. >> these panthers, i mean. >> i was surprised when i told you, the redskins taking on the panthers. 1-5. the panthers on sunday, they are favored over the redskins. two point favor over the redskins. this is before the quarterback change. really? >> yeah. vegas knows. that's what worries me. the secondary is banged up. deangelo hall was limited, not exactly what you want to hear when you are getting ready to face cam newton. he's not been perfect, but newton showed he's plenty qualified to be the number one draft pick. he is a rookie and he has as many interceptions as a man named rex. newton is fearless when he throws the ball and dangerous when he runs it. the redskins defense hoping to rally early and often. >> he's 6'5", 6'6" guy. he's going to make great throws. he's mobile enough to break the pocket and make things happen. he's been doing a great job moving offense and making plays with his arms and legs. >> he's made a lot of plays. the biggest problem isn't the scrambli scrambling, it's the ability to keep the play alive. he doesn't run as much as mike does. at the same time

. >>> mike shanahan does not know who is starting quarterback on sunday verse the panthers. and as a result, we don't know either. we should know on wednesday when the skins coach said he would make up his mind and tell his quarterback and then tell us. probably in that order. rex grossman had a game he would like to forget on sunday. his worst as a redskin. completed only 9 of 22 passes and that's a career high with four interceptions. by all accounts, very poor decision-making by number 8. after the 4th interception he was replaced with john beck. beck engineered the offense's only touchdown drive culminating with a 2-yard touchdown run. and now the question is who will the next starter be on sunday and are the players behind grossman. here is santana moss. >> i feel like he deserves another shot. i mean [ inaudible ]. he played a hell of a game. tom brady threw four what, a couple of weeks ago. i feel like for the florida game yesterday, it worked. it kind of got a spark to bring him back in but that's the luxury you have when you have two quarterbacks that can come in th

. >> perhaps the biggest disappointment in the panthers game is the defense.ed the redskins the entire season. they rank third in the nfl in terms of points allowed. they gave up 33 points, 33 points to the panthers and just gotten rolled by a pair of one-win teams. now, with two very good teams on the horizon, buffalo sunday and san francisco, a team with one loss the entire year, you have to wonder what they are thinking right now. >> we are very disappointed in ourselves. we obviously, on paper we should be beating the teams we lost to. the good thing about it is, there's always another week. ten more weeks left. we can make something happen. the first team to ten wins, so, we are still in there. we are not in a desperate mode now. we are more urgent because we want to get back on track and get back to the mood of things and back to the winning ways. >> when ever you lose, it takes something out of you. we work hard to go in and win the football games. but, we are professionals. we have a good defense and a good team. even though they are 1-5, they are good
