Califan007 The Constipated Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d823000f1/article/raiders-kelly-texans-qb-schaub-could-have-scored-winner?module=HP11_headline_stack The Houston Texans had a chance to score the winning touchdown on the last play of Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders, but quarterback Matt Schaub served up an interception in the end zone to seal his team's 25-20 loss.Raiders defensive tackle Tommy Kelly couldn't have been happier with the play's outcome. In fact, he said after the game that Schaub could have scored a touchdown had he made the right decision. "Old boy choked," Kelly said with a laugh, according to the Houston Chronicle. "All he had to do was run it in. He choked, simple as that." Schaub hadn't heard Kelly's comment when he talked to the media, but the quarterback offered his own assessment of the play.

Botched Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 That was a ridiculous play. They practically handed the Texans the win on a silver platter. Even Rex Grossman scores a TD there. Well....maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Tomb Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 That's pretty funny. I saw the play live and I definitely thought he was going to run it in. The left-hand side of the field was wide open, only a safety to beat. Schaub panicked. Nothing else to see there. Terrible pass - thought he could loft it up over Huff. Oh well - Schaub does have a tendency to choke in big time situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Operations Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 He's still a good QB. He'll have a lot of success in his career. of course I'm biased, though, as he's a fellow UVA grad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairRedskin Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I thought Cooley was the only player in the history of the NFL classless enough to say another player choked? How very outrageous of Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 He was going to get tackled by the safety. I'm pretty sure that Schaub wasn't going to truck him like Delhomme did to Deangelo Hall a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that Schaub wasn't going to truck him like Delhomme did to Deangelo Hall a few years back. no kidding this is what i thought during the game. it looked at first as if he had an open lane, but it closed very quickly and he would have been tackled 3 or 4 yards short of the line.

elkabong82 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have Schaub on 1 of my fantasy teams, so I was watching that game near the end, he wasn't going to get in. That being said, I'll be looking out for Graziano's article bashing Kelly for the choke comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I thought he could've run it in, but when I saw the replay...yeah, that was just good safety defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEREALTOR1 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I thought he could've run it in, but when I saw the replay...yeah, that was just good safety defense. I was thinking the same thing, and my head still tells me he wouldn't of made it, but I still wonder if he'd made an attempt to run to the corner if that would have been enough to draw huff away from his guy (jones I think) to try and come up while the safety would have also been pressing him to the sideline, and as long as jones continues towards the middle of the endzone he might've drawn the defender towards him just enough to get seperation to make the play, but it still would've been a long shot.

Agreed. No way he gets in. I agree 100%, I was like what are the announcers talking about that safety would have killed him. His mistake was the pass itself, he could have layed it up over the cover guy for an easy six. He just tried to flip it and it was not there.

Skin'Em84 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I may be wrong, but he had a good chance to get the pass in going to number 85 while he was still in the pocket. The TE was covered, but the pass would've had a better chance than anything else he would've thrown; Jacoby Jones could not pull a Megatron on that jump ball there.

paloosa Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Who cares? Kelly is an overrated and overpaid tackle that has never been to the Pro Bowl with the contract he was given a few years back. So he has no room to talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
