Not that long ago, Texan success had to be measured in less than victories. It was cause for celebration when the quarterback didnt get sacked.
Thats the single biggest difference between the Texans of old and the Texans of the last two weeks. New quarterback Matt Schaub is getting rid of the ball, not holding it like former quarterback David Carr, inviting disaster and usually finding it. The offensive line that has given up two sacks in two games is the same offensive line that played most of last season, when it gave up 43 sacks with Carr under center.
Last week, Carr watched from the Carolina sideline as Schaub went without a sack against a Panthers defensive line heralded as one of the best in the league. Down 14-0 early, the Texans reeled off 34 straight points on the road. They had never scored more than 31 in their first five years in existence.
