I really hope that, in the case of Schaub, that Titans game was indicative of a huge step forward he has taken in his development since the beginning of the season. Against the Titans in week 2 and the Steelers in week 1, he looked bad while getting beat up and sacked a lot. Our O-line improved a good bit over the course of the season, but if you look at that last Titan game in week 15 you will still see Schaub getting sacked a lot and knocked around constantly. But the difference between the two games is that Schaub didn't let it get into his head in the 2nd game and didn't make costly mental mistakes that generated turnovers. Consequently the game was managed and we won the game. It was a huge deal to me that he dealt with that pressure, because even if our O-line continues to improve we are still going to run into buzz-saw defenses like Tennessee and Pittsburgh on a regular basis and those Ds will get to your QB one way or another. But if Matt can pick himself up off the ground and keep going like nothing happened, then this team will drastically reduce the turnovers next season and really be a contender.
