much into the depth chart this early but what the heck let's have funny way. of course, john beck is a little dinged up right now, quarterback, rex grossman listed as the number one quarterback so far because primarily because of beck's injury yesterday grossman did the majority of the work. beck still nursing a groin injury he did the 7 on 7 and walk through but not the 11 on 11. still very uncertain whether or not john beck will play friday night against the steelers, at 7:30, at fedex field right now the word is caution. >> i was hoping, it would be one of those things where i take sunday off and come back and everything will be good i never dealt with an injury like this in my career where it has been a muscle like this. i think the training staff were trying to figure out what the right decision is. >> everybody knows this is a

competition and you know it will last through training camp. >> do you thing you will start friday? >> i have not been told we are rotating every practice, go with the first group first and rotate through practice. i am just trying to get through you know wednesday's practice and i will worry about friday thursday night. >> that final practice getting ready to start in 10 minutes the guys making their way to the field behind me as we speak now if you have been with us all morning i hope you have, then you saw bruce alan earlier this morning we have a very interesting conversation he mentioned mcnabb they started trade talks with minnesota well before the lock out ever began and he also mentioned big albert haines worth no matter what, whether they could have traded for him or not was not going to be a member of this team this year. i asked about lowered expectations if he is selling patience to the red skins fan base take a listen.

>> we are looking for out of this is for it to come together as a team, really proud of the characters of this football team and i think the fans are really going to love the way they will fight for 60 minutes every game. i think so far tony and steve you can see that out here everybody is competing for a job no prima donna if you will for last year and years past. go back to the jason taylors and on and on with guys who come here and stood out among the other guys, not so this year a very work man like attitude. i think that is what the coaches and bruce alan and dan schneider ultimately want to see guys competing for jobs fighting for the right to be out there on that 53 man roster we will find out right now all indications are rex grossman would be the starter almost like default because of course john beck is limited in practice if he has been limited and still limited today, i can't imagine he goes on friday we will find out tony and steve

back the you guys. >> dave you know what i like about this training camp and you just said it in a way you have been reporting for a week and a half it is all about football. >> yeah, it has. >> no distractions no crazy things. >> we have to dig a little deeper tony because last year it was a lay up albert haines worth conditioning drill, donovan mcnabb that stuff is gone really it is about who is going to get those tough 53 spots to be on this team. >> i love everybody is in competition for him. >> yes, sir. >> thank you. we've got more on this wednesday morning. frightening moments in the sky, this is crazy, i would not have enjoyed this a flight heading to dc forced to make an emergency landing details up next. >> ahead later this hour a new way to experience -- this is fantastic, you can find some hidden treasures in the city and do so through games the whole family will love it holly will show us how it works taking us on a cell phone tour
