Unfortunately the NFL removed the youtube clip from this preseason where Dobbins laid a monster hit on Aaron Rodgers. That was a beauty.

On NFL Network on Demand you can watch a 10 minute recap of the games. It basically shows just the scoring drives. It's great when you don't get to see a game. I'll have to check out the Houston game when they put it out later this week.

Re: For those that have yet to see Sage..

Also here is a quick look at some stats comparing Shaub and Sage

In 11 games
Matt has thrown 192/289 for 2241yrds 9tds 9ints QB rating of 87.2 sacked 16times and has had 7 fumbles and lost 3

In 6 games
Sage has thrown 105/159 for 1123yrds 11tds 7ints QB rating of 91.3 sacked 5 times and has 4 fumbles and 3 lost
(4 of those ints came in the Ten. game when sage was put in and houston was down 31-7 and came back only to lose 38-36)


So why does Matt still start??

Many, many Texan's fans believe Sage should be the starting QB...even when Matt returns from his injury which will probably be next year...

Because those numbers don't look too dissimilar to me. I don't think there's really anything there that suggests Sage should be starting over Schaub. Sage is doing exactly what you want a backup QB to do: managing the game and keeping his team in it even without their starter. Seneca was pretty good at that in Seattle when Hasselbeck got hurt last year.

Schaub is playing pretty well for a first year starter. Houston made a big investment in him, and they're not going to give up on him just because his backup is playing well.
