#Texans RT @PostBroncos: Matt Schaub getting something x-rayed
 
Basically Del Rio's game plan for Schaub has always been to try and knock the snot out of him until he ceased to be effective or knock him out of the game entirely, whichever came first. He did the same thing today. Those two plays that resulted in 15 yard penalties and easily could have passed as felony assault were the Denver defense (read: Del Rio) deciding that they'd had enough of Matt's hot hand.

If fines don't come down for this it will be a travesty. I used to dread the Texans road game to Jacksonville for just this reason. Del Rio is a piece of excrement whose teams have always done this.
 
I saw schaub go into the locker room and was back on the field by the time the D got done. I watched him and he looked good. Chill people i'm sure its just precaution.
 
I was fearing this... But he looked fine out there at the end of the game, hope its just a precautionary measure. We need Matt to stay healthy!
 
Personally, I think a couple late hits on Manning were in order and I'm not kidding. Ya wanna play that way? DO YA?!!?!?!?!?

While there were certainly some finable hits, I don't know how much you can criticize the strategy. Texans run a finesse offense with play-action on almost every play, running or passing. The downside for the Texans is that it creates a lot of slow-developing plays, and often leaves the quarterback vulnerable on rollouts. As a d-coordinator, why wouldn't you try to exploit this by pinning back your ears and going hard after the QB? Read and react, and you're going to get misdirected to death.

It's been an effective strategy. I'm not questioning that. I like my NFL with QB's having to take hits just like the next guy. I'm just pointing out that over the years I've watched Del Rio coached teams and defenses now plant Matt's shoulder in the turf, hit him late over and over again, and basically walk the line between legal and illegal contact for years now. The man coaches a dirty defense and always has.

And what have we done about it? :butterfly:

You don't wait too find out the league isn't going to do ****e because you are not a coastal team. You hurt somebody and make these coaches think three times, not just twice, before they pull that kind of crap on your team again.
 
The way it ought to be, Peyton should have been refusing to go back out onto the field after what he saw them do to Schaub, out of fear for his own safety.

You can't retaliate against Manning. He and Brady enjoy a preference where calls are concerned that rivals some NBA players. You go after him and you will see suspensions come down. Of that I have no doubt. You also can't go telling players to retaliate in this day and age.

If I was a member of the Texans OL though I wouldn't have any qualms about rolling up on some Denver ankles after those two hits on my QB. If the Texans don't want to do that I can't fault them for it. They're professionals. At the same time there's a "book" on how to beat most, make that every team in the NFL. Teams follow those plans to the best of their ability and one of the reasons I think Schaub is injured so much is that defenses know that getting to him hard will take him out of his game. They're going to keep coming until someone makes them pay for doing it.

You're right, but if Kubiak's going to continue calling deep passes into the 4th quarter then Schaub's gonna get some hits. I'm not blaming Kubiak necessarily, but games like this are going to happen with his offense. NFL d-coordinators are not typically gentle souls in case you haven't noticed.
 
Don't want to hijack this thread, but what happened to get Duane Brown so upset near the end of the game? It was the scuffle after Arian Foster's carry. I couldn't see what happened, but Brown was really ticked off.

Schaub said "he's fine" despite big hit, and he only was cut on/by his left ear. #TexansGamrday

Hell, the cops would probably come and arrest you on the sideline, lol.

I've never seen either Manning be very fearful of anything. And certainly neither Gary nor Wade is going to condone or tolerate dirty play. Eventually it just results in costly penalties.
 
He might not have any broken bones, but he's going to be hurting for a while. He took some vicious illegal hits today.
 
@FakeChuckNorris...Schaub X-ray revealed significant finding.

I agree, particularly since even mild contact with "His Peyton-ness" results in a 15 yard roughing the passer call. No sense rolling out the red carpet for him like that.

No kidding .... Tho I wouldnt mind a shot to split Delrio's wig.

How bout that PI call in the endzone on Jackson .... Perfect coverage , the reciever makes the contact and the defender gets penalized.


I dont think another QB outside of maybe Brady or Rodgers gets that call.

Yeah , he took some big shots today .... Not only did he take big shots but he stood in the pocket and delivered accurate passes while getting clobbered.


Better not a soul question the toughness of Schaub after that performance or I might have to test their chin.
 
Schaub should be fine. I know we play Tennessee next wk and should get after Locker but I'm already looking towards the Jets game and looks like Revis has a torn ACL :hurrah:
 
Not to say there is any significant damage to his shoulder, but acute plain Xrays of the shoulder will usually only show an overt fracture if present. Hair line fractures or ligament damage are unlikely to be diagnosed now without an MRI.

Crazy also because he isnt playing for a new contract either.

I appreciate unguarded enthusiasm from my fellow Texans fans, but cheering an opponent's career-threatening injury is kinda classless. Just sayin'....

apparently he also lost a piece of his ear.

The closeup on tv was consistent with a crush laceration with the edges retracted (separated) making it look like there is a loss of part of his earlobe. This is much like some of the females that have caught their large hoop earrings on something and the hoop tears through splitting the entire earlobe.



This (below) is one that has already been allowed to heal without repair (no longer bloody as opposed to Schaub's fresh injury). Note that there appears to be a loss of part of the earlobe.......but there isn't.

Idgaf nobody felt sorry for us when we loss Schaub or Mario or Andre for awhile so take that class and sux it this the NFL grown men next man up. Just Sayin.. OD has had 3 ACL tears and come back this 2012 man Doctors and Medical procedures can work wonders so I'm sure Revis will be back he isn't a Texan so idgaf once again.

I understand what you're saying. It's not like I'm doing a voodoo dance every week praying for injuries for our opponents but at the same time it is the Texans good fortune to be facing the Jets when they (may) not have Revis. Not going to apologize for taking note of the obvious. Nobody ever apologized for easy wins over the Texans when they had players out or back in the day when our roster was stocked with everyone else's rejects. That's the nature of the game.

And this is why it's nice to have someone in the medical field on this board. Thanks for the insight.
