And good posts, DB.

Agreed, but we have also almost completely stopped using the outside zone plays.. Which would eliminate the inside pressure Wilford was between the guards.

Dude is winning playoff games as a head coach, yet there's always some reason to be unhappy about it, I guess.

Funny thing is how many act like they KNOW, when in fact they know nothing. Kubiak is from a branch on the Bill Walsh coaching tree, so it makes sense that he's using a lot of the strategy, plays, and concepts from Walsh's WCO. The big play call sheet is one of those tools at his disposal.

But, NOBODY will be the second coming of Bill Walsh. He was that special and there is a reason why he's become a benchmark for head coaches.

However, my point was that Kubiak's lineage comes from a tree that has grown many championship coaches. He's using a proven system that has been behind many NFL championships with different teams.

We can see incremental improvements with this team. Yeah, they screwed the pooch by missing out on HFA, just like they did...when? Oh yeah, never. Just having a chance at HFA was a first time for this franchise, and they still have to learn how to deal with success.

So-called "baby steps" can be frustrating for impatient fans (myself included), but there is definitely an upward curve to this franchise's history under Kubiak. Hopefully that trend doesn't stop until there's a shiny silver trophy involved.

Will someone rep this guy, please? It won't let me. DB

We didn't have Graham; I said that before the game that it would hinder our chance. We did run some outside zone with better results than the inside zone a d gap plays, but not as good as it's normally is with Graham in there.
