todd collins moves the chains for the first time tonight. chris carr on the stop. will start to hear a lot of new names for the ravens. but don't confuse that with guys that are only going to be here the summer. >> stan: you saw it was a double move and a stop. a pump up, then stop again. it's tough to cover that long. >> gerry: first first down of the quarter for the redskins. completes it out at the 27-yard line. eddie williams is taken down at the 20, a little shy of the 29- yard line by taveras gooden. a man you're going to want to hear a lot of throughout the season. >> stan: he's the heir apparent at this time. paul krueger did a nice job of getting out in the throwing lane. he did get in the throwing lane. >> gerry: second and 4. they're not going to have much in the way of positive results. marcus mason had nowhere to run. edwards missed all of last year following back surgery. good penetration into the backfield. rob burnett talked about him earlier in the broadcast, the importance of having him back. >> stan: also can play end, he's very versatile, but th

one guy some folks need to forget about is number 15, todd collin who begins his 15th season in the nflear, he backed up jason campbell. in 2007, he led the skins skins fofour straight wins. collin may not get a lot of attention but he is always ready to play. >> i think any time you go out there you want to compete and try to be the best quarterback on the team. and you have younger guys like that, you try to help them along as much as you can and try to help jason if i can, if i see something. >> a quarterback who does get some tension is bret favre who just can't seem to say good- bye. he says his 10-year-old daughter told him to go out and win a super bowl and that is what he is trying to do with the minnesota vikings. he signed a two-year deal worth $25 million. he will get $12 million this year and he will play pry fay pre-season game against the chiefs. >> i just didn't want it look back. i have no idea how i'll feel a year from now, five years from now, 10 years from now. but i didn't want to say what if. >> okay. straight ahead at 6:00, we're just about to open up our fox 5 job

the redskins have announced that todd collins will be the backup to campbell. they will pay him seven figures to carry the clipboard. it it shows uncertainty with campbell. they know has had the best of it so far in the two preseason games. the big knock against the daniel is his height. it is very generous. >> i have never said anything about his size. he is only as high as he is. it is a god thing, you know what i mean? i help him play ball at the right level. >> i suggest they with the monday night football announcers. they're excited to see what the redskins will do against the defense. the big guy it rambles and from 25 yards out. mark sanchez, welcome to the nfl. the second play of the game. he came back with his touchdown pass in the second quarter. this guy could get a touchdown, 3 for 8. i am telling you, this kid is a good player. i think he will be the starter when they start the regular season. he is headed to prison for two years, and i am sure that you have been following the news. here is what happened in his own words. >> i am walking up stairs,

redskins ball again todd collins over the middle. this time the second year tight end fred dave. he is stripped and fumble it is ball, second fumble of the game. this time the redskins don't recover. the ravens do. and that was a costly turnover because baltimore would capitalize. troy smith, former quarterback, out of ohio ate, making things happen here. watch this. the pump fake. freezes redskins rookie cornerback kevin barnes. that's a touchdown pass. harper hauls it in. the redskins are shut out 23-0. the defense allows 500 yards. head coach jim zorn not thrilled but always staying positive. >> i thought jason was sharp for the limited amount of time he had in there. i thought our defensive line did a very nice job as they were in there. we missed tackles. we were soft in other areas, both offensively and defensively. you know, soft playing. with that kind of intensity. i thought there was a lot of guys out there playing but they didn't really realize how difficult the game really is. and, you know, we paid for it in some of the situations. >> we played two series. play for t

. >> todd collins one of the key come pn nents, especially -- components. people are talking about stephen strasburg the newest nat. press conference on friday. >> thanyou for that. >> last look at your forecast, sue palka. >> check this out, we will be looking at several hot days in a row. 90 degrees wednesday, 91 thursday. good chance of chasing around storms. >> now you have the news edge. myfoxdc is always on.

one guy people seem to forget, todd collins, beginning the 15th season in the nfl, fourth here at d.c., last year backing up jason campbell the entire season. in 2007, led the skins to four straight wins which resulted in an appearance. he may not get a lot of attention but he is ready to play. >> any time you go out there you want to compete. you know and try to be the best quarterback on the team. and when you have younger guys like that you try to help as much as you can. try to help jason if i can. more problems at the redskins training camp, two rookies, safe to the goal post, second straight day it happened. yesterday, it was barnes and hansen, nobody else is tying anybody up. and he is back, 10-year-old daughter told him to go win a super bowl. and that is what he will try to do with the vikings. no lover of training camp, which he messed. he will play friday in a preseason game with the chiefs. jackson for the starting job. >> i just didn't want to look back. i have no idea how i will feel a year from now, five years from now 10 years from now. but i -- i dent want to say you

. >> all right, now todd collins certainly has the backup position on lock. but check this out. today in practice, he is working out when he gets nailed by a kick from one of the punters. ouch. no word on whether a third string coat ordered him to kick the ball that way. no worries ifis is okay. just a close call. wusa9, the place to be on friday for the skins skins and patriots. brett haber, sara walsh, out there at fedex field, also brett sits down with coach southern. the game at 8:00 right here on wusa9. if you can't beat him -- he is beating him three times, has a complete game to his credit. that won't be happening anymore, because mike went out and signed the former nat late last night. this will be his second stint with the nats. he pitched with the organization from '03 to '06. he is still the winningest pitcher. he had been with the mets until they gave him his conditional release. the team option to collin's syracuse. move on. going right back to work tonight with his hard hat against the cubs. he will face rich harden. hernandez has a 7-8 record and it will be his fi

that's todd collins role.s for number three where chase daniel had a debut to remember against the steelers. it was the first time he had played since the alamo bowl in missouri last december. he passed two touchdowns leading the redskins to a 17-13 come from behind victory over palka and nancy -- yancey's -- [ indiscernible ] they were very bummed. >> i was trying to squeeze one in, get a touchdown. got a little greedy. i tried to squeeze one in and got picked. right now last year, you know, i wasn't really pling flawless football but my stats were really, really awesome. this year i'm not playing bad at all. it's unfortunate that my stats aren't that great. you only get a few chances. very two more opportunities coming up. i have to make sure to capitalize on the next two opportunities. >> he'll get one because jim zorn said brannon, not daniel will play friday night in the second half of the patriots. jason campbell and the first team offense will play in the first half. rookie wide receiver mark oh mitchel

todd collins back to throw, picked off by rat cliff. rat cliff takes it back. pittsburgh is up 10-3 at the half. here we go in the second half now a lot better for the redskins. watch the ball. chase daniel to marco mitchell, game is tied 10-10. here come the two big plays early fourth steelers are up 3. pittsburgh's joe burnett is hit by fred davis. darnell young recovers. it's redskins' ball and that sets this up. daniel to fred davis, that is the game-wing touchdown. redskins win 17-13. >> what i'm looking for as far as improving is continue to improve our route running down the field and continue to improve our poise under pressure. you know, trying to really execute very well. we did a lot of that tonight, but we're all demanding, i guess. >> all right. nationals fans maybe one day will be demanding. you need to sort of forget about the steven interests berg thing. let -- strossberg. tonight against walk the nats got down big early top of the second this is former national fill lee pay lopez down the line. 3-0 brewers. still in the second mike cameron down

now right before the half, todd collins trying to hurry up offense -- hurries up and makes a mistake.ntended for thomas, picked off by ratliff. returned to the steelers' 35. but the steelers would not make the field goal. the steelers led 10-3 at the half. second half the local kid from montgomery county. marcus mason. 18yards to the steelers' 24. marcus 11 carries for 48 yards. same drive formation, the nfl's leading rusher in the preseason last season can also catch. eight yard on the reception. down to the 4-yard line. two plays later, chase daniel the rooky from missouri. lobs it up for marky mitchell. four yard for the touchdown. game tied at 10. daniel, 58-yard, two touchdowns. fourth quarter, steers up 13- 10. redskin get a break. they're punting. the steelers' joe burnett fumbles it. tripped by fred davis and darrell young recovers on the 18-yard line at pittsburgh. on the very next play, chase daniel from 18-yards tout davis, the touchdown. the skins take the lead 17-13. fred davis can dance and the skin get a win, 17-13. afterward, here's chase daniel. >> it was a blast, man

the redskins had a chance the tie it before the half but todd collins would get picked off at midfieldould kill the redskins drive and the burgundy and gold hits the break down 7. they redeem themselves in the third. chase daniel the fade to marco mitchell for a touchdown. then in the 4th, the 'skins down 3 punting toll steelers but jay burnett would lose the ball. 'quinns recover. next play daniel does it again over the top to a wide open fred davis in the end zone giving the 'skins a 17-13 lead. that is your final, washington wins. >>> going to baltimore, dropping a goose egg you know a lost our coaches weren't happy. we a little something we had to prove. >> they won the super bowl last year even though that doesn't matter for this season but they are a great football team. we recognize that. we wanted to do a good job against them. overall we did okay. >> it was a great night. we left there, i finally got -- i have been itching for a chance to get out there and play football. it has been awhile. i had some mistakes but did good things as well. >>> and i am joined now by the redskin

>> locally, redskins backup quarterback todd collins is from massachusetts and today talked about his death of ted kennedy. >> we kind of knew that it was going to happen, the way he was looking and his diagnosis. it is just sad. the kennedy family name in massachusetts is something that you always grow up and be part of. it is sad that all the brothers are gone. this kind of a tragedy. >> jason campbell is preparing for his most important game of the preseason. he and the starters will play at least the first half, and there appears to be a lot of pressure on campbell since the first-team offense has produced very little so far. saturday against the steelers, he let 1-7. >> everyone is putting the pressure on me. right now, it is more negative than positive. 1-7 is definitely not something i am concerned about. >>> former heavyweight champion muhammed ali caused a stir today in britain. hundreds of people crowded around to get a chance to see the great one. mohammad ali is on a two-week tour of britain to raise money for a number of charities, and i am sure that heill seek crowds lik

and we know jason campbell comes in as a starter and todd collins, and then you're at fourth quarterback, what are you trying to show coaches here. >> that i can be consistent and get the ball out quick and make right decisions and protect the football. and who knows maybe i have a shot attic acing the roster but right now i'm focusing from day- to-day. >> reporter: you talk about protect the football, today you did a drill. the coach threw the ball out and you have to run and slide to get it. you have done anything like that before. >> no, not since high school. he threw the ball and said go get it and jump on it and showing us how to jump on the ball. i've never seen a head coach slide on the ground and huddle the ball like he did. so it was amazing. >> reporter: and you did a drill called the color and you have to fire it in. you've done those type of drills before. >> no doubt about it. there's a gold and burgundy and he could say top, left, right, middle, he can say the color, 1, 3, 2, and you try to hit the ball. >> reporter: and you have an opportunity to shine and show what you c

however, there will be plenty of eyes on backup quarrback brennan and todd collins. for now, colt may be the people's choice but what matters is the coaches' choice. collin is the number two qb. brennan is in his second year with the redskins and still in the growth and learning stage as an nfl quarterback. jim zorn will have a very tough decision to make. it is likely, though, he will stick with this guy, 15-year veteran collins who has been through this before and welcomes the competition. >> every year, you know, it is the same in the sense that you know there will be competition. somebody playing better than you, you know, then they are going to probably, you know, move up. my outlook has always again to prepare like a starter and prepare and be able to play at that level. you are not playing for a backup spot. you know, you are mott chasing, you know, the number two spot, number tee spot. everyone should have the mindset they are trying the play at the level of a starter and then when you have taunt to play, then you can, you know, produce like one. >> no securi

backup quarterback todd collins has become a master at this drill in his second year under the coach, avoiding that attack. zorn has an absolute blast with this. you can see by his reaction. jason campbell, it looked like, caught on quickly. he said even he gets sick of doing this drill over and over. the guy that got smacked around a bit was number 5 brennan. he's got one of the best personalities on the team. he got beamed, smacked in the face. i asked him after this drill, tell me about what seemed to look like a rough outing out there for you. did i see you get beamed in the face? >> yes, you did. >> tell me about that. >> i didn't know whose turn it was. i looked at jason and looked at todd. jason threw it. got it right in the face. i'll get it back tomorrow. >> is that fun for you guys? >> zorn seems to love it. i guess it brings fun to practice it's tiring. of course, he could do that drill on the other side of the field. he puts us smack in front of the fans. >> you are saying it's a little guilty pleasure? >> yeah. i think he enjoys it too much. >> we'll get him one day. the

nobody talks about todd collins. we'll check in with him and find out which one can play. hopefully it is campbell, by the way, i hope it is. >> thank you. >>> . >>> and coming up here at 10:00, the south carolina's governor's wife is opening up about the scandal of her husband. >>> and why a program is on hold, what it means for the s ture of the project, we'll be rbaight ck.   . >>> you're watching fox 5 news at cash for clunkers is available at your chev. deeral with more eligible models to choose from than anyone. if your clunker qualifies to be recycled, you can get a $3500 or $4500 government rebate. and just announced! ifouuaor yli cfy fhe tlunker rebate, you may also qualify for 0% apr for 72 months. that means you can buy a '09 fcobaltor $168 a montbaafter go to chevy.com for details. 10:00. >>> you're watching fox 5 news at continue. >>> welcome back, construction on part of virginia's highly anticipated hot lanes project is on hold. the project along i-395 and 95 hit a roadblock when they failed to secure a financing deal.

jim zorn made it clear this week that todd collins is his number two. you know when trainin camp arted it seemed as though brennan was in the mix to be the backup. after would preseason games the call for colt isn't nearly as loud. brennan is battling rookie free agent daniel for the third straight job. it is a battle that likely won't end until the fourth and final game of the preseason. hakem dermish has more with bre brennan who is hungry to improve. >> the best way for me to progress and for me to, you know, present myself as a y, quarterback, of the future, is take on that backup role and learn. you know. and grow. and sometimes it is easy when you are on the depth chart, low on depth chart and hard for you to grow and progress. and continue to learn and do good where when you are that backup and going at any moment, kind of forces you to learn and develop and so it is something i'm definitely vying for. >> reporter: where dpu get your passion for playing quarterback? >> you know what? my first year in third grade, they were like you look like a qu

todd collins, backup qb. looking over the middle. kind of pressure here. gets away to kelly.elly makes a tremendous grab. he had three catches for 25 yards. he had three catches all of last season. redskins starting to move the ball now. few plays later. davis stripped. second fumble in the game. this time the redskins don't recover. the ravens recover. it was a costly turnover. davis said that it was the first time he has ever fumbled twices in a game. the ravens would capitalize. troy smith make something serious things happening. look at his pump fake. phrases kevin barnes. then justy harper scores. 19-yard touchdown. the redskins are shut out 23-0. jim zorn trying to stay positive. but not pleased with the effort from some of his younger players. >> i think our young guys, you know, figured out that, you know, they watched this gaem all their lives. they finally get a chance to go out there and play it. and think it is going to be just like -- just like it was before. and it is not just like it was before. it is intense. it is -- exact. and it is passionate. and it is emo

joining us to discuss is todd collins, vice president at mf global and cnbc's rick santelli, steve saying with us. todd, let me get to you first. what did you think about bernanke's comments? do you agree? >> yes, i do agree. i think we are emerging from this global recession, but i also take heed to his warnings that we are not out of the woods yet, and we still have several issues to deal with, first of all being the liquidity measures that the fed has put in place, as well as the global quantitative easing policy from the central banks here, the u.k. and over in europe. so i think it's a positive first step, but we're not out of the woods yet. >> not out of the woods yet, which obviously means we're not talking about a rate hike any time soon, but to throw it forward, how much of a disconnect is there between when the market thinks we're going to get that first rate hike and when you think we should get that first rate hike? >> well, right now, the markets is pricing in the possibility of a rate hike sometime by middle of 2010. and we're talking about maybe up to 1%. if we look forward
