      Report: Matt Schaub has torn MCL, out a month

      November 3, 2008 /

      Sage Rosenfels needs to warm up that arm. According to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, Matt Schaub will miss at least a month with an injured knee.

      Texans quarterback Matt Schaub has a torn MCL and will likely miss at least a month if the team decides not to place him on injured reserve, multiple sources told FOXSports.com.

      Schaub had an MRI Monday morning that confirmed the severity of the injury. The injury was sustained on a hit by Vikings Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen in the Texans’ 28-21 loss to Minnesota.

      Sage Rosenfels will take over as Houston’s starting QB.

      Schaub was having a pretty decent season. In the four games prior to the team’s loss to the Vikings, Schaub threw for an average of 308 yards and 2.3 TD. He missed five games last season due to a shoulder injury, so now one has to wonder if he’s simply an injury-prone player.

      Fantasy owners should make a move for Sage Rosenfels. Despite a horrid fourth quarter against the Colts in Week 5, Rosenfels has played pretty well over the past couple of seasons in Schaub’s absence. In the eight games over the last two seasons that he has attempted 20+ passes, Rosenfels has thrown for an average of 220 yards and 1.9 TD. Not bad for a waiver wire pickup.

      Matt Schaub gets his revenge

      October 12, 2008 /

      Matt SchaubMatt Schaub has had a rough two weeks. Not only did the Houston Texans’ starting quarterback miss last week’s loss to the Colts due to sickness, but he also had to endure watching his replacement, Sage Rosenfels, cough up a 17-point fourth quarter lead in the process.

      Schaub returned to the starting lineup on Sunday against the Dolphins, but after throwing two interceptions on Houston’s first two possessions, Texans fans started shouting for the man who essentially cost their team the game last week.

      Texans fans booed heartily after the first interception and some chanted “We want Sage” for backup Sage Rosenfels after the second. The few fans that were left for the winning score replaced those chants with roars of approval for Schaub.

      Schaub eventually redeemed himself and got a measure of revenge when he scored the game-winning touchdown on a three-yard run with just three seconds remaining. The play gave the Texans a 29-28 win over the Dolphins, which is their first victory of the year.

      NFL Photos of the Week: Week 5

      October 6, 2008 /

      Here are a few of my favorite photos from Week 5 action. You can see a full slideshow of larger versions on NFL.com.

      I’m not a fan of Randy Moss, but the league is better off when he’s playing his best ball. After Matt Cassel’s first couple of starts, many were wondering if he had the arm strength to hit Moss with the deep ball. I like photos that capture more than just a single play. This one also answers a question that was plaguing the Patriots and their fans.

      The Texans/Colts game turned out to be one of the most exciting finishes of the day due in no small part to Reggie Wayne’s terrific one-handed touchdown catch. Wayne is clearly one of the best (and most consistent) wideouts in the game and this photo captures his immense ability.

      Sage Rosenfels would probably like to forget Sunday’s game against the Colts. He had a chance to take hold of the starting job in Houston, but he managed to give the game away with two fumbles and an interception in a miserable fourth quarter. This picture captures his boneheaded decision to go airborne as the Texans tried to put the game away.

      Throughout his career, Donald Driver has been one of the most consistently underrated wideouts in the game. This catch against the Falcons looked like it was going to be knocked away or even intercepted, but Driver out muscled Erik Coleman for the ball.

      The Redskins have been one of the biggest surprises of this young season, and much of their success is due to the steady running of Clinton Portis. His game was on display against the Eagles, as the Redskins utilized his power running as an effective deterrent to the Eagles’ blitz happy defense.


      The Packers are now 2-3 and this week’s loss to the Falcons signifies just how far Green Bay has to go. The tackling was sloppy and they hurt themselves with too many mental mistakes and penalties. It’s tough to see my favorite team in this position, but the picture captures the Packers’ current ineptitude.

      Sage Rosenfels had a tough day

      October 5, 2008 /

      Houston head coach Gary Kubiak had to go with Sage Rosenfels Sunday against Indianapolis because his starter, Matt Schaub, was sick. And things didn’t look to bad for ol’ Sage and Texans as they amassed a 27-10 fourth quarter lead.

      That is, until Rosenfels decided that the Houston fan base hasn’t suffered enough this year and started handing out turnovers like they were candy on Halloween.

      Somebody get Sage a hug.
