Schaub injured (update)

It's the bye week. They've got an extra week to get Matty out of the hot tub and onto the field. At there's that working in our favor. Leinhart is good enough with two weeks of practice to throw a few passes and hand the ball off.

If I'm not mistaken they can't practice during the first week of the bye. Anyone know?
 
Well I guess we can put those #1 seed in the AFC threads on hold. Hopefully leinart has learned some stuff in his time at backup. This is an ideal situation for him.

The first thing I thought when I heard Kubiak say "significant" and "miss some games" was that the rumors were true. No one ever says what the actual weeks out are going to be. I think I'm going to cry.

Didn't Roethlisberger play with a broken foot?

Yeah, but "significant foot injury" is really friggin' vague. So who knows at this point if Matt could play on it or not. I'm leaning not if they have already ruled him out for the Jax game.

It's his right foot.
 
This is gotta be the worst. Best team ever but most injury riddled year as well. Only thing left is for them to say he is done.
 
This F'n sucks.

Wow.

Leinart should be able to make most throws the only thing I can say is that this team SHOULD STILL go to the playoffs. We run the ball really well and play defense really well...

Leinart can't be that bad...

Edit: First the NBA now this. Ugh
 
I don't even know what to say.

BUT.

At least Leinart will have AJ and our three headed monster to lean on. The main thing is limiting his throws and setting up our gameplan so that we don't expose Leinart's weaknesses.

Our D and our running game will need to step up big time.

Why couldn't we just cruise through the rest of the season? I mean, really, what the freaking hell.

Because they are a Houston sports team. Only conclusion I can come up with.
 
Okay. This sucks.

Maybe all is not lost.... I mean, Trent Friggin' Dilfer won a SB behind a good running game and a solid defense.

I'm not saying that our D is THAT good, but I digress.

Leinart, please don't screw this up.
 
I'm not that worried about the next couple of games. I think Matty Hot-Tub can hand off well enough; and if temas continue to stack 8 in the box I thihe can find/hit a few open receivers. If teams leave 7 in the box, Foster and Tate will have a field day.

They just announced it on fb. This is some BULL!

Guess we will be seeing 10 people in the box to stop the run now.
 
Damn this sucks. Can it get any worse?

Good news is Dre is coming back next game hopefully and we have a bye week so Leinart needs to start practicing handing the ball off.
 
Well, let's look at the bright side. Leinart has had time to be a student of the game and get his head straight and is heading into a bye week, which will give him a little extra time to prepare. He will also have a well rested AJ to throw too and a fairly weak Jax defense to go against as he eases into the role. This is Leinart's chance to earn his money. Let's hope that Gary has him ready.

He better be. Dude is a top 5 pick, he should be good enough to get the job done. Throwing to Andre is not that hard...

If Matt is not out for the year then when he gets back expect Foster or Cushing to go out. That's been our luck...
 
I knew it....I knew something was up when he was in a boot yesterday after the game.

I hate qb sneaks.....anything can happen in those piles....something bad happened......

Leinart was brought in for a reason....

I am going to think about these things.....
1. Andre Johnson will be back....
2. We have a 2 headed monster in Foster and Tate.....a handoff is all it takes for that......
3.We have a defense......

Think about those 3 things......

Now watch all the bandwagoners fall off again......
 
This news sucks, but F it. Next man up.

Lienart is better and more experianced than Gabbert, plus the Texans are a better team that the Jagoffs.
Two weeks to prepare, just go 1-0 in week 11.

Who said AJ's coming back? Link please?
 
Just take a look at the NFL homepage... The big headlines: Texans best in AFC - and "can the Texans make the Superbowl" - and just above that breaking news: Leinart in for injured Schaub...

Playoffs are still very much possible (after all, 2-3 more wins should do the trick), but without Schaub this team isn`t going far in the playoffs. It´s just another season of: what could`ve been possible if our best players wouldn`t have gotten hurt (highest paid player on defense and the two highest payed players on offense got injured for significant stretches...).

What is it with Houston? The Rockets have been in injury hell for years, now the Texans... man, as an outsider, I sure picked to wrong city to root for...
 
Kubiak: Scans to be sent to a specialist next week.
Schaub is supposed to visit some specialist(s) next week - one of them is currently out of the country.
 
Lienart is a bust plain and simple. I pray to god he can atleast not throw interceptions. This sucks so bad. I wish I shared the same optimism as you guys and trust lienart but this season is gone. Even if we make the playoffs, there's no way we are beating a team with lienart as qb
 
Treatment options include operative or non-operative treatment. If the dislocation is less than 2 mm, the fracture can be managed with casting for 6 weeks. The patient's injured limb cannot bear weight during this period. For operative treatment, screws +/- k-wire will be used for internal fixation of the fracture after closed or more likely open reduction. Again, the patient's injured limb should not bear weight for approximately 6–12 weeks. The screws/k-wires are usually removed later, sometimes before weight bearing.


Minimum 6 weeks it looks like?
 
Leinart can not be that bad. He did show some promise early and it's not like the Cards are known for their wise QB decisions.

All he has to do is hand it off and make keep defenses honest. He could have thrown that ball to Jacoby on Sunday. I still have faith that this team can go to the playoffs at the very least.

The Titans or anyone in the division is not better than a banged up Texans team. Our strength is our defense and running the ball and when you do those things well you always have a chance.
