Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

BREAKING NEWS: Matt Schaub to IR, Texans Sign Kellen Clemens

Well, Texans fans, much like the news that the guy your girlfriend has been hanging out with all the time who she swears is "just a friend" is actually taking dirty liberties with her while you're at work, we now have confirmation that what we suspected regarding Matt Schaub all along is true.  He is banging your girlfriend.  Per your friendly four-letter network, your Houston Texans have officially put Matt Schaub on the IR.  To fill the void left by Schaub, the Texans have signed former Jet/Redskin Kellen Clemens to fill the roster spot.

Obviously, this isn't exactly a surprise.  Even if Schaub could somehow be healthy by the time the playoffs rolled around, he would be very rusty at exactly the time the team would need him to be sharp.  It sucks for Schaub, whom discerning readers might recall was a somewhat controversial pick-up when the Texans flipped first round picks and sent two second rounders to the Falcons to pick him up.  Now that he is at the helm of a team that is set to make a big run, he gets hurt.  As with the Mario Williams injury, it is a reminder of the cruelty of fate.

Star-divide

Spare a thought for Matt Leinart, though.  This is his chance to shine.  He showed a lot of maturity when he decided to stay with the Texans instead of chasing an offer to start with a weaker team.  And if accounts from his coaches and teammates are to be believed, his work habits are what you would expect from a guy who wants to succeed in professional sports.  If he can't be successful working in an offense that features studs at all the skill positions while being coached by the Quarterback Whisperer, he can't make it in this league.  Myself, I'm optimistic.  I think he'll do just fine, though probably not as good as Schaub would have done.  When the time comes, he'll have played well enough to catch the eye of some other team who will sign him for a good-sized contract.  Then he'll promptly return to his late-Cardinals form.

Anyway, this is what we have to deal with.  Please commiserate below.  Think this is just another example of how cruel fate has played with us yet again?  Fire away.  Think that Matty Light is going to be Steve Young to Matt Schaub's Joe Montana?  Let 'er rip.

My biggest concern with the effect of Hot Tub Matt

Is he is a lefty. Can Winston basically play the role of a left tackle? And how will the offense adjust to bootlegs to the opposite side?

I wish we could hire coaches without "having grown up in Houston" being a job requirement.

by DaGoaT on Nov 23, 2011 12:00 PM CST reply actions  

Yeah adjustments will have to be made.

I’m sure it’s been covered during this bye week and it will be interesting to see what little wrinkles the Texans add to the offense.

Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.

by Ethan Matz on Nov 23, 2011 12:03 PM CST up reply actions  

It really won't be any different for Winston unless teams start flopping the DE's

Some teams do that already, and many others will keep guys on the same side no matter what. In other words it’s not going to change who he’s going up against all that much.

The biggest difference might be in that they flip which side they run the bootlegs too. So there will be some adjustment there. Really it should be pretty minor.

I think the "blindside" part is over-played

It’s a little bit of chicken or the egg situation. Sure that’s the blindside, but more importantly it’s where teams best pass rushers are coming from (partly because it’s the blindside). A pass rusher from the front side pressuring the QB can be just as disruptive because if the QB can see him clearly he’s more likely to panic. It’s not like coming from the left makes you invisible to the QB either.

I'm so anxious to see the result on the field

I want to make him throw. I want to see how well he does. I’m confident enough in our run game and our defense that even if he can’t throw for shit, we will still win at least 4 games. And even if he’s not any good at throwing the ball around, as long as he just protects the ball… we still might sweep the remaining schedule.

Please keep in mind that Leinart in pre-season was running with the third string OL

as the 2’s were all injured and the 1’s were cycled out. Word has it Leinart has been solid in practice with the 1’s the last few weeks. Schaub sat a lot to recover so Leinart has taken quite a few reps the last few weeks.

Over / Under for Matty Light to get comfy?

4 series…

1st series – tightly scripted
2nd series – 1st series plays based on feedback from 1st series
3rd series – If we are in the lead… screens and runs
4th – After halftime adjustment, playbook opening (whether we are in the lead or not)

Winning isn't the only thing, scoring is the best.

by Shinzon on Nov 23, 2011 1:17 PM CST reply actions  

see they have no offense

and we have a good defense.

So if Matt puts together any kind of drive in the first quarter, we’ll see a lot of the three headed monster until half.

I think this definitely benefits him, and I see him coming out in the second half with a lead, but passing a little more. Then we shut it down in the fourth.

So I think he will be comfy at the end of the 3rd qtr.

HA!

Hadn’t thought about that. Plus, I’d get my nose tackle lust fulfilled.

A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

I hope that we can fulfill your nosetackle lust...

personally

I think you are mistaking love for a pity fuck. When I see a Lions fan I don’t laugh in his face about decades of failure, I tell him I hope they win something finally.

I wish we could hire coaches without "having grown up in Houston" being a job requirement.

Nah, a few folks took the time to highlight how badass our defense and running game are

and how they can win the AFC if they don’t blow their own dick off in any games.

Patience my ass, I am already getting butterflies.

Ready for Mike Clark’s La la land. 8-3…I mean, 1-0, just for today.

OT but I found this funny.

Media are all saying how much of a winner Tebow is that he already has X amount of 4th qtr comebacks in so few games played. No one bothers to mention had he not sucked for 55 minutes while the defense pours their hearts out to stay close in the game, he wouldn’t be in the situation so often.

Roger Staubach made a similar comment about his own career comeback record one time...

Not quite how you pronounce Chaminade. Some circles in Arkansas, maybe.

Because apparently he picked up the offense during the preseason with Washington

But hopefully the only field he plays on is the practice field
