    Giants defensive end Michael Strahan was in Houston on Thursday to play in a charity golf tournament to benefit the Ray Anthony Peacock scholarship fund. Strahan was asked what he thought about the Texans trading for Schaub, and he pointed out that before the Giants played the Falcons last season, he watched film of Schaub and starter Michael Vick.

    "We studied both of those guys," Strahan said. "He's (Schaub) a drop-back, almost like a Tom Brady-like quarterback. He's very composed, and he's very big. The word we were told when we were preparing for the Falcons was we almost don't want to put him in the game. We want to keep him on the sidelines. He's first-round talent. He's a very good player. I think the Texans did a good thing by getting him."

    Haha that's a good quote but my goodness could he be any more non-committal. "almost like a Tom Brady-like..."

    Seeing as (a) bashing the Texans or Shaub wouldn't be good form (and it's very rare to see athletes bash one another in the press without provocation) and (b) his remarks seemed more to describe Shaub's playing style rather than excellence, I wouldn't get to crazy about it.

    You can't be Brady-esque without coming through in big games, and Shaub's first big game has yet to take place.

    That would suggest Jarhead is Belichik and we all know Jarhead can't even hold Bill's scrotum.

    Hey, right now I'll settle for that over a "almost like a David Carr-like...".
