weather cooperates. the "discovery" i scheduled to take off at 1:30 tomorrow morning in florida. but there's a chance of thunderstorms later tonight which could delay the fueling of the rocket. that in turn could delay the launch time. "discovery" and the seven-member crew will be delivers supplies and equipment to the international space station. among the crew is patrick forester of springfield, virginia. a suspected drunk driver in central florida tried to elude police byunning through a homeowner's yard. the homeowner was a former bouncer who took matters into his own hands. police had been chasing the 18-year-old suspect for several hours. the sheriff's chopper spotted him in walt's back yard. duster saw the suspect run by his patio door and decided to take action. he ran outside, tackled the guy. officers then took the suspect into custody. >> you know, who are you? who are you? i said, get on the ground. i threw him down here. and i straddled him, got on top

of him and then just then, the helicopter came up. here he is. >> duster is now quite popular with his neighbors in his little community. he says he's just happy to help police nab their guy who is now in jail. that's him. coming up, we are going to tell you about what's called media multitasking. there's a new report showing the effect it can have on people. the redskins battle for the third quarterback position heats up. and the nationals right now trying not to blow it in a matinee against the brewers.

it occurs to me that th preseason schedule that we have, i don't want to say what i'm really thinking, but, boy, who thought that up? was it the devil or somebody? that's a rough schedule, even in preseason, which many of us don't care about anyway. >> it's funny was jason campbell said he saw the schedule and he's like, who doesn't like us at it planned this? that's exactly the reaction he had. at least the redskins don't have two-a-days any longer. they were thankful to be hitting a normal practice schedule. it was still very physical. the defense was running sprints out there after practice. we're told it was because phillip daniels made his guys do that, but the "d" line coach was watching so no one felt like they could skip out.

>> carlos rogers played after missing all of that time. said it swelled up a little bit afterwards. does hope to be back tomorrow. mike williams also missed practice, but i don't think it's serious. >> when you think about the guys, the rookies or the guys that are really fighting for a spot, after they play in the game like they did saturday, having the day off sunday and then coming back on to field today for the first time, when you look at the guys battling for the spot, it's very extreme. colt obviously struggled on friday. chase had an incredible game. we're back on the field. last year, colt brennan was really the man. now he feels like he needs to get it together. he got a good drive going saturday. in his words, he got greedy on third and goal. tried to squeeze in the touchdown and was picked off. not the lasting impression that colt brennan was going for. on the flip side of that, it was chase daniel, the rookie, trying to make a big impression. it ended with 90-plus messages.

he threw two tds including this one to marco mitchell. still, daniels says it feels great but there's still a lot of work to do. >> it's a little bit of a relief, but if i start thinking like that, then i'm not going to keep pushing forward and practici practicing. i've got to make my reps count. i got to make those reps count. and, you know, make the defense bett as much as i can. >> good for chase. obviously that's the thing. last year, you know, even though i had a bunch of success like that, you know, i didn't necessarily, you know, put todd or jason in the hot seat. you know, they were -- they felt comfortable and everyone just knew that. this is a young kid that went out and had success one night. i'm just focusing on my opportunities the next two weeks. i'm excited. like i said, that's just football. the ball doesn't always bounce your way. right now i've had adversity, but it's not really going to

deter me or anything like that. >> interesting because colt brennan told me that last year he felt like he didn't play flawless, but his stats were very, very high. he feels like that's just the way it is. i have more women ask me about colt brennan than any other player on this team. >> he was so popular last year. and poeth newspapers in town have done polls and everybody is on the chase daniel bandwagon. that's something that will mote vam him in the next game. >> he's got to have a strong game on friday against the patriots. the redskins defense looks so strong right now. >> it's unbelievle. just think about how difference the defense is this year. you've got d'angelo hall. you've got the rookie, brian orakpo, who has to be the front runner for defensive rookie of the year. and you have the $100 million man, albert haynesworth. we saw quickly what big albert brings to the table.

this guy is a stallion on the defensive line. he felt comfortable with everything in that game except maybe his jersey, which was a bit too tight. he was commanding a double team on nearly every play. and still getting into the back field to put pressure on the quarterback. he is making the job easier for all of his teammates and they love it. but albert still staying grounded. >> i didn't think we did too bad. i mean, we got a lot of talent and stuff like that. i thought we improved on some things. some things we didn't, but we'll get better. it's preseason. it takes time. we've got a new defense. still trying to gel. the same thing happened my rookie near. we had a new defense. a lot of new players. we just had to gel. once we gelled, we were a good defense. >> we saw some great things. he was plugging up the middle. that why his pass rush, he's still working the kinks out. i just saw his presence over there. >> oh, yeah.

he's a huge difference. i mean, he's pushing the blocks up towards the quarterback. able to get on the edge and get the quarterback uncomfortable to make bad decisions. that's important for us to get on the field when he's doing what he's doing best. >> like magic johnson. he maeks everybody better. that was brian iraorakpo. still learnsing, but when he puts his hand down, he's a difference-maker. >> and they're grinding at it every day. moving now to the nba. miami heat forwarard michael beasley has checked himself into a rehab clinic. he's done so down in houston because he is battling depression. we want to show you pictures. this is a big question mark. he said he was going down to houston because he felt he wanted a change of scenery. two photos posted to his twitter account on tuesday. like i said, beasley told his

manager he just needed to get away from the washington, d.c. miami area. he had also posted messages on twitter saying things like i feel the whole world is against me. i can't win for losing. the heat open up their camp september 28th. last year he was the second leading scorer for him. you have to wonder if he'll rectify things quickly. now moving to the nationals. they right now are battling with the brewers, trying not to ploe it. right now they're down 6-1. let's take you to the tape. the third inning, nationals pitcher colin going up against catalanotto. strikes him out. baluster was doing somethings pretty good until the sixth inning. then he got into trouble. nats still leading 1-0. baluster hits the two-run home run, does braun. right now the nationals are down 6-1 in the sixth inning. when you move to a new house, especially one that's a billion dollars, you want to

make sure that everything works. >> 1.2 billion, to be exact. >> jerry jones has a problem because apparently the hd tv screens in their new beautiful stadium, a little bit too low. on friday, i don't know if you'vead a chance to see this. >> oh, yeah. >> they were hanging about 90 feet above the field. a.j. trapasso punted and hit the underside of the screen. it ricochetted back dow to the field. not something that jerry jones expected. >> jones said he tried this out with his punter and he thought he was fine. the funny thing is that the colts had this exact same issue when they opened their new stadium and hunter smith was their punter. he hit the thing every time so they said we can't do it. we'll put them on the side. jerry jones didn't have the same idea. >> and now it will cost $2 million, guys, if they want to fix thing. if you're jerry jones, you have no question. the nfl is going t mandate it. >> jerry says they'll have to punt around it for now. we'll see how long that lasts.
