Its what makes a subaru, a subaru. Coming up, i want to show you doppler 9000. We have rain, this stuff stretches all the way down to the gulf coast. Late rain now, steady, even moderately leaf at times. We are tapering off to showers later this afternoon. That is why the yellow alert. Highs in the 50s today, then it gets arctic cold later on. Now beverly and timesaver traffic. Southbound lanes of 270 with the incident south of 109 right as traffic is trying to merge on from sod. You are down to single file to the left with this crash and the delays, pretty much leaving frederick at this point. Take you over to the beltway in silver spring. We have already seen the volume growing on the outer loop after new hampshire. 395 corridor, volumes building in landmark. Getting there is a problem. Westbound on seminary road right at 395. Only one lane questioning by the tractor Trailer Crash. Thanks beverly. Three weeks ago tonight the redskins fans celebrated a victory over their biggest fans, the dallas cowboys. Remember that. After you watched what happened sunday, it was ugly. Nick giovanni is here with a look. How do you lose to one of the worst teams at football, at home . You mail it in. You think you can come out and do anything. Exactly. You look at the redskins the position they are in. They are in no position to overlook anybody right now. The product they ended up putting out on the field yesterday, garbage. Both sides of the field, based on the bust of a performance we saw against the bucs, no one has proven they deserve to start at any position. Quarterback spot included. Jay gruden called sundays outing a horrific game. Certainly a nightmare for r. G. I. Sacked six times. A pair of interceptions added to the resume. That one was inexcusable. Some calling for colt mccoy, before washington eventually went down 277 to a one win tampa bay team. You are what your record says you are. Well yeah, tampa bay a terrible team. After the team griffin came to grips the redskins just arent a Good Football Team right now saying he and his teammates have to look in the mirror. I have seen the hours put in. I know the hours i put in to be successful and to work hard and it is not happening right now. But well strap up our boots and realize that we are 37. Hey playoffs are out of the door. We have to find what we are going to play for. We do know what it is. Or how about playing for jobs. The results for business stands for not for long. That is really the question at the end of the day the rips have to answer. With each pick, each prolonged scramble that ends in a sack or even worse, not making a decision not going through the progressions, 2012 becomes more of a distant memory. For now saying all the right things, accepting ownership, calling on his teammates to do the same. It is safe to say the franchise q blabel could be called into question and whether or not he has alienated himself from that locker room. Protection was terrible in the pocket yesterday. Now there is a big hole to fill on the offensive line. All pro offensive tackle Trent Williams went down, this is a scary moment, with him walking off the field banging a table in frustration. He is having an mri today on what is being called a sprained mcl. Williams has not missed a game since the 2011 season. This could be a very big blow. Hopefully he will be okay. It is a blessing, probably. How does Deshone Jackson feel now after standing up for r. G. Iii . Body language says a lot. You could see a lot of frustration in jacksons eyes and in pierre bar son. There are a lot of things in play here right now. You could tell on the face of it, there was some frustration. One of the things in play, it is just a line saying how they feel about r gi i when your quarterback is sacked six times. It is the game before. Certainly not a good sign. But again this comes back to getting a ball out more quickly though. Thank you nick. Heres another look at our question of the morning at 6 15. When asked what they most look forward to when their kids move out, parents say having more time having more money or having more quiet is that. Well be right back.
