be a happy mood. i heard something that stunned me. almost 1,500 yards, accumulated against this team in the first three games, the most ever in the history of a national football league. that really sucks. >> reporter: yeah, that fact stands out. it's a stat that i don't think this team is proud of. this defense continues to struggle here after week three. if you are wondering on the offense side of the ball, robert griffin iii, he's not playing like last year. pierre answered that question definitively today. >> i don't think he's 100%. he's giving 100% effort to get to 100%. i don't think he's 100%. he will get there. he's playing with injuries, everybody is hurt. i had to play with an injury last year. i know what he's going through. it's not surprising, but something you have to deal with when you are in a league during

the season. >> do you think robert is 100% right now? he's playing with the effort, but physically, is he 100% in your eyes? >> the defense isn't playing well enough to win. as far as making big plays and helping the team win. i'm focused on the defense. i don't think we are playing well enough to worry about anybody else. >> reporter: two players with two different thoughts. coach shanahan says rg iii is 100%, otherwise, he wouldn't be on the field. chris cooley believes rg iii is almost at 100%. in the cooley report, he believes two plays would have changed the momentum of that game. robert griffin iii says two judgment calls were game changers for the team. one being the slide which he fumbled. >> the dive. >> reporter: the dive, exactly.

did he know the rule? >> he did know the rule. i did not know the rule. it's a rule that changed, i hate it. it's a dumb rule. to quote robert, it's a stupid rule. we are talking robert taking less hits an getting down. he clearly declares himself down diving. i'm down as a quarterback, please don't hit me. >> robinson laying out to make the grab. it's not a touchdown. >> yeah, i think that was one of the biggest highs of the game, not only because it's a point where they take the lead. it's the first time you have seen the play action connection that you saw last year. if i'm the receiver in that situation, i feel like i catch the ball. he comes down with it and up with it. it bobbles around a bit, but his hand stays on the ball. >> reporter: we could be talking a victory if he makes the catch. >> if he makes the catch, i think we win by three touchdowns. we are that good.

momentum is so good. we pile the points on. you could win the football game. you take a lead and hope to keep it. on the same token, they didn't hold, they gave up a scoring drive after that and gave the lions the lead. >> reporter: are they in a position where they are breaking the emergency glass, hitting the fire alarm -- >> i am. >> reporter: you are going to smack through it. >> i'm going smack through the glass. >> reporter: i can imagine what you are like. >> it's a good thought. we are close to doing that. at this point, we play oak larnd, we have a chance for 1-3, then a by week. you recoup and a huge game in dallas. if there's a way to win the next two games, the panic button is this far from being pushed. >> reporter: that panic button, you can feel the energy in the locker room when you chat with the players and ask what they

need to work on. they don't give specific answers. they say one thing, this team needs to win. it will be the difference maker if they get the victory against oakland sunday. let's talk baseball right now. the orioles trying to get a win in tampa this afternoon. a much bigger challenge watching all-star third baseman, manny machato. top four. raise up 1-0. davis at the plate. a two-run shot. 52nd of the season. 2-1 lead. unbelievable. chris davis, again. then the bad news for the orioles. watch this, top 7. up with one out. grounds one to second. watch as he runs to first. manchato hits the base, goes down, grabs his knee.
