Is the Texans' offensive line good enough to protect Matt Schaub?
The Texans had a busy offseason, but failed to add any new offensive linemen. Jordan Black was the only signing for the line. David Carr was the least-protected quarterback in the league over the past five years. While the Texans kept drafting blockers, few developed into solid pass protectors.

The result was the release of Carr and the acquisition of a whole new backfield. Schaub, who backed up Michael Vick in Atlanta, will have former Packers Ahman Green and Vonta Leach in the backfield. But the whole success of the offense comes down to the offensive line. Black, Chester Pitts, Mike Flanagan, Fred Weary and Eric Winston have to keep the quarterback upright.

Is the Texans' offensive line good enough to protect Matt Schaub? Heck, no! It was terrible for Carr last year, and it won't suddenly turn around because of Jordan Black. The offensive line was this team's #1 area of need for offseason improvement, we all know that. That they did so little to actually improve there goes to show that a serious overhaul of the front office is called for.

Not really. Another stereotypical pocket passer. He's gonna get killed if they don't get him some protection.

well its pretty much too late for this season

too bad these QBs are basically cut down before they get a chance

Only time will tell, but I think our O-Line is better than everyone thinks. Carr's departure made our O-Line better.

Remember you heard it first here.
