-Get Cush back healthy -Get another playmaking WR on offense -Get rid of Barwin and get another rusher
And he threw for a first down after that play. Schaub wasn't that good, but not sure we can pin it on him when he went for 300+ yards and had 2 TDs.
On defense, I think it might be harder for a 3-4 team to go up against elite passing offenses than a 4-3 team. Teams like Green Bay and New England force you out of your base defense and into nickel. A 4-3 team is really only exchanging a linebacker for a cornerback but a 3-4 defense needs to exchange 2 linebackers for a cornerback and a lineman. It's more of a change. In our base 3-4, getting pressure on the QB is largely dependent on blitzing one or more of our linebackers. We're not as strong with 4 linemen as we are with 3 + an LB. So putting an extra lineman out there and taking 2 LBs of the field really hurts us. We can't get the same pressure on the QB and RBs have less LBs to worry about. This makes us less effective regardless, but with Cushing out it REALLY hurts us. I'm not sure what the solution is. How much do want to invest in having 4 solid guys on the line when you'd really prefer that only 3 be out there? I guess we can try to get 2 guys to pair with Watt and take our chances in nickel with a lesser DE/DT. Or maybe I'm wrong. San Fran plays a 3-4 and did enough against GB and NE to win.
even if schaub made some dumb plays like losing the football when running 3 ft...the offense scored 28 pts. last 5 games we avg what..like 16pts? Can't win when you give up 41 pts against any team. End of story.
It was Schaub wasting possessions, even with good field positioning, rushing the defense back onto the field after they expended energy on getting Brady off the field without points. Eventually leading to the second half where the defense was torn to pieces. 3-14 on Third downs, Schaub along with the play calling/selection of Kubiak and Dennison deserves a majority of the blame.
At this moment I am a FIRE KUBIAK GUY I was before [6-10] Tomorrow maybe I will be better 1. If you think Schuab is inadequate . . . FIRE KUBIAK because we know Kubiak does not 'do' QB controversies. Schuab is his guy . . . PERIOD Carr was his guy . . . PERIOD there will be no FIGHTING for the QB position before the season They will be no fighting during the season. So don't expect them to draft a QB with any chance in hell of challenging Schuab 2. If you think 500 ybs of offense between the 20s is not worth a ****! .. FIRE KUBIAK I don't give a d*mn about them making a bunch of yards if they cannot punch it into the *****ing endzone YARDS . . TIME OF POSSESSION . . .don't mean ***** if it ends in 3s and not 7s The ball was put inside THE OTHER team's 20 and we could do NOTHING but kick a fricking feild goal?!?!?!?! that set the tone of the game. That was a BIG WIN for the CHEATriots defense. When the game was IN PLAY . . how many passes beyond 20 yrs did we even ATTEMPT??!??! 3. Why the FRICK did we not THROW THE BALL TO ARIAN MORE!! IT was open all night!! ARIAN EVEN SAID THEY IGNORED HIM LAST GAME . . . now we see why . . .cause Kubiak and Schuak ignored him too Everytime that gave him shots in space. . good things happened The *****ty *****ing WR screen was sniffed out and stuffed every *****ing time!! Rocket River . . . yea . . I got more. . .
I feel you RR, Foster shoulda been targeted at least 8 to 10 times tonight. Schaub just freaked out anytime the pocket started to collapse.
1. You do know 14 pts were GARBAGE TIME POINTs no . .then not the yards or time of possession during that time DOES NOT COUNT 3/14 <--- Third down conversion Not enough throws to Arian Not Vertical game at all No adjustments nothing Rocket River
Brady and Vereen shredded the supposedly good Texan's defense like it was child's play. The Texans have no shot at ever beating that Pats team in this current era in the playoffs.
We have had some really great athletes in Houston. But with all the disappointments we have had with losing in the playoffs for all our sports franchises it sure makes you appreciate just how great Olajuwon was.
LOL The Texans had 13 points through three quarters. They were down 25 points before the Pats defense pulled back and then Schaub became elite.
This. In the past, Matt has put up meaningful numbers and his supporting cast failed him in crunch time. But that was not the case today. His numbers came from pure garbage time.
