. >> talking about the draft, you are not mike shanahan or bruce allen but it's fun to speculate. everybody is clamoring about a quarterback, you know that rex grossman may not be here. and when you see a guy like robert griffin iii? >> yes. definitely. he is a guy who has the it fact to. he is athletic, big, strong arm. i hit it the most important part of all is he is very educated, smart guy. you hear him talk on tv, he is very ma temperature he is be a good person to get here pause he will be able to transition well and deal wall the pressures from the media and fan base. >> he can handle it. >> he can handle it. >> he is a very mature kid. you can hear it when he speaks and he has a good foundation with his family. >> i'm with you. i would love to see rg iii here. >> and talking about the nfl playoffs, you will see the game here on fox. >> as long as eli continues to play like that and they have people who can take the ball, you know, getting cut backs, getting osi guy i know your boy aaron is a cal guy. so, do you route for him. right. we came out playing tocialghts two years

number two, mike shanahan are control freaks. they would be clashing like crazy. have you ever seen a quarterback call more audible than peyton manning? they don't want to change anything from the line of scrimmage. plus, he wants to play for a winning team. if he's going to come back, the redskins left tackle is one failed drug test away from a yearlong suspension. they are not a winning team. what makes sense to me is san francisco. they have a great left tackle, a good runningback and a great defense. that makes sense. this makes no sense. >> all right, you didn't mention the salary cap issue, that payton is due another $28 million. let's put all that aside for a moment and go on the other side of this thing. how could this be made to happen? >> the salary part of it is that the colts have to pick that money up if they have him on the roster by march 13. they aren't going to keep him on the roster and cut him. so redskins don't have to worry about the $28 million. but payton will have a good salary wherever he goes. it could happen because the redskins need a q

tie last year's record of 6-10 with a win and could finish 5-11 if they lose the first time in mike shanahan's career and losing for draft position, not an option. they have one thing on their mind. >> you want to go and winning is everything. people tell you and we know. and you want to go out there and give it your all and we know what we went through this year. soa what? let's take care of what we have in front of us. >> and when you can end something well, it gives you a good feeling and we'll feel better about what we're doing and that direction we're headed. >>> and the chick fillet bowl, orange on orange playing against auburn. no score, michael drops back and into that end zone. 26 yards and that is the first td and virginia up seven-0. tied seven-7 and to bird, and this time from six yards out. and back in front, 14-7 and with uva down, they fake the field-goal and slow and he is short of the first down marker. auburn scores on the next drive and in the third quarter, more from the tigers and up the gut. 22 yards and right now, auburn leaves uva20-34 in the first quarter -- fourth qua

. >> what makes you confident mike shanahan had kuturning this tea into a win summer. >> he has a greatn denver. i see him working every day, the due diligence, just how detailed he is, i think he's going to put the pieces in place to do it for us. >> talking about the draft. do you share the opinion that the redskins need to go out and get robert griffin, iii. >> he's definitely a phenomenal athlete. do you leverage your future with picks. if you give up, how many number one picks you have to give up, number twos, to get one guy. he's a great guy, but can you find somebody like a matt flynn who's a free agent sign him and add other pieces to your opportunities as well. >> if it was up to you, what would you do? would you draft rg, iii? >> i might go matt flynn and maybe get a guy like blackmon and add another piece to the offensive line and solidify that offensive threat. >> playing good gm, i love it. probowl alternate teammate london fletcher, he had a phenomenal season, led the nfl with 166 tackles, he's going to be a free agent this yoof season, how important is it for the team to

it in the field of play rex has got to know that himself he shouldn't have to be told that by mike shanahan or kyle shanahan for that matter it just leads to a disaster after the game you can tell the frustration of the coach. >>> there are things you do poorly, you try to work on, in the off season and that is one of the areas we are working on obviously the big one is turn overs they lost the turn over battle like philadelphia, you don't make the turn overs, regardless how good you are. we make a turn over quite a bit. i thought we made strides, we will continue to keep on working. >> some of the things we got to go through to get to where we are trying to go. and you know, who knows, you know, what would have happened if something would have happened differently in the season it didn't we have to take it for what it is and know that we didn't get to build on it. >> i guess that is really the glass half full approach, saying they didn't take a step back it is hard from the outside looking in to think they didn't take a step back that is what they believe or are telling us mike shanahan hi
