. >> cris: how about without albert haynesworth? you talked about vince wilfork and the force up front to draw the double teams. how much of a difference is that going to make? >> i mean, he's the best defensive tackle in the game so of course, it makes a lot of difference but, at the same time, i'm not investing a hundred million dollars in one guy unless he touches the ball every single down and that is the quarterback. so i would have let him go and they're going to do a good job of rotating the guys and put different guys in there and guys have to step up. >> cris: you know it's sw interesting. he probably only took about 50 snaps in most games anyway because the whole league rotates their defensive backs in and out. >> al: peterson to the outside. rodney, we issue you much success. welcome to the business, my man. great to have you aboard. >> thank you for having me. >> al: we will watch you every sunday night before we go to work. >> cris: good luck watching the ten games at a time on sunday! >> you enjoy belaire country club.

and you have the $100 million man, albert haynesworth. we saw quickly what big albert brings to the table. this guy is a stallion on the defensive line. he felt comfortable with everything in that game except maybe his jersey, which was a bit too tight. he was commanding a double team on nearly every play. and still getting into the back field to put pressure on the quarterback. he is making the job easier for all of his teammates and they love it. but albert still staying grounded. >> i didn't think we did too bad. i mean, we got a lot of talent and stuff like that. i thought we improved on some things. some things we didn't, but we'll get better. it's preseason. it takes time. we've got a new defense. still trying to gel. the same thing happened my rookie near. we had a new defense. a lot of new players. we just had to gel. once we gelled, we were a good defense. >> we saw some great things. he was plugging up the middle. that why his pass rush, he's still working the kinks out. i just saw his presence over there. >> oh, yeah. he's a hug

defensively new addition, albert haynesworth and brian orakpo. both seemed like they can be game changers. all the redskins want to see tonight is progress. >> final dress rehearsal before the big show. this is the last opportunity to get in our corrects and made from -- previous mistakes from the last two games. communication and the past runners. stoppage and everything. this is it. >> intensity will pick up because you know that -- you kn, you will be facing a really good football team first and foremost. then we will be doing, you know, for majority of football games. so with that being said obviously the focus has to be

albert haynesworth, it's going to take five guys to block this man. he is going to do wonders for your defensive line. what is it he brings to the table? >> he is a powerful, strong guy. he hit me this morning during the walk-through. i was like, man, don't hit me like that any more. any time you can get a guy like that as strong as he is, he's going to take on a double-team and triple team. guys like me to be one-on-one and maybe tackle or get to the quarter. i play with a lot of good players. cortez kennedy was the same way in seattle. michael sinclair and myself, all of us had great numbers. i'm thinking we'll have better numbers. >> that is phillips daniels. i'm wearing the orange shirt today. i did feel like a human traffic cone sitting next to that guy. he is so massive. he told me after when his playing days are over, he wants to be a sports agen he has the brains to go with the brawn. >> all right. wouldn't want to usle with him at all. >> those are big guns. thanks, dan. >>> they say everything is bigger in texas. that includes the cost of pi

clinton portis and albert haynesworth will not play tonight. however, there will be plenty of eyes on backup quarrback brennan and todd collins. for now, colt may be the people's choice but what matters is the coaches' choice. collin is the number two qb. brennan is in his second year with the redskins and still in the growth and learning stage as an nfl quarterback. jim zorn will have a very tough decision to make. it is likely, though, he will stick with this guy, 15-year veteran collins who has been through this before and welcomes the competition. >> every year, you know, it is the same in the sense that you know there will be competition. somebody playing better than you, you know, then they are going to probably, you know, move up. my outlook has always again to prepare like a starter and prepare and be able to play at that level. you are not playing for a backup spot. you know, you are mott chasing, you know, the number two spot, number tee spot. everyone should have the mindset they are trying the play at the level of a starter and then
