half games over Seattle.
Speaker 8 (02:26):
Robert Ford, Kevin Harlan CBS no not, I would probably
say what's downtrodden Danny? Probably, I think probably is this morning.
Would by the way, with that we say away we
go and good morning. Here on the Shawn Salisbury Show,
I would probably say down trodden down.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
He's really a sports guy that got you that down
there a little bit, a little bit.
Speaker 8 (02:49):
I mean, overall, was a good weekend, you know, I'm
not going to take that from it. Saturday night was great.
Speaker 9 (02:54):
Well it was it your LSU Tigers kind of won.
They didn't play good.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
It was an ugly game.
Speaker 8 (02:58):
But I mean, is my good buddy Matt Moscono over
there says you learn nothing from those games. If they
beat them forty five to seven, then it's uh, oh yeah,
well you're supposed to beat them forty five to seven.
Speaker 9 (03:07):
Right exactly Saturday, I mean, the Astros lose the series.
Texans were part of groundhog Day. They looked exactly the
same as they did last year.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
It was almost like like you didn't even have an offseason.
You didn't even have a chance to be able to
like evaluate, Hey, how do we not have so many
pre snap penalties?
Speaker 7 (03:27):
Listen? Hey, how do we get off the field on
third down?
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
How do we block someone? How do we not have
self inflicted errors?
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Like all of it?
Speaker 7 (03:35):
It's crazy stuff.
Speaker 9 (03:36):
And I know there were some injuries they had to
move around, but that's that's football. But even when they
didn't have injuries, I'm telling you what, ca Cam Robinson's
gonna have trouble blocking anybody, dude that they walk them
back in. I mean can't get out of their stance.
They got, they got. We said that was a concern,
but there's no way they could be worse. At the
offensive line, I'm not sure we're red. They couldn't move
(03:58):
a pile. Nick Chubb had to work to get extra yards.
They just and why Nico Collins offensive coordinator looked it
looked a little in.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
Over his head at times. He did.
Speaker 9 (04:10):
I'm not saying it's his first time all coordinating. He
was not solid. I mean he was okay.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
Yeah, I'd probably say, yeah.
Speaker 9 (04:19):
Well, you're not gonna win many games when you do
that to yourself and have a c minus. I I
why when you got a receiver like Nico Collins, you
just can't feed him three or four times.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
You just can't.
Speaker 9 (04:29):
You've got to you got to create formations to do.
I'm not saying Nick Kaylee will be fine. I know
it's one game. I'm overreaction Sunday now as opposed to Saturdays,
where we had a couple of weeks arm share quarterback
Monday here on the show on Salisbury regular occurrence. But
I'm telling you right now, it was eerily this team.
I I the penalties got lost in the coverage a
(04:52):
couple of times they u from pre snap and post
snap and not really protecting and to injuries, moving around
not secure four and five new starters, and then had
to move it around because I got from the beginning
got hurt.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
I mean, it was they and they still had a
chance to win the game in the.
Speaker 9 (05:10):
End, which is which is crazy because the way you
looked at the way Nikua and Stafford play like you
look at that and you thought, man, they should have
scored more points, but they didn't. And field goal kickers
are maddening at times around the league, from Tampa and
Atlanta to Cleveland, I do it happened? I'm like, Sunday nights, Yes,
(05:32):
what in the Worldtimore, what are you guys doing? I mean,
if the guy just makes an extra point, We're not
even talking about Prater kicks that field goal.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
We're going to ot and you still have a chance
to win it. It's craziness.
Speaker 9 (05:43):
But the Texans, it was I know, it's one game,
but that's all we got to judge on. And they
were It was eerily similar to a team that blah offensively.
Quarterback made some good throws and then they they missed some.
They didn't run the ball real physical they did. They
didn't attack that. There was not many shots taken, which
(06:04):
was a little bothersome to me. And you can squeeze
an offense and on defense, which they're really good, we
know that, but they and they got after it. But
they still a couple of times guys running through in
the coverage that were wide open.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
It was.
Speaker 9 (06:19):
And in the Astros weekend, they they h it's it's
getting closer.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
I mean, they just continue to do what they do.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
You have Saturday night and it's oh, hey see, we
told you we're gonna hit Okay, hey calm down.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
It's one game. It's one game. And then they went
right back to what they've been. This is who they are.
Speaker 9 (06:39):
They they basically are are are an EKG machine right
now where it's you know, you get a heart beat,
a little bit of a flat line, heart beat, a
little bit of a flat line. I mean, that's pretty
much what they are. I mean, that's that's what they've
been in. Oh, by the way too, I mean, why
would you expect much change at this point?
Speaker 7 (06:57):
I don't. This is you're going to win one, two
win to lose one.
Speaker 9 (07:01):
I mean, now you just that's it was about the tone. Yeah,
I mean, that's that's pretty much how how they've been.
How about I mean Jose al Tuove.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
Where he strikes out in that one at bat, you
don't see emotion out of Hose like it's getting to him.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Now.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Well you'll see that his offensive game right.
Speaker 9 (07:19):
Now is one sixty eight over his last twenty four games.
It's if he wasn't hoseal Tuve, he wouldn't be playing.
You'd a mention, they'd be giving him the camp Smith tree.
If this wasn't Jose al Tuove, he would be a
spot player right now. If he didn't know who the
guy was and what his history is and how good
he actually is, you would his productions. But he needed
(07:41):
to be hitting in like the eight ers, seven, eight
or nine hole when you did play him, and he'd
be getting more days off than you. You'd want him
to get more days off, if you know what I mean.
That's where the production is with him offensively. Now it's
joseel two. You're going to let him work through it,
of course, but he he looks like just a guy,
and last twenty twenty five games it's been a hard watch.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Well, it's been a hard watch and the Texans offensively,
as you pointed out, another hard watch.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
And you know there's a couple of different things.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
You talked about taking a shot because really the one
that I can remember that they did, CJ. Shroud gets
picked off. I mean, don't you think a huge part
of that is he still doesn't trust his line he
can say what he wants.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
He doesn't trust those you trust him.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
No, if you trust him, no, if you don't trust
their offensive line on what they're doing from your living room,
how the hell do you drop? I mean, I know
he's practicing with him every day. And remember I've always
told you practice simulation ain't real game stuff. Brother, I
mean you can I know you won on Wonders and
you're practicing against another team. Yes, but when the season's different,
just like the playoffs are different, and just like the
(08:43):
Super Bowls different, there's different layers.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
You don't get out of that stance.
Speaker 9 (08:47):
They've running right by your ass, Dude, you're you overstep boom,
They're gonna take an inside charge, run you right back
into the quarterbacks lap. So if you from your living room,
don't trust right now that they can block many people?
What the hell do you think he's saying. Of course
he's saying that those are his boys, that's his teammates.
Of course he is that there is that, there is
(09:09):
a it's going to be a major issue if this
doesn't get changed.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
Well, and not so fast for him not throwing people
under the bus, because he didn't throw anyone individually. But
I heard something from CJ yesterday at all It was like,
oh wow, okay, we'll have that for you as a
show goes along. But I think you know, the other
thing is I mean the positive you saw him get
the ball out quickly. The negative you saw him get
(09:35):
the ball out quickly. It's incredibly easy to defend soon
enough if it's hey, we'll give up that three four
yard route right there and be able to crash down
on that guy keep it to a minimal gain. I mean,
that's that's pretty much what their offense was yesterday, is
him being able just to get get out quick shots
and try to make something happen that way. And I
(09:56):
mean that's why you scored nine points and not more.
I mean it it's the same thing all over again,
where it's oh, you know, we got to be able
to get six once we get inside the red zone. Okay,
do it, like, I mean, seriously at this point, just
do it. Find a way.
Speaker 9 (10:10):
Unfortunately, they're not finding a way at least one a man.
It's eerily similar. It was a non aggressive offense, I mean.
And what happens is if you're only going to play
horizontal football or underneath football, and that rams are a
good defense, dude, you saw that yesterday. They rally to
the football and they can get pushed in the inside
(10:31):
and they get you know, edge rushers. Is it in
order to have space to run after the catch instead
of catch and tackle, is you have to at least
take some shots to spread them out, and even early
to where they're thinking, okay, this is one of those games.
Because the longer you allow them to squeeze you and
squeeze you and squeeze you, you're in constant third down
(10:54):
situations and if you're not accurate or make plays. And
he made some great throws. He always does, but they're
just not doing it enough to put the fear in anybody.
And then you know, it took them a while to
get the run game going, and they started late in
the second half. They started to push the football a
little bit and Chubbs started to get into some rhythm,
but they are not. You don't go into a game
(11:16):
plan thinking, oh my god. At least I didn't actually
look at the game plan and think this is a
I mean, they weren't putting the fear of God in you.
And did you want to watch the game last night?
Both of those offense, Dude, they attack mode last night.
And don't tell me Detroit's not missing Ben.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
Johnson Friday night Thursday night.
Speaker 8 (11:36):
I mean we're going to talk about that too, because
you watch the four teams that I'm talking about that
took part in those games. And I mean you could
even throw the Chargers team you beat here last year.
It looks like a different football.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
Got news for you. Don't be shocked if they win
the division. And Herbert clear cut not outplayed Mahomes in
the game. All the talk about Herbert now it's one,
but your quarterback in that game was justin Herbert. And
quite frankly, that's a team that's weapons are eventually going
to catch up to them or they're lack thereof on
(12:08):
the perimeter.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
And with the Ravens speed, I mean, Josh Allen looks
like he's even better, which it was hard to find.
What a life Josh Allen's living right now. You know,
he's got the Hollywood starlet, the wedding over the off
season and probably plays one of the best games of
his career last night.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
But he seems to do it every week now. It's
getting to the point where this has become a habit.
They're really freaking good. I don't think going to this game,
I expected that many points. But offenses in that game,
we're ahead of defenses. I could sure he'll tell you that,
but you look around the league, there was some I'm
gonna tell you what. Baker Mayfield's won tough SLB man.
(12:47):
He made some clutch plays when it matters, and doesnt
Cleveland wish they had him? But you know what to dude,
Flacco gave them every chance to win. He he so
stop the Shodor Sanders should be starting in Cleveland enough
because it's ridiculous. And I'm going to tell you real quick,
just a little Russ Wilson. Russ Wilson kay is not
(13:09):
a starter in this league.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
I know. Listen, the Giants are putrid.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
They're they're Brian Davis doing somersaults, jumping up and down,
trying to give DAP away when the team gets a
first down or kicks a field goal. I know, dude,
it's unbelievable. I watched Brian said, I mean they stall
for a touchdown, but they kicked the field goal, and
he was so giddy. I'm like, there's are the expectations
kick a field goal in this league. Aaron Rodgers is
(13:36):
giving them a legitimate chance. He looked like m VP.
Aaron Rodgers didn't hers Wilson.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (13:42):
I don't usually subscribe, Okay, one game, but I've seen
enough since Russ has left Houston, he has not made
anybody better their offensive You want to talk about somebody
who can't block me, and you that their offensive line
is disgraceful as foot as I'm talking about football terms,
they're they're they're the Giants offensive line is. I don't
know how they get anything done. Secondly, Russ Wilson watches
(14:02):
the rush. He'll throw some checkdowns and that, but he doesn't.
You know, some guys elevate the room. There's no energy.
I feel like he's more cognizantive running around, playing mister motivation.
He goes up and tells everybody after They've had a
crappy ass series. Mister motivation. It's almost like the he
wants the optics to kick in. Say see, I'm not
very good at player anymore, but I do like I
can't play, but I can sure motivate. Okay, great, grab
(14:24):
a clipboard and let Jackson Dark go play. Let's get
this thing moving. Russ is a good guy, but I've
seen enough now different plays. Though Russ Wilson is not
a I can name five backups in this league that
are better than him right now on different teams.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
He can't. You can't.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
There is zero energy with the Jit says. I saw
it in Denver, I saw it in Pittsburgh. It's just
a get by. He's skittish, he doesn't. He'll make some plays,
but the consistency of it, he's just different, and he
does not elevate the room.
Speaker 7 (14:51):
He just doesn't.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
They have got to make a move that they Russ
Wilson's a backup quarterback in this league at the more
and no offense to the because I love both of them,
but Brady and his partner, well with my guy, the lead,
Kevin Brookhart, I love him, but I gotta tell you
the Russ love of the game quarterbacks sink All and
Tom and I you know I love it.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
That's because they.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Before.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
Hey man, man, I love Russ's competitives. What a half
yard game on the quarterback seat, No tell it like
it is, Russ Wilson, If you tell like it is, no,
Russ is part of the reason this team doesn't move.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
It.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
It's not personal.
Speaker 9 (15:26):
I just I watch him and I think, Okay, maybe
maybe the Giants Jackson Dart's a better quarterback than Russ Wilson.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
Is right now. Not his career, he's got a Hall
of Fame career possibility. I know right now. The energy.
Speaker 9 (15:39):
I don't know why their success, but it will look
different with somebody else. And Aaron Rodgers got them going
Burrows Burrow. I mean, it's it's it's it's gonna be
a blast to watch some of these teams play. But
I can tell you this, I don't think the Chiefs
are the best team in the AFC. I didn't think
going in now. They got Mahomes and they'll be around,
but their offense is different than it was in the
(16:00):
year's past over these last three years. But this Texans
team has got to get better. Dan They they I mean,
after what I saw yesterday, they weren't the best team
in the AFC South.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
They were not. And oh, by the way, all the
wh why are you starting Daniel Jones yesterday?
Speaker 9 (16:18):
Now he's a better player than Anthony richards Anthony Richardson's
days in Inandapois Colts may be done saying that Danie
Zones gonna be a one game but now you know
why they started him over Anthony Richardson, Because one thing
I do know is that Daniel Jones isn't going to
complete forty eight percent of his passes.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
I think the mystique has worn off of mister capri pants, Mike,
Mike McDaniels.
Speaker 9 (16:40):
Well, they're the soft, they're They're softer than then an
overstuffed crush volor seventies couch. Dude, I'm just telling you.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Sounds comfortable they are.
Speaker 9 (16:51):
Yeah, it does, but soft, that's what you There's a
major difference too.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
Instead of s O F T, that's s A w FT.
That's exact actly right. They are.
Speaker 9 (17:01):
The Miami Dolphins couldn't fight their way out of a
wet paper towel, man, if they was, if it was
around them, they the paper towled win when it comes
to a fistfight. There they're not so like and Jayden
and Daniels. As far as young quarterbacks go, you're hard
pressed to find anybody in this league better than that guy.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
It's playing good football, that's for sure. Brad John. See
you guys right there. If you want to get involved

Speaker 5 (19:10):
I'm a diard.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Back to the Sean Salisbury show, Okay, when's the guy?
Speaker 7 (19:15):
You know?
Speaker 9 (19:16):
They talk about a team that's rolling through the lineup
nobody knows aside.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
From like Wyatt Langford and Josh Young. That's about it.
And what's the big yes Jonah him right yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Other than that, you're going through saying, I mean the
interests like who's this guy?
Speaker 7 (19:32):
Where they come from?
Speaker 8 (19:33):
You heard the first highlight on the on the montage
of it skips past Diaz, he hits him in the back.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
It's just like, good god man, It's like, what in
the world is going on here? Yeah? This uh? I'd
say we uh were headed to a three horse race
down us.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
The only thing that was missing from that play was
the music from Bad News Pairs.
Speaker 9 (19:59):
Your Not Tatum Neil no, No, she had, she had,
she had a good breaking boards and she had it
was a good run. Just been a good run for Tatum,
you know.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
Good run. And she went on the date with Kelly
Leak and worked out. Don't hate Kelly Leak's fastball. Dude.
You got Kelly Leek ain't bad, is he?
Speaker 5 (20:17):
No, he's not.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
You think he smoked any cigarettes? Just a few. They
make sure you get to every single ball out there. Yep,
Kelly Leak. So have I talked to you out of the fact,
he said, Oh, it was a great sports weekend.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
No, it was not exactly. I mean the college football
Saturday was somewhat good. The Oklahoma Michigan game was.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
But here's pretty good. He's not bad, but he also too.
I mean, now I watch for it.
Speaker 9 (20:41):
With the way quarterbacks throw, it's got a little bit
of that, sire, no doubt, and it kind of tails
on him. Then you saw more of that with Arch. Yeah, regularly, dude,
the way that game started regularly. I mean the way
that game started, I was kind of like, brother, he
might start getting booed. He's got some mechanical flaws that's
got to get fixed. And I can't believe I'm saying
(21:04):
that about a manning quarterback, right, but he's got some
mechanical arm action that is not going to allow him
to be as accurate as you need to be consistently.
He's going to make plenty of plays. But man, I'm
telling you, this is two weeks and now they won,
and they should of course, but there's some throws out
there that that he's bouncing and missing and it's simply mechanical.
(21:29):
He's not hurt, it's simply mechanical. Love him, and I
think he's going to be a good player, but man,
he's got some he's got and it's hard to fix
your mechanics during a season.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
He's got some fixing to do.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
They don't look, I mean, don't Longhorn fans don't be
offended by this. For two games in, they they don't
look like a national champion.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
They look beat.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
They do know, they look like a team that I
said that they could probably be this year, and that's
eight and four.
Speaker 9 (21:55):
Yeah, and I think they're more talented, but there's just
there's a rhythm missing right now right They just don't
look and then listen two games in, but we can't
keep staying at three and four. This is a time
like LSU's schedule, the Texan schedule, I mean not the Texans,
but the Longhorn schedule. I mean, obviously after the opener
of these early season games a chance to get yourself
(22:16):
right and maybe work on those mechanics. But they look
not a step slow in terms of speed, but in
being where they normally are. The way the urgency and
the tempo I see them play with on both sides
of the ball. It's and their defense is gonna be
really good.
Speaker 10 (22:32):
Man.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
Do you trust them to beat Oklahoma right now? Oklahoma
is a better team right now? Okay?
Speaker 9 (22:38):
Do you trust the game plan that Venables put together
for a freshman quarterback?
Speaker 7 (22:43):
They look like old school Oklahoma defensively.
Speaker 9 (22:45):
Set out another show I do, I said, going in,
I said, you keep an eye on this. These these
veteran coordinators who get a freshman quarterback that know how
to scheme them up. Now, I don't know if they're
going to make enough place because sometimes guys are just
really good players. But they were good and ma Tier
made a plays obviously to take care of there. But
do you trust them to beat Georgia at Georgia right now?
Speaker 7 (23:04):
No? Okay, Now, if you ask me, can they yes,
I'm waiting for that explosion.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
But so then, assuming you win the rest of your games,
that's a nine and three season.
Speaker 9 (23:12):
If you were judging teams by their first two weeks,
you wouldn't have him in the top five.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
Maybe not even side the top ten, honestly.
Speaker 9 (23:22):
Right so, right now Oklahoma's playing better football than they are,
so in a lot, but listen, see, I trust Sark,
I trust that they'll get it right. They just haven't looked.
I guess our expectations were number one team in the country.
Look and we haven't seen it yet. And that's part
of and I know what, five minutes he threw four touchdowns,
but you got to get going good. There's just still
(23:45):
the optics still don't look mechanically sound enough for me
to say, okay, you're you're tied. Will he make enough
throws mechanic and I couldn't root any harder for him,
But there's there's some mechanical flaws. I know you sometimes
you're not allowed to say that about royalty football royalty,
but there are some flaws about him that he's got
to get fixed.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
Let's get back into the Texans and Astros because is
offense just an issue all throughout this town. That's an
honest question. We'll try to answer it right here. Sean
Salisbury Show on a Monday Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
The Sean Salisbury Show continued, I do, I got cool,
we got we got the Koogs on in our our
family of stations, KPRC nine to fifty.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
So eat them up, Koogs. There you go.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
I like their You know how, it's almost a rite
of passage now when your school or your team wins
is to be able to gloat about it on social
media with some sort of graphic and some cutesy little
caption to go with it. And I guess Rice wore
their H Town blue jerseys in that game.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
I only saw a couple of highlights of it. Was
it an H Town takeover?
Speaker 8 (24:51):
It was by the Coogs? Yeah, I mean, if you
want to go old Tom Herman days, Yeah, sure, for sure,
that's what we called it, right, Yeah, that's what it was. Yeah,
hashtag age Town takeover.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
Yeah. And then what's it?
Speaker 9 (25:04):
The basketball is for the city, which I mean the
H for the eight for that's that's the stros. Yeah,
that's the is that this year last? No, that was
like two three years, eighteen, twenty nineteen, I think maybe
even twenty seven.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
So what if Pairland just wanted it for them.
Speaker 8 (25:19):
Because twenty eighteen was taken back Okay, what if all
the sudden parallel now twenty nineteen was I'm sorry, what.
Speaker 9 (25:23):
If Pairland just wanted it for them instead of the
whole for the Houston. What if they if paralants? So
we just want specific we want to sponsor the hashtag.
When don't we get into that where people just, you know, hey,
use this hashtag for so it's for the pair, how
would you do it for the pair trade market? For
the pair hashtag for the paraff it's Pairland. They're just hey, man,
we want to be we want that the hashtag for
(25:44):
the Ashers, for the.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
Pair, for the oil. I'm trying to laugh because you know,
it was kind of a beatdown of a It was
Sports weekend, you know, it was Locke's teed up. Yet no,
not yet. It wite about fifteen minutes. They will be though,
now they will basketball. Don't don't blake. It's about to
start to help us, Rockets.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
It's about your your only hope when it comes to offense,
because I mean, the Texans looks the same the Astros.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
I mean, it is what it is.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
At this point, there's there's no use in getting upset
about it anymore. I'm gonna try not to be disdain
dan about it anymore, just because I feel like it's
kind of played out.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
I mean, because clearly getting.
Speaker 9 (26:25):
Mads out of anything, it's gonna get fixed, right.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
Right, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
I mean jose L two is gonna continue to swing
and miss and then throw his bat down and be angry,
which as soon as I saw that, I'll I mean,
that's one of those moments like you see stuff like
that and you're like, oh wow, Okay, that guy doesn't
do that.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
Nope.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
Frustration competitiveness can bring out some crazy emotions, and it's
just been an inconsistent run for them, it really has.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
It's a tough watch, unbelievably inconsistent.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
Someone three two and two five seven ninety Brad, you're
gonna bat lead off this morning.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
Good morning, Brady, Good morning guys.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Quick the Houston teams, please put a diaper on before
you go to bed, because that's what it was this
week and no creativity with the Texans. None. It also
goes to show Sean, I know a lot of your
callers and you know this, but that preseason throw it
out the walk, don't just throw it out because these
guys tune it up. Tenfolk come come game one, and
(27:24):
I just don't understand with our rookies that we got
on the Texans. Why are we not putting anybody in
a slot? Where where?
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Where?
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Where's the mismatch. It's almost like we sit there and
watch the other team and they're killing us, either the
seam route or the slant, and then they'll run a flood,
roll them out one low, one medium, one high, give
him the option to run. I'll hang up and listen.
Love you guys, y'all stay out of trouble.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
Saying to you, Brad, appreciate buddy. I mean they had
guys in the slot. It's just I mean the Rams
use it a lot.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
More than you did.
Speaker 9 (27:57):
Here's why it's fightened. The play caller right now is
better than ours. He also taught this one, and this
is an apprenticeship going on right now.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
The first time.
Speaker 9 (28:09):
The guy, he's been a tight ends coach and a
passing game coordinator. It's gonna take Nick Cayley a minute.
He put trust in him. It's obvious that Dimico puts
trust in anybody from the McVeigh Shanahan tree because that's
who he hires. So he believes in that system and
the reason why they don't the reason why they don't
get it to the slot as much as you'd like, Well,
(28:31):
the best slot player on the planet inside or I
go it is the guy they got. Nikoup is pretty
good okay, and tough as one hundred year old leather too,
get knocked in the mouth, a blood dripping into his eye,
It didn't matter. The guy is unique football player, and
DeVante Adams is an upgrade there as well. That team's good,
mataw Stafford holds up. They're gonna they're going to win
(28:53):
the division because they although the forty nine ers when
you saw some of their flaws in their game still
too and depending on how healthy McCaffrey's going to be
throughout the year. So but I get Brad's frustration. They
just don't have anybody that can win. Nico cons can win,
but they didn't yesterday. He was just an innocent bystander,
and you need to he needs to be implemented. See,
(29:14):
I don't understand. Here's what I don't like. Kind of
goes along with what Brad said. But when I got
and I when I'm training high school kids and their
receivers will come out and play and I'll see one
that said, that's man, kid's a great route runner, and
I'll ask him where do you play? I played the
outside receiver. I said, well, do you play both inside
and outside?
Speaker 7 (29:33):
Now?
Speaker 9 (29:33):
Just just this outside? Because he's one of those kids
said I'd move him around. You know you'll run into
those kids say, hell, I'm playing him at five different
positions in high school. I don't get a ball in
his sand any way I can. I've just never understood
the concept of why a guy can't operate inside and
outside and a big fit. We've seen big physical guys
do it, like Chris Carter and and and Sterling Sharp.
(29:54):
I mean it goes on and on and they and
Niku is a physical guy. I just doing with my
best weapons. How I don't if I'm not getting them
the ball. I've always said, Okay, how do I devise
a plan to put him in a position to get
him the ball so I can create something so they
don't get the roll coverage or do it? How do
I get him whether it's motion moving him inside. You
know what, why couldn't you every now and again put
(30:15):
an Eco Collins in the slot and have that big
physical guy working on a smaller nickel or dime. And
if they put the linebacker in and they stay in
big personnel, normal personnel, guess what you do the linebacker
in the world covering that kind of space. I'm just
using that as an example, and I think Brad's frustration.
We just looked like a team that has a new offense.
(30:37):
That's what it looks like. Yet the verbiage should not
be a problem, cause it's the same. So I just
did there's one game, I know, but again, creativity has
got to expand, and I know you've got a bunch
of young receivers. That's just part and parcel to what
goes on, and you've got to you've got to protect
the quarterback or do it if that means you got
(30:58):
to max up and to give those I helped because
they looked it was groundhog Day. What I saw last
year is exactly what I saw yesterday. And it's one game,
but that's all it looked like. Just to carry over
like we just did a week off and they're back
at it. They've got to get more physical and nasty
and it's got to be a point of frustration. And
this team's too good, but not good enough to overcome
(31:19):
constant self inflicted penalties and mistakes. You can't turn over
in the red zone, you can't. You The truth is,
you kick field goals against the Rams, and field goals
are nice, and you got one of the best in
the world.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
Do it matter?
Speaker 9 (31:31):
Fifty five yard for him to layup that's like an
extra point, the old school extra point for him is amazing.
But you kick three field goals on the road against
Matt Staffords team, they're going to beat you that. They're
just You're You're not going to win many games that way.
You can do that against a team like Tennessee with
a young quarterback and beat them fifteen to three, but
(31:51):
you can't. You can't do that with that team, and
they just and in truth, it felt like the Rams
dominated the game offensively easily, but the score didn't indicate that.
But what a play, what a play at the end
to punch the ball out. He had no intention of
tackling the runner. He went for a straight fist fight. No,
(32:11):
I mean, that's legit what Nate land Man did.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
He just with his right arm, right fist to the ball,
and normally when people are moving you can't get your
fist on it. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (32:19):
You'll hit a tip of it to land it perfectly
to where you're right, where you're you're straight, right hits
the ball. Sometimes it hits and the guy made bob
lit or you hit his arm, or for a he
landed it to a perfection. Ball goes and then they
get the bounce and the same guy who caused it,
I think. I think he jumped on it too, and
I think he was recovered the football too. But in
(32:39):
a situation like that, if nothing else, you got to
secure the football. Now there was going to be time
for them to go down, even if they score a touchdown.
But you take your chances with your great defense more
than you do with your offense. Right now, if you
are the Texans, that defense is that defense. The responsibility
for them to have to play great every week is enormous.
Special agent Charles Tillman was out yesterday. I bet, by
(33:02):
the way, if you don't believe me when I call
him special agent Charles Tillman, go look it up.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
The man's an FBI agent.
Speaker 9 (33:09):
That's exactly what he's wanted to do it for a
long time. I think it's cool, though awesome. I want
to be a golf apparel salesman.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
I want to. I want to go around, and I do.
I want to. Whether it's I want to go round
and I want to, that's it. I'm going to design
mount That's all right now, nothing about it. I've been
a home thinking, okay, when I get my silk seed
and oh yeah, dude, yeah with the with the driver ring. Yeah,
I'll leave that to the guys who actually know the
technology club.
Speaker 9 (33:34):
I do though this for years. I've been going through
this clothing thing right now. It's not quite the FBI,
and I didn't get a master's degree really to think
about this, but sport management and I start to look
at golf and leisure clothing. Now we've elevated to the
point it's so much better now. But I'm telling you, dude,
you think I'm kidding, keep an eye that when you say, Sean,
what are you doing at the second shows over your home.
(33:54):
I'm grinding on this business plan of building this incredible
golf and leisure apparel that that is not too stuffy
for thirty year olds and awesome and not too well.
You're wearing, you know the picture of us at a
you know, Triple D's at the golf course when you're
(34:15):
playing it. Yeah, there's point, you know what I'm saying. Energy,
But also who doesn't want their shirt and a pairl
like Peter Malar at the Walker Cup. They played it
at Cyprus. Point US first, Great Britain and Ireland and
our kids want it. Boy, we have some young players
do the cond frigged smoke at sixteen seventeen, hit it
(34:37):
a country mile, driving greens into the fog. I mean
it was incredible to watch. But right so that I'm
into it, and that's so when Charles Tillman.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
Now fbi ate golf apparel.
Speaker 9 (34:49):
But it's kind of it's been a passion of mind
for like two decades and I'm going to finally do
it just because I think that the week we can
even look better than we do on the golf course
and in leisure.
Speaker 7 (34:59):
Just imagine able to do that.
Speaker 9 (35:00):
You show up somewhere, special agent Tillman, special agent Johnson,
be able to flip your credentials. Oh yeah, oh by
the way, that's your NFL card. No, that was my
first flex. This is an even bigger flying Yeah. Yeah,
I did play in a super Bowl, but now guess
what And I was just on the spot when the
balls around. But I can tell you this is a
this is a little more yes, yes, punch it out.
They were great at it, and you saw that obviously
(35:23):
had the late effect in the game, because if they'd
come out that with a win, you'd have been like,
somebody's living right for sure. In truth offensively and the
mistakes they made self inflicted.
Speaker 8 (35:32):
They did not deserve to win that game. Yes, the
other the way they played, what means Sean are doing.
It's a conversation. And you you can be involved at
seven one three, two, one two, five, seven ninety. You
can be like John, Trey, Chris, all of you guys
right there. You want to join them being involved, you
can do it right here.
Speaker 9 (35:48):
Sean Salisbury Show, Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
The Shawn Salisbury Show continues.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
They need to know now you know.
Speaker 7 (35:59):
It's northwest side. John, Good morning, John.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Good morning.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Guys.
Speaker 11 (36:04):
Uh Hey, the only good news for me over the
weekend was my all malatter one sixty four to nothing.
Speaker 9 (36:10):
Cool and so on a high scoring game the teams
who were supposed to win. John, he's like team's hanging
sixty and seventy on people all over.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
The place, LSU. Yeah, yeah, crazy stuff.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
You know they were playing they were they were playing Buffalo.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
I don't know who that is.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
I mean, I don't know if they played a Buffalo.
Speaker 7 (36:27):
The fight gills at one point.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (36:31):
Well, you know, if you're the coach, you just say, hey,
whatever you do, don't go up the middle.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
But you know you already place else.
Speaker 7 (36:37):
You're just fine, Yeah, what do you gots?
Speaker 11 (36:40):
But okay, so the answers would be real quick. I mean,
I've just realized that the Askers are just.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
A very mediocre team. That's all they are.
Speaker 11 (36:49):
And uh, I don't know if they'll make it into
the playoffs or not. I don't It's just everything about
them is mediocre. So that's that's all I want to
say about that. And then with the Texans, I mean, Sean,
you know, I didn't see them stretch the field one
time in that game. You know they had you know,
Nico Collins was like a non factor. I just you
know again, I am yeah, I know everybody's piling out,
(37:12):
what did I ever question to play calling in that game?
On the offense, But they just didn't utilize their their
assets very well. And uh, you know, if I was
going to pick a team. If I was going to
pick who's going to be in the super Bowl, I
know it's early, but I would pick it's going to
be green Bay versus uh, Buffalo. I think that's who's
(37:35):
going to be in the green Bay really impressed me.
I mean what they did to Detroit was was really impressive,
and they made Detroit become a one dimensional team in
that game, and they just really, uh, they really look good.
I think that, you know, with the Parsons up there,
I think that's going to be a really really strong
team this season.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
So I know, they really impressed me.
Speaker 11 (37:57):
And it's hard for me to say that because you know,
I'm a Viking, but Green Bay really impressed me.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Over the weekend.
Speaker 11 (38:03):
That's so anyways, that's all I wanted to weigh.
Speaker 7 (38:05):
In on good stuff.
Speaker 9 (38:06):
Yeah, thanks Jean with you their defense, they've got enough
playmakers to do some things, and they got a pounder
in Josh Jacobs Green Bedos. Their defense is really freaking
good man. They it is important that it's just one week.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
It is.
Speaker 9 (38:21):
But but again, like anything else, you were the Chargers
and the Chiefs tested. You wanted to see because if
it was reversed on bad teams that played good or
if the good teams won like they're supposed to, we say, oh,
it's one way that man compliment him.
Speaker 7 (38:39):
Great, But when somebody beats them like.
Speaker 9 (38:40):
The charge, well let's see it next week if the
Chiefs and I get it because the history of the
chief says, well, they don't how to win. But watching
just one game and the team they played yesterday, the
Vikings in Detroit, Detroit were season what fourteen went whatever
was or fifteen? Last year was a fourteen or fifteen someone? Yeah,
so they but I can tell you this, they missed
(39:01):
their offensive coordinator in game one. I don't know how
it's gonna turn out, but boy did they look. Did
they look pedestrian offensively? And they're not pedestrian. They got
physically manhandled, and the Jets looked like an improved football team.
They absolutely problem is Aaron Rodgers decided, Hey, I'm still
Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers emailing there. He made it personally
yesterday and it's and now Pittsburgh. Yeah, Pittsburgh's offense had
(39:24):
to carry them yesterday, which is not usually we're not
used to and they got the best quarterback they've had
since Ben Roethlisberger left the building so and throwing four
touchdowns that don't let him get early season confidence. Rogers
I'm talking about because it'll be a different look. So
I just there was some impressive moments. Kickers cost some
people yesterday. But in this team here, like I said,
(39:46):
one game and I get it, and the Rams are
a super Bowl container. They didn't get beat by Hack.
The Rams are a really good team, but it's the
optics of getting to that. They still had a chance
to win. Their defense will will will shore up a
few mistakes. I just don't know about the offensive approach.
And I ain't saying nick kid, just the overall how
to get all this right because it looked the early
(40:09):
similar to last year.
Speaker 7 (40:10):
It was Groundhog Day.
Speaker 8 (40:10):
I just I don't need the dissertation without giving me
an answer from the previous guy, Bobby Slowick, where you'd
ask him a question and two and a half minutes
later and you come back and you say, hmm, he
didn't say a single thing that actually answered my question.
Speaker 7 (40:24):
Right there, that guy every single week just standing up.
Speaker 8 (40:27):
There, oh well, you know, I mean, here's the thing,
you know, when you're when you're in second long just
just shut up and just figure out a way to
get it done. There's disdain Dan for you. You're welcome,
Chris and Jersey Village. You will get involved. You want
to join him? Seven one three two one two five,
seven ninety Also in the seven o'clock hour where the
Texans doomed before they even snapped the football yesterday one
(40:49):
guy in particular thing, so we'll talk about it.

It is a Sean Salisbury show. Sports Talk seven ninety K.

Sewn Salisbury.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
To usc trouph longtime friend Shawn Salisbury.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Dan Matthewscus. This is the Sean Salisbury Show. Astros lose
four to two to the Rangers. They drop that series
two out of three or off the day before they
take on the Al East leading Blue Jays up in Toronto.
Speaker 8 (41:46):
Texans lose on the road to the Rams as they
have a late fumble in a Rams conversion that does
them in fourteen to nine, but Uh beats Rice in
the Baye Bucket thirty five to so all in all,
this weekend not a great Houston sports weekend. Someone three
(42:06):
two one two five seven ninety the number two get
in Christ and Jersey Village wants to wait in Chris.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
Good morning, Yeah, Hey, good morning, Dan, Thanks for getting
to me. You know, Sean, I listened to the Shawn
Salsbury Show to hear great stats, like it's really difficult.
Speaker 5 (42:21):
To win when you don't score more points.
Speaker 8 (42:24):
Than the other team.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
I mean, you know, Sean, I've got one for you
this morning, just to give back a little bit.
Speaker 10 (42:30):
That weather's night.
Speaker 5 (42:31):
I'm in a good mood.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
It's also hard to.
Speaker 5 (42:34):
Win when you have more penalties than points.
Speaker 10 (42:37):
And I'll just leave it there.
Speaker 7 (42:39):
Have a good day, all right, appreciate the call, man.
Speaker 8 (42:41):
Yeah, the Texans just day penalized eleven times in that
game for eighty yards, giving up eighty yards and trying
to overcome that and win a football game. Yet again,
it's tough to be able to live that way, and
the Texans have found out. And I think that more
than anything. What frustra rates me the most about it
is you have eight months to be able to prepare
(43:04):
for this. You haven't played a football game since last January,
and you have all of that build up, all of
that time, all of that roster turnover, which was intentional,
by the way. They did a lot of that because
they said, we've got to get some of these guys
who commit these errors.
Speaker 7 (43:18):
We got to get them out of the building. And
clearly yesterday maybe you.
Speaker 8 (43:22):
Didn't get enough guys out of the building, because it
still persists for you, speaking of the penalties to Miko
Ryans talking about that after the loss yesterday out there
in La the boneheaded penalties, they still persist.
Speaker 12 (43:35):
The penalties are it's uncalled for, right, It's all controllable
things we can control. And you know, you know, if
you stand up here, we're talking about negative play, something
about going back.
Speaker 7 (43:46):
Or is this is not what we talked about main
thing offense.
Speaker 12 (43:49):
So we wanted to stay on track, right, and we
got some unfortunate penalties that put us behind the sticks
and just put us in some really long third downs
that we were not able to manage.
Speaker 7 (44:00):
So we have to clean up the penalties, I mean.
Speaker 8 (44:03):
And it's kind of similar press conferences to what we
heard last year. I mean, we heard Damiko Ryan saying
pretty much the same thing during last season two of
nine on third down two hundred and sixty five yards
as a total offense yes day on fifty seven plays
and the Rams ran the same amount of plays. Well,
the difference is third down they got they were able
(44:23):
to stay on the field seven of thirteen for two
hundred ninety six yards. So you want to look at
what the difference was in the game yesterday, Well, therein
lies the rub.
Speaker 7 (44:33):
What about if this team was ill prepared.
Speaker 8 (44:35):
I didn't say unprepared, I said ill prepared, because if
you're unprepared, that means you didn't prepare for anything. If
you're ill prepared, you didn't prepare enough. Well CJ.
Speaker 7 (44:46):
Stroud alluded to maybe the ill word can be used
right here.
Speaker 13 (44:51):
I think we could have practiced better. I think, you know,
I love the confidence we have, but there's a I
don't know. I always say there was like a type
of mindset as I did I do enough? And I
think it's a healthy way to be because then you'll
probably do more. So I just for me, you know, preparing,
I got to do a better job. And I also
(45:12):
got to hold my guys accountable, you know, for that
one exiletly and it's the first end of the year.
We had a lot of exiety looks we did not
expect they did too, but they made the play. So
you can come with a million excuses. We got to
just be better.
Speaker 8 (45:24):
I mean, how can you not love your quarterback seeing
all of those things, taking the accountability on himself, but
also too. I mean, that's the second most important person
in that building, next to the head coach. Say it
all the time, the quarterbacks the extension of the head coach.
If he's feeling that way, if he's going out there
doing his basketball jump shots and all the warm ups
he does before the game, and in the back of
(45:45):
his mind he's seen, I don't really know if we're
ready for this, because you come off the practice field
and you're saying, yeah, don't feel too great about the
work that we put in this week.
Speaker 7 (45:55):
That's concerning. And it's also it's concerning that this is
week one, Like.
Speaker 8 (45:59):
Here's like that during week eight, week nine, when the
season is kind of grinding down on you a little
bit and you're trying to be able to find things
that will work for you. But I mean, to have
that after week one, you should be the most fired
up for this game because you haven't played anybody in
eight months. You've been beating up on each other for
the most part, and maybe a couple of joint practices
(46:20):
here and there, but aside from that, not much. So
then you finally get your chance in week one and
you're not one hundred percent ready for this that's concerning.
I mean, it's just I think that a lot of
that kind of comes back to coaching.
Speaker 7 (46:33):
I think that some of it.
Speaker 8 (46:34):
Probably comes back to some of the guys you got
leading this team because we've thought.
Speaker 7 (46:40):
That guys like c. J.
Speaker 8 (46:42):
Stroud, Will Anderson Junior, you know, even Daria Goombawalle being
named a captain. I mean, is that how much you missed?
Kill mixing right now? I mean Nick Chubb yesterday thirteen
carries in the game. I know you were behind for
much of it, but you weren't behind by that much.
You have to completely go away from it. I mean,
the Texans do run as a team for one hundred
(47:02):
and fourteen yards and you only hold the Rams to
seventy two yards, So it wasn't like they completely controlled
the line of scrimmage in that regard. It's just I mean,
it's just frustrating to see these things happen in week
one and it's the old thing. You're either coaching it
or you're allowing it to happen. You almost wonder if
the allowing it to happen is persisting way too much
(47:22):
over in that building. seOne three two, one two five
seven ninety the number to get in here on the
Seawan Salisbury Show, Cyprus.
Speaker 7 (47:29):
Andy wants to weigh in. Andy, Good morning morning, Hey
seany either he just had to step out for a second.
Speaker 4 (47:36):
Man, Oh damn, Well, I'll just say this. Look, I'm
not a Joe a spot of fan, but you can't
blame him for what them not hitting with runners of
sweating position. They I believe they're the worst team in
that area they have. Three days ago they had the
sixth best average in Major League Baseball, but they were
(47:56):
number twenty three with runners in score twenty fifth. Now
it's twenty five probably yeah, now I'll say a couple
of days ago. So it's it's it's gotten worse. It's pathetic.
And as far as the offense on the Texas, it's
real easy. Look what Daniel Jones did yesterday for the
(48:16):
coach twenty two for twenty nine two and seventy two yards.
He only had one side only one sec. But he
carried it seven times for two tds. He was he
was great. Why because the Indianapolis coach have an offensive line.
The offensive line is the issue. It is and always
(48:38):
will be. And CJ. Stroud he holds a lot too
because he holds the ball too long. He doesn't recognize
the Russians fast enough. And he's now utilizing the legs because.
Speaker 5 (48:51):
Last night Joe.
Speaker 4 (48:54):
Gosh, the quarterback for the Bills, got his name. Josh
Jos carried the ball fourteen times, only sacked once. That
tells you he gets he gets out of the pressure.
He'll he needn't get many yards, but he didn't lose
the yards. When you get sacked. CZ not good at
that at all. So until they do, and guess what,
(49:18):
it's too late to fix the offensive line. It's too late.
You gotta start. Did we see a fullback on the
field trying to help block? Was there a fullback ever
on the field last night? Yesterday?
Speaker 7 (49:29):
No? Most teams don't use a fullback now, yeah, no, they.
Speaker 4 (49:34):
Need a fullback. When your offensive line can't block, you
need a fullback because if CJ don't have time and
he doesn't and he's not getting down the field running
the ball, it's gonna be the same old, same mode
as it was last year. Not good whatsoever. Take care.
Speaker 8 (49:51):
I appreciate the call, Andy, I mean again, a lot
of that falls on whoever is in for pass pro
as a running back. Daria Goomblewalle is a guy they
count on a lot for that. I mean, Joe Mixon,
somebody else they count on a lot for that. But
I mean, you're not wrong about the offensive line, and
we knew this coming into the season. No, Laramy Tunsall,
(50:12):
you probably still didn't feel as good about this group
even though with tunsl like I said, it was the
real kind of perceived lack of urgency to get back
out onto the field for training camp and other things.
I mean, remember that last year I was gonna miss
the first couple of weeks he had he had a
minor knee operation. When did he have it last month?
(50:32):
Why did he just have it last month? Like is
this something that had been an issue for much of
the offseason. Okay, well, then get it done in April
or May and then be ready to go for training camp.
It was stuff like that, and it was also the
pre snap penalties. It frustrated you. But you don't have
him here. I mean, there's nobody on the offensive line
right now. Maybe tay Ursie is somebody that's got potential,
(50:56):
but as far as everyone else goes, I don't think
there's gonna be a single one of those guys outside
of him and Titus Howard is going to be around
here next year. Cam Robinson won't be here. I don't
know about Ingram. I mean, I don't know about really
any of the other guys. Then Jake Andrews goes down yesterday,
the guy that ended up winning the starter spot at center,
and I know that they were talking about on the broadcast. Wow,
(51:16):
Jared Patterson the backup center. It was like, No, he
was the center last year late in the season, so
they should have that continuity, at least he and CJ
working together. So look, Andy, to your point, there's no
argument for me. There's no argument from Sean Hell. There's
not even an argument from Tripolee. So offensive lines a mess,
and yesterday did not really did not give you much courage.
(51:40):
A much belief, that's the more operative term. Much belief
that it's going to really improve this season. I mean
we've said it from the beginning of the offseason. If
they're capable, then this team can be a lot better.
That wasn't capable. That was bad yesterday, and there are
other portions of that game that were bad, and that's
why you lost the game fourteen to nine when you
probably very easily should be coming out of that game
(52:01):
and us talking right now about a team winning said
football game.
Speaker 7 (52:05):
The Texans were unable.
Speaker 4 (52:06):
To do that.
Speaker 8 (52:07):
Someone three two one, two five seven ninety is the
number two get in the way that your town is perceived. Well,
somebody had something on that yesterday, and I want to
be able to share that with y'all as part of
the stakeout.
Speaker 7 (52:20):
We'll do that right here. Sewn Salisbury Show on a
Monday Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 9 (52:25):
All right, guys, I've talked to a D and M
executive and asked a simple question, because I think when
you're doing this, you want to make sure everybody feels
the same way you do about the knowledge of it
and why who's the ideal customer? Someone frustrated with luxury
card depreciation, someone trading every few years and piling up
negative equity or someone budget conscious looking to save thirty
(52:45):
to forty percent on a monthly payment.
Speaker 7 (52:47):
His answer was all three and more.
Speaker 9 (52:48):
With fifty thousand active customers, D and M Leasing has
the program for you. It's D and M Leasing Leasing
is not renting, it's the smarter option. Call seven to
one three two nine zero one thousand. That's seven one
three two nine zero one thousand. Or visit dn m
Audo Leasing at dmauto leasing dot com. That's dmaudoleasing dot com.
Speaker 2 (53:11):
This is the Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 7 (53:13):
Are you not the tang and let's just begin now at.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
Nine percent alcohol?
Speaker 4 (53:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (53:20):
Yeah, on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 7 (53:28):
All right, Sean, what are you hearing out there?
Speaker 10 (53:30):
Now?
Speaker 2 (53:31):
The Salisbury stakeout? Salsbury takeout on the Sean Salisbury Show
(53:59):
some Monday.
Speaker 8 (53:59):
Here the Stakeout Sean Salisbury Show, Sports Talks seven ninety.
Stros dropped a series of the Rangers two out of three,
lose yesterday four to two. They're in Arlington off today
before they get the Blue Jays in Toronto. The Mariners
crushed the Braves, so now that means they're only two
and a half games back of the Strows in the
West and the Rangers four games back. Texans loose at
(54:20):
the Rams fourteen to nine out there in LA all right.
So yesterday, as mentioned, me and a buddy of mine
watching all the games, and one of the games that
was on was the Jets and Steelers. That was the
game on CBS before the Texans were so a lot
of us around here. If you just stayed to the
local packages, that's what you were watching, or you were
(54:41):
watching the Giants take on the Commanders on Fox. But
one thing is you notice this, and you've been in
booths before, the b roll is a big thing. Like say,
you're playing in Cleveland, all right, so coming back from break,
you know where it's the end. You know, the NFL
on CBS is brought to you by Coca Cola, by IBM,
you know, just like all of that big voice guy.
Speaker 7 (55:03):
And they're in Cleveland.
Speaker 9 (55:04):
So they're gonna show the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame or the Cleveland Sign or whatever it is.
Speaker 7 (55:09):
They do it here in Houston.
Speaker 8 (55:10):
You know, they're coming back from break, the NFL on CBS,
and it's somebody cutting somebody right right, you know, or
Sam Houston statue or you know, I don't know, Dyke
in Park or you know, anything like that, Like they're
just they're showing the city. Like I'll never forget. Remember
Tom Hammond, the guy that used to do Notre Dame
games on.
Speaker 9 (55:31):
Ye Tom, Yeah, okay, so I thought it was Hammond
and the Tom Hammond was eight old school right, the
old school time.
Speaker 7 (55:39):
He'd been doing it forever. Yeah, it's not ham it's Hammond.
Speaker 8 (55:42):
So I remember he used to do the when the
NFL network had Thursday Night Football and they showed the
Medical Center and he goes the downtown Houston skyline. It's like,
that's not it, Tom. It's a little further that way,
but you know, it's okay. But more often than not,
I would say that, like these things, they're shown from
their perception of people who are not from that area.
(56:04):
And here's where I'm going from this. With the Jets
and Steelers game yesterday, So they come back from break
and I think they showed downtown either Newark or Hoboken
or somewhere like that.
Speaker 7 (56:17):
Oh, Buken, next up, it's trained stop Hoboken. There you go. Yeah,
you always liked the Hocusken. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (56:24):
I always remember when we were in Boston and I
seemingly always had the same tea conductor because it was
the same voice every single time, next to up Ken
Moa after that finway, which, by the way, if you
ever take the tea to the Red Sox game, you
get off at Ken Moore, yes, instead of the other one.
Speaker 7 (56:41):
Right right, yeah, you go over the bridge. All that
kind of stuff.
Speaker 8 (56:43):
Well, anyway, during the broadcast, just say they show the
b roll of Jersey. So Iron Eagle, being a proud
Jersey guy, goes, We're not going to be the crew
that pretends we're in New York when we're in New Jersey.
We're going to show you New Jersey.
Speaker 7 (56:58):
I like it. So I was like, okay, there you go.
Speaker 8 (57:00):
Because a lot of people, you know, with it being
Jersey always gets forgotten about, like you know, it's it's
always if you're from that area. Oh you're from the city.
Well no, I'm forty five minutes outside of it. Yeah,
and I live in Jersey, Like I'm from Jersey. That's
that's where I'm from. I mean it's kind of a
little bit, you know, same deal with South Jersey with Philly,
(57:22):
where it's oh you're from Philly. No, no, no, no,
I'm from South Jersey. Just on the other side from Philly.
But it is easier just to say, you know Philly.
I mean, it's kind of like people around here, Like
it cracked me up when I lived in Atlanta and
I'd see somebody wearing an Astros hat or something.
Speaker 7 (57:36):
Oh you from Houston. Oh cool? What part Houston? The
first question? What part?
Speaker 8 (57:42):
Because yeah, like most of us, if you know the areas,
you know, if you're from that area, like in Atlanta,
for example, where are you from? I'm from Brookhaven, you know,
from Dunwoodie, you know, anywhere like that here where you're
from not Katie Paarland, you know, Baytown, something like that.
Speaker 7 (58:00):
Like that's we all know that.
Speaker 8 (58:02):
But what also cracks me up with it is like, say,
for a Texan scheme, and sure, as you're born, they're
going to do it this year. They absolutely will. They're
gonna come back from break and they're gonna show like
calf roping or something like that, or some sort of like.
Speaker 7 (58:16):
Rodeo thing of you know, well we're in Texas.
Speaker 9 (58:19):
It's like that's a no brainer. Okay, I'm waiting for
the where it's Houston. They're showing the Beaumont area from Houston. No,
I'm from Beaumont right there? Where are you from Beaumont?
Speaker 7 (58:32):
From Houston? Why are they showing the San Antonio Riverwalk?
It's two and a half hours away.
Speaker 9 (58:36):
So you're telling me if I'm from Lake Charles, I'm
from New Orleans, from Lake Charles.
Speaker 7 (58:40):
Okay, here'son. It's true. I'll tell you the best in
the world.
Speaker 9 (58:43):
That is though, because I think that he keeps a
log of every mile in every hotel he's ever stayed in.
Is al Michaels. He used to every place he'd go
certain thing. I think he had a log or a
book or some keep a journal over his whole travel career. Now,
if you want to know, you know who knows more
about Houston than some Houstonians. Al Michaels. He knows more
(59:07):
about Buffalo than people from Buffalo. I mean, he'll get
it right down to yeah, and the shower is wrapped
in and it's wrapped instead of in the plastic, it's
it's wrapped where it's like a little upgraded. I mean,
al knows your venue and you get him to La
or San Francisco. Dude, he can tell you where every
Speca sand is. I mean that dude, talk about well travel.
(59:27):
But he's the one that won't make the mistake. He
won't say if you're from Boma that you're from Houston,
you actually from from Boma. Right, So yeah, I get
what you're saying. Oh, there's no doubt the cliche rodeo.
What else are they going to show.
Speaker 1 (59:45):
Here?
Speaker 8 (59:46):
Like I said, brisket, Oh yeah, barbecue, it's it's without
fail every of course there you go. Yeah, and then
maybe show a couple of fans in the stands that
happen to be wearing a cowboy hat.
Speaker 7 (59:57):
Oh yeah, you know, and be like, oh, hey see
we're in shot will be the live shot.
Speaker 9 (01:00:00):
They'll get out of the b roll fhill, the live
shot coming in and they'll be cowboy. Had a couple
sitting there, like really dressed up face paint with the cowy.
Oh there's a face paint. The cowboy hat is what
we called for. And they'll say something about that. Oh,
by the way, one of the better for best rodeos. Bam, great,
some great musicians from here, right at first and ten and.
Speaker 7 (01:00:19):
Right, no doubt. Yeah, I'm trying to think.
Speaker 8 (01:00:21):
I mean, maybe every once in a while, you know,
show Rice Stadium President Kennedy gave a speech there. Then
the next day, well we won't talk about that part,
but he gave the speech there about going to the moon.
Speaker 7 (01:00:32):
Why do we go to the moon? We go to
the moon because it's hot. Yeah, speaking of Northeast Boston,
guy ac there you go.
Speaker 8 (01:00:40):
But no, it's just I saw that yesterday and I
heard that from Iron Eagle, and I was like, good
on you man, because I.
Speaker 7 (01:00:46):
Mean, there's still the New York Neck of the Woods.
Speaker 8 (01:00:49):
Well there's that, but there's still the New York Jets
and Giants because the Giants used to play at Yankee
Stadium and the Jets used to play at Shay Stadium,
so they were in New York. But now, I mean,
you know, it's not like you can just say, all right, hey,
all of a sudden, boys, you're now the New Jersey
Giants and the New Jersey Jets.
Speaker 7 (01:01:06):
It's like the Anaheim Angels.
Speaker 9 (01:01:08):
Do you know any times they've changed the name California Angels,
Los Angeles Angels and Anaheim. They play in Anaheim, right,
so they're or the Orange County there. I mean, it's
just the Dodgers have this.
Speaker 8 (01:01:19):
It's basically be like if there was an MLB team here,
but they were playing in like Clear Lake, right, That's
that's really what that is there.
Speaker 7 (01:01:27):
You go, that's that's exactly what that is.
Speaker 9 (01:01:30):
So it's just now the San Diego and La Chargers
are different because they're not alone.
Speaker 7 (01:01:35):
They're no longer in San Diego. You can show me.
Speaker 9 (01:01:38):
Pictures of Jack Murphy Stadium Qualcom, but they don't play
there anymore exactly, but you can show the empty parking
lot whatever's being built there.
Speaker 7 (01:01:45):
So, yeah, that.
Speaker 8 (01:01:47):
Beautiful Pacific Beach that's in San Diego, Yes, two hours away,
but hey, you do you get up to Manhattan Beach.
It's not too far from you. It's like one of
those things when you get older and you know, your
parents start sharing things with you that you didn't know
when you were a kid. I remember when me and
my brother went out for the Holiday Bowl one year,
we went to Pacific Beach. My mom goes, go to
(01:02:08):
the World War two gunner positions. We're like, why she
goes We used to party there. I was like, oh, okay,
let's go, let's go party.
Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:02:14):
She was like she's like, we used to party there,
and then you know, some people would get some liquid
courage and jump off the Gunner position into the Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 7 (01:02:22):
There you go some really there's some historic stuff down there.
But i'll tell you what. Pebright right around now, it's
it's awesome. Is there ever a bad time where that
time of year?
Speaker 9 (01:02:34):
Yeah, that's my bad. It'll be like that in January too,
So whatever.
Speaker 7 (01:02:38):
It's like, I remember we passed a home. It's guy,
this is terrible.
Speaker 9 (01:02:43):
One of my brother's friends that was with us and goes, well,
there's gonna be a place to be homeless. I guess
this would be it. I'm like, yeah, it's one way
to look at it. It's like another buddy of mine.
Speaker 8 (01:02:54):
And it was really it was one of those cold
snaps that came through and somebody said, ah, you know,
freezing temperatures. He goes, yeah, it's a really bad time
to be homeless. It's like, is there ever a good time?
Speaker 9 (01:03:05):
No, there's no gain to play on wars. Yeah, there's
never a good time. But yeah, you're not going to
get in too much extreme other than extreme good weather.
You're not getting too much extreme there. So if you're
going to mean you you can survive the heat and
the winter times. If there is such a thing in
San Diego, California. He goes, what's it fluctuate four degrees? Oh,
(01:03:26):
it's seventy five to day. Yeah, you know, oh yeah,
you gotta have a hooded sweatshirt and stuff. There's no doubt,
just like Inland, in San Diego it'll get it'll get
up to one hundred plus degrees, but for the most part,
there should be much.
Speaker 7 (01:03:39):
Don't complain about the San Diego Way.
Speaker 8 (01:03:40):
See that was I remember that too because my brother
when he played for Rice the year that he was there,
that was the sixty three home run Lance Berkman season,
and we were staying in Tory Pines. We were staying
in La Joya, So I mean you had to do
hooded sweatshirts, you know, all that kind of stuff. And
then you go over to San Diego State, which was
more inland, and I mean you're sweating your you know what's.
Speaker 9 (01:04:03):
Because it was one hundred degrees and it's not even
that far away, right for me from the coming you
come out of San Diego State, you hop on there.
In fifteen minutes, you're sitting in Mission Beach from San
Diego or on the right there in Old Town. You know,
you just hop on a highway eight and you're there.
Yet the temperature the change from the ocean the marine
layer to inland. And asked Candido, it got hot, but
(01:04:23):
it didn't take long to get to the beach, and
she went, We went.
Speaker 7 (01:04:25):
And at your guys place. While we were there, we
went and Nate at Old Seals.
Speaker 9 (01:04:31):
So, yeah, I remember that tru sim Yeah, that was
a popping restaurant back in the day in bar to
go to when when when I was playing there and
when Junior had that thing going on, it was the
place to be in in the Mission valley right there.
Just if I got those six numbers right this weekend, yeah,
somebody did, yeah, and somebody here did Yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:04:49):
In Missouri City or was it Missouri Texas.
Speaker 4 (01:04:51):
Is what they called it.
Speaker 8 (01:04:52):
Uh, it's probably Missouri City. I mean again, you know,
people not knowing the area and just being like, oh,
Missouri Texas.
Speaker 9 (01:04:59):
No Missouri, right, So when they said that, I'm like, Missouri.
I don't know where that's a but I know where
Missouri is. It looks like a nearby town from where
my mom was born. My Cocoada, Iowa.
Speaker 8 (01:05:08):
There's a Wyoming, Iowa, and one of her ants lives
in Wyoming, Iowa. So back in the days when you
used to have to dial information to get someone's phone number. Yeah,
and then they, uh, the operator connected her to somebody
in Vermont and she was like, no, I wasn't calling
you in Vermont.
Speaker 9 (01:05:24):
So yeah, the old school days. Yeah, you gotta you
gotta remember those, no doubt about it.
Speaker 7 (01:05:30):
But we're a city. This moving closer.
Speaker 9 (01:05:32):
Power ball is moving closer to GOT one ones you know,
told it a couple of towns over now.
Speaker 7 (01:05:37):
Look, man, all I needed was just you know, four
more numbers, right, and I would have shown the Mega
kicks in tonight or tomorrow night. Yeah, that's that's true.
Is it about four hundred mils? Okay?
Speaker 8 (01:05:49):
I mean yeah, I'd still show up. But again, as
I've told you numerous times, you wouldn't know, well as
much as I could tell you wouldn't know.
Speaker 7 (01:05:56):
But I would show signs, celebrate in silence, but show scignce. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:05:59):
I don't blame Yeah, man, look at this Rich Carlton
like breakfast spread we got in here, Dan, you provided this.
Speaker 7 (01:06:06):
Yeah, I got a buddy of mine. What can I say?
What can I say?
Speaker 8 (01:06:10):
You got a got an omelet guy right there. Not
too much oil, all right, trying to watch the cholesterol.
Speaker 9 (01:06:16):
Sean, how'd you find your business? Well, Dan gave me
two hundred million dollars. There you go, there you go.
Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
Go.
Speaker 7 (01:06:21):
Yeah, nice, Right now, I'm just you know, rich uncle
just happened to have it, so I was. I was
always his favorite nephew. What can I say?
Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
What you do?
Speaker 7 (01:06:29):
That's it. Somebody's got to spend it.
Speaker 9 (01:06:30):
Hey, look, I mean, you don't apologize for the circumstances.
You make the best of what you got, and you
become a you can become a truck, not a trailer.
Speaker 7 (01:06:36):
That's it. Bring people along with that's it.
Speaker 8 (01:06:38):
As Denzel said, followers who's following you? Great great movie
on Apple TV highest to the lowest. That's good stuff.
But me and Sean have a dynamic on this show
that over the weekend it came into play. We'll discuss
that here. It is a Shawn Salisbury show, Sports Talk
seven ninety.
Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
Shawn Salsbury.
Speaker 8 (01:07:00):
You'll continue, all right, So, Sean, I think this happened
Friday while me and you are on the show. But
then over the weekend you've got people reacting to Ryan
Clark where he and Peter Schrager kind of get into
it a little bit on one of the shows.
Speaker 7 (01:07:18):
I don't know if it was Get Up, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 8 (01:07:19):
It was one of the talking head shows, and Ryan
Clark tries to hit him with the age old, well,
you didn't play, so you.
Speaker 7 (01:07:25):
Don't know, even said at harsh like basically shut up
and let the guys in this room to paraface, basically
telling him that the thing that you just can't say right,
it's a I mean, I guess you can if you're
an idiot, Okay, but I'm team Schreger. On this team.
Speaker 9 (01:07:43):
Matter of fact, i'd much rather hear Peter Schreger talk
that I would listen to Ryan Clark spew the stuff
he spews if there's not an undertone, and we know
what the undertone is with him every single time, and
if it's not that, it's the he's got his agenda
on guys he likes and guys he does. It's not
even fair analysis. The things he's says are Listen. I
used to watch it, and I don't talk about other broadcasters.
(01:08:05):
I know how tough the job is, and it's a
lot tougher if if you got an angle and an
agenda in your mind all the time.
Speaker 8 (01:08:11):
It's also too you can me and you doing this
business long enough, you know who's prepared and who's not.
Speaker 9 (01:08:17):
Right, and it gets to the point for me where
you can become a bad teammate. Okay, and good player,
smart guy and knows a lot about sports, but his
presentation is atrocious. Right now, he's to me, he's insufferable, unwatchable,
and is I I don't think it's well thought out conversation.
(01:08:41):
I think that a lot of would say that about
many and he should have done that. Begger, Peter Scheger
was wrong. Well, the you know, not well thought out thing.
Speaker 8 (01:08:48):
I think in the case, it's that he's thinking too
much because I think somewhere along the way he listened
to bad advice. And the bad advice is, oh, you
need to be more edgy, you need to say things,
is you need to do all of this. Because when
Ryan Clark first started, it was really good. Absolutely like
SVP would have him on breaking Down.
Speaker 7 (01:09:07):
He was really good. Where I'm like this guy in the.
Speaker 8 (01:09:10):
Narrative because that's exactly what it was, is that somebody
told him that only take you so far.
Speaker 7 (01:09:15):
You've got to be edgy. You've got to say that.
Somebody responds he's got rabbity.
Speaker 9 (01:09:20):
Then he responds to them and gives they head to
look into the camera and furrows his brow like he's
given deep thoughts, like he's just dude, it's sports, right, Yes,
it's sports, and you are one hundred percent wrong not
you him to look at a guy who's been well
respected across football world because he didn't play, But listening
(01:09:40):
to Ryan Clark in some of his comments would make
me think he didn't play, that he forgot what that
was like, Like I said, it's not the personal. He
seems like a good enough guy and I liked him
when he came in, but it's completely shifted. I don't
know if it's fact that now that he's been recognized,
he's on every show and the rest of it because
he's not he's he's a bright guy and but he's
(01:10:03):
it's like he's trying to do this. But in the process,
you start losing credibility. You start saying that to people
because your fan base are people who mostly didn't play
but listen and watch and study and are counting on
you to take him to a place. Maybe they haven't
been able to go but to be condescending and throwing
his face while he's sitting on the same set and
he's a grown ass man, and your company recruited him
to upgrade that show. Yeah, that's why Peter Schreger is there, right, Okay,
(01:10:28):
so that so recognize at some point in time that
that people are there to help. And I don't know
what happened, I said, it's not personally. I don't know
him personally other than through sports, but I've never sat
down had a conversation. But I can tell you what
it's becoming. To the point when he comes on to talk,
I got to mute it. I can't and I don't,
and mine are from clips. I don't even watch the
(01:10:48):
whole I haven't watched the whole show on that network
or since I allow in twenty years.
Speaker 7 (01:10:54):
Eighteen years.
Speaker 9 (01:10:55):
Outside of Game Day and games you're got live events.
Different story now I'm talking about stud udio shows. Yeah,
it's been a minute.
Speaker 7 (01:11:01):
I haven't watched a full Sports Center ever since I left.
And it's just because then as it's gone on, you've
lost They tried to get so cute that they've lost
what their substance was all about before I had the
schedule of them. But that's it.
Speaker 8 (01:11:14):
Yeah, But before I had the schedule that I have now,
I would watch SVP after Monday night football. He's an
easy watch, that's right, because more than anything, I just
wanted to see bad beats because it always cracks me
up to him at Stanford, Steve. Yeah, but I mean
outside of that, just a regular run of the mill
sports Center. Now it's not even sports center, you know
college football. Hey, let's bring on Paul Finebaum. Oh great, okay, fine,
(01:11:36):
Like just the scene run of the middle, ste what
made him great?
Speaker 4 (01:11:39):
Right?
Speaker 9 (01:11:39):
And then personalities and fun. It's just there's always something
and it's getting to the point. I mean what you're saying.
Stuff you say, come on, dude, you do not like, yeah,
you don't believe he was just being disingenuous and with
the things he says at times. And then to look
at Peter Schrager say, basically, leave it to the football
people in this room. Yeah, some of the things you say,
(01:12:01):
most of the football people are looking at you like,
this guy's out of his frigging mom.
Speaker 8 (01:12:04):
I mean it's like also too then you look at
him for Peter Schrager and say, this guy's been covering
the league for over twenty years, Like I think he
knows enough of what you're talking about. He's not getting
up with a y, he hasn't been in the meeting rooms.
He wasn't running sprints with you and doing all of that.
We get all of that.
Speaker 7 (01:12:20):
That's fine.
Speaker 9 (01:12:21):
He talks to enough people and studies enough football that
he is entirely he said on the set, making the
same money you are. Parent he might be making more
judging from the fact they wouldn't recruited him and contract
timing matters exactly.
Speaker 7 (01:12:31):
Who the heck knows.
Speaker 9 (01:12:32):
But the point is is that I don't know why
we're getting to a point with some of these guys
that you just can't keep it to good solid Teach
me something and give me a strong opinion, but not
an opinion that you know you don't believe. I don't
know how you back your opinion up if you don't.
I mean that can be us some people, but I
going off there. The last thing you want to lose
(01:12:52):
in that situation is the credibility of saying it. Now
you've painted yourself into well, it's hard to overcome that
from a teammate. You know what I'm saying where you
come back say because that's how he feels. But that
comment is exactly I feels that, why is this guy
talking While the rest of it is actually a genuine moment,
she's just kind of like, Okay, fine, right, so just
admit it, ride with it, and admit that you don't
(01:13:13):
think people that didn't play football have it should have
a conversation. So are we supposed to listen to Ryan
Clark's conversation about basketball told you right there and then
or conversation about baseball, which I never hear their conversation
about that. But if if he does, so, if somebody
supposed say, dude, sit this one out on your podcast,
(01:13:36):
sit this one out because you watch basketball like the
rest of us, but she didn't play it at the NBA,
you can't talk it.
Speaker 8 (01:13:42):
That's the most absurd thing in the world. He decided
to be an overtweeter this weekend. He was tweeting about
quarterbacks and you want to talk about dunks, dude, rim rockers, dude.
I'm telling you right now, that's what he does. He'll
he'll tell you something, then he'll see the backlash and
then he'll go on and it's and you're you're you
buddy over it from Baylor. That plays as a broadcast
that those two fight back and forth does the same thing,
(01:14:05):
or they'll do it.
Speaker 9 (01:14:06):
They'll say something and then they'll say, man, you know what, Listen,
how in the world did Shadeur Sanders not beat out
Dylan Gabriel? He didn't get the right thing sitting with
his wife, and then all of a sudden he'll come
back the next day say, man, I did Dylan Gabriel
got that second job because he's a good decision. It's like, dude,
after you saw the backlash room, everybody saying, just ride
with the fact.
Speaker 7 (01:14:26):
That you liked Chadeur more than Dylan Gabril. That's fine.
But then then they start the overtweet, so you want
everybody to start saying, oh, man, he believes and admitted
he made a mistake or admitted that he's just going
with this. I don't care if it's a mistake or not.
If it's your real feelings.
Speaker 5 (01:14:39):
Just.
Speaker 7 (01:14:42):
Deal with it.
Speaker 9 (01:14:43):
And if you if you can't, this business isn't for you.
That's exactly right. So for me, I don't get why
did it's not that you just don't do it. But
when they start overtweeting, you know, damn will rabbit ears galore,
they're here and say, well, oh, now I got to
talk more aboutquarterbacks because I said this about Brady Breeze
and Manning, or now I got to talk more about Arching.
(01:15:05):
I'll tell you what's coming the first time Arch has
a monster game. Now that looks because he's already probably
offended the Manning family four hundred times, right, which is fine.
Speaker 7 (01:15:14):
It's okay, of course they will. They don't care. They're
not paying until there you go. They're already over.
Speaker 9 (01:15:19):
So, but I guarantee Peyton Manning or or Patrick Mahomes
isn't going to Peter Schrager and saying, hey, man, don't
talk about football.
Speaker 8 (01:15:27):
Somebody, somebody did put together and and and we'll take
it the break on this because somebody did put together
a montage of those quarterbacks that he said were not
generational cooking Ryan Clark Well, Brady Manning.
Speaker 7 (01:15:41):
Self inflicted mistakes on a Sunday.
Speaker 13 (01:15:43):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 9 (01:15:43):
That's there's quite a few of those. You gave up
a few home runs to those guys. Let's just say it.
Speaker 7 (01:15:48):
Yeah, he's leading the league and give it up home runs.
Speaker 9 (01:15:51):
I think one of my favorites was Patrick Peterson after
they played against the Falcons once and he had talked,
I think in the past about walking down Julio Jones
and Julio Jones it's got him for a deep touchdown.
Speaker 7 (01:16:01):
And I love this line.
Speaker 9 (01:16:02):
He goes, hey, saw young Award winners give up home
runs too. That's a great line. It's the truth. Yeah,
as do Hall of Fame corners. They have no touchdowns,
but they get you too. So I just like I say,
it's not Costler. Patrick Peterson is too berry and loves it.
I just get to a point where sometimes I think, Man,
if you don't believe it, why are you trying to
sell it on us, And to tell a guy on
the set that's getting paid in a teammate that basically
(01:16:25):
shut up because you're these are the football guys right here. Uh,
that's you've crossed the line of being a good teammate
and that was wrong. Well, a former teammates might have
had the best dunk of all. And I cannot wait
to share this with you guys.
Speaker 7 (01:16:39):
We'll do that.
Speaker 9 (01:16:39):
It is a Sean Salisbury show here on a Monday
Sports Talks seven ninety. And it also is my guy,
doctor Jeff wits It vision Guy, my vision doctor, my
eye care doctor, my.
Speaker 7 (01:16:50):
Lasik procedure guy.
Speaker 9 (01:16:52):
Best in the business seven one, three, three six, five,
nine nine nine for a free consultation won three three, six,
five nine, seven nine nine. If you just want ie care,
he's your guy. If you want lasik, one of the
best and foremost Lasik procedure doctors in the country, he's
your guy. If you're looking for that comfort of walk
(01:17:13):
me through it because I'm a little nervous. Is it invasive?
The answer is no, wasn't on the table long draw.
You're go in there, take care of it, and then
the I care after was spot on. There's never a doctor,
I don't care, whether it's knee or anywhere else that
I felt is comfortable when it comes to something that's rotten.
You know, you got two eyes, hopefully, and so accordingly
you got to treat them right. And there's never never
(01:17:35):
anybody that, at no time if I felt uncomfortable, thinking, man,
this is going to be more invasive, and do I trust?
He's the most trust that I've ever been around in
any part of a whether it's a surgery on your
knee or anywhere else, or back surgery. When it comes
to my eyes, I would trust nobody but doctor Jeff
Witson the best in the business. And I've sent buddies
to him and they say the same thing. Talk to
(01:17:55):
people who've used him. You get that free consultation. Why
not use it? So where you have the payment plan.
If you're thinking about lasik, what are you waiting on?
Non invasive won't be on the table long And man,
will you be greatful you didn't probably say like I did,
should have done it sooner. Clear vision. Wipe away that film,
doctor Jeff Litz, it's your man. Wits it vision dot com.
Wits it vision dot com. The Sean Salisbury Show continued,
(01:18:23):
and uh, you know they threw to him. I think
it was kind of like a whip around there at
the beginning of Game Day Live, which is the NFL
Networks pregame show, and he said a special shout out
to the non players today. We see you, we respect
you on our set and on several others. You know
what that's from too, because he and Shrigs were boys
on the Oh yeah, the show. Well we should that
(01:18:45):
we have on in.
Speaker 8 (01:18:46):
Studio right now at what's it? Good Morning Football? Yeah,
they were boys on that show, so you know that
Brandt was. He was fired up for that one to say, Okay, fine,
you want to come after my guy, Well, guess what,
I'll win the chorus here and I'm going to jump
in on you.
Speaker 7 (01:19:03):
He should be protecting his teammate.
Speaker 9 (01:19:05):
He should, and as former teammate, but his buddy because
he knows and Brand's been around a lot of football too.
They get it, you do, and you've lost the argument
once you got a great point by you, Once you
play that card as a broadcaster, then you have completely
from the podcast you do to everything else. So we
are supposed to not pay attention to you when you're
talking about anything other than cornerback play defensive backfield play. No,
(01:19:29):
it's not wouldn't be fair to him either, because you
can learn a lot about a lot of stuff without
having played it.
Speaker 8 (01:19:33):
It doesn't take a post doctor for our audience to
figure out that you know more football than I do
because you played it.
Speaker 9 (01:19:40):
You you did it fascinations that you wouldn't know because
you weren't under center. I get it, but you still
know football, right, Big difference exactly.
Speaker 8 (01:19:48):
But I just also know that too that you're not
because what he tried to do right there is he
tried to do it as a shutdown of I can't
talk anymore. So honestly, what Schragger should have done at
that point should have just taken the love mic off have.
Speaker 7 (01:20:00):
Been like, Okay, see you guys later, talk to you
all later.
Speaker 8 (01:20:04):
Why don't you guys carry the conversation now, you know,
and be able to take us to break and do
all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 7 (01:20:09):
Please please, yeah, you know what you know. Would have
been great too.
Speaker 9 (01:20:13):
If the guys on a set football players would have said,
I'll come on, I don't know, I couldn't remember that.
That should have happened they that guy that was there,
they should have stepped U sayd ow, come on, man,
this day there's a lot about playing. You can't you
can't just let that head because you know what it
tells me. If you're Peter Schreger, then what would the
other Why didn't the other guys say no, no, no,
come on man. You can absolutely talk in no sports
without having played that position and have an opinion of
(01:20:35):
something that if you watch it and constantly watch it
you form an opinion over it. Now, if you say,
if if he gets to Peter Schager, well, when I
was under center in the NFL, well you want under
center in the NFL. That then you can have that argument.
But he sees it from a different perspective doesn't mean
it's a better perspective. And quite frankly, judging from some
of the things I've heard, the perspective the guy who
the Ryan Clark's given is at times, uh a little
(01:20:58):
wacko okay, And and a lot of people are rolling
their eyes at the stuff I'm talking about. Guys that
are sitting next to him. Okay, we're like what so
they should have come to jumped on it. For Peter
Shregger said, come on, man, it's it's embarrassing. Embarrass you
up there too. Yes, it embarrasses him. He loses the
argument immediately, but it also diminishes and shrinks the talent
(01:21:19):
on the set.
Speaker 7 (01:21:20):
If you didn't defend, if you defended what Peter.
Speaker 9 (01:21:23):
Shreger shouldn't shouldn't be watching this show. That's exactly what
he said, right, or don't put it on air. You're
putting a bunch of people on then then those guys
should never be able to talk to any other sport
if that's the approach by the group. Peter Schreger wouldn't
have done that to him, right and he or a fan.
You got to be better and as a teammate, because
now you've just basically tried to, in no uncertain terms,
(01:21:44):
shrink and diminished Peter Schreger's football knowledge because he didn't
play corner for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 7 (01:21:50):
It's ridiculous. But we'll leave it there for now.
Speaker 8 (01:21:53):
Pick it back up if you want to get in
someone three two one, two five, seven ninety. We're leaving
it there because, well, we want to pick up our spirit.
Let's talk with our good buddy Steve Sparks. We do
it every Monday at this time, and we'll do it
right here. Shawn Salisbury Show, Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2 (01:22:08):
Kb E Houston, ADHD two Houston, an iHeart radio station,
the Astros.
Speaker 14 (01:22:15):
The Rockets, Rockets Basketball, your home for your home teams.
This is Sports Talk seven ninety from the Parsons that
Matchine Next Studios, Sabby Houston.
Speaker 1 (01:22:32):
Okay, let's do this.
Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
Sean Salisbury.
Speaker 3 (01:22:37):
To USC Troupes, longtime friend. Shawn Salisbury Dan Matthews.
Speaker 8 (01:22:42):
This is the Sean Salisbury Show, Sparky one part. In
that game, you've got jose Al tove up the plates.
I think he had a runner around. I'm trying to
remember exactly what the situation was, but it was the
reaction of Al two a after he's strikes out, slams
his bat down.
Speaker 7 (01:23:02):
You don't see that a lot out of him.
Speaker 8 (01:23:04):
Is this just kind of the frustration for him is
really mounting And that was one of the rare boil
up moments.
Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1 (01:23:14):
You know that the offense was pretty inconsistent in Arlington.
Speaker 10 (01:23:18):
They certainly pitched well enough to win all three of
those games, and they did scratch a claw and they
beat de Gram, one of the best pitchers in baseball.
But for whatever reason, yesterday just felt like they weren't
able to get any tracks and swinging it pitches out
of the strike zone. It's been a big problem, part
of the problem. But it's kind of a jackal and
(01:23:38):
hide season so far for this Astros offense.
Speaker 1 (01:23:41):
Right now. They're going through a little ull.
Speaker 7 (01:23:43):
Steve is just as simple as that.
Speaker 9 (01:23:45):
This late into the season, people can get on streaks
wins and you know, winning and losing streaks, But this
is who they are, and you just got to hope
they get hot at the right time. Come now in postseason. Correct,
I mean to be able to deal through the inconsistencies.
That'll be the brilliance in this team. Be able to
continue to stay resilient and find ways to get that
three or four game winning streak in a seven game
(01:24:05):
series or late in the season when you got to
be to Seattle or a Texas Rangers team to get in.
Speaker 7 (01:24:10):
That's about who they are this year. Correct at the
plate especially, I agree, and at their best.
Speaker 10 (01:24:15):
I think they can score, but there's been too many
times this year where they've just gone away.
Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
I think right now you start to recognize, all right,
Jordan's our guy.
Speaker 10 (01:24:25):
What do we do to get guys on base where
the other team has to pitch to him? I mean,
this is what it's going to center around right now.
And we'll see some other players with san Chaz and
Walker and some guys Papya from time to time, but
right now it's centered around Jordon. The other team has
these circled they don't want to pitch to him. You
got to try to figure out out a way to
get somebody on base where.
Speaker 1 (01:24:45):
They have to stan.
Speaker 10 (01:24:47):
I think right now, I think that's what the Astros
have to have to do as far as lineup construction.
Speaker 9 (01:24:53):
Steve, what's the most and it's not even the critical
or complimentary, is what is the most baffling thing, aside
from injuries that you've witnessed watching this team for one
hundred and forty plus.
Speaker 10 (01:25:04):
Games this year, I think it's almost baseball as a
whole that I just don't see guys move around in
the batter's box.
Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
And that was the first thing that just popped.
Speaker 10 (01:25:12):
Into my mind when you ask that question, is you know,
you get a guy that throws a lot of cutters
and pitches like that, why not just get on the
dish and take that away from him, make him do
something uncomfortable. But guys just don't do that anymore, and
I'm not sure why. I think guys just want to
get off their their A swings, but they don't want
to adjust and make movements in the batter's box.
Speaker 1 (01:25:31):
And I'm not sure why they don't do that anymore.
Speaker 10 (01:25:34):
I think that's a good plan to get certain guys
that are one sided as far as their approach.
Speaker 8 (01:25:39):
And again, Steve Sparks joined just every Monday at this
time here on the Sewn Salisbury Show. And along those
same lines, Steve, you pitched in the majors. I mean,
you knew how to follow a game plan and do
all of that. When you watch some of these at bats,
I mean, do you see adjustments. Do you see a
team that is adjusting to what the pitcher is throwing
or do you think it's just kind of the run
(01:25:59):
of the mill. Hey, we know what we can do
and just going out there and trying to do exactly that.
Speaker 1 (01:26:06):
You know what, when the.
Speaker 10 (01:26:06):
Team's not hitting well, Dan, you don't see many adjustments typically,
you know, and there's some days where they just hit
the ball pretty hard right at some people, and so
that without Tuva actually yesterday, outside of that strikeout where.
Speaker 1 (01:26:18):
He got upset, he had a couple of balls hard.
Speaker 10 (01:26:21):
And that's about all you can do is you can
you can get a pitch and try to drive it
and see if you can put them together and string
them together. But they don't make really hard contact as
far as exit velocity. They're either the last or second
to last team this year as far as exit velocity.
(01:26:41):
And you got to hit the ball hard consistently to
be able to put up runs. The astras pitching has
been really solid all year long. Who met, it doesn't
matter who it is. They've been able to plug and
play very well in that department. Fromer had a quality
start yesterday. He gave up three on runs and seven
innings and can't ask for much for that more than that.
Speaker 1 (01:27:03):
And Hunter was unbelievable. Uh, pitch's pretty good. They've got
eighteen games left.
Speaker 10 (01:27:10):
They've got to figure out a way to score four
more runs more consistently.
Speaker 5 (01:27:14):
Steve with that.
Speaker 9 (01:27:16):
So for fans that are trying to figure out, okay,
you know, where do we find And I know if
we all had the answer, we'd bottle it up and
sell it for a lot of money. But so what
gives you at the plate with all the inconsistencies and
lack of adjustments and lack of just driving the baseball
and hit it hard, Like you said, what makes us
think that that's going to change in eighteen games?
Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
I just think they have good players, potent, Yeah, I
think the talent yeah, yeah, it's potential.
Speaker 5 (01:27:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:27:43):
And I know you don't want to hang your hat
on somebody that's not in the line up. But if
they were to get great Us back in there too,
that would help a lot too.
Speaker 10 (01:27:51):
And I think I've told you that, you know, he
means a lot to that offense with how many pitches
he would see, just making the other team work a
little harder, and maybe a guy it's fatigue and makes
the bad pitch to somebody else. So they certainly have
enough guys. Now you're starting to get way more whole.
Jake Myers feels good wherever you can slot him in
(01:28:11):
the lineup.
Speaker 1 (01:28:12):
I like him in the ninth hole. He's done a
great job there.
Speaker 10 (01:28:15):
And if you're going to bat jord On second, I
like hiving a nine hole hitter who gets on base
quite a bit to pair with Peyna. You give yourself
your best two chances of on base percentage to.
Speaker 1 (01:28:26):
Get on base for jord On. But I think they
have enough good.
Speaker 10 (01:28:29):
Players to win to win ball games, and they're pitching
has been probably just shockingly good this year considering all
the injuries.
Speaker 1 (01:28:40):
But I think they can keep a minute well.
Speaker 7 (01:28:43):
I mean and Steve.
Speaker 8 (01:28:44):
You know, Saturday night they are up for eleven runs,
and a huge part of that was Christian Walker and
Jiner Diaz but then yesterday, Joe, I mean, he told
Sean at FanFest last year, I don't want to use
a ton of different lineups.
Speaker 7 (01:28:56):
Why do you switch the lineup? Then?
Speaker 8 (01:28:58):
If those guys hit so well in the seven an
eight spot, why are you moving them up in the order.
Speaker 10 (01:29:02):
Again, Well, it's matchups, Dan, I mean, you look at
the matchup and you're as a manager, you're starting trying
to say, Okay, I see this guy, what does he
do well?
Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
Uh, some guys, I mean, you hate to say this,
and I'm not going to call out any name.
Speaker 10 (01:29:19):
There's there's two or three guys though, that don't hit
Velocity well, and they're just not the guys that you
want in there in a big situation.
Speaker 1 (01:29:27):
So you got to put them down to the line,
never keep them out of the lineup because Velocity kills them.
Speaker 10 (01:29:31):
And we say that, you know, I go over scouting
reports of the other teams for every series and there's
going to be three or four guys that just don't
handle ninety five plus and it's it's right there. It's
on a bunch of different websites. You know, you can
find out which guys just can't handle it. And that's
why you match up, you know, de Los Santos, who
(01:29:54):
throws hard out of the Astros bullpen in a certain
pocket because there's three out of four guys coming up
that don't handle the heat and that's his pocket. And
you're just trying to match up guys for success, and
I think I don't think guys care that much outside
of maybe the top three guys in the lineup where
they really hit. In the lineup on a day to
(01:30:15):
day basis, you know, you got to earn a certain
spot in the lineup if you're if you're going well,
maybe you could go in and say, hey, man, you
know I could drive in more runs for you. It's
so such and such. But there's not enough guys that
can probably say that right now. So you're just trying
to mix a mess because of who you're facing that day.
Speaker 7 (01:30:35):
Steve, does it add it? Does it get to a point?
Speaker 9 (01:30:37):
I mean the pitching wich you've mentioned has been for
the better part of a couple of years, well through
this whole run these years, but these last couple years
when they're hitting, you know, leaving runners in scoring positions
come up big and again this year it doesn't matter
who it is, does there come a point in time
when the burden to carry that becomes too much. Yet
here we are one hundred and forty plus games in
and they're still doing their thing. But man, it just
(01:30:59):
feels to me like it's almost overwhelming, like you're the
truck pulling a trailer at times, not intentionally, but the
way the hitting because five runs, one run, no runs,
two runs, it becomes, I mean, where you got to
go out there and pitch your best every single night
without there's not a lot of room for air. That's
got to be a burden to bear. And you've pitched
in the league and you watch it every day. That's
got to be tough to stomach at times.
Speaker 10 (01:31:21):
You know, I think you probably do go into games
every once in a while thinking, all right, I can't
afford to make a mistake, yep, and especially you know,
and I think Hunter probably went into that game pitching
against Jacob Duground for the second time where they played
on May fifteenth and one nothing game and he was
on the short end of it through a complete game
that lost.
Speaker 1 (01:31:42):
Went into that game and a man, I cannot afford
to make a mistake.
Speaker 7 (01:31:46):
There's not going to be a lot of runs scored right,
Steve with those two guys right right.
Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
You know what, Sean, But I mean, I hear what
you're saying.
Speaker 10 (01:31:54):
But I think the Astros, you can just say, like overall,
when you're looking at it a total picture.
Speaker 1 (01:32:00):
They pitch better than they hit. You know, They've just
been very good at that.
Speaker 10 (01:32:05):
And hitting can go, you know, in the little peaks
and valleys, and it depends on who you're facing and
how you feel at the plate and how tired you
get at certain points.
Speaker 1 (01:32:15):
But I love this time of year.
Speaker 10 (01:32:17):
You know, we're playing in cool weather. I think it's
we're in Toronto right now. It's fifty five degrees a
lot of times. That gives you a little jolt of
energy too.
Speaker 1 (01:32:24):
And this time of year, I think when you're in
it and you're playing.
Speaker 10 (01:32:28):
Baseball games, I think it's the gift of baseball for
players who have earned that right to play in meaningful games.
Is I here's some free energy because these games matter,
and you're not going to feel.
Speaker 1 (01:32:41):
The aches and pains that you did a month ago.
And I think that's where they.
Speaker 10 (01:32:45):
Are right now, and I expect them to play pretty
well these last three weeks in and we'll see where
that lines them up as far as matchups in the playoffs,
But I like their chances of these last three weeks.
Speaker 8 (01:32:57):
Speaking of matchups, you might see this team in the postseason.
You're gonna see for the next three what do you
see from Toronto?
Speaker 1 (01:33:03):
A lot of bangers.
Speaker 10 (01:33:04):
You know, Springer's got a nine to fifty ops, He's
he looks like he did back in Houston, and bar
shows come around. There's a lot of hitters, Baschets having
an unbelievable season. Guerrero, Uh, there's a lot of good
hitters and they've got a lot of good starting pitchers,
but their bullpen that's cost them a lot of games.
So I think the Ashes can go into a series.
(01:33:25):
When you talk about meetings before a series, you talk about,
all right, man, let's put up our best abs we
can early in the ballgame, but go forget this bullpen
struggling and we're never out of it.
Speaker 1 (01:33:36):
So I think we'll see nine inning ball games matter
a lot in this series. I think both teams bullpens
will play a big role.
Speaker 9 (01:33:44):
Steve lets out Bury the lead French Fries with gravy.
You're in Canada, You're gonna.
Speaker 1 (01:33:48):
Do it right I'm not doing it great. I'll do
the vinegar I like to yeh, kind.
Speaker 7 (01:33:55):
Of the fish and chips thing, but the vinegar on
the fries. Yeah, So no gravy on the poop.
Speaker 9 (01:34:01):
Poutine, Yeah, poutine. It's one when I I've never known
about that. When I first went there and played kid,
I'm like, this is some delicacy. But apparently I was
late to the party. But late to the party, which
has been.
Speaker 7 (01:34:14):
Yeah. Oh I'm over that. Nice. So Toronto's beautiful city too,
It should be fun, Steve. I love that town. He's
expensive as hell, but boy is it a great city.
Speaker 8 (01:34:23):
It seems like it's always one of those popular ones
on the MLB road trips. Sparky, you're the best man.
We appreciated every single week. You do it with my
Ryder Cup team too.
Speaker 7 (01:34:33):
Er Cup. He going out first, Sparky, you good with
going out first.
Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
I would definitely go out first, Cup, Yeah, I would
do that.
Speaker 5 (01:34:42):
Oh.
Speaker 8 (01:34:42):
He set the tone in the single gonna You're gonna
start to start the US A chance, all of that,
and then you know he's he's good. He's got to
bury baccaroy nine and eight up nine with eight to go,
just put a staple on it, have the caddies swing
in the flags.
Speaker 10 (01:34:58):
Let's not get it wrong about ability, but pressure situations,
I can play my best. I just don't know if
it's the best compared to other people.
Speaker 9 (01:35:07):
But Steves was a solid ball striker though. Now great
golf track is solid ball striker. I mean really, that's like.
Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
The girl at the problem that has a great personal out.
Speaker 8 (01:35:19):
That's exactly or in your words, the baseball player that
puts together a really.
Speaker 7 (01:35:23):
Good at put together great at BATA. Whatever you do,
just don't short side yourself. Now another good golf track,
now state, don't short side yourself, solid solid outing here,
Sparky threw strikes. We appreciate it, buddy, and we'll catch
up with you again this time next week. Great stuff, brother,
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:35:41):
You got to take care of guys, buddy.
Speaker 7 (01:35:44):
He knows Steve's right on it.
Speaker 5 (01:35:45):
Man.
Speaker 7 (01:35:46):
You know what he doesn't give you ever.
Speaker 9 (01:35:48):
Notice he doesn't get too hot a cold on this team,
right because he see well as a guy who's been
in it. But he also broadcasts it and watches it
every day, the ebbs and flows a baseball er.
Speaker 8 (01:35:57):
He didn't tell us the non player. Well, I mean,
you know, for you, you played, but just a different
sport and then you know he doesn't hit me with that.
So I appreciate that, Dan, you can't ask that question.
Speaker 9 (01:36:06):
Didn't plays right exactly, and Steve would never do that
either much respect and he's but he's right. This team
is just let's just call like we see it. They're
a better pitching team than a hitting team. And they
have been for two straight years period. It's just the
way it is. And that's a good thing because if
they were, if they hit and pitched the same way
this year, this team would be ten games out of
(01:36:27):
first place or more. They would they would already be
on their golf season. If the pitching match the inconsistency
this year of the hitting, not the potential, not the talent,
the production this team, that the division would have been over.
It'd be a two horse race and this team would not.
They'd be in third place. It's hard to argue with that. So,
I mean, there is a part of it that says
that you're fortunate to be where you are, but it
(01:36:49):
also pitching can still get you places that hitting can't,
but that hitting's got to take you places that they
haven't consistently this year.
Speaker 8 (01:36:59):
Speaking of the pitching. When it comes to one particular astro,
it's a very very easy decision to make, and we'll
talk about it here. It is a Sean Salisbury show
on a Monday Sports Talk seven to ninety.
Speaker 9 (01:37:13):
But first, you know, we say it all the time.
Lunchtime is not that far around the corner. I had
steak and eggs for breakfast. Well, you know what, that's
an early How early did you make them? Taken eggs
as well?
Speaker 8 (01:37:23):
I mean I just heated it up, you know before Yeah, yeah,
got you know a lot of meal prep right now,
you know all the things trying to lose weight. Well,
if you're a carnivore diet eater, jbar and Barbecue because
they got some brisket, a lot of protein. They got
some holapeno cheddar sausage. Same deal there the pork ribs.
Brother had them up here for my birthday on Wednesday.
(01:37:44):
And when I tell you, elite doesn't even begin to
tell the story. I uh, jbarn Barbecue dot Com.
Speaker 9 (01:37:49):
You get all the men. You don't need reservation. It's
twenty two o one Leaving Street. Love the indoor outdoor facility,
Love the parking love. Well maybe the summertime it gets
a little too hot at times to go out.
Speaker 7 (01:38:00):
It's rolling. Now, this morning was great. Yesterday was a
great day. It was phenomenal.
Speaker 9 (01:38:04):
But the food's great. You know, I've never understood that.
I'm not dogging people because people have their lifestyles. But
I don't know how you'd walk into Jbarn Barbie. Now
the sides, even if you're not a carnivore, and you
go get yourself some sides or do whatever you want
to do, and you can sustain it because they're off
the charts. But you walk in there and smell it.
I don't know how anybody would resist it.
Speaker 7 (01:38:22):
You can't.
Speaker 9 (01:38:23):
And then when you taste it, even if you're not
a carnivore, you say, well maybe maybe I can become
one because.
Speaker 7 (01:38:28):
The food's just off the charts.
Speaker 9 (01:38:30):
So venue and location, customer service is all so important.
It is in everything we do, but when it comes
to food, there's the one extra thing. Great foods like
great pitching. You can overcome a lot when you got
great food. And then they got the great hitting, the
great they got a little bit of everything, great marketing,
everything there is to know about Jbarn Barbecue is there
(01:38:51):
and take our word for it, but matter of fact,
don't take it until you go in there and validate
what we're telling you.
Speaker 7 (01:38:56):
There's no better barbecue in the city, a true five
tool player.
Speaker 8 (01:38:59):
The food, the full service bar, the beer garden outside,
the massive parking lot outside right there at twenty two
one Leland Street, and then the great service with Hafey
and you got a rash in the back, mister Toomey.
They all set the tone right there. So when you
step in there, you know you're being taken care of.
Every thing's delicious, and you know that it is going
to be a great experience. You say it all the time.
(01:39:20):
Event no event, it doesn't.
Speaker 9 (01:39:22):
Matter that is the event very much, because like I said,
it's just it's one of those places you'll go in
there and you say, okay, man, now I get it,
and you can only experience and now I get it,
trust us. But go in there, trust it for yourself.
If you leave hungry, that's that's on you. No truer
word spoken. Jbar M Barbecue, twenty two one Leland Street.
Jbar M Barbecue right there in Edo.
Speaker 8 (01:39:44):
Coach Stark here, touchdown, touch us you've got Sports Talk
seven ninety, Houston's home of Longhorn Football.
Speaker 7 (01:39:51):
Back to the Shawn Salisbury Show.
Speaker 8 (01:39:56):
Are you aware that they are one in seven and
his last eight star It's very aware, And yesterday it
wasn't necessarily the overall body of work. I mean, well,
look that's not telling the truth. It is the overall
body of work because he goes seven innings. That's nice,
three earned runs, four of them in total, so one
(01:40:17):
of those unearned strikes out five only walks one. But
it's the two run Homer. It's the situations with Fromber.
I would almost say with Fromber, it's like the Texans defense.
Like yesterday, I shared the stats earlier with the Texans
they gave up seven third down conversions out of thirteen
chances against the Rams, they only converted two. So that
(01:40:37):
just shows you the offensive utility against the defense. But
it's just it's frustrating where you just feel like you're
up to a point where in twenty twenty two, Fromber
got that out right. Fromber was able to get you
out of it without any type of damage. But then
yesterday it's the sixth inning, he gives up three runs,
he gives up the Young double and then the two
run homer to Jake Berger, and at at that point
(01:41:00):
you're down four to one. You're pretty much seeing yourself
as an Astros fan, were cooked like this. This just
isn't going to happen.
Speaker 9 (01:41:06):
Today because why because you haven't been able to get
consistent run production at the right time consistently, and that
is going to be an issue all the way through.
The pitching ain't getting easier as you as you roll
towards this, you're going to see the best from Seattle.
You're going to see the best from the Rangers. They
got the Rangers one more time as well, Yeah, they
do next week three and three for both of them.
Speaker 7 (01:41:27):
Correct.
Speaker 8 (01:41:27):
I think that after this weekend series against the Braves,
that's the Rangers for three, which, by the way, I
think you have to sweep that series if you're going
to win the Silver Boot. But that's neither here nor there.
But then following weekend is the Mariners. So yeah, now
you're in it.
Speaker 7 (01:41:42):
So what have we got eighteen to go or something
like that? Think so for to go? Yeah, there you go.
So that's three six game series and more will be
on the road than at home. By the way, around
six to three game series, would I say three six games?
Y six three game series?
Speaker 9 (01:41:57):
So yeah, I at this stage, he's got to get
a good pitching. I hope you get a clutch it
here and there and think you're going to be in
a fight and they're gonna be three to two, five
to four, four to three games, and hope that you're
pitching continues to do what they do, because you're not
exactly going to be facing hacks to play in Toronto.
In Texas they can mean, even though they're banged up,
they can still get you some runs. And then Seattle,
(01:42:19):
we obviously know that they've hit the long ball this
year as well, So the task at hand is gonna
be difficult. Nine of those games, you know, Of those
eighteen games, half of them we know, and I'm not
even sure the other three they got to play. Who
are the other three series? We've got Seattle, Toronto and
the Rangers.
Speaker 7 (01:42:38):
Who else? You got Tampa in there? You said following Toronto?
Is that correct? Yep?
Speaker 8 (01:42:43):
And then who's the other two series against A's is
one of them? Yeah, it's the A's and then Angels
to close it out there you.
Speaker 9 (01:42:50):
Go, So you see when and the A's gave them
a few fits hitting the hitting the baseball as well.
So you're gonna just you're just gonna have to continue
to get great pitching, a great bullpen because you can't
count on full or five runs at night. Now they
get hot, great, it's a bonus. But the pitching staff,
the onus is going to be on them, because the
pitching staff is better than the hitting has been all
(01:43:13):
year long, and they've been consistently good from start to finish,
other than a few hiccups throughout the season. It's just
the overall pattern. I mean to the point that you
just brought up, it's a trend now, right, just a pattern.
Speaker 7 (01:43:24):
This is real.
Speaker 8 (01:43:25):
It's a one off if you're able to get more
than four or five runs because you haven't been doing
that consistently. And then when it comes to Fromber the
decisions made, as far as I'm concerned, like there is
not going to be the pay the man tweets and
all of those, no matter how good he is down
the stretch, and no matter how deep you possibly could
go in the postseason. And it's quotes like this yesterday
(01:43:46):
that kind of do draw my ire a little bit
Fromber after the game through auto lore, it was a
little frustrating, but today I was more chill.
Speaker 7 (01:43:57):
Why aren't you that way all of the time? Like
it's just like you ever have people.
Speaker 8 (01:44:02):
Who tell you like how they are as a person,
but you know the person well enough where you're like
you're trying to convince yourself of that you're not that person,
Like people who try to tell you, Hey, man, I'm chill.
Speaker 7 (01:44:12):
The fact that you have to say that means that
you're not. Like you either portray it or you don't.
Speaker 9 (01:44:17):
That's not as I wouldn't say being chills his strength
on the mound, not even close.
Speaker 8 (01:44:21):
But it's like stuff like that that like you you
sing that after the game, like I'm just like, oh
my god, man, Like you just don't get it, do you?
Like you understand to a point what you're being asked
to do, but I don't think that you're necessarily capable
of delivering that with consistent results. Conversely, what did we
see on Saturday Night? From Hunter Brown? Ninety eight pitches?
(01:44:43):
I throw out the tweet at the time, I say
he's probably done for the night. Apparently when he came
down the stairs, he looked right at Joe Spot and said,
I'm going back out like you're putting me back out there.
I'm going to save those guys in the bullpen and
give you one more inning.
Speaker 7 (01:44:58):
And that's which I want from my best. Damn right,
you do.
Speaker 9 (01:45:01):
My front line started. I want that from every starter
that's on any team. If you're not getting that, then
that guy shouldn't be running out in front. Hey, I
just to me, now, that's see, there's that old school.
There's a little bit of old school. And listen, you
can like old school or not when it comes to
that mentality. I'll take those guys all day, every day,
all day, every day. I'd rather have you fight with
(01:45:23):
a guy about pulling you out than beg to be
pulled out.
Speaker 7 (01:45:26):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 5 (01:45:27):
Sure?
Speaker 9 (01:45:27):
And you know what I'm saying. They don't literally out
loud begging. But you know, when a guy put it
this way, Hunter Brown's not ducking anything, and I need
we all need guys like that at the front that
aren't ducking pressure, aren't ducking opportunity, aren't duck in another inning,
are duck And then if you've got to get into
an argument with your manager over it, argue away, pop down,
(01:45:50):
to the bottom of the dugout steps, take you after
the clubhouse and say, I am gonna go finish this
next inning. Trust me on this one. I've trusted you,
trust me, I'm going to get this done. You need
me to do this, Go do your thing, buddy. So yeah,
there's there's no doubt and it's just been Listen, Frober's
got some things in his career. The one thing, like
(01:46:11):
I said, if it ever gets to the point where
the mental and emotional the emotional part of him more
importantly the emotional because he's a competitive guy. But you
can be competitive and still be a bit of a
wreck when it comes when the emotion gets sideways. If
the emotion ever matches the talent, he'll win a cy
young or two.
Speaker 7 (01:46:29):
He will. The question is how long are you gonna
say that? How long are you now?
Speaker 9 (01:46:34):
We it feels like Frober's been pitching for forty seven years.
He's in his twenties, is he not? Yeah, I was
gonna say upper twenties, twenty nine years old. So there's
still plenty of good baseball in him, but at some
point for him to get to the new level where
you're like every time he goes out there because his
stuff is stupid good. If the emotion will ever match
the physicals when he's on the mount, you got one
(01:46:56):
of the best, if not the best, left handed baseball
He's he's the There's just something missing from that that
there's a different mentality from other guys that are at
the top of the league.
Speaker 7 (01:47:06):
It's exactly what emotion.
Speaker 8 (01:47:08):
It's exactly what Dina said about, Oh, he's a middle
linebacker out there. Well, the middle linebacker can still get
you fifteen yards and lose your ballgame.
Speaker 9 (01:47:14):
And a middle linebacker plays with a lot of a
lot of emotion, most of them that you can see
in different sports possible, there's no doubt. So I love
a guy who's at tough. But part of being tough
isn't just throwing strikes. Part of being tough is how
good are you when things aren't going your way? And
that's not his strength, but it's going to have to
be because he's gonna run up against. Start looking at
(01:47:36):
the starters in these in the American League. Who you're
gonna run up against, not just hitting, but the matchups
when you face a daground like Connor Brown, or when
you face school you're not gonna be able to duck
those guys. Not saying from or wants to, but you're
gonna have to stand and expect. You're gonna be in
a three to one game that an error can be
the difference. So how you're gonna handle it?
Speaker 7 (01:47:53):
Expect it.
Speaker 9 (01:47:54):
Expect a pop up and there's two to one guys
on second third, Expect you catcher to hit the guy
in the back running down first base. Because it's happened
this year, this has been the trend this recent times. Right,
So you just got to go in and whatever it is.
You got to wow us with the emotion and if
chills the way he was his last start, then be
chill all the time.
Speaker 7 (01:48:13):
If that's what it takes. Because he was he was
really good. He's really good. Got to him, but he was,
He's had a good he pitched well enough to win.
I got a meditation app he can use if he
wants to. You'll have to convince him of that one. Yeah,
maybe I will. Maybe. Hey, by the way, you know,
you want to like maybe give from or this one?
I can send it to you can send it to him.
Is it the calm app?
Speaker 2 (01:48:34):
Not calm?
Speaker 7 (01:48:34):
It's another one. But it helps. It helps.
Speaker 8 (01:48:37):
I mean, you know whenever disdain Dan still bubbles up
after the show because I you know, I if I
go get a cup of coffee somewhere, they don't need that.
Speaker 7 (01:48:44):
A lot of d's in that this dance. There's a
lot of d's in there.
Speaker 1 (01:48:46):
You know.
Speaker 8 (01:48:46):
If I if I go get a sandwich somewhere, they
don't need that. You know, I'm going going to get
my uh you know, the meat, which not a lot
of sandwiches right now, but you know, going to get
the meat for the carnivore diet. Well, you know, people
behind the deli counter don't want to hear that from me,
the meat on her. They don't need a disdain Dan.
A lot of these yeah nuts on your forehead. Oh
geez man, that was no, that was well done. It's
(01:49:09):
so way too easy.
Speaker 4 (01:49:12):
I was.
Speaker 7 (01:49:12):
I was looking for a slider away fast inside.
Speaker 9 (01:49:16):
You can't catch up to ninety nine, bro I said,
you know, disdain Dan dial uh you know everything you
talked about in.
Speaker 7 (01:49:24):
The d I just simply said.
Speaker 9 (01:49:26):
I didn't even I just simply said a lot of
these I even just didn't even jump on it.
Speaker 7 (01:49:30):
I didn't even try to break the bat right.
Speaker 9 (01:49:31):
There, you know, ring his ass up either right hand
or triple in my hands would have just been in
shambles at that point. I tried to offer it that pitch.
Speaker 7 (01:49:40):
That was good by you. It really was well done,
all right.
Speaker 8 (01:49:44):
Something that actually we talked about with Sparky and and
I and I mentioned you because you are involved in
this and it's not the reason yesterday, but it was
a frustration. We'll talk about it in regards to the astros.
Here it is The Shawn Salisbury Show Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2 (01:49:59):
The Shawn Salsbury Show continued.
Speaker 9 (01:50:03):
Red hot, put in the tartar sauce and mixed around.
I'll do that and then some I like the oil vinegar,
put on the on the on the fish and chips,
and then a little you know that simple ketchup. I
can put on the dog on French fries.
Speaker 7 (01:50:16):
But good cocktail sauce goes a long way too. No, No,
soda is ranch dressing. Yeah, thick ranch dressing with French fries.
With French fries.
Speaker 9 (01:50:25):
I was gonna says, fish with ranch, No, no, no, no,
just the French fries you gotta keep. And I guess
it's not really sa different. But tartar sauce is better, right,
with a fresh tartar sauce with a great piece of
fish fresh off the ocean.
Speaker 7 (01:50:38):
Come on, son.
Speaker 8 (01:50:40):
And then like when it comes to fried shrimp, like
you know, some people will do it the corn meal batter,
I can't have it that way.
Speaker 7 (01:50:46):
I need the flour. I I need the flour. Neat
it that way, man, I could throw down some fried shrimp. Brother,
got me going now, say fried shrimp in a while,
either dude, some fried shrimp, some some fries, us, some
script dog, nice little beer to go with it, ice cold, yes, yes,
(01:51:07):
all of it. You find places that serve those.
Speaker 5 (01:51:09):
Let's go.
Speaker 7 (01:51:10):
You got you something. But Texans also lose fourteen to nine, man,
and you spend time talking about me. They they were
not good, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 8 (01:51:19):
I mean I told you about the team stats yesterday,
two of nine on third down, and as one of
our callers pointed out earlier, I think it was christ
and Jersey Village eleven penalties for eighty yards and you
only scored nine points.
Speaker 7 (01:51:33):
You committed more penalties than you scored points.
Speaker 9 (01:51:35):
Yeah, you can't kick field goals regularly and beat good teams.
You can't on the road against the super Bowl caliber
team that was close to making it last year too.
You can't penalize yourself. You can't lay balls on the ground.
I know that the physical airs are going to happen,
but the self inflicted stuff of silly penalties of the again,
(01:51:56):
the past protection of the offensive lines.
Speaker 7 (01:51:59):
I know they're banged up, but.
Speaker 9 (01:52:02):
When you're you're getting paid though, And then they got
their guys back in cam Robin. I mean's just I
understand why they tried to put ursery there at first.
Cam Robbins has got to start moving his feet, dude.
It is even when they protected the quarterback. The collapse
is too real in the pocket, it just is. And
you know, the run games seems like it's yesterday. It
(01:52:23):
felt everything felt like it was just labor, constant laboring.
As a football team, I trust defense like I do
pitching here. I trust the defense, But the offense has
got to find a consistent rhythm because right and Nico
Collins has got to be more involved.
Speaker 7 (01:52:40):
You just you can't. You cannot.
Speaker 9 (01:52:43):
You have to force feed him the ball, either formationally
or whatever. You've got to create spots for him to
get the football and you just have to he's your
best player on offense.
Speaker 8 (01:52:51):
Not there targeted five times just today, he caught three
of them for twenty five yards long enough four.
Speaker 9 (01:52:56):
Not enough on the road, and they a lot of
underneath it. And I don't mind the simple play, but
you do have to take shots along the way to
back them off. To wear a five yard catch and
tackle becomes a twelve yard catch, run and tackle. You've
got to create more space. I didn't think they did
a good job of that yesterday. And the offensive line,
if that's going to be the if that's what you
called nasty, you better get that fixed.
Speaker 7 (01:53:18):
You mentioned something there, and I understand.
Speaker 9 (01:53:20):
You know, Jay Andrews goes out with the foot injury
or ankle whatever he had during the game.
Speaker 7 (01:53:25):
But you hadn't played a game in eight months. How
are you banged up?
Speaker 9 (01:53:30):
You're talking to the wrong cat, dude. When it comes out,
football is a physical game, I get it, I don't.
I mean how many different times they had we talk
about guys being versatile. It was it was the whack
a mole game, dude. This is the shell game.
Speaker 7 (01:53:44):
This guy's here, all.
Speaker 8 (01:53:45):
Right, you're playing left tackle here this drive. You're playing
left guard. Move you to right guard.
Speaker 9 (01:53:49):
Now back to left tackle, tackle right tackle, right tackle,
back to left tackle, and then back to right tackle.
You're the left tackle, but we're not starting you now.
We're going to put you into left tackle and move
the rookie back to right tackle. Oh nope, we got
the center.
Speaker 7 (01:54:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (01:54:02):
It's like in the rhyme or reason. But the bottom
line is, no matter what combination they had right, they've
got to get They've got to be imposed. There will more,
not only in pass protection but in running. And I
saw a little bit of why Nick should the why
Nick Chubb runs hard. I told you he's a thumper, dude,
and he looks to me like he's still trying to
find his way. But the Texans should never be touchdown
(01:54:25):
shut out in a game. Never quarterback's too good. You've
got enough good players. They should never go. Now you're
gonna get beaten, low scoring, but you should never walk
out for football field ever and not having scored a.
Speaker 7 (01:54:37):
Touchdown at some point. Nick Chubb four point six yards
per carry us, you can live with that.
Speaker 9 (01:54:41):
That'll be you average four point six to five yards
of carry. You'll be in the top top, top leading
carriers in the league over the of the course to say,
I mean you just you do that two or three times,
you get a first down. So but eventually they squeeze you,
and you've got to be able to make a play
in the passing game with your best players and take
a few shots to at least get them thinking that
(01:55:02):
we got to create some space where they're going to
go right over the top of them.
Speaker 7 (01:55:04):
Nice to see CJ also use his feet yesterday because
that was something that underrated weapon. Gotta have it.
Speaker 8 (01:55:10):
It was like almost like he unlocked something mentally last
year in that playoff game when he took off against
the Chargers where he was like, oh, yeah, I can
still do this. It's like, yeah, you can just be
smart about it and don't be like Lamar Jackson on
that one play where he took a shot.
Speaker 9 (01:55:26):
Yeah, get down a play the time. You're no good
to me, said Bus playing a backup quarterback.
Speaker 7 (01:55:31):
I got to have him.
Speaker 9 (01:55:32):
But those feet, as you saw Jade and Daniels created yesterday,
you saw Josh Allen. We know what Lamar Jackson does.
Herbert's created it. Mahomes over the course of time has
done it. So hell, look at justin Fields's feet yesterday.
What is the difference it made in their game? Even
though they lost, they had a chance to win that
and probably should have because they gave Pittsburgh's defense trouble.
And Rogers looked a little quick step urgent. As opposed
(01:55:55):
to the year last year when he was coming off
the year before achilles injury, this looked more like on schedule,
off schedule, Aaron Rodgers hitting slants, the ball coming out
on time, So.
Speaker 7 (01:56:06):
You start to look around. Stroud's feet are.
Speaker 9 (01:56:10):
Going to be an advantage for him as long as
we don't have to bail all the time. Okay, you've
got you've got to solidify that. Let him say, his
feet and the hits or even close to the hits
walking them back, they start to add up and they
start to speed up your process, which becomes a problem
delivering the football when everything is Urgent's one thing being
sped up in desperate to another. This offensive line has
(01:56:32):
got to shore this up, and they can't. You know,
they can't miss tackles. They blew coverage a couple of times,
and they're soon There were some free runners that were
too open.
Speaker 7 (01:56:40):
Yeah, that Stafford, and listen Stafford's.
Speaker 9 (01:56:42):
Going to make some phenomenal throws anyway, but you can't
let Puka and those guys do what they do because
a guy like that will destroy you because he's at
the point of his career he's figured out the mental side.
Speaker 8 (01:56:52):
The quick throws from Shroud were by necessity it. I mean,
I think that there was a little bit of like
lessons learned, but still a lot of that was by necessity.
Speaker 9 (01:57:00):
Hence why you can't live it. You're gonna whether it's
play action and turn the line back, whether it's max
protect at some point in time because the guy is
so good at intermediate delivery of the ball and taking
shots even if they're not complete.
Speaker 7 (01:57:11):
They do wear on a defense.
Speaker 9 (01:57:13):
If I know I'm getting horizontal football from you, and
and I'll just squeeze you a zero to ten and
if you can't break a tackle, then you're going to
be punting to me quite often.
Speaker 8 (01:57:21):
Well, it was kind of the tail of that yesterdays,
as I mentioned, with giving up seven third down conversions
and thirteen chances defensively, so good but not good enough,
I think would probably be the way to describe the
way the Texans defense played. Larry tim see you guys,
We'll involve you right here. It is the Sean Salisbury Show.
You want to join them seOne three two one two
(01:57:43):
five seven ninety against seven one three two one two
five seven ninety As we continue here.
Speaker 7 (01:57:47):
On a Monday, let's go. This is the Sean Salisbury Show.
Neither did much of the Mariners. So now did cal
hit it all the way to California?
Speaker 8 (01:57:59):
Not quite to Caliblifornia, but he did hit it to
the fountain out there in center field at Truest Park
is called Chattahoochee Falls.
Speaker 7 (01:58:05):
What's he? Now? We have fifty three fifty two where we.
Speaker 8 (01:58:08):
I'd have to look, but I mean he's in the neighbor,
he's in the ballpark. Is he California Calvin? Or is
he Calhoun? Like cal McNair is Calhoun Raley?
Speaker 7 (01:58:20):
You get my point?
Speaker 9 (01:58:20):
I do anybody that's name is cal though I call
it California. Yeah, Calhoun McNair, d Calhoun McNair. See when
you're trying to go to the d's nuts joke.
Speaker 7 (01:58:31):
No, I wasn't.
Speaker 8 (01:58:31):
I wasn't the initial I didn't. I didn't have a
teed up. But like if you have something like that,
as as a person of status. I mean you already
know that you're a person of status because you mean
the initial first. Yes, for rich people, that's what it is.
It's either that or it's you find out where they
live and their address isn't four digits five digits like us,
(01:58:55):
you know, normal plebeians.
Speaker 7 (01:58:56):
Twenty five, Yes, it's twenty five. It's Sanderson Place, yes, yeah.
And it's always a court. Yeah, it's always a court.
Speaker 8 (01:59:05):
Like you find out where like a really rich person lives,
you're going to get through about two or three different gates.
Speaker 7 (01:59:09):
Well, none of that fits me. But I'm I'm R.
Sean Salisbury because I go by my middle name. I'm
Richard John.
Speaker 9 (01:59:15):
You're rich in many ways. No, I can just you know,
but what you do is you stick that on your door,
like R. Sewan because it's like like a CEO. Oh man,
we got ore, you know, it's just like the three.
You gotta the the initials, like, oh, Scott Fitzgerald. Yeah,
all of a sudden, we're supposed to take what Scott
Fitzgerald do to you know, that's that's an author. His
name is Scott Fitzer.
Speaker 8 (01:59:35):
No again, I still don't understand, like what what's what's
your problem with Scott Fitzgerald?
Speaker 9 (01:59:39):
No doubt so I I uh, but you're exactly right
when you got the additional first. It's usually normally you
think any you go by that like on your card,
he's warn't an ascot before. Oh, there's no doubt. And
top siders on on a yacht, guys like me drive
a boat, sipuburb and drive a drive yacht.
Speaker 8 (01:59:58):
Would you would you? Would you like some pappy? That
is fifteen years age? Do you have any others? The
elusive goal that everybody wants more pappy? Yes, that's it, dude,
and especially too if you've had good pappy. It's anytime
it's offered, you take it.
Speaker 7 (02:00:13):
Yeah, you stand in line for it. Oh yeah, damn
right you do. seOne three, two, two, five seven ninety Larry,
what's up? Larry?
Speaker 2 (02:00:21):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (02:00:22):
Gentlemen? Happy Monday to y'all. Man Sehn, I'm you know,
maybe it's just as I continue to mature in this
life that I'm living, maybe uh, my tolerance for ignorance
has gone way through the roof now because I'm just
not going to tolerate it.
Speaker 4 (02:00:38):
There are people.
Speaker 5 (02:00:39):
Literally out on these streets these Twitter streets, thes real
streets talking about c J. Stroud is maybe an average
a mediocre quarterback. If that's what you're saying on my
Twitter feed, just consider yourself blocked, because see, these are
the kind of things that I just don't tolerate anymore. Man,
Because if you're watching football and ce J Stroud lead
(02:01:01):
your to a score before the half, and he put
you in position to win the game, and somebody else
fumbled the football, and you come to me saying that
he's mediocre, I'm thinking your ass is an idiot. That
is not how the game is played. Sure we wanted
bigger stats, Sure we wanted more scoring, but the Texas
were in position to win that game and they committed
(02:01:21):
a turnover. Here's the thing that we got to also accept.
They only scored fourteen points yesterday. That was the lowest
scoring points in a winning game yesterday in the NFL.
The Texas defense gave up fourteen points and held the
Rams under three hundred yards of total offense. If you
(02:01:43):
go out there and do what you're supposed to do,
protect the football, get Nico involved, this team is gonna
be just fine. The only two issues that I had
with the Texas yesterday. You put tay Er three ass
that left tackle and leave it him the hell alone.
Quit moving him all around the damn offensive land like
(02:02:04):
y'all done with other offensive linemen and ruin their careers.
Exam you see if Philu and all these other clowns
that we've had, and the other thing that I'm gonna
continue to address, the Miko Rice cannot put Jalen Petrie
or Hall of Fame wide receivers and think that he
is going to get a positive result. It doesn't happen.
(02:02:28):
These dudes are designed to beat you that way, to Miko,
so play the defense that you need to play, stop
your cornerback in and take Petrie out. Do something other
than putting him on that kind of dude in our hall.
Speaker 9 (02:02:41):
Larry and Stafford right, correct Number one real quick is
there's nothing average about CJ. Strouds. Matter of fact, he's
so non average. I mean, I'm going to continue to
ask more of him. That's how well how much I
believe in him. We just got to stop this. Like
you said, it's hard to play when you've got to
(02:03:01):
stare Atchow and he's exactly right. You want continuity if
you're looking for Ursery's career and what you're looking for.
Plug him in and let him, let him go and
adjust the other four if necessary.
Speaker 7 (02:03:13):
I wasn't out there for training camp, but I think
they did that.
Speaker 9 (02:03:16):
They put him there in first place for a reason,
So keep him there, let him, let him do his thing.
And lastly, the defense was as the defense is going
to As I've said here, the defense is gonna they'll
make they they'd left him running coverage a little bit,
but Stafford's not exactly chopped Liver and Pook and Nikup
is not exactly an average player. This defense is going
(02:03:36):
to get plenty of stops. There are going to be
a top five defense in the league the show. I'm
just telling you they are. But nine points is not
going to be enough. You can't lay the ball on
the ground on the road against a good team. We've
seen that. We know and Demico knows all this, and
then you've got to actually stretch and push and attack more.
But there's nothing average about about c J. Stroud at all.
Speaker 7 (02:03:58):
And I'm with him.
Speaker 9 (02:04:00):
There's not a safety in the league. This is no
disrespect to Petrie, who I think is a hell of
you know how I feel about. This is the best
young secondary in the league in my opinion. If that
means you know what, stinging may have to travel, meaning
if you're inside outside may have to be on your
best player. I just may have to do it because
there's not a safety in the league. Petri included because
he is a safety. He's not a corner playing nickel slot.
(02:04:23):
The mismatch that is Nicoua on Petrie is like shooting
fish in a barrel there. You've never done it, but
I know it's easy, okay, And that's not Peter's. So
you're dealing with the best slot guy, movement guy that
we have in the league right now. When it comes
to that the possession stuff to get open, he's so
precise and dynamic.
Speaker 7 (02:04:42):
It's a mismatch and you can't do it. It's got
to be a corner.
Speaker 9 (02:04:44):
I want Petri in the game, but that can't be
it because I'm trying to move my formations around to
get myself with a receiver locked onto a safety, not
a corner. Safeties aren't usually cover guys unless it's a
tight end. Now, we've gotten so much to work these
flex tight ends and the slot guys that you're putting
them in a mind.
Speaker 7 (02:05:04):
Petrie is is good, but you can't.
Speaker 9 (02:05:07):
You can't have him running around covering the best player
on that team not named Matt Stafford, and you just can't.
He's gonna get He's going to get his catches. Make
it more difficult on him. You get to the point,
even with that good defense, is that you may have
to have Stingley travel inside and outside to take away
your best and then make him beat you with somebody else.
The coup and he was banged up and still delivered
(02:05:29):
like he did. That's a football playing jesse Man.
Speaker 8 (02:05:32):
That final conversion for the Rams, too, eyes were everywhere.
It's what Dimiko told us out.
Speaker 9 (02:05:36):
The ghenomenal play call. You talk about guts and then
having to make a throw off, schedule it off ballance
and make it accurate.
Speaker 8 (02:05:45):
Great play call, great for them, not so much for
the Texans. See a couple of you waiting on the
phone lines. We'll get you involved. You want to join
him someone three two one two five seven ninety. Also
to that Astro's lineup thing, we'll get to it all right.

Speaker 8 (02:06:46):
I mean, I know some of you probably the energy
is slumping, you know, because the Astros lose four to
two and then drop two out of three to the Rangers,
and now the Rangers are only four games back of
them in the division. And well the Mariners also beat
the Braves, so now they're only two and a half
games back, and then the Texans lose fourteen to nine
there in La.
Speaker 7 (02:07:04):
I mean, I get it.
Speaker 8 (02:07:05):
I know how mondays can go around here when it's
a highly anticipated sports weekend that doesn't go one hundred
percent according to plan.
Speaker 7 (02:07:12):
That's fine, I get it. It's fine.
Speaker 8 (02:07:14):
Just trying to bring the juice, trying to bring the energy,
trying to fire you up as you're stuck in traffic
right now on the north side of the of the loop.
That's that's all I'm trying to do here. You know
that that exit to Ella it's backed up a little bit.
Then you get up to the light and maybe a
handful of cars. Don't you always notice that too?
Speaker 7 (02:07:30):
You played the Ella card?
Speaker 9 (02:07:31):
Yeah, Ella is a good exit. Yeah yeah, Ella TC
just right off six ten right yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:07:37):
Ella TC for it. Yeah. And then you know Shepherd Durham. Yeah,
I like your stop all of them yep, and sometimes.
Speaker 8 (02:07:45):
Too if you don't have the toll tag, it'll kick
you over to Shephard and you got to take that
to go up to forty five, and then you go
up forty five and yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:07:51):
You're right there. Look how you explain it nice. When
it comes to directions, I can I can hit you
with some directions. Yeah, your directions guy. Pretty much. If
I go to a place once, I remember how to
get there. Fair.
Speaker 8 (02:08:03):
But I still do use my GPS because then it's
all right. You know, I want to know if there's
a if there's a wreck on forty five, which there
always is, so I know that you can get off
at cross Timbers and cut over that way any of
those other ways.
Speaker 7 (02:08:18):
You're distained in now you're over the Little York over
my gallery furniture.
Speaker 8 (02:08:21):
Area, right well, I mean and that's yeah, yeah, between
between tied Well and Little York's right there. You know
Mac Mac telling us uh or Tidwell and Parker. I'm sorry, see.
Speaker 9 (02:08:31):
That's all right, Little York, Parker, ted Well. They're all
within two miles of each other. You know you're gallery furniture.
You're not going to miss it. I've got the stadium
lights right there. You got the huge video board. You're
all good, you know Mac and crew are in there.
Shout out Royal or Tega, everybody over there. Great people.
So look at you, look at you and giving your
just rolling down the scroll the list of all the
(02:08:52):
good people.
Speaker 7 (02:08:53):
He's great people over there, an right he does.
Speaker 9 (02:08:56):
And the Mac and Vale family they they definitely support.
So you think, shout him out every chance yet understatement
of the year, no doubt. But it's a chance to
step up for the city. The man does it all regularly,
and even when there's no chance, he creates chances of
opportunities to help somebody, which is a good thing. Always does.
Back to these Texans out man, I am I don't
(02:09:21):
know if I should be concerned after week one. Offensively,
I'm still trying to figure out, Okay, let him settle in.
But maybe it's because it was such a just a
little more and they win the game. I mean literally now,
I don't know if the Rams are going to go
down and score with a minute to go though, I
mean put themselves in position to kick a field goal
or what have you. But I can tell you this,
(02:09:43):
that unfortunate guy who's been reliable, who doesn't lay the
ball on the ground, it was just a perfect storm
for a ball that was punched out and then they
recover it and I'll tell you Fisks hands on that
was the guy who's forceble, but fiscns a big fellow
that will usually slides around, ripped it, Paul. He was phenomenal.
I when I looked at it, Gain I said, we
(02:10:05):
don't realize this isn't all State hands team waiting for
an onside kick. This was a big physical lineman that
goes there and grabs it like he's mister versatility and
pause it and brings it in and secures it. It's
one thing to lay it down, it's another to make
a great recovery and the recovery was phenomenal, But I'm
trying to figure out.
Speaker 7 (02:10:23):
I'm trying to.
Speaker 9 (02:10:24):
Like I said, I don't like had they one by thirty,
I wouldn't put him in a super Bowl either, but
it would have given us a little bit more going
into the next week and the next week about how
you try to get this done. But there are some
things that they're gonna have to and it's it's the
self inflicted things that bother me the most. You've had
a training camp, and I know it's early in the season,
but I don't think we can keep making the excuses that, oh,
(02:10:46):
it's early because you say it too much and before
you know, you're one and two and then you're chasing
the rest of them.
Speaker 8 (02:10:51):
I mean it's not only that. I mean you had
eight months to try to clean up these mistakes. I
mean you have ample enough time as a coaching staff.
You dissect every bit of film and go over it
with players of hey, here's why you committed that penalty.
Because you're out of position. You can have all the
receipt you know, officials out there practice that you want.
Nothing is going to substitute game speed. But it's also
(02:11:14):
something I talked about while you stepped out for a moment,
like you made roster moves this off season to try
to alleviate this problem, like Chris Boyd's not here anymore,
probably doing large parts of pushing the special teams coach
last year for being honest because you finally said to yourself,
that gets me beat. Stuff like that gets me beat.
I'm not going to have that guy on this roster anymore.
(02:11:36):
And clearly it didn't make a difference.
Speaker 7 (02:11:38):
You can't.
Speaker 9 (02:11:40):
They're gonna watch that tape today and it's it's gonna
bug the hell out of them because they're gonna say,
after all this, we're inside the red zone to win
a game, after all of it, and and Larry's right,
the defense to be able to hold a Matt Stafford
team in there building to fourteen points, that's saying something.
Speaker 7 (02:12:00):
You win that game.
Speaker 9 (02:12:00):
No, you're gonna you're not gonna lose many given fourteen
points to any team, let alone good I mean bad teams.
You're going to hell that you have your pitch of
shoutout at fourteen. And that's the way that defense can play.
They're gonna still got some things, and I know Demico
expects them to play better in certain situations. But yet
that passing game, you're facing one of the better quarterback
(02:12:21):
receiver combos. When it comes to those two, Pooka and
him are on the same It's it's a really actually
it's when it's at your expense, it sucks. But if
you really want to watch how a guy is precise
in his route running, that Nikkoup is such a great
watch and Stafford can still rip it after all these years. Man,
it's just and yet they're still in position to win,
which gives you hope, but you don't. It's a bummer
(02:12:42):
to be down on one. It's sure feel better you
beat it a team that is a Final Four caliber
team and you beat him in their building and you
have dead to rights. You just did, and you would
have watched that tape and said we were about seventy
percent of what we should be truthfully, but you're gonna
get beat by Carolinas or by the New Orleans and
Saints type teams. I'm not saying they're on the schedule.
You get my point. Teams that you're like, come on, man,
(02:13:05):
if you come in two years in a row, because
you're gonna you're good. Those self inflicted airs, ten penalties.
You know, the running taking a while to get going
with the run game, quarterback flat on his back.
Speaker 7 (02:13:15):
It can't be just like the pitching.
Speaker 9 (02:13:18):
You can't expect stroud to have out of body experiences
every week and say, oh, we're gonna be okay. As
you can see, that position's tough no matter how good
the quarterback is. You can't play from your ass, and
you sure can't play one dimensional, and you can't play sideways.
You're geting sideways. Football is fine as long as we
get some vertical attack. And I just thought that there
was a and they did a good job keep it
(02:13:39):
close and give us a chance, and they did have
one and they didn't pull it off. But the defense
was the Rams won't score fourteen points or less many
times this year.
Speaker 7 (02:13:48):
I assure you of that, and if they do, they're
probably going to lose eight. That's right, that's right. So
I mean, as I said, the defense was good, not
good enough.
Speaker 8 (02:13:57):
We did play a cut from CJ earlier where he
had some concerns about their practice week.
Speaker 9 (02:14:03):
Now a lot of times that's overblown now, but normally
it's the other way. Guys air on the side of
great week. I actually like that, Yes, great week and
just take in and get a beat down by Florida. Look,
you can sometimes too.
Speaker 8 (02:14:17):
I mean, I don't remember the last time I heard
somebody say this, but you can have a well I'm
gonna be honest.
Speaker 9 (02:14:22):
I was concerned because we didn't really have a good
week of practice and then you go play your ass off.
It happens once in a while there you go. But
I can tell you this, most of the time, when
you practice well, you at least play pretty decent football.
It doesn't mean you're gonna win them all. But I
like the fact that he called it out, saying, you
know what, concerned about our practice week. And here's the
thing that bugs me, though, I understand in week nine
(02:14:43):
you're getting ready to play a team that's got two wins.
Why your practice week was kind of you know, you
got to guard against flounder and around kind of putting
your pads on during stretching lines that the focus goes away.
That's the time when you've got to be supremely hyper
sensitive to the focus, making sure they are. I've just
never understood if CJ's concerned them coming out of coming
(02:15:06):
out these two weeks getting ready for an.
Speaker 7 (02:15:08):
Open it was the Rams and your feature games, right.
Speaker 9 (02:15:12):
I have a hard time of why, why in the
world was a practice week not good or your concerns
coming out of it. You better fix those quick, because
I don't know many good teams that practice crappy. I
don't know if that was the case, but when your
quarterback saying he's concerned about the week practice, it tells
me that when he left the practice field on a
Wednesday or thursdays like, something's not right here, man, And
(02:15:35):
yet they were still going in to score with a
chance to score and win this game.
Speaker 7 (02:15:39):
And it wasn't right practice. You better get it.
Speaker 9 (02:15:42):
So practice practice ain't just the Alan iverson of are
we talking practice? We are actually talking practice in the
NFL because you don't want to get that feeling. And
you can also have great practice weeks and get your
ass handed to you because the other team's pretty good too,
but you just can't. I hate when that creeps in
week one. We're not supposed to be tired. You had
(02:16:03):
two weeks.
Speaker 7 (02:16:04):
You're not supposed to be You're supposed to have a
good price.
Speaker 9 (02:16:06):
It's the friggin' Rams that that that right Now would
people say going into the week, who's got a better
chance to get Super Bowl? The Rams are the Texans
in their conference. Most people depointed the Rams, and you
had a chance to go in there building and take
it from them. And unforced airs, self inflicted problems, stupid penalties,
and a couple of and let's make no mistake, we
went into this, what do we say, Oh, the Rams
(02:16:27):
defenses do? They will dominate your ass if you're not careful,
and they're did. And that push at the quarterback position
won't get any easier because you're running into some defense
and your throughout your season that are going.
Speaker 7 (02:16:39):
To be brutal to deal with.
Speaker 9 (02:16:41):
Oh yeah, this is just in You play a first
place schedule again, and those first place teams are usually
pretty good, yep. And they get after it. And so
it's a bummer that it got away. They're still a
good team. They're still going to be the best team
of the division, I believe. But after one game, we
shouldn't be questioned and the things were questioned. I understand
getting beat, but you shouldn't be q question the things
you're questioning. And he's sure as hell coming into the
(02:17:03):
first week, this ain't week nine where you're tired. This
is week one, and wonder what happened on the practice?
Remember what I told you my concern was with that
offensive line last year is how do I want to
know how they practiced? And apparently not very damn well,
or they would have the same offensive line coach and
Tunsell would still be here. So apparently they didn't practice
real well or meet real well on a consistent basis.
(02:17:25):
You better nip that in the bud right now because
it looked like a team who didn't practice well offensively,
especially that.
Speaker 8 (02:17:32):
Group too, because you need them all working in unison
and they were anything but yesterday. Mike and Humbole see
you right there, and now you want to get in
on the Strows Stros Texans all available to you. Maybe
we'll get into that Astros lineup thing that I threw
out there last hour as we continue here. It is
the Sean Salisbury Show on a Monday Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 9 (02:17:54):
I am a well I can tell you what kind
of dip daisy French onion dip in the days ranch

always has the daisy French onion dip or the daisy
(02:18:16):
ranch tip. Was in the local grocery store over the

Speaker 7 (02:18:25):
And don't you do it on holidays too, You do

do it sports and it's sports season.
Speaker 9 (02:18:30):
This is daisy French onion dip and ranch dip time
of year, right and now it comes out with this
delicious French onion dip as an obsession of mine.
Speaker 7 (02:18:40):
They are delicious. Is homemade dip. You can add whatever
you want to be.
Speaker 9 (02:18:43):
You won't need to because they got the real urbs

own kitchen.
Speaker 7 (02:18:47):
But they're doing it for you.
Speaker 9 (02:18:49):

Speaker 7 (02:19:34):
Here Mike and Humble wants to weigh in. Mike, good morning.
Speaker 4 (02:19:37):
Oh yeah, I got I got tech and one astros
and one tech and for crying out, lab put out
to be at the lead off position thempaign. Then albare is.
Oh and one other thing. I didn't get to see
the game yesterday. But why was uh Fromeran and seventh?
(02:20:00):
I thought Garcia started.
Speaker 7 (02:20:03):
No, Robert pitched yesterday. Garcia is gonna go tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (02:20:06):
Oh okay, I didn't understand. I didn't know, but uh okay.
And with the Texans, I did oh everything Larry said
except one thing. With the offensive line in question. Take
strauts ass out of the pocket and let him use
this athletic ability to create plays. And for crying out loud,
(02:20:31):
they need to pass pass the ball more. And on defense,
we need to strengthen our past defense. Run defense is
number one in the league in my books. All right,
and I'll hang up and listen to y'all guys.
Speaker 8 (02:20:45):
I appreciate Mike. I mean with Stroud yesterday. Yeah, hey,
appreciate it. With Stroud yesterday, he did run the ball
five times. I mean one was the last time we
saw a stat line that had that out of them. Yeah,
I mean it wasn't for a lack of effort. He
just got sacked three times in the game yesterday.
Speaker 9 (02:21:03):
I think he's start a little more designed run. You're
never going to have lamar, Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Get him on the edge. And also, I'm a big
believer and if a guy's got athleticism, and CJ was
a good basketball player as well, so he's got good feet.
Is I'm big on changing the launch point in my
quarterback because in this system right now, the launch point
(02:21:24):
is between the tackles when you're playing. But we'll just
go back and watch the tape of the game last
night between those two quarterbacks, to try to tell me
where their launch point is every single snap, you can't
find it. And he said, well, look at guys like Marino. Yeah,
well Marino couldn't move. His launch point was right in
the pocket. But by the time you got to him,
the ball was out four times. It's none of your
(02:21:45):
damn business, Dan, Yeah, and I appreciate if you stayed
out of my personal affairs.
Speaker 7 (02:21:49):
What's that Marino? Oh there you go? Hey, you got
any more of that gum?
Speaker 12 (02:21:52):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (02:21:52):
Yeah, yeah, none of your damn business, Dan a Ventura.
But you're a weird guy, so I would like to
see I would like to see a little more bandwidth
to it as well. But the key is they're going
to make a living with him delivering the football in
the pocket. That's who they are, running play action, getting
a run game going, and defending. Defending to the point
where you get him some short fields to make it easy.
(02:22:14):
But it won't matter what you do with the the
get him on the edge or in the pocket, or
design runs. If the line of scrimmage is constantly in
your backfield.
Speaker 8 (02:22:25):
He wants to throw from the pocket too. That's the
way he was at Ohio State. Would he take off,
would he make plays with his feet? Sure he would,
But it's going to be a this is a last
ing to beat you for the pocket I'm taking off.
I mean, you know, and I know that even some
people last night watching that Sunday night game. Oh, I
mean you know, but look at look at Josh Allen
(02:22:45):
taking off thirteen times. Here's a major difference. Josh Allen's
like six five, two fifty. He can take those hits
more than CJ. Stroud can.
Speaker 7 (02:22:52):
Here's another thing.
Speaker 9 (02:22:54):
Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, their offenses are designed to
do this. They they'll read option if they run quarterback
power down on the red zone regularly with Josh Allen.
Speaker 7 (02:23:05):
So, but this is part of it.
Speaker 9 (02:23:06):
If you try to get him involved in that now
you're trying to take, you're trying to turn him into
something that is not his SPA listen.
Speaker 5 (02:23:14):
C J.
Speaker 9 (02:23:14):
Stroud is not a sc A run designed run guy.
He is a pocket extender coming off play action and
or where it starts to the pocket. They can extend
the pocket all they want if they can't throw between
tackles and let him set his feet and everything's got
to be the quick game. It's going to be a
long season, so they've got to do that that listen,
he delivers the ball plenty five from there, and he's
(02:23:36):
got great, good enough athleticism to escape and do it.
And if you're going to design runs, it's on that
third and one pole. Get to the edge, get five
yards and get down. But he's going to make most
his hay in the run game with his feet on
plays at breakdown. But they could change his law point
launch point on play action, boots and stuff that's off
play action.
Speaker 7 (02:23:56):
That's how you build it in.
Speaker 9 (02:23:57):
Give him that run pass option out of it, and
I think you could probably expand that because he is
athletic enough.
Speaker 7 (02:24:02):
But I got news for him. Make no mistake, you're
not gonna win that.
Speaker 9 (02:24:05):
This offense isn't gonna look like Buffalo and Baltimore's because
those two guys have made a living that's part of
their whole defined system. This system is take a look
at what forty nine ers round. Matt Stafford tries to
extend the play a little bit. All you gotta do
is look at those guys in those systems. Perty's not
meant to scramble. He's off schedule, he's not flagging play
(02:24:28):
action in there and pulling it and going and running
off the RPO six seven, eight times a game. You
get my point. So while it's there and you can
use it to your advantage. It really comes down to this,
how stout are you with the five guys up front?
And if it doesn't get any better CJ. Stroud's Superman
game won't matter over the course of seventeen of them.
(02:24:48):
Defense will be fine, and it is one game. Let's
see how they progress in the next two or three weeks.
Offensive line and settle in, but you can't keep you
can't play checkers with these guys off both this. You
know we're playing black mole where this guy's this guy
you got to find him and hope you get healthy.
But it also goes to what kind of backups do
you have that you expect because they have to be
prepared to play when you think they'd have to be
(02:25:10):
prepared to play. But if they were, then they probably
would have played yesterday. For how bad it's still coming
out of Week one, self inflicted errors in the offensive
line is still a heavy weakness right now, and it
looks like you just had.
Speaker 7 (02:25:23):
A continuation of last season. Honestly is what it did
goes back to your concerns about Stroud in the practice
field this week. That bothers me.
Speaker 8 (02:25:29):
Yeah, I mean it's it's that, But it's just also
too what what was a good win last year from
this team that you came out of it seeing man,
you know what? That was a really good football team
you beat?
Speaker 7 (02:25:40):
What was a good win?
Speaker 9 (02:25:41):
There's got to be some. I'd have to go back
and think about the schedule. There's got to be a
couple when you don't win ten or eleven game, ten
games the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (02:25:47):
I mean maybe that was it against against the Chargers. Yeah. Defensively,
I can give you a lot of them. Offensive I can.
I can give you a lot of good defensive games. Offensively,
you'd have to sift to you talk from start to
finish where it was like, Okay, this team's real. There
wasn't many of them, but they're gonna need They're gonna
need more and more importantly, I'm gonna tell you, we say,
(02:26:07):
is the quarterback goes so go for this team, it's
the offensive line is gonna take them where they want
to go or they're not gonna get where they want
to go when they finally scored a second half touchdown
last year.
Speaker 9 (02:26:18):
Yeah, they're too good to get shut out end zone
wise on the team, but again self inflicted errors and
can't get walked back into the quarterback and you've got
to create a new line of scrimmage. Unfortunately, too many
times in the last two years they've played on the
wrong side of the line of scrimmage. If you're a
Texans fan, quick prayer here, name of the Father, Son,
Holy Spirit, Amen.
Speaker 7 (02:26:37):
Lord. All we asked for is just some offense in
this town. That's all we asked for. That's what you're asking.
There's just just some offense. Can somebody please do it?
That's all we asked for. Consistent offense, and your name,
humbly pray Amen. Amen.
Speaker 8 (02:26:50):
Yeah, that's it. There you go, throwing one up John
on the northwest side. See they're speaking of something that
Mike brought up about Jose Altuve. The numbers aren't pretty
and it ain't pretty for a lot of the lineup.
And you know something we talked about with Steve Sparks
will pay that off right here. It is a Shawn

Speaker 2 (02:29:22):
The Sean Salisbury Show continued.
Speaker 8 (02:29:25):
Minike had brought up the point about jose Al Tuvey
moving him back to the leadoff spot. Are you aware
in his last twenty four games he's hitting one sixty
eight and oh, by the way, here in the month
of September he's got twenty eight at bats, Sean, he's
hitting one oh seven. Yeah, so you want that leading
off well and plus thanks, Pain has been really good there.
(02:29:47):
I mean, I know Al twove over the course of
his time, but they figured it's the best the way
Pain is rolling. You want to get him those at bats,
and you want to get your do on in the
two hold. You need more pats well, I mean you
want him up with the most RBI chances.
Speaker 9 (02:29:59):
And that's why Steve made the point about Jake Myers
in the ninth right on base so at the tool
you get a chance with him and paying you to
drive and run.
Speaker 8 (02:30:06):
Thank you for saying that, because that actually gets me
to my next point. I need to go back and
see where Myers batted on Saturday. But when I saw
the lineup come out, and I wasn't so jazzed about
Christian Walker and Yaner Diaz batting back to back, but
where they were seven and eight in the order, they
both combined to go four for ten with five runs
batted in of the eleven runs you had that night.
(02:30:28):
And then let's fast forward to yesterday, which, by the way, Myers.
Speaker 7 (02:30:32):
Only bat at ninth, So you had it.
Speaker 8 (02:30:34):
You had the lineup set up the way that you
just said it right there of having Meyer's bat ninth.
So then let's go to yesterday and a little bit
of a reconfiguration of the lineup. You moved Myers up
to six. You still got Diaz there at seven, but
you had Walker batting fifth.
Speaker 7 (02:30:50):
Like I get matchups and all of that.
Speaker 8 (02:30:52):
And Joe, true to your words of what you just
told this guy back in February at FanFest, you don't
want to have a million different lineups. That's fine. It worked,
you scored eleven runs. You hadn't been doing that a
lot lately. Stick with it into it doesn't work.
Speaker 9 (02:31:06):
How many times have we gone five straight games with
the lineup this year? I can't same hitting order. Hell,
five games, I'll even remember two or three.
Speaker 7 (02:31:15):
I wonder why that is.
Speaker 9 (02:31:17):
Again, I understand what Steve's saying about matchups, but guys
are struggling.
Speaker 7 (02:31:22):
Sometimes off days, scheduled off days. I'll always have a listen.
One day, we go, well, we'll see you the next day.
We'll see you the next day, and we'll see you
the next day.
Speaker 9 (02:31:35):
I I'd rather have it, or somebody has to tap
me on the shoulder and I got to check the
lineup card, as opposed to I got to check the
lineup card before somebody tasks me on the shoulder. Because
I'm not sure I'm playing today. That's I don't know,
And I just maybe I, like I said, I think
different about it. I just don't understand. I've been one
of those. If you have success, keep going to the
well until they stop it or you stop yourself. It's
(02:31:57):
in football too, if you're running tall sweep and they
can't stop. But why in the world you quit running it.
There's a problem here. If they can't stop it, run it.
When's the last time nicoole got it, just got another catch,
just made another kitch. Can't stop it in the world.
When you go to him student body right. Well, I
was a big part of meaning, big part being I've
lived it with them. And when Marcus Allen was our
(02:32:19):
tailback and Bruce Matthews, Roy Foster and Don mostmar all
first rounders are on our starting offensive line, we could
tell you we were running student body right and we'd
still run it and get yards.
Speaker 8 (02:32:29):
Why because they weren't good enough to stop it, your buddy.
Most people around here are gonna have no idea who
this is. But he used to be on C and
his name's John Frickey, and I did a high school
game with him once and he called a student body sweep,
student body sweep to the right, and I was like, WHOA.
I was like, that's a that's an interesting play call there.
He was like, oh, the old John McKay days at USC.
Speaker 7 (02:32:50):
We didn't call it. We called it. We called it toss.
Speaker 9 (02:32:53):
But if student body right explained it, we didn't need
to call it sweep, student body right, student body left,
check with me, twenty five power, twenty eight to twenty
eight toss and Marcus.
Speaker 7 (02:33:02):
Well back there.
Speaker 9 (02:33:02):
If they overloaded, one side would go the other and
it didn't matter. I mean, I think at one point
in time. We were playing Notre Dame Marcus's fresh my
freshman year, Marcus's Heisman Trophy winning year, and I think
we ran it like fourteen straight times.
Speaker 7 (02:33:14):
We ran the football because it was and that's Notre Dame.
It was always good.
Speaker 9 (02:33:18):
Stout and we just kept runing because they could stop it.
So same thing in baseball is my favorite stout Yeah,
stout we were. I mean they're stout inside, and we
just kept playing major Division one football. Yeah, they probably
are pretty stout. Some some look more stout than they performed,
but Notre Dame performed it as well. But we just
kept running it. And I just don't understand. I listen,
if it takes the same lineup for twelve straight days,
(02:33:39):
fifteen straight and if you have one struggle day, that's okay,
everybody has them.
Speaker 7 (02:33:42):
You could still put.
Speaker 9 (02:33:44):
Them back in the same way if they've the majority success.
I guess you're just I think that you're probably searching
for lightning in a bottle right now. But if I
get it in one game, I'm gonna play it out
until I don't get.
Speaker 7 (02:33:55):
It the next. Does that make sense? I mean, like,
what's so much? Okay?
Speaker 8 (02:33:58):
So you faced a left yesterday. Great, But like, what's
so much of a different matchup that you take guys
out of spots that had been struggling and they finally
found some success, and then you move them again.
Speaker 9 (02:34:11):
Sometimes sometimes that's the time when analytics matter because it's evidence.
But the other part of it is sometimes you just
got to go with I don't care if it's left
to your right, here's my best players and here's my
best lineup. Let's make the pitcher come to us as
opposed to.
Speaker 7 (02:34:23):
The At a certain point, man, it's.
Speaker 9 (02:34:26):
An inconsistent hitting team. It's going to exist all year long.
You're going to have to have that. Hopefully the hitting
streak comes when it's in serious time, when you're clinching
a playoff or in a long series, or even in
a short series. We jump out and get some runs
in a three gamer if you're in one. But it's
just this is who they are this year, and you're
just going to have to live with the inconsistency and
(02:34:46):
hope that you run into a team that's having their
woes hitting the baseball when your pitching comes through as
it has.
Speaker 7 (02:34:51):
All your life.
Speaker 9 (02:34:52):
Well, hey, Joe, I mean you know the the spreadsheet
right there, says the expected batting average.
Speaker 7 (02:34:57):
Of that line up today. Their nerds, not all of them,
most of them are not okay.
Speaker 9 (02:35:02):
But I mean, you know, sometimes you know what you're saying. Yeah,
you go a little nineteen twenties radio right here telling
our stories.
Speaker 7 (02:35:08):
Sometimes I like your style. Sometimes we have the door.
Speaker 9 (02:35:10):
Sometimes you can put the piece of paper in your hand,
in your back pocket. At times, especially when it comes
to a lineup, I don't know. I just want my
best nine every day. Yeah, and pitching, you're gonna you've
been getting it the other ones. I just want to
get it and get them comfortable. And let's hope that
that streak they go on starts pretty quick. With eighteen
games to go.
Speaker 8 (02:35:27):
John on the northwest side will get you involved in
the conversation and we join them seven one three two
one two five seven ninety against seven one three two
one two five seven ninety As it is Sean Salisbury
show here Sports Talk seven ninety. But really fast, and
I mean really fast. I want to tell you about
my friends over at Centergenics. So visit number eight is
(02:35:50):
coming up today. Last week I had my six week checkup,
got the blood work drawn, all of that so when
I head over there right after the show, and they're
gonna check my numbers and show me, Hey, this is
what's going on with your te levels, this is where
your cholesterol is, all of these different types of things,
and we're going to put together a new game plan.
There's that word again, the game plan. But Centergenics and
(02:36:12):
the Loads Center have been changing lives for men across
the country for over a decade.
Speaker 7 (02:36:17):
And I mean, I've told you about it. You hear
it my voice.
Speaker 8 (02:36:20):
I'm more energetic, my mood is better, everything else is
better since I started going to see the folks over
at Centergenics and Low T Center. And I'm not getting
as tired as often. I'm not experiencing a lack of motivation.
As a matter of fact, I hit the gym almost
every single week last week, and I'm already starting off
on the right foot today right after I go to Cynergenics.
It's a physical and mental change that can happen to
(02:36:43):
your body as you get older, and you want to
be able to stave that off with TRT testosterone replacement therapy.
Speaker 7 (02:36:50):
Don't just take my word for it.
Speaker 8 (02:36:52):
I mean you probably know people who are patients of
Centergenics and Low C Center, and you're gonna hear comments
like I just told you, hey, man, my energy's up.
I feel like I did when I was in my
thirties and my twenties killing it at work, crushing the gym.
Speaker 1 (02:37:04):
Man.
Speaker 7 (02:37:04):
You know the lady huh, she's kind of liking things too.

Speaker 2 (02:38:05):
Let the celebration start war. Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk seven.
Speaker 8 (02:38:10):
Ninety John on the North swat without John on the
northwest Side real quick.
Speaker 15 (02:38:18):
Hey man doing it?
Speaker 5 (02:38:19):
Look?
Speaker 15 (02:38:19):
Man, you know Searan and Dan that game yesterday. I
wanted us to win, But man, I thought that Duram
is a good team and so Texas. I thought he
was even the match.
Speaker 4 (02:38:29):
I thought he could have win either way. You know,
the receiver that talked.
Speaker 15 (02:38:34):
To old Brownie whatever ran the ball in that smart
line back or whatever that decide instead of technically in him,
knocked the ball out his hand. You know, he made
the play, man. But what I really saw was it
being the first game. I see potential for the Texans
to play a lot better. I mean, you know, they
lost fourteen to nine. I mean I wouldn't have wanted
(02:38:56):
to beat Baltimore last night. Look how Baltimore and lost.
Speaker 7 (02:39:00):
Yeah, we'll go all right, see John, appreciate it. John.
You're right, John, They're gonna play better football. There's no doubt.
Speaker 9 (02:39:05):
You just would have liked to see him want to
know and said, oh and one because they had a chance.
One got away that they could have stole on the road.
We set our prayer for offense. That's all we can do.
It's in God's hands.
Speaker 7 (02:39:14):
Now let's go.
Speaker 8 (02:39:15):
He's Shawn Salisbury, Triple, Emanuel Elmore, Dan Matthews. Like I
said the Matt Thomas Show with Ross coming up. We
will talk to you in twenty hours.
Did okay, let's do this.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Sewn Salisbury.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
To usc trous longtime friend Shawn Salisbury.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Dan matthewscu. This is the Sean Salisbury Show, but puts.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Us Ons, Trouders, Telly Goals, Bawlersler's coming through.
Speaker 5 (00:28):
Mccollor.
Speaker 6 (00:30):
Wow the first pitch and Jeremy grounds it up the
middle and then the center for a base hit. DuPont
a round third and coming home. He will score without
a throw. Jeremy Pania with an RBI single to tie
the game at one. Paynia now with a nineteen game
on Bay Street, fourth and goal.
Speaker 7 (00:47):
The pitch on Williams hitting.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
A block, cutting in touchdown.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
They fined the games to one, and Young lines us
in the left center field. That's down for a base
hit and that's headed toward the game. Myers is over
Freeman on his way to third. He's a round third
getting the wave. The relay to the plate by Painty
is not nearly in time. Freeman scores all the way
from first on the double by Josh Young with two
out and it's two to one. Rangers Tilford end zone.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Pad touchdown cram by the Tolen.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Davis Allen.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
On the Roums go on top proper with the one
to one, and that's lifted to right and deep back
on it as Smith at the wall. He leaves and
it's gone an opposite field two run home run for
Jake Berger, his second home run of this series, and
the Rangers lead four to one. Berger goes deep for
(01:48):
the fourteenth time.
Speaker 7 (01:50):
Crowned and he's got him onnerneath.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's come by Gooplelo and some of the bass let
us in covered by the.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
Roumi first pitch round ball, left side charging young fields
as short hop throws to first, and that is the
ball game. The Houston Astros dropped two out of three
to the Texas Rangers, losing today four to two. Astros
(02:19):
lead in the ao WES is just two and a
half games over Seattle.
Speaker 8 (02:26):
Robert Ford, Kevin Harlan CBS no not, I would probably
say what's downtrodden Danny? Probably, I think probably is this morning.
Would by the way, with that we say away we
go and good morning. Here on the Shawn Salisbury Show,
I would probably say down trodden down.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
He's really a sports guy that got you that down
there a little bit, a little bit.
Speaker 8 (02:49):
I mean, overall, was a good weekend, you know, I'm
not going to take that from it. Saturday night was great.
Speaker 9 (02:54):
Well it was it your LSU Tigers kind of won.
They didn't play good.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
It was an ugly game.
Speaker 8 (02:58):
But I mean, is my good buddy Matt Moscono over
there says you learn nothing from those games. If they
beat them forty five to seven, then it's uh, oh yeah,
well you're supposed to beat them forty five to seven.
Speaker 9 (03:07):
Right exactly Saturday, I mean, the Astros lose the series.
Texans were part of groundhog Day. They looked exactly the
same as they did last year.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
It was almost like like you didn't even have an offseason.
You didn't even have a chance to be able to
like evaluate, Hey, how do we not have so many
pre snap penalties?
Speaker 7 (03:27):
Listen? Hey, how do we get off the field on
third down?
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
How do we block someone? How do we not have
self inflicted errors?
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Like all of it?
Speaker 7 (03:35):
It's crazy stuff.
Speaker 9 (03:36):
And I know there were some injuries they had to
move around, but that's that's football. But even when they
didn't have injuries, I'm telling you what, ca Cam Robinson's
gonna have trouble blocking anybody, dude that they walk them
back in. I mean can't get out of their stance.
They got, they got. We said that was a concern,
but there's no way they could be worse. At the
offensive line, I'm not sure we're red. They couldn't move
(03:58):
a pile. Nick Chubb had to work to get extra yards.
They just and why Nico Collins offensive coordinator looked it
looked a little in.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
Over his head at times. He did.
Speaker 9 (04:10):
I'm not saying it's his first time all coordinating. He
was not solid. I mean he was okay.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
Yeah, I'd probably say, yeah.
Speaker 9 (04:19):
Well, you're not gonna win many games when you do
that to yourself and have a c minus. I I
why when you got a receiver like Nico Collins, you
just can't feed him three or four times.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
You just can't.
Speaker 9 (04:29):
You've got to you got to create formations to do.
I'm not saying Nick Kaylee will be fine. I know
it's one game. I'm overreaction Sunday now as opposed to Saturdays,
where we had a couple of weeks arm share quarterback
Monday here on the show on Salisbury regular occurrence. But
I'm telling you right now, it was eerily this team.
I I the penalties got lost in the coverage a
(04:52):
couple of times they u from pre snap and post
snap and not really protecting and to injuries, moving around
not secure four and five new starters, and then had
to move it around because I got from the beginning
got hurt.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
I mean, it was they and they still had a
chance to win the game in the.
Speaker 9 (05:10):
End, which is which is crazy because the way you
looked at the way Nikua and Stafford play like you
look at that and you thought, man, they should have
scored more points, but they didn't. And field goal kickers
are maddening at times around the league, from Tampa and
Atlanta to Cleveland, I do it happened? I'm like, Sunday nights, Yes,
(05:32):
what in the Worldtimore, what are you guys doing? I mean,
if the guy just makes an extra point, We're not
even talking about Prater kicks that field goal.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
We're going to ot and you still have a chance
to win it. It's craziness.
Speaker 9 (05:43):
But the Texans, it was I know, it's one game,
but that's all we got to judge on. And they
were It was eerily similar to a team that blah offensively.
Quarterback made some good throws and then they they missed some.
They didn't run the ball real physical they did. They
didn't attack that. There was not many shots taken, which
(06:04):
was a little bothersome to me. And you can squeeze
an offense and on defense, which they're really good, we
know that, but they and they got after it. But
they still a couple of times guys running through in
the coverage that were wide open.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
It was.
Speaker 9 (06:19):
And in the Astros weekend, they they h it's it's
getting closer.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
I mean, they just continue to do what they do.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
You have Saturday night and it's oh, hey see, we
told you we're gonna hit Okay, hey calm down.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
It's one game. It's one game. And then they went
right back to what they've been. This is who they are.
Speaker 9 (06:39):
They they basically are are are an EKG machine right
now where it's you know, you get a heart beat,
a little bit of a flat line, heart beat, a
little bit of a flat line. I mean, that's pretty
much what they are. I mean, that's that's what they've
been in. Oh, by the way too, I mean, why
would you expect much change at this point?
Speaker 7 (06:57):
I don't. This is you're going to win one, two
win to lose one.
Speaker 9 (07:01):
I mean, now you just that's it was about the tone. Yeah,
I mean, that's that's pretty much how how they've been.
How about I mean Jose al Tuove.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
Where he strikes out in that one at bat, you
don't see emotion out of Hose like it's getting to him.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Now.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Well you'll see that his offensive game right.
Speaker 9 (07:19):
Now is one sixty eight over his last twenty four games.
It's if he wasn't hoseal Tuve, he wouldn't be playing.
You'd a mention, they'd be giving him the camp Smith tree.
If this wasn't Jose al Tuove, he would be a
spot player right now. If he didn't know who the
guy was and what his history is and how good
he actually is, you would his productions. But he needed
(07:41):
to be hitting in like the eight ers, seven, eight
or nine hole when you did play him, and he'd
be getting more days off than you. You'd want him
to get more days off, if you know what I mean.
That's where the production is with him offensively. Now it's
joseel two. You're going to let him work through it,
of course, but he he looks like just a guy,
and last twenty twenty five games it's been a hard watch.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Well, it's been a hard watch and the Texans offensively,
as you pointed out, another hard watch.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
And you know there's a couple of different things.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
You talked about taking a shot because really the one
that I can remember that they did, CJ. Shroud gets
picked off. I mean, don't you think a huge part
of that is he still doesn't trust his line he
can say what he wants.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
He doesn't trust those you trust him.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
No, if you trust him, no, if you don't trust
their offensive line on what they're doing from your living room,
how the hell do you drop? I mean, I know
he's practicing with him every day. And remember I've always
told you practice simulation ain't real game stuff. Brother, I
mean you can I know you won on Wonders and
you're practicing against another team. Yes, but when the season's different,
just like the playoffs are different, and just like the
(08:43):
Super Bowls different, there's different layers.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
You don't get out of that stance.
Speaker 9 (08:47):
They've running right by your ass, Dude, you're you overstep boom,
They're gonna take an inside charge, run you right back
into the quarterbacks lap. So if you from your living room,
don't trust right now that they can block many people?
What the hell do you think he's saying. Of course
he's saying that those are his boys, that's his teammates.
Of course he is that there is that, there is
(09:09):
a it's going to be a major issue if this
doesn't get changed.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
Well, and not so fast for him not throwing people
under the bus, because he didn't throw anyone individually. But
I heard something from CJ yesterday at all It was like,
oh wow, okay, we'll have that for you as a
show goes along. But I think you know, the other
thing is I mean the positive you saw him get
the ball out quickly. The negative you saw him get
(09:35):
the ball out quickly. It's incredibly easy to defend soon
enough if it's hey, we'll give up that three four
yard route right there and be able to crash down
on that guy keep it to a minimal gain. I mean,
that's that's pretty much what their offense was yesterday, is
him being able just to get get out quick shots
and try to make something happen that way. And I
(09:56):
mean that's why you scored nine points and not more.
I mean it it's the same thing all over again,
where it's oh, you know, we got to be able
to get six once we get inside the red zone. Okay,
do it, like, I mean, seriously at this point, just
do it. Find a way.
Speaker 9 (10:10):
Unfortunately, they're not finding a way at least one a man.
It's eerily similar. It was a non aggressive offense, I mean.
And what happens is if you're only going to play
horizontal football or underneath football, and that rams are a
good defense, dude, you saw that yesterday. They rally to
the football and they can get pushed in the inside
(10:31):
and they get you know, edge rushers. Is it in
order to have space to run after the catch instead
of catch and tackle, is you have to at least
take some shots to spread them out, and even early
to where they're thinking, okay, this is one of those games.
Because the longer you allow them to squeeze you and
squeeze you and squeeze you, you're in constant third down
(10:54):
situations and if you're not accurate or make plays. And
he made some great throws. He always does, but they're
just not doing it enough to put the fear in anybody.
And then you know, it took them a while to
get the run game going, and they started late in
the second half. They started to push the football a
little bit and Chubbs started to get into some rhythm,
but they are not. You don't go into a game
(11:16):
plan thinking, oh my god. At least I didn't actually
look at the game plan and think this is a
I mean, they weren't putting the fear of God in you.
And did you want to watch the game last night?
Both of those offense, Dude, they attack mode last night.
And don't tell me Detroit's not missing Ben.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
Johnson Friday night Thursday night.
Speaker 8 (11:36):
I mean we're going to talk about that too, because
you watch the four teams that I'm talking about that
took part in those games. And I mean you could
even throw the Chargers team you beat here last year.
It looks like a different football.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
Got news for you. Don't be shocked if they win
the division. And Herbert clear cut not outplayed Mahomes in
the game. All the talk about Herbert now it's one,
but your quarterback in that game was justin Herbert. And
quite frankly, that's a team that's weapons are eventually going
to catch up to them or they're lack thereof on
(12:08):
the perimeter.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
And with the Ravens speed, I mean, Josh Allen looks
like he's even better, which it was hard to find.
What a life Josh Allen's living right now. You know,
he's got the Hollywood starlet, the wedding over the off
season and probably plays one of the best games of
his career last night.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
But he seems to do it every week now. It's
getting to the point where this has become a habit.
They're really freaking good. I don't think going to this game,
I expected that many points. But offenses in that game,
we're ahead of defenses. I could sure he'll tell you that,
but you look around the league, there was some I'm
gonna tell you what. Baker Mayfield's won tough SLB man.
(12:47):
He made some clutch plays when it matters, and doesnt
Cleveland wish they had him? But you know what to dude,
Flacco gave them every chance to win. He he so
stop the Shodor Sanders should be starting in Cleveland enough
because it's ridiculous. And I'm going to tell you real quick,
just a little Russ Wilson. Russ Wilson kay is not
(13:09):
a starter in this league.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
I know. Listen, the Giants are putrid.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
They're they're Brian Davis doing somersaults, jumping up and down,
trying to give DAP away when the team gets a
first down or kicks a field goal. I know, dude,
it's unbelievable. I watched Brian said, I mean they stall
for a touchdown, but they kicked the field goal, and
he was so giddy. I'm like, there's are the expectations
kick a field goal in this league. Aaron Rodgers is
(13:36):
giving them a legitimate chance. He looked like m VP.
Aaron Rodgers didn't hers Wilson.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (13:42):
I don't usually subscribe, Okay, one game, but I've seen
enough since Russ has left Houston, he has not made
anybody better their offensive You want to talk about somebody
who can't block me, and you that their offensive line
is disgraceful as foot as I'm talking about football terms,
they're they're they're the Giants offensive line is. I don't
know how they get anything done. Secondly, Russ Wilson watches
(14:02):
the rush. He'll throw some checkdowns and that, but he doesn't.
You know, some guys elevate the room. There's no energy.
I feel like he's more cognizantive running around, playing mister motivation.
He goes up and tells everybody after They've had a
crappy ass series. Mister motivation. It's almost like the he
wants the optics to kick in. Say see, I'm not
very good at player anymore, but I do like I
can't play, but I can sure motivate. Okay, great, grab
(14:24):
a clipboard and let Jackson Dark go play. Let's get
this thing moving. Russ is a good guy, but I've
seen enough now different plays. Though Russ Wilson is not
a I can name five backups in this league that
are better than him right now on different teams.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
He can't. You can't.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
There is zero energy with the Jit says. I saw
it in Denver, I saw it in Pittsburgh. It's just
a get by. He's skittish, he doesn't. He'll make some plays,
but the consistency of it, he's just different, and he
does not elevate the room.
Speaker 7 (14:51):
He just doesn't.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
They have got to make a move that they Russ
Wilson's a backup quarterback in this league at the more
and no offense to the because I love both of them,
but Brady and his partner, well with my guy, the lead,
Kevin Brookhart, I love him, but I gotta tell you
the Russ love of the game quarterbacks sink All and
Tom and I you know I love it.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
That's because they.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Before.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
Hey man, man, I love Russ's competitives. What a half
yard game on the quarterback seat, No tell it like
it is, Russ Wilson, If you tell like it is, no,
Russ is part of the reason this team doesn't move.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
It.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
It's not personal.
Speaker 9 (15:26):
I just I watch him and I think, Okay, maybe
maybe the Giants Jackson Dart's a better quarterback than Russ Wilson.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
Is right now. Not his career, he's got a Hall
of Fame career possibility. I know right now. The energy.
Speaker 9 (15:39):
I don't know why their success, but it will look
different with somebody else. And Aaron Rodgers got them going
Burrows Burrow. I mean, it's it's it's it's gonna be
a blast to watch some of these teams play. But
I can tell you this, I don't think the Chiefs
are the best team in the AFC. I didn't think
going in now. They got Mahomes and they'll be around,
but their offense is different than it was in the
(16:00):
year's past over these last three years. But this Texans
team has got to get better. Dan They they I mean,
after what I saw yesterday, they weren't the best team
in the AFC South.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
They were not. And oh, by the way, all the
wh why are you starting Daniel Jones yesterday?
Speaker 9 (16:18):
Now he's a better player than Anthony richards Anthony Richardson's
days in Inandapois Colts may be done saying that Danie
Zones gonna be a one game but now you know
why they started him over Anthony Richardson, Because one thing
I do know is that Daniel Jones isn't going to
complete forty eight percent of his passes.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
I think the mystique has worn off of mister capri pants, Mike,
Mike McDaniels.
Speaker 9 (16:40):
Well, they're the soft, they're They're softer than then an
overstuffed crush volor seventies couch. Dude, I'm just telling you.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Sounds comfortable they are.
Speaker 9 (16:51):
Yeah, it does, but soft, that's what you There's a
major difference too.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
Instead of s O F T, that's s A w FT.
That's exact actly right. They are.
Speaker 9 (17:01):
The Miami Dolphins couldn't fight their way out of a
wet paper towel, man, if they was, if it was
around them, they the paper towled win when it comes
to a fistfight. There they're not so like and Jayden
and Daniels. As far as young quarterbacks go, you're hard
pressed to find anybody in this league better than that guy.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
It's playing good football, that's for sure. Brad John. See
you guys right there. If you want to get involved
seOne three two one two five seven ninety against someone
three two one two five seven ninety, gonna be a
ton of Texans and Astros. The show goes along, you
can get involved, and also to Steve Spark's gonna join
us at eight o'clock right here, just getting going, Monday edition,

right and now it comes out with this delicious French
onion dip. As an obsession of mine. They are delicious
as homemade dip. You can add whatever you want to be.

Speaker 5 (19:10):
I'm a diard.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Back to the Sean Salisbury show, Okay, when's the guy?
Speaker 7 (19:15):
You know?
Speaker 9 (19:16):
They talk about a team that's rolling through the lineup
nobody knows aside.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
From like Wyatt Langford and Josh Young. That's about it.
And what's the big yes Jonah him right yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Other than that, you're going through saying, I mean the
interests like who's this guy?
Speaker 7 (19:32):
Where they come from?
Speaker 8 (19:33):
You heard the first highlight on the on the montage
of it skips past Diaz, he hits him in the back.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
It's just like, good god man, It's like, what in
the world is going on here? Yeah? This uh? I'd
say we uh were headed to a three horse race
down us.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
The only thing that was missing from that play was
the music from Bad News Pairs.
Speaker 9 (19:59):
Your Not Tatum Neil no, No, she had, she had,
she had a good breaking boards and she had it
was a good run. Just been a good run for Tatum,
you know.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
Good run. And she went on the date with Kelly
Leak and worked out. Don't hate Kelly Leak's fastball. Dude.
You got Kelly Leek ain't bad, is he?
Speaker 5 (20:17):
No, he's not.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
You think he smoked any cigarettes? Just a few. They
make sure you get to every single ball out there. Yep,
Kelly Leak. So have I talked to you out of the fact,
he said, Oh, it was a great sports weekend.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
No, it was not exactly. I mean the college football
Saturday was somewhat good. The Oklahoma Michigan game was.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
But here's pretty good. He's not bad, but he also too.
I mean, now I watch for it.
Speaker 9 (20:41):
With the way quarterbacks throw, it's got a little bit
of that, sire, no doubt, and it kind of tails
on him. Then you saw more of that with Arch. Yeah, regularly, dude,
the way that game started regularly. I mean the way
that game started, I was kind of like, brother, he
might start getting booed. He's got some mechanical flaws that's
got to get fixed. And I can't believe I'm saying
(21:04):
that about a manning quarterback, right, but he's got some
mechanical arm action that is not going to allow him
to be as accurate as you need to be consistently.
He's going to make plenty of plays. But man, I'm
telling you, this is two weeks and now they won,
and they should of course, but there's some throws out
there that that he's bouncing and missing and it's simply mechanical.
(21:29):
He's not hurt, it's simply mechanical. Love him, and I
think he's going to be a good player, but man,
he's got some he's got and it's hard to fix
your mechanics during a season.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
He's got some fixing to do.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
They don't look, I mean, don't Longhorn fans don't be
offended by this. For two games in, they they don't
look like a national champion.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
They look beat.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
They do know, they look like a team that I
said that they could probably be this year, and that's
eight and four.
Speaker 9 (21:55):
Yeah, and I think they're more talented, but there's just
there's a rhythm missing right now right They just don't
look and then listen two games in, but we can't
keep staying at three and four. This is a time
like LSU's schedule, the Texan schedule, I mean not the Texans,
but the Longhorn schedule. I mean, obviously after the opener
of these early season games a chance to get yourself
(22:16):
right and maybe work on those mechanics. But they look
not a step slow in terms of speed, but in
being where they normally are. The way the urgency and
the tempo I see them play with on both sides
of the ball. It's and their defense is gonna be
really good.
Speaker 10 (22:32):
Man.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
Do you trust them to beat Oklahoma right now? Oklahoma
is a better team right now? Okay?
Speaker 9 (22:38):
Do you trust the game plan that Venables put together
for a freshman quarterback?
Speaker 7 (22:43):
They look like old school Oklahoma defensively.
Speaker 9 (22:45):
Set out another show I do, I said, going in,
I said, you keep an eye on this. These these
veteran coordinators who get a freshman quarterback that know how
to scheme them up. Now, I don't know if they're
going to make enough place because sometimes guys are just
really good players. But they were good and ma Tier
made a plays obviously to take care of there. But
do you trust them to beat Georgia at Georgia right now?
Speaker 7 (23:04):
No? Okay, Now, if you ask me, can they yes,
I'm waiting for that explosion.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
But so then, assuming you win the rest of your games,
that's a nine and three season.
Speaker 9 (23:12):
If you were judging teams by their first two weeks,
you wouldn't have him in the top five.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
Maybe not even side the top ten, honestly.
Speaker 9 (23:22):
Right so, right now Oklahoma's playing better football than they are,
so in a lot, but listen, see, I trust Sark,
I trust that they'll get it right. They just haven't looked.
I guess our expectations were number one team in the country.
Look and we haven't seen it yet. And that's part
of and I know what, five minutes he threw four touchdowns,
but you got to get going good. There's just still
(23:45):
the optics still don't look mechanically sound enough for me
to say, okay, you're you're tied. Will he make enough
throws mechanic and I couldn't root any harder for him,
But there's there's some mechanical flaws. I know you sometimes
you're not allowed to say that about royalty football royalty,
but there are some flaws about him that he's got
to get fixed.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
Let's get back into the Texans and Astros because is
offense just an issue all throughout this town. That's an
honest question. We'll try to answer it right here. Sean
Salisbury Show on a Monday Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
The Sean Salisbury Show continued, I do, I got cool,
we got we got the Koogs on in our our
family of stations, KPRC nine to fifty.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
So eat them up, Koogs. There you go.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
I like their You know how, it's almost a rite
of passage now when your school or your team wins
is to be able to gloat about it on social
media with some sort of graphic and some cutesy little
caption to go with it. And I guess Rice wore
their H Town blue jerseys in that game.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
I only saw a couple of highlights of it. Was
it an H Town takeover?
Speaker 8 (24:51):
It was by the Coogs? Yeah, I mean, if you
want to go old Tom Herman days, Yeah, sure, for sure,
that's what we called it, right, Yeah, that's what it was. Yeah,
hashtag age Town takeover.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
Yeah. And then what's it?
Speaker 9 (25:04):
The basketball is for the city, which I mean the
H for the eight for that's that's the stros. Yeah,
that's the is that this year last? No, that was
like two three years, eighteen, twenty nineteen, I think maybe
even twenty seven.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
So what if Pairland just wanted it for them.
Speaker 8 (25:19):
Because twenty eighteen was taken back Okay, what if all
the sudden parallel now twenty nineteen was I'm sorry, what.
Speaker 9 (25:23):
If Pairland just wanted it for them instead of the
whole for the Houston. What if they if paralants? So
we just want specific we want to sponsor the hashtag.
When don't we get into that where people just, you know, hey,
use this hashtag for so it's for the pair, how
would you do it for the pair trade market? For
the pair hashtag for the paraff it's Pairland. They're just hey, man,
we want to be we want that the hashtag for
(25:44):
the Ashers, for the.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
Pair, for the oil. I'm trying to laugh because you know,
it was kind of a beatdown of a It was
Sports weekend, you know, it was Locke's teed up. Yet no,
not yet. It wite about fifteen minutes. They will be though,
now they will basketball. Don't don't blake. It's about to
start to help us, Rockets.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
It's about your your only hope when it comes to offense,
because I mean, the Texans looks the same the Astros.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
I mean, it is what it is.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
At this point, there's there's no use in getting upset
about it anymore. I'm gonna try not to be disdain
dan about it anymore, just because I feel like it's
kind of played out.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
I mean, because clearly getting.
Speaker 9 (26:25):
Mads out of anything, it's gonna get fixed, right.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
Right, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
I mean jose L two is gonna continue to swing
and miss and then throw his bat down and be angry,
which as soon as I saw that, I'll I mean,
that's one of those moments like you see stuff like
that and you're like, oh wow, Okay, that guy doesn't
do that.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
Nope.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
Frustration competitiveness can bring out some crazy emotions, and it's
just been an inconsistent run for them, it really has.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
It's a tough watch, unbelievably inconsistent.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
Someone three two and two five seven ninety Brad, you're
gonna bat lead off this morning.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
Good morning, Brady, Good morning guys.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Quick the Houston teams, please put a diaper on before
you go to bed, because that's what it was this
week and no creativity with the Texans. None. It also
goes to show Sean, I know a lot of your
callers and you know this, but that preseason throw it
out the walk, don't just throw it out because these
guys tune it up. Tenfolk come come game one, and
(27:24):
I just don't understand with our rookies that we got
on the Texans. Why are we not putting anybody in
a slot? Where where?
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Where?
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Where's the mismatch. It's almost like we sit there and
watch the other team and they're killing us, either the
seam route or the slant, and then they'll run a flood,
roll them out one low, one medium, one high, give
him the option to run. I'll hang up and listen.
Love you guys, y'all stay out of trouble.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
Saying to you, Brad, appreciate buddy. I mean they had
guys in the slot. It's just I mean the Rams
use it a lot.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
More than you did.
Speaker 9 (27:57):
Here's why it's fightened. The play caller right now is
better than ours. He also taught this one, and this
is an apprenticeship going on right now.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
The first time.
Speaker 9 (28:09):
The guy, he's been a tight ends coach and a
passing game coordinator. It's gonna take Nick Cayley a minute.
He put trust in him. It's obvious that Dimico puts
trust in anybody from the McVeigh Shanahan tree because that's
who he hires. So he believes in that system and
the reason why they don't the reason why they don't
get it to the slot as much as you'd like, Well,
(28:31):
the best slot player on the planet inside or I
go it is the guy they got. Nikoup is pretty
good okay, and tough as one hundred year old leather too,
get knocked in the mouth, a blood dripping into his eye,
It didn't matter. The guy is unique football player, and
DeVante Adams is an upgrade there as well. That team's good,
mataw Stafford holds up. They're gonna they're going to win
(28:53):
the division because they although the forty nine ers when
you saw some of their flaws in their game still
too and depending on how healthy McCaffrey's going to be
throughout the year. So but I get Brad's frustration. They
just don't have anybody that can win. Nico cons can win,
but they didn't yesterday. He was just an innocent bystander,
and you need to he needs to be implemented. See,
(29:14):
I don't understand. Here's what I don't like. Kind of
goes along with what Brad said. But when I got
and I when I'm training high school kids and their
receivers will come out and play and I'll see one
that said, that's man, kid's a great route runner, and
I'll ask him where do you play? I played the
outside receiver. I said, well, do you play both inside
and outside?
Speaker 7 (29:33):
Now?
Speaker 9 (29:33):
Just just this outside? Because he's one of those kids
said I'd move him around. You know you'll run into
those kids say, hell, I'm playing him at five different
positions in high school. I don't get a ball in
his sand any way I can. I've just never understood
the concept of why a guy can't operate inside and
outside and a big fit. We've seen big physical guys
do it, like Chris Carter and and and Sterling Sharp.
(29:54):
I mean it goes on and on and they and
Niku is a physical guy. I just doing with my
best weapons. How I don't if I'm not getting them
the ball. I've always said, Okay, how do I devise
a plan to put him in a position to get
him the ball so I can create something so they
don't get the roll coverage or do it? How do
I get him whether it's motion moving him inside. You
know what, why couldn't you every now and again put
(30:15):
an Eco Collins in the slot and have that big
physical guy working on a smaller nickel or dime. And
if they put the linebacker in and they stay in
big personnel, normal personnel, guess what you do the linebacker
in the world covering that kind of space. I'm just
using that as an example, and I think Brad's frustration.
We just looked like a team that has a new offense.
(30:37):
That's what it looks like. Yet the verbiage should not
be a problem, cause it's the same. So I just
did there's one game, I know, but again, creativity has
got to expand, and I know you've got a bunch
of young receivers. That's just part and parcel to what
goes on, and you've got to you've got to protect
the quarterback or do it if that means you got
(30:58):
to max up and to give those I helped because
they looked it was groundhog Day. What I saw last
year is exactly what I saw yesterday. And it's one game,
but that's all it looked like. Just to carry over
like we just did a week off and they're back
at it. They've got to get more physical and nasty
and it's got to be a point of frustration. And
this team's too good, but not good enough to overcome
(31:19):
constant self inflicted penalties and mistakes. You can't turn over
in the red zone, you can't. You The truth is,
you kick field goals against the Rams, and field goals
are nice, and you got one of the best in
the world.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
Do it matter?
Speaker 9 (31:31):
Fifty five yard for him to layup that's like an
extra point, the old school extra point for him is amazing.
But you kick three field goals on the road against
Matt Staffords team, they're going to beat you that. They're
just You're You're not going to win many games that way.
You can do that against a team like Tennessee with
a young quarterback and beat them fifteen to three, but
(31:51):
you can't. You can't do that with that team, and
they just and in truth, it felt like the Rams
dominated the game offensively easily, but the score didn't indicate that.
But what a play, what a play at the end
to punch the ball out. He had no intention of
tackling the runner. He went for a straight fist fight. No,
(32:11):
I mean, that's legit what Nate land Man did.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
He just with his right arm, right fist to the ball,
and normally when people are moving you can't get your
fist on it. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (32:19):
You'll hit a tip of it to land it perfectly
to where you're right, where you're you're straight, right hits
the ball. Sometimes it hits and the guy made bob
lit or you hit his arm, or for a he
landed it to a perfection. Ball goes and then they
get the bounce and the same guy who caused it,
I think. I think he jumped on it too, and
I think he was recovered the football too. But in
(32:39):
a situation like that, if nothing else, you got to
secure the football. Now there was going to be time
for them to go down, even if they score a touchdown.
But you take your chances with your great defense more
than you do with your offense. Right now, if you
are the Texans, that defense is that defense. The responsibility
for them to have to play great every week is enormous.
Special agent Charles Tillman was out yesterday. I bet, by
(33:02):
the way, if you don't believe me when I call
him special agent Charles Tillman, go look it up.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
The man's an FBI agent.
Speaker 9 (33:09):
That's exactly what he's wanted to do it for a
long time. I think it's cool, though awesome. I want
to be a golf apparel salesman.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
I want to. I want to go around, and I do.
I want to. Whether it's I want to go round
and I want to, that's it. I'm going to design
mount That's all right now, nothing about it. I've been
a home thinking, okay, when I get my silk seed
and oh yeah, dude, yeah with the with the driver ring. Yeah,
I'll leave that to the guys who actually know the
technology club.
Speaker 9 (33:34):
I do though this for years. I've been going through
this clothing thing right now. It's not quite the FBI,
and I didn't get a master's degree really to think
about this, but sport management and I start to look
at golf and leisure clothing. Now we've elevated to the
point it's so much better now. But I'm telling you, dude,
you think I'm kidding, keep an eye that when you say, Sean,
what are you doing at the second shows over your home.
(33:54):
I'm grinding on this business plan of building this incredible
golf and leisure apparel that that is not too stuffy
for thirty year olds and awesome and not too well.
You're wearing, you know the picture of us at a
you know, Triple D's at the golf course when you're
(34:15):
playing it. Yeah, there's point, you know what I'm saying. Energy,
But also who doesn't want their shirt and a pairl
like Peter Malar at the Walker Cup. They played it
at Cyprus. Point US first, Great Britain and Ireland and
our kids want it. Boy, we have some young players
do the cond frigged smoke at sixteen seventeen, hit it
(34:37):
a country mile, driving greens into the fog. I mean
it was incredible to watch. But right so that I'm
into it, and that's so when Charles Tillman.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
Now fbi ate golf apparel.
Speaker 9 (34:49):
But it's kind of it's been a passion of mind
for like two decades and I'm going to finally do
it just because I think that the week we can
even look better than we do on the golf course
and in leisure.
Speaker 7 (34:59):
Just imagine able to do that.
Speaker 9 (35:00):
You show up somewhere, special agent Tillman, special agent Johnson,
be able to flip your credentials. Oh yeah, oh by
the way, that's your NFL card. No, that was my
first flex. This is an even bigger flying Yeah. Yeah,
I did play in a super Bowl, but now guess
what And I was just on the spot when the
balls around. But I can tell you this is a
this is a little more yes, yes, punch it out.
They were great at it, and you saw that obviously
(35:23):
had the late effect in the game, because if they'd
come out that with a win, you'd have been like,
somebody's living right for sure. In truth offensively and the
mistakes they made self inflicted.
Speaker 8 (35:32):
They did not deserve to win that game. Yes, the
other the way they played, what means Sean are doing.
It's a conversation. And you you can be involved at
seven one three, two, one two, five, seven ninety. You
can be like John, Trey, Chris, all of you guys
right there. You want to join them being involved, you
can do it right here.
Speaker 9 (35:48):
Sean Salisbury Show, Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
The Shawn Salisbury Show continues.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
They need to know now you know.
Speaker 7 (35:59):
It's northwest side. John, Good morning, John.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Good morning.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Guys.
Speaker 11 (36:04):
Uh Hey, the only good news for me over the
weekend was my all malatter one sixty four to nothing.
Speaker 9 (36:10):
Cool and so on a high scoring game the teams
who were supposed to win. John, he's like team's hanging
sixty and seventy on people all over.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
The place, LSU. Yeah, yeah, crazy stuff.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
You know they were playing they were they were playing Buffalo.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
I don't know who that is.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
I mean, I don't know if they played a Buffalo.
Speaker 7 (36:27):
The fight gills at one point.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (36:31):
Well, you know, if you're the coach, you just say, hey,
whatever you do, don't go up the middle.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
But you know you already place else.
Speaker 7 (36:37):
You're just fine, Yeah, what do you gots?
Speaker 11 (36:40):
But okay, so the answers would be real quick. I mean,
I've just realized that the Askers are just.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
A very mediocre team. That's all they are.
Speaker 11 (36:49):
And uh, I don't know if they'll make it into
the playoffs or not. I don't It's just everything about
them is mediocre. So that's that's all I want to
say about that. And then with the Texans, I mean, Sean,
you know, I didn't see them stretch the field one
time in that game. You know they had you know,
Nico Collins was like a non factor. I just you
know again, I am yeah, I know everybody's piling out,
(37:12):
what did I ever question to play calling in that game?
On the offense, But they just didn't utilize their their
assets very well. And uh, you know, if I was
going to pick a team. If I was going to
pick who's going to be in the super Bowl, I
know it's early, but I would pick it's going to
be green Bay versus uh, Buffalo. I think that's who's
(37:35):
going to be in the green Bay really impressed me.
I mean what they did to Detroit was was really impressive,
and they made Detroit become a one dimensional team in
that game, and they just really, uh, they really look good.
I think that, you know, with the Parsons up there,
I think that's going to be a really really strong
team this season.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
So I know, they really impressed me.
Speaker 11 (37:57):
And it's hard for me to say that because you know,
I'm a Viking, but Green Bay really impressed me.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Over the weekend.
Speaker 11 (38:03):
That's so anyways, that's all I wanted to weigh.
Speaker 7 (38:05):
In on good stuff.
Speaker 9 (38:06):
Yeah, thanks Jean with you their defense, they've got enough
playmakers to do some things, and they got a pounder
in Josh Jacobs Green Bedos. Their defense is really freaking
good man. They it is important that it's just one week.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
It is.
Speaker 9 (38:21):
But but again, like anything else, you were the Chargers
and the Chiefs tested. You wanted to see because if
it was reversed on bad teams that played good or
if the good teams won like they're supposed to, we say, oh,
it's one way that man compliment him.
Speaker 7 (38:39):
Great, But when somebody beats them like.
Speaker 9 (38:40):
The charge, well let's see it next week if the
Chiefs and I get it because the history of the
chief says, well, they don't how to win. But watching
just one game and the team they played yesterday, the
Vikings in Detroit, Detroit were season what fourteen went whatever
was or fifteen? Last year was a fourteen or fifteen someone? Yeah,
so they but I can tell you this, they missed
(39:01):
their offensive coordinator in game one. I don't know how
it's gonna turn out, but boy did they look. Did
they look pedestrian offensively? And they're not pedestrian. They got
physically manhandled, and the Jets looked like an improved football team.
They absolutely problem is Aaron Rodgers decided, Hey, I'm still
Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers emailing there. He made it personally
yesterday and it's and now Pittsburgh. Yeah, Pittsburgh's offense had
(39:24):
to carry them yesterday, which is not usually we're not
used to and they got the best quarterback they've had
since Ben Roethlisberger left the building so and throwing four
touchdowns that don't let him get early season confidence. Rogers
I'm talking about because it'll be a different look. So
I just there was some impressive moments. Kickers cost some
people yesterday. But in this team here, like I said,
(39:46):
one game and I get it, and the Rams are
a super Bowl container. They didn't get beat by Hack.
The Rams are a really good team, but it's the
optics of getting to that. They still had a chance
to win. Their defense will will will shore up a
few mistakes. I just don't know about the offensive approach.
And I ain't saying nick kid, just the overall how
to get all this right because it looked the early
(40:09):
similar to last year.
Speaker 7 (40:10):
It was Groundhog Day.
Speaker 8 (40:10):
I just I don't need the dissertation without giving me
an answer from the previous guy, Bobby Slowick, where you'd
ask him a question and two and a half minutes
later and you come back and you say, hmm, he
didn't say a single thing that actually answered my question.
Speaker 7 (40:24):
Right there, that guy every single week just standing up.
Speaker 8 (40:27):
There, oh well, you know, I mean, here's the thing,
you know, when you're when you're in second long just
just shut up and just figure out a way to
get it done. There's disdain Dan for you. You're welcome,
Chris and Jersey Village. You will get involved. You want
to join him? Seven one three two one two five,
seven ninety Also in the seven o'clock hour where the
Texans doomed before they even snapped the football yesterday one

Sewn Salisbury.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
To usc trouph longtime friend Shawn Salisbury.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Dan Matthewscus. This is the Sean Salisbury Show. Astros lose
four to two to the Rangers. They drop that series
two out of three or off the day before they
take on the Al East leading Blue Jays up in Toronto.
Speaker 8 (41:46):
Texans lose on the road to the Rams as they
have a late fumble in a Rams conversion that does
them in fourteen to nine, but Uh beats Rice in
the Baye Bucket thirty five to so all in all,
this weekend not a great Houston sports weekend. Someone three
(42:06):
two one two five seven ninety the number two get
in Christ and Jersey Village wants to wait in Chris.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
Good morning, Yeah, Hey, good morning, Dan, Thanks for getting
to me. You know, Sean, I listened to the Shawn
Salsbury Show to hear great stats, like it's really difficult.
Speaker 5 (42:21):
To win when you don't score more points.
Speaker 8 (42:24):
Than the other team.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
I mean, you know, Sean, I've got one for you
this morning, just to give back a little bit.
Speaker 10 (42:30):
That weather's night.
Speaker 5 (42:31):
I'm in a good mood.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
It's also hard to.
Speaker 5 (42:34):
Win when you have more penalties than points.
Speaker 10 (42:37):
And I'll just leave it there.
Speaker 7 (42:39):
Have a good day, all right, appreciate the call, man.
Speaker 8 (42:41):
Yeah, the Texans just day penalized eleven times in that
game for eighty yards, giving up eighty yards and trying
to overcome that and win a football game. Yet again,
it's tough to be able to live that way, and
the Texans have found out. And I think that more
than anything. What frustra rates me the most about it
is you have eight months to be able to prepare
(43:04):
for this. You haven't played a football game since last January,
and you have all of that build up, all of
that time, all of that roster turnover, which was intentional,
by the way. They did a lot of that because
they said, we've got to get some of these guys
who commit these errors.
Speaker 7 (43:18):
We got to get them out of the building. And
clearly yesterday maybe you.
Speaker 8 (43:22):
Didn't get enough guys out of the building, because it
still persists for you, speaking of the penalties to Miko
Ryans talking about that after the loss yesterday out there
in La the boneheaded penalties, they still persist.
Speaker 12 (43:35):
The penalties are it's uncalled for, right, It's all controllable
things we can control. And you know, you know, if
you stand up here, we're talking about negative play, something
about going back.
Speaker 7 (43:46):
Or is this is not what we talked about main
thing offense.
Speaker 12 (43:49):
So we wanted to stay on track, right, and we
got some unfortunate penalties that put us behind the sticks
and just put us in some really long third downs
that we were not able to manage.
Speaker 7 (44:00):
So we have to clean up the penalties, I mean.
Speaker 8 (44:03):
And it's kind of similar press conferences to what we
heard last year. I mean, we heard Damiko Ryan saying
pretty much the same thing during last season two of
nine on third down two hundred and sixty five yards
as a total offense yes day on fifty seven plays
and the Rams ran the same amount of plays. Well,
the difference is third down they got they were able
(44:23):
to stay on the field seven of thirteen for two
hundred ninety six yards. So you want to look at
what the difference was in the game yesterday, Well, therein
lies the rub.
Speaker 7 (44:33):
What about if this team was ill prepared.
Speaker 8 (44:35):
I didn't say unprepared, I said ill prepared, because if
you're unprepared, that means you didn't prepare for anything. If
you're ill prepared, you didn't prepare enough. Well CJ.
Speaker 7 (44:46):
Stroud alluded to maybe the ill word can be used
right here.
Speaker 13 (44:51):
I think we could have practiced better. I think, you know,
I love the confidence we have, but there's a I
don't know. I always say there was like a type
of mindset as I did I do enough? And I
think it's a healthy way to be because then you'll
probably do more. So I just for me, you know, preparing,
I got to do a better job. And I also
(45:12):
got to hold my guys accountable, you know, for that
one exiletly and it's the first end of the year.
We had a lot of exiety looks we did not
expect they did too, but they made the play. So
you can come with a million excuses. We got to
just be better.
Speaker 8 (45:24):
I mean, how can you not love your quarterback seeing
all of those things, taking the accountability on himself, but
also too. I mean, that's the second most important person
in that building, next to the head coach. Say it
all the time, the quarterbacks the extension of the head coach.
If he's feeling that way, if he's going out there
doing his basketball jump shots and all the warm ups
he does before the game, and in the back of
(45:45):
his mind he's seen, I don't really know if we're
ready for this, because you come off the practice field
and you're saying, yeah, don't feel too great about the
work that we put in this week.
Speaker 7 (45:55):
That's concerning. And it's also it's concerning that this is
week one, Like.
Speaker 8 (45:59):
Here's like that during week eight, week nine, when the
season is kind of grinding down on you a little
bit and you're trying to be able to find things
that will work for you. But I mean, to have
that after week one, you should be the most fired
up for this game because you haven't played anybody in
eight months. You've been beating up on each other for
the most part, and maybe a couple of joint practices
(46:20):
here and there, but aside from that, not much. So
then you finally get your chance in week one and
you're not one hundred percent ready for this that's concerning.
I mean, it's just I think that a lot of
that kind of comes back to coaching.
Speaker 7 (46:33):
I think that some of it.
Speaker 8 (46:34):
Probably comes back to some of the guys you got
leading this team because we've thought.
Speaker 7 (46:40):
That guys like c. J.
Speaker 8 (46:42):
Stroud, Will Anderson Junior, you know, even Daria Goombawalle being
named a captain. I mean, is that how much you missed?
Kill mixing right now? I mean Nick Chubb yesterday thirteen
carries in the game. I know you were behind for
much of it, but you weren't behind by that much.
You have to completely go away from it. I mean,
the Texans do run as a team for one hundred
(47:02):
and fourteen yards and you only hold the Rams to
seventy two yards, So it wasn't like they completely controlled
the line of scrimmage in that regard. It's just I mean,
it's just frustrating to see these things happen in week
one and it's the old thing. You're either coaching it
or you're allowing it to happen. You almost wonder if
the allowing it to happen is persisting way too much
(47:22):
over in that building. seOne three two, one two five
seven ninety the number to get in here on the
Seawan Salisbury Show, Cyprus.
Speaker 7 (47:29):
Andy wants to weigh in. Andy, Good morning morning, Hey
seany either he just had to step out for a second.
Speaker 4 (47:36):
Man, Oh damn, Well, I'll just say this. Look, I'm
not a Joe a spot of fan, but you can't
blame him for what them not hitting with runners of
sweating position. They I believe they're the worst team in
that area they have. Three days ago they had the
sixth best average in Major League Baseball, but they were
(47:56):
number twenty three with runners in score twenty fifth. Now
it's twenty five probably yeah, now I'll say a couple
of days ago. So it's it's it's gotten worse. It's pathetic.
And as far as the offense on the Texas, it's
real easy. Look what Daniel Jones did yesterday for the
(48:16):
coach twenty two for twenty nine two and seventy two yards.
He only had one side only one sec. But he
carried it seven times for two tds. He was he
was great. Why because the Indianapolis coach have an offensive line.
The offensive line is the issue. It is and always
(48:38):
will be. And CJ. Stroud he holds a lot too
because he holds the ball too long. He doesn't recognize
the Russians fast enough. And he's now utilizing the legs because.
Speaker 5 (48:51):
Last night Joe.
Speaker 4 (48:54):
Gosh, the quarterback for the Bills, got his name. Josh
Jos carried the ball fourteen times, only sacked once. That
tells you he gets he gets out of the pressure.
He'll he needn't get many yards, but he didn't lose
the yards. When you get sacked. CZ not good at
that at all. So until they do, and guess what,
(49:18):
it's too late to fix the offensive line. It's too late.
You gotta start. Did we see a fullback on the
field trying to help block? Was there a fullback ever
on the field last night? Yesterday?
Speaker 7 (49:29):
No? Most teams don't use a fullback now, yeah, no, they.
Speaker 4 (49:34):
Need a fullback. When your offensive line can't block, you
need a fullback because if CJ don't have time and
he doesn't and he's not getting down the field running
the ball, it's gonna be the same old, same mode
as it was last year. Not good whatsoever. Take care.
Speaker 8 (49:51):
I appreciate the call, Andy, I mean again, a lot
of that falls on whoever is in for pass pro
as a running back. Daria Goomblewalle is a guy they
count on a lot for that. I mean, Joe Mixon,
somebody else they count on a lot for that. But
I mean, you're not wrong about the offensive line, and
we knew this coming into the season. No, Laramy Tunsall,
(50:12):
you probably still didn't feel as good about this group
even though with tunsl like I said, it was the
real kind of perceived lack of urgency to get back
out onto the field for training camp and other things.
I mean, remember that last year I was gonna miss
the first couple of weeks he had he had a
minor knee operation. When did he have it last month?
(50:32):
Why did he just have it last month? Like is
this something that had been an issue for much of
the offseason. Okay, well, then get it done in April
or May and then be ready to go for training camp.
It was stuff like that, and it was also the
pre snap penalties. It frustrated you. But you don't have
him here. I mean, there's nobody on the offensive line
right now. Maybe tay Ursie is somebody that's got potential,
(50:56):
but as far as everyone else goes, I don't think
there's gonna be a single one of those guys outside
of him and Titus Howard is going to be around
here next year. Cam Robinson won't be here. I don't
know about Ingram. I mean, I don't know about really
any of the other guys. Then Jake Andrews goes down yesterday,
the guy that ended up winning the starter spot at center,
and I know that they were talking about on the broadcast. Wow,
(51:16):
Jared Patterson the backup center. It was like, No, he
was the center last year late in the season, so
they should have that continuity, at least he and CJ
working together. So look, Andy, to your point, there's no
argument for me. There's no argument from Sean Hell. There's
not even an argument from Tripolee. So offensive lines a mess,
and yesterday did not really did not give you much courage.
(51:40):
A much belief, that's the more operative term. Much belief
that it's going to really improve this season. I mean
we've said it from the beginning of the offseason. If
they're capable, then this team can be a lot better.
That wasn't capable. That was bad yesterday, and there are
other portions of that game that were bad, and that's
why you lost the game fourteen to nine when you
probably very easily should be coming out of that game
(52:01):
and us talking right now about a team winning said
football game.
Speaker 7 (52:05):
The Texans were unable.
Speaker 4 (52:06):
To do that.
Speaker 8 (52:07):
Someone three two one, two five seven ninety is the
number two get in the way that your town is perceived. Well,
somebody had something on that yesterday, and I want to
be able to share that with y'all as part of
the stakeout.
Speaker 7 (52:20):
We'll do that right here. Sewn Salisbury Show on a
Monday Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 9 (52:25):
All right, guys, I've talked to a D and M
executive and asked a simple question, because I think when
you're doing this, you want to make sure everybody feels
the same way you do about the knowledge of it
and why who's the ideal customer? Someone frustrated with luxury
card depreciation, someone trading every few years and piling up
negative equity or someone budget conscious looking to save thirty
(52:45):
to forty percent on a monthly payment.
Speaker 7 (52:47):
His answer was all three and more.
Speaker 9 (52:48):
With fifty thousand active customers, D and M Leasing has
the program for you. It's D and M Leasing Leasing
is not renting, it's the smarter option. Call seven to

This is the Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 7 (53:13):
Are you not the tang and let's just begin now at.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
Nine percent alcohol?
Speaker 4 (53:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (53:20):
Yeah, on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 7 (53:28):
All right, Sean, what are you hearing out there?
Speaker 10 (53:30):
Now?
Speaker 2 (53:31):
The Salisbury stakeout? Salsbury takeout on the Sean Salisbury Show
(53:59):
some Monday.
Speaker 8 (53:59):
Here the Stakeout Sean Salisbury Show, Sports Talks seven ninety.
Stros dropped a series of the Rangers two out of three,
lose yesterday four to two. They're in Arlington off today
before they get the Blue Jays in Toronto. The Mariners
crushed the Braves, so now that means they're only two
and a half games back of the Strows in the
West and the Rangers four games back. Texans loose at
(54:20):
the Rams fourteen to nine out there in LA all right.
So yesterday, as mentioned, me and a buddy of mine
watching all the games, and one of the games that
was on was the Jets and Steelers. That was the
game on CBS before the Texans were so a lot
of us around here. If you just stayed to the
local packages, that's what you were watching, or you were
(54:41):
watching the Giants take on the Commanders on Fox. But
one thing is you notice this, and you've been in
booths before, the b roll is a big thing. Like say,
you're playing in Cleveland, all right, so coming back from break,
you know where it's the end. You know, the NFL
on CBS is brought to you by Coca Cola, by IBM,
you know, just like all of that big voice guy.
Speaker 7 (55:03):
And they're in Cleveland.
Speaker 9 (55:04):
So they're gonna show the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame or the Cleveland Sign or whatever it is.
Speaker 7 (55:09):
They do it here in Houston.
Speaker 8 (55:10):
You know, they're coming back from break, the NFL on CBS,
and it's somebody cutting somebody right right, you know, or
Sam Houston statue or you know, I don't know, Dyke
in Park or you know, anything like that, Like they're
just they're showing the city. Like I'll never forget. Remember
Tom Hammond, the guy that used to do Notre Dame
games on.
Speaker 9 (55:31):
Ye Tom, Yeah, okay, so I thought it was Hammond
and the Tom Hammond was eight old school right, the
old school time.
Speaker 7 (55:39):
He'd been doing it forever. Yeah, it's not ham it's Hammond.
Speaker 8 (55:42):
So I remember he used to do the when the
NFL network had Thursday Night Football and they showed the
Medical Center and he goes the downtown Houston skyline. It's like,
that's not it, Tom. It's a little further that way,
but you know, it's okay. But more often than not,
I would say that, like these things, they're shown from
their perception of people who are not from that area.
(56:04):
And here's where I'm going from this. With the Jets
and Steelers game yesterday, So they come back from break
and I think they showed downtown either Newark or Hoboken
or somewhere like that.
Speaker 7 (56:17):
Oh, Buken, next up, it's trained stop Hoboken. There you go. Yeah,
you always liked the Hocusken. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (56:24):
I always remember when we were in Boston and I
seemingly always had the same tea conductor because it was
the same voice every single time, next to up Ken
Moa after that finway, which, by the way, if you
ever take the tea to the Red Sox game, you
get off at Ken Moore, yes, instead of the other one.
Speaker 7 (56:41):
Right right, yeah, you go over the bridge. All that
kind of stuff.
Speaker 8 (56:43):
Well, anyway, during the broadcast, just say they show the
b roll of Jersey. So Iron Eagle, being a proud
Jersey guy, goes, We're not going to be the crew
that pretends we're in New York when we're in New Jersey.
We're going to show you New Jersey.
Speaker 7 (56:58):
I like it. So I was like, okay, there you go.
Speaker 8 (57:00):
Because a lot of people, you know, with it being
Jersey always gets forgotten about, like you know, it's it's
always if you're from that area. Oh you're from the city.
Well no, I'm forty five minutes outside of it. Yeah,
and I live in Jersey, Like I'm from Jersey. That's
that's where I'm from. I mean it's kind of a
little bit, you know, same deal with South Jersey with Philly,
(57:22):
where it's oh you're from Philly. No, no, no, no,
I'm from South Jersey. Just on the other side from Philly.
But it is easier just to say, you know Philly.
I mean, it's kind of like people around here, Like
it cracked me up when I lived in Atlanta and
I'd see somebody wearing an Astros hat or something.
Speaker 7 (57:36):
Oh you from Houston. Oh cool? What part Houston? The
first question? What part?
Speaker 8 (57:42):
Because yeah, like most of us, if you know the areas,
you know, if you're from that area, like in Atlanta,
for example, where are you from? I'm from Brookhaven, you know,
from Dunwoodie, you know, anywhere like that here where you're
from not Katie Paarland, you know, Baytown, something like that.
Speaker 7 (58:00):
Like that's we all know that.
Speaker 8 (58:02):
But what also cracks me up with it is like, say,
for a Texan scheme, and sure, as you're born, they're
going to do it this year. They absolutely will. They're
gonna come back from break and they're gonna show like
calf roping or something like that, or some sort of like.
Speaker 7 (58:16):
Rodeo thing of you know, well we're in Texas.
Speaker 9 (58:19):
It's like that's a no brainer. Okay, I'm waiting for
the where it's Houston. They're showing the Beaumont area from Houston. No,
I'm from Beaumont right there? Where are you from Beaumont?
Speaker 7 (58:32):
From Houston? Why are they showing the San Antonio Riverwalk?
It's two and a half hours away.
Speaker 9 (58:36):
So you're telling me if I'm from Lake Charles, I'm
from New Orleans, from Lake Charles.
Speaker 7 (58:40):
Okay, here'son. It's true. I'll tell you the best in
the world.
Speaker 9 (58:43):
That is though, because I think that he keeps a
log of every mile in every hotel he's ever stayed in.
Is al Michaels. He used to every place he'd go
certain thing. I think he had a log or a
book or some keep a journal over his whole travel career. Now,
if you want to know, you know who knows more
about Houston than some Houstonians. Al Michaels. He knows more
(59:07):
about Buffalo than people from Buffalo. I mean, he'll get
it right down to yeah, and the shower is wrapped
in and it's wrapped instead of in the plastic, it's
it's wrapped where it's like a little upgraded. I mean,
al knows your venue and you get him to La
or San Francisco. Dude, he can tell you where every
Speca sand is. I mean that dude, talk about well travel.
(59:27):
But he's the one that won't make the mistake. He
won't say if you're from Boma that you're from Houston,
you actually from from Boma. Right, So yeah, I get
what you're saying. Oh, there's no doubt the cliche rodeo.
What else are they going to show.
Speaker 1 (59:45):
Here?
Speaker 8 (59:46):
Like I said, brisket, Oh yeah, barbecue, it's it's without
fail every of course there you go. Yeah, and then
maybe show a couple of fans in the stands that
happen to be wearing a cowboy hat.
Speaker 7 (59:57):
Oh yeah, you know, and be like, oh, hey see
we're in shot will be the live shot.
Speaker 9 (01:00:00):
They'll get out of the b roll fhill, the live
shot coming in and they'll be cowboy. Had a couple
sitting there, like really dressed up face paint with the cowy.
Oh there's a face paint. The cowboy hat is what
we called for. And they'll say something about that. Oh,
by the way, one of the better for best rodeos. Bam, great,
some great musicians from here, right at first and ten and.
Speaker 7 (01:00:19):
Right, no doubt. Yeah, I'm trying to think.
Speaker 8 (01:00:21):
I mean, maybe every once in a while, you know,
show Rice Stadium President Kennedy gave a speech there. Then
the next day, well we won't talk about that part,
but he gave the speech there about going to the moon.
Speaker 7 (01:00:32):
Why do we go to the moon? We go to
the moon because it's hot. Yeah, speaking of Northeast Boston,
guy ac there you go.
Speaker 8 (01:00:40):
But no, it's just I saw that yesterday and I
heard that from Iron Eagle, and I was like, good
on you man, because I.
Speaker 7 (01:00:46):
Mean, there's still the New York Neck of the Woods.
Speaker 8 (01:00:49):
Well there's that, but there's still the New York Jets
and Giants because the Giants used to play at Yankee
Stadium and the Jets used to play at Shay Stadium,
so they were in New York. But now, I mean,
you know, it's not like you can just say, all right, hey,
all of a sudden, boys, you're now the New Jersey
Giants and the New Jersey Jets.
Speaker 7 (01:01:06):
It's like the Anaheim Angels.
Speaker 9 (01:01:08):
Do you know any times they've changed the name California Angels,
Los Angeles Angels and Anaheim. They play in Anaheim, right,
so they're or the Orange County there. I mean, it's
just the Dodgers have this.
Speaker 8 (01:01:19):
It's basically be like if there was an MLB team here,
but they were playing in like Clear Lake, right, That's
that's really what that is there.
Speaker 7 (01:01:27):
You go, that's that's exactly what that is.
Speaker 9 (01:01:30):
So it's just now the San Diego and La Chargers
are different because they're not alone.
Speaker 7 (01:01:35):
They're no longer in San Diego. You can show me.
Speaker 9 (01:01:38):
Pictures of Jack Murphy Stadium Qualcom, but they don't play
there anymore exactly, but you can show the empty parking
lot whatever's being built there.
Speaker 7 (01:01:45):
So, yeah, that.
Speaker 8 (01:01:47):
Beautiful Pacific Beach that's in San Diego, Yes, two hours away,
but hey, you do you get up to Manhattan Beach.
It's not too far from you. It's like one of
those things when you get older and you know, your
parents start sharing things with you that you didn't know
when you were a kid. I remember when me and
my brother went out for the Holiday Bowl one year,
we went to Pacific Beach. My mom goes, go to
(01:02:08):
the World War two gunner positions. We're like, why she
goes We used to party there. I was like, oh, okay,
let's go, let's go party.
Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:02:14):
She was like she's like, we used to party there,
and then you know, some people would get some liquid
courage and jump off the Gunner position into the Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 7 (01:02:22):
There you go some really there's some historic stuff down there.
But i'll tell you what. Pebright right around now, it's
it's awesome. Is there ever a bad time where that
time of year?
Speaker 9 (01:02:34):
Yeah, that's my bad. It'll be like that in January too,
So whatever.
Speaker 7 (01:02:38):
It's like, I remember we passed a home. It's guy,
this is terrible.
Speaker 9 (01:02:43):
One of my brother's friends that was with us and goes, well,
there's gonna be a place to be homeless. I guess
this would be it. I'm like, yeah, it's one way
to look at it. It's like another buddy of mine.
Speaker 8 (01:02:54):
And it was really it was one of those cold
snaps that came through and somebody said, ah, you know,
freezing temperatures. He goes, yeah, it's a really bad time
to be homeless. It's like, is there ever a good time?
Speaker 9 (01:03:05):
No, there's no gain to play on wars. Yeah, there's
never a good time. But yeah, you're not going to
get in too much extreme other than extreme good weather.
You're not getting too much extreme there. So if you're
going to mean you you can survive the heat and
the winter times. If there is such a thing in
San Diego, California. He goes, what's it fluctuate four degrees? Oh,
(01:03:26):
it's seventy five to day. Yeah, you know, oh yeah,
you gotta have a hooded sweatshirt and stuff. There's no doubt,
just like Inland, in San Diego it'll get it'll get
up to one hundred plus degrees, but for the most part,
there should be much.
Speaker 7 (01:03:39):
Don't complain about the San Diego Way.
Speaker 8 (01:03:40):
See that was I remember that too because my brother
when he played for Rice the year that he was there,
that was the sixty three home run Lance Berkman season,
and we were staying in Tory Pines. We were staying
in La Joya, So I mean you had to do
hooded sweatshirts, you know, all that kind of stuff. And
then you go over to San Diego State, which was
more inland, and I mean you're sweating your you know what's.
Speaker 9 (01:04:03):
Because it was one hundred degrees and it's not even
that far away, right for me from the coming you
come out of San Diego State, you hop on there.
In fifteen minutes, you're sitting in Mission Beach from San
Diego or on the right there in Old Town. You know,
you just hop on a highway eight and you're there.
Yet the temperature the change from the ocean the marine
layer to inland. And asked Candido, it got hot, but
(01:04:23):
it didn't take long to get to the beach, and
she went, We went.
Speaker 7 (01:04:25):
And at your guys place. While we were there, we
went and Nate at Old Seals.
Speaker 9 (01:04:31):
So, yeah, I remember that tru sim Yeah, that was
a popping restaurant back in the day in bar to
go to when when when I was playing there and
when Junior had that thing going on, it was the
place to be in in the Mission valley right there.
Just if I got those six numbers right this weekend, yeah,
somebody did, yeah, and somebody here did Yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:04:49):
In Missouri City or was it Missouri Texas.
Speaker 4 (01:04:51):
Is what they called it.
Speaker 8 (01:04:52):
Uh, it's probably Missouri City. I mean again, you know,
people not knowing the area and just being like, oh,
Missouri Texas.
Speaker 9 (01:04:59):
No Missouri, right, So when they said that, I'm like, Missouri.
I don't know where that's a but I know where
Missouri is. It looks like a nearby town from where
my mom was born. My Cocoada, Iowa.
Speaker 8 (01:05:08):
There's a Wyoming, Iowa, and one of her ants lives
in Wyoming, Iowa. So back in the days when you
used to have to dial information to get someone's phone number. Yeah,
and then they, uh, the operator connected her to somebody
in Vermont and she was like, no, I wasn't calling
you in Vermont.
Speaker 9 (01:05:24):
So yeah, the old school days. Yeah, you gotta you
gotta remember those, no doubt about it.
Speaker 7 (01:05:30):
But we're a city. This moving closer.
Speaker 9 (01:05:32):
Power ball is moving closer to GOT one ones you know,
told it a couple of towns over now.
Speaker 7 (01:05:37):
Look, man, all I needed was just you know, four
more numbers, right, and I would have shown the Mega
kicks in tonight or tomorrow night. Yeah, that's that's true.
Is it about four hundred mils? Okay?
Speaker 8 (01:05:49):
I mean yeah, I'd still show up. But again, as
I've told you numerous times, you wouldn't know, well as
much as I could tell you wouldn't know.
Speaker 7 (01:05:56):
But I would show signs, celebrate in silence, but show scignce. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:05:59):
I don't blame Yeah, man, look at this Rich Carlton
like breakfast spread we got in here, Dan, you provided this.
Speaker 7 (01:06:06):
Yeah, I got a buddy of mine. What can I say?
What can I say?
Speaker 8 (01:06:10):
You got a got an omelet guy right there. Not
too much oil, all right, trying to watch the cholesterol.
Speaker 9 (01:06:16):
Sean, how'd you find your business? Well, Dan gave me
two hundred million dollars. There you go, there you go.
Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
Go.
Speaker 7 (01:06:21):
Yeah, nice, Right now, I'm just you know, rich uncle
just happened to have it, so I was. I was
always his favorite nephew. What can I say?
Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
What you do?
Speaker 7 (01:06:29):
That's it. Somebody's got to spend it.
Speaker 9 (01:06:30):
Hey, look, I mean, you don't apologize for the circumstances.
You make the best of what you got, and you
become a you can become a truck, not a trailer.
Speaker 7 (01:06:36):
That's it. Bring people along with that's it.
Speaker 8 (01:06:38):
As Denzel said, followers who's following you? Great great movie
on Apple TV highest to the lowest. That's good stuff.
But me and Sean have a dynamic on this show
that over the weekend it came into play. We'll discuss
that here. It is a Shawn Salisbury show, Sports Talk
seven ninety.
Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
Shawn Salsbury.
Speaker 8 (01:07:00):
You'll continue, all right, So, Sean, I think this happened
Friday while me and you are on the show. But
then over the weekend you've got people reacting to Ryan
Clark where he and Peter Schrager kind of get into
it a little bit on one of the shows.
Speaker 7 (01:07:18):
I don't know if it was Get Up, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 8 (01:07:19):
It was one of the talking head shows, and Ryan
Clark tries to hit him with the age old, well,
you didn't play, so you.
Speaker 7 (01:07:25):
Don't know, even said at harsh like basically shut up
and let the guys in this room to paraface, basically
telling him that the thing that you just can't say right,
it's a I mean, I guess you can if you're
an idiot, Okay, but I'm team Schreger. On this team.
Speaker 9 (01:07:43):
Matter of fact, i'd much rather hear Peter Schreger talk
that I would listen to Ryan Clark spew the stuff
he spews if there's not an undertone, and we know
what the undertone is with him every single time, and
if it's not that, it's the he's got his agenda
on guys he likes and guys he does. It's not
even fair analysis. The things he's says are Listen. I
used to watch it, and I don't talk about other broadcasters.
(01:08:05):
I know how tough the job is, and it's a
lot tougher if if you got an angle and an
agenda in your mind all the time.
Speaker 8 (01:08:11):
It's also too you can me and you doing this
business long enough, you know who's prepared and who's not.
Speaker 9 (01:08:17):
Right, and it gets to the point for me where
you can become a bad teammate. Okay, and good player,
smart guy and knows a lot about sports, but his
presentation is atrocious. Right now, he's to me, he's insufferable, unwatchable,
and is I I don't think it's well thought out conversation.
(01:08:41):
I think that a lot of would say that about
many and he should have done that. Begger, Peter Scheger
was wrong. Well, the you know, not well thought out thing.
Speaker 8 (01:08:48):
I think in the case, it's that he's thinking too
much because I think somewhere along the way he listened
to bad advice. And the bad advice is, oh, you
need to be more edgy, you need to say things,
is you need to do all of this. Because when
Ryan Clark first started, it was really good. Absolutely like
SVP would have him on breaking Down.
Speaker 7 (01:09:07):
He was really good. Where I'm like this guy in the.
Speaker 8 (01:09:10):
Narrative because that's exactly what it was, is that somebody
told him that only take you so far.
Speaker 7 (01:09:15):
You've got to be edgy. You've got to say that.
Somebody responds he's got rabbity.
Speaker 9 (01:09:20):
Then he responds to them and gives they head to
look into the camera and furrows his brow like he's
given deep thoughts, like he's just dude, it's sports, right, Yes,
it's sports, and you are one hundred percent wrong not
you him to look at a guy who's been well
respected across football world because he didn't play, But listening
(01:09:40):
to Ryan Clark in some of his comments would make
me think he didn't play, that he forgot what that
was like, Like I said, it's not the personal. He
seems like a good enough guy and I liked him
when he came in, but it's completely shifted. I don't
know if it's fact that now that he's been recognized,
he's on every show and the rest of it because
he's not he's he's a bright guy and but he's
(01:10:03):
it's like he's trying to do this. But in the process,
you start losing credibility. You start saying that to people
because your fan base are people who mostly didn't play
but listen and watch and study and are counting on
you to take him to a place. Maybe they haven't
been able to go but to be condescending and throwing
his face while he's sitting on the same set and
he's a grown ass man, and your company recruited him
to upgrade that show. Yeah, that's why Peter Schreger is there, right, Okay,
(01:10:28):
so that so recognize at some point in time that
that people are there to help. And I don't know
what happened, I said, it's not personally. I don't know
him personally other than through sports, but I've never sat
down had a conversation. But I can tell you what
it's becoming. To the point when he comes on to talk,
I got to mute it. I can't and I don't,
and mine are from clips. I don't even watch the
(01:10:48):
whole I haven't watched the whole show on that network
or since I allow in twenty years.
Speaker 7 (01:10:54):
Eighteen years.
Speaker 9 (01:10:55):
Outside of Game Day and games you're got live events.
Different story now I'm talking about stud udio shows. Yeah,
it's been a minute.
Speaker 7 (01:11:01):
I haven't watched a full Sports Center ever since I left.
And it's just because then as it's gone on, you've
lost They tried to get so cute that they've lost
what their substance was all about before I had the
schedule of them. But that's it.
Speaker 8 (01:11:14):
Yeah, But before I had the schedule that I have now,
I would watch SVP after Monday night football. He's an
easy watch, that's right, because more than anything, I just
wanted to see bad beats because it always cracks me
up to him at Stanford, Steve. Yeah, but I mean
outside of that, just a regular run of the mill
sports Center. Now it's not even sports center, you know
college football. Hey, let's bring on Paul Finebaum. Oh great, okay, fine,
(01:11:36):
Like just the scene run of the middle, ste what
made him great?
Speaker 4 (01:11:39):
Right?
Speaker 9 (01:11:39):
And then personalities and fun. It's just there's always something
and it's getting to the point. I mean what you're saying.
Stuff you say, come on, dude, you do not like, yeah,
you don't believe he was just being disingenuous and with
the things he says at times. And then to look
at Peter Schrager say, basically, leave it to the football
people in this room. Yeah, some of the things you say,
(01:12:01):
most of the football people are looking at you like,
this guy's out of his frigging mom.
Speaker 8 (01:12:04):
I mean it's like also too then you look at
him for Peter Schrager and say, this guy's been covering
the league for over twenty years, Like I think he
knows enough of what you're talking about. He's not getting
up with a y, he hasn't been in the meeting rooms.
He wasn't running sprints with you and doing all of that.
We get all of that.
Speaker 7 (01:12:20):
That's fine.
Speaker 9 (01:12:21):
He talks to enough people and studies enough football that
he is entirely he said on the set, making the
same money you are. Parent he might be making more
judging from the fact they wouldn't recruited him and contract
timing matters exactly.
Speaker 7 (01:12:31):
Who the heck knows.
Speaker 9 (01:12:32):
But the point is is that I don't know why
we're getting to a point with some of these guys
that you just can't keep it to good solid Teach
me something and give me a strong opinion, but not
an opinion that you know you don't believe. I don't
know how you back your opinion up if you don't.
I mean that can be us some people, but I
going off there. The last thing you want to lose
(01:12:52):
in that situation is the credibility of saying it. Now
you've painted yourself into well, it's hard to overcome that
from a teammate. You know what I'm saying where you
come back say because that's how he feels. But that
comment is exactly I feels that, why is this guy
talking While the rest of it is actually a genuine moment,
she's just kind of like, Okay, fine, right, so just
admit it, ride with it, and admit that you don't
(01:13:13):
think people that didn't play football have it should have
a conversation. So are we supposed to listen to Ryan
Clark's conversation about basketball told you right there and then
or conversation about baseball, which I never hear their conversation
about that. But if if he does, so, if somebody
supposed say, dude, sit this one out on your podcast,
(01:13:36):
sit this one out because you watch basketball like the
rest of us, but she didn't play it at the NBA,
you can't talk it.
Speaker 8 (01:13:42):
That's the most absurd thing in the world. He decided
to be an overtweeter this weekend. He was tweeting about
quarterbacks and you want to talk about dunks, dude, rim rockers, dude.
I'm telling you right now, that's what he does. He'll
he'll tell you something, then he'll see the backlash and
then he'll go on and it's and you're you're you
buddy over it from Baylor. That plays as a broadcast
that those two fight back and forth does the same thing,
(01:14:05):
or they'll do it.
Speaker 9 (01:14:06):
They'll say something and then they'll say, man, you know what, Listen,
how in the world did Shadeur Sanders not beat out
Dylan Gabriel? He didn't get the right thing sitting with
his wife, and then all of a sudden he'll come
back the next day say, man, I did Dylan Gabriel
got that second job because he's a good decision. It's like, dude,
after you saw the backlash room, everybody saying, just ride
with the fact.
Speaker 7 (01:14:26):
That you liked Chadeur more than Dylan Gabril. That's fine.
But then then they start the overtweet, so you want
everybody to start saying, oh, man, he believes and admitted
he made a mistake or admitted that he's just going
with this. I don't care if it's a mistake or not.
If it's your real feelings.
Speaker 5 (01:14:39):
Just.
Speaker 7 (01:14:42):
Deal with it.
Speaker 9 (01:14:43):
And if you if you can't, this business isn't for you.
That's exactly right. So for me, I don't get why
did it's not that you just don't do it. But
when they start overtweeting, you know, damn will rabbit ears galore,
they're here and say, well, oh, now I got to
talk more aboutquarterbacks because I said this about Brady Breeze
and Manning, or now I got to talk more about Arching.
(01:15:05):
I'll tell you what's coming the first time Arch has
a monster game. Now that looks because he's already probably
offended the Manning family four hundred times, right, which is fine.
Speaker 7 (01:15:14):
It's okay, of course they will. They don't care. They're
not paying until there you go. They're already over.
Speaker 9 (01:15:19):
So, but I guarantee Peyton Manning or or Patrick Mahomes
isn't going to Peter Schrager and saying, hey, man, don't
talk about football.
Speaker 8 (01:15:27):
Somebody, somebody did put together and and and we'll take
it the break on this because somebody did put together
a montage of those quarterbacks that he said were not
generational cooking Ryan Clark Well, Brady Manning.
Speaker 7 (01:15:41):
Self inflicted mistakes on a Sunday.
Speaker 13 (01:15:43):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 9 (01:15:43):
That's there's quite a few of those. You gave up
a few home runs to those guys. Let's just say it.
Speaker 7 (01:15:48):
Yeah, he's leading the league and give it up home runs.
Speaker 9 (01:15:51):
I think one of my favorites was Patrick Peterson after
they played against the Falcons once and he had talked,
I think in the past about walking down Julio Jones
and Julio Jones it's got him for a deep touchdown.
Speaker 7 (01:16:01):
And I love this line.
Speaker 9 (01:16:02):
He goes, hey, saw young Award winners give up home
runs too. That's a great line. It's the truth. Yeah,
as do Hall of Fame corners. They have no touchdowns,
but they get you too. So I just like I say,
it's not Costler. Patrick Peterson is too berry and loves it.
I just get to a point where sometimes I think, Man,
if you don't believe it, why are you trying to
sell it on us, And to tell a guy on
the set that's getting paid in a teammate that basically
(01:16:25):
shut up because you're these are the football guys right here. Uh,
that's you've crossed the line of being a good teammate
and that was wrong. Well, a former teammates might have
had the best dunk of all. And I cannot wait
to share this with you guys.
Speaker 7 (01:16:39):
We'll do that.
Speaker 9 (01:16:39):
It is a Sean Salisbury show here on a Monday
Sports Talks seven ninety. And it also is my guy,
doctor Jeff wits It vision Guy, my vision doctor, my
eye care doctor, my.
Speaker 7 (01:16:50):
Lasik procedure guy.
Speaker 9 (01:16:52):
Best in the business seven one, three, three six, five,
nine nine nine for a free consultation won three three, six,
five nine, seven nine nine. If you just want ie care,
he's your guy. If you want lasik, one of the
best and foremost Lasik procedure doctors in the country, he's
your guy. If you're looking for that comfort of walk
(01:17:13):
me through it because I'm a little nervous. Is it invasive?
The answer is no, wasn't on the table long draw.
You're go in there, take care of it, and then
the I care after was spot on. There's never a doctor,
I don't care, whether it's knee or anywhere else that
I felt is comfortable when it comes to something that's rotten.
You know, you got two eyes, hopefully, and so accordingly
you got to treat them right. And there's never never
(01:17:35):
anybody that, at no time if I felt uncomfortable, thinking, man,
this is going to be more invasive, and do I trust?
He's the most trust that I've ever been around in
any part of a whether it's a surgery on your
knee or anywhere else, or back surgery. When it comes
to my eyes, I would trust nobody but doctor Jeff
Witson the best in the business. And I've sent buddies
to him and they say the same thing. Talk to
(01:17:55):
people who've used him. You get that free consultation. Why
not use it? So where you have the payment plan.
If you're thinking about lasik, what are you waiting on?
Non invasive won't be on the table long And man,
will you be greatful you didn't probably say like I did,
should have done it sooner. Clear vision. Wipe away that film,
doctor Jeff Litz, it's your man. Wits it vision dot com.
Wits it vision dot com. The Sean Salisbury Show continued,
(01:18:23):
and uh, you know they threw to him. I think
it was kind of like a whip around there at
the beginning of Game Day Live, which is the NFL
Networks pregame show, and he said a special shout out
to the non players today. We see you, we respect
you on our set and on several others. You know
what that's from too, because he and Shrigs were boys
on the Oh yeah, the show. Well we should that
(01:18:45):
we have on in.
Speaker 8 (01:18:46):
Studio right now at what's it? Good Morning Football? Yeah,
they were boys on that show, so you know that
Brandt was. He was fired up for that one to say, Okay, fine,
you want to come after my guy, Well, guess what,
I'll win the chorus here and I'm going to jump
in on you.
Speaker 7 (01:19:03):
He should be protecting his teammate.
Speaker 9 (01:19:05):
He should, and as former teammate, but his buddy because
he knows and Brand's been around a lot of football too.
They get it, you do, and you've lost the argument
once you got a great point by you, Once you
play that card as a broadcaster, then you have completely
from the podcast you do to everything else. So we
are supposed to not pay attention to you when you're
talking about anything other than cornerback play defensive backfield play. No,
(01:19:29):
it's not wouldn't be fair to him either, because you
can learn a lot about a lot of stuff without
having played it.
Speaker 8 (01:19:33):
It doesn't take a post doctor for our audience to
figure out that you know more football than I do
because you played it.
Speaker 9 (01:19:40):
You you did it fascinations that you wouldn't know because
you weren't under center. I get it, but you still
know football, right, Big difference exactly.
Speaker 8 (01:19:48):
But I just also know that too that you're not
because what he tried to do right there is he
tried to do it as a shutdown of I can't
talk anymore. So honestly, what Schragger should have done at
that point should have just taken the love mic off have.
Speaker 7 (01:20:00):
Been like, Okay, see you guys later, talk to you
all later.
Speaker 8 (01:20:04):
Why don't you guys carry the conversation now, you know,
and be able to take us to break and do
all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 7 (01:20:09):
Please please, yeah, you know what you know. Would have
been great too.
Speaker 9 (01:20:13):
If the guys on a set football players would have said,
I'll come on, I don't know, I couldn't remember that.
That should have happened they that guy that was there,
they should have stepped U sayd ow, come on, man,
this day there's a lot about playing. You can't you
can't just let that head because you know what it
tells me. If you're Peter Schreger, then what would the
other Why didn't the other guys say no, no, no,
come on man. You can absolutely talk in no sports
without having played that position and have an opinion of
(01:20:35):
something that if you watch it and constantly watch it
you form an opinion over it. Now, if you say,
if if he gets to Peter Schager, well, when I
was under center in the NFL, well you want under
center in the NFL. That then you can have that argument.
But he sees it from a different perspective doesn't mean
it's a better perspective. And quite frankly, judging from some
of the things I've heard, the perspective the guy who
the Ryan Clark's given is at times, uh a little
(01:20:58):
wacko okay, And and a lot of people are rolling
their eyes at the stuff I'm talking about. Guys that
are sitting next to him. Okay, we're like what so
they should have come to jumped on it. For Peter
Shregger said, come on, man, it's it's embarrassing. Embarrass you
up there too. Yes, it embarrasses him. He loses the
argument immediately, but it also diminishes and shrinks the talent
(01:21:19):
on the set.
Speaker 7 (01:21:20):
If you didn't defend, if you defended what Peter.
Speaker 9 (01:21:23):
Shreger shouldn't shouldn't be watching this show. That's exactly what
he said, right, or don't put it on air. You're
putting a bunch of people on then then those guys
should never be able to talk to any other sport
if that's the approach by the group. Peter Schreger wouldn't
have done that to him, right and he or a fan.
You got to be better and as a teammate, because
now you've just basically tried to, in no uncertain terms,
(01:21:44):
shrink and diminished Peter Schreger's football knowledge because he didn't
play corner for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 7 (01:21:50):
It's ridiculous. But we'll leave it there for now.
Speaker 8 (01:21:53):
Pick it back up if you want to get in
someone three two one, two five, seven ninety. We're leaving
it there because, well, we want to pick up our spirit.
Let's talk with our good buddy Steve Sparks. We do
it every Monday at this time, and we'll do it
right here. Shawn Salisbury Show, Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2 (01:22:08):
Kb E Houston, ADHD two Houston, an iHeart radio station,
the Astros.
Speaker 14 (01:22:15):
The Rockets, Rockets Basketball, your home for your home teams.
This is Sports Talk seven ninety from the Parsons that
Matchine Next Studios, Sabby Houston.
Speaker 1 (01:22:32):
Okay, let's do this.
Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
Sean Salisbury.
Speaker 3 (01:22:37):
To USC Troupes, longtime friend. Shawn Salisbury Dan Matthews.
Speaker 8 (01:22:42):
This is the Sean Salisbury Show, Sparky one part. In
that game, you've got jose Al tove up the plates.
I think he had a runner around. I'm trying to
remember exactly what the situation was, but it was the
reaction of Al two a after he's strikes out, slams
his bat down.
Speaker 7 (01:23:02):
You don't see that a lot out of him.
Speaker 8 (01:23:04):
Is this just kind of the frustration for him is
really mounting And that was one of the rare boil
up moments.
Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1 (01:23:14):
You know that the offense was pretty inconsistent in Arlington.
Speaker 10 (01:23:18):
They certainly pitched well enough to win all three of
those games, and they did scratch a claw and they
beat de Gram, one of the best pitchers in baseball.
But for whatever reason, yesterday just felt like they weren't
able to get any tracks and swinging it pitches out
of the strike zone. It's been a big problem, part
of the problem. But it's kind of a jackal and
(01:23:38):
hide season so far for this Astros offense.
Speaker 1 (01:23:41):
Right now. They're going through a little ull.
Speaker 7 (01:23:43):
Steve is just as simple as that.
Speaker 9 (01:23:45):
This late into the season, people can get on streaks
wins and you know, winning and losing streaks, But this
is who they are, and you just got to hope
they get hot at the right time. Come now in postseason. Correct,
I mean to be able to deal through the inconsistencies.
That'll be the brilliance in this team. Be able to
continue to stay resilient and find ways to get that
three or four game winning streak in a seven game
(01:24:05):
series or late in the season when you got to
be to Seattle or a Texas Rangers team to get in.
Speaker 7 (01:24:10):
That's about who they are this year. Correct at the
plate especially, I agree, and at their best.
Speaker 10 (01:24:15):
I think they can score, but there's been too many
times this year where they've just gone away.
Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
I think right now you start to recognize, all right,
Jordan's our guy.
Speaker 10 (01:24:25):
What do we do to get guys on base where
the other team has to pitch to him? I mean,
this is what it's going to center around right now.
And we'll see some other players with san Chaz and
Walker and some guys Papya from time to time, but
right now it's centered around Jordon. The other team has
these circled they don't want to pitch to him. You
got to try to figure out out a way to
get somebody on base where.
Speaker 1 (01:24:45):
They have to stan.
Speaker 10 (01:24:47):
I think right now, I think that's what the Astros
have to have to do as far as lineup construction.
Speaker 9 (01:24:53):
Steve, what's the most and it's not even the critical
or complimentary, is what is the most baffling thing, aside
from injuries that you've witnessed watching this team for one
hundred and forty plus.
Speaker 10 (01:25:04):
Games this year, I think it's almost baseball as a
whole that I just don't see guys move around in
the batter's box.
Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
And that was the first thing that just popped.
Speaker 10 (01:25:12):
Into my mind when you ask that question, is you know,
you get a guy that throws a lot of cutters
and pitches like that, why not just get on the
dish and take that away from him, make him do
something uncomfortable. But guys just don't do that anymore, and
I'm not sure why. I think guys just want to
get off their their A swings, but they don't want
to adjust and make movements in the batter's box.
Speaker 1 (01:25:31):
And I'm not sure why they don't do that anymore.
Speaker 10 (01:25:34):
I think that's a good plan to get certain guys
that are one sided as far as their approach.
Speaker 8 (01:25:39):
And again, Steve Sparks joined just every Monday at this
time here on the Sewn Salisbury Show. And along those
same lines, Steve, you pitched in the majors. I mean,
you knew how to follow a game plan and do
all of that. When you watch some of these at bats,
I mean, do you see adjustments. Do you see a
team that is adjusting to what the pitcher is throwing
or do you think it's just kind of the run
(01:25:59):
of the mill. Hey, we know what we can do
and just going out there and trying to do exactly that.
Speaker 1 (01:26:06):
You know what, when the.
Speaker 10 (01:26:06):
Team's not hitting well, Dan, you don't see many adjustments typically,
you know, and there's some days where they just hit
the ball pretty hard right at some people, and so
that without Tuva actually yesterday, outside of that strikeout where.
Speaker 1 (01:26:18):
He got upset, he had a couple of balls hard.
Speaker 10 (01:26:21):
And that's about all you can do is you can
you can get a pitch and try to drive it
and see if you can put them together and string
them together. But they don't make really hard contact as
far as exit velocity. They're either the last or second
to last team this year as far as exit velocity.
(01:26:41):
And you got to hit the ball hard consistently to
be able to put up runs. The astras pitching has
been really solid all year long. Who met, it doesn't
matter who it is. They've been able to plug and
play very well in that department. Fromer had a quality
start yesterday. He gave up three on runs and seven
innings and can't ask for much for that more than that.
Speaker 1 (01:27:03):
And Hunter was unbelievable. Uh, pitch's pretty good. They've got
eighteen games left.
Speaker 10 (01:27:10):
They've got to figure out a way to score four
more runs more consistently.
Speaker 5 (01:27:14):
Steve with that.
Speaker 9 (01:27:16):
So for fans that are trying to figure out, okay,
you know, where do we find And I know if
we all had the answer, we'd bottle it up and
sell it for a lot of money. But so what
gives you at the plate with all the inconsistencies and
lack of adjustments and lack of just driving the baseball
and hit it hard, Like you said, what makes us
think that that's going to change in eighteen games?
Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
I just think they have good players, potent, Yeah, I
think the talent yeah, yeah, it's potential.
Speaker 5 (01:27:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:27:43):
And I know you don't want to hang your hat
on somebody that's not in the line up. But if
they were to get great Us back in there too,
that would help a lot too.
Speaker 10 (01:27:51):
And I think I've told you that, you know, he
means a lot to that offense with how many pitches
he would see, just making the other team work a
little harder, and maybe a guy it's fatigue and makes
the bad pitch to somebody else. So they certainly have
enough guys. Now you're starting to get way more whole.
Jake Myers feels good wherever you can slot him in
(01:28:11):
the lineup.
Speaker 1 (01:28:12):
I like him in the ninth hole. He's done a
great job there.
Speaker 10 (01:28:15):
And if you're going to bat jord On second, I
like hiving a nine hole hitter who gets on base
quite a bit to pair with Peyna. You give yourself
your best two chances of on base percentage to.
Speaker 1 (01:28:26):
Get on base for jord On. But I think they
have enough good.
Speaker 10 (01:28:29):
Players to win to win ball games, and they're pitching
has been probably just shockingly good this year considering all
the injuries.
Speaker 1 (01:28:40):
But I think they can keep a minute well.
Speaker 7 (01:28:43):
I mean and Steve.
Speaker 8 (01:28:44):
You know, Saturday night they are up for eleven runs,
and a huge part of that was Christian Walker and
Jiner Diaz but then yesterday, Joe, I mean, he told
Sean at FanFest last year, I don't want to use
a ton of different lineups.
Speaker 7 (01:28:56):
Why do you switch the lineup? Then?
Speaker 8 (01:28:58):
If those guys hit so well in the seven an
eight spot, why are you moving them up in the order.
Speaker 10 (01:29:02):
Again, Well, it's matchups, Dan, I mean, you look at
the matchup and you're as a manager, you're starting trying
to say, Okay, I see this guy, what does he
do well?
Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
Uh, some guys, I mean, you hate to say this,
and I'm not going to call out any name.
Speaker 10 (01:29:19):
There's there's two or three guys though, that don't hit
Velocity well, and they're just not the guys that you
want in there in a big situation.
Speaker 1 (01:29:27):
So you got to put them down to the line,
never keep them out of the lineup because Velocity kills them.
Speaker 10 (01:29:31):
And we say that, you know, I go over scouting
reports of the other teams for every series and there's
going to be three or four guys that just don't
handle ninety five plus and it's it's right there. It's
on a bunch of different websites. You know, you can
find out which guys just can't handle it. And that's
why you match up, you know, de Los Santos, who
(01:29:54):
throws hard out of the Astros bullpen in a certain
pocket because there's three out of four guys coming up
that don't handle the heat and that's his pocket. And
you're just trying to match up guys for success, and
I think I don't think guys care that much outside
of maybe the top three guys in the lineup where
they really hit. In the lineup on a day to
(01:30:15):
day basis, you know, you got to earn a certain
spot in the lineup if you're if you're going well,
maybe you could go in and say, hey, man, you
know I could drive in more runs for you. It's
so such and such. But there's not enough guys that
can probably say that right now. So you're just trying
to mix a mess because of who you're facing that day.
Speaker 7 (01:30:35):
Steve, does it add it? Does it get to a point?
Speaker 9 (01:30:37):
I mean the pitching wich you've mentioned has been for
the better part of a couple of years, well through
this whole run these years, but these last couple years
when they're hitting, you know, leaving runners in scoring positions
come up big and again this year it doesn't matter
who it is, does there come a point in time
when the burden to carry that becomes too much. Yet
here we are one hundred and forty plus games in
and they're still doing their thing. But man, it just
(01:30:59):
feels to me like it's almost overwhelming, like you're the
truck pulling a trailer at times, not intentionally, but the
way the hitting because five runs, one run, no runs,
two runs, it becomes, I mean, where you got to
go out there and pitch your best every single night
without there's not a lot of room for air. That's
got to be a burden to bear. And you've pitched
in the league and you watch it every day. That's
got to be tough to stomach at times.
Speaker 10 (01:31:21):
You know, I think you probably do go into games
every once in a while thinking, all right, I can't
afford to make a mistake, yep, and especially you know,
and I think Hunter probably went into that game pitching
against Jacob Duground for the second time where they played
on May fifteenth and one nothing game and he was
on the short end of it through a complete game
that lost.
Speaker 1 (01:31:42):
Went into that game and a man, I cannot afford
to make a mistake.
Speaker 7 (01:31:46):
There's not going to be a lot of runs scored right,
Steve with those two guys right right.
Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
You know what, Sean, But I mean, I hear what
you're saying.
Speaker 10 (01:31:54):
But I think the Astros, you can just say, like overall,
when you're looking at it a total picture.
Speaker 1 (01:32:00):
They pitch better than they hit. You know, They've just
been very good at that.
Speaker 10 (01:32:05):
And hitting can go, you know, in the little peaks
and valleys, and it depends on who you're facing and
how you feel at the plate and how tired you
get at certain points.
Speaker 1 (01:32:15):
But I love this time of year.
Speaker 10 (01:32:17):
You know, we're playing in cool weather. I think it's
we're in Toronto right now. It's fifty five degrees a
lot of times. That gives you a little jolt of
energy too.
Speaker 1 (01:32:24):
And this time of year, I think when you're in
it and you're playing.
Speaker 10 (01:32:28):
Baseball games, I think it's the gift of baseball for
players who have earned that right to play in meaningful games.
Is I here's some free energy because these games matter,
and you're not going to feel.
Speaker 1 (01:32:41):
The aches and pains that you did a month ago.
And I think that's where they.
Speaker 10 (01:32:45):
Are right now, and I expect them to play pretty
well these last three weeks in and we'll see where
that lines them up as far as matchups in the playoffs,
But I like their chances of these last three weeks.
Speaker 8 (01:32:57):
Speaking of matchups, you might see this team in the postseason.
You're gonna see for the next three what do you
see from Toronto?
Speaker 1 (01:33:03):
A lot of bangers.
Speaker 10 (01:33:04):
You know, Springer's got a nine to fifty ops, He's
he looks like he did back in Houston, and bar
shows come around. There's a lot of hitters, Baschets having
an unbelievable season. Guerrero, Uh, there's a lot of good
hitters and they've got a lot of good starting pitchers,
but their bullpen that's cost them a lot of games.
So I think the Ashes can go into a series.
(01:33:25):
When you talk about meetings before a series, you talk about,
all right, man, let's put up our best abs we
can early in the ballgame, but go forget this bullpen
struggling and we're never out of it.
Speaker 1 (01:33:36):
So I think we'll see nine inning ball games matter
a lot in this series. I think both teams bullpens
will play a big role.
Speaker 9 (01:33:44):
Steve lets out Bury the lead French Fries with gravy.
You're in Canada, You're gonna.
Speaker 1 (01:33:48):
Do it right I'm not doing it great. I'll do
the vinegar I like to yeh, kind.
Speaker 7 (01:33:55):
Of the fish and chips thing, but the vinegar on
the fries. Yeah, So no gravy on the poop.
Speaker 9 (01:34:01):
Poutine, Yeah, poutine. It's one when I I've never known
about that. When I first went there and played kid,
I'm like, this is some delicacy. But apparently I was
late to the party. But late to the party, which
has been.
Speaker 7 (01:34:14):
Yeah. Oh I'm over that. Nice. So Toronto's beautiful city too,
It should be fun, Steve. I love that town. He's
expensive as hell, but boy is it a great city.
Speaker 8 (01:34:23):
It seems like it's always one of those popular ones
on the MLB road trips. Sparky, you're the best man.
We appreciated every single week. You do it with my
Ryder Cup team too.
Speaker 7 (01:34:33):
Er Cup. He going out first, Sparky, you good with
going out first.
Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
I would definitely go out first, Cup, Yeah, I would
do that.
Speaker 5 (01:34:42):
Oh.
Speaker 8 (01:34:42):
He set the tone in the single gonna You're gonna
start to start the US A chance, all of that,
and then you know he's he's good. He's got to
bury baccaroy nine and eight up nine with eight to go,
just put a staple on it, have the caddies swing
in the flags.
Speaker 10 (01:34:58):
Let's not get it wrong about ability, but pressure situations,
I can play my best. I just don't know if
it's the best compared to other people.
Speaker 9 (01:35:07):
But Steves was a solid ball striker though. Now great
golf track is solid ball striker. I mean really, that's like.
Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
The girl at the problem that has a great personal out.
Speaker 8 (01:35:19):
That's exactly or in your words, the baseball player that
puts together a really.
Speaker 7 (01:35:23):
Good at put together great at BATA. Whatever you do,
just don't short side yourself. Now another good golf track,
now state, don't short side yourself, solid solid outing here,
Sparky threw strikes. We appreciate it, buddy, and we'll catch
up with you again this time next week. Great stuff, brother,
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:35:41):
You got to take care of guys, buddy.
Speaker 7 (01:35:44):
He knows Steve's right on it.
Speaker 5 (01:35:45):
Man.
Speaker 7 (01:35:46):
You know what he doesn't give you ever.
Speaker 9 (01:35:48):
Notice he doesn't get too hot a cold on this team,
right because he see well as a guy who's been
in it. But he also broadcasts it and watches it
every day, the ebbs and flows a baseball er.
Speaker 8 (01:35:57):
He didn't tell us the non player. Well, I mean,
you know, for you, you played, but just a different
sport and then you know he doesn't hit me with that.
So I appreciate that, Dan, you can't ask that question.
Speaker 9 (01:36:06):
Didn't plays right exactly, and Steve would never do that
either much respect and he's but he's right. This team
is just let's just call like we see it. They're
a better pitching team than a hitting team. And they
have been for two straight years period. It's just the
way it is. And that's a good thing because if
they were, if they hit and pitched the same way
this year, this team would be ten games out of
(01:36:27):
first place or more. They would they would already be
on their golf season. If the pitching match the inconsistency
this year of the hitting, not the potential, not the talent,
the production this team, that the division would have been over.
It'd be a two horse race and this team would not.
They'd be in third place. It's hard to argue with that. So,
I mean, there is a part of it that says
that you're fortunate to be where you are, but it
(01:36:49):
also pitching can still get you places that hitting can't,
but that hitting's got to take you places that they
haven't consistently this year.
Speaker 8 (01:36:59):
Speaking of the pitching. When it comes to one particular astro,
it's a very very easy decision to make, and we'll
talk about it here. It is a Sean Salisbury show
on a Monday Sports Talk seven to ninety.
Speaker 9 (01:37:13):
But first, you know, we say it all the time.
Lunchtime is not that far around the corner. I had
steak and eggs for breakfast. Well, you know what, that's
an early How early did you make them? Taken eggs
as well?
Speaker 8 (01:37:23):
I mean I just heated it up, you know before Yeah, yeah,
got you know a lot of meal prep right now,
you know all the things trying to lose weight. Well,
if you're a carnivore diet eater, jbar and Barbecue because
they got some brisket, a lot of protein. They got
some holapeno cheddar sausage. Same deal there the pork ribs.
Brother had them up here for my birthday on Wednesday.
(01:37:44):
And when I tell you, elite doesn't even begin to
tell the story. I uh, jbarn Barbecue dot Com.
Speaker 9 (01:37:49):
You get all the men. You don't need reservation. It's
twenty two o one Leaving Street. Love the indoor outdoor facility,
Love the parking love. Well maybe the summertime it gets
a little too hot at times to go out.
Speaker 7 (01:38:00):
It's rolling. Now, this morning was great. Yesterday was a
great day. It was phenomenal.
Speaker 9 (01:38:04):
But the food's great. You know, I've never understood that.
I'm not dogging people because people have their lifestyles. But
I don't know how you'd walk into Jbarn Barbie. Now
the sides, even if you're not a carnivore, and you
go get yourself some sides or do whatever you want
to do, and you can sustain it because they're off
the charts. But you walk in there and smell it.
I don't know how anybody would resist it.
Speaker 7 (01:38:22):
You can't.
Speaker 9 (01:38:23):
And then when you taste it, even if you're not
a carnivore, you say, well maybe maybe I can become
one because.
Speaker 7 (01:38:28):
The food's just off the charts.
Speaker 9 (01:38:30):
So venue and location, customer service is all so important.
It is in everything we do, but when it comes
to food, there's the one extra thing. Great foods like
great pitching. You can overcome a lot when you got
great food. And then they got the great hitting, the
great they got a little bit of everything, great marketing,
everything there is to know about Jbarn Barbecue is there
(01:38:51):
and take our word for it, but matter of fact,
don't take it until you go in there and validate
what we're telling you.
Speaker 7 (01:38:56):
There's no better barbecue in the city, a true five
tool player.
Speaker 8 (01:38:59):
The food, the full service bar, the beer garden outside,
the massive parking lot outside right there at twenty two
one Leland Street, and then the great service with Hafey
and you got a rash in the back, mister Toomey.
They all set the tone right there. So when you
step in there, you know you're being taken care of.
Every thing's delicious, and you know that it is going
to be a great experience. You say it all the time.
(01:39:20):
Event no event, it doesn't.
Speaker 9 (01:39:22):
Matter that is the event very much, because like I said,
it's just it's one of those places you'll go in
there and you say, okay, man, now I get it,
and you can only experience and now I get it,
trust us. But go in there, trust it for yourself.
If you leave hungry, that's that's on you. No truer
word spoken. Jbar M Barbecue, twenty two one Leland Street.
Jbar M Barbecue right there in Edo.
Speaker 8 (01:39:44):
Coach Stark here, touchdown, touch us you've got Sports Talk
seven ninety, Houston's home of Longhorn Football.
Speaker 7 (01:39:51):
Back to the Shawn Salisbury Show.
Speaker 8 (01:39:56):
Are you aware that they are one in seven and
his last eight star It's very aware, And yesterday it
wasn't necessarily the overall body of work. I mean, well,
look that's not telling the truth. It is the overall
body of work because he goes seven innings. That's nice,
three earned runs, four of them in total, so one
(01:40:17):
of those unearned strikes out five only walks one. But
it's the two run Homer. It's the situations with Fromber.
I would almost say with Fromber, it's like the Texans defense.
Like yesterday, I shared the stats earlier with the Texans
they gave up seven third down conversions out of thirteen
chances against the Rams, they only converted two. So that
(01:40:37):
just shows you the offensive utility against the defense. But
it's just it's frustrating where you just feel like you're
up to a point where in twenty twenty two, Fromber
got that out right. Fromber was able to get you
out of it without any type of damage. But then
yesterday it's the sixth inning, he gives up three runs,
he gives up the Young double and then the two
run homer to Jake Berger, and at at that point
(01:41:00):
you're down four to one. You're pretty much seeing yourself
as an Astros fan, were cooked like this. This just
isn't going to happen.
Speaker 9 (01:41:06):
Today because why because you haven't been able to get
consistent run production at the right time consistently, and that
is going to be an issue all the way through.
The pitching ain't getting easier as you as you roll
towards this, you're going to see the best from Seattle.
You're going to see the best from the Rangers. They
got the Rangers one more time as well, Yeah, they
do next week three and three for both of them.
Speaker 7 (01:41:27):
Correct.
Speaker 8 (01:41:27):
I think that after this weekend series against the Braves,
that's the Rangers for three, which, by the way, I
think you have to sweep that series if you're going
to win the Silver Boot. But that's neither here nor there.
But then following weekend is the Mariners. So yeah, now
you're in it.
Speaker 7 (01:41:42):
So what have we got eighteen to go or something
like that? Think so for to go? Yeah, there you go.
So that's three six game series and more will be
on the road than at home. By the way, around
six to three game series, would I say three six games?
Y six three game series?
Speaker 9 (01:41:57):
So yeah, I at this stage, he's got to get
a good pitching. I hope you get a clutch it
here and there and think you're going to be in
a fight and they're gonna be three to two, five
to four, four to three games, and hope that you're
pitching continues to do what they do, because you're not
exactly going to be facing hacks to play in Toronto.
In Texas they can mean, even though they're banged up,
they can still get you some runs. And then Seattle,
(01:42:19):
we obviously know that they've hit the long ball this
year as well, So the task at hand is gonna
be difficult. Nine of those games, you know, Of those
eighteen games, half of them we know, and I'm not
even sure the other three they got to play. Who
are the other three series? We've got Seattle, Toronto and
the Rangers.
Speaker 7 (01:42:38):
Who else? You got Tampa in there? You said following Toronto?
Is that correct? Yep?
Speaker 8 (01:42:43):
And then who's the other two series against A's is
one of them? Yeah, it's the A's and then Angels
to close it out there you.
Speaker 9 (01:42:50):
Go, So you see when and the A's gave them
a few fits hitting the hitting the baseball as well.
So you're gonna just you're just gonna have to continue
to get great pitching, a great bullpen because you can't
count on full or five runs at night. Now they
get hot, great, it's a bonus. But the pitching staff,
the onus is going to be on them, because the
pitching staff is better than the hitting has been all
(01:43:13):
year long, and they've been consistently good from start to finish,
other than a few hiccups throughout the season. It's just
the overall pattern. I mean to the point that you
just brought up, it's a trend now, right, just a pattern.
Speaker 7 (01:43:24):
This is real.
Speaker 8 (01:43:25):
It's a one off if you're able to get more
than four or five runs because you haven't been doing
that consistently. And then when it comes to Fromber the
decisions made, as far as I'm concerned, like there is
not going to be the pay the man tweets and
all of those, no matter how good he is down
the stretch, and no matter how deep you possibly could
go in the postseason. And it's quotes like this yesterday
(01:43:46):
that kind of do draw my ire a little bit
Fromber after the game through auto lore, it was a
little frustrating, but today I was more chill.
Speaker 7 (01:43:57):
Why aren't you that way all of the time? Like
it's just like you ever have people.
Speaker 8 (01:44:02):
Who tell you like how they are as a person,
but you know the person well enough where you're like
you're trying to convince yourself of that you're not that person,
Like people who try to tell you, Hey, man, I'm chill.
Speaker 7 (01:44:12):
The fact that you have to say that means that
you're not. Like you either portray it or you don't.
Speaker 9 (01:44:17):
That's not as I wouldn't say being chills his strength
on the mound, not even close.
Speaker 8 (01:44:21):
But it's like stuff like that that like you you
sing that after the game, like I'm just like, oh
my god, man, Like you just don't get it, do you?
Like you understand to a point what you're being asked
to do, but I don't think that you're necessarily capable
of delivering that with consistent results. Conversely, what did we
see on Saturday Night? From Hunter Brown? Ninety eight pitches?
(01:44:43):
I throw out the tweet at the time, I say
he's probably done for the night. Apparently when he came
down the stairs, he looked right at Joe Spot and said,
I'm going back out like you're putting me back out there.
I'm going to save those guys in the bullpen and
give you one more inning.
Speaker 7 (01:44:58):
And that's which I want from my best. Damn right,
you do.
Speaker 9 (01:45:01):
My front line started. I want that from every starter
that's on any team. If you're not getting that, then
that guy shouldn't be running out in front. Hey, I
just to me, now, that's see, there's that old school.
There's a little bit of old school. And listen, you
can like old school or not when it comes to
that mentality. I'll take those guys all day, every day,
all day, every day. I'd rather have you fight with
(01:45:23):
a guy about pulling you out than beg to be
pulled out.
Speaker 7 (01:45:26):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 5 (01:45:27):
Sure?
Speaker 9 (01:45:27):
And you know what I'm saying. They don't literally out
loud begging. But you know, when a guy put it
this way, Hunter Brown's not ducking anything, and I need
we all need guys like that at the front that
aren't ducking pressure, aren't ducking opportunity, aren't duck in another inning,
are duck And then if you've got to get into
an argument with your manager over it, argue away, pop down,
(01:45:50):
to the bottom of the dugout steps, take you after
the clubhouse and say, I am gonna go finish this
next inning. Trust me on this one. I've trusted you,
trust me, I'm going to get this done. You need
me to do this, Go do your thing, buddy. So yeah,
there's there's no doubt and it's just been Listen, Frober's
got some things in his career. The one thing, like
(01:46:11):
I said, if it ever gets to the point where
the mental and emotional the emotional part of him more
importantly the emotional because he's a competitive guy. But you
can be competitive and still be a bit of a
wreck when it comes when the emotion gets sideways. If
the emotion ever matches the talent, he'll win a cy
young or two.
Speaker 7 (01:46:29):
He will. The question is how long are you gonna
say that? How long are you now?
Speaker 9 (01:46:34):
We it feels like Frober's been pitching for forty seven years.
He's in his twenties, is he not? Yeah, I was
gonna say upper twenties, twenty nine years old. So there's
still plenty of good baseball in him, but at some
point for him to get to the new level where
you're like every time he goes out there because his
stuff is stupid good. If the emotion will ever match
the physicals when he's on the mount, you got one
(01:46:56):
of the best, if not the best, left handed baseball
He's he's the There's just something missing from that that
there's a different mentality from other guys that are at
the top of the league.
Speaker 7 (01:47:06):
It's exactly what emotion.
Speaker 8 (01:47:08):
It's exactly what Dina said about, Oh, he's a middle
linebacker out there. Well, the middle linebacker can still get
you fifteen yards and lose your ballgame.
Speaker 9 (01:47:14):
And a middle linebacker plays with a lot of a
lot of emotion, most of them that you can see
in different sports possible, there's no doubt. So I love
a guy who's at tough. But part of being tough
isn't just throwing strikes. Part of being tough is how
good are you when things aren't going your way? And
that's not his strength, but it's going to have to
be because he's gonna run up against. Start looking at
(01:47:36):
the starters in these in the American League. Who you're
gonna run up against, not just hitting, but the matchups
when you face a daground like Connor Brown, or when
you face school you're not gonna be able to duck
those guys. Not saying from or wants to, but you're
gonna have to stand and expect. You're gonna be in
a three to one game that an error can be
the difference. So how you're gonna handle it?
Speaker 7 (01:47:53):
Expect it.
Speaker 9 (01:47:54):
Expect a pop up and there's two to one guys
on second third, Expect you catcher to hit the guy
in the back running down first base. Because it's happened
this year, this has been the trend this recent times. Right,
So you just got to go in and whatever it is.
You got to wow us with the emotion and if
chills the way he was his last start, then be
chill all the time.
Speaker 7 (01:48:13):
If that's what it takes. Because he was he was
really good. He's really good. Got to him, but he was,
He's had a good he pitched well enough to win.
I got a meditation app he can use if he
wants to. You'll have to convince him of that one. Yeah,
maybe I will. Maybe. Hey, by the way, you know,
you want to like maybe give from or this one?
I can send it to you can send it to him.
Is it the calm app?
Speaker 2 (01:48:34):
Not calm?
Speaker 7 (01:48:34):
It's another one. But it helps. It helps.
Speaker 8 (01:48:37):
I mean, you know whenever disdain Dan still bubbles up
after the show because I you know, I if I
go get a cup of coffee somewhere, they don't need that.
Speaker 7 (01:48:44):
A lot of d's in that this dance. There's a
lot of d's in there.
Speaker 1 (01:48:46):
You know.
Speaker 8 (01:48:46):
If I if I go get a sandwich somewhere, they
don't need that. You know, I'm going going to get
my uh you know, the meat, which not a lot
of sandwiches right now, but you know, going to get
the meat for the carnivore diet. Well, you know, people
behind the deli counter don't want to hear that from me,
the meat on her. They don't need a disdain Dan.
A lot of these yeah nuts on your forehead. Oh
geez man, that was no, that was well done. It's
(01:49:09):
so way too easy.
Speaker 4 (01:49:12):
I was.
Speaker 7 (01:49:12):
I was looking for a slider away fast inside.
Speaker 9 (01:49:16):
You can't catch up to ninety nine, bro I said,
you know, disdain Dan dial uh you know everything you
talked about in.
Speaker 7 (01:49:24):
The d I just simply said.
Speaker 9 (01:49:26):
I didn't even I just simply said a lot of
these I even just didn't even jump on it.
Speaker 7 (01:49:30):
I didn't even try to break the bat right.
Speaker 9 (01:49:31):
There, you know, ring his ass up either right hand
or triple in my hands would have just been in
shambles at that point. I tried to offer it that pitch.
Speaker 7 (01:49:40):
That was good by you. It really was well done,
all right.
Speaker 8 (01:49:44):
Something that actually we talked about with Sparky and and
I and I mentioned you because you are involved in
this and it's not the reason yesterday, but it was
a frustration. We'll talk about it in regards to the astros.
Here it is The Shawn Salisbury Show Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2 (01:49:59):
The Shawn Salsbury Show continued.
Speaker 9 (01:50:03):
Red hot, put in the tartar sauce and mixed around.
I'll do that and then some I like the oil vinegar,
put on the on the on the fish and chips,
and then a little you know that simple ketchup. I
can put on the dog on French fries.
Speaker 7 (01:50:16):
But good cocktail sauce goes a long way too. No, No,
soda is ranch dressing. Yeah, thick ranch dressing with French fries.
With French fries.
Speaker 9 (01:50:25):
I was gonna says, fish with ranch, No, no, no, no,
just the French fries you gotta keep. And I guess
it's not really sa different. But tartar sauce is better, right,
with a fresh tartar sauce with a great piece of
fish fresh off the ocean.
Speaker 7 (01:50:38):
Come on, son.
Speaker 8 (01:50:40):
And then like when it comes to fried shrimp, like
you know, some people will do it the corn meal batter,
I can't have it that way.
Speaker 7 (01:50:46):
I need the flour. I I need the flour. Neat
it that way, man, I could throw down some fried shrimp. Brother,
got me going now, say fried shrimp in a while,
either dude, some fried shrimp, some some fries, us, some
script dog, nice little beer to go with it, ice cold, yes, yes,
(01:51:07):
all of it. You find places that serve those.
Speaker 5 (01:51:09):
Let's go.
Speaker 7 (01:51:10):
You got you something. But Texans also lose fourteen to nine, man,
and you spend time talking about me. They they were
not good, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 8 (01:51:19):
I mean I told you about the team stats yesterday,
two of nine on third down, and as one of
our callers pointed out earlier, I think it was christ
and Jersey Village eleven penalties for eighty yards and you
only scored nine points.
Speaker 7 (01:51:33):
You committed more penalties than you scored points.
Speaker 9 (01:51:35):
Yeah, you can't kick field goals regularly and beat good teams.
You can't on the road against the super Bowl caliber
team that was close to making it last year too.
You can't penalize yourself. You can't lay balls on the ground.
I know that the physical airs are going to happen,
but the self inflicted stuff of silly penalties of the again,
(01:51:56):
the past protection of the offensive lines.
Speaker 7 (01:51:59):
I know they're banged up, but.
Speaker 9 (01:52:02):
When you're you're getting paid though, And then they got
their guys back in cam Robin. I mean's just I
understand why they tried to put ursery there at first.
Cam Robbins has got to start moving his feet, dude.
It is even when they protected the quarterback. The collapse
is too real in the pocket, it just is. And
you know, the run games seems like it's yesterday. It
(01:52:23):
felt everything felt like it was just labor, constant laboring.
As a football team, I trust defense like I do
pitching here. I trust the defense, But the offense has
got to find a consistent rhythm because right and Nico
Collins has got to be more involved.
Speaker 7 (01:52:40):
You just you can't. You cannot.
Speaker 9 (01:52:43):
You have to force feed him the ball, either formationally
or whatever. You've got to create spots for him to
get the football and you just have to he's your
best player on offense.
Speaker 8 (01:52:51):
Not there targeted five times just today, he caught three
of them for twenty five yards long enough four.
Speaker 9 (01:52:56):
Not enough on the road, and they a lot of
underneath it. And I don't mind the simple play, but
you do have to take shots along the way to
back them off. To wear a five yard catch and
tackle becomes a twelve yard catch, run and tackle. You've
got to create more space. I didn't think they did
a good job of that yesterday. And the offensive line,
if that's going to be the if that's what you
called nasty, you better get that fixed.
Speaker 7 (01:53:18):
You mentioned something there, and I understand.
Speaker 9 (01:53:20):
You know, Jay Andrews goes out with the foot injury
or ankle whatever he had during the game.
Speaker 7 (01:53:25):
But you hadn't played a game in eight months. How
are you banged up?
Speaker 9 (01:53:30):
You're talking to the wrong cat, dude. When it comes out,
football is a physical game, I get it, I don't.
I mean how many different times they had we talk
about guys being versatile. It was it was the whack
a mole game, dude. This is the shell game.
Speaker 7 (01:53:44):
This guy's here, all.
Speaker 8 (01:53:45):
Right, you're playing left tackle here this drive. You're playing
left guard. Move you to right guard.
Speaker 9 (01:53:49):
Now back to left tackle, tackle right tackle, right tackle,
back to left tackle, and then back to right tackle.
You're the left tackle, but we're not starting you now.
We're going to put you into left tackle and move
the rookie back to right tackle. Oh nope, we got
the center.
Speaker 7 (01:54:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (01:54:02):
It's like in the rhyme or reason. But the bottom
line is, no matter what combination they had right, they've
got to get They've got to be imposed. There will more,
not only in pass protection but in running. And I
saw a little bit of why Nick should the why
Nick Chubb runs hard. I told you he's a thumper, dude,
and he looks to me like he's still trying to
find his way. But the Texans should never be touchdown
(01:54:25):
shut out in a game. Never quarterback's too good. You've
got enough good players. They should never go. Now you're
gonna get beaten, low scoring, but you should never walk
out for football field ever and not having scored a.
Speaker 7 (01:54:37):
Touchdown at some point. Nick Chubb four point six yards
per carry us, you can live with that.
Speaker 9 (01:54:41):
That'll be you average four point six to five yards
of carry. You'll be in the top top, top leading
carriers in the league over the of the course to say,
I mean you just you do that two or three times,
you get a first down. So but eventually they squeeze you,
and you've got to be able to make a play
in the passing game with your best players and take
a few shots to at least get them thinking that
(01:55:02):
we got to create some space where they're going to
go right over the top of them.
Speaker 7 (01:55:04):
Nice to see CJ also use his feet yesterday because
that was something that underrated weapon. Gotta have it.
Speaker 8 (01:55:10):
It was like almost like he unlocked something mentally last
year in that playoff game when he took off against
the Chargers where he was like, oh, yeah, I can
still do this. It's like, yeah, you can just be
smart about it and don't be like Lamar Jackson on
that one play where he took a shot.
Speaker 9 (01:55:26):
Yeah, get down a play the time. You're no good
to me, said Bus playing a backup quarterback.
Speaker 7 (01:55:31):
I got to have him.
Speaker 9 (01:55:32):
But those feet, as you saw Jade and Daniels created yesterday,
you saw Josh Allen. We know what Lamar Jackson does.
Herbert's created it. Mahomes over the course of time has
done it. So hell, look at justin Fields's feet yesterday.
What is the difference it made in their game? Even
though they lost, they had a chance to win that
and probably should have because they gave Pittsburgh's defense trouble.
And Rogers looked a little quick step urgent. As opposed
(01:55:55):
to the year last year when he was coming off
the year before achilles injury, this looked more like on schedule,
off schedule, Aaron Rodgers hitting slants, the ball coming out
on time, So.
Speaker 7 (01:56:06):
You start to look around. Stroud's feet are.
Speaker 9 (01:56:10):
Going to be an advantage for him as long as
we don't have to bail all the time. Okay, you've
got you've got to solidify that. Let him say, his
feet and the hits or even close to the hits
walking them back, they start to add up and they
start to speed up your process, which becomes a problem
delivering the football when everything is Urgent's one thing being
sped up in desperate to another. This offensive line has
(01:56:32):
got to shore this up, and they can't. You know,
they can't miss tackles. They blew coverage a couple of times,
and they're soon There were some free runners that were
too open.
Speaker 7 (01:56:40):
Yeah, that Stafford, and listen Stafford's.
Speaker 9 (01:56:42):
Going to make some phenomenal throws anyway, but you can't
let Puka and those guys do what they do because
a guy like that will destroy you because he's at
the point of his career he's figured out the mental side.
Speaker 8 (01:56:52):
The quick throws from Shroud were by necessity it. I mean,
I think that there was a little bit of like
lessons learned, but still a lot of that was by necessity.
Speaker 9 (01:57:00):
Hence why you can't live it. You're gonna whether it's
play action and turn the line back, whether it's max
protect at some point in time because the guy is
so good at intermediate delivery of the ball and taking
shots even if they're not complete.
Speaker 7 (01:57:11):
They do wear on a defense.
Speaker 9 (01:57:13):
If I know I'm getting horizontal football from you, and
and I'll just squeeze you a zero to ten and
if you can't break a tackle, then you're going to
be punting to me quite often.
Speaker 8 (01:57:21):
Well, it was kind of the tail of that yesterdays,
as I mentioned, with giving up seven third down conversions
and thirteen chances defensively, so good but not good enough,
I think would probably be the way to describe the
way the Texans defense played. Larry tim see you guys,
We'll involve you right here. It is the Sean Salisbury Show.
You want to join them seOne three two one two
(01:57:43):
five seven ninety against seven one three two one two
five seven ninety As we continue here.
Speaker 7 (01:57:47):
On a Monday, let's go. This is the Sean Salisbury Show.
Neither did much of the Mariners. So now did cal
hit it all the way to California?
Speaker 8 (01:57:59):
Not quite to Caliblifornia, but he did hit it to
the fountain out there in center field at Truest Park
is called Chattahoochee Falls.
Speaker 7 (01:58:05):
What's he? Now? We have fifty three fifty two where we.
Speaker 8 (01:58:08):
I'd have to look, but I mean he's in the neighbor,
he's in the ballpark. Is he California Calvin? Or is
he Calhoun? Like cal McNair is Calhoun Raley?
Speaker 7 (01:58:20):
You get my point?
Speaker 9 (01:58:20):
I do anybody that's name is cal though I call
it California. Yeah, Calhoun McNair, d Calhoun McNair. See when
you're trying to go to the d's nuts joke.
Speaker 7 (01:58:31):
No, I wasn't.
Speaker 8 (01:58:31):
I wasn't the initial I didn't. I didn't have a
teed up. But like if you have something like that,
as as a person of status. I mean you already
know that you're a person of status because you mean
the initial first. Yes, for rich people, that's what it is.
It's either that or it's you find out where they
live and their address isn't four digits five digits like us,
(01:58:55):
you know, normal plebeians.
Speaker 7 (01:58:56):
Twenty five, Yes, it's twenty five. It's Sanderson Place, yes, yeah.
And it's always a court. Yeah, it's always a court.
Speaker 8 (01:59:05):
Like you find out where like a really rich person lives,
you're going to get through about two or three different gates.
Speaker 7 (01:59:09):
Well, none of that fits me. But I'm I'm R.
Sean Salisbury because I go by my middle name. I'm
Richard John.
Speaker 9 (01:59:15):
You're rich in many ways. No, I can just you know,
but what you do is you stick that on your door,
like R. Sewan because it's like like a CEO. Oh man,
we got ore, you know, it's just like the three.
You gotta the the initials, like, oh, Scott Fitzgerald. Yeah,
all of a sudden, we're supposed to take what Scott
Fitzgerald do to you know, that's that's an author. His
name is Scott Fitzer.
Speaker 8 (01:59:35):
No again, I still don't understand, like what what's what's
your problem with Scott Fitzgerald?
Speaker 9 (01:59:39):
No doubt so I I uh, but you're exactly right
when you got the additional first. It's usually normally you
think any you go by that like on your card,
he's warn't an ascot before. Oh, there's no doubt. And
top siders on on a yacht, guys like me drive
a boat, sipuburb and drive a drive yacht.
Speaker 8 (01:59:58):
Would you would you? Would you like some pappy? That
is fifteen years age? Do you have any others? The
elusive goal that everybody wants more pappy? Yes, that's it, dude,
and especially too if you've had good pappy. It's anytime
it's offered, you take it.
Speaker 7 (02:00:13):
Yeah, you stand in line for it. Oh yeah, damn
right you do. seOne three, two, two, five seven ninety Larry,
what's up? Larry?
Speaker 2 (02:00:21):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (02:00:22):
Gentlemen? Happy Monday to y'all. Man Sehn, I'm you know,
maybe it's just as I continue to mature in this
life that I'm living, maybe uh, my tolerance for ignorance
has gone way through the roof now because I'm just
not going to tolerate it.
Speaker 4 (02:00:38):
There are people.
Speaker 5 (02:00:39):
Literally out on these streets these Twitter streets, thes real
streets talking about c J. Stroud is maybe an average
a mediocre quarterback. If that's what you're saying on my
Twitter feed, just consider yourself blocked, because see, these are
the kind of things that I just don't tolerate anymore. Man,
Because if you're watching football and ce J Stroud lead
(02:01:01):
your to a score before the half, and he put
you in position to win the game, and somebody else
fumbled the football, and you come to me saying that
he's mediocre, I'm thinking your ass is an idiot. That
is not how the game is played. Sure we wanted
bigger stats, Sure we wanted more scoring, but the Texas
were in position to win that game and they committed
(02:01:21):
a turnover. Here's the thing that we got to also accept.
They only scored fourteen points yesterday. That was the lowest
scoring points in a winning game yesterday in the NFL.
The Texas defense gave up fourteen points and held the
Rams under three hundred yards of total offense. If you
(02:01:43):
go out there and do what you're supposed to do,
protect the football, get Nico involved, this team is gonna
be just fine. The only two issues that I had
with the Texas yesterday. You put tay Er three ass
that left tackle and leave it him the hell alone.
Quit moving him all around the damn offensive land like
(02:02:04):
y'all done with other offensive linemen and ruin their careers.
Exam you see if Philu and all these other clowns
that we've had, and the other thing that I'm gonna
continue to address, the Miko Rice cannot put Jalen Petrie
or Hall of Fame wide receivers and think that he
is going to get a positive result. It doesn't happen.
(02:02:28):
These dudes are designed to beat you that way, to Miko,
so play the defense that you need to play, stop
your cornerback in and take Petrie out. Do something other
than putting him on that kind of dude in our hall.
Speaker 9 (02:02:41):
Larry and Stafford right, correct Number one real quick is
there's nothing average about CJ. Strouds. Matter of fact, he's
so non average. I mean, I'm going to continue to
ask more of him. That's how well how much I
believe in him. We just got to stop this. Like
you said, it's hard to play when you've got to
(02:03:01):
stare Atchow and he's exactly right. You want continuity if
you're looking for Ursery's career and what you're looking for.
Plug him in and let him, let him go and
adjust the other four if necessary.
Speaker 7 (02:03:13):
I wasn't out there for training camp, but I think
they did that.
Speaker 9 (02:03:16):
They put him there in first place for a reason,
So keep him there, let him, let him do his thing.
And lastly, the defense was as the defense is going
to As I've said here, the defense is gonna they'll
make they they'd left him running coverage a little bit,
but Stafford's not exactly chopped Liver and Pook and Nikup
is not exactly an average player. This defense is going
(02:03:36):
to get plenty of stops. There are going to be
a top five defense in the league the show. I'm
just telling you they are. But nine points is not
going to be enough. You can't lay the ball on
the ground on the road against a good team. We've
seen that. We know and Demico knows all this, and
then you've got to actually stretch and push and attack more.
But there's nothing average about about c J. Stroud at all.
Speaker 7 (02:03:58):
And I'm with him.
Speaker 9 (02:04:00):
There's not a safety in the league. This is no
disrespect to Petrie, who I think is a hell of
you know how I feel about. This is the best
young secondary in the league in my opinion. If that
means you know what, stinging may have to travel, meaning
if you're inside outside may have to be on your
best player. I just may have to do it because
there's not a safety in the league. Petri included because
he is a safety. He's not a corner playing nickel slot.
(02:04:23):
The mismatch that is Nicoua on Petrie is like shooting
fish in a barrel there. You've never done it, but
I know it's easy, okay, And that's not Peter's. So
you're dealing with the best slot guy, movement guy that
we have in the league right now. When it comes
to that the possession stuff to get open, he's so
precise and dynamic.
Speaker 7 (02:04:42):
It's a mismatch and you can't do it. It's got
to be a corner.
Speaker 9 (02:04:44):
I want Petri in the game, but that can't be
it because I'm trying to move my formations around to
get myself with a receiver locked onto a safety, not
a corner. Safeties aren't usually cover guys unless it's a
tight end. Now, we've gotten so much to work these
flex tight ends and the slot guys that you're putting
them in a mind.
Speaker 7 (02:05:04):
Petrie is is good, but you can't.
Speaker 9 (02:05:07):
You can't have him running around covering the best player
on that team not named Matt Stafford, and you just can't.
He's gonna get He's going to get his catches. Make
it more difficult on him. You get to the point,
even with that good defense, is that you may have
to have Stingley travel inside and outside to take away
your best and then make him beat you with somebody else.
The coup and he was banged up and still delivered
(02:05:29):
like he did. That's a football playing jesse Man.
Speaker 8 (02:05:32):
That final conversion for the Rams, too, eyes were everywhere.
It's what Dimiko told us out.
Speaker 9 (02:05:36):
The ghenomenal play call. You talk about guts and then
having to make a throw off, schedule it off ballance
and make it accurate.
Speaker 8 (02:05:45):
Great play call, great for them, not so much for
the Texans. See a couple of you waiting on the
phone lines. We'll get you involved. You want to join
him someone three two one two five seven ninety. Also
to that Astro's lineup thing, we'll get to it all right.
What do you want from us? It is Shawn Salisbury
show here on a Monday sports Talk seven ninety kb.

Saulisbury, Old Salisbury, Houston.
Speaker 1 (02:06:30):
Okay, let's do this.
Speaker 2 (02:06:31):
Sean Salisbury.
Speaker 3 (02:06:34):
Salisbury to USC Troupes, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury.
Speaker 2 (02:06:37):
Dan Matthewscues. This is the Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 8 (02:06:46):
I mean, I know some of you probably the energy
is slumping, you know, because the Astros lose four to
two and then drop two out of three to the Rangers,
and now the Rangers are only four games back of
them in the division. And well the Mariners also beat
the Braves, so now they're only two and a half
games back, and then the Texans lose fourteen to nine
there in La.
Speaker 7 (02:07:04):
I mean, I get it.
Speaker 8 (02:07:05):
I know how mondays can go around here when it's
a highly anticipated sports weekend that doesn't go one hundred
percent according to plan.
Speaker 7 (02:07:12):
That's fine, I get it. It's fine.
Speaker 8 (02:07:14):
Just trying to bring the juice, trying to bring the energy,
trying to fire you up as you're stuck in traffic
right now on the north side of the of the loop.
That's that's all I'm trying to do here. You know
that that exit to Ella it's backed up a little bit.
Then you get up to the light and maybe a
handful of cars. Don't you always notice that too?
Speaker 7 (02:07:30):
You played the Ella card?
Speaker 9 (02:07:31):
Yeah, Ella is a good exit. Yeah yeah, Ella TC
just right off six ten right yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:07:37):
Ella TC for it. Yeah. And then you know Shepherd Durham. Yeah,
I like your stop all of them yep, and sometimes.
Speaker 8 (02:07:45):
Too if you don't have the toll tag, it'll kick
you over to Shephard and you got to take that
to go up to forty five, and then you go
up forty five and yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:07:51):
You're right there. Look how you explain it nice. When
it comes to directions, I can I can hit you
with some directions. Yeah, your directions guy. Pretty much. If
I go to a place once, I remember how to
get there. Fair.
Speaker 8 (02:08:03):
But I still do use my GPS because then it's
all right. You know, I want to know if there's
a if there's a wreck on forty five, which there
always is, so I know that you can get off
at cross Timbers and cut over that way any of
those other ways.
Speaker 7 (02:08:18):
You're distained in now you're over the Little York over
my gallery furniture.
Speaker 8 (02:08:21):
Area, right well, I mean and that's yeah, yeah, between
between tied Well and Little York's right there. You know
Mac Mac telling us uh or Tidwell and Parker. I'm sorry, see.
Speaker 9 (02:08:31):
That's all right, Little York, Parker, ted Well. They're all
within two miles of each other. You know you're gallery furniture.
You're not going to miss it. I've got the stadium
lights right there. You got the huge video board. You're
all good, you know Mac and crew are in there.
Shout out Royal or Tega, everybody over there. Great people.
So look at you, look at you and giving your
just rolling down the scroll the list of all the
(02:08:52):
good people.
Speaker 7 (02:08:53):
He's great people over there, an right he does.
Speaker 9 (02:08:56):
And the Mac and Vale family they they definitely support.
So you think, shout him out every chance yet understatement
of the year, no doubt. But it's a chance to
step up for the city. The man does it all regularly,
and even when there's no chance, he creates chances of
opportunities to help somebody, which is a good thing. Always does.
Back to these Texans out man, I am I don't
(02:09:21):
know if I should be concerned after week one. Offensively,
I'm still trying to figure out, Okay, let him settle in.
But maybe it's because it was such a just a
little more and they win the game. I mean literally now,
I don't know if the Rams are going to go
down and score with a minute to go though, I
mean put themselves in position to kick a field goal
or what have you. But I can tell you this,
(02:09:43):
that unfortunate guy who's been reliable, who doesn't lay the
ball on the ground, it was just a perfect storm
for a ball that was punched out and then they
recover it and I'll tell you Fisks hands on that
was the guy who's forceble, but fiscns a big fellow
that will usually slides around, ripped it, Paul. He was phenomenal.
I when I looked at it, Gain I said, we
(02:10:05):
don't realize this isn't all State hands team waiting for
an onside kick. This was a big physical lineman that
goes there and grabs it like he's mister versatility and
pause it and brings it in and secures it. It's
one thing to lay it down, it's another to make
a great recovery and the recovery was phenomenal, But I'm
trying to figure out.
Speaker 7 (02:10:23):
I'm trying to.
Speaker 9 (02:10:24):
Like I said, I don't like had they one by thirty,
I wouldn't put him in a super Bowl either, but
it would have given us a little bit more going
into the next week and the next week about how
you try to get this done. But there are some
things that they're gonna have to and it's it's the
self inflicted things that bother me the most. You've had
a training camp, and I know it's early in the season,
but I don't think we can keep making the excuses that, oh,
(02:10:46):
it's early because you say it too much and before
you know, you're one and two and then you're chasing
the rest of them.
Speaker 8 (02:10:51):
I mean it's not only that. I mean you had
eight months to try to clean up these mistakes. I
mean you have ample enough time as a coaching staff.
You dissect every bit of film and go over it
with players of hey, here's why you committed that penalty.
Because you're out of position. You can have all the
receipt you know, officials out there practice that you want.
Nothing is going to substitute game speed. But it's also
(02:11:14):
something I talked about while you stepped out for a moment,
like you made roster moves this off season to try
to alleviate this problem, like Chris Boyd's not here anymore,
probably doing large parts of pushing the special teams coach
last year for being honest because you finally said to yourself,
that gets me beat. Stuff like that gets me beat.
I'm not going to have that guy on this roster anymore.
(02:11:36):
And clearly it didn't make a difference.
Speaker 7 (02:11:38):
You can't.
Speaker 9 (02:11:40):
They're gonna watch that tape today and it's it's gonna
bug the hell out of them because they're gonna say,
after all this, we're inside the red zone to win
a game, after all of it, and and Larry's right,
the defense to be able to hold a Matt Stafford
team in there building to fourteen points, that's saying something.
Speaker 7 (02:12:00):
You win that game.
Speaker 9 (02:12:00):
No, you're gonna you're not gonna lose many given fourteen
points to any team, let alone good I mean bad teams.
You're going to hell that you have your pitch of
shoutout at fourteen. And that's the way that defense can play.
They're gonna still got some things, and I know Demico
expects them to play better in certain situations. But yet
that passing game, you're facing one of the better quarterback
(02:12:21):
receiver combos. When it comes to those two, Pooka and
him are on the same It's it's a really actually
it's when it's at your expense, it sucks. But if
you really want to watch how a guy is precise
in his route running, that Nikkoup is such a great
watch and Stafford can still rip it after all these years. Man,
it's just and yet they're still in position to win,
which gives you hope, but you don't. It's a bummer
(02:12:42):
to be down on one. It's sure feel better you
beat it a team that is a Final Four caliber
team and you beat him in their building and you
have dead to rights. You just did, and you would
have watched that tape and said we were about seventy
percent of what we should be truthfully, but you're gonna
get beat by Carolinas or by the New Orleans and
Saints type teams. I'm not saying they're on the schedule.
You get my point. Teams that you're like, come on, man,
(02:13:05):
if you come in two years in a row, because
you're gonna you're good. Those self inflicted airs, ten penalties.
You know, the running taking a while to get going
with the run game, quarterback flat on his back.
Speaker 7 (02:13:15):
It can't be just like the pitching.
Speaker 9 (02:13:18):
You can't expect stroud to have out of body experiences
every week and say, oh, we're gonna be okay. As
you can see, that position's tough no matter how good
the quarterback is. You can't play from your ass, and
you sure can't play one dimensional, and you can't play sideways.
You're geting sideways. Football is fine as long as we
get some vertical attack. And I just thought that there
was a and they did a good job keep it
(02:13:39):
close and give us a chance, and they did have
one and they didn't pull it off. But the defense
was the Rams won't score fourteen points or less many
times this year.
Speaker 7 (02:13:48):
I assure you of that, and if they do, they're
probably going to lose eight. That's right, that's right. So
I mean, as I said, the defense was good, not
good enough.
Speaker 8 (02:13:57):
We did play a cut from CJ earlier where he
had some concerns about their practice week.
Speaker 9 (02:14:03):
Now a lot of times that's overblown now, but normally
it's the other way. Guys air on the side of
great week. I actually like that, Yes, great week and
just take in and get a beat down by Florida. Look,
you can sometimes too.
Speaker 8 (02:14:17):
I mean, I don't remember the last time I heard
somebody say this, but you can have a well I'm
gonna be honest.
Speaker 9 (02:14:22):
I was concerned because we didn't really have a good
week of practice and then you go play your ass off.
It happens once in a while there you go. But
I can tell you this, most of the time, when
you practice well, you at least play pretty decent football.
It doesn't mean you're gonna win them all. But I
like the fact that he called it out, saying, you
know what, concerned about our practice week. And here's the
thing that bugs me, though, I understand in week nine
(02:14:43):
you're getting ready to play a team that's got two wins.
Why your practice week was kind of you know, you
got to guard against flounder and around kind of putting
your pads on during stretching lines that the focus goes away.
That's the time when you've got to be supremely hyper
sensitive to the focus, making sure they are. I've just
never understood if CJ's concerned them coming out of coming
(02:15:06):
out these two weeks getting ready for an.
Speaker 7 (02:15:08):
Open it was the Rams and your feature games, right.
Speaker 9 (02:15:12):
I have a hard time of why, why in the
world was a practice week not good or your concerns
coming out of it. You better fix those quick, because
I don't know many good teams that practice crappy. I
don't know if that was the case, but when your
quarterback saying he's concerned about the week practice, it tells
me that when he left the practice field on a
Wednesday or thursdays like, something's not right here, man, And
(02:15:35):
yet they were still going in to score with a
chance to score and win this game.
Speaker 7 (02:15:39):
And it wasn't right practice. You better get it.
Speaker 9 (02:15:42):
So practice practice ain't just the Alan iverson of are
we talking practice? We are actually talking practice in the
NFL because you don't want to get that feeling. And
you can also have great practice weeks and get your
ass handed to you because the other team's pretty good too,
but you just can't. I hate when that creeps in
week one. We're not supposed to be tired. You had
(02:16:03):
two weeks.
Speaker 7 (02:16:04):
You're not supposed to be You're supposed to have a
good price.
Speaker 9 (02:16:06):
It's the friggin' Rams that that that right Now would
people say going into the week, who's got a better
chance to get Super Bowl? The Rams are the Texans
in their conference. Most people depointed the Rams, and you
had a chance to go in there building and take
it from them. And unforced airs, self inflicted problems, stupid penalties,
and a couple of and let's make no mistake, we
went into this, what do we say, Oh, the Rams
(02:16:27):
defenses do? They will dominate your ass if you're not careful,
and they're did. And that push at the quarterback position
won't get any easier because you're running into some defense
and your throughout your season that are going.
Speaker 7 (02:16:39):
To be brutal to deal with.
Speaker 9 (02:16:41):
Oh yeah, this is just in You play a first
place schedule again, and those first place teams are usually
pretty good, yep. And they get after it. And so
it's a bummer that it got away. They're still a
good team. They're still going to be the best team
of the division, I believe. But after one game, we
shouldn't be questioned and the things were questioned. I understand
getting beat, but you shouldn't be q question the things
you're questioning. And he's sure as hell coming into the
(02:17:03):
first week, this ain't week nine where you're tired. This
is week one, and wonder what happened on the practice?
Remember what I told you my concern was with that
offensive line last year is how do I want to
know how they practiced? And apparently not very damn well,
or they would have the same offensive line coach and
Tunsell would still be here. So apparently they didn't practice
real well or meet real well on a consistent basis.
(02:17:25):
You better nip that in the bud right now because
it looked like a team who didn't practice well offensively,
especially that.
Speaker 8 (02:17:32):
Group too, because you need them all working in unison
and they were anything but yesterday. Mike and Humbole see
you right there, and now you want to get in
on the Strows Stros Texans all available to you. Maybe
we'll get into that Astros lineup thing that I threw
out there last hour as we continue here. It is

Speaker 7 (02:19:34):
Here Mike and Humble wants to weigh in. Mike, good morning.
Speaker 4 (02:19:37):
Oh yeah, I got I got tech and one astros
and one tech and for crying out, lab put out
to be at the lead off position thempaign. Then albare is.
Oh and one other thing. I didn't get to see
the game yesterday. But why was uh Fromeran and seventh?
(02:20:00):
I thought Garcia started.
Speaker 7 (02:20:03):
No, Robert pitched yesterday. Garcia is gonna go tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (02:20:06):
Oh okay, I didn't understand. I didn't know, but uh okay.
And with the Texans, I did oh everything Larry said
except one thing. With the offensive line in question. Take
strauts ass out of the pocket and let him use
this athletic ability to create plays. And for crying out loud,
(02:20:31):
they need to pass pass the ball more. And on defense,
we need to strengthen our past defense. Run defense is
number one in the league in my books. All right,
and I'll hang up and listen to y'all guys.
Speaker 8 (02:20:45):
I appreciate Mike. I mean with Stroud yesterday. Yeah, hey,
appreciate it. With Stroud yesterday, he did run the ball
five times. I mean one was the last time we
saw a stat line that had that out of them. Yeah,
I mean it wasn't for a lack of effort. He
just got sacked three times in the game yesterday.
Speaker 9 (02:21:03):
I think he's start a little more designed run. You're
never going to have lamar, Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Get him on the edge. And also, I'm a big
believer and if a guy's got athleticism, and CJ was
a good basketball player as well, so he's got good feet.
Is I'm big on changing the launch point in my
quarterback because in this system right now, the launch point
(02:21:24):
is between the tackles when you're playing. But we'll just
go back and watch the tape of the game last
night between those two quarterbacks, to try to tell me
where their launch point is every single snap, you can't
find it. And he said, well, look at guys like Marino. Yeah,
well Marino couldn't move. His launch point was right in
the pocket. But by the time you got to him,
the ball was out four times. It's none of your
(02:21:45):
damn business, Dan, Yeah, and I appreciate if you stayed
out of my personal affairs.
Speaker 7 (02:21:49):
What's that Marino? Oh there you go? Hey, you got
any more of that gum?
Speaker 12 (02:21:52):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (02:21:52):
Yeah, yeah, none of your damn business, Dan a Ventura.
But you're a weird guy, so I would like to
see I would like to see a little more bandwidth
to it as well. But the key is they're going
to make a living with him delivering the football in
the pocket. That's who they are, running play action, getting
a run game going, and defending. Defending to the point
where you get him some short fields to make it easy.
(02:22:14):
But it won't matter what you do with the the
get him on the edge or in the pocket, or
design runs. If the line of scrimmage is constantly in
your backfield.
Speaker 8 (02:22:25):
He wants to throw from the pocket too. That's the
way he was at Ohio State. Would he take off,
would he make plays with his feet? Sure he would,
But it's going to be a this is a last
ing to beat you for the pocket I'm taking off.
I mean, you know, and I know that even some
people last night watching that Sunday night game. Oh, I
mean you know, but look at look at Josh Allen
(02:22:45):
taking off thirteen times. Here's a major difference. Josh Allen's
like six five, two fifty. He can take those hits
more than CJ. Stroud can.
Speaker 7 (02:22:52):
Here's another thing.
Speaker 9 (02:22:54):
Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, their offenses are designed to
do this. They they'll read option if they run quarterback
power down on the red zone regularly with Josh Allen.
Speaker 7 (02:23:05):
So, but this is part of it.
Speaker 9 (02:23:06):
If you try to get him involved in that now
you're trying to take, you're trying to turn him into
something that is not his SPA listen.
Speaker 5 (02:23:14):
C J.
Speaker 9 (02:23:14):
Stroud is not a sc A run designed run guy.
He is a pocket extender coming off play action and
or where it starts to the pocket. They can extend
the pocket all they want if they can't throw between
tackles and let him set his feet and everything's got
to be the quick game. It's going to be a
long season, so they've got to do that that listen,
he delivers the ball plenty five from there, and he's
(02:23:36):
got great, good enough athleticism to escape and do it.
And if you're going to design runs, it's on that
third and one pole. Get to the edge, get five
yards and get down. But he's going to make most
his hay in the run game with his feet on
plays at breakdown. But they could change his law point
launch point on play action, boots and stuff that's off
play action.
Speaker 7 (02:23:56):
That's how you build it in.
Speaker 9 (02:23:57):
Give him that run pass option out of it, and
I think you could probably expand that because he is
athletic enough.
Speaker 7 (02:24:02):
But I got news for him. Make no mistake, you're
not gonna win that.
Speaker 9 (02:24:05):
This offense isn't gonna look like Buffalo and Baltimore's because
those two guys have made a living that's part of
their whole defined system. This system is take a look
at what forty nine ers round. Matt Stafford tries to
extend the play a little bit. All you gotta do
is look at those guys in those systems. Perty's not
meant to scramble. He's off schedule, he's not flagging play
(02:24:28):
action in there and pulling it and going and running
off the RPO six seven, eight times a game. You
get my point. So while it's there and you can
use it to your advantage. It really comes down to this,
how stout are you with the five guys up front?
And if it doesn't get any better CJ. Stroud's Superman
game won't matter over the course of seventeen of them.
(02:24:48):
Defense will be fine, and it is one game. Let's
see how they progress in the next two or three weeks.
Offensive line and settle in, but you can't keep you
can't play checkers with these guys off both this. You
know we're playing black mole where this guy's this guy
you got to find him and hope you get healthy.
But it also goes to what kind of backups do
you have that you expect because they have to be
prepared to play when you think they'd have to be
(02:25:10):
prepared to play. But if they were, then they probably
would have played yesterday. For how bad it's still coming
out of Week one, self inflicted errors in the offensive
line is still a heavy weakness right now, and it
looks like you just had.
Speaker 7 (02:25:23):
A continuation of last season. Honestly is what it did
goes back to your concerns about Stroud in the practice
field this week. That bothers me.
Speaker 8 (02:25:29):
Yeah, I mean it's it's that, But it's just also
too what what was a good win last year from
this team that you came out of it seeing man,
you know what? That was a really good football team
you beat?
Speaker 7 (02:25:40):
What was a good win?
Speaker 9 (02:25:41):
There's got to be some. I'd have to go back
and think about the schedule. There's got to be a
couple when you don't win ten or eleven game, ten
games the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (02:25:47):
I mean maybe that was it against against the Chargers. Yeah. Defensively,
I can give you a lot of them. Offensive I can.
I can give you a lot of good defensive games. Offensively,
you'd have to sift to you talk from start to
finish where it was like, Okay, this team's real. There
wasn't many of them, but they're gonna need They're gonna
need more and more importantly, I'm gonna tell you, we say,
(02:26:07):
is the quarterback goes so go for this team, it's
the offensive line is gonna take them where they want
to go or they're not gonna get where they want
to go when they finally scored a second half touchdown
last year.
Speaker 9 (02:26:18):
Yeah, they're too good to get shut out end zone
wise on the team, but again self inflicted errors and
can't get walked back into the quarterback and you've got
to create a new line of scrimmage. Unfortunately, too many
times in the last two years they've played on the
wrong side of the line of scrimmage. If you're a
Texans fan, quick prayer here, name of the Father, Son,
Holy Spirit, Amen.
Speaker 7 (02:26:37):
Lord. All we asked for is just some offense in
this town. That's all we asked for. That's what you're asking.
There's just just some offense. Can somebody please do it?
That's all we asked for. Consistent offense, and your name,
humbly pray Amen. Amen.
Speaker 8 (02:26:50):
Yeah, that's it. There you go, throwing one up John
on the northwest side. See they're speaking of something that
Mike brought up about Jose Altuve. The numbers aren't pretty
and it ain't pretty for a lot of the lineup.
And you know something we talked about with Steve Sparks
will pay that off right here. It is a Shawn

Speaker 2 (02:29:22):
The Sean Salisbury Show continued.
Speaker 8 (02:29:25):
Minike had brought up the point about jose Al Tuvey
moving him back to the leadoff spot. Are you aware
in his last twenty four games he's hitting one sixty
eight and oh, by the way, here in the month
of September he's got twenty eight at bats, Sean, he's
hitting one oh seven. Yeah, so you want that leading
off well and plus thanks, Pain has been really good there.
(02:29:47):
I mean, I know Al twove over the course of
his time, but they figured it's the best the way
Pain is rolling. You want to get him those at bats,
and you want to get your do on in the
two hold. You need more pats well, I mean you
want him up with the most RBI chances.
Speaker 9 (02:29:59):
And that's why Steve made the point about Jake Myers
in the ninth right on base so at the tool
you get a chance with him and paying you to
drive and run.
Speaker 8 (02:30:06):
Thank you for saying that, because that actually gets me
to my next point. I need to go back and
see where Myers batted on Saturday. But when I saw
the lineup come out, and I wasn't so jazzed about
Christian Walker and Yaner Diaz batting back to back, but
where they were seven and eight in the order, they
both combined to go four for ten with five runs
batted in of the eleven runs you had that night.
(02:30:28):
And then let's fast forward to yesterday, which, by the way, Myers.
Speaker 7 (02:30:32):
Only bat at ninth, So you had it.
Speaker 8 (02:30:34):
You had the lineup set up the way that you
just said it right there of having Meyer's bat ninth.
So then let's go to yesterday and a little bit
of a reconfiguration of the lineup. You moved Myers up
to six. You still got Diaz there at seven, but
you had Walker batting fifth.
Speaker 7 (02:30:50):
Like I get matchups and all of that.
Speaker 8 (02:30:52):
And Joe, true to your words of what you just
told this guy back in February at FanFest, you don't
want to have a million different lineups. That's fine. It worked,
you scored eleven runs. You hadn't been doing that a
lot lately. Stick with it into it doesn't work.
Speaker 9 (02:31:06):
How many times have we gone five straight games with
the lineup this year? I can't same hitting order. Hell,
five games, I'll even remember two or three.
Speaker 7 (02:31:15):
I wonder why that is.
Speaker 9 (02:31:17):
Again, I understand what Steve's saying about matchups, but guys
are struggling.
Speaker 7 (02:31:22):
Sometimes off days, scheduled off days. I'll always have a listen.
One day, we go, well, we'll see you the next day.
We'll see you the next day, and we'll see you
the next day.
Speaker 9 (02:31:35):
I I'd rather have it, or somebody has to tap
me on the shoulder and I got to check the
lineup card, as opposed to I got to check the
lineup card before somebody tasks me on the shoulder. Because
I'm not sure I'm playing today. That's I don't know,
And I just maybe I, like I said, I think
different about it. I just don't understand. I've been one
of those. If you have success, keep going to the
well until they stop it or you stop yourself. It's
(02:31:57):
in football too, if you're running tall sweep and they
can't stop. But why in the world you quit running it.
There's a problem here. If they can't stop it, run it.
When's the last time nicoole got it, just got another catch,
just made another kitch. Can't stop it in the world.
When you go to him student body right. Well, I
was a big part of meaning, big part being I've
lived it with them. And when Marcus Allen was our
(02:32:19):
tailback and Bruce Matthews, Roy Foster and Don mostmar all
first rounders are on our starting offensive line, we could
tell you we were running student body right and we'd
still run it and get yards.
Speaker 8 (02:32:29):
Why because they weren't good enough to stop it, your buddy.
Most people around here are gonna have no idea who
this is. But he used to be on C and
his name's John Frickey, and I did a high school
game with him once and he called a student body sweep,
student body sweep to the right, and I was like, WHOA.
I was like, that's a that's an interesting play call there.
He was like, oh, the old John McKay days at USC.
Speaker 7 (02:32:50):
We didn't call it. We called it. We called it toss.
Speaker 9 (02:32:53):
But if student body right explained it, we didn't need
to call it sweep, student body right, student body left,
check with me, twenty five power, twenty eight to twenty
eight toss and Marcus.
Speaker 7 (02:33:02):
Well back there.
Speaker 9 (02:33:02):
If they overloaded, one side would go the other and
it didn't matter. I mean, I think at one point
in time. We were playing Notre Dame Marcus's fresh my
freshman year, Marcus's Heisman Trophy winning year, and I think
we ran it like fourteen straight times.
Speaker 7 (02:33:14):
We ran the football because it was and that's Notre Dame.
It was always good.
Speaker 9 (02:33:18):
Stout and we just kept runing because they could stop it.
So same thing in baseball is my favorite stout Yeah,
stout we were. I mean they're stout inside, and we
just kept playing major Division one football. Yeah, they probably
are pretty stout. Some some look more stout than they performed,
but Notre Dame performed it as well. But we just
kept running it. And I just don't understand. I listen,
if it takes the same lineup for twelve straight days,
(02:33:39):
fifteen straight and if you have one struggle day, that's okay,
everybody has them.
Speaker 7 (02:33:42):
You could still put.
Speaker 9 (02:33:44):
Them back in the same way if they've the majority success.
I guess you're just I think that you're probably searching
for lightning in a bottle right now. But if I
get it in one game, I'm gonna play it out
until I don't get.
Speaker 7 (02:33:55):
It the next. Does that make sense? I mean, like,
what's so much? Okay?
Speaker 8 (02:33:58):
So you faced a left yesterday. Great, But like, what's
so much of a different matchup that you take guys
out of spots that had been struggling and they finally
found some success, and then you move them again.
Speaker 9 (02:34:11):
Sometimes sometimes that's the time when analytics matter because it's evidence.
But the other part of it is sometimes you just
got to go with I don't care if it's left
to your right, here's my best players and here's my
best lineup. Let's make the pitcher come to us as
opposed to.
Speaker 7 (02:34:23):
The At a certain point, man, it's.
Speaker 9 (02:34:26):
An inconsistent hitting team. It's going to exist all year long.
You're going to have to have that. Hopefully the hitting
streak comes when it's in serious time, when you're clinching
a playoff or in a long series, or even in
a short series. We jump out and get some runs
in a three gamer if you're in one. But it's
just this is who they are this year, and you're
just going to have to live with the inconsistency and
(02:34:46):
hope that you run into a team that's having their
woes hitting the baseball when your pitching comes through as
it has.
Speaker 7 (02:34:51):
All your life.
Speaker 9 (02:34:52):
Well, hey, Joe, I mean you know the the spreadsheet
right there, says the expected batting average.
Speaker 7 (02:34:57):
Of that line up today. Their nerds, not all of them,
most of them are not okay.
Speaker 9 (02:35:02):
But I mean, you know, sometimes you know what you're saying. Yeah,
you go a little nineteen twenties radio right here telling
our stories.
Speaker 7 (02:35:08):
Sometimes I like your style. Sometimes we have the door.
Speaker 9 (02:35:10):
Sometimes you can put the piece of paper in your hand,
in your back pocket. At times, especially when it comes
to a lineup, I don't know. I just want my
best nine every day. Yeah, and pitching, you're gonna you've
been getting it the other ones. I just want to
get it and get them comfortable. And let's hope that
that streak they go on starts pretty quick. With eighteen
games to go.
Speaker 8 (02:35:27):
John on the northwest side will get you involved in
the conversation and we join them seven one three two
one two five seven ninety against seven one three two
one two five seven ninety As it is Sean Salisbury
show here Sports Talk seven ninety. But really fast, and
I mean really fast. I want to tell you about
my friends over at Centergenics. So visit number eight is
(02:35:50):
coming up today. Last week I had my six week checkup,
got the blood work drawn, all of that so when
I head over there right after the show, and they're
gonna check my numbers and show me, Hey, this is
what's going on with your te levels, this is where
your cholesterol is, all of these different types of things,
and we're going to put together a new game plan.
There's that word again, the game plan. But Centergenics and
(02:36:12):
the Loads Center have been changing lives for men across
the country for over a decade.
Speaker 7 (02:36:17):
And I mean, I've told you about it. You hear
it my voice.
Speaker 8 (02:36:20):
I'm more energetic, my mood is better, everything else is
better since I started going to see the folks over
at Centergenics and Low T Center. And I'm not getting
as tired as often. I'm not experiencing a lack of motivation.
As a matter of fact, I hit the gym almost
every single week last week, and I'm already starting off
on the right foot today right after I go to Cynergenics.
It's a physical and mental change that can happen to
(02:36:43):
your body as you get older, and you want to
be able to stave that off with TRT testosterone replacement therapy.
Speaker 7 (02:36:50):
Don't just take my word for it.
Speaker 8 (02:36:52):
I mean you probably know people who are patients of
Centergenics and Low C Center, and you're gonna hear comments

or Tuesday whenever it might be. You're saying to yourself, yeah,
I'd like one of those brown boxes sent to the house.

Ninety John on the North swat without John on the
northwest Side real quick.
Speaker 15 (02:38:18):
Hey man doing it?
Speaker 5 (02:38:19):
Look?
Speaker 15 (02:38:19):
Man, you know Searan and Dan that game yesterday. I
wanted us to win, But man, I thought that Duram
is a good team and so Texas. I thought he
was even the match.
Speaker 4 (02:38:29):
I thought he could have win either way. You know,
the receiver that talked.
Speaker 15 (02:38:34):
To old Brownie whatever ran the ball in that smart
line back or whatever that decide instead of technically in him,
knocked the ball out his hand. You know, he made
the play, man. But what I really saw was it
being the first game. I see potential for the Texans
to play a lot better. I mean, you know, they
lost fourteen to nine. I mean I wouldn't have wanted
(02:38:56):
to beat Baltimore last night. Look how Baltimore and lost.
Speaker 7 (02:39:00):
Yeah, we'll go all right, see John, appreciate it. John.
You're right, John, They're gonna play better football. There's no doubt.
Speaker 9 (02:39:05):
You just would have liked to see him want to
know and said, oh and one because they had a chance.
One got away that they could have stole on the road.
We set our prayer for offense. That's all we can do.
It's in God's hands.
