Schaub Interview

[Vinny]

The sack problem went to Carolina one year...since then we have been average. Carr took alot of sacks but Schaub probably took harder hits (while sacked less) since he has more courage in the pocket....as well as some bad luck. Hopefully he isn't the next Chris Chandler. All in all I'm fired up about the offense.

Well now, if Vinnie is startin to come around on our offense, we must be doing good things. Kinda makes ya wish the first game was tomorrow.

i'm alright with average from an average line though. salaam-pitts-mckinney/flannasaurus-weary and co.-winston wasn't a group of record setters hehe...i think we should probably expect more from the current brown-pitts-myers-briesel-winston rotation. add to it a healthy schaub and we've got what should be a good line and a good qb. add to that a healthy ahman green/chris taylor, we signed chris brown, we drafted steve slaton and we've got a decent stable to run through one of the best o'line coach's system instead of the no-headed monster sherman compiled. add to that a healthy andre johnson and jacoby jones. add to that kevin walter's solidity and andre davis resigning. yea, i'm getting pretty pumped too!

fwiw, Schaub told me last night his shoulder was feeling good (and "thanks for asking!")

Not to derail this thread, but we do have some really nice guys on this team, I hope it translates with this new staff to wins, and I think it will. Part of being a team is getting along with each other, not being an individual and being accountable to one another (among many other things)

You don't need thugs and hoodlums to win games.

I literally bumped into Fred Weary last weekend at a Kroger. He could not have been more cordial and friendly. We chatted a few minutes about his injury, football and BBQ techniques.

I want Schaub to be able to move around in the pocket a little better, to draw a little extra time when the WR hasn't finished his route, or he has to make an extra read, and the defense is closing in.

if players know that all most people are going to want is a hello and a handshake (maybe an autograph or a picture too ) then it's probably easier to deal with. personally, if i played a game for a living i would consider this my "work". i'm not saying a weirdo doesn't come along now and then but i think most football fans know not to make a big scene if you see a player out in public.

It's worth saying again: if the offense line blocks for the run better, and if the defensive line protects better against the run, the rest of the game will fall into place pretty easily. Easy to say but much harder to execute.
