PrintGary Kubiak just said so in his presser. Kubes says he's in a walking boot and will be sent to several specialists this week. He would not go as far as to say that Matt Schaub broke his foot and is lost for the year.

dream
has turned into freddy kruger
Houston errthang.. first off, get rid of pubes.. Rockets-Texans-Dynamo & Longhorn fan.. an Astros fan these days is an oxymoron
I know we all saw him hobbling after the QB Sneak
but he continued to play after that and seemed fine. I didn’t think much of it.
In any case, next man up for the time being. Two weeks to get Leinart prepared to hand off to Foster and Tate.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Yep, next man up.
This is the only time is doesn’t suck to have an “elite” QB.

get leinart up to speed with the ones if need be, and pray he only needs to fill in one game if schaub has to ‘miss some time’

Kubiak: Danieal Manning is making great progress and should contribute before season is over.

All he has to do is hand off the ball and throw the occasional deep ball on a PA pass to a wideopen te/wr.....right?

I see no reason for us to lose against the glitter kitties
they scored 14points because they had a short field d/t turnovers….
I think leinart will excel with this offense…maybe not schaub but sufficient…
DOES ANYONE KNOW THE INJURY? or they are not telling?
2011 Season is the Reason!!!
Make no mistake
he’s done for the year. If you translate Kubiakspeak to English he said “We’re getting one more opinion to be sure, but he is done for the year”.
More Schaub
Kubiak said Schaub will be in a boot throughout this week and his visits to those doctors will start next Monday or Tues

How shitty
Schaub, Foster and Andre just can’t seem to be on the field at the same time.
Honestly, I don't see the gameplan changing from the last four weeks
If Matt Leinart releases a pass 15 to 20 times a game and hands it off 30 to 40 times, results should be consistent.
"All our lives we're taught to get in line. The ones who conform never discover." - Undrafted Free Agent and NFL Rushing Leader Arian Foster
Sadly, not true
They can stack the box on us to hurt the run game. Schaub changes things because of his willingness to throw the deep ball. Look at yesterday as an example.
Leinart was known as Captain Checkdown in Zona.

Last week, yes Schaubby threw that first pass to Jacoby
But, the majority were throws to TEs, short slants to KW, outlets to RBs. Were they not?
"All our lives we're taught to get in line. The ones who conform never discover." - Undrafted Free Agent and NFL Rushing Leader Arian Foster

The question mark is how honest can Matt Leinart keep teams?
He’s never had time with the ones, but he has two weeks to get acclimated.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Correction...
Schaub changes things because of his willingness to throw the deep ball
You mean underthrow the deep ball right?
Hopefully Leinart can at least do that…
I don’t want to diminish the effectiveness of Schaub during this run but hopefully Leinart can fill in adequately as he’s got some awesome weapons around him and has at least won games in the NFL previously.
I refuse to panic until absolutely necessary…
but just to be prepared I’m going to go ahead and stock up on bleach…
teh Schaub has rarely underthrown the deep ball this year

I'm pretty sure...
that Jacoby had to make a pretty significant adjustment to the ball on his touchdown catch.
Maybe it is just the most recent example that is sticking in my mind but for some reason I can clearly recall Dre having issues with underthrown balls earlier this year….
But that may be him overrunning them rather than Schaub underthrowing them
He overthrew a few to Walter
in the previous weeks.

he needs to be throwing to get it going with our running game going so good its hard for him to get going

But hey,
If the broncos can win running the ball with tebow(while losing two running backs)and playing good defense, I think leinart can do the same with Benarian Fostate.
I think this could be an oppurtunity to show what the texans can really do on offense and defense ( like last year when green bay lost aaron Rodgers).

No NBA, then this
Schweinsteiger breaking his collarbone 2 weeks ago (essentially the same as losing your QB in soccer)
fuck my shit life
what I meant to say was
that injury is the soccer equivalent to losing your QB but worded it wrong cause fuck everything
Well...
Looks like Shaub will miss at least six weeks according to good ole Wikipedia no matter how you look at it.
My thoughts are like Brian Cushing on the field: Everywhere.
According that link...
American football players occasionally get this injury, often when they have their foot pointing down and someone lands on their heel.
Kubiak said it happened during the QB sneak when someone fell on the back of Matt’s foot…
We should all have seen this coming
Schaub is injury prone after all

I'm nonplussed
The offense has shifted to a run-first philosophy this season. All Matt Leinart has to do is keep defenses honest enough by making throws to Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels. He also has two weeks to prepare for what is, essentially, a preseason game against the Jaguars.
No excuses. Playoffs or bust.

I'm with TDC
They will handle this speedbump the way they have handled losing Mario, AJ, Manning, and Foster. They will rely on their other players to pick it up. Leinart just has to throw enough to keep the other team honest. If he makes mistakes, this team is good enough to overcome mistakes.
"All our lives we're taught to get in line. The ones who conform never discover." - Undrafted Free Agent and NFL Rushing Leader Arian Foster
And fortunately, we have a bye week so Leinart can make sure he's up to speed with the first team.

I think Leinart is good enough to secure us a playoff spot but I can’t say I have any confidence that we can win a championship with him. Please Lord, let him prove me wrong if Schaub is done for the year.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
Last year this would have been devastating...
This team is running and defense. Playoffs are a lock. This may cost us home games though. Shit, if Andre can be ridiculous with David Carr at the helm, he can get his with Leinart throwing the rock.
And, Foster is just now starting to peak.

Of course he didn’t have kubes coaching him up either.
freakin sucks
but at least we have a team that is built to handle this (duo RB and solid D). However, i’m sure Jags will sell out to stop the run so Leinart will have to make some throws for us to win.
Got lucky that the bye week is now so Leinart gets extra time to practice.
It's official
Jerry Jones has sold his soul to the Devil so that the Texans don’t win a Super Bowl before his beloved Romo led Cowgirls do. CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPP!!

He really is better than before
Not same same as he was when he played for the Cardinals. We saw that during pre-season. He has a great line to protect him. Running game to support him. AJ to make him look good. He’s also pretty mobile.
The left-handedness will throw off some of the receivers, but that’s what the extra week is for. To adjust.
This might be a good thing masked as a bad thing. Not enough game tape to gameplan against Leinart. And opposing teams will be focusing on the run game anyways.

old military speak for getting your act together
v. To “get your shit in one sock” means to get organized, to “pull yourself together,” to regain your composure. Having to use more than one sock to hold a given volume of feces is considered wasteful and inefficient, if by careful planning a single sock would do the trick. Thus, the essence of this phrase is a metaphor for thriftiness.

i'm going to choose to believe that leinert is gonna be awesome
kubes believes in him and he has a good eye for QB’s so I will believe that with a soft schedule leinert will be good
Well we can hope
that Leinart will look like Kevin Kolb and put up some admirable numbers and lead us to win more games than we lose. If that is the case perhaps we could have some offers for Leinart in the offseason.

I'd rather that Leinart
Pull a Matt Cassel when he took over for an injured Tom Brady. Actually, I expect a similar outcome.
My thoughts are like Brian Cushing on the field: Everywhere.
Back in the 80s, I think it was
Jim Plunkett who was crapping out in the league came in to replace the injured Dan Pastorini for the Oakland Raiders and proceeded to throw five INTs in the first game he started. The Raiders went on to get into the playoffs and win the Super Bowl with Plunkett QBing.

how huge is it that leinart came back. kubes has 2 weeks to get him ready. and we get AJ back as well. unlike the preseason, he’ll have a pro-bowl OL and RBs to protect him. we need to rally.
if we make it through this, clinch the division, and get schaub back for the playoffs, watch out.

give leinhart a little credit, he’s not as bad as a lot of the starting quarterbacks in the league. we will have andre back, we still got foster and tate… we should be okay.

Just read that too, thank you little one, why does god hate the Texans? Heard it on Battle Red Blog, posting now:
Well ive broken a foot or two in my life, 2 weeks for the stress fracture, and about 6 weeks for when i broke the top of my foot.
I’ve never liked Schaub, but ive never hated him. I think he is what he is, a good quarterback who can win you the game with the right people, and loose you the game without those people, but make it interesting. Better than most, but never a top tier QB. That said, he sells the play action pass better than anyone in the league (I really mean that)
I think Leinhart should be given the chance. I saw a few of his games in Arizona and I thought he did well, and he had no running game to speak off. If the coaching staff can limit his throws we can run the ball and play our strengths. In fairness to Leinhart, he has a stronger arm then schaub.

I tend to agree. Head Coaches don't use words like "significant injury" the day after a game
especially regarding the starting QB
especially when they down play other injuries like Andre’s and he proceeds to sit out 6 games
In Andre's case, I tend to think he would've been playing sooner if the team were struggling at all
We were rolling without him so why not sit him through the bye and get him 100%.
I agree the team has a history of downplaying injuries though
http://www.crawfishboxes.com
Wild speculation:
They probably aren’t sure whether it needs surgery yet and want to cover all the bases before deciding. No surgery, Schaub probably back come playoff time. Surgery, out for season.

What I remember from Leinert in preseason
was that he was constantly under pressure and had no time. He didnt panic under the pressure and throw int’s. He took sacks rather than throw into coverage. I think that is all we need…for him not to make stupid plays. I think the first string OL will give him more time, and then he might be in position to throw downfield. Honestly, I think he will do fine, and even though it might take a bit for him to shake off the rust, the bye week and Jax game comes at a good time for that.
No I'm concerned as well
But I’m concerned for what we could’ve done in the playoffs. Not getting there. I think we are in. But I wanted more than that and I’m worried it may not happen.

No weight bearing on the foot if it is a lisfranc injury
Treatment options include operative or non-operative treatment. If the dislocation is less than 2 mm, the fracture can be managed with casting for 6 weeks. The patient’s injured limb cannot bear weight during this period. For operative treatment, screws +/- k-wire will be used for internal fixation of the fracture after closed or more likely open reduction. Again, the patient’s injured limb should not bear weight for approximately 6–12 weeks. The screws/k-wires are usually removed later, sometimes before weight bearing.

I'm actually optimistic about this move.
Leinart isn’t a bad qb and has had plenty of time to learn the system. plus it’s not as if schaub won’t be around. he just won’t be able to play. dennison is a really good qb coach and offensive coordinator and kubiak can focus on running the ball more and using that to set up the play action. I think we will be just fine. this should cheer everyone up.

"San Antonio is the best falling down team in the league"- Bill Worrell
Lisfranc: 6-12 weeks
The Lisfranc fracture is a fracture of the foot in which one or all of the metatarsals are displaced from the tarsus.1
It is named after 18th- and 19th-century surgeon and gynecologist Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin.
Treatment options include operative or non-operative treatment. If the dislocation is less than 2 mm, the fracture can be managed with casting for 6 weeks. The patient’s injured limb cannot bear weight during this period. For operative treatment, screws +/- k-wire will be used for internal fixation of the fracture after closed or more likely open reduction. Again, the patient’s injured limb should not bear weight for approximately 6–12 weeks. The screws/k-wires are usually removed later, sometimes before weight bearing.
more...
What is a typical course of non-operative treatment?
For a stable Lisfranc injury, treatment begins with a period of immobilization either in a removable boot or frequently a cast that includes the foot and the leg below the knee (a short leg cast). This typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks with the patient using crutches and not allowed to put weight on the injured extremity. At the same time, it is important to elevate the injured leg to decrease the swelling and therefore the pain from the injury. Icing the foot can be done also for pain and swelling if a boot is used and direct access to the foot is possible. Pain medications, usually in the form of anti-inflammatories, are also taken. In the case of a more minor injury, the duration of limited weight-bearing and immobilization may be shortened at the treating physician’s discretion.
What happens after surgery on the Lisfranc joint?
Postoperatively following a typical Lisfranc joint repair, the patient must be non-weightbearing on the operative foot. This period of restricted weight-bearing and relative immobilization is typically 6-8 weeks. Subsequently, the amount of weight-bearing allowed is gradually increased over the next few weeks. Physical therapy is initiated and sports-specific training is begun. At some point, once the torn ligaments have been given sufficient time to heal, the screws used to fix the Lisfranc injury are removed as a minor operative procedure. This again allows normal motion and function to take place in the athlete’s midfoot region. It also avoids breaking of the screws by a repetitive fatigue mechanism with impact loading that occurs during weight-bearing on the repaired foot. Although the actual timing is somewhat controversial, this usually occurs somewhere between 3 and 6 months after the first operation takes place.
When can someone typically return to playing sports after being treated for a Lisfranc injury?
Stable Lisfranc injuries that do not require surgery may cause an athlete to miss 2 months or more of their season. However, most athletes are able to successfully return at some point. Those injuries that are unstable, and require surgical repair, are serious injuries that almost always cause the injured athlete to miss the remainder of their season. It is also not uncommon for a high level athlete to not be able to return to the same level of athletic performance even in following seasons. Two well-known examples are Eric Rhett and Duce Staley both of whom had surgery for a serious Lisfranc injury and never successfully returned to their pre-injury form.
What is the prognosis of a Lisfranc injury for an athlete?
A Lisfranc injury is a very serious, often season and sometimes career threatening injury. Untreated, a Lisfranc injury can lead to chronic, debilitating pain in the midfoot. The injury also is a cause of secondary arthritis of the involved joints which is possible even with the appropriate care (surgical or not), but is considerably higher if not treated in a timely fashion.

"All our lives we're taught to get in line. The ones who conform never discover." - Undrafted Free Agent and NFL Rushing Leader Arian Foster
basically it seems like regardless of op or non-op
he has to be non-weightbearing for 6-8 weeks. Depending on the severity of the injury if they go non-op maybe he would be out for less time

If this was a couple years ago i would of drank myself to death, but knowing we have THE BEST WR coming back and have a number 1 defense im pretty optimistic. Not to mention our schedule is favorable and have the best running game in the league. Leinart needs to just manage the game, make the right decisions, and not turn the ball over and i think we’ll be fine. Im confident we’ll for sure make the playoffs but if Schaub is out for the year i doubtful about a playoff run.

They don’t call him the horse whisperer for no reason. I know it’s not a lot to take from but we’ve gotta weather this. I’m starting to think we really need to invest in a QB in the next 2 years through the draft.
schaub is the man!
i’m his biggest fan. he would lead this team all the way, however, leinhart will do it and will surprise the shit out of everybody. i told some people this last year, this guy will be the one to lead this team when schaub goes down. hopefully schaub isn’t out for the rest of the season (however according to the post above he’s out) but if he is…. it’s OK!

Everyone in the world knows what Matt Leinart is going to give you.
He is NOT going to come in and be the second coming of Tom Brady or turn into another Matt Cassell.
What you hope is that the Texans can go 3-3 at the minimum and get into the playoffs.
This is the greatest test this team will have ever faced and the fate of the team is now in the hands of the Defense and the Run game.
The rest of the team has to step up in a major way.

I’m still not too worried about it. People need to step back and realize that our team has a VERY stout defense, a VERY strong running game, and talented WR’s/TE’s that make big plays for us.
Will we look as good as we’ve looked the past 4 games? Probably not, but we’ve got 7 weeks to adjust for the play-offs. If anyone can get a fresh QB under control, it’s Gary QB Kubiak.
Relax, my fellow Texan’s fans. All is not lost.

At least we have Leinart instead of some rookie at the helm. He has some playing experience in Arizona. When he was there he had Fitzgerald and they had some good games.
Kubes apparently talked on 610
Transcript from another site:
At this point, we got all kinds of reports. Schefter reported Matt is out for the season.
Thats not our opinion as of right now. We’re in the process of him seeing some doctors in the next few weeks. He will miss some time. Hopefully we can get him back and we’ll keep our fingers crossed. He’ll be in a boot for a week.
When did this injury happen?
When we were inside our own 1 in the 2nd Q, trying to get room there, we ran QB sneak, it was a big muddle and somehow the pile fell on him. He got taped at half, he said he was fine. It was bothering him. They did X-ray after game. Showed nothing. Came back, got off plane, swelled up pretty good, did MRI, saw more and did a CT scan. As they progressed, didnt like what they were seeing.

i’m a huge Coog fan and I love Keenum, i would have his babies if i could, but i learned a long time ago to separate college success with NFL future success. I was just wondering where he might end up, lower than the 4th huh?
I think he could go as high as a 4th round pick.
My personal opinion is that with a few years behind another QB (like Schaub for instance) Keenum could be a very good NFL QB. I’d be all for taking him with a 4th.
You've got to be kidding me

In fact – why are you reading this instead of watching film. Get in the film room.
PS – Don’t fuck up.
Signed -

Geez. And i thought we were fucked up lol. The football gods really do hate the Texans
I never like to see a guy go down. And as much as i hate the Texans, i want you guys to have Schaub. Because if my titans somehow find a way to win the division, it won’t be due to a injured team.

And here I was, about to vote a 90 in the Confidence Poll
Back down to 40!
The Texans are like a $14 wine. They're supposed to get better in time, but in the end it's still crap.

If memory serves
Leinert resigned with us even though he could have had a better contract, because he liked our system, and especially because he really believed in what he was learning from Kubiak. I thought I saw some very good things from him in preseason. So, although I would much rather have Schaub in there, I am not overly concerned about Leinert. I dont think we need a great quarterback to win with this team. I think Leinert is good enough.
^^^^ WTF.... when has a team with a sorry QB won the superbowl?
Doin stuff so nasty that you have to do it twice to confirm the level of nasty!!
Ahem
Jim Plunkett (Raiders) raises his hand while holding the Superbowl MVP award from XV and TWO rings from XV, XVIII
Trent Dilfer (Ravens) raises his hand showing off the Superbowl ring from XXXV
I rest my case…
Plunkett was not a sorry QB.... Dilfer was... ok you win...

alright guys
kubiak said he is still being evaluated so lets hope its not a season ending injury
fuck the naysayers
Brah is gonna lead us to the promised land. After he dominates the Glitter Kitties “top ranked defense” he’s going to relax in a golden hot tub of champagne with an assortment of college aged women from the greater jacksonville area.
Now that's Bo$$man level optimism

Leinart will be a surprise
A guy in my office told me Leinart’s going to be a surprise. He was too immature in AZ, but he’s had two years to learn the offense and get comfortable here.
Wouldn’t have thought much of it but he told me two years ago to watch Foster, he told me OR would wax Stanford, told me to take the Under on LSU/AL, etc. He’s a good student of the game.
Long and the short
Still win the division, win 10 or 11. But unless Schaub’s back by then, probably lose first playoff game.
Lesser talents
Didn’t the Bears get to the Super Bowl with Grossman.
Their defense was insane though
Ours is good too, but theres was just….woah.
If you're a fan of basketball, watch a movie called Sonicsgate. It's free, just google it.

No worries, we got this!
The ’72 Dolphins, yeah the undefeated team, lost Griese for the season when he broke his ankle against the Bolts in week 5. An aging Eral Morrall, who was picked up off the waiver wire at the start of the season, came in to mop up the win. He went on to start 11 more games and win 10 of them. Shula replaced him with Griese when the O struggled against the Steelers in the AFC Championship.
Miami had Csonka and Morris who both went over 1000 yds, in a 14 game season. First time ever in the NFL. Foster and Tate are on par to do this. They also had Kiick who was a versatile 3rd down back with good hands. Foster and Casey.
They had a HOF WR in Warfield./ AJ. A slow possesion WR in Twilley./ Walter. A slot WR who could stretch the field in Briscoe,/ Jacoby. All they needed was a QB to manage the games.
Oh, and they had the top rated defense in the league. Sound familiar.
All Lienart has to do is get us to the playoffs w/o effing up. We get a 1 or 2 seed and maybe we get Shaub back in week 19 to finish this thing just like Miami did.
Alcohol is necessary so that a man can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed by the facts.
Kiick also went over 1,000 yards that year....

No, 521 yds on 137 runs.
I had to look that one up.

You are correct....

Schaub foot injury
Stupid decision to QB sneak with a stable of stud running backs. Reminds me of Mack Brown thinking it was smart to QB sneak Colt McCoy early in the bowl game two years ago. If the QB is really important, protect him when you have a choice…
