In Texans news tonight, former Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak and current Oakland Raiders starting quarterback Matt Schaub routinely faced criticism for their conservative approach to offense during their time together in Texas.
Per Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk, Schaub told Jerry McDonald of the Bay Area News Group that he is finding life in Oakland "stimulating" after spending so much time in the system in Houston - especially the level of control given to him by Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson -
“It’s exciting. It’s just like going to a new place and getting a fresh start. To come to an offense where the coach is looking to give you more freedom, and looking to give you more control of things. I had that in some aspects in Houston, but there are things I’m being asked to do here that I didn’t have control of in Houston. I would have loved to, but we just weren’t in control of it. To now be in that position, and being the quarterback, that’s such a great place to be because you can get everyone on the same page.”
Schaub had been a consistently solid performer for the Texans until last season's debacle - a season which the Raiders are banking on as being a blip on Schaub's career radar screen.
