we're going to find out if they are the only team in the nfl without an indoor practice facility. >> i can tell you that's not true. i covered the dolphins and the bucs and need had an indoor facility. >> i will bet you that. that he will talk them into it. they couldn't go outside this morning so they had to jog through in an airplane hangar at dulles for the second time this season. trend williams, this is good news. he did participate and seems likely to play ainst the colts. albert haynesworth is also back with the team after the death of his younger brother. here's the coach albers situation. >> i got a chance to talk him

a little bit. he went through a tough six days. had a good conversation with him. it will be a game time decision from our standpoint, where he's at. any time you're away for six days, there's conditioning, obviously. we want to see where he's at both physically and mentally. we understand what that and we understand the crisis that he was dealing with. so hopefully he can get back in shape and do the thi he needs to do to help us win. >> they could use him against the colts because the redskins' defense last in terms of yards. but they are also a top ten defense if you go by point allowed themselves rank ninth in the nfl. that ranking will betested sunday night. the colts coming ito fed-ex field with the third highest scoring offense in the nfl them throw up 28 points per game. that offensive course led by this man.

peyton manning. he is heavy on the pass. he is already thrown 11 touchdown passes, which is tight forward nfllead. he has arguably been the best and smartest quarterback for the last decade. that has nothing to do with him going to the university of tennsee, although they come out of there. it is peyton manning. never easy to solve. >> what w him running the show, he is like an extra coach on the feel. and he know exactly what he's looking at. you won't disguise a whole lot or confuse him a t with coverages. all those guys have made big plays. we have to try something. >> everything that a quarterback can do, that a quarterback is good at, he is good at. he can reach, he can make every throw, he can go from one side of the field to the other side of the feel and complete a throw. we're st going to have to man

up the plate. he is a great quarterback. there isn't too much he has not seen. nothing he hasn't seen. >> that's carlos rogs. there is a great piece in the post. i can't remember whether it was online or in the paper. but he now writes a blog post for him. he talk about when he played against peyton manning, it was a cat and mouse. you change the defense and he would change it again. you had to be the one that changed it last. absolutely. absolutely. he just studies and knows the game unlike any other. he is very, very good. we're talking college football. his guys looking for more luck against clemson. since he has come to town, the terps, 6-3 again clemson to win this weekend. the terps improve to 5-1 this season. maryland basketball team entering a new era. you can call i a.g.

the terps will not have him running the show. he was the heart, the soul and the mouthpiece. just five new freshman and only one player coming back to average double figures. a new look squad that would need to find a way to make up for the lost scoring. vasquez was the one who took shot with the game on the line for the la three years. he made a bunch of them. he had some help. those three things graduated and took combined 40 points per game with them. >> that has to come from somewhere. maybe we'll have to be a better defensive team than we were last year. defense is one of those thing you can get better at. that never stops becoming a good defensive team. there are a lot of ways to get it done. >> i feel as far as defensive se, i feel we would be more scrapp and a lot of thing would haveto score that many points as they did last year. so 40 point, it is a small

thing. >> people seem to forget that. they know it's like to win, they're so excited to be here. we're going to be a good team. >> that's jordan william, a sophomore. he takes oh theantle as the best player on the team. over at georgetown. he lost their best player to the nba after he was drafted seventh overall by the pistons. still some fe power coming back though. especially in the back court. they return a poet enback court of chris andustin. freeman was the team's leading scorer last season. just over 16 point per game. and he averaged about 15. now that they're seniors, they will have to get used to not having a dominant big man for the first time in eir career.

>> great passes. his passing ability was amazing. >> we still talk about it now. >> how many time do you hear that question? >> a lot. >> really? >> what do you mean? >> i mean, pretty much, we can't replace him but we'll have to work harder. >> i think it will be a chance to go out and try to do things offensively. so create plays. i think it wll be a lot more fun for us to create things we want to create. i love playing with him. but i think it gave us a chance to do what we are capable of doing. using all of that. >> that' chris. craig is gone and it is time to move on. the capitals improve to 3-1

after beating the islanders. they got another nice night between the pipe. he leads with three wins and seem to be getting better and better every night. the 22-year-old, not playing like a rookie. with the defense playing well in ont of him, he has been fearless. last time he had 23 saves against the islanders. he is playing so well. he is asking if there is a goalie controversy brewing. >> learning, every game is a big experice for me. getting better every year. >> he is making a greatase for himself. tonight was the best game. >> we'll see. we know he was a very good goalie, too. it won't ever be a controvsy. it will be just two, we're lucky and blessed with two good young

goalies. >> so we have ovi, neuvi and varley. can you keep that straight? >> i'll do my best. coming up, doug. a final check. the [ male announcer ] need a better way to save for the things you want?
