Texans start over with new QBs

Found November 30, 2011 on Fox Sports:
PLAYERS: Gary Kubiak,  T.J. Yates,  Jake Delhomme,  Kellen Clemens,  Matt Schaub,  Matt Leinart
TEAMS: Houston Texans,  Cleveland Browns
Houston_texans_v_9a1e
Texans coach Gary Kubiak faced the big question after Wednesday's practice he's probably asked himself several times over the past few days. How's this going to work? Rookie quarterback T.J. Yates and rusty veterans Jake Delhomme and Kellen Clemens shared snaps for the Texans (8-3) as they scrambled to prepare for Sunday's game against Atlanta (7-4). Yates, a fifth-round pick out of North Carolina, will start. Houston is virtually starting from scratch after season-ending injuries to quarterbacks Matt Schaub (broken right foot) and Matt Leinart (broken left collarbone) in consecutive games. Kubiak says the situation is ''interesting,'' and something he never faced, even as an offensive coordinator earlier in his career. But he says the team remains upbeat and confident it can continue winning.

HOUSTON -- It is a near certainty that the person who has watched Super Bowl XLIV the most is an Atlanta Falcons fan who went to college in North Carolina. That was the one with Drew Brees in it, and Brees' lasting contribution to football, it appears, will be inspiring an entire generation of smallish quarterbacks to succeed in nontraditional ways.
