. the quarterback battle has been the hot topic this preseason. but it turns out neither colt brennan nor chase daniel a on the 53-man roster. the skins say they plan to put brennan on injured reserve because of hip and hamstring injuries. v.p. of football operations said today that brennan had an m.r.i. which showed a partially torn hamstring. daniel chase has been waived. he had 143 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. if he clears waivers and no other team picks him up, he could get a spot on the redskins practice squad. teams can establish their eight- man practice squad tomorrow. the skins head into the regular season with jason campbell and todd collins on the active roster. >> a lot of teams are doing that this year. we'll put one on the practice squad. we'll have three and antawn randel el can finish agame. you can save we put marcus mason on for the quarterback but, you know, there's 25 slots, and you have to go somewhere and you want to put your best 25, you know, on there. that's what we felt like we did. >> in addition to colt brennan being placed on i.r. and chas

brennan and todd collins. for now, colt may be the people's choice but what matters is the coaches' choice. collin is the number two qb. brennan is in his second year with the redskins and still in the growth and learning stage as an nfl quarterback. jim zorn will have a very tough decision to make. it is likely, though, he will stick with this guy, 15-year veteran collins who has been through this before and welcomes the competition. >> every year, you know, it is the same in the sense that you know there will be competition. somebody playing better than you, you know, then they are going to probably, you know, move up. my outlook has always again to prepare like a starter and prepare and be able to play at that level. you are not playing for a backup spot. you know, you are mott chasing, you know, the number two spot, number tee spot. everyone should have the mindset they are trying the play at the level of a starter and then when you have taunt to play, then you can, you know, produce like one. >> no security in this job. either you are moving up or down. and right now, i'm a th

justices who did not ask questions. justice brennan rarely asked there are justices who felt passionate and strongly about issues the way that justice thomas does but did not feel like participation, that the argument was that important or central. the interesting thing about the court is that all the residents are so unbelievably active. it is about as hot a bench as we have had. when i first argued cases, probably before anyone argue the case here, if you could argue a case and get no questions -- you could. zero questions. that would happen in the 1980's. >> and the 1990's i got in excess of 90 questions in 30 minutes. >> wow. >> if you look historically, it is not such an anomaly. thomas is very popular at court with the expansion of justices and ball parks, very engaging and funny. this is someone who, if he is paying attention. >> and if you read some of the literature done about his role in cases, it jan greenberg wrote a book or she painted him as being highly influential in important cases. so i think some people draw the wrong inferences from his silence from the bench. when p
