Battle Red Radio: Dead Quarterbacks Society (9 P.M. CT)

JACKSONVILLE, FL - NOVEMBER 27:  Quarterback Matt Leinart #11 of the the Houston Texans looks to pass against the Jacksonville Jaguars November 27, 2011 at EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Florida. Leinart left the game after an injury and the Texans won 20 - 13. Photo by Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images)

We rode in sorrow, with strong hounds three,
Matt, Matt, and another Matt with no hair,
On a morning misty and mild and fair.
The mist-drops hung on the fragrant trees,
And in the blossoms hung a fellow named Roddy.
We rode in sadness despite the words of Charlie Sheen,
For our best were dead on Florida's green.

OK, so it probably isn't that dire. Still, your Houston Texans find their season in the hands of W.B. Yates and his untested cannon.

Join myself, MDC, and Chris of HoustonDiehards.com. We will break down all the fallout from the last few days, including a segment on "things we would rather do to ourselves than watch Jake Delhomme ruin our team." Other featured segments will include "at least we don't employ Blaine Gabbert," and "Let's make fun of Frank Bush."

If you'd like to get a question answered, there are two ways:

Star-divide

Option A: You could call in to the show! Our phone number is 661-244-9808. I'm not going to try to create a call-in segment anymore. I'll just work with the calls we have. The lines will open after the show starts, and as I see a caller, I'll take them in and let them lob their questions at us. Keep in mind that a) this is not a toll-free call for you and b) it may take 10-15 minutes to get to your call depending on call volume, long-winded responses, and technological constraints.

I should add: If you call, just give us one question. Your best question. Thanks.

Option B: Leave us a question in the comments. We'll try to hit on it in a special segment near the end of the show.

Here's a direct link to the show if the embed link below does not let you listen live. While you wait, you can catch up on last week's show, where audio drops became commonplace!

P.S.: This show will probably have cursing, and will probably not be suitable for younger audiences.

When we win the Superbowl with Yates do we have QB controversy?

If Yates is successful and that is probably a fifty-fifty proposition, because the Texans are a very good team.

I would think that the Matt that is at risk to be somewhere else next season is Matt Leinart. Matt Schaub is a proven commodity with this offense. If one of the new backups, either Delhomme or Clemens proves to be deft in this offense and Kubiak likes it, I can see Rick Smith making a decision to use Leinart as trade bait, because he is under contract through next season. Sure, they could get better picks for Schaub, but, whether he starts or becomes the backup (not really likely, about a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10) Kubiak has to want to keep him here. I think Schaub is also a company man and would not request a trade, but would stand by until his chance came to get back on the field.

I don’t know, we could win the super bowl without Yates doing anything super amazing, and then trade him instead

Yes, even before his injury, I was not starry-eyed about his play

Since his injury, he has been half a step slow. I think the Texans put an emphasis on finding his replacement in the draft and that guy competes with Sharpton.

Ton of injuries to the Texans...

Is this the fault of the lockout? A bad job by the strength and conditioning coach? Or just “one of those football things?”

The Falcons are a run the rock behind Turner and then utilize play action with Matt Ryan who is decent when the run game is clicking. Instead they want Matt Ryan to turn into Drew Brees and give him tons of weapons. That’s just not what they’re built to do. They want to fuck up though, I’m happy to watch them do it.

How is he against the run, because, first and foremost, I think that should be the role of the NT on this Texans D

Play against the pass is important, but with the pass rushers already here at the DE and LB positions, I would think the Texans are looking for stout run stopping ability here.
