I'm going with Michael Brockers.
Kubiak wins the coin toss and elects to receive (like he always does, and like most good coaches don't)... Kubiak's thinking is "Let's get Matty out there quick to start this off and get those cobwebs worked out" (that's opposed to the logical thinking of having the D open things up and letting an already frustrated and ticked-off crowd settle in, or better yet, the D making a big play and getting the crowd fired up)... On the ensuing kickoff, the Texans are pinned down inside the 15 because Marciano's crew can't block and no one bothered to tell KMart not to carry the ball out from 8-yards deep in the endzone... The Offense comes onto the field amidst a chorus of boos (let's get this started right, Gary)... First down, Foster for no gain... Second down, Schaub drops back and feels the pressure (when there really is none)... He then throws an off-balance back-leg pass that bounces off Duane Brown's helmet and into the loving arms of Michael Brockers who then scampers untouched into the endzone... 0-7... The crowd is stunned with silence where only a baby's cry can be heard in the distance... Last edited by popanot; 10-10-2013 at 07:53 AM.

 Nothing would surprise me at this point. Actually, Schaub came very close to having 3 Pick-6's against SF. The potential second one was on an INT along the sideline in our zone (go figure, Schaub throws a noodle-arm sideline pass) that Dre fortunately stopped by pushing the guy out of bounds. He had a clear path to a TD had Dre been a step slower. The third one was a darn-near gimme INT the SF Safety dropped, where if he had caught it, he had a decent shot at taking it in for a TD. Lance reviews the pick-6 and the dropped INT here (not sure why he didn't review the INT and possible pick-6 Dre saved). http://www.thesidelineview.com/colum...aub-down-count

 Actually, I hope the fans are somewhat civil. A little booing is expected - just hope (for Schaub's sake, after all he's a human) that the crowd doesn't set any Guinness records for dB/volume. Let Schaub decide which way it goes..... Play decently and make not too many mistakes and finish the game with a W and things may turn out OK. I'm thinking there's short leashes all around. The crowd will have the shortest leash. You gotta think his teammates are going to have a short leash. If he starts stinking it up again, he's going to take his teammates right outta the game. Kubes better bench him before that happens.....

I'm actually fairly confidant the Texans win this weekend which is unusual because I tend to be pretty pessimistic in these situations. The real drama should be the following game in KC leading us into the bye week.

IMO, Schaub has nothing to gain but everything to lose today. I don't think this game will tell us anything about Schaub even if he does well. The KC and Indy games will be the real indicators. That is, if he does play well today. If he doesn't we'll see TJ for the KC game.
As for Schaub's play, I hope he does well and can rebound. I do believe he gives this team the best chance at turning it around and making a playoff run. I don't think TJ or Keenum is the answer (and certainly not the answer long-term). However, I'm not sure Schaub can rebound. I think his funk has more to do with his arm than it does his confidence or decision making, although, those are questionable right now too. Other than mid-range passes over the middle of the field, his passes no longer have any zip on them. Who dosen't cringe now every time he throws a sideline pass?
