Kubiak said it is a serious injury. He wouldn't confirm that it was season ending, but reading between the lines it would be extremely fortunate if it wasn't.

Matt Leinart highlights. Except for a pick, pretty nice performance.

That's why they're called "highlights".

It is, Kubes is just being silly. Maybe the team thinks there is some revolutionary procedure to get him back on the field or something...or Kubes is just being a NFL head coach and downplaying an injury.

We'll miss Schaub in a clutch situation when he needs to win us a game?

Lol?

ESPN says its a Lisfranc joint in right foot.

plus Schaub has a appointment with a dr that specializes Lisfranc injurys

Are you insinuating that Schaub doesn't execute the two minute offense well... or, he hasn't been clutch late in games? Give me a break! I realize he isn't Peyton or Brady but the guy has been very good since his return from injury late in 2008.

So the injury happens because the Texans take over in their own endzone pretty much and Schaub takes a QB sneak just to get some space....

So had Kareem just been his normal self and gave up the TD the Texans would have still had Schaub....

F'n Kareem Jackson.

With Leinart at QB the threat of the passing game is significantly less. This puts more pressure on the running game. Houston is in a four way tie for 10th in rushing yards per attempt. Nothing incredibly special. And that will only get worse with no threat of a passing game.

The reason the defense has been so good is because they have been good against the pass. Against the rush we are in a four way tie for 12th in rushing yards per attempt. The reason the numbers look so good looking at yards per game is because of our early leads and making teams have to pass the ball. With the shortage of offense and points, teams will be able to run the ball more often.

I just see this spiraling into a lot of new issues. I do think we can get two or three wins though, just don't see anywhere in the playoffs without Schaub. Next year....

If you truly think the running game this year has been "nothing incredibly special" I don't know what team you have been watching.

I would also say that while we are not an elite run defense most of the rush yards against us have actually come when we are ahead late and everyone has their ears pinned back rushing the passer.

That's exactly what I'm insinuating. Are you joking?

hahahahahahah NICE!!! In Leinart we Trust!!

[MEGA SWATT]

Matt(2) will come in and our offense will keep on rolling. When you think about it, MS is not that great. He's not mobile, can't/won't run the ball, he does not have a strong arm, does not read the defense all that well, and although he is somewhat accurate he makes some really questionable short and long throws that make you wonder....plus he can't throw a fade to AJ in the corner.

No Mario, no AJ, no MS, NO PROBLEM!

Leinart just has to drive the bus and not make the big mistakes. He can do that, right?

[Dash]

Matt Leinart’s seen how Brooks Reed has produced for the Texans since Mario Williams went down.

He said in a conference call with reporters Monday evening he’s hoping to fill in for Matt Schaub with similar success.

The Texans have said Schaub is getting further examines on his foot, but that he’s out for sure for the team’s next game, Nov. 27 at Jacksonville. Adam Schefter reports the lis franc injury is a season-ender for Schaub.

Leinart joined the Texans for the 2010 season and was third in line behind Schaub and Dan Orlovsky. He liked things so much that while he might have been able to find a situation that could have got him on the field sooner, he re-signed and came back as Schaub’s primary backup, ahead of rookie T.J. Yates.

“I’m really bummed for Matt,” he said of Schaub. “..Btu he knows and everyone knows in this profession things happen and the next guy has to step up and that’s my job, my responsibility as a quarterback, to take his place right now and to help this team win.”

“It’s a great opportunity and I’m on a great football team and I love these guys and I’m just excited about the chance.”

Leinart sounds like he believes he’s a different guy than the first-round draft pick who did not pan out in Arizona.

He loves working with Schaub and has high praise for coach Gary Kubiak, offensive coordinator Rick Dennison and quarterback coach Greg Knapp.

“The quarterback coaching here is second to none, it’s unbelievable.” Leinart said. “I think that’s why Matt has been able to be so successful and efficient for years now.”

It’s demanding in a way he said is intended to bring out the best in a quarterback and that’s how it should work for him now that he’s older and more mature. His job now is to trust what the coaches tell him, manage the offense and be efficient.

He’s worked hard on his footwork, and it’s supposed to help steer him to throw the ball to the right place.

The offense should be the same, as he shares strengths with Schaub.

“That’s something I’ve always been comfortable with, in college we ran (bootleg) all the time, as much as we do here,” he said. “And it’s part of the reason why I love this offense so much. At Arizona, we weren’t a big boot-action, play-action and boot-pass team at all. Obviously here with the way we run the ball so well, that’s a huge part of our offense and that’s something that I really feel comfortable doing.”

A healthy stable of weapons expected to include Andre Johnson after a long-stretch out with a hamstring injury will help Leinart a great deal, and the team can continue to lean on running backs Arian Foster and Ben Tate.

“I imagine now defenses are going to try to make me throw the ball to win,” he said. “We’ve got some great guys on the outside to do that… It’s going to be fun. Matt is the leader of this team and he got us to this position.

“I told Gary, we’ll just continue to go and win for him and keep this thing going forward.”
