season. there is roydell williams, joey galloway, devin thomas, mike fury. all of these guys are ahead of malcolm kelly on the depth chart. if he doesn't get back out there quickly, which mike shanahan says probably won't happen, he may not make the team. >> he has to be feeling the pressure. part of the issue is he has never been able to show what he has. you have to get back out there is the bottom line. somebody who was out there was the redskins' new quarterback, john beck. he said he was thankful to join the guys and get out there for practice. around the league, john beck is known as a likable guy. straight laced, confident. he spent two years with the miami dolphin after they drafted him 40th over all. last year he was the ravens backup. he has seen action in five nfl regular season games in his rookie season. offensive coordinator kyle shanahan has watched beck from afar for years. beck loves shanahan's offensive system. >> there's a lot of things i like about him. this offense is about timing and anticipation. those are the things i try to improve my skill at all the time. i feel like it is one of my strengths. it is fun to get out here and be a part of something new. hear the guys talk about being great as a team. >> you have to play the position. i haven't seen much film on him in the nfl. the way he played the position in college was as good as anyone. i want to get him here and see if he can train for the nfl. >> kyle shanahan excited to have beck to work with. kyle told him, i have been dieing to work with john beck since i watched him at byu. >> he says in the college days he may have been the best quarterback in the 2007 draft. >> how about the competition in the backfield? >> everybody is saying three years ago this would have been the best backfield in football. clinton portis, larry johnson and willie parker. clinton portis, six seasons of over 1,200 yards, larry johnson two seasons of 1,700 yards, fast quilly parker, a couple f pro bowls and super bowls. clinton portis was given a nudge by shanahan to take advantage of the off-season conditioning program. he did that. he is the starter. we are talking about all three running backs who are pushing themselves for the first time in their career because they are not necessarily the man. johnson and parker are low risk, high reward sightings. parker seems to be the third back at this point and larry johnson looking to resurrect his career. he was cut by the chiefs after some off the field issues. picked up by cincinnati. >> i don't know anybody, football or not football to come in and say i want to be third best. everybody comes in to put your talented out there to be that guy. me, clinton and willie have been that guy. >> you see them make a good play and you go, uh-oh. i have to step it up. >> no. guys make great runs and all the guys look at us like we got to pick it up. it has been great to have out here. you need that energy. you know who is number one, number two, number three. it has not been like that. everybody is competing for the job. >> i know i'm a good back. whatever, somebody trying to be great. i knew they had portis. when they signed l.j. i was like, i think that is a good situation for me to show everything what i'm made of. >> is this fast willie parker. >> i guarantee you. >> willie parker and larry johnson signing here even though clinton portis was here. he said i'm not worried about anything. i wondered why they both would sign here if i'm here. >> heck yeah. >> there is so little invested in these guys financially, there is little to lose. >> over the hill, we have to address brett favre. rumors are circling he has told the vikings he will not be back. >> a report comes out saying he is retiring and another report comes out and says they talked to his family and there is nothing to it. >> a teammate talked to favre for 30 minutes. favre says he is very much struggling, shocker, with the situation because he feels he is being pulled in a bunch of different directions and he feels 80% to 20% he could be back with the vikings. the bottom line according to brett favre through a player, he has no idea what he is going to do. he is set to play his 20th season. brian childress has not been told by favre he is retiring. last year favre said he wasn't playing and changed his mind after training camp wrapped up. favre threw 33 touchdowns and seven interceptions. led them to the playoffs where they lost to the super bowl champion saints. mike shanahan followed favre and had this to say about the future hall of famer. >> oh, god, i was with him when he was in his third year and went to his third pro bowl. i want to give it up. i got to see it before i believe it. rumors do circulate. >> mike shanahan sharing the thoughts of a lot of people out there. hey, other news for the nationals, adam dunn, the slugger has been placed on waivers. this means it's possible another team could pick him up. >> they pick him up and essentially work out a deal with the nationals. the players would be given the nationals for dun would have to clear waivers. this is a very normal thing. not like when a football team waives somebody. >> adam dunn could be back. other teams have the option to talk to the nationals about acquiring him. the redskins, haynesworth not practicing. hey, guys, maybe he'll be out here
