and then on top of that will be johnston's brigade and slightly to our east is robert russell's brigade, also of poke's corps, combined. they're about the size of clayburn and anderson's brigade, and so in close proximity they're coming into the same landscape, the same sector of the battlefield here in shiloh branch, engaging the same federal troops, which is sherman's division supported by brigade from mclernen's division and an extra battery from mclernen was holding the shiloh ridge and meeting the successive attacks and defeating them in detail. so if you just think about that issue of co-mingling of the confederate commands. no longer is it co-mingling of individual brigades, but a bigger problem is they're not brigades even from the same corps, meaning they're not even from the same organization within the confederate army. they're from a different organization of the confederate army and they don't know each other from adam in many respects because that organization at corinth was a concentration of troops from the gulf coast, troops that had fallen back from kentucky, troops th

and focusing on hubert humphrey, lyndon johnson, and richard russell. robert mann then did a more recent book. he's done an abridgement of that book probably for classroom use and then he did a more recent book on russell lawn of louisiana, nice biography of him. >> anybody else? >> oh, i like -- in terms of institutional history, i like my friend ross baker, no relation, up at rutgers university, who has written two very good books on the senate. one in the 1980s called "friend and foe in the senate" about the nature of friendship in the senate. and he really does a lot of interviews. he doesn't attribute who told him what, but he got into the fiber of the institution. and he's done another work probably for classroom work, "the house and senate" the differences between the two profoundly different bodies. i like the work of barbara sinclair a professor at ucla who has made a career of analyzing as a political scientist the inner working of the senate. >> how is writing for you? hard, easy? when you have to actually write. >> easy. which is dangerous. i mean,

you hear them all the time on espn 980 he is chris russell great to see you again normally we do this around training camp but we have to do it for robertriffin the third let's not forget they did trade up and not give up, three to get this guy >> they were convinced to get one of the two quarterbacks they made it, rg 3 is a good fit even though luck is the more polished of the two i spoke with robert 8 minutes, 9 minutes total, tuesday night check it out espn 980.com for the plug. i was impressed not only by his maturity, and his depth but his depth of answers and the way he answered after doing a tonne of interviews he didn't have to answer, the questions the way he did so i was impressed by that. >> everybody says it is a monomental leap will he be able to pick up this playbook. >> he says he has the basics of what kyle shanahan has said, he spoke openly, not sure if he is going to be totally ready, but i think, he will be ready for week one i think they will slowly work him,. >> will he be the opening day starter? >> yes. >> for the fans perspective out to fedex field and our own wisdom martin, take it away my friend. >> all right d

robert lee griffin now to be known as rg3. but amid all of the hoopla, there is that nagging question that just won't go away. will he be savior or goat? peyton manning or jamarcus russellwhole lot of guys you've already fore goat en. comment taye -- forgotten. commentators love to talk about failure rate for quarterbacks drafted so high, but they go down when you subtract out the players that have obvious flaws but some team decided to ignore them because they fell in love with his big rock et arm or something. -- rocket arm or something. this is the in testimony gens, leadership -- intelligence, leadership, you can see those things and he has all of it. will he still stumble, yes, but he's unlikely. is he really a good guy stuff? i'll just say this. i met robert griffin late last night after the draft. the man is exhausted and surrounded by pushy reporters that he takes the time to give generous 1-on-1 interviews to all of the local dc reporters who made the trip to new york to see him, including yours truly. let's be real. that was something he did not have to do. and for the record, number one pick andrew luck >>> rg3 touchdown in dulles around 3:30 this afternoon.
