The Houston Texans don’t need to make any changes at QB in 2011

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,General,Steppin Up by admin on Tuesday 18 January 2011 at 1:36 am

The Houston Texans probably like their situation at QB right now.  29-year old Matt Schaub started all 16 games for the Texans last season and he completed 365 of 574 passes (63.6%) for 4,370 yards with 24 TD passes and 12 INTs (92.0 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 22 times for 28 yards (1.3 ypc) last year.  Schaub has now played in 92 games in his NFL career and he has completed 1,288 of 1,987 passes (64.8%) for 15,457 yards with 83 TD passes and 52 INTs (91.5 QB Rating).  Schaub has also carried the ball 142 times for 328 yards (2.3 ypc) with 2 TD runs so far in his career.  He didn’t miss a snap last season.

27-year old lefty Matt Leinart didn’t get into any games for the Texans last season.  He has played in 29 games so far in this NFL career and he has completed 340 of 595 passes (57.1%) for 3,893 yards with 14 TD passes and 20 INTs (70.8 QB Rating).  Leinart has also carried the ball 46 times for 90 yards (2.0 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  The Texans seem to like Leinart so he will likely be back for 2011.

27-year old Dan Orlovsky also didn’t get into any games for the Texans last year.  Orlovsky has played in 12 games in his NFL career and he has completed 150 of 272 passes (55.1%) for 1,679 yards with 8 TD passes and 8 INTs (71.3 QB Rating).  He has also carried the ball 7 times for 29 yards (4.1 ypc) in his NFL career to date.  Orlovsky is a very solid #3 QB so the Texans should keep him too.

VERDICT:  I don’t see any reason for the Texans to make any changes at QB for 2011.

Houston Texans 34, Jacksonville Jaguars 17

The Houston Texans blasted the Jaguars’ defense yesterday!  Matt Schaub was very solid in this game as he completed 18 of 22 passes for 253 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs.  Arian Foster was awesome as he carried the ball 31 times for 180 yards (5.8 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  He also caught 2 passes for 10 yards in this game.  Derrick Ward also had a great game with 63 yards rushing on only 4 carries (15.8 ypc) with a TD run.  WR Jacoby Jones (5 rec, 70 yards), TE Owen Daniels (5 rec, 62 yards, TD) and WR Kevin Walter (3 rec, 54 yards) led the way for the Texans in the passing game.  The Texans finished up with 244 yards rushing on 37 carries (6.6 ypc) and they also completed 18 of 22 passes for 253 yards.

The Texans’ D played great against the pass but not so hot against the run yesterday.  Safety Eugene Wilson (10 tackles), LB Xavier Adibi (8 tackles and 2 tackles for a loss) and safety Troy Nolan (7 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 sack, 1 pass defensed, 1 QB hit, 1 fumble recovery and 1 interception) had solid games for the Texans yesterday.  The Jaguars finished up with 198 yards rushing on 35 carries (5.7 ypc) and they also completed 12 of 25 passes for 124 yards.  The Texans finished up tied with the Titans with a 6-10 record for third place in the AFC South.
