I bet that would rule.

So many like to throw stones as Schaubly......here are some sad but true facts about the Texans D:
In the last twelve games played, the Texans have allowed eleven drives of 70 yards are longer. Five of these games allowed drives over 80 yards.
Dating back to Sunday vs. Jacksonville followed four days later by Thursday at Detroit (Thanksgiving Day), the Texans won each of these games in OT, but allowed Jacksonville and Detroit to each score over 30 points.
This is when the Texans as an entire team started to slide only winning FIVE of the last NINE games played.
That is the bad and here is some good:
Texans D has only allowed 3 TD's in the last nine quarters played: Ravens, Tennessee and last quarter on opening night against San Diego.
Texans D held the Ravens to only 16 points......you should be able to beat a team when the Defense holds them to 16 points.
I don't know, Rob?
Rothlisberger has looked very meager in the two primetime games I've watched this season.
There is no doubt Rothlisberger would respond better under pressure......but when was the last time Rothlisberger threw for over 4000 yards? Schaubs done so the each of the past three seasons.
In Rothlisberger's lack of mobility, I'm guessing he is still more mobile than Schaubly!
