what are you talking about? >> the redskins. i saw you looking at that and i said i know he's going there. >> let me tell this. >> you need to fake him out. >> i'm going to do that. so the redskins had practice today. brandon banks, 5'7", 155 pounds. i've seen him get on his tiptoes to reach into his locker. he is the redskins' biggest impact player over the past few mes and that's why it really a big blow that he is in his first week of rehab after knee surgery. it is possible he could miss two to three weeks. hofar, mike shanahan gave a glimr of hopeful he said he is improving much quicker than

expected and he mighte able to play on monday night. that could be a gam changer for the redskins. last we against the lions. before he was injured. brandon banks was the man. he had several spectacular returns, including this one. a nick-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. in the first eight game, he ranked second in the league with 234 yards on punt returns. mike shanahan said he thinks banks' speedy recovery has a lot to do with his size. he is so small that he doesn't have a lot of weight on his knee. he is getting three to four trtments a day and mike shanahan added, banks' extra hard work is wearing him out. >> he is sleeping on the couch inside. he actually is. very small couch, i might add. i was looking, who is that over there in the sweatshir it was brandon. he's going through rehab and he is on the treadmill. not much swelling. >> brandon banks, 5'7". >> we need him. he is a player.

>> he is an unexpected surprise. this guy goes out there. as he ga changer. the redskins knew the talent that he had. they had no idea that he would be a part of the only unit doing anything for the rdskins. >> they need him. >> banks' first punt return was 53 yards against the eagles in week four. ironically it was also bank who's played michael vick on the scout team that week leading up to practice. he did well for the redskins as far as preparing them to go against that talented quarterback. michael vick may be a little more vigilant this time considering the last meeting was when the redskins knock him from the game. it was four week ago. the redskins traveled up to philadelia to face the eagles and it was that game that michael vick suffered a rib injury on this. it would ke him side lined for a month. but michael vick has proven this season, he is not to be put down. he returned to face the colts and he was unreal the top rated passer in the league this week. he threw his seventh touchdown of the season. he rushed for 74 yards.

one touchdown. mike shanahan summedt up saying what impresses hi the most is his speed. his elusiveness at the age of 30. the plers know they have a huge talent. >> with vick, we have to go back to what we started with the first game. we knew he would be the starting quarterback. that's to know that he is very good on his feet and he is throwing the ball very well. so we've got to be sound on both sides. >> you can't let him get loose and run for 47 yards on the third and 18 that you've seen him do. it breaks your back on defense. we've done a good job checking the last game and continue to be physical and run around and hit. >>is there a best way to tackle him? >> just do like we did last time. get off the field. >> that's an understatement. that's what they did. knocked him out. did you hear what gilbert arenas

told sports week? he said the reason that he faked his injury for nick young so nick young could get playing time when he did not make his debut was because he w worried about hearing the boosrom the fans out. there he was honestly worried. that is the latest gilbertism. gilberto over you don't believe it? >> who kno what to believe it. >> that's very true. the truth come in his performance on the court. theyake on houston rockets at home. houstoby the way is 9-1 against the wizards. and the wizards know they will have some growing up to do if they hope to get a win. they had tough practice. the wizards were expected to struggle as a young team. they showed that youth on saturday night again the cleveland cavaliers. they entered the fourth quarter with the tiedscore. they took the lead about halfway through. then the inexperience began to show as the wizards committed fouls that would stop the sxlok allow them tgain momentum.

both the players and coach say th execution has to get better. that starts by paying tango details. >> i think last game we had to learto finish them. get the rebounds. >> the second chance points. >> you can't turn the ball over. in the fourth quarter, you have to make those people, make them beat you. as far as making shots. when you're in a situation where you give them 15 easy points in the free-throw line, that really puts, takes a toll out. especially when you're ahead, the clock is stopped and it is easy for people to come back. >> he has his team right where he wants them because he made them have such a tough ek. those two a days. man. >> he did. we'll see what happens. these guys have responded so

far. >>he american terps played against the college of charleston. the terps were successful in their opener against seattle university proving they can fight and take charge of the time lines. this was a game in which gary william played all 13 players by the end. the tempo did not start off well for the terps. the less than spectacular season. perseverance as they did fd a by to use big offense and turn a close match-up into a 105-76 route. coach gary williams says his team really gained confidence. >> thehad quite a bit of confidence that they could come in and really attack us and they did. they knocked us on our hls early in the game. we had to come back. we got control of the game. then we played really well for stretches in the second half.

it was a good test for us and i think it was something for all of our players to see, you have to be ready to play. and the team aren't going to back off. you have to be the aggressor so hopefully we learned a lot from t. >> gary williams. still at it. 22 years, head coach. >> and going up against them. >> a very good friend of gary williams. >> yes, he does. >> you're welcome. coming up, the grinch on ice.
