Texans Pro Bowl receiver Andre Johnson is embracing new quarterback Matt Schaub. And, in so doing, Johnson is taking a jab or two at former Texans quarterback David Carr.

Stephanie Stradley of AOL's FanHouse points out some Johnson comments from earlier in the month regarding the differences between Schaub and Carr.

"When you look at, the differences that I see is that with David [Carr] you had to wait on the ball a little bit more," Johnson said. "With Matt, he's pretty decisive with what he's doing. He's going to get back in his drop and let the ball go. When you're in your rout[e], you don't have to wait on the ball or anything like that."

Though Johnson's words don't quite fall into the "we would have been undefeated with Brett Favre" category, the fact that they initially appeared on the team's official web site suggests that the franchise is happy to aid and abet any knocks on the guy whom the franchise selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2002 draft.

Did he watch any of the film at practice. The reason he had to wait on the ball was that Carr was running for his life. Schaub will learn the same lesson in his first game.

I agree, texans offensive line suckz..however, I think schaub will be better than carr was..

This is a cheap shot. Carr was always running for his life. Unless the line improves, I dont think Schaub will do much better. (Hope he has a good pair of running shoes)

Oh goodie. Another NFL player throwing an ex-teammate under the bus. Let's see how good Schaub does under game conditions, eh, Johnson? When he's stuck behind the same horrible o-line Carr had for all these seasons. Then we'll see what happens to his release when he gets banged up and gunshy. I'd love to see teams start to impose fines when these idiots open their mouths and spew bs like this. Really, what good does it do anyone?
