jay gruden being very honest now. we're at a point where i think this organization needs to make a decision, do you stick with rg3 the rest of the year and see if he basically loses the job or put colt in and hope they can get a few wins? we will see. >> six more games remaining. we'll see how the redskins play this season out. >>> let's go to new york now, eli manning and the giants taking on the san francisco 49ers. we'll pick this up in the first quarter. scoreless game. the giants are on the move. manning has some time, finds larry donald. giants up 7-0. third quarter now. san fran on top 9-7. colin kaepernick to michael crabtree. he turns on the jets, 48-yard hookup there. the 49ers go on to win this game, your final score 16-10. college soccer, maryland hosting indiana, big 10 championship game second half. tied at one. here come the terps. david mckelb, the defender takes down a maryland player. the refs give them a free kick. how about this? he delivers over the goalkeeper. beautiful goal there. maryland goes

rg iii and jay gruden have been talking all week in film sessions and meetings. is, andw what the deal they know how each other feels and what needs to be done. everybody wanted to see how it played out in front of the media after gruden's scathing critique of his quarterback two days ago. the skins are just 3-15 in their last 18 games. rg iii has thrown two touchdowns against three interceptions. ay wants me to play better. we are focused on san francisco and making that happen. >> whether it was the right thing to do on my part, corrections should be made in-house with everybody involved. itself. speaks for i didn't need to elaborate on any individual things other than the team was not good enough, was not prepared enough, was not coached well enough to beat the tampa bay buccaneers. >> i know it is november, but let's talk baseball. do you remember steven souza's catch? zim said he could have anything he wants after that catch. there are rumors he bought him a bmw. that is not the case. ouza a giftman gave s card to best buy. with all of that snow in buffalo,

today was sort of a retention day for jay gruden. the promises he made about rg performance against caps off, saying he shouldn't have come out to the media and said it. he's upset about making this a big rg iii thing instead of focusing on the team as a whole. here is jay. corrections should be made in-house with everybody involved. the place speaks for itself. the production speaks for itself. i don't have to in -- elaborate on any individual things, other than the team was not good enough, was not prepared enough, was not coach well enough to beat the buccaneers. >> today, head coach jay gruden made it clear that everything he said to the media was said in his office one-on-one. now back to you. >> the red-hot wizards back in action tonight. they host the dallas mavericks. a big test. it looks like they may be getting bradley beal back. he's been sidelined with a broken wrist for about six weeks. he practiced in full with the team this week. though het start, might see some limited action. it will be a gametime decision. bradley b

jay gruden and robert griffin iii both speak. when they speak, people listen. >> and now the toyota sports desk brought to you by your local toyota dealers. social media continues to fuel the fans perception of the saga at redskins park. jay gruden continue to be the top trending story. the two guys met the media, which was probably the last thing they wanted. a lot of folks might think that everybody is too hard on rg iii, but come on, he hasn't played well. in the fall, the redskins quarterback job is the most important job in washington. three of the last 18 games have been winds. robert griffin was there. both guys looked a little uneasy. >> yeah, you want to talk about being awkward -- i think every ,ingle sentence for rg iii was we are just trying to be focused on san francisco. how is your footwork? we are trying to be focused on san francisco. >> how about jay gruden? >we are trying to stay focused n san francisco. himselfen was hard on being hard on rg iii to the media. both of them seemed focused on san francisco. >> is

what is jay gruden saying? >> as you mentioned, he had a few things to say on monday following that 27-7 loss against the bucs. everything rg iii did fundamentally was all wrong. he says sometimes when you are angry, that's when you say the first thing that comes to your mind. today jay gruden said he should not have said those things. >> that was a mistake on my part . after a loss like that, we are very disappointed with the way we played. the question came up about how he played in all that stuff, and i just answer the first thing that came to my mind and sometimes the first thing that comes to your mind isn't the smartest thing. corrections should be main in-house with everybody involved. the place speaks for itself -- play speaks for itself. >> jay also said he messed up in telling rg iii that he did mess up, but he did tell him before he told the media. he said he also messed up and making it more about robert and making it about the team. we will have more on that coming up later in sports at the 5:00 ho

are and it doesn't matter. >> tomorrow, jay gruden sits down with us in an exclusive interview, we talk with rg3, his biggest regret, and his relationship with dan snyder. so we get into it a lot. he said the relationship -- he thought it was going to be something that it was not either, so -- >> i want to hear more about that from jay gruden, but not rg3, i just want him to play ♪ i thought it'd be bigger. ♪ ♪ (dad) there's nothing i can't reach in my subaru. (vo) introducing the all-new subaru outback. love. it's what makes a subaru,a subaru. >>> it was a nail biter, but he survived, ryan sill makes it into the top 12. he did get enough votes from the fans to be saved. but he was saved by his coach, gwen stefani. >> i bet cocoa or eggnog? toasty or frosty? exactly the way you want it... until boom, it's bedtime! your mattress is a battleground of thwarted desire. enter the sleep number bed. right now save $400 on the c4 mattress set. he's the softy. his sleep number setting is 35. you're the rock, at 60. silent night not so silent? sleep number's even got an adjustment for that.

jay gruden is still trying to win. he's calling the shots. the coach made it clear this afternoon that this team needed a change. who knows, itd may have helped rg iii in the long run. >> for robert to take a step back and be a backup quarterback is not the end of the world. we have got to continue to learn from this and compete. ruden needs quick decisions. with that offense of line, he really needs quick decisions that will not hurt the skins. golden mccoy is the only quarterback on the roster who has won a game this season. now it will be interesting. will he be the colts? who knows. right now i think it gives them a better chance. >> we know how much money they invested in the future of rg iii. >> we will talk about his pedigree and reputation and how it played into this coming up in sports. in froming news coming northwest washington. police are on the scene of a serious accident at 28th and q street. person was hit by a vehicle. we are told that person is unconscious. police are urging drivers to avoid the area. the intersection is comp

and jay gruden yells at everybody. then robert goes back on instagram and says i'm sorry for saying that, that' i meant. i can't even -- i don't even know what i do anymore, because reporting has become very challenging here at redskins park. he said/she said. and we all know that the problem is because the team is not winning. so what were the comments that has started all this? this is robert griffin iii last night. >> right now we have no pro bowl players. and we don't -- we're not playing that way. i'm not playing that way. our receivers aren't playing that way. the backs aren't playing that way, our defense isn't playing that way, our special teams isn't playing that way and we know that. >> robert needs to about himself and not anyone else. it's his job to worry about his position, his footwork, his fundamentals, his read, his job at the quarterback position. it's my job to worry >> all right. it's the coolly report. how would you describe it? >> i think it's chaos. one word. >> how do you fix this right now? you

turns out jay gruden can work here at channel 9. check it out. >> testing one, two, three. >> that's right. jay gruden wins the broadcast guy, i want to be an audio guy award. who needs a production staff at burgundy and gold park, right? gruden taking care of it himself. remember, he's pretty good at quarterback. i heard washington needs one of those. >>> speaking of quarterbacks we got this thing called the bubble wrap award and it goes to the current gunslinger, robert griffin, whose limbs hold up about as well as one ply toilet paper. jay gruden might want to stamp handle with care on griffin's shoulder pads. i've got another suggestion for griffin in a second. >>> finally the human turnstile award goes to tyler polumbus because like a turnstile the offensive tackle just keeps letting them go right on in. this is a tape i think on how to back pedal. that's what this training tape is. tyler polumbus winning the infamous turnstile award. speaking of wrap, bubble wrap for robert griffin, iii. >> that will help. >> he's a pop star.

jay gruden was asked if rg iii can get back to the player he was in 2012 when the ritz kids went to the playoffs. >> obviously, having injuries, the type of quarterback he was, his first year he had 800 yards rushing. quite friendly, we have not won a super bowl since 1991, which is where we are trying to go. we're not trying to go 10-6 and get knocked out in the first round of the playoffs. >> jay gruden looking at long-term goals. the wizards are now 7-3 after losing last night to the mavericks. with lebron james and the cavaliers coming to town, the good news for the wizards is the return of bradley beal. sharp, taking charges one end, knocking down shots the other. he scored 21 points in 26 minutes, he was terrific. the play of the day, the charlotte hornets, indiana pacers. rodney stuckey pulls up, shoots, air ball. but he'll with the putback, game-winner, time runs out, pacers win. the indiana pacers playing beat the clock, they win the game. how much basketball, the maryland terrapins playing host to fordham tonight in college park. maryland is just outside of the top 25 in ranki

. >>> and jay gruden unfiltered. we talked rg3's future. all on the table. >>> this ishe xfinity sport desk, brought to you by xfinity, your home for the most live sports. >> so i think we like jay gruden, don't we? >> so far. >> okay. huh? what do you think? >> even with a losing record, i say yeah. >> the answer he gives about robert, a lot of time. still needs time to grow. >> he seems to like to answer questions. >> no, he keeps it real. definitely keeps it honest. he has no -- no question i could have asked him that he was afraid of, certainly not. so remember when 47-year-old jay gruden was introduced as the new head coach, bright-eyed and bushy tailed. some of us thought we were in for a ride. the head coach tells me the transition has been smooth. he feels he was prepared and ready for this job. so now nine games in, three wins, gruden sat down with me to talk about what everyone wants to know. who is really calling the shots. is dan snyder meddling? what is mr. snide schneider. how active is he in your decision makinger. >> i see h

questions of jay gruden's harsh criticism of him monday or whether he should have chosen his words more carefully sunday were sidestepped. >> i already said it via the power of social media, so there's no point me saying it again here. >> reporter: monday jay gruden said his team needs to be more careful about what they say to the media and the public. wednesday gruden blamed himself saying he should have kept criticism of griffin in-house. >> it was a mistake on my part and after a lot like this we're very disappointed the way we played. >> reporter: grew depp was asked whether his -- gruden was asked whether his quarterback was receptive to his harsh criticism and he said that he was. after all, he continued, we're professionals here. we have to be. >> dave says griffin also talked to his teammates monday about what he actually meant by those comments. linebacker ryan kerrigan says he didn't think griffin threw his teammates under the bus. he is there is solidarity in the locker room. >> reporter: the sheriff in calvert county doesn't want to talk anymore about his role in a controver

jay gruden, the coach, spoke about the loss a bit ago. our sports director is here to talk about that. what a mess. >> you said it correctly, too. they did leave a win in minnesota, no question about that. there are a lot of reasons for it. the defense was inconsistent, breakdowns, miscommunications, no pressure on teddy bridgewater. they lost containment. they didn't blitz him. you name it. for me, rg iii wasn't tough enough to win it. he was indecisive, took too long in the pocket, rolled in the pressure, and the pick, the interception before the half, was devastating. instead of 10-0 and getting the second-half kickoff it was 10-7 with lost momentum. where are the skins right now with the quarterback situation? here's jay gruden this afternoon. >> a good look at kirk. we get a look at colt, and now back to robert. the jury is still out on that position. we feel good about robert's progress so far and we just have to continue to build and see how he does from week to week to week. hopefully, we can see that here at the end of the season

that's what holds the group of guys together, jay gruden. they believe in him, want to play for him, work for him. but between themselves, it's becoming more of an issue than i think needs to ever be handled in the loc. >> and jay gruden obviously had a lot of to say today about robert griffin iii's comments. he also has a lot to say about robert griffin iii's performance on the field. and boy, is it not good. we're going to have that coming up in sports. i'm dianna russini live in redskins park. back to you. >> it's a tough room. >>> the nfl says it cooperated when federal agents with the dea surprised players yesterday. >> they were with medical staffers for the 49ers, buccaneers and seahawks. those surprise inspections came amid suspicions some teams are issuing pain killers to keep the players on the field. this was alleged by former players in a lawsuit year. the its knowledge there were no irregularities found during yesterday's inspections. >> so what's the next step for bill cosby? >> at 5:00 tonight, some people are glad the comedia

did jay gruden apologize for criticizing? >> pretty much. he wanted to stand up for the rest of the team, but in so many words he did apologize for being so openly critical of griffin and his performance. that's what we kind of like about gruden, his honesty and openness instead of all the clay shea answers, but robert knows he's going to filter what he says. >> we'll break him of that honesty stuff. >>> the weather real quick? >> cold tonight, no record lows, chilly tomorrow in the 40s and arctic air on friday in the, but 50s and 60s on the way. >> we can hang in there. that's it for us now. the cbs evening news is next. >> i'll be back with jan for your only local news at 7:00. we'll see you then. >> pelley: tonight, shut the front door. an historic snowfall has people stuck in their homes, stranded on the roads. >> keep going. we pulled over under this bridge and we've been sitting here ever since. >> pelley: jericka duncan tells us there's more on the way. nbc pulls the plug on bill cosby after another woman accuses him of sexual assault

listen to jay gruden. >> robert had some fundamental flaws. his footwork was below average. he took three steps when he should have taken five, and he took a one step drop when he should have taken three on a couple occasions, and that should not have happened. he read the wrong side of the field a couple of times, so from his basic performance, just critiquing robert, who was not even close to being good enough to what we expect in that quarterback position. >> yes, and if you watch the game, i think you will concur. he will either get better, or his future with the redskins will and. that is how far his quarterbacking skills have dropped since his knee injury, nowhere close to where he was in 2012. >> now, we will find out volumes. >> i do not think anybody would imagine this back in 2012, so much hype, and now such a change. >> yes. >> fedex field. redskins fans facing the possibility. >> plus, the pope's plan to make another trip to the u.s., and when we will know if it will include a stop in our area. >> it is getting more expensive for people in the metro area. how the

afterwards, jay gruden wasn't one to hold back his disappointment. >> he did some good things offensively. offensively we weren't good enough. defensively we weren't good enough. but robert made some great throws, obviously made some poor throws. we'll have to have look at the tape. >>> d.c. united in new york for game one of the eastern conference fines. they have knocked new york out every time they have faced them in the post season. this time the red bulls making it difficult. they shut out d.c. united 2- nil. >>> washington capitals looking to snap a three-game skid. they get their captain back on the scoring side of things. ovie got the third goal for the first time in six games but in the third, sam gagne gives the coyotes the lead. the caps have lost four in a row. i just realized i gave you three losing teams so is i apologize for all the negative news there. >> not your fault. >> it's like when i apologize for the to the people of the coffee-drinking world. the time has come to put down the dark roast you've been putting up with and reach for the one you deserve. dunkin' donuts

dan snyder and jay gruden were all smiles before the game kicked off. plenty of reasons to smile. first offensive play of the game. andrew luck off the play fake gets sacked and stripped of the football by ryan kerrigan. you see jason hatcher jumping all over it. one of three turnovers for the redskins. they came away with three points from the turnovers. later in the game, luck finding his groove. a wide open kobe fleener. doesn't get much easier than that. 30-yard touchdown. the colts take a 7-approximate lead. third quarter, up 21-10. mccoy trying to bring his team back. making a few guys miss. stays on his feet. he finds logan paulson. first touchdown reception for him this season. redskins down by just four. but indy answered back. third down, luck taking his time, dante moncrief. getting behind the defense and indy starts to pull away. they're up 28-17. later in the quarter, the redskins at the fourth and inches. gruden decides to go for it. sacked by walden. did he quell jackson scoops it up. the former terp, 35-yard touchdown yard. mccoy sacked six times by the colts defen

jay gruden has a solution for us and it's going to be interesting to hear. we head out to the park to hear fr get. >>> question really should get dr. phil to visit ash burn. a sound bite, a tweet, an instagram post. you can imagine. he would be saying, what are you guys doing? that's what he would say. this week's drama around robert griffin's comments. when things are bad, this kind of stuff starts to happen. deshawn jackson had an instagram rant that some think is a shot back at robert. it's jay gruden's job. >> if wasn't to look at the good teams in this league or the great quarterbacks, the peytons and aaron rogers. they don't play well if their guys don't play well. they don't. we need everybody. i need every one of those guys in the locker room. >> it's our job in house as players and coaches to make sure we say the right things and not let that -- not let your words get twisted by the media or anybody. >> it's cold out there. that's why he had that hat on. >> i like the hat. >> fashion. good news trent williams doesn't need surgery. he only has an ncl

one thing that's different and pretty refreshing is the honesty of the head coach jay gruden. gruden doesn't supply us with cliche staples week after week. he tells -- statements week after week. he continues us how he feels, call -- tells us how he feels and has made it very clear robert griffin, iii is playing for his job now. gruden said he's auditioned long enough. cluck's ticking. he's got to play. we'll see. we -- clock's tick ticking. he's got to play. we'll see. we got to play better around him. some adversity is striking around him and how he reacts to that of on the field, his mental state of mind, how it affects his confidence, hopefully it's not in a negative way. >>> to baseball adam laroche is headed to the windy city agreeing to a two year deal for $25 million with the chicago white sox. he will most likely be a designated hitter and first baseman. he had 26 ho merslast year. despite that he was paid a $2 million buyout. >>> it's high school playoff time with lake braddock and springfield. kyle edwards heaves one downfield. tyreke middleton incredible catch puts

jay gruden says he made this decision on monday. he calls all three quarterbacks in on tuesday to tell them without the rest of the team that robert griffin iii is no longer going to be the starter. colt mccoy will be under center on sunday. the first snap belonged to mccoy. griffin prepared to be his backup. gruden says he knows rg-3 did play better and that signature hymn down right now may help him in the long term. but he added, right now mccoy gives the skins a better chance to win a game and that as long as he's productive, the job is his. >> i'm prepared to give colt every opportunity to keep the job, yes. that's not an issue for me. if he zshgs he'll be the quarterback next week. if he does, he'll be the quarterback the following week. but he's an experienced quarterback. he's got, you know, some games under his belt in the nfl. he has a little bit more experience than the other two guys have here. and, you know, he plays like it. >> gruden said that he made the switch because rg 3 just isn't producing enough. so lots more t

gruden yesterday when he said the jury is still out on the quarterback is efficient hit a nerve and stimulated the competitive spirit of rg iii who hit the stump like you is looking for votes. day, robertlection griffin iii did some campaigning of his own -- the office he covets his franchise quarterback. am and ieve that i believe this organization knows that i am and the guys in the locker room believe that i am. >> griffin is the incumbent, although monday am a jay gruden made news when he said the jury is still out on that position. >> i've only played two games him the quarter. everybodythis year, had a clean slate. everybody's got to prove why they should be here, why they should be out there and have the opportunity to make plays. on monday, gruden all but mentioned rg iii by name when the coach said this. >> we have some fragile egos here and the quarterback's number one strength is that he has to be thick skinned. >> what griffin thinks of those comments, only he knows for sure. >> they might not believe we have the leadership to be successful, but we do. >> with the redski

both griff in and his head coach, jay gruden trying to put everythi behind him. griffin did have one comment saying he talked to his entire team about his postgame comments on monday. monday, gruden said he made the mistake of singing out griffin and putting the attention on one guy instead of the entire team and then turned the focus on himself. it wasn't the right t do on my part. corrections should be made in-house with everybody involved. the play speaks for itself. thn field spoke for itself. i didn't have to elaborate on any individual fundamental things other than the team was not good enough, was not prepared enough, was not coached good enough to beat the tampa bay buccaneers. lovie had their team ready to play more than i had my team ready to play. it was a reflection on me, the whole direction of the game, a reflection on me and the coach's staff and i have to take responsi for that. >> jay gruden first year head coach, robert griffin iii, only 24 years old and they will make mistakes. >> focus on san francisco. that's right. now to basketball. wizards

far as jay gruden is concerned, he doesn't want any time off will stop he wants to play asap. but he's not underestimating the time off. get youryour time off, minds right and bodies right and then get ready for the last seven games to compete their butts off. that's all there is to it. i wish we did not have a bye this week. i wish we could play tomorrow, the way we played that game and left it out there. awaynk sometimes getting four or five days could be good for them. >> a crazy play with oregon and toh -- travis wilson is caleb clay for what looks like a 78 yard touchdown. but if you watch closely, he drops the ball for crossing the end zone any officials never blew the whistle. meanwhile, he says i will take what you dropped, scores the touchdown and takes it back. 14 to nothingng come utah, it turns into a seven-seven game. and a final note for nascar fans thrown at thewere end of this race. shocking. >> that's disappointing. better luck >> call it more of a trick the entry for this year in ohio. it got a plastic halloween pumpkin stuck on it said. neighbors have drier

but before they left, rg iii spoke to the media in response to jay gruden who said the jury is still out on the redskins quarterback position. >> when it comes to being the franchise guy, it is what it is. there's no doubt there, so i don't ever try to make a claim saying i'm the guy. it's not like that. this is my team and i'm going to lead it. >> our play of the night comes from the eyes. -- comes from ice. highlight reel goal. look at the goal here. the blues when it in a shootout final. the big national story is adrian peterson avoided jail time in a plea agreement. the judge deferred a finding of guilt for two years. he was fined $4000 and given 80 hours of community service of stop half of the community service will be done with a public service announcement. >> the nfl future still a little cloudy. >> no clouds tonight for those still heading to the polls. >> nothing to make a difference. some rain over parts of arkansas and oklahoma today. most of the country didn't have any problems with the weather. we will have another beautiful day tomorrow, near 70. clouds and showers an

. >> 24 hours ago, redskins head coach, jay gruden uttered four words setting off speculation. the jury is still out. that was part of his response when asked to assess the quarterback situation through the first nine weeks of the season. in another interview, the redskins are not going to quote, self-appoint rg3, the franchise quarterback of the future. the head coach has really seen griffin play two full games. as for rg3, he said today he understands the criticism and knows he has to prove he is the guy.>> when it comes to the franchise guy that is what it is. i believe that i am, i believe this organization knows that i am and there's no doubt there. so, i don't ever step on to the field trying to make a claim saying, i'm the guy. it's not like that. this is my team and i'm going to lead it. >> the redskins held a closed practice this afternoon for profootball talk is reporting the skins worked out former raiders qb. he hasn't been with the team since seattle cut him in the preseason. why are the redskins looking at him? we really don't know why considering they have three

. >> tomorrow, find out the one part of the job that jay gruden says is most challenging. that's on news 4 at 5:00. college basketball season is almost here. the mary men tip off tomorrow night. maryland does have some big-time non-conference games but the season opener is not one of them. it's a cup cake game, like the two exhibitions they played. they looked unstoppable last week in the exhibition. they almost demolished san francisco state. the coach says he is trying to ease his guys in, build their confidence and while they is a lot we don't know about this year's team, we know the coach is pleased so far. >> this team has been fun to coach. not that the others weren't, but this has been a lot of fun to coach. a lot less distractions off the court with this group so far. it's early. we haven't had adversity yet. they have been fun in practice and working hard. >> not there on media day. but they have been working hard when they have been practicing. the first 13 non-conference games before big 10 action gets under way december 30th. baseball, it was mvp night. the nat

. >> so we can make the argument, is this decision being made just to get wins for jay gruden or is this something they feel in the future that roberts is no longer the guy? >> i don't know. i can't figure it out. i'm glad that he has a football mind and is smarter than me. >> somebody needs to figure something out. >> you have to figure, if you're putting hill on the bench for the second time. >> you know what you're doing. >> it's over. that's what that means. >> all right. >> the cleveland cavaliers got their revenge tonight after the wizards' double digit win last week in d.c. tonight the wizards were never really in the game. for the first time this year washington has lost two in a row. lebron james and company try to hand the wizards their second straight loss. pick this up, gortat with the misshot. the rebound, get to lebron james who is right on the floor and driving pretty nice. 29 points. now second quarter, the cavs are up by 12 points. bradley, a nice move here. picks up two of his 12 points. third quarter. the cavs get the win 113-87. let's led to new york. alex ovechkin pl

there's still plenty of work to do and in today's tell conference jay gruden addressed some changes could be coming. he's got a lot of evaluating to do and he wouldn't name griffin as next week's starter quite yet. >> we're evaluating all our guys right now. our starting lineup is not etched in stone for sunday's game at indianapolis. we'll have a plan moving forward wednesday. right now today at 3:15 we feel like robert is that guy right now. >> he sounds so excited about that. here are griffin's numbers the last three weeks, 188 yards passing a game, two touchdowns, three interceptions. griffin has been sacked 16 times in the last three games. ouch. >>> the baltimore ravens return from their bye week to take the national stage tonight in new orleans. they face drew brees and the saints on monday night football. ravens are 6-4 but last in their division. they need this win tonight to stay in the thick of things in the afc north. >> every game is important and in game against new orleans is the most important game this year. >> we'd probably like to be in a little bit better position, but

gruden used the bye week to assess his team through the first nine weeks and try to pinpoint why they are 3-6. what he figured out was his team isn't nearly as bad as the record indicates. considering the quarterback carousel and the injuries they've suffered, gruden points out it's the little things, the lack of consistency that's put them in the basement of the nfc east, lack of attention to detail. the skins lost two games by three points or less. gruden feels this team is capable of really turning their season around. >> you look at the six losses and there's a play here, a play there. we're just so close to being 7- 2 as opposed to 3-6 and that's the way the nfl is right now. >> we could even be 6-3 this season. we all know what we're capable of as a team when we get all phases rolling. we just got to string together some wins. >> they're all staying positive. today receiver leonard hankerson went through his first full practice as a member of the 53 man roster. he was activated last week. now the real challenge begins, working his way back into the extremely crowded receiver rot

. >> jay gruden says his team needs to take the bye week to rejuvenate and come back refreshed. after the loss to the vikings, they dropped to 3-6 on the season. game is the return from a dislocated ankle. though he did make things well for someone who hasn't played in seven weeks. there are plenty of decisions he would like back. but we have seen that all season in this quarterback carousel that is happening with the redskins, included curt cousins. coach gruden is at a loss on how to assess the play for that position throughout the first nine weeks of the season. >> the quarterback, what can you say? he hurts his ankle and then he misses five or six weeks. we get a good look at colt, and now it's back to robert. so, the jury is still out on that position. we feel good about robert's progress so far. >> still plenty to go. the redskins aren't the only ones who need to regroup. got crushed by the steelers, but big ben roth lis burger throwing for six touchdowns. this is his second straight loss for the ravens and second straight divisional loss, which drops them to the bottom of
