♪ i'm clinton portis. i know we're playing a scene from the bay area, i hope the redskins didn't fool me any gold. >> jared goff, no problem. derek carr, a bit of a problem. >> i'm steve czabin. don't kid yourself. there's two games tonight, skins/radars. and carr versus -- >> this is "redskins showtime." >> oh, you have to love it. hello, everyone. welcome to week three on "redskins showtime." big night here on nbc for redskins taking on the raiders on "sunday night football." who here is ready for another how you like me

you feeling good about this one? >> i'm ready for some running game, man. they sold me fool's gold last week. i need to see more of it. >> isn't that funny, we didn't even talk about the running game after the eagle's loss. here 200 and -- i think it was the most of any team in single game so far this season, 229. >> 229. it was a surprise. that would be the last thing anybody would have expected last week. >> i'm so tired of asking for this running game. i finally stopped asking and, look, santa claus delivers. >> now you're skeptical. now you're like, it's fool's gold. you should be rejoicing. >> i'll be skeptical until week four. >> okay. >> it didn't help that rob kelly had cartilage issues. we'll get to chris thompson whether his role needs to be expanded. it's my favorite segment, the emoji of the week. clinton, start first. >> i mean, this is what we're going to need. we're going to need 22 guys

they have to play like ba boons, apes. when you walk out of the tunnel, know you're in for a dog fight. know you're at home, this is your stadium. go out and take advantage of it. >> all of it. so you got to be -- you have to be all of that combined. >> i don't have that emoji on my phone. >> you have to upgrade. you got an iphone 5. >> go ahead, kevin. >> mine is a bundle of cash which clinton and i put together. we put all of our money into a bundle of cash and we're going to give it to jay gruden to keep the same game plan this week that he had last week. how much is in there? go ahead and tell everybody. >> we put together a bundle of cash and put it on the raiders. [ laughter ]. >> wow. >> redskins, i should mention -- >> you aren't supposed to tell everybody that. >> redskins are three-point underdogs for sunday night. what's your emoji?

emojis. mine is arm and cash. this is a battle of kirk and derek carr because carr got paid. >> yep. >> the comparison is going to be made. you know this, that winning the game is one thing, but kirk has to show himself to be at least in the same zip code as a baller as derek carr for the never-kirkers as i call them, okay, maybe we should pay him franchise money. >> you used my emoji. >> sorry about that. >> not going to be a distraction that he's just short timer, but derek carr $125 million, 5-year deal. you know that's what kirk cousins wants. it's a distraction for us. >> you know what's interesting, i didn't think about it until you brought it up. i should because i was so wrapped up in the contract. right now i want kirk to get some rhythm and confidence. i don't think he played well in the first two games. the money talk, the contract talk i think is to the

he has to get in rhythm like he was last year. he's had two very difficult games in a row, even though the end of last week was great. >> well, how about the fact that he didn't throw it down field longer than 14 yards until the game winner. >> right. >> which is crazy that the game plan clinton was almost like we're not sure this passing game seven ready to win a game, so let's run it. >> well, i totally agree. i think the offensive line had problems. you throw short, quick passes, you found something that worked in the running game, so why throw it down field. but when you look at this game, kirk's going to have to use his arm this time. i don't know, the money really shouldn't be an issue. don't forget, kirk made over 40 million in two years. he's okay. >> yeah, but if he loses to derek carr all season, he's not worth that much money. >> people will say that, but i agree, kevin. it's a bad fallacy. it's a fallacy to equate if he loses this game. but you know people are going to make that comparison. >> yeah. >> kirk has

swagger. he's leaving a lot of big plays out there. >> you know what will help, just having one deep ball that completed. he doesn't have one on the season. >> well, he threw one to start the season and our wide receiver didn't know it was coming to him. >> right. >> he hasn't completed one yet this season. don't go anywhere, it's one of our top weeks go around on the round table. clinton is licking his chops going to talk more about the run game, plus, how to beat beast mode and mute max. stay with us. ♪

>> announcer: "redskins round table" brought to you by -- all right. welcome back to "redskins showtime." "round table time." clinton portis joins us and espn 980s kevin sheehan and steve czabin in the house. talking run game, nobody thinks they'll go 39 carries in one game again, but 146.5 yards per game, third in the league right now in rushing. clinton, i know you're excited. >> well, there's two games and that's after one big game. the first game they didn't really establish the run. this game, they're definitely not going to go 39 carries. if they can get 25 to 30 carries in this game, i think it's a win for the redskins because that means they kept the ball, they controlled the clock and it gives you an opportunity to rest kirk and let kirk come out and be a playerwh

the ball around instead of having to win this game by himself. >> if they run the football that much, they're keeping their best players, khalil mack and bruce irvin from doing what they do best which is rush the passer. it may be the right game plan again this week. >> that game plan was ripped out of like 1982 in this league. i mean you don't see that these days. and i don't know if it's even possible to do it in back-to-back weeks. i think they might have caught mcvail flat footed with that attack. >> did you hear the stat kind of everyone's jaw dropped. they hadn't had three backs with 65 plus yards in one game. >> since the '50s. >> since 1956 or something like that, it's crazy. chris thompson. >> if we didn't have a back that ran into contact, we would have more. i've never seen a guy with wide open field run into a guy who is isolated. >> when he should have cut outside. >> there's one he should have cut out and the other time he got tackled by a safety in the

what are your thoughts on that, clinton? >> he had an opportunity to cut outsi the firne he got stuck in his move early on. showed it too quick. lamarcus joyner is a great player. he made a play. the second one he should have kept it outside. i think he had at least 20 more yards to gain if he would have. >> too much shake, not enough bake is that it? too much of this, not running away from guys. >> i think it caught him by surprise that he was in open field. >> how about not enough chris thompson? three carries. he's averaging at least in l.a. he averaged 25-plus yards per carry. everyone wants him to have an expanded role. jay gruden said maybe but he's too important. do you believe him? >> if he's too important, i mean, i thought the important people get the ball. if you look at around the nfl, all the important people antonio brown they don't save him, odell beckham, they don't save him. so you have a chris thompson, you have a special weapon, why safe him? feed him the ball. if he's making those type of plays, i'm not

plays for another week because you never know if you'll get to him. >> you got him in there as first and second down as the primary running back? >> man, how long have i been telling you about first and second down? >> jay gruden thinks it's a danger to do that. >> he has a broken back, college had a torn acl, rookie season -- >> yeah, he plays football. i mean, this is what happens when you play football. >> his bones caught up to him. he's grown into a young man, a durable young man. >> they want to protect him. >> yeah, i've never seen a coach protect his players the way we do now. everyone is protected. everyone is protected. >> did you see what they did to clinton? what coach gibbs did three yards in a cloud of dust. he was the galloping ghost in denver, 5.5 yards a carry and you came in here, you said, three yards, i'll take it. >> you know what, and not only did i take it, i think it made me a man. i thought i was tough in denver. going through that, i really realized i was tough. so anybody could get it. >> right.

be a good number for thompson. and that doesn't seem like a lot, but you have to work to make sure he's getting five targets and he's getting five carries. >> well, how many touches did he have, five, six, seven, something like that? >> three carries and dropped a 60-yard touchdown, which i can't be mad about. >> if you want to save chris thompson, guess what, take him off kick return. >> yeah. >> well, that would be nice. same thing for breeland. >> it's continuing according to gruden this week. kirk cousins, big night, not going to be on the field with derek carr, but the comparison is already starting. also, going to have a baby any minute. at the time of this taping, already a few days past due. does this weigh on a player's mind at all when you have such an important game on the schedule and your first born child any minute? >> when you're on that field, one thing about it, nothing should be weighing on your mind. when you step on that field, by the time you come out of the

clear and you understand it's time to play football. i have 60 minutes to play and once it's over, you can go back to whatever your life is. so i don't think it should weigh heavy on him. if the child -- i mean, she got to go through labor. the game should be over by that time. >> for 44 million i guarantee his wife is saying get out there and play real good football. we need more of this. >> baby need new shoes. all right. so let's talk about the offensive line because they actually deserved a lot of the credited. they said they wanted the challenge of a run game. now they have the reigning defensive player of the year and it could be up against -- matched up with morgan moses who is nursing an ankle injury. >> yeah, the best defense for khalil mack is don't let him rush the passer. if they can run it, it's not like they did last week. i think that's an anomaly. they can run it with purpose on first and second down and get short third downs, that's going to be huge in this game.

success running football in the first two weeks against the raiders. >> okay. >> so i would be surprised if they don't come out and try to do a lot of what they did against the rams. >> well, for me, i think i finally found something that sean was good at and that's pulling. in space he looked good. i mean, we've been torturing him. i have to give him credit for saying he had a decent game last week. and if you continuously put him in this game plan and allow him to go out and develop, you can possibly have something in this running game. >> one of the side bar stories of this game is terrelle pryor who is predicted he's going to have a big night tonight. he is going against the team that drafted him, that let him go as a quarterback. and he says he's glad he's not under center anymore. he says he sees how much kirk cousins is getting hit. that guy really needs to step up because they need him. they need him to be the receiving threat that they planned on. >> i'm still bullish on pryor by the time the season gets up and running. little bit of a slow start. hands are an issue right

but he is so fluid and so athletic in space and such a big target, i still feel strongly about him this year. >> you start or sit him, kevin? >> oh, i start him. oh, over what, marshawn lynch? >> did we become a fantasy show all of a sudden? i had no idea. is it a ppr league? >> the key to their pass offense is to have jordan reed on the field. he demands most of the coverage and will open it up for pryor if he's on the field and productive. >> why are we not talking about the favorite issue -- >> that's coming up hot or not. >> i thought we would spend two blocks on that today. >> didn't we break down the -- >> yes. seriously? >> tell me what you want to say. >> i want to sentence it to a north korean gu log and we would never run it again. some things we never do it well. kirk doesn't throw it very well and we don't run it very well. >> i bet you loved on monday when she said he's going to run it more. >> he is

the quarterback doesn't want to throw it. >> when homer complained about the apples in vending machine in the simpsons and they put all apples in the vending machine. you love this segment, "show stopper." we're way more than just a punter, he invented a board game and he's sharing the fun. stay with us.

>> announcer: it's

"showtime show stopper," brought to you by -- >> ryan kerrigan had an entertaining new segment. he pregames with another game, an original. >> welcome back for our second edition of the show stopper showtime. i'm here today with a guy who a couple years back might have been known as the washington redskins punter, but now is the inventor of his very own trivia game. welcome aboard. >> ryan, thank you. i probably still known as the punter for the redskins. that's what most people, you know, i walk around town. i can go into movies, go into restaurants. most people don't know who i am. it's really pretty nice, man. >> tell us about the game. we obviously know it very well in the locker room. it's called what's your bid for those of you who aren't familiar with it at home. tell us how you came up with it and just tell us about it. >> yeah. so the game started in training camp last year. and it started over a college football question and it was about naming the top college football programs over the last 100 years. what i think a lot of people liked about it, there were

question instead of, hey who is the number one college football program of all time. it was hey, could you name ten of them. and so, everybody loved it during the game. i did questions about movie, food, history, geography. little by little it turned into a game and i copyrighted it in the off season. it's up and roll mchg we sold about 500 copies. we're a whole different venture other than football. >> that's awesome. i know i sure enjoyed playing it. what are the categories? you mentioned geography, sports, history. what am i missing? >> sports and entertainment, around the world and history, food and drink, science and animals and statistics just kind of like everyday stuff. it's not -- it could be anything from the -- top selling car colors to the road signs colors, stuff like that. >> what category would be your area of strength? i have good odds of getting it if it's a sports question. >> shockingly enough you would always think sports and

anybody over the age of 18, they kill the food and drink category. i don't know if it's just because we put some time on the earth and know -- you would be shocked when all of the food and drink questions come out, dude, people eat everyday. you know your stuff, man. >> let's play a little game here. why don't you think of a category. you can pick the category. you can pick the topic and i'll see how maniky rattle off. >> fair enough. okay. so my go-to question, the question that really kind of started it all, that was the question for everybody, it wasn't sports, it wasn't movies. it was a food and drink question. for those who don't know, ryan said earlier, the game is called what's your bid. if i ask for the top ten selling flavors of yogurts in the united states. you bid on how many you'll get you don't have to get allen the. if one of your team members throws out an incorrect guess or incorrect answer, all those points go to the other team. ryan, my favorite question probably sadly because i have experience with all of the flavors, is ten top selling

united states. so remember, how many of those ten do you think you could get right and give me your answers. >> let's see. i mean, there's three obvious. >> nice. >> so -- >> the big three. >> there we're good. i'm going to go with six. >> do it. do it. let's go. >> that's my bid. six. chocolate. vanilla. strawberry. rocky road. >> rocky road. two more. >> crap. ♪ >> butter pecan. >> wow. one more. >> oh my god. >> last one. >> geez. pressure is on. final countdown. um, moose tracks. >> no, sir. i'm sorry. >> god damn it. >> the five he was missing mint chocolate chip. >> that's a layup. >> chocolate

coffee and regular chocolate chip. >> the kid in me wants to absolutely beat me up for missing chocolate chip cookie dough. that's a layup. >> i understand. >> i had fun any way even though i lost. appreciate you coming on the show this week. >> heck yeah. >> back to you guys. >> moose tracks? >> moose tracks. >> i haven't heard of that one. that was a fun segment. top ten rushers, what's your bid of redskins' history, top ten rushers all time? >> clinton, clinton, clinton -- >> ladell betts. >> i could give you five. >> heather, do you have it? let me hear it. go ahead. >> rego. me. steven davis. larry brown. and who else did you just say? >> well, i gave three of the four. >> roy halu. >> i've got a guess. >> alfred. >> you talking yardage? >> you got it. it's

>> yeah. >> ching, ching, ching. >> we're winners. and what you get, you get another segment here on "redskins showtime," coming up, who is hot who is not. the final word, we'll figure out who has the final word. do you have a final word? do you? >> whoever you want to do it.

>> announcer: "who's hot and who's not," brought to you by -- all the redskins nation talking about who's hot. chris thompson. clinton, how many carries do you think he's going to get tonight? everyone is talking about expanded role for him. >> i think you have to get him ten touches in this game. that goes through passes and handoffs. so, not knowing how long you'll have rod kelly, even if you're going to have fat rod. you have to give him ten touches. >> then who is not? we're picking the fade. the fade. are we going to see it tonight? kevin? >> you proy

and kirk doesn't. so, i got two fades tonight with zero being successful. oh my god. >> it's never worked in the gruden history as the redskins' coach. he had it in cincy, but he doesn't have it here. >> when it does work, it will hit one, i'll buy a cake and bring in a picture of the fade on it. just enough time for our final segment -- >> announcer: "final word," brought to you by -- all right. you have 30 seconds. go ahead. >> final word is this -- you know, in theory, every game in the nfl equals the same amount, one win is one win. national tv win over quality opponents in the tv world especially against another elite quarterback it carries more weight. two and one, boys and girls, would be incredible come monday morning. >> still equals only one win. >> i know. in the standings, but in the carpalic existence and the vibe, it's a force
