that were
going to tolerate another Slottle star.

Speaker 11 (58:42):
It's outside City and Chiefs.

Speaker 18 (58:44):
And also, you know the intelligibles he does provide, they
are valuable, but I'm not sugar valuable enough for him
to carry out such a big contract.

Speaker 11 (58:53):
We gave him a fair market deal.

Speaker 18 (58:55):
He just didn't dig at the time they were a
fair market deal because of his team that he's gotten. Uh,
but I was sure you I'm not sure how open
that contract is. And that contract is open. Now you've
got a guy Walker in the eighties or a set
to take their roles in this Astros organization. And now
you've got a guy like Bregman because of the because
of the team that he's provided.

Speaker 11 (59:18):
Everything's all all in the open. I'm not sure that
that that legacy contract.

Speaker 18 (59:22):
Is still viable and if it does well, they execute
it still even when Gregword doesn't find a deal.

Speaker 11 (59:27):
So I'll leave that up to get for you guys
to let me know what's going on and have a
great one.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
Guys, appreciate you, Roger.

Speaker 4 (59:34):
I just let's just say, Sean, for whatever reason, if
Alex Bregman comes back and says, hey, I want to
be an astro, I'm not sure if that same contract
will be.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
There, would you do it? What I bring him back.
I'd bring him back. I would bring him back. But
would you?

Speaker 5 (59:49):
But would you same contract or would you try to
be a caddy about it, say oh.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
We're gonna give you less now.

Speaker 5 (59:57):
Yet me personally, yeah, yeah, probably a little catty would
probably like our twenty six Mili wasn't good in a year.
How about you know what, Bregman, how about about twenty
four and a half. Y'all, y'all, Chapman's at twenty five.
But you're saying, man, we're going to you're coming back now,
like now you want to come back back?

Speaker 16 (01:00:15):
Right?

Speaker 5 (01:00:17):
I'm probably not that di picky. I'd probably say I'd
want to just to prove a point. Yeah, but I'd
say what purpose does it serve going in and saying
take a million less?

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Yeah? You want you want him if he comes back. Listen,
what do you think?

Speaker 5 (01:00:33):
Every good player in sports wants money? But how do
you get to the money performer for what? Free agency?
Free agency? Yeah, he earned the right to be a
free agent. Of course, he's not beholden to just sign
with the people if he feels like they underplayed the
contract offer. Yeah, and that's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
It's see.

Speaker 5 (01:00:54):
The difference is we as fans and media and even
him and Boris and the organization cannot take it personal.
Although you do he comes back, I'll give him less.
I get what you're saying, because I'd be like, but
the truth is, if I do bring him back, make
my team better. I want him happy in the clubhouse.
I'm not offering him more if I'm not bidding against myself.

(01:01:14):
But if you think it's fair, you stay right there.
It's not like come back and say, you know what,
I think will take away a million each year, So
take that contract six million. We're taking it off there.
So you're down to twenty five to five a year
or twenty six whatever. So I don't think they do that.
But I get why you'd want to. But for me,
like I said, it's it's not we as fans. Well,

(01:01:35):
why wouldn't he want I don't know why. I don't
know why you'd go somewhere else. I don't know if
for the same amount of money or if they say,
you know, we're good. We went got praadus. He's gonna
be our third basin saving a lot of money. That's
the way we're doing it. That's fine, But the thing
is we can't.

Speaker 16 (01:01:49):
It's not.

Speaker 5 (01:01:50):
The contract offers not personal, although players take it personal,
and him going somewhere else shouldn't be personal because every
single one of us is a free agent, and a
successful one would want to test the waters. Why wouldn't you, Yeah,
you would, you should. Doesn't mean I'm leaving, it's just
I'm a free agent.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
So let me listen.

Speaker 5 (01:02:09):
You've worked your whole career to produce and give an opportunity,
But then you're also got to be judicious and just
if you've outpriced yourself, and apparently right now it seems
that way. The fact that we're not hearing any bigger numbers.

Speaker 4 (01:02:23):
Right, we'll see real quick for the stakeout Jason Lloyd
of the Athletic. The reason I'm bringing this up because
it all is relevant to the Houston Texans because at
one point this organization was in shambles. Jack used to
be running a rampant Bill O'Brien as a GM making
dumbass decisions. Nick Asio had just gotten here. Deshaun Watson

(01:02:44):
was playing really good football. Then he turned into a
you know, an as an ass and then Nick Cassio
did the best thing ever for this organization, and he
traded to Shawn Watson. So Jason Lloyd to the Athletic,
put out an article and dougla deeper within the Cleveland
Browns locker room the Cleveland This is Jason Lloyd reporting.

(01:03:05):
The Cleveland Brown's locker room became more positive after Deshaun
Watson tore his achilles standing on October twentieth and stopped playing.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
Quote.

Speaker 4 (01:03:12):
Players told me there was a constant heaviness surrounding Watson
in the locker room and that they felt a different
energy in the building upon his departure. A couple of
veterans told me it felt like a black cloud had
been lifted.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
End quote. Also excuse me.

Speaker 4 (01:03:27):
The thing to note is that he says in this
article head coach Kevin Stefanski would never point out Watson's
mistakes through the first seven games of the season.

Speaker 5 (01:03:37):
And players, what I tell you about players, they know.
And if everybody else is getting pointed out. And because
he's making two hundred and thirty million a year and
he's here, ooh, we went out and got the golden
you know, the golden one that came in at two
hundred and thirty million. We paid him when we didn't
need to upgrade his pay and he came here and
he hasn't performed. Matter of fact, he's been just a guy. Yeah,
And he walks into the building and you're not correcting

(01:03:58):
him because he's the quarterback and he's even Belichick got
after Brady in front of the team. It's okay because
it also sends a message that everybody else is not.
You're not immune to that, and it's part of being
coached hard and everybody should be treated no matter how
much money make, how many Superowl rings. You want to
be respectful about it, but you can't. You can't because

(01:04:21):
players know and the same mistake for one player isn't
as criticized as the saying as it is for another
that talk about wearing heavy on you. I can tell
you this from from the way I hear this and
listening and watching over the last few years. And I
have met him once, But I don't know anything about
Watson other than what we hear and read and stories

(01:04:41):
like this. Deshaun Watson is an emotional vampire. Yeah, he
sucks the energy right out of it because it's all
about him, the burden he's been carrying. They self inflicted
all that. And then when you do that and you're
an average player. I didn't say average talent. His performance
has been everything since he's left here, and it partly

(01:05:02):
has been nothing but average. And now the injuries are
starting to take their toll. I don't wish anybody injury,
but I can see how that happens to you. It's
like anything when you take toxic or heavy out of
a building, it's like, oh my gosh, kind of like January. Now,
okay for me, just just is there's a new energy. Yeah, okay,
it's the same thing for that. And when players are

(01:05:22):
telling you that, dude, it ain't just four of them. Yeah,
I got news for you. They all discuss it when
he's not there. Yeah, so a little more on this.
Uh just look at the energy between Jameis went from
Jameis Winston, even though he said some tough times as
a performer, he's just happy and he's energetic and sometimes cheesy.

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
But that's okay, I get it.

Speaker 5 (01:05:42):
I think Deshaun Watson just even if he didn't open
his mouth, what he's carrying around and all the stuff
that goes with it. Yeah, he's an emotional vampire, period
and that'll suck any energy out of one guy, can
screw up the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
Lloyd wrote some more.

Speaker 4 (01:05:57):
He said quote at least a few veteran players who
believe that Stefanski wouldn't criticize Watson in front of the team. Uh,
but the criticism returned to point returned, with Stefanski pointing
out quarterback mistakes and film sessions. Once Jameis Winston had
taken over for Watson in week eight. Of course, seven weeks,
the head coach is not criticizing the quarterback who had

(01:06:18):
average play. But as soon as he leaves because of injury,
now you start, Uh, now you start criticizing Jameis Winston
and everybody else.

Speaker 5 (01:06:26):
And what happens is the quote, the quote, the coach
will lose credibility in a hurry if that happens. And
because the players are starting to look around and say, dude,
you you're still kissing his ass?

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
Why?

Speaker 5 (01:06:36):
Yeah, emotional vampire man. And the truth is, you can't
be an emotional vampire if your if your performance is
below average. Yeah, this is this is this now two
hundred and thirty million dollars. Emotional vampire dude is what
he is.

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
So he tore his achilles rehabs half ass for two
months and then retears it. He's going to probably miss
the entire twenty twenty five season. This is now the
worst contract, not just in the NFL, but in all
of professional sports.

Speaker 5 (01:07:08):
I'm not put this way. I'm just talking about performance.
Forget all the other stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
I wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (01:07:14):
I don't think he's a franchise quarterback anymore. No, he's
there and he never will be. He will never ever
ever return to form. Ever, it will not happen. And
you think about the trade that Nick Caserio got for
Executive of the Year, Watson should have made him Executive
of the Year.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
Think about that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:30):
Back then to where we are now, two division titles
in a row, Demiico Ryans as the head coach, and
you are in the divisional round for the second year
in a row.

Speaker 5 (01:07:37):
Take a look at all the players that came through
here and that are playing here now. It had something
to do with that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Yeah, that gig.

Speaker 5 (01:07:43):
That trade, it's a two hundred Nick Caserio got rid
of a guy that some other organization now is strapped
for two hundred and thirty million that he didn't have
to pay. Yeah, and got rid of that and got
rid of all the emotional crap that goes with it
in the baggage and got a better quarterback.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
Yeah, and a bunch of better players. Yeah. CJ.

Speaker 5 (01:08:03):
Shroud Williams. The worst contract in Derek football in sports history. Yeah,
it's also one of the great that he's not getting
credit for. One of the great decisions by Nick Cassio
that alone should have made him Executive the year.

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
You got that out of the building. Yeah, should be
no regrets here.

Speaker 16 (01:08:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
And another thing, and then we'll get to break and
get back to Texans versus Chiefs. You think about like,
think about Ray Lewis in his career? What do you
remember about ray Lewis? When I say ray Lewis, what
do you think?

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
Great leader? Great player? Okay, so you think player?

Speaker 4 (01:08:30):
Right, there are a few people that will remember him
because of him being associated with the murder case.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
That's for me. I'm not saying that.

Speaker 5 (01:08:36):
That's but because of the situation, I always thought, I'm
thinking of football right now, So what are you Sean Watson?

Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
What do you think? Bad guy? That's what you think?
Bad exactly? Who plays football?

Speaker 6 (01:08:47):
Race?

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
Football player?

Speaker 15 (01:08:48):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:08:48):
Did he get away with something? What happened there? And
you know, we don't know all the fact that Watson.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:08:52):
But what I'm saying is, like you think of Raylos,
People in the locker room loved Rag exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
People in this locker room apparently don't. Don't. It's crazy
to think about man, no doubt.

Speaker 4 (01:08:59):
All Right, let's talk about the challenges that the defensive
line is gonna for the Chiefs is going to present
for the Texans O line. Next, the Shawn Salisbury Show continued.
Remember last year, at one point, I think it was
during this I was on a baseball tournament. Actually, hey man,
what's a zoid. I was like, what do you know

(01:09:19):
what's zoid?

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
Remember freak azoid?

Speaker 5 (01:09:22):
It started there, right, That's why I told him to
Rick James and super free, But it started with freakyzoid
robots please report.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:09:32):
Right, So I've just taken it from back in the
day and instead of calling freakazoids, it's just yeah, man,
I mean you.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
Got some zoids. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:09:41):
It's better than saying how your bitches? You know what
I'm saying. Gracious?

Speaker 2 (01:09:45):
Yeah, yeah, what isoid's at?

Speaker 5 (01:09:48):
Yeahs a it's but's a good thing, right, Hey, yeah
you doing man?

Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
Pretty cool?

Speaker 10 (01:09:56):
Right?

Speaker 5 (01:09:56):
Yeah, but that can go female or male, That's what
I'm saying. Yeah, no, kid yourself. Females got some zoids.

Speaker 2 (01:10:03):
Yeah, they ain't playing the bull giving in today's day
and age.

Speaker 5 (01:10:06):
Yeah, yeah, so you gotta be the truth is just
in that now that we're in this like this deck,
you just got to be zoidified. You know what I'm saying. Mmm, yeah,
sounds like it belongs on a T shirt.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
You put that on a shirt, damn rights or on
a billboard.

Speaker 11 (01:10:24):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
Ah right now, baby, trip on him. I'm stuttering. It's
gonna say tripley. I was gonna ask my question, but
he's uh answering the phones. Excuse me, by the way,
we talked about weather. Only four more days.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
So for the weather. No for Joey b oh, yeah,

Speaker 6 (01:10:49):

Speaker 5 (01:10:53):
Absolutely not. I'm too busy watching that idiot leading California.
That is that is wearing them into that is beating
them into the ground out in California, Those poor the
folks in California. Can you imagine waking up to that

(01:11:13):

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
No, my home state? What a joke? Any worrying about
when I watched? So did you watch?

Speaker 10 (01:11:21):

unbelievable man?

Speaker 5 (01:11:24):
First of all, I'm the one who turned you onto it.
That's number one, and now you get you get bricked
up every day I want to talk about. Secondly, for
a guy who I ask, have you watched certain movies?
All watching you and then years have gone by, You're

Speaker 5 (01:11:43):

Speaker 11 (01:11:59):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
But I'm with you.

Speaker 5 (01:12:00):
I will you know, and I'll report back to you
and let you know I'll be right here. Matter of fact,
we'll open up the show with my there you go,
my feelings of how do I feel about Bill Bob?

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
All right, well, I guess we'll talk about it in June. Really,
we don't have to worry about that.

Speaker 5 (01:12:13):
I'll be long done before then, before your happy, before
your happy ass is laying on a couch. This weekend,
I will have watched both of them. Okay, there you go,
a lot of football on a lot. Yeah, we got a.

Speaker 2 (01:12:26):
Colder witches breast in a brass brawl. Okay, yeah, there
you go.

Speaker 4 (01:12:32):
Yeah, Buffalo is gonna have some uh some frigid temperatures
taking on the ravens, the cold as balls for Kansas
City and Houston.

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
Man, it's football weather.

Speaker 3 (01:12:41):
Though.

Speaker 5 (01:12:41):
You know you think any road team's got a chance,
Now all got a chance? You think any road team
is gonna win?

Speaker 4 (01:12:49):
I honestly I'm not saying this is because I'm not
trying this isn't a Homer pick. I really think the
Texans are gonna win, do you. I think this defense
is going to play really, really, really good football. I
think Will Anderson and and Neil Hunter are going to
have their way with Patrick Mahomes, and I think they
will find a way to win.

Speaker 5 (01:13:04):
I think they're I think that defense is going to
show up have their way with Patrick Mahomes. I might,
I might disagree, make it difficult on him. Absolutely, they're
trending this year. Says good quarterbacks had a hard time. Yeah, really,
I mean the top of the line quarterbacks. I actually
think the one game that I think Washington's going to

(01:13:26):
keep it closer than you think because their offense and
if Jayde daniels feet are right, if he if he
rushes for over sixty yards in the game, I think
Washington will keep it. Detroit's gonna win because I think
they've bought in the next man up with Dan Campbell.
You can go defensively, and they they're still at home.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
It's huge.

Speaker 5 (01:13:42):
I think the Philadelphia game, while I think the Rams
can Philadelphia just might be too much on the road.

Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
But Jalle Hurt's gonna have to throw it better here.
No doubt.

Speaker 5 (01:13:53):
Defense, will the offense give me back to back weeks
of what they gave last week? If they do, we
may be talking about them in the AFC Championship. And lastly,
as much as I love Buffalo and want this for
Buffalo and Josh Allen, I think that's the one that's
going to be the most difficult home team to defend
because Baltimore is.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
So frigging good, right, I don't understand how you beat them.

Speaker 5 (01:14:13):
Well, being at homes a help, but once the ball
snapped you still, that's a lot of real estate. You
got to defend the man and their defense is playing well,
you got more options to win. With Baltimore, that's going
to be a hell of a friggin football game. So
you know that all four home teams more than likely

(01:14:33):
aren't winning, But which one gives you the best chant?
I don't think that anybody should rule out the chance
that the Kansas City Chiefs are going to be pushed
to a fourth quarter game.

Speaker 4 (01:14:43):
That's why I think it'll be one score late. Yep, somehow,
I think the Texans will find a way to win.

Speaker 5 (01:14:48):
I guess I'll be shocked if it's a blowout. Now,
the way the defense plays, I don't think it'll be
a blowout. And I know that Texans aren't blowing out
Kansas City. That's obviouble, but I don't think it's the
blow I think the Texans defen events flies around enough
to prevent that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
Yeah, I think you're in for a fourth quarter game.

Speaker 4 (01:15:04):
Let's talk about that offense for the Houston Texans and
what they're gonna need to do to beat the Chiefs
next on Sports Talk seven ninety. Aqueduct Plumbing locally owned,

Speaker 1 (01:16:33):
Let the celebration start more. Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk
seven ninety.

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
Dwayne, good morning, Good morning, gentlemen.

Speaker 10 (01:16:45):
I believe that the Checksmans can beat the Chiefs as
long as they didn't go into that fear mode where
if they go down by fourteen points, they don't believe
that they can score, but they can score because they've
got a really good team. They got a good defensive line,
and they got a good set of defensive backs back there.

(01:17:06):
They can take care of anything that Kansas City has
to offer. But I'm just saying this, if you sent
a beat Kansas City, can you imagine what that night
game is going to be like in Baltimore's where those
two teams, those two quarterbacks are going to be under
so much pressure. Man, it's going to be a wild game,

(01:17:28):
I bet. But that's all I wanted to say. Gentlemen,
God bless and.

Speaker 2 (01:17:31):
Peace be with Y'ALLK Dwayne.

Speaker 4 (01:17:33):
Assuming the Ravens beat the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional round,
it's going to be a nasty, tough assumption. Yeah, fifty
chance of rain or excuse me, snow up in Buffalo
for that game with a temperature of eleven degrees.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
I'll be honest with you. It was twelve degrees when
I played in Cleveland one time. Now, you know those
cold ass balls? Yeah, there you go. You ever heard
that one? Yeah I have. It's been cold are a
lot of other places too. Twelve degrees when you played
in Cleveland.

Speaker 5 (01:18:00):
I've play coldered that. Now the Texans aren't think you're
gonna play whoever you play, right, the other three opponents
in the AFC are pretty good if you get by
Kansas City, which is their focus. But we can look
ahead and speculate and have a little fun with it.
If I had to pick who I'd want to play,

(01:18:20):
and I know this is not derogatory because I think
Buffalo's had a hell of a season. I would rather
play Buffalo than Baltimore at this stage, Yes, because I
believe Baltimore is a three or four guy wrecking crew
and Cook's good. But Cook feeds off the Josh Allen feed.
If Josh Allen plays poorly, they're not gonna win, no
any of the game's rest of the way.

Speaker 2 (01:18:40):
If Derek Henry.

Speaker 5 (01:18:40):
Rushes for sixty yards or forty yards, Baltimore can still win.
If Josh Allen goes nine to thirty, they ain't beating Baltimore.
So it's like it's a double edged sword here. I
think they're both brutal. Like let's say Texans will be
the Chiefs.

Speaker 4 (01:18:54):
You have a little extra hip on your shoulder because
you got embarrassed by the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:18:58):
But you're still to go to Baltimore.

Speaker 4 (01:19:01):
But they play you like a jump ump, right, but
you still got to go defend Lamar Jackson and Derek Well, this.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
Thing happened Buffalo.

Speaker 5 (01:19:09):
On the other hand, you embarrassed Buffalo and Josh Allen
had his worst game of the year.

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
Then you got to go up to Orchard Park in January.
It's it's a tall town.

Speaker 5 (01:19:17):
It's but what a great challenge, what a great giant
this And if you get there to New Orleans, it's
like you can't breathe the side because you're gonna face
a good team there too.

Speaker 2 (01:19:28):
Okay, now I get two weeks to enjoy a few days.
We don't have back anybody else in the ANFC. Right.
The gauntlet, Now, the gauntlet can either wear you down
or get you enthusiastic about. We got through that. It'll
be tough enough to get through Kansas City.

Speaker 5 (01:19:42):
Hell, offensively, the other two teams are better, right Yeah,
I mean, listen, you don't beg for either one because
it's tough task on boll But you get through Kansas City,
the confidence shifts even more. But it'll be tough to
get through there because of the teams left the least
scary offense in true, I mean if you win.

Speaker 2 (01:20:05):
Listen.

Speaker 5 (01:20:06):
I can make the argument when they're both playing their best.
The Texans offenses is talented as the Chiefs. Just the
quarterbacks different, the tight ends different, the head coach is different,
but the play callers should, I say as well, meaning
Andy Reid.

Speaker 16 (01:20:18):
But I.

Speaker 5 (01:20:20):
Put it this way, those two offenses are closer together
in production this year. Middle of the road right offenses,
then Baltimore and Buffalo. Then they are to Baltimore and
Buffalo production wise, there's a big gap. Yeah, so it's
a tall task no matter what. But man, what a
great challenge to be able to go on the road
and play all these games and say we got the

(01:20:41):
Super Bowl. We did it the hard way. Yeah, we
got the Chargers at home. With the last two, we
had to go on the road and play two of
the three best teams.

Speaker 2 (01:20:49):
In the AFC.

Speaker 4 (01:20:50):
So Sunday evening in Buffalo for that game, it's going
to be ten degrees ten degrees with a low excuse me,
dipping down towards four and five degrees. Uh, western winds
coming in at fifteen miles an hour gus over twenty
and again it's the waning gibbus.

Speaker 5 (01:21:11):
So that's a big key. Don't forget. I forget now, Yeah,
I don't. That's the top of my that's the top
of my plans every day.

Speaker 2 (01:21:17):
Deal with the Waning. Give us yeah, Waning gibbus for uh.

Speaker 4 (01:21:21):
It's going to be for the Buffalo Bills in Baltimore
Ravens and the Houston Texans.

Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
And Kansas City, Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 11 (01:21:27):
Got it.

Speaker 4 (01:21:28):
Can't can't forget that, cannot forget that. Let's get into
the eight o'clock out. It's here from offensive coordator Bobby Slowick.
He talked about how they can stop the defensive tackle
known as Chris Jones for the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
That's next on sports Stock seven.

Okay, let's do this.

Speaker 1 (01:22:04):
Sewn Salisbury.

Speaker 3 (01:22:08):
To usc tru's longtime friend Shawn Salisbury.

Speaker 1 (01:22:10):
Ryan Lima, go Lobos. This is the Sean Salsbury Show.

Speaker 4 (01:22:18):
Astro signing twenty international free agents. International free agency opened
up yesterday the Texans and Chiefs. We're going to discuss
the offense for the Houston Texans as they take on
the Chiefs is coming Saturday, University of Texas quarterback. When
you were declaring for the NFL Draft, let's hear from
Bobby Slowik, the offensive coordinator for your Houston Texans. He

(01:22:39):
was asked about the challenges of blocking the star defensive
lineman Chris Jones of the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
This is what Bobby Slok had to say, Really.

Speaker 7 (01:22:49):
Unbelievable football player, you know, and and when we were
out when we were playing them and he was out there,
obviously presents a lot of problems. Presents a lot of
problems to a lot of the defenses. Makes you do
adjustments in the run game, in the pass game, and
it's PAGs does a fantastic.

Speaker 2 (01:23:05):
Job being very aware of that.

Speaker 7 (01:23:07):
And they have a lot of schematic things they do
to kind of counter how you feel you may have
to handle Chris Young. So that's really where it all starts.
And then beyond that, like they're a very well coached defense.
They don't make mistakes, they play extremely clean football. They
got physical linebackers, they got scrappy dbs that all can

(01:23:27):
make plays. I mean, at this point in the year,
every defense that's left is really good. And they exemplify that.

Speaker 4 (01:23:35):
And that's Bobby Slowik talking about blocking Chris Jones and
of course the entire defense, and he mentions bags Sean.
We've talked about him quite a bit on the show.
He's gonna do things that the Texans are't gonna see coming,
so they're gonna have to adjust to it.

Speaker 5 (01:23:49):
He may not be the best all around defense you
face this year if you're the Texans, but it is
the best defensive coordinator or real close, especially when it
comes to big game defensive coordinator. There's a different A
lot of guys can do it in Week seven. This guy,
when you're asking about quarterbacks and head coaches and kickers,
who deals with pressure the best. Kansas City's defensive coordinator
deals with it about as good as anything. I'm not

(01:24:10):
talking about pressure on the defense from the way that
the team plays. I'm talking about the choke on your
spit pressure moments in games. He saves his best for
these moments. You're gonna get his best now any combat
and played. It doesn't make him invincible at all, but
you're looking at a team that's got when it comes
to the experience of big moments, light years ahead of

(01:24:33):
what this organ and the light years ahead of most
organizations in the NFL right now with the way they've
played since Mahomes has been on that team, and the
defense defense is elevated over the years to be on
par with Instead of everybody just saying, well, it's Mahomes
and Andy Reid and Kelsey who win in Super Bowls.
For you, I can make an argument that the defense
is a big reason why they won it last year.
You can make the argument the year before the defense

(01:24:54):
is playing better, and now this year the defense has
been better and more consistent than the offense. We're used
to that here as well. But it's this moment middle
of January. You know what you're getting all the things
that go into playoff football, and Steve Spagnola the challenge,
Like I said, my biggest thing is how are you
going to be in the kicking game for both teams?

Speaker 2 (01:25:12):
I think it's huge this week with the weather.

Speaker 5 (01:25:15):
And then the other side is how will Bobby Slowack's
offense deal for sixty minutes with Steve Spagnola. It's the
chess match between those two and then the players just
got to go execute it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
But I assure you, Bobby Slowak understands the.

Speaker 5 (01:25:32):
I mean, how serious it is to attack a defensive
coordinator like this and what he's going.

Speaker 4 (01:25:38):
To bring to the table schematically, He mentioned schematically for Spagnolo,
what a scheme guy. Yeah, So for people that don't
really know about a scheme, what does he mean schematically
for Spagnolo?

Speaker 5 (01:25:50):
For the Chiefs, Well, you mentioned yesterday, Steve Spagnol is
not just studying Okay, here's what they like to do
on third down. Of course, you're studying the tendencies, the
analytics that go with tenancies in a football game. But
Spagnola is gonna look at tape and tape and tape
three or four plays, just like Andy will on offense,
but find the one thing you just if there is

(01:26:12):
a slight weakness, he's gonna make you defend that, meaning
if you're particulable, there's pass protection.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
He is also not going to allow you to double
Chris Jones the whole time.

Speaker 5 (01:26:25):
Somehow, some way, he's gonna create a situation where you're
gonna have to block him with one guy with the
way you slide the line. So he's studying all of that.
So schematically when he schemed there, listen, the one thing
we always stand. We say it when you're in the
seventh grade, alignment and assignment it seems so elementary. The
Kansas City Chiefs get aligned properly and they know what

(01:26:48):
they're supposed to do. Smart football team now doesn't mean
you can't beat him, and it doesn't mean you can't
not a lot of teams did this year. But you're
gonna have to match their scheme for you is this
is chest, There's no question about it. But even though
you may get him on one, his adjustments and part
of scheme is how quickly and urgently do you adjust?
And he is as good as we have in the

(01:27:08):
league at it. If you can't handle an a gap blitz,
he's not just gonna have it. He's not just gonna
do it once. And he's gonna give you a look
that's gonna show you what he's done twelve, thirteen, fifteen
times this year in a game. And then he's gonna
come back and give you that look, and he's gonna
show you and he's gonna give you something else because
you're going to see the look and say, ah, that's
the one. I know what they're doing here, And all

(01:27:28):
of a sudden, you're gonna get a four week or
you're gonna get Chris john standing up on there.

Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
You're gonna get different looks.

Speaker 5 (01:27:34):
Now, that may be the case for all the coordinators,
but the guts and willing to gamble or bet on
your scheme and that your players are just as good
as a scheme. Spagnola believes that. So schematically means a
lot of different things to a lot of different people.
I'm scheming up, you're scheming up. But how do you
adjust to it? And how do you put the the
opponent to where they don't just get to see the scheme?

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
There? That we're cluttering. He's a mind clutter or does
that make sense? Yeah, if you can.

Speaker 5 (01:28:01):
If clutterer is a word, it is now he's he
clutters your mind with all kinds of stuff. You're sitting
here thinking about Chris Jones. I can assure you that
Steve Spagnola's not just thinking we're a one man defense.
He's gonna make sure that if you're gonna do this,
that I'm gonna put my second best guy in a
position to take care of this game. So they are

(01:28:22):
really hard to deal with.

Speaker 4 (01:28:23):
One of the things that really concerns me is the
Texans and their third downs, third down and long during
the regular season. Again, I knows the playoffs completely different story.
But during the regular season they are averaging like third
and eight every single time, third and eight, third and eight,
third nine, third and ten. Right, you're not gonna have
a lot of success against this team. And man do that,
and let's just say they get into that again. Spagnola

(01:28:45):
on third down blitzes like that's that's a huge, huge
concern for me.

Speaker 5 (01:28:49):
Well, unless you the only way to combat what he'll do,
and you get back to the schematics.

Speaker 2 (01:28:54):
He is going to scheme you to force you.

Speaker 5 (01:28:58):
To have He's gonna scheme you at time to force
you in those long yarded situations like good coordinators do,
to force you to say, Okay, they're bringing more than
we can block. We will throw hot here in the
side adjustment. But he's also gambling on the fact did
on third and eight. Yeah, you're gonna throw that, but
we're going to tackle you. And you're still gonna punt.

Speaker 2 (01:29:18):
Third and four.

Speaker 5 (01:29:20):
When I throw a hot read, I should get the
first down on the catch, right, So, but he understands
and he's going to study. Okay, what do they do
on their side adjustments or outreads. Here's where they throw
it at some point in time. Do not be surprised
if he lines up, shows you blitz and drops a
defensive lineman into that lane that you're supposed to throw

(01:29:41):
it in. We don't read defensive linemen in past coverage
as a quarterback. We read linebackers and secondary And that's
the problem with the dick lebo z Owe blitz stuff
something different that's not a.

Speaker 2 (01:29:51):
Normal thing for him.

Speaker 5 (01:29:52):
He'll rear it this week because he understands the momentum
that when the people talk about but I talk about
the confidence that Texans have into this game.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
He gets it.

Speaker 5 (01:30:02):
But he also knows how if there's a little bit
of blood in the water about somebody or something, he
gonna find it. Just like on the other side, if
you went if the Stingley went out for two series
because he you know, he had a stinger and he's
going to get back in. Mahomes and Andy Reid are
not going to wait to attack that corner. Matter of fact,
within that series, they're going to go after that guy.
Some will just allow we'll we'll get to it later.

(01:30:22):
They're gonna make sure you come off that cold ass
bench and can defend. It is a tough task, man,
but it's not. But on the other side, we talk
about this because this is the city we live and
I got news for you. Kansas City is concerned about
Nico Collins. Kansas City is concerned about Joe Mixon. They
have concerns. The thing that the matchup, the coaching matchup,

(01:30:43):
should be talked about more in this game, experience, scheming, pressure,
all the things that go into this. It is gonna
matter because not players aren't the only ones that either
handle pressure well or get overwhelmed.

Speaker 2 (01:30:57):
Coaches do too. I think it's not going to be
it's going to be impress to see how they handle it.

Speaker 4 (01:31:00):
It's like the little things man like clock management, you
utilizing your timeouts, like from the coaching perspective, calling blitzes
for Demico Ryans and his defense along with with uh
Matt Burke the defensive coordinator, like those are the little
the nuances right in a game.

Speaker 5 (01:31:15):
Think how many times in this in these four games
that we're playing this weekend, a team's gonna cross midfield
and be faced with third.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
And shorter, fourth and short. That's exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:31:24):
What's a thirty five yards? Both are facing inclement? I
mean these you know these what are we down to?
Eighteen teams?

Speaker 2 (01:31:32):
Four games? They're gonna be inclement.

Speaker 5 (01:31:34):
The only place that it's not going to get inclement
weather inside of the buildings is Detroit. Other than that,
you're outdoors, so you're gonna face it. But then how
many times they're gonna cross midfield in Siriani, Dan Campbell,
Demiko Rens are gonna face with It's fourth and two,
we're at the thirty seven, we're in the we're in
the purgatory area. What do we do that's what you're

(01:31:54):
talking about? Or when do we use the timeout?

Speaker 16 (01:31:56):
Now?

Speaker 5 (01:31:57):
Five yards is too much now? Or do we do
we play it out? Is it worth a penalty? Or
play it out and play however it is. That's the
coaching matchup of dealing and listen. When you're under pressure
and desperate, we don't make a lot of good decisions.
After all of us, it's like, so are you prepared
for what's going to hit you at some point? The
desperation that will kick in, When to go for when
not to and in the games like this, you damn

(01:32:19):
well know the decision to kick a three or go
for seven and either come up short or get that
and use another series of time.

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
It's going to matter hugely in all four of these.

Speaker 4 (01:32:28):
Games, right, And I think being at Arrowhead and playing
on the road, it's like Joe Mann said, never let
the pressure exceed the pleasure.

Speaker 5 (01:32:38):
Yeah you know, oh yeah, great, yeah nice. Its way
to dig deep. Yeah it is pretty good.

Speaker 2 (01:32:42):
Huh yeah. The truth is if you can find pleasure
and playing it true, it fits.

Speaker 10 (01:32:46):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:32:46):
It's like we said yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:32:47):
In all honesty, it's like we said yesterday with Patrick Mahomes,
it seems like he gets bored in the regular season
and he finds pleasure, pleasure in these pressure type games.

Speaker 5 (01:32:55):
Of January and February, plays with a lot of joy
in the post season.

Speaker 2 (01:32:58):
I know it sounds so cheesy, it's the truth, right.

Speaker 5 (01:33:00):
Because when you're playing with joy and freed up, you're
the clutter leaves man, just like I've been here and
then really, well, we talk about pressure. How much pressure
is on Kansas City? Not very much at home. They've
won two in a row. Even if they get knocked
division rights, if they lose, nobody's gonna bury him, say
they may bury the game, but they're listen. It's the

(01:33:21):
odds tell you at some point in time somebody else
is gonna may not whether it's this year or three
years from now. But the truth is the pressure, I
mean the pressure, the one pressure that rides with them
three peat.

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
We haven't seen that.

Speaker 5 (01:33:36):
And then there's the legacy Mahomes and Brady and Andy
Reid's and wins and postseason wins, the legacy of the dominant.

Speaker 2 (01:33:44):
You're building it.

Speaker 5 (01:33:44):
Well, they're already ah, I mean, they're they're a generational team.
You know they're there so well it's to keep that going.
But if they lose, nobody's gonna say blow up the
Kansas City Chief. If somebody goes in there and gets
here ask kicked, you may say we need changes here,
changes here. They're not going to do much, but they're
always looking to upgrade. The challenge is far deeper than

(01:34:06):
just game day all the preparation of an experienced team
going in against quite frankly, a team that doesn't reside
here very often.

Speaker 2 (01:34:14):
So can you go in and is it love it?
Or leave it like they do?

Speaker 1 (01:34:17):
Love it?

Speaker 2 (01:34:18):
Or list it like that show in the houses?

Speaker 5 (01:34:20):
Do you love the one will rebuild it in house
or are you gonna list it and say we can't
handle all this? You can find out real quick in
how the pressure and then and the textans taken. Pressure
is not going to bother the Chiefs. So you gotta
out play them on the field.

Speaker 4 (01:34:36):
What's the one key for Joe mixing in this offense
and it's not the running game. We'll discuss it next
from h Town.

Speaker 16 (01:34:44):
This is a.

Speaker 1 (01:34:47):
For h down.

Speaker 2 (01:34:48):
This is Houston.

Speaker 1 (01:34:50):
This is Sports Talk seven nights.

Speaker 2 (01:34:51):
Because right now you see it let on Houston right now.

Speaker 1 (01:34:54):
Back to Sean Salisbury.

Speaker 5 (01:35:00):
I was just just I was just checking whip around.
I'm just checking what the powers would be. I wouldn't
know what's in a whip it, but I don't either.
I know that when a problem comes along, you miss
whip it.

Speaker 4 (01:35:09):
I think it's when you take what's that ready whip
or whatever you know you yeah, you know you put
on We all know how to use that right.

Speaker 5 (01:35:17):
Exactly on our pie, I mean, yeah, yeah, pumpkin pie.
Pump yeah, pumpkin pie.

Speaker 2 (01:35:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:35:22):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:35:22):
So I think it's when you like take the nozzle
and you just you just you press it, but you
point it upwards. So the is there something in there
other than there's something in there other than there's.

Speaker 5 (01:35:32):
Some like some kind of yeah, some other than than
whipped cream obviously, Yeah, it's what it's what?

Speaker 2 (01:35:37):
Yeah, some kind of drug? Uh huh? Okay, yeah, bring
a couple, King, No, I've never done that. Try it.
I'm okay, yeah, okay, can you force a gummy in there?

Speaker 5 (01:35:46):
Can try?

Speaker 2 (01:35:48):
We try?

Speaker 4 (01:35:49):

Just check it. I mean, you're all up in his grill.
Do what I say? Don't do that, don't do what
I say exactly. That's funny. But what's happening to biscuit.

Speaker 5 (01:37:39):
Man?

Speaker 6 (01:37:40):
Hey?

Speaker 16 (01:37:40):
Shine NBA better watch out man. That dude Jalen Green.
He didn't figure it out?

Speaker 2 (01:37:46):
You think? Yeah, he's pretty good in it?

Speaker 16 (01:37:49):
Yeah, man, Shine, I think he to me, he kind
reminds me of a Alan Iverson. And and what I mean,
he's so quick with the hardest stay in front of
that guy, man.

Speaker 2 (01:38:04):
Yeah, And with the ball on the deck too.

Speaker 5 (01:38:07):
He's at full speed coming right off them when he
puts fall in the bounce.

Speaker 16 (01:38:10):
Yep, and the key is shining. He could finish. He's
a hand so you can't shade him one way or
the other. You know, That's that's the key.

Speaker 5 (01:38:18):
Yeah, and major key, you know. I mean you you
cross the over and get to that left hand. He
is phenomenal with the handle to You're exactly right. He's
playing at an all star dominant level right now.

Speaker 16 (01:38:30):
Yes, sir, yes, sir, and uh the coach man, I
just marvel at the dooka man and how he's able
to get that attention. And I don't know if you
noticed with more the last few games, I'm like, man
with more passball more than ninety passed all. Yeah, the
coach got his attention.

Speaker 1 (01:38:47):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:38:47):
I would say he had a talking to, wouldn't you
a message?

Speaker 16 (01:38:50):
At some point the conversation was had. A conversation was had.
But let me get to the Texas Sean and I'm
curious to get your answer to it. To me, there's
three key matchups in the game that UH may dictate
which way it is gonna go. And this, of course
is other things going. But to me, first of all,

(01:39:10):
the Texans guards and center and Chris Jones, they can't
just let that man just rehabit, you know what I mean,
hold up. They have to hold up in the a gaps.
And you know, we'll see if Todd is Howard and
and shrugs and they got to hold up in the gaps.
That's the first thing. Number two, Shine, It's gonna be

(01:39:32):
a couple of occasions, either in the red zone or
maybe thirty six or third and five where I think
Number four is gonna be matched up with d Hop.
Can't he keep them from not getting the ball?

Speaker 5 (01:39:43):
Yeah, as long as he's long too, as we know,
and that's his that's his where he lives in that
area you're talking in the red zone.

Speaker 16 (01:39:50):
In that area right there, and and and and for
his physical but so is d Hop and d hopped
on this had to be open to catch the ball.

Speaker 2 (01:39:56):
Right and so that he catches d which is a
lot of contested footballs. That's contested ball.

Speaker 16 (01:40:03):
So you know, can can four in crucial situations? Can
he keith the hocking getting it? And then the last one,
Shine is, of course, is how do they handle Travis Kelsey.
You know what I mean, even though hasn't been done
much this year. Is it a lineback and a safety?
Is it a corner in the Saint How we handling Kelsey?

(01:40:24):
You know, what are we gonna do with him? What's
the game plan? Maybe zero and in one of the safeties.
You know, but you can't let this Kelsey just release
off the ball, man. You gotta you gotta get some
all over the top of him, man, and make him
fight to get every inch. In my opinion, so those
three things, that's what i'ma be looking the game with.

Speaker 5 (01:40:44):
Inside the game, heymen, great stuff, Biscuit, appreciate the call.
Im He's spot on, and there'll be others. But because
at some point in this game, DeAndre Hopkins is going
to get a fade in the red zone. Yeah, and
he also get a big slant because he is one
of those guys. He's so he's got so much length
that you can cover him and he will catch contested
balls because he is a he's not a body catcher.

Speaker 2 (01:41:07):
He's a hands guy. Yeah, And there's a difference.

Speaker 5 (01:41:10):
Chris Jones is obviously the interior, especially for a guy
who's who prefers to climb instead of escape east and west.
You got to prepare to that that's going to be.
You don't want people at his legs. But the Kelsey
thing is something that's been in my craw for a
long time. Yeah, yep, I can't play him with kid gloves.
If you're willing to relent and just give him seven

(01:41:30):
yard catches on an option round or eight yard catches,
they'll throw it fifteen times. They will destroy you doing that.
They're not afraid to take seven yard gains or eight
yard gainst him. So whether you're gonna we used to
call it a cone where you put in and out
on him. You know where you play in and out,
you come my way on here there, you double him
and force it and then have help over the top.

(01:41:51):
It may not be the point you need all that,
but if you're gonna play him with one guy, you
got to. You got to greet him at the line
of scrimmage and just up the timing of Mahomes not
to be able to go one, two, three, boomball out
Kelsey eight yard game, four yard run after the catch,
first down. And I don't care what his numbers are
this year. He's capable of a ten catch, one hundred

(01:42:13):
and forty yard game. If you play him soft. Listen,
people have died football wise, have to have died a
football death. A season's over because that guy they've given
him leeway off the line of scrimmage. Yeah, if I'm
going down, do I want to come out of this
game saying, and I wish we wouldn't have let Kelsey

(01:42:33):
have free run. No, at least make him work for
that to get to his spot. I think it's imperative
that they do that. If you're Kansas City. I mean,
I've heard the Texas. I can't fathom you're going to
line up and play now. They'll motion if they think
to create space often for the defensive guy where he
gets a run.

Speaker 2 (01:42:53):
But you still got to step up. You just can't
miss that.

Speaker 5 (01:42:56):
That's probably just can't miss because if you miss now
he's at the top of his route, he's killing you.
But you've got to get hands on him early. I
would risk the holding penalty to maul him at the
line of Scrimmageah, absolutely, I absolutely would.

Speaker 2 (01:43:08):
Yeah, no doubt, man.

Speaker 5 (01:43:08):
And if you get won during the game, fine, but
I've got to have him by the middle of the
second quarter. Saying, ooh, this is different. They're making me
work for every friggin catch. Yeah, then the result mand
up being different too.

Speaker 4 (01:43:21):
If that's the case, Yep, let's continue to talk about
the Houston Texans taking on the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (01:43:26):
What's the one big key for Joe Mixon is not
the running game.

Speaker 15 (01:45:22):
Hey, what's gone on?

Speaker 2 (01:45:23):
My friends?

Speaker 1 (01:45:24):
Nick here, y'all.

Speaker 15 (01:45:25):
I'm gonna take youre Becker the bit son and uh
Brian y'all remember this when bo'brian picked them balls up
in the KC for that for that championship game they
had Don Weiss and then and uh they was up
putting one minut at halftime and then O'Brien kind of
let us slip away from him. Hey, look here the
way you're gonna beat the Chiefs. Hey, Sun, you remember
just the old body around He used to run that

(01:45:46):
folk at four six at four six, And you can
do that with Will Smith. You can run that thoth
six and with a spy and because uh Texas linebacks
are so fast and and and you know you got
Stilly back there one on one. He shut anybody down.
And Hops, if I'm not mistaken, Hopp was on that
team that went up there, so they know they don't

(01:46:06):
pretty much. How Hop gonna run this, how run his
route and you're gonna force you got to force back
to my home to keep the ball in his hand
and come in from the edges. And he gonna come
in from the edges because he loved to take it
out there and then cut back up in the middle
shut that down.

Speaker 2 (01:46:25):
I think, oh, I think, Uh, the Mico.

Speaker 15 (01:46:28):
Ryans, they're gonna put together a game plan that you know,
some teams don't match it with other teams. Chesna City
don't match that with the Texans. Believe it or not,
they don't. I believe that the Mico Ryans is gonna
come with the game playing on the defensive the end,
and that's how they're gonna be the defensively. And I

(01:46:49):
do believe that Joe Mixing gonna have a big game
along a Piers. They're gonna run the ball and College
gonna have a big game. And I think that the
Texans gonna go win this stay So I'm gonna hang
up into this.

Speaker 2 (01:47:03):
Thank you, John, appreciate that call.

Speaker 5 (01:47:06):
Then the matchup. I think that the Texans defense matches
up against anybody I do. I think they can limit
the big play and make make Kansas City's offense average.
Because defenses are very equivalent here, They're both can take
over a game. I just I think the offensive matchup
for Bobby Slok against their defense will be the biggest.

Speaker 4 (01:47:27):
Key of this game. How you approach it? Yeah, John
mentioned Joe Mixon. Excuse me, this is Bobby slowk talking
about if he does.

Speaker 5 (01:47:36):
Anything about catching ball of the backfield. We're going to say, Bobby,
you listened to the show. We've been saying it for
about fifteen weeks.

Speaker 2 (01:47:41):
He could say something about the Kes. Not heard it.
I'm anxious to hear it. This is Bobby Slow talking
about Joe Mixon a.

Speaker 14 (01:47:47):
Little bit more.

Speaker 7 (01:47:48):
Yeah, I think he's a really good receiver. Actually, I know,
you know, we worked it a lot in camp. Like
I'm sure all you guys saw that. We did a
good amount of it in camp. We did some of
it early in the year, you know, and I think
as the years gone probably have gotten away from that
a little bit.

Speaker 5 (01:48:03):
Wanted to make sure he was fresh for some of
his carries.

Speaker 2 (01:48:05):
But without a question.

Speaker 7 (01:48:06):
That's something that's all my mind and been on my mind, like,
how can we make sure we make use of a guy.

Speaker 4 (01:48:11):
That we think is an excellent player. It's been on
your mind. You worked on it in camp, but you
haven't done it. Joe makes him catching the football out
of the backfield. Well, I don't get it.

Speaker 5 (01:48:23):
Here's one thing I suggest that that becomes part of
what you're doing. The guy should be catching sixty plus
balls a year. He really should. And I guess the
odd thing for me is is that you wanted to
keep him fresh for his carries. That's a good way
to keep a guy fresh. He's in space now, he's

(01:48:45):
operating in a different and it's different than running between
the tackles and have to go in there and take
punishment every time. Operating in space is a carry, but
it's usually not as demanding as running the football when
bodies are beaten on you. He carries a game. I
can give him the ball less in the run game,
extend him with some throws in the passing game and

(01:49:06):
get the same result, if not better. I think one
of the great most underused weapons in this league is
a running back who can catch and create mismatches, and
you're not milking that for all you can get. How
many yards receiving do you think he had this this
regular less than three hundred three or nine? How many
receptions do you think he had less than forty thirty six?

(01:49:28):
How many targets do you think.

Speaker 2 (01:49:30):
Well, less than ten more than the catches.

Speaker 4 (01:49:33):
Fifty two okay, thirty six receptions on fifty two targets
for just three hundred and nine yards.

Speaker 2 (01:49:39):
It's got to be better.

Speaker 5 (01:49:39):
It's good that that has to be more if that's
not a part of this game plan, and it doesn't
mean eight of them. Four five screen, slow screen, a
little option out of the backfield when you anticipate man covers,
let him work on a linebacker or a safety advantage mixing,
let him go up, do some work boom, give him
a three way break. If its zone, sit him down,

(01:50:01):
throw a six yard check down to him and or options.

Speaker 2 (01:50:04):
Sit and let's go.

Speaker 5 (01:50:05):
If it's man covered, let him work on him and
run away. It's in quarterback dross back. It's it's it's that,
or throw it outside the numbers on a comeback. That's
a set that's sitting down on a on a deep comeback,
sitting on the sideline waiting for a twenty yard checkdown
is basically what it becomes.

Speaker 2 (01:50:19):
Let him work.

Speaker 5 (01:50:21):
I don't understand when you got a guy you spend
all the time in training camp putting it in the library.
Why has the library been bare? Yeah, throw it to him.
He said, it's been on his mind, meaning Bobby's slow.
So so then what implement it? Well, I got news
for you. If you don't have if you're not using
every ounce of bandwid this week, you'll be watching next week.

Speaker 2 (01:50:41):
Yeah, you'll be on the couch. You will be watching
next week. Yeah. So you have to get him involved
in the passing game. And listen, the ball ain't heavy.

Speaker 5 (01:50:50):
You know how many times Joe Mixon's coming out of
the game if it's me this week, plus it's not
one hundred and five degrees and hot Joe mix, and
he's gonna be he ain't. He's He's going all even
though it's one side of the ball, he is going
all Travis Hunter this week. Brother, you better be prepared
to play sixty five snaps and you're doing all of them, yeah,
because I need you in all of them.

Speaker 16 (01:51:13):
Man.

Speaker 5 (01:51:14):
Uh that he's he's a he's a football playing Jesse. Yeah,
at least let me come out of this with an
or in my hand, right, Yeah, I gotta have something
to paddle with, right, and he's a pretty good one.

Speaker 2 (01:51:25):
Yeah. So we'll see.

Speaker 4 (01:51:27):
Can the Texans learn anything from that let down feeling
after losing to Baltimore in the Divisional round last year.

Speaker 2 (01:51:33):
We'll discuss the.

Speaker 1 (01:51:34):
Next Why you're back. This is the Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 2 (01:51:39):
Get back at it.

Speaker 4 (01:51:42):
In the Divisional round on Saturday seven one three, two,
one two five seven nine.

Speaker 2 (01:51:47):
He's number to join Adrian. Welcome in.

Speaker 1 (01:51:51):
Good morning.

Speaker 11 (01:51:52):
Wellas how you doing.

Speaker 2 (01:51:54):
What's happening?

Speaker 16 (01:51:56):
Well, let's see.

Speaker 1 (01:51:59):
Light up my to help California in my kind of.

Speaker 2 (01:52:04):
Way I donated. We'll talk about that off there.

Speaker 3 (01:52:09):
Seana covered it.

Speaker 1 (01:52:10):
I had three worries. Travis Kelsey was number one.

Speaker 19 (01:52:15):
I don't know how they're gonna do it, but it's
gonna be tough, as is the name.

Speaker 2 (01:52:21):
Travis Kelsey.

Speaker 5 (01:52:24):
Uh.

Speaker 19 (01:52:24):
Number two, mister Jones on that line, he was under
control until the fourth quarter. You can go back and
watch he put it one on one with Tunsil. That's
when we had problems. So I wondered they're gonna start
the beginning of the game that way, Bobby Slowy, somebody's

(01:52:47):
been paying attention, dammit. My only question is, like the
last time, what the hell took you so long? And
number three Adam and Adam covered it yesterday. We've been
watching it all season. I watched the game where Troy
Yekman complained about it. The left tackle or the left guard.

Speaker 3 (01:53:09):
For them.

Speaker 19 (01:53:11):
Started early on a game winning drive and he was
never flagged. The announcers complained about it the whole drive.
I'm praying the NFL does not take this game from us.
I want to see the Chief versus the Texans in
an even game.

Speaker 20 (01:53:30):
But for some reason, no matter who's got the ball,
I feel we're gonna see a false flag or an
uncalled call and it's gonna kill us.

Speaker 1 (01:53:43):
Other than that, I'm rolling Ege Town. You know how
we do it around.

Speaker 2 (01:53:48):
Here, fellas.

Speaker 16 (01:53:50):
Have a good day.

Speaker 2 (01:53:51):
It's actually warm out here, Sean.

Speaker 1 (01:53:53):
And do we see you on the golf course today?

Speaker 16 (01:53:56):
Peace.

Speaker 2 (01:53:59):
That's a really good point.

Speaker 5 (01:54:01):
It's supposedly, isn't it supposed to creep into the sixties today?

Speaker 1 (01:54:03):
It is?

Speaker 2 (01:54:04):
Yes, yeah, better get it in.

Speaker 4 (01:54:06):
Why you can't because uh, Sunday through like the next
ten days after that, it's gonna be like forty as
the highs.

Speaker 5 (01:54:11):
Solid ball striker. Okay, that's all you need to know.
Especially I'm gonna give out love in the Farmers. This
started today out San Diego a Tory Pines. The West
Coast swings out of Hawaii. I think it's in San
Diego with the Farmers and then what are Tory Pines.
I'm going out there to pay my to an ode

(01:54:33):
to the Santy golf tournament.

Speaker 2 (01:54:35):
You feel me or not? I don't. No, I don't know.
You never feel me when it goes to the golf.

Speaker 7 (01:54:39):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:54:41):
I caddied for you. What do you mean? Yeah, you
really did. We took it to another level the great
caddies of all times. Yeah, we were like two strokes
off the winner.

Speaker 5 (01:54:49):
Yeah, damn right we were. We gotta get better, damn right,
we do two strokes. Hey, you know what, we don't
hang banners for just being away from the winner, well
unless you're the Lakers. Yeah, we don't do that in
season banners. We don't do that here. But yeah, great
job by you man, great job. But yeah, do you
feel good? About it though the farmers. No, you're not
even looking, are you. No, you don't even care. I'm
looking at the weather that hurts. Yeah, today high a

(01:55:10):
sixty four, sun and clouds. I may have to go because,
like you said, you may not get another round until
next week. Tomorrow high is sixty eight and then buddy
it it's cold. Think it's Chilbert.

Speaker 2 (01:55:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:55:23):
Yeah, we're expecting some really bad weather Monday and Tuesday,
snow showers, sleet, ice.

Speaker 5 (01:55:31):
You can take two, you can take it off, maybe
a couple of days off. Maybe I think we're thinking
you and I and tripleing. Maybe a little load management issue.

Speaker 2 (01:55:38):
I can tell you.

Speaker 5 (01:55:39):
Right, any how's that, Hammy? If I wake up and
it's snowing, I am not leaving my apartment. No, it's
called safety.

Speaker 2 (01:55:46):
What did I say? Your head gesture? Yeah, well was
that It kind of looked like a triangle. Well, well,
well I ain't doing it, don't what's out? Okay? Show
up or show out?

Speaker 11 (01:56:03):
Wait?

Speaker 2 (01:56:04):
What if you show up? You gotta show out. If
you show up, you're showing out.

Speaker 11 (01:56:07):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:56:08):
So if it starts snowing, you know this city is
shutting down. We're going to the right hand or is
that what you're saying. No, you're gonna roll over and
you're gonna loan and you're gonna go back to sleep.
That's how they're going to the national the national guy
that we're gonna let them take over before right.

Speaker 4 (01:56:23):
Yeah, it's gonna be brutally cold next week here in
the city, So get that golf in today and tomorrow
because actually Saturday's gonna beautiful day, sixty and sunny.

Speaker 5 (01:56:34):
It'd be nice to start throwing it at flagsticks. And
then it's gonna drop forty degrees.

Speaker 4 (01:56:38):
It's literally gonna drop like the high on Tuesday is
projected to be like thirty one degrees with a lower twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:56:45):
So fun.

Speaker 4 (01:56:47):
Get out there on the golf course. Man, excuse me,
let's let's hear from Dimiico Ryans. He spoke about learning
and what they could take away from from losing to
the Ravens last year in the divisional round.

Speaker 21 (01:57:02):
This is what Demiko Ryans had to say. Our guys
have learned a lot about you know. First off, you
have that letdown you feel you know, you know what
it feels like to not get it done at this
moment and how close you are right so I hope
that kind of spurns our guys to understand, like, man,
the heightened importance of what it takes to really own

(01:57:25):
the moment. Right, this is our moment here right now,
Like how do you go own the moment? And to
make sure that we continue to get more time together
as a team, Like understand from last year where we
had mishaps and it didn't quite go our way?

Speaker 2 (01:57:39):
Like what are we going to do about it? What
did you learn from that? And how can you be better?

Speaker 1 (01:57:43):
Man?

Speaker 4 (01:57:43):
That's a Demiico Ryans talking about the loss last year
to the Baltimore Ravens. Can you learn something from a
loss over a year ago?

Speaker 2 (01:57:53):
I think it's worth I think it's so we still
have two minutes. Yeah we got half. I uh, I
think you can.

Speaker 5 (01:58:01):
But you also have to go and to get that
it's a different team. They're same, but they're not gonna
give you the same stuff. But yeah, you can learn.
It's not even just who the team is. You can
learn from how it turned out.

Speaker 16 (01:58:13):
Right.

Speaker 5 (01:58:13):
But yes, listen, if you've watched enough, you have a
pretty good idea what Kansas City's gonna do. They're gonna
give you the okie doke on some they're not listen.
They're not gonna gimmick you to death. While they do
pull out some gimmicks, but their gimmicks are plays they've
worked on and they expect to work. It's not just
one of those will keep the defense off bounds with
a double pass, pitch back to the quarterback and throw it.
They think that they've done it enough or they've dialed

(01:58:34):
it up that you've found. They found the weeks, they
think it's gonna work. They use it as they would like.
It's gonna be an inside zone run. So yeah, you
can learn, and more importantly, it's the emotional mental part
of what happened here, what happened here and why, as
opposed to you're still facing Mahomes, you're still facing Andy Reid,
you're still facing Kelsey, you're still facing Chris Jones. Same guys,
just maybe the same rap or actually just a few

(01:58:57):
different bodies. So you know what, and the one thing
you're facing, probably more than anything, is that overbearing sense
of this is the team to always beat in January.
That's something you have to overcome because it can be
intimidating going into their building. I think the defense will
fly around. How the offense aggressiveness stays in This will
be a big part of this big part. Yeah, easy

(01:59:17):
to play it safe when you're going into an opponent's
building in January.

Speaker 4 (01:59:20):
I hope you're hanging around. I let it did I agree?
Letter rep smartly, but let it go. Yeah, let's get
into the nine o'clock hour. Let's talk about the University
of Texas quarterback Quin Yours declaring for the draft. There's
also a new report out that came out this morning

about Quinn Yours declaring for the NFL Draft. This segment
seven one three seven Nighties and never to joins. Grab
it for a quick phone call. Brandon, good morning, Hey.

Speaker 2 (02:01:14):
Good morning guys. Love the show as always too.

Speaker 9 (02:01:16):
And I just want to kind of go into that,
uh signing of Kevin Alberty as that number seven international prospect,
and I think it was a great job of Scalluty
Department two to go over there and like I said,
just continue to get some of the best players out there.
You mentioned signing twenty guys, and into that story that
I read was that Albert just give a sixty three
at the time he was sixteen years old. He's kind
of long and lanky resembles uh Kyle Tucker a little bit.

(02:01:36):
So hopefully that's a nice kind of you know, cashing
those chips right there, and and he becomes a guy
that can develop in that in that farm system too
as well. And it just always that that Scalty department
has a great eye for talent too. And I kind
of wanted to get you guys take on a little
bit of just you know what a few weeks out
now from pitchers and catchers reporting up, but kind of
keep hearing uh Sean a little bit about uh, you know,

(02:01:57):
Verdugo and of course uh Randall Gritzig, the hometown, the
pirates of that interesting gritch you here in there. And
of course the contracts can still be you know, agreed upon.
Still a lot of great free agent class. And I still,
you know, think that Bregman's going at fire and Scott Boris.
I really feel like I Boris has really screwed him over.
I mean, they should have took that that six and
one fifty six early on in the off season there
too as well. He and I with you, Brian yesterday

(02:02:17):
you talked about that at twenty six would have been
a good number I mean you had all the marketing
stuff with ATV and stuff like that, with you know,
commercials and everything he was doing for endorsements. I'm just
surprised that he walked away from that on the table
thinking they could get two hundred plus, because ever since
that finished second the MVP voting in twenty nineteen, I
just did I didn't think he was he was a
two hundred million dollar player.

Speaker 5 (02:02:36):
And I'll hang up and listen guys, and y'all stay warm,
take care. Thank you, Brandon, appreciate the call. Yeah, I
mean we we hit on it in the six o'clock
hour talking about the Alex Brigman excuse me, and Scott
Boris situation. But one thing that Brandon mentioned, Shawn is
the outfield. They've got to go add somebody to the taffield,
whether it's a Dugo or Gritchick.

Speaker 2 (02:02:56):
What's the guys? Who else did we mention?

Speaker 3 (02:02:58):
Ah?

Speaker 4 (02:02:58):
My gosh, driving me nuts jerks and profar is another name. Uh,
somebody just add to your houtfield.

Speaker 5 (02:03:06):
Yeah, Verdugo gives you a good left handed bat, right,
got some pop. At one point during the year the
majority he was hitting clean up.

Speaker 2 (02:03:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:03:16):
If if I'm not mistaken for a lot of it right,
at least part well part of it had his ups
and downs. But he gives you or you play him
in what left field? I don't think you're playing him
in right field?

Speaker 2 (02:03:28):
Correct? Playing him in left field? You think he's an
everyday guy? Question is?

Speaker 5 (02:03:33):
I mean he's he's sporadic and streaky, but there's some
attitude with him too.

Speaker 2 (02:03:37):
Correct.

Speaker 5 (02:03:37):
Yeah, I mean he always brings a little bit of that.
He brought it to Boston and was it the Yankees
last year. He's only been on two teams if I
can remember. I don't think there's a third one in there.
Maybe I'm wrong, but when he's starting with it with
the Red Sox, there was always a he he was
like a what's the word I'm looking for? There was
some swagger there that I think would look would would
feel good here, and he's played in big moments. It

(02:04:01):
seems like he'd fit in well. And he's he's kind
of cagy, like I said, streaky player, but gives you
a little bit of something, adds depth to And the
truth of the matter is, judging from the one I
see in the outfield, he'd be an everyday player for them.

Speaker 2 (02:04:13):
So he started his career with the Dodgers. Oh there.
He got three years with the Dodgers and then went
over to.

Speaker 5 (02:04:18):
He wasn't much as a factor. When he gave to
the Red Sox, he became a big you know it
seemed to be a better player. At least I wasn't
paying attention with he was a Dodger, but when he
was Red Sue. Obviously, he did some good things in Boston,
and like I said, at one point in time he
was in the middle of the lineup in New York.

Speaker 4 (02:04:32):
Dude, he's he hit two eighty nine and twenty twenty one,
he hit two eighty and twenty twenty two. He hit
two sixty five and twenty twenty three. This past year
the numbers dipped a little bit, but he would be
an upgrade to year outfield.

Speaker 2 (02:04:45):
Right, and he can play both corner outfields, yeah he can.

Speaker 5 (02:04:48):
And he also there's some pop there with some he's
got a little bit of he's got a little bit
of pop in his bat, but he's going to hit
you two sixty five to two eighty and in this
lineup had probably improved. So depending on what the price
will be, but he's been like I said, I don't
know how good he was with the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (02:05:05):
I mean the Dodgers in twenty nineteen he hit two
ninety five. There you go, and that's why he was
able to leave. Ohs almost nine hundred.

Speaker 5 (02:05:11):
Boston went and got him. I just my focus was
on him when he was with the Red Sox and stuff.
So but a guy who probably you know, is gonna
spend a couple of years and go play and help
somebody else. He's the guy you keep putting on your roster, right. Yeah,
it's like a key k Hernandez. He's an every day guy,
right exactly. So it's like, okay, who we've Oh, we
can get this guy at a cheaper price. But he
can play one hundred and fifty games, that's verdugo. Yeah,

(02:05:32):
and he's let's see, he doesn't miss very much time. No,
he's and he's got some attitude too, which I'm okay with.

Speaker 2 (02:05:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:05:39):
See one hundred and one hundred and six games in
twenty nineteen, so miss a little bit there, one hundred
and forty six and twenty twenty one, one fIF twenty
twenty two, one two, and then one forty nine.

Speaker 5 (02:05:49):
So he's pretty durable. Yes he is, so he would
be an upgrade for damnage right and his last year
and the Dodgers. He was good, which made the Red
Sox jump all over that. And he did some good
things with the Red Sox and has done some good
things in the American League. He's a he's a good
and if you weren't playing him every day, which you would, Yeah,
he's still a guy who can move around and like
I said, an open stance and made bode well for

(02:06:09):
that right field fence here as well. That got an upgrade,
got a upgrade with pictures of catchers reporting in less
than a month, No doubt it's gotta happen.

Speaker 4 (02:06:16):
All right, Let's talk about Texas quarterback Quin Yours. He
declared yesterday for the NFL Draft, pretty much right after
we got off the air.

Speaker 2 (02:06:24):
Excuse me.

Speaker 4 (02:06:25):
He's projected as of right now to be anywhere between
a late first round pick or somewhere middle of the
road in the third round, so basically a first round
or third round pick. He was also reportedly this came
from twenty two four to seven sports dot Com, that
he was offered eight million dollars in nil to transfer

(02:06:49):
to an unnamed school to forego the draft and play
his senior season. But his high school coach was interviewed yesterday,
and let's see, let me get the quote correct.

Speaker 2 (02:07:03):
It was Riley Dodge. He was the Todd Dodge's son. Correct.

Speaker 5 (02:07:06):
He played college football and played at South Lake Carroll
and Todd Dodge was was well a legend at South
Lake Carroll and also agend he went to North Texas.
I mean he's been in North Texas, been like a
coordinated he then he came back and coached at West
Westlake and they want to stay. He walked off from
winning a state title. Yeah, and I think he coached

(02:07:27):
cad Club Nick. He did, Yeah, he did.

Speaker 4 (02:07:29):
So it was caid Club Nick versus quin you weers
in that state final and his dad versus son. Exactly. Yeah,
it was Westlake versus South Lake Carrol. He said, Uh,
Riley Dodge was yours high school coach.

Speaker 16 (02:07:41):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (02:07:41):
He told two four seven that he said, quote, Texas
was the only place he wanted to play college football.
He wanted to leave Texas in good standing end quote.
So he wasn't gonna transfer anybody else. It was either
come back when I'm sure he knew that it was
arch Manning's time or go to the draft, and he
went to the draft.

Speaker 5 (02:07:57):
I believe if arch Manning wasn't there, Quinn Yours would
be back. I think I just think the the you know,
I'm sure, the alumni pressure and stuff, and to put
him in and the name matters, and he's a good player,
and and give you a little different feel for his
feet than Quinn yours and then you know yours with
the big arm, I think he would have been listen.

Speaker 2 (02:08:16):
It's this is why I think he's gonna.

Speaker 5 (02:08:17):
End up a second depending on what kind of off
season he has in front of It only takes one
guy to love you in your offseason workout in shorts
and and in shorts and a T shirt, he will
look impressive.

Speaker 2 (02:08:27):
Second third round guy.

Speaker 5 (02:08:28):
If somebody panics and wants to get up into the
first and say let's get him late in the first,
so you're getting a big throw that needs to develop.
He's not ready to start as a rookie. Remember he's
still younger because he reclassified and left after his junior
year at South Lake Carrol So and he's had good
coaches at the at the high school level, and he
had good coach in college obviously in Steve Sarkisian, who

(02:08:50):
knows the quarterback position, so he's been well schooled. He's
gonna have to polish up a few mechanics and it'd
be a little tighter with his mechanics, but the guy
can throw it. So I think it's a trip to
him to not take the eight million and leave. And
he wanted to be known as a Longhorn because at
that point in time they need to go on to
Ohio State Longhorns and somewhere else. And it feels like
he doesn't want to get lumped into that. Oh I
just kept leaving and leaving and money, chase the money,

(02:09:12):
go to the NFL and chase that money. Yeah, And
so I don't blame him for it. And the time
is right, and he'll have to have a really dedicated,
important offseason so he can. You know, he's probably a
guy in year two or three that you say, Okay,
let's see how the development is and let's go play.

Speaker 4 (02:09:27):
Who do you think the first quarterback taken will be?
You think it'll be cam Ward or should or Sanders.
He's just giving you those two options. For my money,
I would take Sanders ahead of cam Ward. But I
don't think in a normal year, if it wasn't a
week quarterback class, I don't believe either one of them
or top five picks, but both of them may be

(02:09:48):
now because of the desperate need. Every year, there's a
desperate need for a quarterback somewhere, and I think they're
both really good players.

Speaker 5 (02:09:56):
And they may develop. Like I said, I'm just talking
about now what we know now. I mean, I thought
Jay Daniel was going to be a hell of an
NFL player. Do you think he'd be this good this fast? No,
we didn't think Stroud would be this good this fast.
Some guys just developed quicker and different. Some guys takes
a minute. So I think they both have a chance.
But I'm not ready to turn my franchise over to
either one of them yet. But I think they're both

(02:10:18):
first round picks and both are going to be probably
picked in the top ten. They just are maybe in
the top five. But the timing of them coming out
is perfect for them because of the needs at the top.
So I'd go Sanders first Ward second.

Speaker 4 (02:10:30):
CBS Sports put out a excuse me, a mock draft
this morning, and they've got the Tennessee Titans taking cam
Ward with the first overall pick.

Speaker 5 (02:10:40):
Well, he's gonna give you better, better legs, he's going
to extend play. He's gonna give you better that, and
he's a playmaker. What he did have is some late
game heroics. Sometimes he'd start slow but found a way
to get it done.

Speaker 2 (02:10:51):
And he's more.

Speaker 5 (02:10:52):
He's been in college football for a minute now, so
he gives you that kind of like bo Nix was
in college football for a minute. And I think six
and one half dozen there. Do I think that there's
a blatant difference between the two.

Speaker 2 (02:11:03):
I don't. I don't.

Speaker 5 (02:11:06):
We're gonna find out who's who gives you more stable
or who's more stability, But those are your first two.
But I think you can also get some value with
the viewers later or a Jackson Dart later.

Speaker 2 (02:11:17):
Some of these guys that aren't going to go high,
that are like hmm, grab him in the third round.
The guy might be a player.

Speaker 5 (02:11:23):
Right, So it's I don't have the same expectations for
this class as I do for others. But in the end,
somebody is going to be a great player, and some
guy that we thought was going to be a great
player be out a league in five years?

Speaker 4 (02:11:36):
Should They got Shador Sanders going the third overall pick
to the New York Giants.

Speaker 2 (02:11:41):
All right, thank you, Travis personality can handle New York.
Travis Hunter going to the Patriots.

Speaker 4 (02:11:46):
The very next pick, who's two two is the Cleveland Browns,
and they've got Abdul Carter, the badass head rusher from Piston.

Speaker 5 (02:11:54):
He's and you put in Miles Garrett. That's a well,
that's how they're going to have to win. That's that's scary.
That guy can flat ass play man.

Speaker 4 (02:12:03):
They got Ashton Genty going to the Dallas Cowboys with
a twelfth overall pick.

Speaker 5 (02:12:08):
Well, the last time the Cowboys took somebody that high
as a running back was the top five pick, and
it was Ezekiel Elliott. And I think that Ada and
gent I, I don't usually subscribe to first round running backs.
I fact, this kid's different. Yeah, and outside the top ten,
I can take my chance there. They need a bell
cow back, absolutely, and so does Dak Prescott.

Speaker 4 (02:12:30):
The Texans in this projection have the twenty fifth overall pick,
and CBS Sports has them taking Walter Nolan defensive alignment
from Ole miss.

Speaker 5 (02:12:43):
My belief is it will be alignment on either side
of the ball, at least, as we said here, now
a million things will happen between now and then.

Speaker 2 (02:12:50):
Oh yeah, of course, way too early to be talking
NFL draft, but both of.

Speaker 5 (02:12:54):
Those quarterbacks will be top picks, top five to ten
picks because of the desperate need for some of.

Speaker 2 (02:13:00):
These teams, right, and there's some desperate teams. That's no damp. Sure.

Speaker 4 (02:13:04):
As we continue to talk football, let's look at the
coaching carousel in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (02:13:10):
What in the hell or the Dallas Cowboy was going
to do? That's next?

Speaker 12 (02:13:14):
Change your loofah sponge monthly great and right now, listen
to more Sean Salisbury.

Speaker 2 (02:13:21):
That's your job, man, what'd you get paid for?

Speaker 12 (02:13:23):
A pro tip from Houston's official Listen while scrubbing your
butt Mornings Sports show.

Speaker 2 (02:13:32):
Were you tread and lightly? I think a lot of
people were.

Speaker 5 (02:13:35):
There was a lot of energy in the building, and
the Texas came out and while they struggled early, when
they made that big play with Stroud.

Speaker 2 (02:13:41):
Things changed. So now they're going on the road. I'm
curious how many people are headed to the game. Number one, but.

Speaker 5 (02:13:46):
Two is if you were I don't like this team
or how they've played. I liked the team, and I
don't like how they like they've played the last month,
or I didn't like how they played against Baltimore, I
don't like how they played offensively. If that's what you
thought is most of the time all season long, you've
been part of the rest of us who think the
inconsistent potentials there. But the inconsistency has been validated, and

(02:14:08):
that they just up and down and haven't put back
to back offensive games together where you're like, wow, like
it happened last year.

Speaker 2 (02:14:15):
They had some wold games last year.

Speaker 5 (02:14:16):
This second half of this game against the Chargers was
a lot of wild factor moments.

Speaker 2 (02:14:21):
It really was.

Speaker 5 (02:14:23):
So if you went into last week wondering if they
could handle the Chargers, I know that the confidence and
it's the home of course, if you're a local or
a Homer and you love it and I don't mean
Homer in a negative way, that that's your team and
you weren't going to pick against them no matter what.
You may have felt good, but in private, when you're
sitting by yourself and you're talking to yourself, did you
feel great?

Speaker 2 (02:14:44):
All right?

Speaker 5 (02:14:44):
So now I ask you what this week would the
confidence level go from last week to this week. Momentum,
I assure you, does not exist game to game. Baltimore
Ravens aren't winning game after game because of momentum. They're
winning game after game because they're kicking people's ass every
time they line up. Confidence grows, but momentum gets stopped

(02:15:05):
in a hurry on one bad series in the first quarter,
and then the momentum stopped.

Speaker 2 (02:15:10):
How do you gather at in game momentum. I do
believe it.

Speaker 5 (02:15:12):
I've said it a million times football, there's a week
in between that it could carry that momentum. It's called
carrying the attitude and the preparation and the confidence. So
I'm curious it's seven one three, two, one two five,
seven ninety where your level is as opposed to Thursday
of last week going in, I personally feel better now.

(02:15:34):
I don't feel better about them going in beating cancer.
I think they got a better chance. If I was
betting the mortgage, it would not be on the Texans
with the point spread. It would but in a moneyline
situation where I was betting on just that if it
was win or lose, I wouldn't bet the mortgage on
the Texans this week.

Speaker 2 (02:15:49):
That's just honest.

Speaker 5 (02:15:51):
But if the point spreads at eight seven and a
half eight, I'm taking the Texans. I believe they're good
enough defensively and with flashes off to do this if
they play aggressive.

Speaker 2 (02:16:02):
I do, and I'm a big believer of it.

Speaker 5 (02:16:06):
And so I believe in this team more this week
than I did last week because what I saw from
last week now, the team you're playing is different. The
Chargers are good, but Kansas City's different because Jane they
just beat to a different drumming in January. And it
does matter experience, playoff does, and in this sport it
matters about as much as anything the believability.

Speaker 2 (02:16:25):
So I do believe.

Speaker 5 (02:16:27):
I feel better about the Texans team this week, whether
they win or lose. I feel better going in on
Thursday than I did against the Chargers. Chiefs are a
better team, but I also think the Texans are a
better team than they were three weeks ago. Now, if
that has to do with the mental and emotion and
preparation side, great, but I think they're coming into this

(02:16:49):
game feeling they match up well, that they've got perimeter
people on defense that can take away Worthy at the
line of scrimmage, just don't miss because he's so fast
and can at least give Elsie some trouble, but you
can't do it from ten yards off the ball. Whoever
you decide is going to be the physical manhandler at
the line of scrimmage following Kelsey.

Speaker 2 (02:17:11):
He's got to be physical. So I do feel better
about him.

Speaker 5 (02:17:14):
But I also know that it's real that the Chiefs
know how to win these games, regardless of the officiating.
They're going to give you a ton of different looks
and they're going to nickel and dine you to death,
and then when you get tired of that, then they
will hit a big play.

Speaker 2 (02:17:28):
So but I do feel I think the Texans are
going to give me. I think it's a fourth quarter game.

Speaker 5 (02:17:32):
H I still think it's advantage Chiefs for the reasons
of being here, having been there, who the coach is.
And that's not to take away from anything that Bobby
said that Demiko Ryans has done, but I'm just asking
the question. At Thursday last week, I didn't feel great
about the Texans.

Speaker 2 (02:17:48):
What do you mean you're supposed to be you work
for the city.

Speaker 5 (02:17:50):
Yeah, right, And then Thursday of this week. I feel better.
Although I don't feel better about them winning the game.
I think they're closer to winning the game than I
would have felt they were two weeks again the Chiefs.
So if they were playing the Chiefs last week, I
would have been like, I don't like this. I feel
better about them now, and I would take them in
a bet you lay and given me eight points, I

(02:18:11):
would kild the Texans. I feel better about their team now.
A lot of that's gonna have to do with Knancie.
I feel better about the overall offense, defense, the team
going in this week. I'm not talking about result. I'm
talking about my feelings of confidence going in had the
way I felt last week. If it was the Chiefs

(02:18:32):
they were playing last week on the road, I would
have felt that's a double digit win by the Chiefs
after what I saw with Baltimore, regardless of the Tennessee Titans,
that was one series. I feel better about the team.
I still think they're gonna have to do a lot
of things because this isn't just performance on the field.
There's a lot of things that go into beating the Chiefs,
and they're building with a team that this is not

(02:18:55):
foreign soil. For I'm not even talking about where they're
playing the experience of postseason football.

Speaker 2 (02:19:01):
This is secondary to the Chiefs, although they don't play
like a secondary.

Speaker 4 (02:19:05):
You talked about taking them in a bet. So when
I sent out our topics last night, the line had
gone up to eight and a half. I even saw
one book had him at nine, meaning the Kansas City Chiefs.
It's back to eight this morning. Why does it switch
like that? Well, how were the money's coming in?

Speaker 2 (02:19:22):
Within twelve hours?

Speaker 4 (02:19:23):
It went from like yesterday yesterday when we started the show,
it was at seven and a half. Then by eight
o'clock yesterday morning it was eight. Last night it was
eight and a half. And like I said, I saw
sportsbook that had him at nine. I can just back
down to eight.

Speaker 5 (02:19:40):
I can tell you right now the line's not done
moving and so but I well, how do you feel
about them not them beating Kansas City? I know you
said that you think they can and I think they
can too.

Speaker 2 (02:19:52):
Well will they? I don't know?

Speaker 5 (02:19:53):
They got to execute Hell, oh, it's a crapshoot for
all of us. We don't know how they're feeling. But
I'm just talking about for the team. Forget the opponent
for a second. You feel better about them this week
than you did last week to get the opponent as
an overall team, I do, Yeah, Yeah, so do I Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:20:07):
I think that's even with their wide receivers down a
little bit and John Mechi is your number two now.

Speaker 2 (02:20:13):
Yeah. And I feel better about the Chiefs than I
do about the Chargers.

Speaker 4 (02:20:15):
Yeah, I feel I feel better going into this game
than I did going into the Chargers game.

Speaker 5 (02:20:21):
To be honest with you, Oh, there's no doubt now
whether they can pull off the win or not. I
still think they're gonna I have confidence that they're going
to play good football.

Speaker 2 (02:20:28):
Yeah. I think this game. I was concerned offensively last week.

Speaker 4 (02:20:31):
I think this game will be like a twenty four
to twenty one game or a twenty four to seventeen game,
something something like that. I think it'll be a struggle
at times for both offenses because their defenses are both
really good. And I think it's going to come down
to something in the fourth quarter. That's what I think

(02:20:52):
is going to happen. But I do feel better as
a team for the Texans this time around that I
did last week. I was I was really concerned about
the offense.

Speaker 2 (02:21:00):
Even though the opponent's better. I do feel better about
them now.

Speaker 5 (02:21:05):
I think a lot in the question that you have
to ask, and I don't think anybody can give us
this answer that calls in or even you and I.
How will the offense perform on the aggressive side against
the Chiefs going in and how will they adjust when
they're have a few series? Put it this way, I

(02:21:25):
don't think if you start the first quarter and a
half the way you did last week, offensively, not defensively.
I love the way they started. Matter of fact, they
played lights out the whole time. It won't be six
to nothing. It'll be worse than that.

Speaker 2 (02:21:38):
Right, Yeah, you can't.

Speaker 5 (02:21:39):
And then they'll they'll do everything they can to control
it and try to limit every single possession you have.

Speaker 4 (02:21:44):
Seven two five, seven nineties the number to join. Will
continue to talk about the East Houston Texans. There's some
news in regards to Bobby Slowk that just dropped this morning.
What's that about? And also let's keep talking about that
offense for the Houston Texans and how they will get
Nico co On into space and let him uh you
know what, just flat out let him cook let's talk

(02:22:04):
about it.

Speaker 2 (02:22:04):
Next, and the Sewn Salisbury Show continued.

Speaker 4 (02:22:11):
To say, real quick before we get back out to
the phone lines of seven one, three, two, two five
seven ninety Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik is gonna interview
today with the Jets for their head coaching vacancy. Good luck, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby,
Let's go, bod Luck Robert. Okay, I have a Rob Slovac.

(02:22:35):
Bob Slovak. Yeah, even though it's Slowak, we like to
put a V in there, right for.

Speaker 2 (02:22:40):
Some reason we do. Okay? Yeah.

Speaker 16 (02:22:43):
Is it a.

Speaker 5 (02:22:46):
Distraction when you're interviewing for the biggest game of your life,
for the biggest job of your life. I don't think so,
don't you That is a distraction. I'm just asking so.
This one's a I mean, I don't care if it's
zoom or not. Yeah, it's a zoom meaning yeah, I'm
not saying it is.

Speaker 2 (02:23:04):
I'm asking you, Okay.

Speaker 5 (02:23:11):
If a player today spent three hours, it's a Thursday, huh,
spent three hours talking to Madison Avenue on a couple
indorsements they wanted to do, and they were talking to
companies and how they're going to would you be concerned
at all about the player on Sunday or Saturday that
they're calling it. It's a big deal. It's Thursday practice.

(02:23:33):
They already had practice. I don't know when these interviews
and I'm assuming after practice.

Speaker 4 (02:23:38):
I don't think. I don't think it is just because
of today being Thursday. Yeah, so that's what I was
going to lead into, Well, who's the player right?

Speaker 2 (02:23:46):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (02:23:46):
Like, what how do they handle their business? New in
the new in the NFL? They want year one, year two,
year three, they have veteran they've been doing this a while.
What's their practice or you know, how do they practice?
How do they handle their business inside the building so
that we're not privy to I wouldn't. I think it depends.
I think it's a case by case basis.

Speaker 5 (02:24:03):
A great and I'm not saying anything. I just want
to broach the subject because people will.

Speaker 4 (02:24:09):
Yeah, because you know what, every year you've you've had
the defensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders. They asked him
yesterday because he's he's going to interview for I forgot
which head coaching position, but they asked him and he
said he said, I would be doing a disservice to
my the men in that locker room if I focus
on anything but our upcoming game.

Speaker 2 (02:24:29):
In the playoffs. Is there validity to that? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:24:31):
Absolutely, I think there is. But I also think it
goes back into what we just individual to the individual.

Speaker 5 (02:24:36):
Okay, so that defensive coordinator is like, I couldn't handle
the guilt of feeling that I wasn't especially if it
didn't work out. If you are prepared, right. The only
reason I bring this up because I am listen. You
get an opportunity, you take advantage of your opportunities. But
we ask everybody to be all in. I don't like
the way the NFL schedules it. I almost wish and
I know you wouldn't. I almost wish that once the

(02:24:58):
playoffs started, if you're a playoff team or any team,
because playoff teams are usually looking for head coaches, they're
looking for assistants to be their head coach that didn't
make the playoffs, what if we allowed you to interview
that the first round of interviews for coaches couldn't happen
until after the championship weekend in that two week period.

(02:25:19):
Oh yeah, that would everybody. Everybody has an even playing field.
So it's like the free agent frenzy midnight at Boom.
It kicks in and you just start mad dashing, start
interviewing people. Getting then it'll tell the It'll force the
organizations to get a tight list. Ye, and it'll force
them be focused and it'll be forced them not to
just be we're interviewing twenty guys.

Speaker 2 (02:25:41):
Just interview twenty guys. Yeah, and then everybody has a
fair playing field.

Speaker 5 (02:25:44):
You're not asking somebody who's been an assistant that's devoted
everything that you're asking to play.

Speaker 2 (02:25:48):
We're not listen. CJ.

Speaker 5 (02:25:49):
Stroud ain't going out to interview with another NFL team
during the week because they may want to offer him
more when he's a free agent. I know it's different,
but you get my point right, hyperbolic. I'm not saying
Bobby should under the rules, he should, but it does
beg the question, what does every assistant coach want.

Speaker 2 (02:26:08):
They want to be a head coach.

Speaker 5 (02:26:10):
They want to win for their guys, Yeah, but they
want to be at the end of the day, they
want to get themselves in Soviet for this presentation.

Speaker 2 (02:26:16):
Can you just show up to a zoom call?

Speaker 5 (02:26:19):
And I know he's put believe me, on his off
season time, he's had a plan together for if he
was getting interviewed from last year. But it just can
you be fully into a game plan thinking that if
my interview doesn't go well, I won't get the Jets job. Well,
I believe it does go. Is there part of you
that think about the effort it takes you want to

(02:26:40):
be You're telling me he doesn't want to be a
very best.

Speaker 2 (02:26:43):
For this interview. Oh, absolutely, because he may get the
Jets job. Yeah, but then he also.

Speaker 5 (02:26:48):
Doesn't want to go out and lay an egg against
Kansas City, right, So because he may affect the Jets job.
So then I'm going to relate it back to what
you and I do here on the radio station. One
of the first things that you told me when I
did a fill in show with you you one of
the biggest things that you learned and you were giving
me advice was to always be prepared.

Speaker 2 (02:27:05):
Prepare, prepare as, prepare, prepare, prepare. Right, what is it
proper proper preparation. Preparation prevents piss poor performance.

Speaker 5 (02:27:14):
Right?

Speaker 4 (02:27:14):
So I think this goes into what we're discussing here.
How do you prepare if you are Bobby slog. You
have to be able to compartmentalize preparing for this interview,
and then when that interviews done, you shut it off
and you get your ass right back to preparing for
the chiefs.

Speaker 5 (02:27:29):
Okay, so let's go back to Wednesday. I'm not saying
it happens. I'm just I'm just being the devil's advocate
on all sides, good and bad. When your agent Callsy
and says Jets interviews Thursday at three or at lunchtime
or whatever it is, it's Wednesday. You're on the field
and then you're compartmentalizing. Are you not thinking about it?

Speaker 2 (02:27:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:27:50):
You definitely are just human human nature, Yeah, one hundred percent.
Are you not thinking about yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:27:53):
Your does it take away for I mean, think about
in anything we do, you're always thinking about Yeah, because
how many everybody wants to be a head coach. But
it's it's such a weird that That's why I almost
feel like it's unfair to the assistance. I think it
is because if you're a player, you're saying, well, he
want me all in. But wait a minute, you're taking
three and you had to prepare for that, and then

(02:28:15):
you're going to come out of it and say, man,
how did I do?

Speaker 2 (02:28:17):
Did I do it?

Speaker 5 (02:28:18):
And I know the coach You can say, listen, it's here.
I'm devoted to these guys. You're doing an interview now
and wants the interview's over.

Speaker 2 (02:28:23):
It's over, but it's not.

Speaker 16 (02:28:27):
Right.

Speaker 5 (02:28:28):
But you're going to say all the right things. I'm
not even just talking about Boby Sloke. I'm talking about
anybody you want to put up. Bobby Slope wants to
have the greatest interview of his life for the Jets
head coaching job. He also wants to put on the
greatest offensive show of his life. Yeah, is there time
for both emotionally, I'm not saying physically. Well, I think
coaches don't sleep much anyway.

Speaker 2 (02:28:45):
Right. Then then then it goes into who's the individual.
Then it goes into who the individual is and how
do they handle their business? Are they a pro? Meaning
be a professional in whatever job you're doing.

Speaker 5 (02:28:55):
If they lose and the offense is not good, oh,
you already know it's going to come back to Even
if it didn't have anything to do with it, people
are gonna say he was sidetracked by the interview. If
they kick ass and he calls the best game of
his life. The next thought is he's gonna interview a
couple more times whatever it is, and he's leaving. So

(02:29:16):
I mean, if if the words that he had, Jets
love him, they're ready to off and they're wait until
they're either eliminating. If he takes it and they don't
play well offensively, you know what's gonna do. You know
what the I'm just saying, there's the can of worms.
It's some if you're just a hater or it bothers you.
Even if he coaches well and had nothing to do
an interception, had nothing to do with the play call,
it will rear it's head, absolutely, and so it did

(02:29:38):
last year. How many he had last year. It's it's
unfair to the coach because if you're the coach, you
want to take advantage of it.

Speaker 2 (02:29:45):
But the NFL. But if you just did this the
two weeks the start of it was the two.

Speaker 5 (02:29:50):
Weeks between AFC Championship game, NFC Champion Game and Super Bowl,
and everybody, even the team that's in the last place.
Now you're putting all your ducks in a row. And
then the free agency for the coach, ching frenzy starts
then wouldn't it be better that way? So now you
know that you're committed to your team, you know your question.
You're a head coach, because if you're the head coach
and guys taking interviews, aren't you also thinking, even though

(02:30:13):
you know the guy and the personality, aren't you thinking
is this going to be He's only a second year coordinator.
This isn't like it's a regular thirty year thing for him.
So I'm hoping he can't and I'm not saying it
will affect it at all. He should interview. I think
the NFL, the way it's setup, put him all on
the same the last place team, the first place, give

(02:30:33):
everybody a fair shot and let them interview when you
really got two or three days off and you just
it isn't a distraction. There's a law. We're Thursday before
a Saturday game. They're interviewing him today. God saying it
It may work out where the moment we're feeling great,
know that feeling when everything's going well and you're like, man,
I just got this bonus. Man I'm gonna go and
you light it up or you get paid in the

(02:30:55):
off season. You go up and you're leading the league
and hitting for the first three months to see because
you're feeling it, maybe that'll be the case, but there's
got to be a motion that goes with it and
say at some point in time his his preparation for
both is getting used up by the other.

Speaker 4 (02:31:10):
Today today and if your Bobby Slow, you have to
take this interview. You can't miss out on it.

Speaker 2 (02:31:14):
Of course, even for the experience of viewing, you have
to take this. You know what to expect, there's no doubt.

Speaker 5 (02:31:19):
So if you have aspirations to be a head coach,
which he does, you have to take this interview.

Speaker 2 (02:31:23):
You can't say no to.

Speaker 5 (02:31:24):
That's why I think the timing in the NFL needs
to change. When right, so he and not just the
playoff team. So now you're you're punishing good coaches from
getting jobs because you're playing in the playoffs. But if
you just made it a time where it opens this
day and everybody can go interview now, we're on now, now,
now it's on Plus. And then selfishly, from a media perspective, dude,
could you imagine us covering that week? It's a fresh frenzy,

(02:31:49):
better made for TV it would be, and radio phenomenal,
no question, far is that we kind of blows and
be honest with you, and it'll And that's a time
when hence why they vote for the Heisman before the
playoffs are over. We want that dead week. We got
to get it going before bold games start the rest.
So I just think I think he should and I
love it. I just think they should change the timing
of it, because if I'm all in, it's hard for me.

(02:32:13):
I can multitask, but it'd be hard for me to
go tell my right guard, yeah, man, I got You'm
all in?

Speaker 2 (02:32:19):
Are you are you?

Speaker 5 (02:32:22):
Are you already? Have you already got your jets assistance hired?
Not saying already is thinking like that? But around him
people will say this. I can promise you they will.
And it may not have anything to do with the
success of the failure of this game, but you're damn
right they will. Will he better be on his be

(02:32:44):
better figured out, better call his best games goes away. Look,
I hope he kicks ass today in the interview. Imp
he kicks ass. That's the ironic thing for a head coach.
You hire coaches to be head coaches, you want them
on their staff, but you hire if you hire good
ones you know, eventually they're leaving you, and so you
better be prepared for. And now Demico's got to start
to think, well, if he leaves, who's in mind? Is

(02:33:05):
it at Gerard Johnson or is it all of a
sudden somebody else is going to rear their head that
I want to pluck a veteran coordinator. We'll see the
collateral damage, good and bad. It it rolls, man, it does.
He's got he's got to compartmentalizes on Bobby. That's what
he's got to do.

Speaker 2 (02:33:21):
Seven one, three, five, seven.

Speaker 4 (02:33:23):
And let's get to the final segment here on a
Thursday edition of The Sean Salisbury Show. How will the
Texans be able to run the football against the Chiefs?

Speaker 2 (02:33:33):
That's next.

Speaker 1 (02:33:35):
This is the Sean Salisbury Show. That's beautiful.

Speaker 4 (02:33:42):
Last call the show for today. Let's talk to Kenneth. Kenneth,
appreciate you holding.

Speaker 2 (02:33:46):
Good morning.

Speaker 13 (02:33:48):
Hey.

Speaker 17 (02:33:49):
John was asking about a confidence level in the team. Man,
I really I really didn't have no predictions anything. I
really just looked at it in perspective, Uh who just
showed up ready to play? Because uh them numbers And
just like that, I'll hear y'all say, who will win
the score the most points win. But I just believe

(02:34:12):
if he coached those guys up on defense and got
them fired up enough, I believe they can run through
a wall man. And they got out there and they
did that, you know. And then I looked at from
the extra those stuff and he and and uh Ryan's
did it. But he think does a damn good job
with uh with his uh with his defensive linemans. And

(02:34:34):
it is rustus because I think he basically our coach
harball because I looked at a formation or sewn. Do
they still call him ten eleven twelve formations on offense.

Speaker 5 (02:34:46):
That's personnel groupings like twelve twelve personnel Yeah, yeah, one back,
two tight ends type of thing.

Speaker 17 (02:34:52):
Yes, So that when he when uh uh when uh
uh and we'll when, we'll will, well, Jimison got that sack.
He must have talked, he must have read he read
it perfectly because he had that guard. He had a
pulling guard came over and hell, a high school coach
would have seen a formation like that. No, he was

(02:35:14):
beat from the beginning.

Speaker 5 (02:35:15):
He was doomed. Man.

Speaker 17 (02:35:17):
He had an anger. You couldn't even block on that
on that formation that he called because I look, if
I remember right, man, I think it was a two
tight end formation on every right there. I wish the
text was used a little bit more. Yeah, c Z
a little bit more on that left, because if I
looked at it right, man, they shifted the line shifted

(02:35:41):
right slightly. But he beat him on that edge.

Speaker 6 (02:35:45):
Man.

Speaker 17 (02:35:46):
I think he got coached him on that.

Speaker 16 (02:35:48):
And uh.

Speaker 17 (02:35:49):
One other thing, man, I always talk about a lot
of games, you know, from the past and stuff like
there used to be a guy used to do. That's
what he did. Those classics for me just kind of
last in my mind and something just stand up. And
I remember el Way, he had a busted play right
there on the gold line and then he hit he

(02:36:12):
hit it up to about the sixteen. But he came
in on that second play and he did a run.
And he did and I and I said, remind you
of something, And I remember now he took a run
just like CJ did when he's seen that open field.
He slid just about the same way.

Speaker 2 (02:36:30):
Head first.

Speaker 17 (02:36:31):
He caught that knee in his head. They had to
teach him his name again. And that's when I got
to see qb Ac. Qbac came in that sharpest tack.
I don't know why. I think Qbac was just in
the wrong place at the at the wrong time, because
that was a damn good quarterback. They didn't win, man,
but boy, that qb Ac was a great quarterback, you know.

(02:36:53):
But thank you for your time.

Speaker 2 (02:36:54):
Appreciate Kenneth.

Speaker 5 (02:36:56):
I got Gary was the hell of a backup and
probably could have started for a lot of teams. He
just happened to come in at the same time Elway did.

Speaker 2 (02:37:01):
So there you go. I hate what I'm about to read.

Speaker 4 (02:37:05):
Got some breaking news coming out of Major League Baseball
coming from the Milwaukee Brewers. They announced officially, we are
heartbroken to announce that the Brewers Icon of Baseball Hall
of Famer Bob Yucker passed away today at the age
of ninety.

Speaker 2 (02:37:19):
I to hate that.

Speaker 5 (02:37:20):
He was one of my absolute favorites. So buddy, my
one of my good buddies is a plays golf with
him in Arizona. I mean, the stories are the memorial
service ought to be ten thousand deep.

Speaker 2 (02:37:35):
That guy's beloved. That's saying, what a great life live though.

Speaker 4 (02:37:39):
Longtime voice of the Brewers, he was in Major League
and Major League two as obviously the play by play
guy for the Indians in that movie.

Speaker 5 (02:37:48):
Finest If there's if you can find somebody that says
something other than they love Bob Buker or that he's
made them laugh at some point in their life, good
luck fine in that person that. If you can find
the one who says he has a yeah from all
from people I know that know him extremely well love him,
that's sad. God bless him in his family. What a

(02:38:09):
run for Bob Buker.

Speaker 4 (02:38:10):
He was Harry Doyle in the movies Major League and
Major League two. He was with the Brewers dating all
the way back to nineteen seventy one.

Speaker 5 (02:38:18):
One of the most beloved is not the most beloved
person in Brewer's history, and that's Molitor and Robin. Yet
Bob Buker's in that class with the way that people
should revere him.

Speaker 2 (02:38:29):
That's tough man. What a bummer natural causes? Um let
me double check.

Speaker 5 (02:38:35):
Regardless ninety years old, the guy got everything out of
life you could get. I mean, he he was phenomenal
and loved life from all indications. Anybody that I've talked
to that knows him great human being, good for him.
And they don't list anything years old. It's a hell
of a run. It's a bummer to hear that absolute legend.
God bless him in his family.

Speaker 2 (02:38:57):
Bober at the age of ninety sucks.

Speaker 15 (02:38:59):
Man.

Speaker 2 (02:38:59):
I hate show on that, but I just saw it
come across and yeah, but it also one of the
best in a good way.

Speaker 5 (02:39:04):

him will put a smile on your fresh is one
of the all time greats.

Speaker 2 (02:39:09):
I already wir.

greatest moments from Major League and Major League two and
