Matt Schaub started his taking part in profession as an Atlanta Falcon and ended it as an Atlanta Falcon, with just a few stops in between. Now he’ll proceed to be a part of the Falcons group in 2023, simply with out the opportunity of him getting into a sport in reduction of the beginning quarterback.

Credit score goes to the eagle-eyed Daniel Flick for first noticing and reporting on this, however the crew has added Schaub to their teaching workers. Schaub had been seen at Falcons camp this previous week, and the crew has now listed him as a soccer analyst on their teaching workers web page. In that position, Schaub will probably carry his wealth of NFL expertise to bear to assist the crew put together gameplans and break down opponents.

It’s pure to wonder if he may also help with quarterback teaching duties, at the very least in some very small methods, on condition that Dave Ragone is at the moment pulling double responsibility because the crew’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach after Charles London took a passing sport coordinator gig in Tennessee. Schaub actually ought to have one thing to supply Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke after placing collectively a 16 12 months NFL profession as a starter and backup, together with a pair of Professional Bowl nods throughout a productive run with the Houston Texans. That’s mere hypothesis on our elements, although, nevertheless logical the match could also be.

Schaub was initially a 3rd spherical decide for the Falcons in 2004, a kind of uncommon third spherical quarterback success tales. Traded to the Houston Texans in 2007 shortly at first imploded for Atlanta, Schaub would lead the NFL in completions, passing makes an attempt, and yardage in 2009 and made two Professional Bowls in seven years as a starter in Houston. He then had a tremendous profession as a backup the remainder of his lengthy profession, ending up again in Atlanta and setting the only season report for completions (39) in an sudden spot begin for an injured Matt Ryan in 2019. He retired in 2021 after spending 5 extra seasons in Atlanta, the type of full-circle profession that made Schaub a little bit of a minor legend in Atlanta.

Now he’s again once more, launching a training profession that he probably hopes will sometime take him into teaching quarterbacks and even total offenses. We want him effectively and we’re glad to see him again.
