"That's also a part of this as well. I just don't think when will Ritter play when will Howell play, I would look at a wide receiver one of the great wider receiver class we had. I could get it. I think it's a good year to be Betty non quarterbacks because then the path here is definitely there for some of these quarterbacks. But I know when or how it's going to happen, the Ritter stuff very good again. I think at some point he's going to get in there. Yo, it's so injury prone. And then we're kind of numbers really put up too. You'll be on a bad team. At least how we'll have a chance where they could put up. He could put up numbers if he gets in there. And then Drake Lenin was hurt for the Phelps. Yes, another person. And then Kenny Pickett, of course, 132.6 rating, but he's got to me again, man, that's the biggest overreaction from the entire weekend so far. Is that this guy needs to be starting ASAP or like in the first month for the Steelers? And I'll run down the path here that I like for Damien pierce on the Texans. So 5 carries 47 yards. Look good. Last year, the team averaged 3.4 yards per carry in 83 yards per game. And at some of the worst in the entire league, lobby Smith after the game quote. He can run with power. He can make you miss. He can cut on a dime, catch the ball. There are some things that he can do well that you'd expect a good running back to do in the NFL. Smith added, he definitely caught my eye in everybody watching him. It's what we've been seeing in training camp. Davis mills, quarterback for the Texans, quote if he can keep doing things like that, it will open up our offense in a big way. And like you said, the depth chart, maybe love years old school, but he's got to beat out Marlon Mack and Rex burkhead birkhead. He can do that. I have no problem with that. I fired on him at 65 to one. And at 50 to one over the weekend. I think some spots are down to like 18 or 20 to one on him, but shop around see what we can find in the guy that I was super excited about on Friday night. They went to him 7 times

"People with your is. This starts training. Seventh graders and trevor lawrence like i said we'll be special but you're when you're young like that and your first start you lock in because you don't want to be late making a throw. So what do you do you stare guy down or two or three. And what are these great players. Do they drive to the football. Because there is in zones for anybody who doesn't understand that in zone coverage defenses is watch the quarterback in man coverage the defensive players is are on the man. They don't watch the quarterback so when you play a lot of zone. The quarterback has to be very Sly and smart with his eyes. You almost have to be a the ability to understand where your guys are and to move people out of areas. You wanna throw the football. And if they're in the area you staring to that area. And then you go somewhere else and trevor lawrence will learn that over the course of his career. Tyrod taylor was efficient. If not explosive they ran the ball. Good enough all three dudes and even birkhead catches bug dead. What he what we expect him every now and again to catch a ball of flat and make a play. They had everybody involved. They made the big play. And i don't know if we're going to see them. Hang close to forty again this year. But i what jacksonville against i don't wanna hear is people i know like i said i know the naysayers are going to say. Yeah but they played a team that sucked. But i look at it as well. Thank if sucked like the team. They played it sucked. Then we'd really have. They took care of their business in a day when they should have one at home and they did and they just didn't win. Thirteen to ten day manhandled jacksonville in every way possible in the football game and now they know what they got. They're going to get an angry team. They're going to get a team. That should have one and be kansas city. Today they had them they had them dead deride success little plays on the road in a hostile environment and they got beat so they will go back to work and try to get it because they can't go down and the cleveland. Browns are a playoff team so the the ability to stay focused on this and they will feed off the good and the negative. the negative. there wasn't a lot now. they'll watch it on tape and they'll see things. A guy moved here was out of position here. Or why did trevor lawrence make this throw. You gotta be able to get here but if you could turn it over win that battle all the time the the turnover battle and your protect the football. Listen here think about some of these games. Now brady threw fifty times and one and a few other guys. Had one other quarterback yesterday was up in the forties and one. I think herbert through forty seven times prescott. Fifty eight lost. I've never had to throw it in the weekend. How many times guys through a tunnel past. Timmy hell tyrod through thirty thirty. S prescott fifty-eight lost josh allen. Fifty one lost cousins. Forty nine loss gov fifty seven loss trevor lawrence fifty one lost and when you hand the ball off and are efficient. Throwing look at jameis. Winston had the best game. I've ever seen a quarterback cowboy through for a buck forty eight cassidy throw twenty fourteen at twenty but was efficient. My favorite play about this. And we're gonna go break. We'll come back my favorite player. You watch the saints game. Yesterday it was first and ten with about three thirty seven. I think to go in the first quarter drops back. Milks milks at the pocket stays there. He's got plenty of time. The old james swinson. I swear to you. I'm sitting there watching this game in the right when he threw the ball landed twenty yards out of bounce. After the old jameis winston would've tried to force some deep route. Four seconds late. This is the sean payton effect. He didn't like throw it out of bounds. Be efficient with the football if they do that. The new orleans saints aaron rodgers that agreement actors look disinterested yesterday got their ass kicked but here in huston a lot to discuss seven one three two one two five seven ninety. The texans team was impressive. Now are we put them in the super bowl. No are eight guys. Go into the pro bowl today. No but i can tell you this if you didn't like this. Well let's see him against cleveland. All right then let him against the next team. I would feast off this. And if i'm them they got to get over it quickly but enjoy the tape today. If you're the texans because a win like that can get you rolling. It one thing that did show true of veteran team. That doesn't make mistakes is in every game. We saw it and pittsburgh coming from behind one of those days yesterday in the end. The texans enjoy.

"Just don't think he has it but you know more about football than just spending but in know. What do you think well to start out with with jones. The worry i w- does it. Where you at all that. The dow jones looked really good in the preseason as a rookie. Like are you getting ahead of yourself on maximum. You just pay my dog. Murph murphy didn't mean that he didn't like daniel. Aaron pass just hit bills dog wait so so when when dana jones look good in the preseason was it what were the reasons was it because he had time was he lights out what was going on. How did it compare to the jones thing. We just had so. I think the reason that. I'm always a little bit leery and i don't i'm not actually. I'm just sort of trolling you on this. I actually did think mack jones outstanding and like all the traits that you see at alabama. He's showing off like his pocket movement his accuracy his decision. Making all that stuff. It's showing up. So i think all that stuff is really good however i would say just preseason performances you have to always pump your brakes a little bit because A lot of times you know. They're playing very vanilla. defensive schemes. Playing backups. All this stuff i think that goes into. That's probably why we saw daniel jones. Just light it up and his rookie president. I mean he had like an incredible rookie. Preseason everybody was doing victory shook his head sadly. I can't remember this. Come on blocked it out. I okay. Here's the thing with daniel. Johnston bill mentioned like the fear in the headlights. That's what he is. I think that a quarterback needs to be like a basketball player like lebron like bronze on the court and he closes his eyes. He knows where the other nine people are in the corridor right. A quarterback needs that drew brees. Has that. Tom brady has daniel. Jones doesn't have it with his eyes open. exactly he doesn't he doesn't know where the pass rushers are coming from. There's like two places could come from. Like how does he lose. Traffic lights Second most fumbles to start a career on record. Yeah which is always a terrible indicator historically of whether somebody's going to be a career not craig. You don't have a dog in this race. You're a steelers fan. The patriots have been kicking your ass basically for your entire life so it's not like you have resentment with the mac jones thing from a fantasy standpoint. What happens here with mac jones because obviously the patriots are going to be a running team. I think with keeper leagues. He's probably a little more interesting But mack jones compared to daniel. Well actually let's start with daniel as daniela. Do not draft for you at this point. Is there any sort of one dollar near the end of the draft. Roll the dice. He's got better receivers or is he out Sure i guess if you're in a two team league and you're an option drafting and you're at the very end and you wanna throw flyer daniel johns. That's fine. I don't have any problem with that. Qb league qb lake. Yeah sure but the amount of turnover. He's like jameis. Winston like without the upside really like at least james thirty five thousand yards like john's ain't going to do that. I'd rather have mac jones in him this year and with mac. Listen we've been talking about this for the past month. Danny kelly would always be like well. You know i think if mack jones is the starter i think it helps nelson aguilar kendrick. Born both tied eggs. Tell me shouldn't just don't start then. He literally makes every player on the team. Better i'm all in on damian harris now i think macs should probably be the second pick for rookie of the year behind lawrence. The patriots is going to be better now. Yeah warrants sharp was saying. He was asking on sundays. Pot if damian harris was a good rushing. td's bet for gist to lead. The league in rushing was like thirty five to one. And what's funny is my only reason why i don't think that's a good flier is because the reminders stevenson who i think Look so good. Not just in In the exhibition has been in training camp. They might have this to running back and danny's nodding happily because you like from andre in the draft. Right we were only like everybody. We were just talking. Craig and i were literally just talking about this prior to Prior to recording basically like i can see the logic in damian harris being a really good fantasy pick because he's going to be on good team with a good offensive line. Good run game. I think mack jones is gonna give them way more opportunities in the red zone because he's not going to be carrying the football. I think i saw yet like Newton had twenty. Two go carries are inside. The five garland carries last year. That's terrible fancy however when you look at it it was like last year it was newton and then birkhead and then harris so maybe reminder stevenson is like the new birkhead where he just comes in and ruins. Everyone's fantasy dream like you know what i mean. It's just gonna get nightmare instead of just heretic fantasy football. He's hated it. I tire life is. Yeah hi fits is sake. Wanna stay away fantasy wise as a top twenty guy for you. I've been smartly emotionally hedging against saquon for the past two really afraid of saquon for the entire all season. The irony is now. He's one of the giants more healthy players. Which is just an unbelievable turn for the new york giants because thou kennedy holiday has practised like three and a half weeks which you know love that you're great eighteen million dollar receiver avenue rooms hurt. Evan ingraham's hurt now after flashing which again it's like what year is this could area's tony. The first rounder is barely practicing like saquon. One of the few guys you maybe. We'll play for them in week. One which is unbelievable but the whole the whole team is just so frustrating to stay away. Sometimes you have fantasy you've teams that are just the entire team to stay away. You just don't want anyone on the team. You're just better off. Fight them you know. The bears were like this. I never liked having allen robinson just because it was so frustrated. Watch quarterbacks under throw overthrow him. Didn't want anyone from the team. There's some teams like that this year for me like think. I still like evan ingram. But i think rationing like him. I like it to to me. The texans are complete. I don't want anyone on the team. One hundred out. I don't wanna look at their box score. I don't wanna care when they cut to a texans game. I just wanna be out of the texans business but we're how many stay with teams. Are there for you guests. I think that's definitely one of them. I actually this is probably zigging. Were a lot of people would really excited about this. But i like the browns to me when i when i was looking at like the rankings and stuff like i think odell beckham. He worries me. Just because he's coming off nasc- l. had the struggles you know in this on this team and all that he just hasn't lived up to where he was early in his career. Jarvis landry just can't get excited about it nick chub and kareem hunt they cannibalize each other's production like i just don't like anybody and then the the tight end situation is just a nightmare. I don't know. I just don't really like any any of the browns and then obviously are you getting excited about baker mayfield. I dunno craig. I rode the chubb kareem combo bandwagon last year. Chubb for forty three dollars hunt for and i kind of enjoyed it. There were weeks when i started. Both of them are just like there's probably twenty five fantasy points available for the browns running backs today. And i'm just going to have all the all the points. I'm going to really enjoy it. I i kind of i disagree. Danny i i still think dick chubb. I test wise when. I'm just watching running backs. I still feel like he's one of the four best where you just watch again. You're like wow. I can't believe that god has an rush for seven yards every time but which it would have your feelings on korean. I think probably is like top. Four runningback skill is but it sucks. Because it's not fun to hope that the other running back on the team hurt for your guy to be able to reach his potential excess. Kind of what you need like. Everyone is secretly hoping. Karima sprained his ankle. Or nick chubb sprinkle for the other one to work out. So i don't know. I'd rather probably grab a guy like aaron jones who i kind of think enough with you aaron jones. She's fucking room untameable every year. No one listens. I think it's because his name is boring..

"It. That's sports seventy dot com. You get all these great football stuff. You'll be with us. Throughout the year as he has throughout the entire preseason and even sooner than that good basically half the summer and we got them all year. And we'll be awesome so we're going through right now erin before we go well before we get to. We're going through. Sports illustrated went through if you. I don't know if you're listening on your drive in. Sports illustrated went through their record and where they're going to finish every team in the league. We went through the nfc to get out of the way and save the afc for us that just because you're hearing wanted to chime in when we get we'll save the afc south for lasso. We're gonna hit that in a second but before we do. What's the number one thing. The texans need to take from this game. It's not can they defend tom. Brady and the offense. That's not the issue. The defense i think is starting to become what we thought they were which is decent that they have a defense. They can get some rush. They'll probably validate that. Or you know. Maybe people will see that. They aren't as as we thought they were. But i'm concerned about the offense and their ability to run their ability to pass everything other than that. They're pretty good their ability to to pass but they're making these guys sometimes in defense the eighty five chicago. They're going to have to win. Games like twenty to seventy. Yeah i expect a lot of close games the way they beat dallas with turn over with him on back with you know with a you know some good play you know. We were talking about charleston meta who. We're to see it. We did and i was talking to his defensive line. Coach bobby case. I'm proud of chuck. He said that was what i'm talking about so to sacks poor spun wool from him but on the other side of the ball. You know you're not seeing david johnson. Get touches you're not seeing great training camp from him like you would hope for. He's you know the third down back very expensive third down back at that. Then you have you know. Mark ingram lindsay. Not making a lot of hay and you're just not seeing a lot of push there in the middle and yeah just preseason football but you like a little bit better on all the just one of those guys dangerous getting cut running backs with the way you could do it or reg birkhead see you get thirteen million and change and cap space. If you have to eat some dead money. Then johnson will be the one that'd be the most likely candidate. It would be very strange because one you'll like to waste money to. They made this decision. This isn't just everyone will say. Well wasn't that the bill o'brien inherit. Yeah it was within. You decided to keep him you restructure and i don't see how they're going to make this thing work they can just decide. Okay we're gonna carry some expensive guys and this is the year where we have to do that. And that's decision. Might very well happen. But you've done this you restructured. Whitney mercilus restructured shack loss and shack loss and is not in the top. Three defensive ends right now for this team. And so you have to question some things but that's the thing about personnel every team the league has this issue where you may have paid a guide and every team has been overpaid guy that they did bubble guy and sometimes you just have to kind of. Hold your nose and say okay. Wouldn't you mercilus steroid page you. You're going to play this year. When we get the best we can. Were keep positive. And that's what you do. You don't just cut bait on everything because of the cap. The cap doesn't rule every personnel decision. You make football decisions and sometimes you have to eat cap because you know what we are going to make that football decision but usually it's a marriage between some of the financial win all them. It's not going to be all just strictly. You know what i mean. I'll give you an example. I think about shack. I think shack is a regular season guy and not a preseason guy have that yeah. I'm much i'm okay. I don't need a preseason. All america's production five sacks a year. You know he's shown production he's been in underachievers pro one. The one thing. I think of when i think of the texans created a lot of competition. They created redundancies. Where you have guys. That are all similar. Anticipated production defensive. Line running back position. And that's where you have to make some of the back right now. we're going to have one. I think feel runs out there. I think phillip lindsay okay. Yeah i think you'll see a lot of mark anger. And but i think they're going to share the job but i think lindsay probably end up with more carries younger okay. We'll we'll we'll continue to discuss on. This is important for bubble players to play. Well i say. I said it last week. Mc and i earlier this week. we're talking. This is a team that is going to force turnovers get short fields. Grind out wins. And if you're looking for oh my gosh. Look at all the innovative stuff. That tim kelly is going to have to change his dial back. Because the shawn's not there and how they approach their game tyrod protects the ball. They're going to have to manufacture bigshots other than that if they don't turn it over. You're looking at a team. That's not going to be a thrill a minute plan offense. This year they're going to win a lot of games. That way protectable get the short field and every now and again sneak by somebody on a big one and hopefully you don't turn it over and you can stay close and winning the nra tyler. Sports illustrated has let's get to the afc east as we're rolling through the win totals and what order they're gonna finish. The afc east is obviously got the jets in last place correct. Yes you'd be okay. And i listen. I think zack wilson's been the most dynamic quarterback the first five weeks of these teams on the worst team. Well take that back. I'm not sure today that the jets can't compete with jacksonville. I expect sack wilson. Have a really good year for a guy that's going to be running around. But i don't think he bothers him jets. They're going to give them four wins this year. Four and thirteen say through maybe five high forty four. We'll take four five area three victories okay. Five and twelve. Five seven. Four me. And i'll i believe a lot of that zach wilson's gonna prove to be you're gonna see the forest through the trees this dude confidence in his ability with you're going to hear talk during this year. I'm just telling you and when you say you're comparing him to these two guys not at all not one bit not yet but i can tell you this. His arm strength is phenomenal. His off angle off schedule arm angle phenomenal. Confidence is like a guy who's won two super bowls. He looks like he should be bagging groceries. He's so young. looks like i mean. He does like you'd see him ebbing team team meal the night before the high school game and i spent a lotta a lot of time. Probably a total of an hour and fifteen minutes with a lot of time in that. Byu facility talking with him and watching him work and he's just validating some of the things you thought and even more so because he didn't realize it was going to transfer to this zach wilson during this year. You're going to hear aaron rodgers name. Come up and pat mahomes name. Come up matt stafford's name come up when he's doing all this not that he's there yet but they're going to say there are things that he does that those dudes do you will hear that. Come out of announcer's voice. Throughout the season i promise and maybe some opposing players as well all right second to last place. They're probably going say miami. But i'm not sure it's not going to be new england. I'll say they're going to say miami and put new england there. Aaron my in miami or new england's third place what they think. I think they would say that it's new england. They would rank miami ahead of them. All right it's miami. Oh so because. I don't think they're right now. Trust quarterback and they trust ballot. Check more in my opinion and i think they're going to have miami at seven or eight wins. I'll take seven. I'm gonna say.
RJ Bell's Dream Preview
"birkhead" Discussed on RJ Bell's Dream Preview
"They play carolina. It's carolina i tried. It was atlanta again. Okay atlanta plays jacksonville. place care. what we're doing this. I guess point three seven chance to win that game. Okay so so we're at four. So and so. That's if taylor plays every game. If he doesn't now how they upgraded anywhere. I mean if you just say forget quarterback for a roster that's gonna play. Do you feel like that houston's better than last year the same or what other than quarterback we know. The back of the roster's back as better. I would say the front is worse will will fuller's gone yeah. Jj watts gone. And whatever you think of jj one. At this point in his career he was the best player on their defense last year. You're saying that's your assessment which i trust. Okay way better running back. So then how way better. They don't instead of david johnson. Now they got. Ingram got lindsey their birkhead. Yeah they got bulk of care they got. I don't think that'll happen in season. I'm saying he's still getting a bulk. Aries in prec. I'd i'd i don't think they've decided who's going to be the running back four four running back. I don't think any of those guys are an upgrade downgraded coach. Oh yeah so. The question is how it seems. We were being optimistic and get them to four wins accurate. No what i'm saying. We were assuming that. Taylor was gonna quarterback every game. Yeah you're right you're right and it's mills. It's a lot worse. So that's what i'm saying is in a four and a half seems like almost a free row is a four and a half or four nats four okay so four and a half. I would probably like the under. I also want to say about tyrod taylor. This guy is started four games in the last three years. I mean whatever you think if you say the last time we saw him as a full time starter was his twenty-eight-year-old season to think that he's not. He's not the same guy. I don't think he's a i mean. He played one four game last year. Right one full game. So what are we worried about the humiliation of. Hey i mean if you have sixty minutes of an nfl game that's pretty indicative of how good you are. It's one game. But i mean he didn't play horribly. Qbr in that one game. Twenty one point three nine i. Let's back up the jacksonville. Saying i think we're making a mistake there. This isn't about project this this is about almost like we said before if a line is a and if it moves five points how it's different the real question is how many games has jacksonville real chance to win and been having houston and i division. I think really means that they have to their favorite to win two games so now if we have fifteen other it's not guarantee they're going to win both those games but if they have fifteen other games and they've only got a win. What five of them for us to lose five plus twenty seven right I mean is the houston thing. Something we're not properly accounting for. No it's i mean it's it's in the numbers in terms of the projected wins for jacksonville's that that well the projected wins it. Actually go you know with the west gay which goes over the number. Yes i have six point nine five six point seven. Whatever the numbers. I because money's coming in against jacksonville a little bit on some of these the minor like a month old. Yeah so i guess the question is but when you look those you him about the denver like a wee testing the jacksonville. I you got yet. Texans minus three. So make sure you tell where the venue is at at the texans minus three okay. Home denver. One and a half. Let's not stupid line. denver's gonna kill jacksonville. We got a bet that does seem wrong home arizona. Two and a half. Can you do that. Can you do the west gate on the app. see if it's available. That's just what is that. They won't give me anything on the app. i'd have to person. I'm steve fabric. These are all up to date at cincy. Plus two and a half even sense that i can buy. That's only if you're downgrades cinci if you go get since three weeks ago you wouldn't say that right jack. Since he's gone down both came down. Yeah home tennessee. Three hole miami. One and a half. That's the seem right wrong. I almost went to fade them every game at seattle seven home buffalo. Six and a half at indy. Seven and a half homes and indy seven. And a half okay. So that saying they're like a little couple points worse than an average team. I just don't i tell you what i'd much rather do the season win because even if we can go to and one on one and two but but the big picture of this if we're right on most of these games they're not winning games that are within three or four points. San francisco is for atlanta's four wears in the bat. Is it in the hometown of backyard. Jacksonville i know. But i mean san francisco four atlanta. San francisco's thirsty role favor in some spots. We got a bet. Jax pick him taxing whereas i giant jacksonville. Jaguars mind about that. Houston over under is seven and a half. Yeah that's that's that's accurate at jets plus one and a half and then india at home is three. Got the jets to the jets. Suck i tell you this. There's some sharp people that like the giants. I mean obviously relative to the over under. Yes they're over under. Is new york jets point nine. Should they're saying that jacksonville is more and a half game better than the jets and we just talked about. You know the home field advantage in what that when it's these numbers are tight on the tight games. The home field. The home games are worth more. So that's for the jets that plus four and a half. that's a heavy homefield advantage. So line changes from to mackenzie of those are the credit lines and we used. We put together a couple of weeks ago. Thank you so indian from eight and a half was seven is now eight and a half. What seven half against jacksonville. So it looks like it's there's two lines moved against jacksonville but it's not really lot yet and two. Oh who knows what. Joe van that denver at jacksonville really seems like with bridgewater. I'd want low variants. Why don't we had that one into mixed. I agree because dan was getting a ton of love lately. Go denver under jacksonville. I'll go tomorrow some shrimp tomorrow. I will go in and bet. I love that. Yes yeah all right so we can't release this okay. We'll release it. So where do we fall on the On the texans surprised but i would lean under eileen over but no you know what i leaned over. That's what i wrote down so on. Don't very too much from it. I'm neutral neutral because mills factor. They could just collapse when mills takes over all right. I was going to say maybe. Now i'm gonna root for us. And i was going to say. We could bet no vague. Go ahead i. I like i said i like under four and a half neutral. Lean to under four so we don't think over on any in his divisional so to me. I think we'd go double-whammy under jacksonville under tennessee. Yeah i'm just saying which one do. I like more warm. I like them both. And i both both. Both of them are too bad so far. Yeah i'm.

"birkhead" Discussed on The Sean Salisbury Show
"Go shovel the texans. Depth chart look Be come week one. Yeah four capable backs. Who's getting cut. Johnson ingram lindsay birkhead. Here's number one is if you're watching preseason. You haven't seen enough of these. That's why i always say practice is so important to making the team right. Doing in certain drills what you guys don't see at home was the nine on seven inside. Run drill the blitz pickup drills on an fans that just see what they see a game right. How important it is that you missed three of those again in a practice. There's nothing can be evaluated on these four carries in the game. They first of all know going in what they kinda get the strength birkhead pretty versatile player right. I think linda guy gets cut. It maybe cooks caserio guy because he was in new england. He's ingram's a colleague guy because he was in baltimore. He's a little different. But johnson and birkhead when it comes to catching the ball out of the backfield would seem similar because david johnson excelled at it when he was at his best birkhead. Strength has always been you know. Yeah get some tough hard yards but be versatile enough to do something out of the screen game and options out of the backfield david johnson last. You're caught thirty three balls for three fourteen so that ingram is not going to be your biggest effect in the passing game. One hundred twenty one hundred ninety two yards receiving for the limited touches last year five catches so the question is now i can you afford just roster wise to keep all four. I don't know what they're gonna do in other positions. Can you use one of these guys in. Birkhead ploy specialty. Yeah and well the third guy on here is probably going to have to regardless whoever the third back is fourth on for sure. Third back to run down. I don't know see. Here's my thing is when it comes to who starts. I really don't care you know. Maybe they do but whoever runs out there with the first guys is it. Lindsay is david johnson. Because he's guy who was here last her. I care about in brutal situations high stress situation game online. Who's in the game. Yeah that's who you'll know who the best back is now. You may say well. We're in a four minute drill at the game. We got an eight point lead. And we'd like to kill the clock. I would imagine ingram's your guy to bury the bollock to hand it off to the middle yay johnson. That'd be the guys running your your you wanna you wanna you wanna kill clock. You want to make sure that your dominating and not given the title ingram's probably are at good four minute drill guy. The drill we work on all the time got hold the clock got one time out. Gotta get a couple first downs and cause eight points. Man they can go. They can tie it with touchdown. Two point conversion one possession game right then you talk about lindsay who trying to regain. There's a burst about him. We know what johnson is you can. both maybe. He's this situ the situation tim. Kelly l. utilize him more but it's going to cut into all their reps when it comes because you're gonna play most of them and then the birkat thing him around to run down on special teams and to be or specialist. Yeah i i don't know but i can tell you this william. It's going to be interesting. 'cause watching the preseason games it's so hard to get a feel 'cause mark ingram i would imagine is better after kerry twelve years after kerry too big the physical guys like that right and then you see a guy david johnson three touches one catch. They're judging the practice field and history and and their health and what they see on the practice field. I can guarantee that if they're sitting in the meeting room with the coaches are sitting there evaluate evaluate and the players. They know and if they say well. This guy doesn't have the same quick burst anymore. They should have seen that when they traded for any of these guys one of maybe and maybe marking. That's played much last couple of years. And it's gonna come down to who you trust under crunch so for me and the answer william's question i would you know as you look through it and unfortunately for us making this evaluation. I can tell you what i think. The depth chart would be one when they are settled in. But i don't know how they're performing every day because you'll get a lot of. Bs comes out when it comes to coaches with coachspeak. Be of housing a meeting room. How quickly easy picking up. The office is he. A good pass blocker. We know in their history but in this system. What are they gonna do. And who the. Who's the quarterback in the offense. Trust the most matters and that they'll be deciding that over the next few days but you don't get a significant amount of touches for you to see a game. Look at david. John scotus burst back. They're finding that on the practice field. So it's a good problem to have four veterans who have impacted were. They've been at some point in time major in their career. The question is do any of them. Have any of that type of game left at this part of their career on a very average football team. We'll see offensive line will help so take that into account all right. Let's roll through this guy. The athletic survey that we've been going through. We were up to the next question. Which was should quarterbacks. Have a say. In organizational decisions we had votes for. Yes it depends and votes for now. Should quarterbacks have a say in organizational decisions when it comes it. Which one do you think. Got the most votes at of those three options. What are the three options. Yes no it depends the last one. No it depends. It depends had got nineteen votes. I would say the other two got six votes each all right. See for me. So nineteen twenty five twenty five and six so there is what thirty one guys thirty two probably the whole group right Agents yeah When i say the whole group is almost as many agents that were involved in this teams in a league somewhere around. There are some somewhere close. So i would say it. It's it depends why it depends one i. There is no way in hell. I'm going to tom brady. Who is the goat of all of them And saying. Hey tom this tight end. We're trying. We studied him at a university of michigan. We're thinking about taking him in a second round. I'm talking about the off season. do you think we should. He's a michigan guy. Which i can tell you this. I know brady loves sports. But i doubt tom's grinded on michigan. That's why you hire scott riding on his they have. There's not a player in this league. That deserves one out of say. Yeah when i'm talking about how much money. I should pay player college. Drafting if you're going to bitch about that any quarter. I don't care if it's aaron rodgers pat mahomes you come to me. And say hey. I'd like some say in college scouting. Quit your job put on a coat. Entire a golf shirt and pants and get out to scott. And we'll come aussie next spring. You start logging reports and getting in cars and drive and city to city. Go studying these guys are in there. Then we'll talk not one out now. I'm talking about not one ounce of input. Now if you wanna come to me on the other side of that and i'm your star quarterback and all the sudden you like with jordan love rogers thing. Yeah i would have simply gone to him if i was mark. Murphy you listen. I say listen man and i wouldn't text him. Hey here's where thing about say. Listen five minutes is all it takes. Aaron we're thinking about quarterback in the first round nothing against you but at some point in time we got to think and aaron would probably say. Why would you do that. I'm not going anywhere for the next eight years seven years whenever it's been two years now with him playing four five more so i would. I would like his input on. What do you think or the courtesy and respect to tell him. He doesn't get to decide you draft. I don't i'm going to get his input but he's not making. My decision either is brady. Neither homes on the other side of it. Amen antonio brown. Tom you were with a new england You endorsed him there. Why yeah sell it to me. So i got it. Would you wanna rhyme randall. Cobb one simul k with it because they're impacting your success. As a general manager head coach leflore the whole thing matt leflore so yeah that input personnel to say. Hey should we pay this guy and extra two million bucks you. you're not. you're not getting any players wallet. You don't have a say in that. I'm not coming to you. We say. Hey this guy who should we cut now. If you wanna say tom who. This guy struggled in training. Camp like a backup fourth-round wide receiver right. But tom says don't do it. Man put him on the injured because he's going to be a player. Yeah i'll take that into the best player in the world. Talking about a guy goes to every day. I'll hear it now. I don't know if i'm going to make that decision. But i'm at least going to listen but when it comes to college and other people's money and all that college scouting and all they don't deserve one ounce to say i don't care how much money they make or how good they think they ought to be one of the sticking points if you have a shot situation is to me like i can understand why he's mad because they told him. They wanted his input on things to tell somebody they want it. They need that. You've been player in the. Nfl deserves to have input on on on everything so really a lot of things like that and one of the quotes from the no votes. I thought was funny. Says why is that a necessity talking about having power or having say this look at the nba. James harden was basically given gm powered by the rockets. He nuked the organization right. So why would you give that away. That's not sure specialty or your job right now like i said player empowerment is nice for contracts and everything i think again. It is the worst one of the worst things that's happening. The sports from the standpoint of players got to stay in their lane agreed. That is that what you get paid to do. We don't talk about it if you don't like some speak out but if you're listen to your evaluator doesn't deserve one ounce a say in the personnel decisions in arizona when it comes to draft. I want his input. You like this remind you think he's going to get. What do you think they got. Great burst and for patient with them. I promise we'll we'll make him work. Okay then i'll take that in you. Don't get to decide this. It's absurd and when it comes to hiring a coach november first of all. I'm never gonna go to a player and say i'm going to get your opinion on my. I would've never gone into sean. Say no saying that's on them. Nowhere here who. We're considering if i wanted to say you did not tell anything or yeah and can you talk to some friends. See where they say. Let's say it was it was dabble that they were considering. What's everybody knows about. But to sean what do you what do you think how would he be as an nfl coach and get input right and no big deal. You don't hire but okay it's not and you. Don't tell to sean. That gets a say in it. You're just saying just outta respect because you know guys like okay. The lease asked me. It took eight seconds for me to give an answer big deal. You don't deserve any say no no. You don't now. If all of a sudden dave gentleman's friends with tom brady before he hires joe judge who was in new england. He says hey. Tom had done nothing to do with. You are in different conferences. That marriage different divisions. Obviously but. i'm just curious. What do you think about joe judge. I would do my due. Diligence talked a-. When i'm hiring a guy that important when drafting a first pick of the draft quarterback up going on campus and asking the trainer. How was it to the. I want to know the character. I'm asking people that can do nothing for him or nothing for me or is it going to help my nfl team. I wonder what the backup quarterback thinks about him in a meeting room. I wonder what the guy who has no say in. It feels about the guy. Is he just a complete third. All the time the players and selfish this is the greatest guy the world competitive cut your heart and feed it to you but after he cuts it out. He'll take you to the hospital okay. So there's some compassion. But he's a. he's a sniper. He's a savage right. That i want to know that tirona coach house. He deal with people my quarterback you paid forty million dollars because you're good quarterback personnel guy. Sit your ass down and shut up okay. I look about now in the shop thing. If they tell you they're going to give you some say or impress for your follow respect and follow up. That's called. That's the that's called honesty again. Building relationships decided to change their mind to communicate and go to him and apologize. Right having your input. The word. I'm sorry and thanks goes along what it really does. And you could have done that. And you patch that up. And it's like okay but you don't get to decide and if you're dumb enough to give somebody no trade clause to give somebody personnel decisions. That's on us the front office and you're too stupid. Yeah but if you do say. I want your input. I shouldn't even have to tell aaron rodgers. I want his input out of time. Just communicate. stand there. You're in the same building that tough to walk down stairs sarah and you've got five minutes with fourth round rookie or that. They wanted to keep around and they just asked me to tell him. you want input. go get his implant. People are so stupid. We're in the communication. Is this world coming into. we're way late. that's okay. We're loving and good conversations. Sometimes you gotta be late for the conversation. We'll come back and continue. This discussion makes sense quarterbacks. Just take care of your team worrying about the backup tight. End it slippery rock sports talk. Seven hundred is godless quarterback. Listen to sean. Pulse berry holstered. Sean salisbury sports socks. Natty your home baseball ball. We're talking just before we got. We were a little late. We gotta make this a quick one. But we'll continue on the eight o'clock hour we were discussing and you had mentioned as it so i talked about staying lashing communication demanded. How tough is it. If you've got something to say to somebody walk your ass down there and say it. If you're a coach or front office guy what do people people are so afraid of what it comes down. And you're exactly right case hear these stories all the time. Yes in every sport. Yeah we've been with them here. What the astros dallas kaikal was the hell out of jeff luna saying he was impersonal. And it's not a blanket statement. There's a difference between being too buddy buddy with players that your math to cut toward their your best friends and now your buddies and you're building relationships you're about build the business and having friends on the side just like my dad's my dad when he was alive and he is my second. So but here's the problem is you can't build a relationship via text and i know pe- young kids people think you can via text as a football operation and somebody thinks get lost in translation through emails and text and all that and yes. The analytics are so much. Oh it says this. You're spending so much time sitting there standard computer evaluate and all this paying money salary caps that you forget to every now and again and i've had some good gentlemen bobby. Beth was great at this and wearing flip flops and shorts on a friday with a hawaii. A t-shirt yeah coming down and not not not meddling guys doing just checking on yes. You're just the simple conversation and it wasn't even about a man. What do think we're gonna do friday now. There were those conversation. We're going to do on sunday. Are we prepared. I mean but just ca how you doing and and listen. We got to the point. I'm convinced analytics. If turned certain him into robots yes. I agree dinner social frigging misfits. The guy that that they've turned them into the guy not saying gentlemen likes when they go in the. We've turned him into either. You're afraid to go talk to the star or the guy you've got cut. That's part of the businessman part. I comfortable yes the whole time in your whole career every day all your whole life. Football is uncomfortable being comfortable in an uncomfortable situation the whole time. That's what it is until you get to kneel down at the end of the game and win that's comfortable the walk in and so what they've done this is the guy at the. This is the guy who's the smartest kid in school. The who who graduated three classes ahead and is like fourteen or twelve at high school. You know that guy and when the school dance hits he's in the corner still figuring out what maths going to be like on a tuesday because people are afraid to talk him because he's so much smarter than them and he's a. He's a little bit of misfit. Only reason i compare you know the guy that we joke about. i'm not talking about bullying. But we joke about that guy who he's so smart people don't go up and talk to him and he's so into his books and then when you talk to him it's actually normal it just sometimes you gotta get out that and i think for a business it's so communicative supposed to be a lot of times. We the last time you talked remember. I told you you know how many times over my my during the season you'll spend time talking to an owner or a little. That happened less you on the cowboy right jerry. Down there talking to you right or you know somebody. Hey how you doing. But there's nothing wrong with communicating even uncomfortable situations and a lot more the most uncomfortable times are coming up right away where you gotta look a guy in the face as a coach. Say thanks but you're not good enough to play here or it's a numbers game. They use that or just listen. You got a good chance. You battled hopefully continue on a continue career. It's just unfortunate. It's not here and competence bummer. Because you're playing for four twelve. You didn't make that team. Well it just depends on where you fit but it's okay to it's a it's a rough and it's not comfortable and it's not fun doing this but it's fun losing winnings fun but it's fleeting. Don't don't do it all the time. Unless you're tom brady right or the mahomes going through but listen. There's a way to communicate without being a socialist. And you be. You can sit up there. And papa computer all the time but when it comes to negotiate trying to get to know the player you gotta have to rely on somebody else. And that's not good communication side of tours. Well remains the communication that has to be genuine. And beyond just that. You're not just you're not. This isn't just your token drop by and visit how you doing. I just want to let you know. I exist and keep on walking right. It's got to be just see how you're doing man. I know your wife's pregnant. Yeah how you doing like for silly as it might seem to me. I think the caserio thing matters like in terms of his. He's out there getting in the mix and things like that as long as it's good. Yeah well also gives you an idea. There's a method madison. He's in these drills watching. He's listening sure is he's saying well. Listen why. I've been in that drill three times. Same guy dropped. Same ball ran the wrong route. The coaches told him well. He doesn't process how to repair something quickly. Right and so there's a method to it but yeah as long as it doesn't become the cheese mo- side were dude. You don't need to be out to jack routes about jackie side of it where he's out there holding pads new stuff. That's cheesman. that guy has no business being out there. Doing jackie has been a coach. Not jackie's genetic has been before the more you can do is always a good thing but don't do too much. Yeah you still want to keep that little gap where the players wonder ooh is he. Mad is that level of respect for respectful fear. Yeah and that's and that's a fine line but the good ones are geniuses at it. There are some social misfits upstairs. That just they're afraid to walk down to players. But you wanna talk numbers. Got them right here on this out. Read this but i don't wanna talk to. You gotta go.

"We just wanna have two guys. We want to have the go-to guy and then the the backup who's going to be probably our third down. Get two three four yards consistently we gotta have that we like. We said last week It's it's one of those things where once birkhead and and And amir ab- dula were gone. It's like you don't realize how much you appreciated such a consistent running back room until it was gone. it was nice that we had zig bow. But since then we haven't had A running back room. That's been Dependable so for me. The guy who. I am very much looking forward to watching which i've said before in previous episodes is Shockey aunt i'm very very cute. I'm very. I'm not not only curious. But i am looking forward to watching this guy. He looks like i mean he's six foot two two hundred and forty five pounds. He's a big dude and he can get up and go so i am. I am looking forward to watching him on third down situations or goal line situations where we just need a bruiser back to go in there and pounded into pound just pounded in there And i think yet is going to be that guy and so i'm looking forward to watching what he can do this year for us In who i'm very curious about is marquee step It has been said by our staff that he has healing process has gone way quicker than expected and that he has played a part in fall camp and if he can be that guy. That has that experience coming from usc We could really use a guy with experience and game knowledge that we don't really have right now we have just a bunch of freshmen Just yeah just a bunch of freshman. I'm looking right now. Yep offer ashman bunch of freshman sophomore and marquette step and a few redshirt freshman. We got cooper jewett. You know everybody's young everybody's young We have essentially a deep running back room. We really do but whether or not they can actually produce. Anything is up in the air but those are my two guys. I'm i'm very curious about step. And i'm looking forward to watching it I know that you have a couple of different guys. That more honestly really difficult for me to not mention but since you wrote them down you know. Let's let's go to contrast here. So who are the guys that you're looking forward to dan. Well for me the player to watch and it was so hard and this is what's interesting neither one of us listed gabe urban. Even though there's a few other podcasts out there that are pretty much set that they think he's going to be the guy he's going to be the number one guy. I tend to think savion morrison might sneak up and snag that number one spot with either marquee step or gabe irvine kind of sitting in that number two slot. So i'm looking forward to watching what savion us. 'cause he's never really been completely healthy They obviously didn't have a full fall camp or a spring or anything like should all. These kids came in trying to figure out how to play the game of football and run frost offense with almost no experience in it..

It's elijah herbal from hail varsity. Yes he made a comment about it. That i i mean. I thought it but hearing it out loud was like. Oh yeah you're right. You don't realize how much the husker football program has needed those reliable and go-to backs until after the birkhead and amir What would it be like. I was gonna say dynasty but that's really overshot kind of term but the birkhead years because we haven't had a a running back tandem or even to running back there. we go the tandem. I was just thinking of that tangos to those guys. And i think the only thing close that we've seen since then would have been the one the one in done divine abzug divine zibo Yes one year that he provided an incredible amount for us So yeah it's most memorable part about amir.

"Johnson was still good. Jacksonville's thirty second and james robinson was still good so you can be a bad team but you gotta catch the football. And least he has that skill set. Now i will It's it would be disingenuous of me not to bring up the tyrod taylor not throwing the ball much to the running back with a running back capable of catching the ball I think on the extremes. And i've had some of this conversation debate on twitter. Recently over is throwing to the running back. A quarterback stat is at a Talent stat is a coaching stat. And i think on the extremes it is. It is a quarterback stat Not in the average. And tyrod taylor's on the extreme of that he's not gonna throw the ball a lot david johnson. So it's a matter of. Do we really believe tyrod. Taylor is going to be starting much of the season. Yeah and i. Don't you know the talent is thin. There the have to david jones. Even if he's lined up in the slot you know. I know you're right. I think on the extremes but on the average case. It's not a quarterback to me. I think we saw this plain and simple with the cam newton. Cmc situation for you get the player who can catch the ball. You throw him the ball and how you design your offense but not a lot. Let me let me put it this way. Do you have a lot of hope for philip lindsay. No do you have hope for jordan naked. No do you have hope. For any of the other running backs in that room ingram birkhead nico collins. Kiki qt Dynasty cobb says hey what's up dynasty wise. Niko collins is the only name that i would just throw out there saying. He's coming into an nfl experience. Where the opportunity and pathways open for him. So if he comes in and seizes the day he could be better than what we're expecting because obviously nico collins not a highly drafted fantasy option even in dynasty leagues. But at least the path is there for him. Jacksonville was one in fifteen. Last year. They won their first game of the season. If you remember. They beat the colts. Which once again. I spent the offseason. Disparaging gardner menchu and then was getting flexed on in week. One oh yeah. It was great and While they they lost the next fifteen games they went through gardner and luton and glennon. Which is that's more of a glennon law firm than it is of quarterback room glennon and luton is a glutton for punishment Oh like you are yeah. I thought it was gluten. Free like they're going to be gluten free this. It's too easy okay. Also they had. They were punished a lot less here. Okay i'm a okay myself saturday minus saturday. I won't even rank you thank you. It was a. I brought up the fact that james robinson was great last year which was and did it on the offense that was thirty second in rushing attempts. That is not the normal though like using him as the template for well. Bad teams produce. Good running backs is not the normal. Least if you're the dead last and rush attempts since twenty eleven there have been two that have put up big years. And that was lamar miller. Back in twenty. Fifteen for miami and james robinson last year. Who finished seventh at the position. I think we spent a lot of the offseason. Bemoaning urban meyer taking the first round. Pick on e. t. and because of what it means for james robinson managers because you had the free square at running back in the you decided to double down But eight to me it. I think you have to translate that into what this team wants to do. And what this team wants to do is throw the football to the running back position. They didn't feel like they were equipped enough with james robinson in last year for trevor lawrence in college. Highest percentage of attempts from screens. Run pass options. Among all quarterbacks urban meyer needed to double down on the ability to do it yeah and a brought in his college teammate. That he's comfortable doing it. With james robinson season last year was awesome and they should have stuck with them. They didn't and james robinson is bordered line relevant to me i. I don't know how far he has to drop in a draft for me to take him. But it's far. I've i've passed him in so many mocks. So many real drafts. He is everything. I don't want in a player last year. He was great. I take nothing away from him. I give him all the credit but it was entirely because he was the only thing the only player touching the ball a bunch. It's like you said they were dead last in rushing attempts but he was great because he got all of them. It's similar to what we were talking. About what the steelers on the last episode lot of times people think that these running backs with a ton of rushing attempts are on a high rushing volume team. no sometimes is just. They're the only guy and that's all it was well. He's not the only guy he's not with the team and the coach and the staff that experienced him and they just brought in a first-round running back they wanna throw the ball to the running back. And while james rum's akin to that between the twenties urban meyer wants speed. So let me let me ask you a couple of questions. Pull up your for jacksonville. Because i'm gonna ask you a question about them. Because i do look at james robinson. A little bit like philip lindsey in year to where he forced himself to the top the depth chart and the team has no choice but to use them. I think he's going to be a part of the offense. Sure so the question. I ever used. You think he'll have do you think. Do you have two running backs on that team. With more than one hundred fifty touches. I do not james robinson then james robinson with one hundred and sixty five touches and travesty team with one hundred thirty three. I'm sorry not touches rajasthan. Both of them are over one hundred and fifty touches all right so looking at every team over the last five years that had two running backs with one hundred and fifty touches each okay so what. I'm projecting for this team. You have fifty five percent. Fifty five percent had both running backs to finish in the top. Thirty six only only twenty but only twenty one percent had both in the top twenty four. So you're not going to get ceiling. If they share the time if they have the type of touch count that you have projected you might get a couple of top. Thirty six's okay. So much downs for robinson catches free. T. n. but you're not getting in the top twenty four and that's that's what we need to clarify for people here because when you say. Hey it's likely that they're both in the top thirty six really fifty fifty back in sound even if it's even if it was one hundred and guaranteed that can sound better than it is because it's similar saying oh. This tight end was the tight end. Seven it's irrelevant like if you're not in the top twenty five running backs you are usually a relevant to last year. The running back thirty six just to give me some names for from last year's running back thirty six giovanni bernard the top.

"You're back with Mark and Rob. Um, remember when we had big, fat fight, which one? Never when we had the fight about like the hold Trump video in his speech the other night, and we had a big long fight about it about how I was just like so irritated because it was so good. It was such a great speech the other night night wish that he'd given it the week before and you fought with me. And, like a whole bunch of people agreed with you. And, like fewer people agreed with me. Well, you did the thing. That you do all the time, Which is where you get so hung up on this style, right? Yeah, I do care about style. It's a big thing for you. It's a big thing for a lot of people. I know I'm not alone. But be that as it may I do want Tonto. Say that I think you there were some rightness in what you said. I'm not going to say you were right. Because I still believe what I believe. I wish people could see the body language of you right now. Like when she was about to say there was, as she describes it. Some rightness Birkhead got below the microphone, which is almost physically impossible. Her shoulders came up over her ear lobes, and then she aggressively as she was rejecting her own statement forced her hand. My direction. Serve body language expert would be all over that. But my point is, I understand your point. And I and there were about to play some audio from some CNN clowns, along with Andy McCabe, who I believe it's still an actual CNN contributor. Which I think comes with a paycheck. If I'm not mistaken, he's not just like appearing on it. McCabe was the FBI guy who was a part of the whole dethrone Trump. Right. Cool. No, it was a coup. Is that what we're listen if they can use words that are that strong? I feel like we might as well. Is that insurrection? Yes, Let's call it that. Let's say that Andy McCabe, who was part of this insurrection. So he did exactly what you and so many people who agreed with you predicted that the left would do, um, because they decided to pick apart the video that I thought was absolutely perfect of Trump listened to how this went. President Trump put out this video we understand under the rest last night. He called on his supporters to not be violent. But he did not say I lost the election. He did not say I am in any way responsible for the insurrection. The violence of the capital last week You spent years fighting terrorism all around the world. What do you think? Potential bad actors heard from that statement last night. John President Trump is a master at coded language and the use of dog whistles. And there is no question that that statement included some of those same references simply by leaving out the comments that you've mentioned. He sends a signal to his folks to fight on. Hey, has never come out and formally undercut the central theory of this of this domestic terrorist rebellion, which is that The lie that the election was stolen from them, and his failure to do it last night is absolutely unforgivable. I dismissed that statement as a self serving attempt at damage control. I think you're right to be thinking forward and far beyond D. C. I still think that the biggest danger that we face in the coming weeks Is from the independent actions of small domestic terrorist groups be the racial or all right. Or whichever, whichever your flavor of the moment targeting softer targets in their home areas. Those air state houses, government buildings, things of that nature. D. C is going to be a fortress for the inauguration. There will be some attempts to destroy all right, We can kind of their thing. Did you get the part where he was like? I believe that this video was made under duress. It's so according to what CNN sources give me a break, and then the whole well, it's coded language, and the code was in what he didn't say. What the help. There's a scene at the end of Animal House when they're plotting the the takeover of the parade, and they make the case. They say they're going to get us no matter what we do, you know, and that's it, right. I mean there. I guess that's what I was trying to say. Yesterday. I understood what you were saying. And how many people would would would feel that way. But to me, it doesn't matter. Because he didn't the first time say anything wrong. It's like you can get totally sideways on you. No style points, but he didn't say anything wrong. Like you can say. Well, that statement shouldn't have gone here that shouldn't have been put over here. Okay, fine. But as a collective there was nothing wrong. Nothing that rose to the level of impeachment just like on the phone call. There's nothing that rose to the level of impeachment. It didn't matter what he said They were going to impeach him. It didn't matter what he said. This time they were gonna impeach him. So when we start giving credit to well, he should have done this. It feeds these people. Who say this sucks. This is an incredible so and what was super interesting about what Andy McCabe was saying. They're just now, too, is that he said he didn't mention the election. He didn't mention whatever else like the the impeachment right? So he didn't mention the things and those were the things that I was mad that he mentioned in the first video. He's done. He can't win and I take everything back. You went. And, you know, Mark how it pains my soul. I know you hate being right. I hate it. I know you do like I wake up and I'm right so often that I feel immense guilt. You know the guilt that Ivanka probably has sending those secret service away from her bathroom. That's the guilt. I feel every day being so right. Because I have so much fun being here that I could never leave Talk radio yet. I know my rightness would do so much good in public office and I wake up with this guilt in this burden.

"The justice department is reviewing those stock trades made by some lawmakers after corona virus briefings Dianne Feinstein Burr and I think Kelly Loeffler also are being being investigated where are we with that what do we know well according to published reports that the FBI has started asking questions about senator Burr's trades which were made after a confidential briefing although not a classified briefing and certain members of the product about the virus itself and of course there was a senator Feinstein's husband he gauged in expensive trade she personally did not that that that's almost irrelevant in the story my guess is nothing will happen for many of this yeah even though Congress passed the law back in two thousand twelve making it specifically in legal for members of the Senate and house decreed on confidential material non public information it doesn't appear that these meetings are going to meet that standard it could be classified briefing need being that would indicate that aside the politics of this are pretty ugly it's pretty obvious that bird did in fact trade on not non public information and I think it was material I think Burke who is not running for re election widely in North Carolina who has been analysis of the president and has allowed mark wanted to run the Senate intelligence committee hi Burgess figure he's on his way out so why not make a few Bucks pretty disgusting behavior but I don't think the justice department will ever pull the trigger although if they were going to they certainly picked on the public interest yeah now and and can you spell that this sort of colors in the lines over what we've seen the last few years you mention with the Senate intelligence committee thank you know Republicans are in charge is there but we just haven't seen a lot of traction from that Intel committee to get at the root of the problems in our government and now you're looking at a guy who just betrayed his oath of office in order to enrich himself well I think the present really a classic example of the never Trumper with power in the Republican contact he's he's practically a democratic civil servant of the weighted resistance as function is trump took the presidency of Birkhead heated front from the beginning he has obstructed getting to the truth about the Russian hoax although there was getting in plain sight you never heard him say anything supporters about the president during that entire three year pokes Burke is not well white in the White House as you might imagine he he is well liked by his fellow senators interestingly enough but that's the nature of the club pretty pathetic guy and he will not be missed by those of us who care deeply about the country and then exit aria which was singing this tune on stock trading is pretty disgusting and it's shameful actually but I don't think anything criminally legal will come from it yeah sad Joe the justice department is now saying that anyone caught intentionally spreading the corona virus could face terrorism charges is this something that they can make stick are they probably could I think there's enough public anger at anybody taking advantage of this situation you see new cases where somebody spits on lotus road beds doubles in a in a a grocery store or supermarket ending you know that often produce has to be destroyed and then the person is arrested this could be considered a terrorist act under not only federal law but under most states now have anti terrorism statute because it's designed to do harm in a political situation etcetera etcetera if it yeah I doubt if there will be any of the cases brought because again talk about limited resources and what we have to do but if anyone knowingly we're spread the virus Bob well somebody worked in a hospital it took advantage of access the bios or anything like that I have no doubt that would be a prosecution individuals doing something like this you know we'll see how I've got the prosecutors are I would do it if I regret it but you know I'm not there

I'm Kim masters, and this is the Hollywood breakdown joining me as Bella near the Hollywood reporter and Matt as we speak. I think Megan Kelly's lawyer is flying from Los Angeles to New York for showdown with NBC ship been in trouble for a while now. But this is the sound that did the job that I think had been percolating for awhile at NBC. You do get in trouble. If you are a white person who puts on the or black person who puts on Whiteface Halloween like. I was a kid. That was okay. As long as you addressing character. So apparently, not okay. She has been a very expensive investment that did not pay off at all. And this. I would note if she came from Fox News, not the first time she's made racist comments. Notably. Santa Claus is white. That was she told the world. Everybody knew that in two thousand thirteen I feel like she sort of, you know, made her her identity clear at that point. But NBC picked her up. This is one of those situations where NBC knew there was a risk here. Much like ABC knew there was a risk with Roseanne and NBC took the leap anyways. And now, it's lo and behold blowing up in NBC's face. I think Megan Kelly will leave NBC I don't think this relationship is salvageable question is whether she will land anywhere else. But I just think that the combination of the ratings problems, and the fact that she was horribly miscast as a. A morning show host. And this latest blow up is really just kind of the last straw. So I think she will be gone. Absolutely. She's trying to embarrass the heck out of NBC. Meanwhile, with her lawyer saying that they want Ronan Farrow to be involved obviously trying to project. Bad things that NBC appears to have done in the past talking about somebody on the real housewives who wore black face as if that is apropos to how a person who presents herself as a journalist should behave. I think we can agree that the sixty nine million dollars over three years was money badly spent and she's going to clamor, and I think they will pay her. And honestly, I don't know who would employer at this point because we are told that Rupert Murdoch got fed up with her at FOX, and you know, she's branded in a toxic way right now. Yeah. And it's one thing to be toxic to a television network. She managed to lose to agents in the scope of one day, actually, her relationship with CA which had represented her for the past couple of years having going downhill recently, and we're told that she had expressed some frustration. Also represents no Oppenheim is the president of NBC news. So that relationship ended CA confirmed that Megan Kelly was out. She had also been talking to j syrup. At UTA, another prominent agent who represents a lot of people in the in the broadcast space, and when all of this controversy broke a UTA decided that they did not want to represent Megan Kelly either she ended up hiring a litigator the same day. So she went through to agents and got a litigator in about twenty four hours. Very interesting. I think we can safely predict that litigation will not ensue. I mean to me this raises the question again about Andy lack who runs NBC news has overseen a lot of problems at that network. But so far Steve birkhead of NBC universal standing by him. Thank you, Matt. Thank you. That's not felony editorial director of the Hollywood. Reporter. He joins me this Monday at two o'clock on the business. I'm Kim masters, and this is the Hollywood breakdown this podcast
