the skins have interviewed clausen. it appears the redskins will address their offensive needs in the draft. defense is also getting a makeover. hall did not hold back his feelings and arachpomight be the key. >> you know he is coming every single time. 3-4 is going to give you a tonight kind of mix it up a little bit. he might be in one play or might be rushing or dropping back. he might play safety for us. he is going to give us a chance to put him anywhere, put the rest of the play makers anywhere, mix it up. you are not going to know where the guys are coming from. i think the scheme is going to be a big part of the reason why we are better. it is definitely going to be a mindset, too. his philosophy is all else fails, blitz. >>> the virginia lacrosse team number 1 in the country and motthe only one currently topping the charts. we'll have that story. >>> phil night. geico sportsnite bounces on. ice 1: 'mon back! is i3rd th? caveumbe ice sli nuwo, hingt bratd, scuse icer 2: samer n: ae gre waon t the tim tellikt i'm

they are currently hosting notre dame qb jimmy clausen. >>> five regular season games left for the capitals biggest question has to be goaltending. a couple of weeks ago it seemed jose theodore would be the guy in postseason. he's gone unbeaten since january but struggled in the last couple of games. tide could be shifting to the young russian. popular with the ladies and kids. barley is starting to heat up. that begs the question, is the wily veteran getting nervous? it was just last season in the playof playoffs he replaced theodore. bruce boudreau will wait until the last minute to decide. >> the game is the same. you have to make the save. even if you get the call night before the first playoff game or i know i've got enough experience it's not going to affect me. i'm not getting distracted by any things i can't control. i'm coming to play hard and well and the best i can. >> that's going to be interesting to see what bruce boudreau decides to do. >> still have the president's cup? >> president's trophy could be locked up tomorrow. they never won that before. it goes to the team with th

yes, he was taken in the first round. >> jimmy clausen had an absolutely horrific day.ves notre dame a year early, thinking he would be first-round pick. i just never thought he was really a top-flight quarterback. apparently, a lot of nfl teams feeling the same way now. he lost a lot of money leaving notre dame early. >> he did. he lost a lot of money by now going on the second day. first round to second round money is a huge jump. they say jimmy clausen is the pro prototypical pro style quarterback and tim tebow is is not. the people in denver thought tebow will be okay. >>> fabulous last night, looked like lebron james and the cavs were going to steamroll the bulls but bulls stole one. not by much perform anthony parker down by two. a chance to win the game. just comes up a little short. so, the bulls survive to see another day. lebron had 39, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. they'll get one more chance to beat the bulls if chicago. >>> great play from baseball. new york yankees turning a triple play against the oakland a's. you don't see this very often. in fact, not from

some believe that notre dame quarterback jimmy clausen is an option as well. at some point the redskins need to address that offensive line which has? gaping holes. two linemen who could end newspaper washington think that the skins would be making a big mistake if they took a quarterback. >> definitely be a mistake. that would definitely be a mistake. no. you know, that -- they are going to -- good for their ball club and hopefully william. if it ain't, you know, you have to live with things like that. >> i can't speak for what they are going to do. you know, obviously they have an idea what they want to do. and this if they don't like the tackles that's their decision and don't like the tackles. nothing to do about it. you know, i think that -- that organization has been doing i long enough where they can pick and choose the players they wanted. whatever they do, they will do what's best for the washington redskins and that will be that. >> tax revenue williams from oklahoma and brian, two of the top offensive tacklers. how thick was hick schneck? >> see how
