we are talking a little monday morning quarterback with dave ross.iday about some of the waits you can go to beat this houston team and i give them credit they want shut down the running game. we saw the week before they gave up a couple hundred yards on the ground. but when you shut that down and you give up 500 yards in the air. >> i said it on friday. it is fool's gold. everybody was talking about arian air januaryfosterr -- about arian foster and stopped the running game. it is hard for me to point fingers. everybody played their hearts out. the old entire team, defensively and offensively. donovan mcnabb was simply amazing. 426yards, the third most in his career. that is the play of the game. you throw it up for andre johnson. that is the reason why he is the best receiver in the league. as we saw, gano had made the 5 #-yarder. they called time out and this one is so wide right. no chance on the second kick but that is why you call it. it is a rule. it is not a good rule. texas comes town in overtime. there has been a lot of debate about that. i

dave ross is here. we forgot to mention on try they need to key on kenneth darby. >> kenneth darny. how in the world does that happen? >> first nfl touchdown, perhaps. >> the rams don't win at home. they don't win pretty much anywhere. they looked good. >> if you have to look at the redskins and say what happened, let's look at that defense. you talked about kenneth darby. they couldn't stop him or steven jackson. >> which is who they wanted to key on. >> they tried to key on him in the first drive of the game. steven jackson just explodes. there is the video right here. you will see you can't come out flat. i think the redskins came out flat. poor tackling here. he runs through that and around. this defense, they couldn't stop the pass a week ago against the texans. this week, they couldn't stop the run, be it steve p jackson being be it kenneth darby. >> we talked about houston and we thought they would key on the running game the against st. louis, you wouldn't think -- >> really no weapons with the wide receiver. you thought you would have to key on the running back. now, for th

dave ross is here with a preview of the matchup. >> it's never easy to win on the road, right? we'll find out today. it's the first test. hopefully this is a test they'll pass. >> and i love the matchup between the two quarterbacks. >> that's one of the guys we're going to talk about right now. and we have to hope there is no houston hangover today because in all honesty, the skins are flat out bedder -- better than the rams and you mentioned one. the skins hope he doesn't get his first win today. he would be quarterback sam bradford and so far so good for the rams new franchise player. bradford was the first overall pick in the draft and he's already showing big-time promise. now the rams decided to throw their star right into the mix and he's been impressive in the first two games this season, albeit two losses. but the skins say they will not take this rookie lightly. >> watching him a lot throughout he's collegiate career and he did pretty good. he's very impressive. he's the type of guy that comes around every ten years, he's that type of quarterback. >> you would like to
