Rockerbraves Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 i grabbed Carr in the WW and well, he got the memo and like the rest of my "locks", he bombed like a warfighter. Was wondering what happen. My TE Daniels got a TD yet Carr has no TD's today. Looked it up and apparently his backup has thrown for two TD's. Hmmm...

Looked it up and apparently his backup has thrown for two TD's. Hmmm... My pickup TE this week really earned his TD!! (8:05) S.Rosenfels pass short middle to O.Daniels for 26 yards, TOUCHDOWN. Play Challenged by TEN and REVERSED. S.Rosenfels pass short middle to O.Daniels to TEN 1 for 25 yards (A.Jones). (7:40) S.Rosenfels pass short left to O.Daniels for 1 yard, TOUCHDOWN.

Ziachild007 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 he was benched for his performance. you thought i was lying up there? No he wasn't. He was benched for piss poor play by the O-line. Rosenfels has looked suprisingly good, but I still say Carr shouldn't have gotten the hook so quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosenfels has looked suprisingly good, but I still say Carr shouldn't have gotten the hook so quick. riiight. the HC said "man, that O-line sucks. Pull Carr" w0rd. I'm not debating whether or not they should've pulled him, I couldn't care less. But he was pulled not because of an injury, and not because of a blow out. So that only leaves one...

Have you been watching the whole game??? I guess you didn't see him get blindsided by the DL on both fumbles then. I like Kubiak and think over the long haul he will be a good coach, but this is the same guy who brought in Ron "Tubbs" Dayne to be the feature RB.

Kubiak said "wow, that o-line is total crap. Put in the backup!"? Or are you saying the HC placed blame on Carr that you feel should be placed on the o-line?

Ziachild007 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Carr still the starter for now. Carr still the one October 29, 2006 By Nick Schenck HoustonTexans.com Head coach Gary Kubiak knew the quarterback questions would come, so he decided to be proactive. Speaking to the media after the Texans’ 28-22 loss at Tennessee, Kubiak quickly ended any speculation about whether David Carr would remain the team’s starting quarterback. “David’s our quarterback,” Kubiak said. “He’ll be right back next week.” Carr retains the role despite being benched in the second half after his second fumble of the game—both fumbles were recovered by the Titans. Kubiak warned Carr at halftime that if he didn’t hold on to the ball better, he would be replaced by backup Sage Rosenfels. With 12:07 left in the third quarter, Carr was sacked for a seven-yard loss by defensive end Travis LaBoy, and the ball popped loose. Safety Lamont Thompson recovered at the Tennessee 30. On the Texans’ next possession, Rosenfels lined up behind center. “That’s what I told (David) I was going to do,” Kubiak said, “and I’m a man of my word.” Rosenfels led the Texans’ comeback from a 21-3 deficit, throwing three touchdowns in the process. Ultimately, the Texans came up short, but Rosenfels’ performance was admirable. He completed 18 of 25 passes for 186 yards. His one interception, which came on his first pass attempt, was tipped by wide receiver Andre Johnson. “I told you he’s a fine football player,” Kubiak said of Rosenfels. “Even though he’s not playing week-to-week, he’s as locked in a football player and locked in a pro as I’ve ever been around. He’s got a sense about him on the field. Very sharp in what he’s doing. That’s why he’s here. That’s why we went and got him. He’s very prepared to play, and his teammates know that if something happens to David, he’s going to come in and do a good job. I’m proud of him. He did a good job.” Kubiak was careful not to put all the blame on Carr, who was sacked four times in six drives. But Kubiak wanted to make sure he got his point across to the fifth-year signal-caller. “It’s not all about David,” Kubiak said. “He was under pressure. He did get hit. But when I coach a quarterback, even if you’re getting hit, you have to protect the ball. That’s just part of it. We have to do that better. Should we have protected better? You’re going to find a lot of guys in that room that are going to take that blame for not protecting as well as we can protect. I can guarantee you that. But I just want (David) to understand his responsibility for protecting the football.” Kubiak and Carr spoke in the locker room after the game, and Carr heard the news that he would not lose his starting job, something that he’s thankful for. “It means a lot to me,” Carr said. “Obviously, I had a chance to think about a lot of things on the sideline today. I realized that he’s tough on me, for a reason, though. Obviously, I’m not dead. I’m not in a casket. So it’s going to make me stronger as a person. Sitting on the sidelines there, you can reflect on a lot of things. It was tough for me, but I just want to apologize to my teammates and the guys that came down here—Mr. McNair and the coaching staff. It just wasn’t my best effort.” Carr apologized to Kubiak for reacting angrily when he was initially taken out of the game. Later on in the second half, Carr could be seen helping Rosenfels on the sideline between series. “It was a different vantage point for me,” Carr said. “It’s something I haven’t done. I haven’t watched too many times my offense on the field without me out there. I felt bad because I kind of let them down today. And that was the thing that hurt the most. I don’t feel bad for myself. I feel bad for my teammates.” Rosenfels took Kubiak’s announcement in stride. He has been in this position before when he played for the Miami Dolphins. “Of course you want to play, and that’s what I want to do,” Rosenfels said. “If anyone knows what’s best for this football team, it’s coach Kubiak. He’s going to do what he feels is best for this football team, and I support his decision 100 percent. “The only thing I can compare it to is last year I was in a similar situation. We played Buffalo and came back in the fourth quarter from a 23-3 game and we won, and I was named the backup the next week. That’s the way it goes. I stuck with the plan…So I’m going to keep chugging away and working hard and try to help this team out in practice and in games and whenever my opportunity is called.” The Texans have a team meeting Monday, and begin preparations for the New York Giants on Wednesday. At that time, Carr will assume his starting duties once again, and Kubiak has no doubt that today’s experience in Tennessee will help him in that job. “I’ve been through this with quarterbacks,” Kubiak said. “I went through this with Steve Young. In order to be a great player in this league, you’re going to go through this. How you come out of it is what is important. (David) is going to come out of it fine. I just had a long talk with him. He is a wonderful kid. He’s a battler. He will be back battling this week.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockerbraves Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Never understood why coaches don't bench their starting QB's more often. Why is the QB role any different than any other position in football where subbing is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
