the game. he knows the cowboys game was just a start. >> i'm extrely confident. like coachhanahan said, that was only round one. we're about to be in round two. and i think everybody pretty much kne this. we're only about five, x months in. we're still learning day in and day out. we have practice to do things and get better. i think everything will be fine by the time the rest of the season rolls around. >> we'll change it up. i feel like from a player's standpoint, iis so different this week. i talked to a few of the ys. and after practice we said, wow. he is really spinning. we have so much different stuff in. there is a lot of adjustments to make offensively and i'm sure they'll do thesame thing. i'm sure they know. they have the idea, what we kw. whatever. a chess match. if we're ever going to change it. and we'll go from there. >> i don't know whathe was trying to say but i assume he is

saying, they know us. we know them. we've been trying to figure out who has the advantage. their get on the field them play. >> and we'll see. >> we'll see. >> that will decide it. the latest injury news, albert haynesworth listed as questionable. but he is expected to play in back-up role, according to head coach shanahan. and moore who is back fm knee surgery doubtful so it looks like they will be facing the texans without the starting free safety. the offense, e of the best in the nfl. what about the defense? ast year houston was ranked almost smack dab in the middle of the league in temperature of points allowed. right around 20. last week against the colts, texas mostly had their way with manning and company holding them to ten point. now they face a quarterback in donavan mcnabb who is a bit

different from manning and presentsthem with other problems. >> me myself, i, i hate quarterbacks. th can scramble. they are lying a defensive lineman's worst nightmare. you can get your best rush. no matter how good the rush is, they can evade you, pick up a first down. that's like the baddest thing ever for a defensive lineman. you get a nice clan move and he still breaks free and rush for like 15, 20 yards. and got to get back up and line up again. >> one of the great quarterbacks of the league. he's been to the big game before. he knows how to lead the team. does a great job of moving around in the pocket. scrambling to run the ball. so he does present problems. >> the redskins and texas kick off at 4:15. also, a children's book drive at fed-ex field. there will be collection bins all around the stadium. maryland and wt virginia renewing their football rivalry

the more we win, the bigger the games get. i think this i a very gig game for us. >> since i've been here, they had the best us. one of our ings, the goal is to win. it will be a great challenge. the top 25. they have tremendous athletes. for defense, especially, a big challenge for us. >> maryland, west virginia meet up on saturday in morgantown. before we leave you, a couple high school football pays you have to see. we start in northern virginia. this is from last friday's game. third quarter, madison and yorktown. andy qui mcguire is there to receive -- look out there. oh, the kick was so deep that it drove them ito the goalpost. this kid bounced right back up and played just a few moments later and he held on to the ball. he hurdles the defender.
