for a while. tame, you want to do, kind o work to see where you're at. in my situation, i'm not going to rush it. i won't put my body in jeopardy to be out there. and then i can't perform the way i want to perform. that's not good for me or the team. >> maybe he should have tweaked what he said a little bit. putting something bad on film, he is a free agent. he is looking for a new contract. you n't want him t there not helping. i talk to guys like gary clark and some of these guys. they laugh when they hear these little minor hamstring pulls. look at these little high school kids. i think we you a acon like. that offensively, there's been much made about the inbail to score points. they average about 20 ints per game. the biggest problem for the redskins' offense isn't finding the end zone. it is converting third downs.

the achilles' heel all season long. when it com to the money down, the redskins are the poorest team in the league ranging dead last in third down conversions. this goes all the way to the rams game when mike shanahan praised sam bradford for what he was able to do on thirddown. shanahan said third down. ironic considering mcnabb just got a new contract and he is the worst third down quarterback in football. that has to change. but it is not just mcnabb. they know entire offensive unit needs to improve. >> it's not that we can't do anything. we're doing a lot of good thing. good thing on first and second down. the one thing we're n doing third down. it is not a lack of, you can't do anything. getting guys, how do you play over 60 applause? not just one big play and three bad plays. it is, the offense is fine. we have to get our guys to play at that level consistently and

do a better job coaching. >> we didn't have anything wrong. i was pleased with the way we controlled it early. third and three, third and four, third and six. and i think we talk about the first five third downs, we should have made those plays. that's when you keep working. you get it doner you don't. we haven't been able to capitalize. and through the years we've been fairly decent in that area. >> and the same thing every third down. it seems like every situation, there is a different reason for their lack oficking up a first down. the punters have gotten a lot of work lately. >> and being last in the league, that's aery uncomfortable place to . and i guess kyle has to take the weight of that. >> absolutely have to. when they look at everything they say tey're happy with the way they're calling the game. >> i'm not. are you?

>> the end results. >> that's what it boils down. to once they win we have nothing to complain about. after that mat guy game in georgetown, the 20th ranked maude it rain them had 14 three-point earth on the way to an easy win. john thompson iii. it should be a couple easy plays. the only ranked team. jason clark bur advertise three of five. how about another one from the corner? freeman beats the buzzer for the first of his 20 points in the game. second hal the shot that clears from coaal carolina, down by 19. forced the turnover. nice passing here. greenwood in for the layup. he goes on an 11-0 run. it works. no problem there.

they beat coastal carolina easily 80-61. we're going to find out very quickly how far along these baby terps are. maryland forgs fourth ranked partnership. the first time these guys have ever played in the garden. th first time these guys have face ad top 25 team. gary william will be leaning heavily on this man. jordan william. the big forward has replaced him as the terps' best player. through three games, he's been very good. williams averaging 21 points in 13 rebounds per game. gary william the s anxious to see how he responds. >> this will be the best inside team we've played so far. and it is a great opportunity for to us see where we are

against quality teams. we're looking forward to that. and i like our team in terms of the effort they're making to learn what we're trying to do. this is another 10 to see where we are with that. >> just to prove people wrong. i'm always motivated. i come talk to you guys with a straight face. like you just said, i'll going afr it. and i don't care who it is. m trying to help my team. whatever i have to do, i'm going to do it. last night the latest example yf the caps are an excellent team. even on a rare night whennal he can ovechkin doesn't score at all, the team can still get it done. theyave another win thanks to some big saves. some rookie goalie michal neuvirth and a solid stand in the ird. the buffaloes, ryan miller. the best goaltender in the league. no score. five-on-three advantage for the

capitals. and they are getting it done. off the post and then off the skate one more time. you can see. kind of a lucky brk there. right across the line. the bre would come back. 30 seconds to play. sabres down by a goal. michal neuvirth is there. man, he is playing ry well. the capitals win 4-2. >> we have one group of winners. coming up, a hospital toy
