That incompletion is on Schaub because it's not a well thrown ball , but OD gets himself popped by juggling the ball across the middle of the field. The ball is thrown away from contact. But any time you are bobbling the ball in the middle of the field the defense will have time to catch up and pop you. A cleanly caught ball puts him on the ground before they get there. I put a big hit on the QB when he throws high or late across the middle.
TJ played well. But Schaub played far better tonight and moved the offense up and down the field even with a number of catchable passes being dropped.
Again, 281 yards, no TOs, and the only redzone appearance without a TD was when they kicked a FG with time expiring on 1st down. That is fantastic production (and with no Foster or Hopkins). The only reasonable concern on the whole 1st team offense is RT (and maybe LG, Jones had some highs and lows).
