and now beck will get a chance. the same beck that spoke like he was the starter in the offseason and the same beck that mike shanahan fell in love with when he came out of byu in '07 and now it's beck's job to lose. >> i've got a lot of confidence in john beck because he has that mobility and a strong arm. i'm not going to put him in the hall of fame yet but i believe he has a lot of talent and just as he showed in the fourth quarter, hopefully he can keep on doing that and we can see some of his mobility help us out as well. >> things change in the blink of an eye and you always have got to be ready and i'm just trying to move forward with this opportunity to do the very best that i can. i was hoping the day would come when i would get the opportunity but like i said, i just never knew, and over these last six weeks, i've just been trying to prepare myself for if it did happen and now the preparation will come into play. >> i was frustrated. not completely surprised but you know, disappointed that i wasn't able to

they sacked john beck nine times today. prior to the game they had four sacks all season and beck's top counterpart ryan fit patrick made the redskins feel like they had too much to drink. redskins playing their first regular season game outside the united states and looking to end a two-game losing streak. 1st quarter no score. ryan fit patrick finds tight end scott -- fitzpatrick finds tight end scott chandler, 20 yards for the touchdown, bills jumping out to take 7-0 lead. 2nd quarter redskins fatal beck, completes it to fred davis -- redskins find beck, completes it to fred davis. on the play beck follows through and dings his thumb on a helmet. it obviously boyered him, but he stayed in the game. -- bothered him, but he stayed in. a few plays later beck gets wiped out, one of nine sacks on the day matching a team record. the field goal attempt was blocked on the very same play. fitzpatrick picked off by london fletcher to end the threat. 38 seconds left in the half, fitzpatrick threw a pass to fred jackson, turns it in

beck replaced grossman last week. it will be beck's first start since 2007 when he was with miami. it be able to bring some stability to the skins' offense? will he survive in will they win in let's check in with the sports junkies. they had to make this decision. what do you think? >> i think it was the only decision that could be made. you can't continually trot rex gross man out there if he is go he go to have a quarterback rating in the 20s. won't have that sort of game every time out but his play declined ever since the opening week win against the giants where we had a 110 rating. it all culminated in the 23 rating against the eagles. you had to bring in beck. >> rex got emotional when he was talking about t he knows he was given a shot and he had the opportunity to run with it and succeed and he blew it. we don't know what is going to happen with john beck. john beck hasn't started a game in forever in the regular season so it is at great unknown. >> but don't expect miracles from john beck. >> i don't. >> don't expect him to go out there and look like tom brady. he will str

in the fourth the skins bet on beck. beck did play pretty well.rs tin all the way down to the 2-yard line, and that sets up old number 12. back in the day they would say he's calling his own number, but we know better than that. quarterbacks don't call their own number these days. beck gets in there. that's a touchdown and makes it 20-13. that's as close as the redskins get. they pick up a third down and run out the clock. the eagles are 2-4. the redskins drop to 3-2 and the quarterback debate is on. here's grossman on how he has to handle a game like today. >> got to flush it. i mean, there's so many times in this league that you face adversity for one reason or another. you know, you go to go back to your core belief that, you know, i believe in myself no matter if the whole stadium doesn't, coaching staff doesn't. whatever the situation is, i believe in myself that every single play i'm going to get it done. so, you know, i fall back on that. >> do you think maybe you waited too long to pull rex after that fourth interception? >> well, you know

beck or grossman? >> i go with beck. >> i go with beck. three for beck in studio. >> four picks you can't take him. >> you could eventually go back to grossman as well. >> now vert left practice after aggravating a foot injury. no timetable for his return. thomas vokoun 3-3 with the caps winning all three games he started. he is just the second caps goalie in 15 years to win the first three games in the season. the caps trying to go 5-0 tomorrow night hosting the florida panthers. tonight the panthers down in tampa where the lightning were giving away free zamboni rides for everybody. how about the passing? he goes top shelf. panthers roll 7-4 in tampa. they will be in the verizon center tomorrow night to take on the caps. we will be there live. >> thanks. >> thank you, dan. >>> a new laser treatment could help men and women with thinning hair. some physicians are using the mep-90 hair laser to regrow hair. it stimulated blood flow to damaged follicles on the stall up. is it approved for women and men can use it too but it won't work for e

day two of the beck era at redskins park today. and for those of you don't remember how he got here. he was acquired in the trade from the ravens last season during training camp. this sunday he's making his first regular season start since december of '07. his rookie season was with miami. despite his lack of playing time since then, his teammates have full faith in his ability to lead the team and beyond. >> he played well in preseason. it's just the fact that he hasn't had any reps in games this year. so you kind of hope he gets a fair chance and stays calm and that's the game plan and that's what we expect him to do. he has lofty expectations at the quarterback position and we expect him to lead us to a win. >> we feel confident with him out there. we've seen them pick us apart in practice so we feel like he knows what to do, he knows how to execute it. but game speed is a little different. things move faster and there is no repeats. so hopefully he'll go out there and feel confident and he'll get us a win. we need one. >> yeah

. >> welcome to the era of john beck. he has now become the go-to guy. head coach mike shanahan announced the shake-up last week. beck got his chance last week after rex grossman was benched after throwing four interceptions. beck says he's ready to prove his worth. >> i don't ever want to try to convince somebody from a microphone. i want to go out on the field and play the way i can play. you want to go out, as a quarterback, and earn the respect of people by playing well. that's my number one goal. >> beck hasn't started in an nfl game since 2007. but he started in the fourth quarter last week. >> he threw for one touchdown. didn't look too bad. he's under a lot of pressure, though. what happens after this, though? there's no fallback. so i am just hoping against hope that beck pulls it out. >> there's not much bench beyond that. >> good luck, go skins. >>> ahead on news 4 today, a bizarre accident leaves one man dead while walking on the streets in the district. >> what's next for lindsay lohan? >>> plus, we're tracking i will awaken you with a song.

now the job is beck's to louisiana and the season riding on him. shanahan going all in on a quarterback who has not started a regular season game since 2007. >> i've got a lot of confidence in john beck because he has mobility and a strong arm. i'm not going to put him in the hall of fame yet but i really do believe he has a lot of talent and just as he showed in that fourth quarter, hopefully he can keep on doing that. and we can see some of his mobility help us out as well. >> i don't want to convince someone from a microphone. i want to go out on the field and play the way i can play. you just want to earn the respect by playing well. that's my number one goal. i'm not going to worry about anything else. >>> from football to the pitch. d.c. united needed to beat the portland shiver me timbers tonight. the ball in the box. the shot, how about this? that is sweet. ties it up at 1. his 16th goal of the season. in the 89th minute. united on the offensive. oh, no what do we have here? a header for the goal. are you serious? but it's no goal because h

pushed him to choose beck as the starter. here's what they all had to say after the announcement was made public. >> it's always a tough decision to make. doing what john did in that game, his mobility, i believe he deserved a chance to show us what he can do. >> things changed in a blink of an eye. i was hoping the day would come and i would get the opportunity. i never knew. i have been trying to prepare myself. >> as for the rest of the team, those that commented today strayed from controversy, giving the politically correct answer. >> a very talented quarterback that hasn't really, you know, had his shot yet to really prove who he can be in his league. watching every day and some of everything, man. he really gets into what he does. i am looking forward to the opportunity. >> and some good news on the redskins offensive weapons front. runningback, tim hightower was full participation at practice today. in dealing with the hurt shoulder. we didn't see him at all last sunday. the teams are set. tonight game one of the world

john beck was sacked nine teams know times by a bills defense that has -- nine times by a bills defense that has four total sacks entering the game. >> i don't know if they brought blitzes we didn't see. it was just a tough day. >> there were some that were probably on me there and part of the protection is the quarterback as well, it's my job to get the ball out of my hands to see where i can help my guys out. >> reporter: but beck wasn't putting together scoring drives. in fact, the skins only managed 178 yards of offense. that won't get you a w considering the defense gave up 390 yards to the bills. >> just a blur right now. it's just i don't know. man, loss for words. i rail thought we were prepared. i -- i really thought we were prepared. i really knew we needed this game to stay in the race. we're not technically out of it, but this is obviously devastating. >> i stopped looking at the scoreboard. didn't even know it was 23-0. so it was frustrating. it was frustrating to not be able to get some things going defensively. i felt like we knew when of where we were going and it didn't

the john beck era and his fate may be linked to that of the entire team. if beck makes the transition from backup to starter, the skins may be able to jump start the offense and, us this, get back in the win column. the first test comes tomorrow at carolina and that is his fifth career start. the first came back in 2007 with the miami dolphin and that time was winless and finished one in 15. beck is getting the rare tune, a second chance to -- rare opportunity, a second chance to make a rare first impression. >> the situation that i stepped in as a rookie was a difficult one. we're winless, you know, the organization was through a lot of struggles. that year, we were 0-mean error error and this -- 0-9 and this is still the beginning part and this team has a good feeling about it, when we're together and on game day, we feel good about the situation. that is different than the one was in. >> and this is the sunday lineup here on fox 5. what a day it is in sports. the redskins and panthers kick off the coverage at 1:00 p.m. and followed by the packers and vi

mike shanahan naming john beck as the start. shanahan said he was pretty impressed.ou've been in the locker room all week long. now that he's been named the starter, do they still have the same feeling that things aim towards beck. >> i think santana moss still thinks rex grossman should be. i don't know if the receivers necessarily feel that way, but erik cook the new center has been practicing with beck all along. i think some feel bad for rex and he had one bad game and he's out. >> you mentioned erik cook the new center. he's one of a few new players/positions on the offensive line. they lost trent williams this past week. but having all of these new players shuffled around, what kind of effect does that have? >> definitely a negative effect. both guys are gone over there. carolina is not the best defense in the league. if you were playing the ravens, it would be a problem. it's good to get a break from an inferior defense and see what happens down the road. >> carolina has been setting records left and right and they're still 1-5. what kind of threat is he to th

beck finally has the chance. see why the coach had the backup a chance.ould they keep post season dreams alive. that is coming up next in sports. >>> the washington redskins have 11 turnovers. all 11 of them are credited to rex grossman. it's been his mo throughout his nine-year pro career and unfortunately it came to a head last sunday against philly. so now the john beck era begins. how long that will be is yet to be determined. mike shanahan announced today that beck would be the starter sunday when the skins travel to face carolina. beck says he worked the off season with super bowl quarterbacks erin rogers and brew breeze in hopes that his time to leave this team would eventually come. it's here. here is more from mike shanahan on his decisions. >> you have to go with your gut. like i said, we have two guys we can win with but i want to give john an opportunity to see what he can do. >> there has been a lot of hard work that's gone into this and you never know when your opportunity is going to come and you always have to stay ready. i've tried to did

and then rex grossman, the guy that beat out john beck, yanked yesterday for john beck.don't know who will start. but rex grossman had a very bad day yesterday and here is how it all went down. rex was making his 8th start as a redskin and his most forgettable. completed 9 of 22 passes, picked off four times matching a career high. he now has 11 turnovers through 9 games, 9 interceptions and two lost fumbles. after the fourth, shanahan had seen enough. john beck making his first start since sept 2007. he didn't start but first action. he can run and he showed that during his fourth quarter clearance. 117 and his longest a 32-yard hookup with terrance austin which led to the redskins lone touchdown in the 20-13 loss to the eagles. now the question is, is it grossman or beck sunday against its panthers? >> i've not made up my mind right now. i have talked to the coaches to get their opinions on the play. you go through game situations and look at who is active and who gives you the best chance to win. >> i feel like he deserves another shot. he played a hell of a game. tom

. >> reporter: all right shawn yeah, we got another controversy, john beck lost a very close race, to rex gross man who became the starter. flash back a year ago, donovan mcnabb was the starter but with three games left he was yanked for grossman now, five games in, grossman's yanked for john beck and whenever you yanking quarterbacks it is not a good scenario for the head coach he started for the 8th time as a red skin sunday. proved to be his worst, matched career high with four interceptions against eagles finishing only 9 of 22 passes and a 23.7 qv rating, cue john beck who came in, first regular nfl game since december 30th, 2007 lead offence to its lone touchdown of the day, completed 8 of 15 passes, 79.0 quarterback rating so who will mike shanahan go with next week at the carolina panthers? >>> i have not made up my mind right now i have talked to our coaches but just get their opinions on play you go there game situations go back and look at all the games, look at who is going to be active who gives you the best chances to win, we constantly do that, that will never change. >
