The first two questions Gary Kubiak fielded at his Monday news conference were about the teams red zone offense.
In each answer, he mentioned checking the ball down.
First: "We had a lot of second-and-nines down there from that standpoint, but we got to make the small plays whether you check a ball down on a three or four-yard pass. Youve got to do that so youre giving yourself a legitimate chance."
A chance at what? A closer field goal?
Second: "We got played the other day in a bunch of quarters defense, people sitting on the goal line makes it tough to get behind people, those types of things. If people are going to play you that way, you got to run the ball efficiently. Youve got to check the ball down efficiently."
Houston QB Matt Schaub and coach Gary Kubiak will each need to be aggressive in order to defeat New England on Sunday.If you're already in field goal range, what's the benefit of super-efficient checking down, exactly? To prove to a defense you know how to answer the coverage they are calling to keep you out of the end zone by calling plays that keep you out of the end zone?
I'm confused.
