In year No. 2 under the Washington Redskins head coach's regime, the team has two players battling it out for the starting spot right up until the start of the 2011 season. Unproven quarterback John Beck is confident he can direct the Redskins to higher ground this season, but then there's Rex Grossman lurking in the shadows hoping to regain the form that helped him lead Chicago to Super Bowl XLI during the 2006 campaign.

BALTIMORE (AP) - Rex Grossman and John Beck have played well enough to convince coach Mike Shanahan that either one of them would be a decent starting quarterback for the Washington Redskins. Unfortunately, neither has done enough to distinguish himself as THE starting quarterback. So the competition will continue through next week, and perhaps even longer.

In the fourth, Johnson led the Tampa Bay on a 12-play, 84-yard drive which was capped by a two-yard touchdown run by Allen Bradford. The Patriots' first team defense gave Freeman fits early. Andre Carter, who signed with New England after the lockout following five seasons with the Washington Redskins, did not record a sack but frequently proved disruptive from his defensive end position. |
