the defending champions the pittsburgh steelers come to towel. and they will bring fans, towels, and joe and sue palka will have to be efficient. they worked on their game this week. last thursday, jason campbell, collins and brennan completed passes, not bad, one for 11 on third-down conversion. the ravens won the time of battle in possession by almost 11 minutes. so clearly there is good room for improvement. >> can be more efficient, what they want to be is more tough. have an attitude, play a little bit harder and faster. like i say it is just the preseason game, a lot of starters didn't play that much. but we'll come out, play more as a whole. not just groups but as a whole team. >> it is early right ow you know, a test, we need to get the formula going, we haven't had that chance to get the moves going. a disappointing second half of the season last year. and we're trying to get that confidence back. >> coming up at 11:00, we'll talk to albert haynesworth, let you know if he is playing. and we'll tell you more about the rookies coming up. >

made it all the way to the afc title game where they lost to the pittsburgh steelers. for the redskins and the ravens, some vets will play today, but not for long. that's just not the way the preseason works. jason campbell and the first team offense for the skins could see two series at the most. same could be said for the first team defense. neither team game plan for the other and they will focus solely on their own personnel and player evaluation. for the veterans, the preseason, a necessary evil. >> i don't particularly care for the preseason game to be honest with you. the time that we put out there, you have a chance to make the catch, make the block, and that kind of thing. you got to do that and that's why they want to use the preseason to see where guys are at even when it comes to age and that kind of thing, whether you are older or younger. the opportunity comes, you have to make the play. >> reporter: and one of the interesting dynamics tonight, we'll take a look at 6:00 is the backup quarterback. colt brennan is expected to get a good look today. we'll se

they are playing the pittsburgh steelers. ben roethlisberger has an achilles injury and does not know if he will be under centre forethesteelers. one quarterback for the redskins playing the first time this season is chase daniel. and he's certainly looking to make his mark because right now he's the fourth string quarterback for the skins. daniel has adjusted to the program slowly after a stellar career at missouri. just like brennan he was a heisman trophy finalist. he did not play in the last game and would have to beat out brennan for a roster spot which isn't likely. but for now he is focus order playing first game of his pro-career and getting a bit better. >> it is done. first nfl camp done and in the books. i definitely feel i got a shot, got better. footwork has gotten better. my arms have gotten stronger even though we are throwing every day the past three weeks. i'm excited about the chance to play. >> you are going to be out there and your first nfl game and you actually have been on the field. are you going to go
