No gain
Texans acquire quarterback Matt Schaub: This is no knock on Schaub's ability. In preseason and in his limited role with the Falcons, Schaub earned the right to be considered the next starting quarterback in the league. The problem for Schaub is the surrounding cast. Except for the aging Ahman Green (an offseason addition), Schaub plays behind the same offense that brought down David Carr. The Eric Moulds trade didn't work out, so Schaub has to make the best out of Kevin Walters on the other side of Andre Johnson.

10 yard penalty
Rams sign wide receiver Drew Bennett: Somehow, Vince Young, through pure will, pulled off an 8-5 stretch run that enabled him to win Rookie of the Year honors and put the team at .500. Losing Bennett to the Rams won't help. Bennett was a tall target who helped move the chains. He goes to the Rams as a quality end zone threat and a possession receiver. Young lost two of this top three receivers -- Bennett and Bobby Wade. Young lost Travis Henry and might lose unrestricted free agent Chris Brown. If Brown also leaves, Young is without two of his three top running backs from last season. The Titans were hoping to move forward with their offense, not backward.
