What's in the Texans booth?

[Joshua]

The Moats' fumble yesterday is not the first time the Texans have lollygagged after a potentially reviewable play. I'm curious what the Texans have in their booth. Do they have a TV with the same feed as the rest of us? Anyone know?

I don't know, but you can pretty much count on at least one bonehead coaching gaff and one bonehead Schaub pass per game. It's to be expected.

Schaubs pass was not nearly as "boneheaded" as that wounded-duck the Colts thru up towards the sidelines which became Pollards second interception. That pass bordered on wierd ?

To answer the original question, I don't know if there are tv monitors for the coaches upstairs and I would guess the only requirement is that both staffs have to have access to the same information so, IOW, they both have monitors or neither do. Where and how convenient probably varies from stadium to stadium.

I do recall that the Redskins actually hired a "replay coach" whose one and only job was to watch the monitors and advise Joe Gibbs whether he should throw a challenge flag or not. In great comic fashion, the "replay coach" was chronically wrong and I can't remember if he even lasted the whole season.

Schaub said this morning that the staff told him thru his headset to slow down & run the clock down to the two minute warning. He later said that from the Texan's coaches view point, they saw that the Indy defender was down, out of bounds, which they interpet that they are both out of bounds. Either way, we need to hang on to the damn ball, as it should not have come to that.

So it sounds like the answer is "yes, we did see the replay, but we didn't know the rules well enough to know this was a possible fumble." Outstanding.

Further, we've all seen plays get overturned on review that left us scratching our heads. Even if you think you're right, why let it get to that?

The first or second drive of the game where he threw into triple coverage for an INT was pretty boneheaded, IMO.
