Two things stand out in these numbers; Matt Schaub is outstanding when defenders are in his face, and last year defenders were in Matt Schaub's face too much.

The GoodIf you recall from last week, the Texans defense led the league in pressure percentage last year. I'm guessing Houston readers aren't as excited about Matt Schaub topping this week's list, especially considering it's a bit of a surprise. Houston's offensive line ranked in the middle of the pack in Adjusted Sack Rate, not dead last, and the unit got a positive review last year from none other than Ben Muth. Schaub took a sack on only 5.2 percent of his dropbacks last season, so the culprit for his high percentage was hurries. If we look only at his throws, Schaub was hurried 30.9 percent of the time, which was 7.6 percent higher than the next-highest quarterback (in this case, Roethlisberger). The silver lining for Schaub is that he didn't respond to all that pressure with a DVOA like Tim Tebow's.
