WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's go. This is the Sean Salisbury Show for another season,

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and U of H starts their tournament play today against

3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:12.759
<v Speaker 1>SIU Edwardsville. Coverage is gonna start at twelve forty five

4
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>over on KPRC nine fifty. We were talking about the

5
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Cam Robinson signing yesterday by the Texans, and I mean

6
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:22.760
<v Speaker 1>something that you had mentioned last segment, Shawn of talking

7
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>about what he means to this group now, and you

8
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.559
<v Speaker 1>feel like that this is a much better group than

9
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>it was a year ago.

10
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.759
<v Speaker 2>Just take a disaster, not much. I'm not afraid to

11
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.560
<v Speaker 2>line up with this group today. It's gonna get better.

12
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:37.679
<v Speaker 2>I just think it's more consistent, and I think it's

13
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>more versatile.

14
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:40.799
<v Speaker 1>Because I mean, you've got you know what you have

15
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.439
<v Speaker 1>in Titus Howard, you know what you think, you know

16
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>what you have in Blake Fisher. I mean it feels

17
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 1>like to me as we sit at this moment, I mean,

18
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>let's just go left to right. I think we can

19
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 1>agree that Cam Robinson, you bring him here, he's going

20
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>to be your left tackle, left guard. Maybe you keep

21
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 1>Titus Howard there because I mean it also starts to

22
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>show how much do you believe in Blake Fisher, The

23
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>question for me becomes, who's your starting center, who's your

24
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>right guard? And I haven't even mentioned Lake and Tomlinson,

25
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 1>and I also hadn't even mentioned at Ingram a couple

26
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>of other guys that you brought in this offseason, and

27
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>it'll be interesting to see how they handle the center spot.

28
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.239
<v Speaker 1>Do they believe in Jarrett Patterson or I mean David

29
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Andrews is still out there, Boss is his nickname, and

30
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.079
<v Speaker 1>played for so long up there in New England. A

31
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>little bit of an undersized guy, but somebody that absolutely

32
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 1>gained the trust and had control of that offensive line

33
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and won a Super Bowl or two with the New

34
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.680
<v Speaker 1>England Patriots. There is familiarity with Coole Popovich and with

35
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.359
<v Speaker 1>Nick Kayley from their time up there, and Nick Asario

36
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>obviously knows him. So I mean, would that necessarily be

37
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 1>a move that would surprise you if the Texans went

38
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.719
<v Speaker 1>that route? And I mean, it's nothing against Jarrett Patterson,

39
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 1>it's nothing against Ju Scruggs, but it's saying we need

40
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 1>to be able to get this thing going early and

41
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>often and not have to wait on those guys to

42
00:01:58.480 --> 00:01:59.599
<v Speaker 1>be able to get us to that point.

43
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:01.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just if.

44
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.120
<v Speaker 2>There's no doubt what he may lack now after being

45
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>with a decade or so in the league in David Andrews,

46
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 2>but you're gonna get smart, solid play, and the familiarity

47
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>does matter when somebody's when you're trying to bring somebody in.

48
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 2>And I think he still wants to play. If I

49
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 2>believe I saw that he's ready to still play, the

50
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>question is where and.

51
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 3>What value does he bring to you?

52
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.759
<v Speaker 2>And do you believe that your center's position's going to

53
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 2>grow if the guys around him get better, are going

54
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.159
<v Speaker 2>to grow. That guy is so important and directing traffic,

55
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>and you know, depending on what they're gonna let c J.

56
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Stroud Do I like my quarterback calling the front? So

57
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>I just do. I want my quarterback to understand everything.

58
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:45.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't wanted to hear it from somebody else. I

59
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 2>want now. If all of a sudden, the center says no, no, no,

60
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:49.840
<v Speaker 2>let's go Mike right, Mike Wright said to Mike left,

61
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.560
<v Speaker 2>because he feels like that. But my quarterback can see

62
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.159
<v Speaker 2>secondary blitzes. It's hard in the three point stance or

63
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 2>sitting down a two point stance looking around for those

64
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:57.479
<v Speaker 2>centers to do it.

65
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.800
<v Speaker 3>But you do need one. Listen, pay Manning.

66
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Probably the most cerebral quarterback we've ever had, who understood everything,

67
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.000
<v Speaker 2>probably more than the guys he was were coaching him

68
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>and defending him. But he's still at times they leaned

69
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 2>on each other Saturday. It's good to have two as

70
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 2>long as you don't there's not a battle of chefs

71
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 2>in the kitchen, right But Stroud now going into year three,

72
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.080
<v Speaker 2>this is the time when he needs to take that

73
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 2>next step of let me get I can direct it

74
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.000
<v Speaker 2>because listen, I don't if I'm in a stance, I

75
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know how what he's comfortable doing in hot reads

76
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 2>and side adjustments. You want to make it as simple

77
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:32.840
<v Speaker 2>as you can if you're the coordinator, but you also

78
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.400
<v Speaker 2>do not want to play up hill. You want to

79
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:35.879
<v Speaker 2>go into a game if I got a strong safety

80
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:37.599
<v Speaker 2>blitz and I'm running a toss sweep into I got

81
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>nobody to block him. That's hard for the senator to

82
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>look and say is a strong safety on a line

83
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:43.719
<v Speaker 2>of scrimmage as he's seven yards off, it's easy for

84
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 2>my quarterback. So that's another level to this. So yeah,

85
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 2>anytime I can add depth with the player like you

86
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>mentioned and Andrews. Of course I would, but you just

87
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.159
<v Speaker 2>went through a bunch of names. Now, somebody needs to

88
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 2>convince me if they disagree with it, that today why

89
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 2>last year's offensive line is better than the people just today?

90
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.199
<v Speaker 2>Why it's better or deeper than it was last year. Now,

91
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 2>and you mentioned Titus Hoar and Fisher, you have to

92
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.280
<v Speaker 2>figure out if Cam rob it tells you they're not

93
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 2>even overly comfortable with Titus Hoard being the full time

94
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 2>left tackle, or they wouldn't have brought another guy. They

95
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 2>bring Cam Robinson here to go to sit and watch,

96
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.600
<v Speaker 2>they expect him to play. So with that, if you're

97
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 2>Titus Hoard, now you got to decide, all right, who

98
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.639
<v Speaker 2>gives me the best chance at right tackle. Is it

99
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 2>a guy who's a little more veteranan Titus Hoard or

100
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.920
<v Speaker 2>is it a young player? Or who is my swing

101
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.079
<v Speaker 2>guy that is better inside and who's more comfortable in

102
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 2>a left handed stance playing left guard? And if that's

103
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 2>the case, then move them right now is the time

104
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 2>you figure that out. But you know your center. You

105
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 2>gotta find it. So in truth, there's three guys right

106
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 2>now that three positions. You're saying, well, good, but who's

107
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not a matter if they can play the position.

108
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Its a matter who's better at one. You gotta get

109
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:56.240
<v Speaker 2>rid of the weakness. You got to bring the weakness

110
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>closer to the strength. So if a guy loves playing

111
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 2>right tackle and can't stand playing left guard although he

112
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.680
<v Speaker 2>can play it, and the other guy likes playing right tackle,

113
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.680
<v Speaker 2>but say I'm good at left guard, feels comfortable in

114
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 2>a different type of stance because it is a different stance,

115
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 2>one different leg back, the whole thing, then you stick

116
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:11.839
<v Speaker 2>him in there.

117
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:13.439
<v Speaker 3>So that's what they got to figure out.

118
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't necessarily think it's can they play, it's where's

119
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.560
<v Speaker 2>our best chance to win with the five guys. But

120
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:21.480
<v Speaker 2>you just mentioned you got three or four guys. You

121
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 2>say versaally, can he play left guard? Does he play

122
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 2>right tackle? And now you've got Titus Howard who can

123
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.519
<v Speaker 2>play left tackle and maybe it's his most natural position.

124
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 2>But you also bringing a guy in who is a

125
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:29.519
<v Speaker 2>left tackle.

126
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:30.720
<v Speaker 3>So it is.

127
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.480
<v Speaker 2>All that you just said gives me a little more

128
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.000
<v Speaker 2>bandwidth on my offensive line. I think they're better, I

129
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 2>think today, I think they're deeper than they were last year.

130
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>And I'm glad you brought up the competition, because the

131
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:46.079
<v Speaker 1>competition in my mind is Robinson and Titus Howard because

132
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.319
<v Speaker 1>one of those guys will not be here next season.

133
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:50.839
<v Speaker 1>And the moves yesterday showed you that with not only

134
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 1>the move on the offensive line, but also Daniel Hunter,

135
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>that's trying to free up as much money as possible,

136
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.519
<v Speaker 1>because yeah, the credit card bill's going to come due

137
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.759
<v Speaker 1>for number seven, it's gonna come do for number fifty one.

138
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 1>You've got to be able to have the Caps base

139
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.959
<v Speaker 1>to sign both of those guys and try to keep

140
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:05.920
<v Speaker 1>this offensive.

141
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:09.199
<v Speaker 2>We talking about five or twenty twenty six, twenty six, Okay,

142
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 2>so you're talking about this year.

143
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.480
<v Speaker 3>We'll go find out who steps up and the other

144
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:12.959
<v Speaker 3>guys there.

145
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.439
<v Speaker 1>You're taking care of me this year, Yes, no, you do.

146
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>And it's also I mean you're trying to actually find

147
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:24.199
<v Speaker 1>names there and we do feel a little bit better,

148
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>especially and you're saying to yourself, come on, Dan, one

149
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.720
<v Speaker 1>guy makes you feel that way, No, absolutely, one guy does.

150
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:31.639
<v Speaker 3>You brought it up.

151
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Versatile can play every single game that you need him

152
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>out there. He did it in Jacksonville, he did it

153
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.519
<v Speaker 1>in Minnesota for the short time that he was with

154
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the Vikings. That's somebody that you can count on, and

155
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Titus Howard has had his injury issues, what offensive lineman doesn't.

156
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>But it's also too we could be looking at the

157
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.839
<v Speaker 1>very same thing this time next year that we just

158
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 1>looked at with Laramy Tunsel, where they say, hey, we

159
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.439
<v Speaker 1>got to free up some money and they start looking

160
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.519
<v Speaker 1>around and saying, can we sign this guy cheaper?

161
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.040
<v Speaker 3>Or do we roll with this guy? Guy walk around?

162
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:01.920
<v Speaker 3>Here's another thing.

163
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.399
<v Speaker 2>What happens if they trade up and go get themselves

164
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 2>another offensive lineman in the first round and the teens

165
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 2>with these assets, then the offensive line somebody here already,

166
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:14.800
<v Speaker 2>one of those guys you mentioned will not be here,

167
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.319
<v Speaker 2>whether it's an interior guy, a center, a tackle, one

168
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.319
<v Speaker 2>of them won't be here because you dra have somebody

169
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.040
<v Speaker 2>if you trade up to get an offensive lineman, because

170
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:25.879
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna if you want to tackle, which I don't

171
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:27.279
<v Speaker 2>know if they do now, or if you want to go,

172
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have trade up to get the better ones

173
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 2>in this draft. Now, if you're trading up to get

174
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 2>a wide receiver, somebody else are a tight end, okay,

175
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:37.040
<v Speaker 2>But if you do that while you're gonna need them all,

176
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.279
<v Speaker 2>then does a guy like Todd At Titus Howard or

177
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.399
<v Speaker 2>somebody else become expendable where you say, maybe we can

178
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.040
<v Speaker 2>steal another asset. That's what is so you keep an

179
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>eye on the movement. I can't fathom that they're staying

180
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.680
<v Speaker 2>where they are with these assets in this draft and

181
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:54.279
<v Speaker 2>you're only trading up for what if you could get

182
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.920
<v Speaker 2>a stud tight end I guess a receiver, But the

183
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 2>truth is you're trading up to get a staple. I'll

184
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.360
<v Speaker 2>see you in ten years, offensive lineman. That's why you're

185
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:04.720
<v Speaker 2>doing it.

186
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.319
<v Speaker 1>No, And that's the thing, and especially too, when you

187
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>do that in the first round. That's a guy that's

188
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>got to make an immediate impact. So if the Texans

189
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>do that, it will tell you exactly what their plans

190
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.639
<v Speaker 1>are in the immediate and in the future. We can

191
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.399
<v Speaker 1>continue this conversation on the other side again seven one, three,

192

193
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.720

00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:27.439
<v Speaker 1>into some astros because I mean the topic of jose

195
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.240
