Speaker 1: The Shawn Salisbury Show continued, I said, this is the
Speaker 1: year they get upset in the divisional round. I don't
Speaker 1: know who is he gonna be by, but I just
Speaker 1: feel like this is going to be the year. Well,
Speaker 1: here we are and it's the UH Texans taking on Chiefs.
Speaker 1: Tell me why defense? That's why the wide receivers for
Speaker 1: the Texans are not better. I'm sorry, the wide receivers
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs are not better than the defensive backs
Speaker 1: for the Texans. Right now, who the offense do you
Speaker 1: trust more of the Chiefs Because it's the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: He liked the.
Speaker 2: Chiefs offense more. But you think that the matchup can
Speaker 2: favor the Texans.
Speaker 1: I think the defensive matchups favored the Texans with their
Speaker 1: defensive ends meaning Will Anderson and Daniel Hunter.
Speaker 3: I think Christian Harris.
Speaker 1: I think is Zis al Shaier are going to do
Speaker 1: a really good job, can do a really good job
Speaker 1: against Travis Kelsey limiting him. I think the interior will
Speaker 1: be able to stop the run. And then you got
Speaker 1: Derek Stinglan Kmaro last year are playing really good football
Speaker 1: right now?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: So then now flip it, who do you like better?
Speaker 2: The Texans offense or the Chiefs defense.
Speaker 3: Chris Jones is really damn good. So I would say.
Speaker 1: I would favor the Chiefs defense, but I think they
Speaker 1: can make the Texans offense can make enough plays to win.
Speaker 2: So you think that the Texans offense is got a
Speaker 2: bigger gap of success against the Chiefs defense is the
Speaker 2: Chiefs offense does against the Texans defense. You think the
Speaker 2: Texans offense is closer.
Speaker 3: Man, you are breaking this war. Well, no, and I am.
Speaker 3: So you think the Texans offense I know.
Speaker 2: And when people get predictions, not just like even on
Speaker 2: these end, people let them off and then not tell
Speaker 2: I'm just looking for a reason why. So it gives
Speaker 2: us another perspective to look at. Yeah, you think the
Speaker 2: Texans offense is got a bigger distance of success over
Speaker 2: the Chiefs defense than the Kansas City offense does to
Speaker 2: the Texans defense.
Speaker 1: Yes, and that's because it's your difference. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that's the difference.
Speaker 2: So you think the Texans defense is better than the
Speaker 2: Chiefs defense, I do right now, right now. And you
Speaker 2: think that the offense of the Chiefs is better than
Speaker 2: the Texans. Yet you think the gap, what's what's bigger gap?
Speaker 2: Chiefs offense over to Texans offense or Texans defense over
Speaker 2: Chiefs defense.
Speaker 1: I think just because of Patrick Mahomes playing in January,
Speaker 1: they have a bigger gap over the I think the
Speaker 1: offense is a bigger gap for the Chiefs over the Texans.
Speaker 3: Just because offensive the Texans is over the chief Chiefs. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you're still picking the who the Chiefs because
Speaker 2: you like the grind it out, you think it's gonna
Speaker 2: be I mean you're still picking Texas because you think
Speaker 2: they can hang around.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think they can hang around, and I think offensively
Speaker 1: they can make some sort of plays down the stretch
Speaker 1: to win the ball game. Texas, if the Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: gets the ball with two minutes left, game over. You're
Speaker 1: not beating Patrick Mahomes with two minutes left. It's like
Speaker 1: Tom Brady when he got the ball the last Well,
Speaker 1: of course, the public everybody loves the Chiefs in this game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody does.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this TV in front of us right here has
Speaker 2: all four guys picking the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: But I look at, excuse me, I look at are
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Who's who's got better linebackers Chiefs or Texans
Speaker 1: better secondary Texans Chiefs, Chiefs Chiefs linebacking corps with Carl
Speaker 1: Loftis and that they're they're pretty good, man.
Speaker 2: It's it's equal. There's not a that six and one
Speaker 2: half dozen the other who's better defensive line interior text
Speaker 2: chief Chiefs, Uh, perimeter, the the edge rushers Texans.
Speaker 3: And then secondary you already said it.
Speaker 2: Kicker at six and one half in the other punter
Speaker 2: pretty similar. Quarterback advantage Mahomes wide receivers, team speed, them physical, big.
Speaker 3: Uh, but huh.
Speaker 2: Their offense is better run game mixing over the check
Speaker 2: and and the sama not huge, but but mixing's mixing's
Speaker 2: better than both of those guys are. And now now
Speaker 2: Pacheco runs like a man possessed when he's going. That's hard,
Speaker 2: But so does Joe tied end advantage. Travis Kelsey, right,
Speaker 2: no doubt. So there there's I mean, there's advantages, and
Speaker 2: you can do the checklist of Okay, this team has
Speaker 2: this advantage, just sent this advantage, but then you got
Speaker 2: to also get into the other things like handling, pressure,
Speaker 2: playing and inclement weather, cold, the January and the intensity
Speaker 2: and the way he Reid Steve Spagnolo right. Coaching advantage
Speaker 2: Chiefs just because they've been in not that this isn't
Speaker 2: This young version of the Texans isn't good, but the
Speaker 2: coaching advantage is Chiefs. They've been doing this a long
Speaker 2: time and they've got a ton of experience over there,
Speaker 2: more than this team does.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just think it's going to be a gritty,
Speaker 1: trying not sound so cliche, but it's going to be
Speaker 1: more defense than offense. Put it to you that way,
Speaker 1: and I just I the way that I feel about it.
Speaker 1: Of course, the Chiefs have the edge. They've been there,
Speaker 1: they've done that. Twenty three days off is a long
Speaker 1: long time. But if there's one quarterback that overcome I'm
Speaker 1: saying it's an overcome it but can play, well, that's
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: Wasn't Andy Reid Mahomes. Once again, it bears repeating as
Speaker 2: I told you that Andy Reid. Very few people in
Speaker 2: the history of this game have come out of a
Speaker 2: bye week and won more games than Andy Reid has.
Speaker 3: They will be ready to play.
Speaker 2: Yeahs now, whether it's a struggle in the first few minutes, whatever,
Speaker 2: they will be ready to play. And the veteran quarterback
Speaker 2: who doesn't live in structure, I worry about teams that
Speaker 2: are structured that.
Speaker 3: Boom boom boom.
Speaker 2: This is the way we when I say precise, because
Speaker 2: precise is dynamic to equals dynamic, but structure. See, the
Speaker 2: chiefs are very precise in what they do. But it's
Speaker 2: like organized chaos. Does that make sense. It's not like
Speaker 2: it's they're not buttoned up. They're button up on discipline
Speaker 2: and all that, But I'm talking about when you're thinking
Speaker 2: and you're not thinking, oh, this team, because you know
Speaker 2: what we'll do around the back shovel pass, we'll do
Speaker 2: you know, they'll do stuff that's not conventional, and they
Speaker 2: make it look like it's supposed to be conventional because
Speaker 2: they make it look so easy.
Speaker 3: But they are not.
Speaker 2: They operate in chaos all the time, they'd say. So
Speaker 2: it's almost like the organized chaos is where they're They're there,
Speaker 2: they live, They're not that you know, remember when the
Speaker 2: Saints and show they were so boom boom boom manning structure, Right,
Speaker 2: this is this is a little more this is a
Speaker 2: little more spontaneous party. Then sit down seven course meal team.
Speaker 2: You know, here's what we're having at this and here's
Speaker 2: the sub Make sure you use the right fork then,
Speaker 2: and I don't care what fork you use, grable with
Speaker 2: your hands.
Speaker 3: If that's what you want to do, that's who the
Speaker 3: Chiefs are.
Speaker 2: Yet with Andy Reid, who is precise and dynamic, it's
Speaker 2: a great offset because can you imagine if Andy Reid
Speaker 2: tried to put a governor on the way they poach
Speaker 2: their football game.
Speaker 3: He won't do that, saying he'll never do that.
Speaker 2: There's a there's a structure the teams that I'd worry
Speaker 2: about the timing of a pastor who has worked on
Speaker 2: structure and on schedule all the time. This team maybe
Speaker 2: you take a throw or two, but when you're an
Speaker 2: off schedule, organized chaos team anyway that wins all the time,
Speaker 2: and you know how to win. And they know how
Speaker 2: to win one scoring close games because they've been doing
Speaker 2: it all year. They find ways to We've seen it
Speaker 2: a million times. They had no business winning and they
Speaker 2: still find a way to win. Yet they do have
Speaker 2: business because why they do close I mean they really
Speaker 2: if you want Mariano Rivera, the Chiefs are it. So
Speaker 2: I'm really anxious to see how they do it. But
Speaker 2: I'd be far more worried if it was one of
Speaker 2: those they relied on every little small thing they can
Speaker 2: get away with. Now the great teams Brian, even though
Speaker 2: it's organized cants, they still do the.
Speaker 3: Little details so good, so well. But it just put
Speaker 3: it this way, it's you know what it is.
Speaker 2: It's the guy who's who's hair or the guy whose
Speaker 2: hair is a little messed up, right, throwing the ponytail go.
Speaker 2: It's not they stood in front of the mirror and
Speaker 2: got themselves dressed and ready to go. I mean, they
Speaker 2: can look good in the suit, but the time might
Speaker 2: be a little crooked. But the end result is got
Speaker 2: the girl. The party was good, and I gave my
Speaker 2: speech right right, That's who they are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just think back to excuse me, I think
Speaker 1: back to they're.
Speaker 2: A well oiled machine that just kind of gets off
Speaker 2: the beaten pass sometimes.
Speaker 1: I think for the Texans last year at this time,
Speaker 1: what do we talk about the Ravens, Rokwan Smith, Patrick Queen,
Speaker 1: Ronald Darby, Kyle Hamilton, Kyle van Noy, Like that defense
Speaker 1: was stout. Man, They're going into Baltimore. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: you still got to put up with Lamar Jackson running
Speaker 1: the football, and you just kind of felt like even
Speaker 1: going into the game, the Texans were going to be overwhelmed,
Speaker 1: which they were. They got beat thirty four to ten.
Speaker 1: This year, they made the roster better. The defense has
Speaker 1: been flying around. They don't miss a lot of tackles
Speaker 1: again tackle. I just feel like the optimism is a
Speaker 1: little bit better just because of the way that their
Speaker 1: defense plays.
Speaker 3: And if there's a defense.
Speaker 1: With ends and edge rushers like they have right now,
Speaker 1: the Texans I feel like they can contain.
Speaker 3: Patrick mahonmes, what.
Speaker 2: Would you feel like if they had a crappy ass
Speaker 2: offensive game last week? Is still pulled it out right
Speaker 2: due they forced interception. Yeah, and let's say they would
Speaker 2: have won in a sluggish three three point game, let's
Speaker 2: say sixteen to thirteen. They got four turnovers, just couldn't
Speaker 2: you know, couldn't score in a red zone, didn't get
Speaker 2: a defensive score that their defense kicked ass, but the
Speaker 2: offense floundered, but they still won. How would you be
Speaker 2: feeling going into this week? My optimism will not be
Speaker 2: as high. In truth is, you've known all along who
Speaker 2: the defense is. Your optimism is high because the offense
Speaker 2: in the second half looked like they could play it
Speaker 2: after a broken play changed the whole course, the whole
Speaker 2: course of it, so that that's really what this comes down.
Speaker 2: Because the defense has been pretty reliable the whole time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and last week they kicked ass and they play really
Speaker 2: good against good quarterbacks. The key here is that the
Speaker 2: reason why your optimisms through the roof is because of
Speaker 2: the thing that everybody wants. It sells tickets, offense, offense. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there you go.
Speaker 1: Seven one, three, seven ninety is the number to join.
Speaker 1: Will continue to talk about these Texans next
