Report: Matt Schaub Done For Season

PrintThat's what a "league source" has told Adam Schefter, anyway. Schefter goes on to say that Matt Schaub suffered a Lisfranc injury, though we don't know the extent or specifics of what happened, except that Schaub sustained the injury on that QB sneak against Tampa yesterday.
Much more to come on this, I'm sure. In terms of my reaction, it's very simply as follows:
Your Houston Texans have already won 7 games, and the remaining schedule appears kind enough that it won't derail the first playoff appearance in franchise history. At the moment, however, I have a hard time envisioning a scenario where the Texans win a playoff game with Matt Leinart under center. That feeling is subject to change, but that's where I'm at now.
If this is true, and Schaub is in fact lost for the year, it's a game-changer. But it doesn't mean the season is over, and it doesn't mean the Texans are done. All we can do is hope for the best and hope that a returning Andre Johnson, the two-headed RB monster that is Arian Foster and Ben Tate, and Wade Phillips' freakish defense can do what they do to a point that the Texans can overcome what is undeniably a massive setback.
In the meantime, here's wishing Matt Schaub a speedy and full recovery.

Season Prediction v2.5.1 beta lite: Our Houston Wrexans will finish 11-5 and go UNDEFEATED within the AFC South!

I .... Think ..... Im ...... Going ...... To....... Throw up....... this...... lovely ...... Dinner
Keep the faith though!!!!!
•Roger Staubach backed up Craig Morton for the first few games of the 1971 season and the Cowboys won Super Bowl VI with Staubach.
•Terry Bradshaw was in and out of the starting role his first few years. He lost the job to Joe Gilliam in the 1974 preseason but after re-taking it led the Steelers to victory in Super Bowl IX.
•Jim Plunkett started out 1980 backing up Dan Pastorini and went on to win Super Bowl XV with the Raiders.
•Doug Williams only started two games in 1987 and lost them both. Joe Gibbs made him the starter for the playoffs over Jay Schroeder anyway and he won Super Bowl XXII.
•Jeff Hostetler took over for Phil Simms on the 1990 Giants after an injury and started each playoff game and Super Bowl XXV.
•Trent Dilfer backed up Tony Banks to start off 2000, but took over halfway through the season and rode Ray Lewis to victory in Super Bowl XXXV
•Tom Brady was the second-stringer for Drew Bledsoe in early 2001 but after Mo Lewis knocked Bledsoe out for the season Brady came back to win Super Bowl XXXVI
p.s I didnt know all that stuff of the top of my head! I had to look it up
Haha...you beat me to the punch...
Was going to mention what Hostetler and Brady did in relief for Simms and Bledsoe. You never know! Matt the 2nd (stringer) has two weeks to take snaps with the first team and get some chemistry going. He’ll have Andre to throw to as well which should keep our passing attack potent. And the Ace in the hole is that we have the best QB coach in the NFL as our HC. Kubiak will make sure he’s ready. Yet it’s up to Matt to step up and lead this time. I hope he has the nuts to step up and take care of business. At some point Schaub’s nuts had to drop as well, so even if he sucks for a couple weeks, don’t lose faith, he can still put it together.
NOW, the debate about Schaub will definitely be ended. How valuable IS he to this offense? We shall see. If we suck monkey balls, then we all know that Schaub is the shiznit. If Leinart kicks ass, then we know that Schaub sucks monkey balls. If we kinda suck or are kinda good then we know that Schaub kinda does or doesn’t suck monkey balls. Make sense? YES, YES IT DOES.
I think a fun question in times like this would be
What IF Leinart comes in and wins out. takes us through the playoffs and wins a superbowl. What do we do with Schaub? What do we do with Leinart? Your thoughts.

how much can team practice?
don’t they have to take time off during the bye week under the new system after the lockout?
They might have to just do some catch and toss without pads in somebody's backyard...
I dont’ know, but Matt #2 needs the work so they’ve got to figure out a way to get it done.
not just two weeks
I heard since Schaub had been pretty banged up the last couple of weeks lienart had been practicing with the first stringers the last month.

I've had this injury
My senior year of high school I had this exact injury, and I played the rest of the game. It really isn’t that painful… I thought i had just sprained my ankle… Let’s hope it’s not, but
In Lineart we must trust.
by KentuckyTexan on Nov 14, 2011 7:03 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
A little more info please...
If you played QB do you think you could have come back if you were injured at this point in the season to play a game or two before the playoffs? Or did it just get worse? If it doesn’t hurt that much, I think he should suit up as long as there is no huge risk of it getting worse. That’s another question, what is the end game max injury with this type of injury? How much worse CAN it get?
I tried to practice on it for a week, and it hurt like hell to drop back, but I think with the pain killers they administer in the NFL I could have played. It really depends how bad it is on if it can get worse. I wouldn’t play him these next 2 or 3 weeks.

im listening to the Gary Kubiak show..
and he’s not saying Matt is done for the year. let’s not get ahead of ourselves. they said Kevin Walter had a broken shoulder, and they also said that Andre Johnson was gonna be done for the season. they were wrong on both counts.. hopefully they will be wrong again.

AT BEST he will return for our (hopefully) playoff game.

i have a feeling we coast into the playoffs
going 3-3. Schaub comes back and throws 94 TDs and 1 pick in our epic march to our claim of the Lombardi in the playoffs.
Valid Point
Schefter’s rarely wrong, but we don’t know anything for sure just yet.
Still, I think the fact that they’re openly talking about flying him around the country for additional opinions means that they sure as hell didn’t like what their doctors said.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
He said he didn't know if Schaub was out for the season or not

Adam Schefter is pretty reliable
But how does Schaub play an entire half on a season-ending injury, attempting 3 passes along the way? Even if it got progressively worse while he played, the initial pain should have been enough to at least get the trainers to look at it and conclude something wrong.*

i can’t believe thats the season though, leinart might not be ideal but the core of the team these days is no longer schaub’s ability to throw for 450 yards a game. Its the new vaunted Texans D and tate and foster and the O-line. It hurts, but teams have had great postseason runs on less. Hell, maybe leinart is a stud after studying on the sidelines for so long, he’d look ok in an UGG boots commercial…

~Muhammad Ali
Its ok, I think
With the effectiveness of the running game, most our big passing plays have been easy throws to wide open receivers on bootlegs or arian laughing his way into the end zone. We’re comfortable with Schaub, but he still makes his dumb decisions with the ball, and lately its looked like any competent qb could run the texans offense. Its easy when foster can score on any play and tate is good for 2nd and long 1st downs. I really don’t think were going to be as bad as 3-3, I think we could still win out but realistically 4-2 at the worse.
This is why you invest in your defense and offensive line.
No offense intended to Schaub, but Leinart can hand the ball off and underthrow deep balls, too. Not to mention, shouldn’t our play-action passing game theoretically become more potent now? I wish we had a different type of back-up QB, as I’m not keen on check-down Leinart, but he’ll guide the ship just fine. Still an 11-12 win team, in my opinion.

Other reasons not to panic:
1) He’s not coming into a tightly contested game in the third-quarter. He’s going to get two full weeks to prepare, including a full week of practice getting reps with the other starters. This is very important.
2) Andre and Casey will be back.
3) We’ll still be hosting a playoff game. If Schaub’s out for the season, better to have that happen now than in week 15 or so. It gives Leinart a chance to get into a rhythm leading up to the playoffs.

Yeah...
But the pretty W’s are the best…We’ve had a few of those this year :D Gonna miss them if Leinart doesn’t step in and take care of business.
I enjoy venting like the rest of you do,
but I have confidence in Leinart.
We have an easy schedule, an elite defense, and an elite running game (not to mention our offensive line). PLUS, we get AJ back for Jacksonville, and hopefully from then on out.
The worst we could do is 10-6. Not a chance in hell the BESFs catch us.
"Hakeem couldn't kick your ass cuz you were too

Sorry to hear that
I’m a Bears fan and just heard this on ESPN. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully Matt Leinart can step up. The AFC is winnable this year the Ravens play down to their opponents, the Patriots can’t stop a good offense, and the Steelers have a suspect O-Line. The AFC is winnable. Good luck.
Hopefully the Texans can still be referred to as having a "good offense"....
As good as Foster and Tate are, you can’t do shit if they’re sitting on the run. You HAVE to pass the ball to keep them honest. The good thing is they’re already worried about the running game with this team, so maybe that will open things up with Matt #2…he’s going to have to earn their respect and do it by burning their asses.
LOL.
Matt Leinart versus the following defenses now:
W12, Jaguars; #4 Ranked Defense, #5 Ranked Pass Defense, #14 Ranked Rush Defense
W13, Falcons; #14 Ranked Defense, #23 Ranked Pass Defense, #3 Ranked Rush Defense
W14, Bengals; #5 Ranked Defense, #10 Ranked Pass Defense, #2 Ranked Rush Defense
W15, Panthers; #20 Ranked Defense, #14 Ranked Pass Defense, #28 Ranked Rush Defense
W16, Colts; #29 Ranked Defense, #21 Ranked Pass Defense, #31 Ranked Rush Defense
W17, Titans; #15 Ranked Defense, #15 Ranked Pass Defense, #22 Ranked Rush Defense
I’m only seeing 2 even DECENT offensive productions from here on out for the Texans, Panthers and Colts. And even then, only one of those is probably going to be a win.
Numbers don’t lie. Have fun going 1-5 to finish the season, you guys.

Nice job...
i’m sure you’re enjoying this, someone getting hurt to give your team a better chance at victory is all you have. Don’t worry, Kubiak is the best QB coach in the league, he’ll have Matt #2 prepared and this team won’t go down easily to anyone. Atlanta and the Bengals defenses are overrated against the rush. Namely because they haven’t played THIS team to fuck up their stats. Just wait..

Read that link to Lisfranc injuries
Sounds and looks super painful. The article said something about once it happens theres always a high likely hood it could happen again. Wonder if this will be a career-altering injury for schaub.
i dont think we have to worry about it happening again. He's not a basketball player.
He just needs to get back healty
I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.
~Muhammad Ali
Then it's probably not the injury Matt #1 sustained...
He played an entire half on it…and he didn’t seem to think it was that bad afterwards either….so…maybe we’ve dodged a bullet.
Let's keep in mind that Dominique Barber had to be carted off the field after having a lisfranc injury.
Either Schaub is a tough-ass mofo (which is possible, considering he had his throwing arm dislocated and came back into the game) or it isn’t as serious as Barber’s was.
yeah...
My thoughts as well Karsh. And there’s been no real confirmation that’s actually Lisfranc anyway.
It happened to Dwight Freeney a few years back.
You may have noticed, he’s fine now.

And those other injuries
were freak incidents either involving that cheapshotting Jared Allen or Fatshit Haynesworth, both of which hit schaubby after throws and extremely violent

Jan 8th
is when we need Teh Schaub back. Between now and then, we got:
Bye (yipee)
Shaguars (TJ Yates could get us a win there)
Falcons (tough one)
Bengals (also tough one)
Panthers (stop the rookie, and it’ll be easy)
Colts (bah!)
Dirtbags (might be more of a challenge)
Either way, even with no Schaubenfreude, we should finish with 11 or more wins and the division title.
Besides, it’s not like Leinart can’t play. He thought he was God’s gift to the position. History has cured him of that ill. As long as he doesn’t try to win the MVP award, we’ll be fine.
Not to mention getting Dre and Manning back. Even with no Schaub, I put us at 11-5.
Tennessee should be playing Locker by then
They still have some tough games— @Falcons, Buccaneers, @Bills, Saints, and Jaguars. I think they’ll have packed up already and will be playing all their young guys by then. I think they may have only two wins left in them…tops.

This is definitely not a gimmie schedule without Schaub: Let's not kid ourselves...
@Jaguars-barely beat the Jaguars with him the first time you guys played them
Falcons-definitely have a good enough offense to make you guys have to pass the ball
@Bengals-very good D that just gave the Steelers a run for their money
Panthers-Eh
@Colts-Eh
Titans-the question mark game……which Titans team shows up…
I do believe you can possibly make it to 3-3 with those games but it’s definitely doable to only get two and miss out with those games….

The Texans = Al Bundy of the NFL
Referring mostly to the poker game episode where Al was on a extremely lucky streak, but as soon as he thought he really is lucky everything falls apart.
WIth that aside, I’m a bit excited to see what Leinart has to offer. Everyone else stepped up when we had injuries to signifcant players, it is his turn now.
Yep...
I’m confident in Kubiak…he’ll create game plans to suit Leinarts skill set…he has two weeks to get this team ready and I think they’ll be able to do it. Let me predict Kubiak’s game plan….
Screen Pass to Arian…run, run, run run run, 8 yard toss to OD, run run run run run, 12 yard slant to Andre, run run run run run,…run run run run run…screen pass to Arian…run run run run run run run run run run run, end of the game. Texans win 3-0. :D
So would you say it's time for the Texans fans to...break open each others heads, and feast on the goo inside?
Yes I would, Kent.
by JBal on Nov 14, 2011 6:04 PM CST via mobile reply actions
please calm down....
once again not for sure he has that injury and Gary Kubiak kept Andre Johnson out a week more than normal Coaches would. Kubiak may not be the best but he is smart when he has playoff’s in mind apperently….He is a good injury preventor and obviously it has been seen with Arian Foster
All I want to do is FAAAARRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMM!!!....and COok.
yes, the overreaction is plentiful. Remember, this is the NFL, where you can't predict what will happen from week to week.
Will Matt Leinart perform well in Schaub’s absence? Maybe. Rosenfels was ok, all Rosencopters aside. I never would have predicted at this point the Texans would be sitting here atop the AFC, with the league’s #1 defense, on the way to having TWO 1000 yard rushers, undefeated in the division, and all WITHOUT Mario Williams or Andre Johnson! Plus #80’s going to be back after the bye. The net gain he brings may offset the dropoff to Leinart completely.
Schaub, though I’m a fan, is still the THIRD best player on our offense, after Johnson and Foster, and you could make an argument for a few others. The Texans have survived the loss of their best offensive player, there’s a good chance they can survive losing their third best.
Also, let’s not write off Leinart just yet until we’ve at least seen him suck. He was ok in the preseason, and that was with 2’s. He may be fine with better weapons.
/convinced myself, rant over
Third best, but most important.
I’m not certain we can survive losing him unless Kubiak has worked some real magic with Leinart.
It definitely will cause opponents to key in on the run
and will make the play-action less effective, no matter what anyone says to the contrary. Still, we’ll see when we see and not before. Leinart may still be ok. I anticipate him sucking, but there’s a laundry list of things I’ve been wrong about cited above.
I think we can still win the division.
I doubt we can win the playoffs. Hopefully Leinart will surprise us/Schaub is just kidding.
I'm with you. Would be extremely disappointed if we couldn't at least win the division at this point.
Playoff wins are going to be a lot harder to come by. Maybe Schaub’ll be back for the playoffs though. If not, what the hell, they’re gritty. They’ll keep battling
hahahaha...
“Schaub is just kidding.” ….I have a good feeling about this, I think Schaub will be back. Might be wrong, but I’m allowed to have a good feeling aren’t I?

Alfred Pennyworth: You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them and hammered them to the point of desperation, and in their desperation, they turned to a man they didn’t fully understand.
Bruce Wayne: Criminals aren’t complicated, Alfred. We just need to figure out what he’s after.
Alfred Pennyworth: With respect, Master Wayne, perhaps this is a man that you don’t fully understand either. A long time ago, I was in Burma. My friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never met anyone who had traded with him. One day I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing them away.
Bruce Wayne: So why steal them?
Alfred Pennyworth: Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

“Your time’s going to come, and you’ve got to be accountable for when that opportunity comes," Leinart said. "They know that I work hard and I study hard and I’m prepared very well. We’ll going to take this and go game-by-game and I don’t think much is going to change."
I like this. he is saying the right things and if he doesn't get his shit together
i think yates would step in and play good enough to not be a liability. the locker room is a lot stronger than its ever been and i think they will support leinart and strengthen his confidence to go out and perform well.

You know...
The Packers also had a ton of injuries last season, too. Sometimes, you need adversity to grow, to challenge yourself to find your true ability. I believe Leinart is servicable, and have always said I like Schaub but don’t trust him in pressure situations. Leinart on the other hand? I haven’t seen him to know if I can or not.
Have faith. Nobody thought our defense would be nearly as solid as it’s been. It was more than just coaching, remember? Look where the defense is now.
I believe in this team this season. They’ve proven they can overcome significant losses. Time for the Leinart to Johnson jokes…

good point about the Packers.
It ain’t over till it’s over, to lazily throw out an overused cliche
When I first read that headline....
my first reaction was “FUCK!” But after I settled down some, I realized we have the two top running backs in the league, the #1 defense in the league, he isn’t being asked to carry this team on his shoulders or win in a shoot out. All he’ll need to do is make sure he doesn’t fumble the handoffs and then get out of the way of our playmakers. And I don’t think we need to worry about it making us one dimensional…..I think Leinart can do just enough to keep defenses honest and then it comes back to pick your poison. AND, AJ will be back after the bye.
Just my $.02

Hes gotta be
better than Flacco in crunch situations minus the Steelers game. Hell Leinart did decent his first few games then the weight of leading the entire team with no run game or defense crushed him. Here, hes got all the factors to make him succeed for a long time. And honestly, id like to see Leinart not only succeed but definately push for a starting spot. Its his time, hes got the tools and isnt getting too old. Ripe age to rape defenses who dont expect it…

I think we will have a lot of plays to move around Andre and get him the ball so he can create yards on his feet.
Plus it’s all about pounding the ball. We won’t have problem beating teams like Jacksonville or Indy. It’s the games where we fall behind and are forced to throw the ball.

Hey Texan Fans
Unfortunate what has happened, but do not give up on the season, youre still the front runner for the division, and you have the best running attack in the league, not to mention an improving defense

No
If anything is effected it will be chemistry with the starting WR’s. It’ll take a little getting used to the timing and delivery of a lefty.

If the team does their job right
Matt 2 will only have to throw 15 times per game. This is a perfect situation for a former stand out to prove he is worth a damn. With AJ back we are still worlds better than anyone in our division. I still think we are in great shape. Maybe not talking superbowl but def. playoffs and who knows by that time. Heads up folks! Not the end of the world YET.
Exactly
We don’t want him to be forced to win games with his arm, at least not right away.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
just for the record
this now makes kubiak ‘fire-proof’.
I think the Kubiak - Wade combo
has done great so far. No reason to fire kubes.
I also think there's still no excuse to not win the division.
We’ve won with minimal passing. The downgrade in Leinart should hopefully be mostly offset by the return of Andre so that it’s a wash.
Playoffs are another story.
Considering the rest of the division's QB situations
You are correct about no excuses.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
Leinhart has two weeks to get reps w the 1s
And teh Schaub only threw 15 times against the Bucs. Surely Leinhart can be successful w half the throws (ie Tebowing) and handing the ball to Barian Fostate. Oh yeah! We get Dre back!
by HabitualHoustonFan on Nov 14, 2011 6:49 PM CST via iPhone app reply actions
Not entirely 2 weeks
Most of the players will get several days off this week to rest and heal up. I suspect he’ll be throwing to Andre a lot, since AJ already said he’s staying put to work out. That’s a plus. Let Dre and Leinart work on some chemistry by themselves for a few days.

If there's a silver lining,
it’s that Kubiak is legendary for building up quarterbacks. Leinart’s had two years under his tutelage without the pressure of playing in a game.
The guy had ability. He looked good in college and his maturity level and technique couldn’t cut it in the NFL.
If anyone could take what he had and turn it into something great, it’s Kubiak.

I’m sure I’m opening a can of worms here but I have to ask. What about the possibility of using Yates?
No way.
Let’s see what Leinart can do first. He’s had two years to learn the system.
Rookie 1st rounder QBs struggle, I wouldn’t want to throw a 5th rounder into the fire.
Crazy talk
Last time I checked he doesn’t have a Heisman Trophy, national championship, and starting NFL experience. He might be a good project for a few years down the road but Leinart is our best chance to win, hands down.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
yeah.
But how many of us predicted (with a lot of joy) that these Texans would go 11-5 and make the Playoffs. I feel like this we were getting out of control with these hopes of 13-3 1st place AFC yada yada yada. I think we will make the Playoffs and be a dangerous team once we are there. Not to mention that the texans are built to win in years to come. This is not a Win or Re-build season. Lets pick our heads up and be excited to see what this team can keep doing!!!
Where are all the Schaub haters?
There’s got to be at least 50% of this fan base that is thrilled that Leinart will be getting a chance. I’m not one of them. I just keep thinking – “we could still have Dan Orlovsky!”
Gotta wreck a man....
that’s man enough to stand up and be counted for his convictions.
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
I've had my issues with Schaub
lack of accuracy at times
lack of mobility
bad reads and bad decisions
but he does manage the game as good as anyone “needs” to.
I REALLY wish we could have seen Leinart in the last game last season when it didn’t matter, or a few 4th quarters this year before we just saddle the guy up like this. I have confidence in Kubiak though, and I still think there has to be something in a guy who made some immature decisions in his past but played way big in pressure games (two national championship games). I have hopes that he comes out and just delivers in a way that makes everyone realize this team was built to win….finally. I also hope Schaub heals up and returns, but I would not mind a QB controversy at this point.
hell ya.
neither would I. I think that would be a great problem to have. Considering this team is geared to win, and our schedule is fairly easy the rest of the way through, there is nothing wrong with seeing what Leinart has to give us…and if he pleasantly surprises, that’s an awesome problem to have.
It's a love/hate thing with Schaub
He’s great when he’s making accurate passes and smart throws. I have loads of confidence that he will remain a top 10 QB. It’s when he’s overthrowing by 5 yards and throwing into triple coverage causing INTs that makes me hate him.
Here's the thing
I’m a WELL documented Schaub-alternative guy, and I must say: I am DEVASTATED. that shows u how much Schaub began to change my mind these past few weeks. BUT, w/ that said, I am less concerned w/ Leinart and more concerned w/ Eric Winston at RT.
Considering Leinart is a lefty, Winston’s weakness is pass blocking, and he will be protecting Leinart. Is there a possibility to switch Duane and Eric and not lose a step? I doubt it’s even a consideration, but I’m a lil scared of that idea to be honest.
As far as Leinart, he’s quite serviceable. He’s a bit more nimble on his feet, he doesn’t have the experience like Schaub, but, considering that Leinart is well-liked by the coaching staff, and I’ve come to trust Kubiak…I’m cautiously excited about seeing Leinart. And considering the best QB’s in this league have a beautiful head of hair, and are pretty boys w/ some sex appeal, maybe Leinart is the Brady to Schaub’s Bledsoe!?! God Willing.

They'll probably change up the O-line and move them around
On your typical pass play, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but on play action and QB boot, he’ll be running to the opposite side. It will definitely be an adjustment.
Swat and swim, dip and rip, twist and spin; just do whacha gotta do to light up that QB.
No way they change up the O-line
And mess up the run blocking chemistry they’ve built? No way. If anything they’ll use extra RB/TE protection
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
Agreed to a point.
I would rather have Leinart than ANY other quarterback in the history of the Texans. Especially the Carr/wrek. I believe this team has been successful because of its offensive line, run game, and potentially record-setting vaslty improved entire defensive unit. I’m bummed but it could be A LOT worse!!!
no,
but he’s a far better run blocker than pass blocker. Duane Brown is an elite pass blocker, which is a huge reason why Schaub is not getting sacked this much this season. That responsibility is now on Winston. I’m hoping he pulls through
I think they will just game plan around it.
Schaub rolled or bootlegged left a lot and threw right-handed. Why can’t they just do the opposite with Leinart? Then Brown will be providing that side’s protection.
I think they might be flipping Winston and Brown, or the whole line for that matter.
Swat and swim, dip and rip, twist and spin; just do whacha gotta do to light up that QB.
That would be putting 4 players into different positions.
You really think that would be the best way to go about protecting Matt#2?
If Leinart is left-handed, then the plays are essentially mirrored.
It’s the same position, same play, just moving in the opposite direction.
Swat and swim, dip and rip, twist and spin; just do whacha gotta do to light up that QB.
I will agree to disagree with you - politely.
I mean good comment but to me that would be like asking a right-handed person to start writing left-handed.
I played guard in HS and college
and we did this all the time. Defenses do it, too. Strong side and weak side.
Not as easy to do in the NFL of course, but with a lil’ tinkering…
Swat and swim, dip and rip, twist and spin; just do whacha gotta do to light up that QB.
I don't think they need to flip anyone.
I mean, they’d then be asking Brown and Winston to do the opposite of what they normally do. Leinart being a lefty shouldn’t affect either one of them at all.
I think the main problem is protecting the blind side
which is now on the other side of the line so some teams may put their best pass rusher on that side instead of the other
opposing defenses will be coming from that edge, sending everything they got.
Swat and swim, dip and rip, twist and spin; just do whacha gotta do to light up that QB.
I'm not good at x;s and o's
but I think it’s less about ability of the linemen to play mirrored positions and more about the linemen knowing what the guy next to them is going to do.
I was with you until that last sentence...ok, 2nd to last sentence...
Pretty boys with sex appeal? …………………………………………………………….
haha
Brady, Rodgers, Cam Newton, Christian Ponder, Romo (to some extent), Roethlisberger(to some degree). lol. hey….it’s a trend. if u have a good looking QB, ur probably gonna be pretty good. hahah.
I think a lot of the outcome of this season rests on Kubiak.
If I remember correctly Leinart did well in the preseason as long as Kubes kept his responsibilities on the rather-simple side. It was only when he started asking too much of Leinart that his play suffered. We have plenty of other assets on this team so lets keep the game plan simple, relay on the 3-headed monster and the newly-dominant defense and let’s keep on rock-and-rollin!
Agreed. Kubes play calling this year has been superb
Look at the Texans’ opening drives this season. I’m very optimistic that he’ll work with Leinart’s strengths and tweak some plays here or there for his benefit.
Swat and swim, dip and rip, twist and spin; just do whacha gotta do to light up that QB.
I dont think Schaub is not done for the yr.
I think there’s way more evaluation still needed to be done, Kubiak said they will consult multiple specialists & with the bye week coming up I think it favors the situation, also given the circumstances & the position we’re in I believe the training staff will let him play even if he’s not 100% & will not hold him out like they did with Andre, I believe schaub will be back before the end of the season, if he was able to play a whole half on that injury I feel like its not season ending, let’s not jump the gun here & say he’s out for the season, as far as I’ve heard from the press conference, he’s definitely out for the jags game & after that its day to day.
they say the injury is 6 weeks..
theres still 7 more weeks of regular season (8 untill playoffs)

6-12 weeks
6 being the minimum without surgery
I think I’d rather have a fully healthy Leinart hungry to prove something than a soft footed Schaub who can’t escape the rush and can’t put full weight on his foot for passing.

but hopefully your right.

Shaub could / should / WILL? be back for the playoffs
From what I see if this injury holds true, the shortway to a comeback is 6 weeks.. there are still 8 weeks from time of injury to the start of the first playoff game (9 weeks if we manage to get a #1 or #2 seed still)
We shoud still be able to make the playoffs with Matt #2.. We happen to get Andre back at the same time, which takes some of the downgrade away. And he went 7-10 with Arizona, with a bad D, bad running game, bad coaching and bad O-line. Now hes going to be starting for a team with a really good D (#1!) really good running (#2) really good O-line ( for sure top 5) and really good coaching. He can and should / WILL be better then he was in Arizona and WILL get us to the playoffs, and Shaub has a good chance of being back for those playoffs from my calculations
If he doesn't require surgery, he could be back.
From what i’ve read. If he does need a surgery, he’s done
I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.

while probably true..
from what Ive read its 6 weeks for no surgery, 6-12 with surgery.. Of course the odds would be MUCH more favorable with no surgery, but theres still a glimmer of hope either way

Schaub's success has been largely credited to the play action.
Texans receivers and TEs are so wide open, he can’t help but complete the ball. I think Leinart will be alright. If they stack the box, I think Kubes will make them pay (funny, never thought I’d say those words a year ago…)

This sucks for you guys
I was looking forward to a Texans/Steelers rematch in the AFC Championship game. I still think you make the playoffs (your division is a joke) but I don’t think you get a 1st round bye. I could see you winning a home playoff game but I think your Super Bowl chances are severly hurt. Hope Schaubb recovers quick and as I said on Cincy Jungle yesterday about Leon Hall “I hate to see any player get hurt, unless its Ray Lewis”. Hopefully Lienart plays well enough to not lose you games. Good luck on the rest of the season

You're 6-3, titans are 5-4...
you have the head to head win = 1.5 ahead
Texans are 7-3
so more like 2.5

Looking at it, A lot of schaubs completions this year have been wide open throws.
I think if Leinhart doesnt force it to much and turn the ball over he is going to get some very easy throws. The reason the high round drafted QB’s do so porly is because they go to the worst teams. This guy is coming onto one of the most dangerous O’s in football. This is totally different from whats happening in Tenn. Jax and Ind. Their Teams are bad. WE have a GREAT Team that can make this happen. He will have to shake some rust off against Jax but if we pull that off then i think he will role on the season with foster/AJ making it easy for him.
I have confidence in Lienart
could you imagine He takes of to the AFC championship game (or superbowl /longshot I know) and get a second round pick for him! which we could package up and get an Alshon Jeffery or Justin Blackmon. Lienart can succeed in this offense only question is will he allow himself to do so. 5-1 4-2 is very very possible IMO.
Its great that they have 2 weeks to prepair
Sucks donkey Balls that we have to wait and ponder for 2 weeks what life without Schaub will be like.

i'm gonna say that we go 3-3.
i’m basing this on the fact that we are a “.500” team. the besf’s would have to go 5 – 2 to tie our 10-6 record and i’ll say one of their wins comes against us. so at 6 – 2 do you think they can win 4 out of 6 with this schedule:
11 Sun, Nov 20 at Atlanta 4:15 PM
12 Sun, Nov 27 Tampa Bay 1:00 PM
13 Sun, Dec 4 at Buffalo 1:00 PM

15 Sun, Dec 18 at Indianapolis 1:00 PM
16 Sat, Dec 24 Jacksonville 1:00 PM
17 Sun, Jan 1 at Houston (assume they win)
i dont see it happening.

Bucs fan here
Totally bummed to hear about Schaub’s injury. I’m rooting for you guys to keep the momentum and preventing the Steelers and Patriots from doing anything in the playoffs. We’ll do our part to try to beat the Jags and the Oilers/Titans but with the way we’re playing no promises.
Anyway, condolences. Go Leinart!
Am I going MAD, or did the word "think" escape your lips?
Wow...
Loving the cool fans coming here to offer condolences! Even a RAIDERS FAN! Holy crap! Didn’t see that one coming :D Colts, Bucs, Steelers, Raiders, Representing with class! Nice, thanks guys, but nobody died, we don’t even know the full extent of Matt’s injuries. And don’t forget about Kubiak, he’s a stud at developing QB’s. I think we’ll be fine no matter the outcome. Old reliable will always be the best, but Matt #2 should suffice to keep us rolling.
Colts fan here. Damn, that shit sucks, but hopefully your coaches
don’t follow the lead of the Colts coaches who pretend our long haired shaggy dog is Manning in drag.
Rather they should follow what the Broncos coaches are doing with Tebow and ACTUALLY tailoring their offense to match his “unique” set of skills
Dear Diary, Kevin is so hot. Today he was raking the yard. God I wish he'd throw me into that pile of leaves.
I honestly think Leinart can make a lot of the throws that Schaub does.
We’ve been winning throwing 15-20 times a game, and Leinart can run the bootlegs and stuff ok. His playaction won’t be as good as Schaub, who I consider second only to Manning in that, but having two weeks to get him ready is at least helpful.

How the fuck did he play the second half then?
It’s like everything possible has transpired to derail this year. This was the last guy we could afford to lose.
Why the Texans? Just why?
/lets go more shock and anger.
Well Ready or not Leinart you’re up.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Why So Down, Guys?..
I have been as critical as anyone, about Kubiak, Smith, and a lot of things, in general, but this year is different, guys.. The defense is dominant.. The offensive line is dominant, and so is the running game.. AJ is coming back, which means that teams won’t dare to load the box, I don’t care who the QB is.. And the schedule is, dare I say, creampuff.. I watched Earl Morral lead an undefeated Dolphins team to the playoffs.. I watched Jeff Hostettler win a SB with a dominant defense and running game.. And I watched Kurt Warner go from the arena league, to NFL MVP.. This team will go at least 4-2 down the stretch, if not undefeated, and will go to the AFC Championship game.. The attitude has changed, and I bought in, and I’m not cashing out..
"Cause I know that the hypnotized never lie".. Pete Townshend..
Amen Sister
Or brother…“roo” is pretty gender neutral. I’m on your bandwagon. Sucks to see Matt going down, but this team has a swagger that it hasn’t had before. With that said, our passing attack has to be somewhat effective to keep the chains moving and the defense from stacking against the run. And more importantly we have to maintain ball control to keep the Defense fresh. SO, this is going to be challenging, but I dare say the Texans are up to the task. In Kubiak we trust. YES I SAID IT. Kubiak is the only guy that can pull us out of this mess. Matt #2 is going to have to have Kubiak tailor make this offense to suit him…unless Matt #2 has developed to a point that we haven’t been privy to…we’ll see.
Certainly Male..
I’m sure there are a few, but I don’t know too many females who know who Jeff Hostettler is, or that go around quoting Pete Townshend.. It would be love at first sight, tho.. lol
"Cause I know that the hypnotized never lie".. Pete Townshend..
Also.....
I noticed in some of the articles that have been linked here, the attitude in the locker room is completely different than in years past. Instead of using coach speak for “We’re fucked and just don’t want ya’ll to think we know that,” they are using player speak for “We’re a team dammit and we intend to keep winning, this shit is FUN!”
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
That's What I'm Saying..
That’s my point, entirely, knight.. You can see these guys know they’re good, and they’re not taking anything for granted.. And this team wins with defense.. They take nothing for granted, and play till the whistle.. You never see a Texan player standing around while a teammate makes a tackle.. They fly to the ball, man.. And they tackle so much better than they used to, not to mention cover.. This is fun to watch, and I cannot wait to see the big lefty do his thing.. Like Commander Cody, get it done!..
"Cause I know that the hypnotized never lie".. Pete Townshend..
I have been noticing the "don't stop to the whistle attitude on the whole team lately.
Both offense and defense. About the only time I see anyone standing around is an offensive lineman on a pass play after he has already pancaked his assignment as well as the guy on each side of him and he can’t run down field w/out being flagged for “ineligible receiver down field” I think is the penalty.

A few questions from an Eagles fan.
Obviously I havent watched very many Texans games, but in the wake of news I hav a few questions.
1: Let’s get the obvious question out of the way. How do you feel with Leinart startin? I havent seen much of him, how did he look in the preseason?
2: Thank god for Arian Foster, he saved me from a few games this year in fantasy football =P Because of Leinart startin should you expect to see an increase workload in Foster? Or would Tate come in more frequently to spell Foster?
3: When Andre got injured… 6 weeks ago was it, did anyone of your receivers step up? Its always sad to see a great player miss an extended amount of time.
4: How has Wade Philips change the defense? Obviously besides the 3-4. Your secondary was pretty bad last year if I remember correctly. How has he remedied the situation?
5: How have your rookies looked?
6: What are the needs on your team? Any potential people your eyein in the upcomin draft?
Thanks in advance if you guys answer my questions. Just curious about a team I had my eye on =P

Sure, Eagles fan..
1. I was one of the few people who actually wanted Leinart out of USC.. He went 10th (The Texans had the #1 overall pick), and using the top pick, overall for Leinart seemed to be a reach.. I don’t know if trading back for Leinart was ever considered, but I thought the guy was the surest pick in the draft.. He was a stud at USC.. Good footwork, pocket presense, and accuracy.. His arm strength was the only question mark, IMO..
2. I certainly expect more work for both.. Foster seems to get about 60% of the snaps.. I, personally, would like to see both out there, with Foster put in motion from the FB/HB/flanker position.. He’s a unique duel threat, and the Texans should use him as such..
3. Walter has stepped up, as has Jacoby Jones.. The biggest boost came from how well the TEs have played, both catching the football, and blocking for the running game..
4. Coaching is everything.. Not only is everybody in the correct place, but guys are actually learning how to tackle with authority.. The secondary has been stabilized by the domino effect, basically.. Signing Jonathan Joseph has allowed everyone to slide back one position.. And don’t underestimate the boost Quintin Demps has given this team..
5. JJ Watt and Brooks Reed have been tremendous.. The kid from Miami (CB) that we traded back into the 2nd round for, hasn’t seen any action (his name slips my stoned mind), so that hasn’t been great, but it’s early, yet.. 2 starter quality players from one draft is pretty stout..
6. The Texans should look for another wide out, NT, interior Oline, S, and QB… In that order..
"Cause I know that the hypnotized never lie".. Pete Townshend..
Yes.. Thank you!..
"Cause I know that the hypnotized never lie".. Pete Townshend..
Thanks for the inquiry and stopping by
1. I really wanted to see Leinart in games with the 1’s, but he looked really solid with them in practice when Schaub was resting. He looked iffy with the 2’s/3’s in pre-season but had no protection. With the QB coaches and system we have, I feel like Leinart can do what Schaub has been doing the last four games…handing off 45 times and passing 15 per game to open receivers on bootlegs and play action. Leinart actually looks more accurate and stronger armed than Schaub in practice.
2. The rotations of Foster/Tate/Ward look to be consistent now to keep them fresh, I see no changes there.
3. With ‘Dre out, there’s really nobody in the league who can replace him besides maybe Megatron (Calvin Johnson). Jacoby Jones has had some flashes of playing better, and Dreessen (TE) has handled some deep passes well for TDs. It’s really taken the whole WR/TE crew to try and fill Johnson’s absence and they are barely doing it to be honest. Thankfully the running game is pulling the sled.
4. The front seven have transformed into an amazing pass rush that takes pressure off the secondary. Drafting Watt and Reed, and getting Ryans and Barwin back from injury has given Wade the tools to really get after the QB and stop the run. The FA pickup of Johnathan Joseph and Danieal Manning really brought the veteran talent to the secondary, and Kareem Jackson is actually developing into a good CB finally. Glover Quinn, Troy Nolan and Will Demps are playing big at Safety with D. Manning out for a few games.
5. Watt (1st round) and Reed (2nd round) are both playing like 1st overall picks with consistent performances. The others are still “in development” and T.J. Yates (QB) was just elevated to 2nd in depth.
6. WR depth is the easy target for us in next year’s draft, but the latest injury to Schaub and uncertainty of Leinart or T.J. Yates may change this to QB pretty quick. No lists forming up just yet. It’s just way too early to know yet on draft and FA needs. Luckily we have depth and a team unity that is working great as the “Next Man Up” train keeps rolling.
The Defense is getting takeaways and giving the offense great field position
Besides the saying that Defense wins championships, the other one is the team with the best takeaway differential wins. Proven over and over again. The defense is making plays it didn’t last year. Leinart just needs to be (I hate to say it) a game manager. Limit the turnovers and the offense should be fine.
Dear Diary, Kevin is so hot. Today he was raking the yard. God I wish he'd throw me into that pile of leaves.
Okay so I'm Doing some Research on Leinart
And I see the hot tub stuff, and glad to see he is hammering chicks. But someone care to explain this? Was he simulating how the BE-SF’s party or something?
what the heck?
I also heard he was banned from a GYM for hitting on Women who didn’t want him in AZ

So this is what I have picked up
And why it may be not so bad news. A lot of the pieces fell into place this morning when I caught a little of the morning show on 610 when they had a doc (can’t remember his name) come in to talk about the injury (if it is Lisfranc).
Some of us have questioned how Schaub kept playing until almost the end, and how an xray missed the fracture. A Lisfranc injury apparently involves two different injuries in the same place. The first is an injury to the tendon. The second is a fracture of the bones around that tendon. Apparently since the xray did not show anything of interest, there is a chance that there is no real fracture, or at least not a major one. The MRI would show the tendon damage, and the CT scan would help confirm the diagnosis. In a high grade Lisfranc injury, with both tearing of the tendon and fracture is when surgery and up to twelve weeks of recovery would be required. In such situations there is a lot of separation of the bones and the foot is too unstable.
In Schaub’s case, since the initial xray was negative, it is possible that there was not a significant fracture and therefore the foot may heel fine without surgery. Absolute best case (unlikely) is 4 weeks. Most likely is 6 weeks.
We have a lot of very good doctors in the medical center (and many outside of it), but the best in the country are not necessarily here, and maybe they are going to the best two or three foot doctors.

by Jonathan Fosburgh on Nov 15, 2011 8:26 AM CST reply actions
Synopsis
Best case: Low grade Lisfranc (~10% of cases, but possible considering he played through it, and the game X-ray was negative); ~6 weeks non-weight bearing (expected return 1st week of playoffs)
So best case scenario is that Leinart gets us to the playoffs, & Schaub can take it from there

Best case to me, is Leinart ends up being better than Shaub, we go deep into the playoffs and we trade Shaub to the ’Skins for high 2nd and 3rd round picks.

I like what Kubiak said about this situation. “We are a TEAM, Matt does not have to go out and win a game…THE TEAM DOES” in all of our Seven Wins this year so far, there has been NO ONE PLAYER who has carried this team alone.
The Defense plays as a Machine with a “meet ya at the Quarterback” mentality,
and the Offense has never been more well rounded than now.
I believe we can still go 13-3 AND BEYOND!!

BTW, LOVE your “All hat and no cattle..” Quote about the cowboys… LOL
I think Leinart is coming in to a very good offense and he probobly does pretty well...
Great line, 1 Great back, and one good one…. Andre(Nuff said)….. If the line gives him time I don’t think there will be much of a drop-off..
Kubiak will probobly run the ball a little more will shaub out and that will open up the passing game big time for leinart… (As you do already)
The only way he sucks is if he REALLY SUCKS..
I think he is pretty confident knowing he has a complete offense he is stepping into..Plus he has had ample time to mature…
