What do you make of not coming right out & saying surgery is the only option..... I mean they did more tests today & have sent the x-ray or MRI to some specialist & waiting for a guy who is out of the country, etc... etc..
If it were the situation you described, we wouldn't need to go for all these second & third opinions right?
Why dont you work for the Texans medical staff? Seriously.TK, I wish I could answer your question (which is a good question), but I can't with certainty, mainly since we don't even know if this is a true Lisfranc which involves a fracture of a metatarsal bone (one of the long mid foot bones) along with a separation of that bone with its more proximal attachment to an ankle bone........or if it may be solely a metatarsal fracture without the accompanying separation and associated ligament damage. There may still be a question of a true separation if it demonstrates borderline measurement.
Don't forget, though, how often these same scenarios of not really being told what they may know........things that they must have known pretty much from the beginning, but chose not to reveal it until they decided that "hiding it" any longer served no further purpose. Who knows at this point? Who knows when and if we find out what the real facts of injury ever come out.
One thing that I can tell you is that no injury is made BETTER by allowing it to be played on. I also question why he was not made to elevate his foot or, better yet, why he would be allowed to bear weight let alone walk on his booted foot BEFORE a definitive diagnosis could be made. Reminds me of watching Tate being encouraged to weight bear and walk off the field unassisted after his catastrophic injury.........only to finally give out when he reached the sideline. Again, I wish I had all the answers for you, but I just don't.
If the x-ray didn't produce a definitive "picture" of what might be there, then maybe it's not as severe? I get what you're saying though--It could take 10 days and more "pictures" to see more clearly what's going on in his foot, correct?
Which, if I am thinking correctly, is why Kubiak said that Schaub is going to have several more looksies at it over the next two weeks. Maybe?
Am I on the right track, or no?
Why?
Do you, or do you not like what Schaub has done over the past 5 years? Matt Schaub was not a 1st or 2nd round pick, not until we gave up two 2nds to get him.
Why dont you work for the Texans medical staff? Seriously.
I want what's best for 2011 and beyond. I don't think Schaub is the long-term QB here. I don't think Leinart is either. TJ Yates? A long shot, to say it nicely. When do you start trying to find a QB for the future, TK? It better not be too late, or you're throwing him to the wolves and Kubiak won't settle for anything less than what he had out of Schaub.
All I know is, everyone got pissed when we were bitching about injuries and said it's not even close to a Packers situation...
....well shove it, it is. Foster, Tate, Ward, Andre, Casey, Mario, Manning, Sharpton, and now Schaub? Perhaps even missing a player or two.
Let's see what we're made of.
People can knock me for my long posts, but at least I'm not cryptic in my ideas on here.
Well, every QB that Kubiak had start for this club has put up decent numbers one way or the other. Schaub was a 3rd round pick & has played pretty well. He's on a team now, that doesn't need a whole lot from the QB position, but Matt has shown that he's got more than enough to get the job done.
I think.
Starters aren't easy to come by in this league & we've got one in Schaub. But we've also been bringing QBs in & searching for Matt's replacement since he got here.
That's what Orlovsky was.. a shot in the dark, that's what Sage was, that's what Lienart is. TJ as well, Alex Brink... didn't we have Brohm here for a little while?
Where's Dave Ragone when you need him?
I may be way off base here, and I'm just thinking outloud, but can't they just shoot him up before the game & at halftime? The injury happened in the 2nd quarter and he still played through it. I'm sure it will make the injury linger and possibly get worse, but he can then have surgery in the offseason to repair any significant damages. It may not be the popular choice or even logical, but I'm wondering if it's an option. These guys get paid millions to play, and that includes playing hurt. They all do it. I just don't know if this is one of those injuries that you can will yourself through if you have the right concoction to control the swelling and deal with the pain. I welcome comments, as I said, I'm just thinking outloud here.
I'm just playing with you GP....
Leinart is now the man and it is time to ride him.

That sounds sooooooooo bad!
Unless you meant a piggy back ride. If you're talking "reverse cowgirl", you're on your own bro! Lol
I know, but I have to clarify for those who would take what we say to each other and make **** out of it. Know what I mean?
I like what you said earlier about how people shouldn't be saying "Now we get to see if the Schaub haters enjoy getting their wish..." when in essence that's also saying "I can't wait for Leinart to stink up the joint so you can see how good Schaub was in the first place."
To me, that post has been the best post in the entire thread. Seriously.
We DO have to rally around this team right now. 100%. We have to believe that fate is not dealing us a death card...we're actually going to show the critics out there that the TEXANS have the best TEAM and we're not a one-man show like the Colts are.
We can lose our top defensive guy. We can lose another guy in Danieal Manning too. We can lose AJ, We can lose Foster. We can lose Schaub. But we're still going to beat YOUR ASS even without those guys. In fact, this year is the year that the "Texans are soft" label gets ripped up and shoved up Michael Lombardi's ass and the tattered edges that hang out of his asshole are lit on fire.
I believe it. I think Kubiak is fed up with it. I think his kids are fed up with it. I think we utterly SMASH the Jags and the media talking heads explode and ooze all over the floors of the ESPN studio because they just can't believe the Texans are relentless like zombies. You have to hit us in the brain to kill us, or we will chew your face off and snack on your guts.
I really think we're this year's version of the 2010 Packers. Whether we win the whole thing or not, IMO, is another matter. But the relentless push onward, regardless of who gets hurt for us, is staggering when you analyze it. I'm no worried. But I want that hired gun slinger in case Leinart falls.
Leinart is now the man and it is time to ride him.

I'm sure he was shot up just to make it to the point he did. If you inject certain moderate injuries, you can sometimes get by. But if the injury is extended to greater severity because you continue to play on it without the normal protective pain feedback, then that more severe resultant injury may not be masked enough to continue to play on it. Also, if your foot specifically is numb from the injection, you don't have proprioception sensory feedback (feeling where in space your foot may be at any point in time). That in itself can make you dysfunctional and more likely to experience further injury. Just think of how when your foot falls asleep after sitting for a long time.......you really don't know where your foot is in space and when you try to walk, you feel and look like Chester in Gunsmoke. You're lucky if you don't fall over.
I hope you guys are not serious because I am not.
If schaub is put on IR what Veteran QB off the streets or on a teams IR would u want to pick up to back up Lienart any names floating around ????
Slingin to AJ!
I would cease to be a Texans fan if we brought that **** out of his Mississippi toolshed.
... but can't they just shoot him...
Leinart is now the man and it is time to ride him.

It's not that your posts are long, it's that they are in fact not cryptic & we can tell that you actually believe the crap you're writing.
Please, please, PUhlease tell me where you get that primo stuff!!!
Well then, get in line with Gary to ride Leinart....
I'm kidding, just a FYI. Not that there's anything wrong with y'all riding Matt. Whatever you do in the hot tub, stays in the hot tub.
