Exactly. Schaub is 6'5" 250 lbs...he shouldn't try and make that guy miss, he should square up, lower his head, scream if he has to, and charge the line like he's fucking William Wallace with his ass on fire. It's football dammit.

Yeah, That saftey was only 6' 205, so Matt would have definately won that battle. Hey, Im 6'2" 220, I could have run him over as well!! If you think that matt Schaub has the explosiveness to run over a strong saftey you are delusional. A friend of mine who played running back for Sam Houston used to tell me he was not nearly as worried about Dlinemen or Line Backers, rather the "200 pound bullets flying at him from the defensive backfield" (safteys). Also, I take it you have played football, so tell me this: How is a guy 6'5" goig to get the leverage to run over a 6' strong saftey? Get on his knees??

He doesn't need explosiveness, he needs guts.

he might have made the wrong decision to string out the play, but no way he makes it into the endzone running. That is not his game. It also does not show he has any less guts because he didnt run.

EasTexAstro · « **Reply #505 on:** October 13, 2011, 09:23:46 am »

It would be nice if the Texans were able to play consistently after an early lead and not have to rely on Schaub to make a play with 7 seconds left on the clock.

In the hierarchy of decision-making on that play, taking on the run was not as bad as what he actually chose to do. Going for it and coming up short would have been a more honorable way to lose than lobbing a pass to a BD (JJ's culpability in this notwithstanding).

True, however it is on the coach for putting him into that situation. Call a quick hit play, if it is not there throw the dang ball away. Split second decision. If he has it all to do over, different result. Schaub running is not the way to score td's from the 5.

Jesus, we're not talking about calling a QB draw into a stacked line. We're talking about him being one on one with a safety at the two yard line. I agree that the call was fucked up. But at some point Schaub has to make a decision. If you can't rely on him to make a good one, what's the point? You might as well have Tony Romo.

Yes!

bad decision on his part, that we can agree on. I was yelling run at the tv while the play was developing. I re-watched several times and think there is no way he beats that safety to end zone.

Again Split second decision, one that I am sure he would like back. Has nothing to do with his manhood.

Right. He doesn't beat the safety to the end zone. But the safety would not have hit him head on. He was coming at an angle which means he's not going to stop Schaub cold. Hit him at the 2 and all Schaub has to do is fall forward with the ball extended. Schaub has no faith in his physicality.

If that was the case I would agree. Schaub was at the 9, saftey about two yards deep (at the time of the pump to try and freeze the saftey - which the saftey did not bite on). Saftey is much faster than Schaub. The would have met around the 5. He ain't pushing a guy stronger than he is 15 feet into the end zone. He fucked up not throwing the ball away...his descision not to run for it was actually wise.

Yesterday's 49ers vs. Lions game really highlights how inept the Texans have been organizationally. The Lions have rebounded from a 2-30 stretch over two years well into the Gary Kubiak era.

I'm not on any cliff here, but thankfully the addition of Wade Phillips and a couple competent secondary players has made it abundantly clear where the problem lies with this team. Am I confident that McNair will act decisively with this knowledge? No, I am not.

Meanwhile, the Rams gave up a sixth-rounder for Brandon Lloyd. Seems like the Texans might have wanted in on that action, but I guess they were hamstrung by jumping the gun on Mason.

The details are unclear, but my guess is that the team was not impeded by the Mason deal. The 7th round pick the Texans offered is conditional upon Mason making 33 catches. Mason is paid the veteran minimum. If the Texans wanted Lloyd and knew he was available, the team could have probably waived Mason, incurred no expense, and still landed Lloyd.

Depth I'll concede, but experience? The guy is old as balls, and the Texans have plenty of experience in the receiving corp with or without Andre and/or Mason. Don't bother rehashing radio talk platitudes for us.

Agree - the Mason deal was structured to have little downside for the Texans. The point that others were making was that the league's leading receiver from last season was acquired for a comparable price shortly thereafter.

Well he's making 500k less and his trade price was lower. I don't think it matters. Lloyd would have been nice, but if Andre can't get back in the next 2-3 weeks, this team is done regardless of who is lined up wide.

They should be favorites in every game from here on out, by more than a touchdown in most of 'em. Anything worse than 12-4 would be shocking. The AFC playoffs will have some pretty interesting matchups.

The one Bucs game I will miss this year and it's the Texans. Not sure if their 6-3 is legit but I can say for sure the Bucs' 4-4 is.

Legit in the fact it is the absolute worst record they could possibly have. They should be 8-1. That being said, Go Bucs!! No chance they win, though, as Santa brought one of my presents early last night (Bears W). I love it when the Iggles lose, especially when DeSean Jackson AND Mike Vick have crucial roles in the L.

The loss to the Saints seems to have woken up the defense (a little). Was it my imagination, or was Kareem Jackson conspicuous by his absence until garbage time on Sunday?

The loss to the Raiders seems to have focused the offense in the red zone. Schaub has run in two TDs in two weeks since.

Kubiak is still as dumb as fuck, and needs to be relieved of challenge decision-making at least, but the offensive and defensive coaches are seeing the same shit we are, and are working on it.

Kareem played virtually the entire game Sunday and delivered his best performance ever. This is relative, of course, but the reason you didn't notice him is that he wasn't continually being torched for long gains and abused into PI penalties like he usually is.

That's because Cleveland has no WRs.

Still not sure if keeping Kubiak was the right decision, but bringing in Wade has been gold so far.

And he can't pass when he wasn't. That's simply a bad passing offense. Really bad.

Added to that is the fact that Cleveland's WRs make Jacoby Jones look like an All Star.

Cribbs isn't horrible, but the whole offense (protection, receivers, backs, quarterback) isn't geared to a downfield passing game.

You don't have to tell me, chief, I'm happily watching the game from thousands of miles away. The internet package available for the NFL is so superior in every way to the internet package that the MLB offers that it's embarrassing. It's just another example of how the NFL is by far the superior organization.

When it comes to encouraging people to watch their games, the NFL runs circles around MLB.

I have something called NFL Game Pass. It's not available in the US or anywhere else where they think you can buy Sunday Ticket on DirecTV. I guess that is one area where the MLB package is better. Anyway, the broadcast quality is vastly superior and I can watch up to four games at a time.

Superior to what, normal OTA? Sunday Ticket you can watch every game.

No, I mean the MLB internet package does not limit subscribers to those who are outside the US. I can watch games over the intertubes in Houston if I want to, just not the Astros. My NFL package is blocked in the US.
