where is santana moss, where is chris cooley, where is hightower.here are all the weapons that early in the year you had at your disposal and the last time i checked, backups aren't as good as starters. >> there is a reason why they're backups. >> there is a reason they don't play all the time. >> we'll take you through some of the highlights that you had to witness jed firsthand in person. you are right about john beck and you are seeing guys like roy hell you who had a great day. sadly, he to cough it up once just before the first half. >> here is your starting run being back making his first career start. >> three different starting running backs in the last for you weeks. >> you got a guy like hightower that you are counting on. >> their defense played well. >> 19 points. should be able to score 20 to win. >> you're at home. quarterbacks get too much credit when things are going well. this was unbelievable here. i was sitting up in the stand going what is shanahan thinking. that was a redskin record. you thought all right, he is a for a reason.

. >> and one piece of bad news for the skins in this rivalry, santana moss has been a cowboy killer,ding more catches and more receiving yards against the cowboys than any other active player and has been ruled out for sunday's game. the team hoped he might be recovered from the broken hand he suffered week 7 against the panthers. >> desa poeting and hopefully rex press -- disappointing but hopefully rex grossman will throw a touchdown to someone else. >> hopefully to a burgundy and gold. >>> and the results are in for the fox 5 game-of-the-week. it's play-off time. tomorrow, we're featuring south county at stone bridge. the matchup won was more than 54% of nearly 10,000 votes. >>> okay. >> yes? >> it's going to be chilly out there tomorrow night. lots of play-off football. >> yeah, and cooling down from today even. >> and yes. >> yeah. >> okay. >> and tomorrow is going to be in the 40s for highs and that is with complete -- . >> wow. >> okay. >> and probably in the 30s at some point for play-off high school football tomorrow night. it's blanket weather. going to take the blanket out

now without stallworth, santana moss and half the receivers that are on the opening day roster. >>> alberts welcome, again. haynesworth cut by the patriots after producing practically nothing this season. he played in six out of eight games for new england and had, wait for it, three tackles in six games. no s sacks. he was hurt and not reporting and got into an argument with a position coach -- shocking, isn't it? they traded for haynesworth thinking he would clean up his act after a troubled tenure in washington where the skins famously gave him a record-setting contract and $32 million for two years to do absolutely nothing. >>> so, i guess that's a positive when you can see that shanahan cut bait right away at the beginning of this season and they didn't have to deal with that. can you imagine this record with haynesworth still in town? >> it would be awful. it would be awful. >> look how much time we didn't waste this season. >> i promise, this is the last time we bring his name up. >> we heard that before. >> you said that last year, didn't you? >> yes. a couple times, i think. as so

let's talk about some of those older guys like santana moss still on the roster but still performinghe has been healthy. do you look for more change at, let's see, key positions like that from the shanahans or do you think -- mike seems to like veterans, right? >> right >> i don't know how young they're going to go. they have the money to spend. which direction do you need to go? >> you need to do a combination. they had 12 draft picks a few of which have been on the active roster and then you see them sign guys like brian bowen and coffield. you see that combination. when they bring veteran players, they do it the smart way and trying to bring leonard hankerson. one of the veterans they have on this roster is rex gross man. being from chicago, i'm sure they have feelings about rex, too. for guys around here, it's a bad word when they talk about rex and beck. is this a guy that can be on the roster even in a backup capacity? >> i think so. he understands the problem. you have to bring in a young guy. >> even though mike does not like to do that. >> yes, even though he did it with jay

at some of the parts they had going into the season, the only receiver that would scare anyone, santana moss. not in the line up, coolly, not in the line up, it is amazing when you got your better players that you are a better football team. he put the ball on the gown broke a red skins record, 14 receptions some times it is better to have your full arsenal of weapons,. >> better but some make the point there are other teams out there, and i do think we have had extraordinary losses because of injury. there are other teams playing high caliber football. >>> they find a way. >>> you will have to let bruce alan who has been here two years, mike shanahan, here two years get the type of people start collecting the type of depth that when you have an injury to a san tan ma moss or chris coolly, you have beam deep enough look back when we were playing, doug williams was waiting in the wings, if you look at the mark ripen situation, mark came onboard, humphries and rutledge were there. >>> you won three super bowls with three quarterbacks again, people are saying we have to get rid of the shanahans
