but the gift of this receiving core is more impressive because they don't have an andre johnson.uys they have stepped up and he makes everybody better and he spreads it around and that's what you are getting and that's what you hope to see all year. and i don't know if you expect to see a wide open offense as much as they saw yesterday. they're going to have to get the running game in order, to be a big time contender. but so far so good at the quarterback position. after the game, he's a leader and he'll let you know he's a leader by his comments. >> i'm a competitor and i hate losing. it doesn't matter if i pass for 500 yards or 100 and something, it's about winning and that's what the bottom line is. at the end of the season it's about wins and losses. who has 8, 9, ten wins to get into the playoffs or who is not able to get in. and i think this team is talented enough where we can be able to bounce back after a game like this and get this thing rolling and i look forward to obviously being able to lead that for these guys. >> i love to hear that and i'll tell you why. because

they have a guy, andre johnson being heard of him in. >> yes. >> you should have heard of him because he might be the very best wide receiver in all of the nfl. he is big. he is strong, he is physical. he make defensive backs have nightmares in their sleep. last week, realtively calm because that foster kid we talked about went nuts. ' a beast. he is an animal. he is not a guy can you cover with a little corner. you better get some help there. i think deangelo hall will be looking for safety help from laron landry to come over and get this kid. >> would thought the houston texans would be the fantasy football darlings? >> we have to talk about some other guys to the defensive side of the ball. they have a guy, mario williams. you know of him because way back when, he was the number one pick in the entire nfl draft in front of vince young, in front of reggie bush and at times the former redskins gm made this pick. he got run out of town in houston for making this pick. this guy has turned out it be a stud. he stops the run there. this guy is not an easy match- up. get guess would gets

and andre johnson, the best receiver in the nfl, had over 1,500 receiving yards. opened this season by beating the colts 34-24 in perhaps the biggest win in franchise history. the quarterback and e receiver tandem of schaub and johns hopkins, a nonfactor. the offensive load carried by a little known running back known as aryan foster who is the leading ruer in the nfl. it has only been one week but foster is putti on a show. foster was anundrafted free agent out of the university of tennessee two years ago. coming into the season, he had 257 career rushing yards. sunday, he explod for a texas franchise record 231 yards and three touchdowns. he is a big back. 6'1" and 227 pounds, and he is a very decisive runner. once he sees the hole, he is gone. foster adds a new dimension to the offen and he will surely be a main focus of the redskins' defense. >> he has that one cut. he is really good at it. and seeing the hole and making that cut and getting up the field. so we have our workut out for us. >> you know the funny thing about it, he is in the same draft class as m
