re: To fans of Houston Texans: Gary Kubiak

Not a Texans fan, but I live in DC so I've seen every Ravens game this year (he is currently Ravens OC).
Kubiak is a finesse coach who prefers the running game. I noticed that his zone run scheme is solid and big plays are to be had in the play action game. The problem is, its a soft run game. Linemen are small and agile (good between the 20's) but they cannot bow up in short yardage situations. There are also droughts where the offense will go an entire quarter without a first down. In week 17, he had a 3rd & Goal and a 4th & Goal from the 1, and on consecutive plays he tried to pull linemen...stuffed both times obviously; so he can make some headscratching calls.
Having said that, Flacco has posted his best-ever numbers as a pro under Kubiak. Justin Forsette is leading the NFL in yds per carry. There are tangible positives, but I prefer a more physical style of offensive football fwiw.

Excellent assessment. That describes his time in Houston perfectly. Good offense overall, but it sucked in the redzone. Look at how many career TDs Andre Johnson has, for example.
