And now we'll lose.
It means we're playing the Steelers this weekend.
i dunno.. schaub gets confused rather easily, and the steelers will look to take AJ away with taylor and clark. THANK GAWD ARIAN IS BACK! Going off topic, does it seem like Schaub doesn't even attempt to read the defense? I can't recall and instance where he audibled out of a play based on what a defense was showing him... arrrrggg.

I rarely see him audible..... i think he says that he gets a number of plays to choose from before he gets to the huddle....but rarely do I see him change the play once he calls it in the huddle......maybe I am wrong on that.....
I think you are correct. He hardly ever audibles. I think someone posted a while ago that he is not allowed to audible?
All 3 picked us over the Dolphins.
The Texans never get any national respect.
Nobody worries about upsetting Dolphins.
That's because Dolphins don't rip your arms out of their sockets when they lose. Steelers have been known to do that.
I don't think he's allowed to audible out of plays. The smartest man on the field is Kubiak, DON'T QUESTION IT.
Exactly....not a fan of this. Give Schaub the leash to make adjustments on the fly at will.
On Inside the NFL just now, Chis Collingsworth, Warren Sapp and Phil Simms ALL PICKED HOUSTON TO BEAT THE STEELERS!!

Schaub is allowed to audible. Kubiak and Schaub were asked about it several times last year.

Not true. The one time he did, Ravens on MOnday night last year because his helmet radio went out, is when he lead the comeback against the Ravens. Ironically enough they got it working right before he threw the pick 6 and lost the game.:vincepalm:

Do you have a legit source to back up the claim that it's not true?
I'm not calling you out, but there have been multiple interviews with Kubiak and Schaub that confirm that the QB is allowed to audible. I'd like to read/listen to anything that reveals otherwise outside of message board conjecture.

I guess I just can't see what's making us the favorites in this game.
And now we'll lose.
We are at home, can put up major points and no matter what happened 4th quarter last week our D is much improved.
The Steelers have a TERRIBLE O line, defense looks tired and old and Ben was almost killed the past 3 weeks.

Thats what I can find right now. I used to have a link, last year, to a more detailed article about it. From what I gather Schaub has ONE option if the called play doesnt look good. Usually a dump off to a RB or a quick slant. He proved in that Ravens game he could handle full control and personally I think they need to let him.
Schaub can audible.
Once upon a time, it was said that he could only audible into ONE type of play (meaning he did not have "full control" but rather was allowed to go to a certain play that was predetermined if he desired to do so pre-snap).
DB wasn't asking about the headset issue at the Baltimore game he was asking about your assertion Schaub is not allowed to audible. You didn't provide anything on that. As for the Baltimore game, I sit front row home team side at the games and Schaub was often looking over to the the sidelines for signals not just calling his own plays but in any event that is play calling not audibles.
Edit - And as a matter of fact his communications were not totally out - they were intermittent. Just flipped on my DVR and it was on the 99 yard drive so mid fourth. Middle of the drive the commentators note he had been having difficulty with his helmet. A play or two later Schaub throws his hands in the air audibly says "I can't hear" and calls a timeout. That isn't a guy calling his own plays.
Just to elaborate:
He is limited in the audibles he can call, but it is based on the play that was called in the huddle. If they're in a 2 tight end set, it doesn't make sense to audbile to something you'd run with a 4 WR set. It's a big misconception that Schaub can't audible. I imagine he does so frequently, he just does it in such a way that the defense has no idea if he is changing the play
