today some of the guys that weren't there with carlos rogershe was not not on field, nor was cartwright. these guys are trying to get themselves back. coach zorn is concerned about cartwright because normally he never misses practice and had a groin injury. they are working to get the guys back out there and the veterans are very excited. you talk about the veterans and the guys that have started for a while. then you go to the rookies and you have a guy like maryland's kevin barnes, cornerback, who is trying to basically solidify himself with playing time. he had a rough go at it to start the preseason. really needs to impress the coaches that he can handle moving from the college game at maryland and up into the nfl. barnes did not play well there the first game but played bet gerns the steelers. third quarter, barnes broke up a pass during one-on-one coverage with the receiver on the outside. ran the perfect route, jumped in and knocked it away. barnes, , roieokomfriean maryld says you know what, i'm veryar awe that it is tough to make an impact in my first year. >> orakpo, only one

meanwhile, running back, rock cartwright, number 31. sat out because of a groin issue. little concerned about this. not normally a guy that misses practice. didn't want to push it. as for veterans like london fletcher grinding it out in practices all week. isn't taking it easy as far as this game is concerned. time to really show what they have. because you know, you are going to be facing a really good football team. first and foremost. going to be doing it for for, majority of the football game. with that being said. obviously the focus has to be there. you are watching. definitely. paying more attention to all that need to be done. so you can, play well. >> the final dress rehearsal before the big show. where the live bullets flying around. and season opener. so, the right opportunity to get directions. made some mistakes from the last two gramz. and communication. the pass rush. the runs. stoppage. everything. this is it. >> defensive, rj carter could barely breathe. just doing sprints on the field. something the defense has been doing a lot of. rookies know this is

but obviously secretary gates, vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general cartwright have targeted systems that are exquisite. as somebody that is professional acquisition in shaping the programs, sometimes the exquisite made the military the best military in the world. what is the balance point to make sure you're not going too far? but for military life or death application. >> you hit the critical issue. as we weigh the capability, what we need is confidence in the stability of the technology, ability to produce it quickly and efficiently to get it to soldiers on an expedited basis. lesson learned of this war is that we need advanced technologies. some would call them exquisite. what we have been able to do is stabilize it and produce it and get it to soldiers quickly and that i think is what the secretary of defense wants to us do which is not to spend years dithing over specific issues. even as we continue to seek improvements. as you refer to our conversation earlier the ability to continue to improve capabilities is fundamental to our concept. we'll set initial threshold req

the skins won't have cartwright tomorrow. he has a pulled groin. he played a key role in last saturday's game against the steelers. the skins very first series was one of the highlights. he got the first down and the skins with the win. now, he's out and at least for tomorrow night. >> i feel better. called -- .

no carlos rogers or rock cartwright for friday's game against the patriots. bigger question than who might play is who if anybody can score like maybe the first team offense who so far is 0-2 in the preseason. last saturday at fed ex field, the first team offense marched all the way down to the field to the three-yard line against the steelers only to be stopped not once but twice. ladell beths could not get in the end zone on second or third down. jim zorn, how imperative is it that your starters score this week? >> very imperative. but if you asked me the first week had we not played the game, i would have given you the same answer. it's for the like i'm stressing over not getting into the end zone yet that's what our goals are every time we put our offense on the ball. >> scoring or not, my only goal is to go out there and get something going and scoring would be nice. that's the goal cha you have every time you -- that you have every time you go out on the field. whatever the outcome is -- [ indiscernible [ f. >> which brings us to the other side. the bal

ross cartwright barrels 50 yards down. portis 11 yards on this draw down to the pittsburgh 11. they would have to settle, though, for the 20 yarld field goal and the redskins take a 3- 0 lead. it wouldn't last. steelers on second and goal from the 3. toss sweep to willie parker, busts out and dances in for the score. steelers have a 10-3 lead. the redskins had a chance the tie it before the half but todd collins would get picked off at midfield. that would kill the redskins drive and the burgundy and gold hits the break down 7. they redeem themselves in the third. chase daniel the fade to marco mitchell for a touchdown. then in the 4th, the 'skins down 3 punting toll steelers but jay burnett would lose the ball.

cartwright, rogers, mike williams. three of the guys that will not be on the field mitt. but the players who will be playing are treating this like a regular season game. starters could play as much as 2 1/2 to 3 quarters. say what you will about the preseason in general. the redskins might have the toughest prey season schedule in the league. last week it was the super bowl champs. the redskins offense and defense have had their moments. clinton portis looks solid on offense. 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 obv

as general cartwright said, the reality is, he still has another full brigade to come in. these forces are still flowing. they already have then made available and approved by the president. he needs some time and we need some time to see what the impact of all of that is. >> the only other thing that i've with that is as we have watched and you have watched what is going on in afghanistan, the ied fight is pretty lethal. that is one area that we are going to have to focus in on, whether it is an adjustment in our laid down and tactics, whether it is additional resource, we have to take a serious look at that and we will have to do that some. >> given what you said about beating back the taliban and the comment about needing to secure populations and redeploy troops as a result, is there some trade-off between taking the fight to the taliban and protecting the politic -- the population? >> my view is that if you deny the taliban access to the people, you basically are starving what nourishes them. the key, as general cartwright's at the beginning of the conversation, the k

>> let me start and then ask general cartwright to pitch in. virtually all of the counter narcotics efforts that we pursue in latin america are in partnership with other countries. these are not unilateral actions on our part. we hope to continue these partnerships. clearly the need for reconnaissance or being able to find laboratories, we bring some assets to this, but our allies -- our allies welcomed this. that is really what it is all about, how we work more effectively with our partners in the region to go after these narcotics cartels. >> as you may know, this is talking about seven phases in particular. the intent here, what we're doing, is going in first and we use these basis to provide capability to the colombians. it is going in and assessing the basis for safety and security in the ability to give us fuel, part, and wait. of the runways, things like that. the intent, at the strategic intent is in fact to be able to provide to the colombians that what they need in order to continue to prosecute their efforts against the internal thre

the skins shows a punt formation but cartwright gets 15 yards and that led to a 20- yard field goal. brian orakpo showed he came to play, stuffing the steeler line and then came the offense. third quarter, redskins are down 10-3, chase daniel lobs one to mark omitchell for a touchdown and game tied at 10. later in the 4th, skins down by 3 and there it is chase daniel. again this time a perfect pass to fred davis for the 18-yard touchdown. the skins win 17-13. fox 5's sports director dave feldman with some happy people. >> it was a last. it's finally nice to get out there and get out there and get dirty and get hit for the first time in a time. it felt good. >> my second year in the offense, you start to get comfortable with things and i had fun today. >> was it fun running down there by the goal line. >> it's fun. but we're playing against a great defense. it will be tough on the goal line. i'm happy to help our team get up and everything. but i just can't do that one time. i have to come back out next week and do the same thing. >> it started out with a blast with the first play, bu
