Gary Kubiak's Monday Afternoon Press Conference Before The Playoff Opener: Secrets Revealed!

PrintWell, maybe not so much "secrets" as "interesting nuggets." I may have overplayed my hand a bit with that headline. My apologies. Highlights after the jump.
From this afternoon's presser:
(on QB TJ Yates’ shoulder injury) "It’s a shoulder injury to his non-throwing shoulder, which we talked about that yesterday. He is feeling pretty good today. He is sore. Like I said, we still think he could have came back in the game yesterday. All indications are that he will be ready to go next weekend. Obviously we got to get him back on the practice field and to feel good and confident about that, but all indications are that we will get there and do it day-to-day. As far as all that other stuff, I don’t know. We’ll see how he does.
(on if he’s concerned about anyone injury-wise) "We came out of the game, (Derek) Newton’s has a hip issue he is dealing with; he will be day-to-day. (Bryan) Braman has a stinger, he will be day-to-day. Jason Allen had some back spasms yesterday, was unable to play in the second half. He will be day-to-day. That’s the four biggest guys as we move forward. Then of course we are hoping that (Mike) Brisiel is back on the field this week, probably know a little bit more about him tomorrow, but the hope is that he will be able to contribute to us next weekend."
A Mike Brisiel return would further cement my working theory that fractured legs are the new hangnail at Reliant Park. Back to the highlights:
(on if QB TJ Yates is still the starter) "If he can play, he is going to play. He played really well yesterday. He was really sharp early in the game, continues to do good stuff, as I’ve told ya’ll. He is very young and this is a big, big game, but he’s the best guy for our football team and if he is able to go and do the things that we need him to do in practice, then we will turn him loose and let him go."
(on how he gets players ready for the playoffs) "You can talk about it all you want, but they have to go experience it. They’ll see the energy; they’ll see the difference in the speed of play and the energy when they show up on Saturday. We’ve got a few guys that can talk to them about it. Antonio (Smith) got it started right after the game when he talked to the team yesterday but they’ll see the energy build this week. They’ll see what it’s all about and like I said it won’t take them long, probably two or three plays on Saturday, to see that the tempo just went up. But it’s time to get some experience and this is where we want to go as an organization and playing games like this, win a championship Sunday, we have to learn to do this. Looking forward to the first one."
(on who will start at the other corner now that CB Johnathan Joseph is back) "Kareem (Jackson) will still start. I mean, this team is going to make you play everybody. They made us play a bunch of Nickel the first time we played them. They’re very capable of spreading you out and doing those type of things like Tennessee did to us yesterday. Kareem could have played better yesterday, a lot of guys could. He needs to find the ball better in a couple of situations. He was in good position and didn’t finish the play, but for the most part he’s had a good year and it’s time for him to be even better."
I don't even have a joke here. The ongoing praise of Kareem Jackson in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary has become one of the mysteries of the faith for Texans fans.
(on if it helps to have so many coaches with playoff experience) "Oh, no doubt. No doubt, yeah. I think if anything, it keeps you from doing too much. Well, it’s kind of hard to do too much right now because of the pretty short night for us and one day to get ready to go, so maybe that’s a good thing."
(on how the fans can help the team on Saturday) "Well, they can help us by being real loud. They’ve been that way all year, but I know this city is excited about Saturday afternoon. I just want them to know how excited we are as a football team. We’re looking forward to going to battle with them. That’s the key. We’re all in this together. It’s a big, big game for everybody. We’re looking forward to giving our best effort, and I know we’ll get theirs."
And finally...
(on if FS Danieal Manning will return kickoffs in the playoffs) "That will definitely happen. Danieal will go back there. Jacoby (Jones) will take the punts. We’ll go back to full strength. We’ve been working that way the last couple of weeks, so that will definitely happen."Bengals vs Texans coverage

Prob busting out that old reverse during the return play

Off topic real quick.
Colts with a big shake up in their management. They may actually hire someone competent to make the right football decisions when bringing in talent to put around the QB.
Also:
(on who will start at the other corner now that CB Johnathan Joseph is back) “Kareem (Jackson) will still start. I mean, this team is going to make you play everybody. They made us play a bunch of Nickel the first time we played them. They’re very capable of spreading you out and doing those type of things like Tennessee did to us yesterday. Kareem could have played better yesterday, a lot of guys could. He needs to find the ball better in a couple of situations. He was in good position and didn’t finish the play, but for the most part he’s had a good year and it’s time for him to be even better.”
I see nothing false about this statement.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Jason Allen missing the second half makes sense now. At least Brandon Harris got play time.
Yeah her got burned badly for a TD but at he got some valuable experience.
Brisiel coming back would be a nice boost if he’s not to limited by that leg.
I’d still rather have Demps or somebody else doing KR’s for Manning.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
watch the 2nd half
of the Bengals game to see Brisiel limited. He was limping throughout the hurry-up, and that turned out ok for us.
He did have a false start or two, but dude was a beast.
TJ must throw 30 times for us to win.
I still come to Harris's defense on that play a bit
I believe he was expecting Demps to drop back into coverage. You can see he pulled up a bit before deciding to get back at it. At least Harris attempted to find the ball on that play!
My thoughts are like Brian Cushing on the field: Everywhere.
and that catch
was friggin amazing he held onto it seriously harris popped him hard!

This is the first time I ever heard of Kubiak acknowledging this issue. Kubes must be getting tired of watching Kareem flailing his arms in a hopeless attempt to play ‘pass defense’.

I'm so glad that Manning will be returning kick-offs!
His vision during returns is pretty damn awesome. He doesn’t fool around; he makes his cut and flies down field.
My thoughts are like Brian Cushing on the field: Everywhere.
After the first few weeks I think Manning kinda wore down. He wasn't breaking the long returns like earlier in the year.
Letting a reserve like Demps do the heavy lifting there would be a better alternative to me. But whatever.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Somebody called him out on his show at twin peaks.
Straight up asked him why he wasn’t running as hard. I laughed, Danieal didn’t.

I doubt it.
“returning” is hardly used in tandem with the word “kickoffs” anymore. Kubiak must have had some sort of slip of the tongue.
Quote and question.
(on if FS Danieal Manning will return kickoffs in the playoffs) "That will definitely happen. Danieal will go back there. Jacoby (Jones) will take the punts. We’ll go back to full strength. We’ve been working that way the last couple of weeks, so that will definitely happen."
Of course this could change between now and Saturday.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Kubiak mis-spoke.
What he meant to say was “kneeling the ball 8 yards deep in the endzone” on kickoffs.
Ha yeah that's probably going to be the case. I don't think we got any returns in the first match up.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
all part of the plan
why run it back when the game(s) mean nothing?
TJ must throw 30 times for us to win.
Ha Blackmon is a goddamn monster. Easily the best WR and best overall college football player this year.
I hope the Jags don’t get a shot at him.
Poor Andrew Luck. Got screwed by hi kicker twice.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Yes he is
How bad ass would it be to have him and AJ on the same team.
Jules=Now I want you to go in that bag and find my wallet
Ringo=which one is it
Jules=the one that says bad mother fucker!
Nice to think about but impossible unless we made a Falcons like trade.
I think the Rams take him at #2 and pair him with Bradford.
Barring the new management of the Colts not taking Luck and doing something unexpected.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
If I'm the Rams GM
I take Kalil or trade down just enough to get some extra picks and the next best tackle prospect. Blackmon is nice but not worth more than your franchise player’s health.
Madame de Staël once said, "One must choose in life between boredom and suffering." De Staël is dead but there is always an alternative.
This is where the cool is.
You can't pass on a talent like Blackmon.
They can easily get OL help in the later rounds and free agency. Blackmon has elite WR potential ( I’m taking Calvin Johnson,AJ, Fitz talent) that’s not easy to come by.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
You can't pass on a talent like Kalil
Potential to be an elite LT and the guy to protect Bradford’s blindside for the next decade +. Best prospect at his position since Joe Thomas. No brainer. They can get WR help from the deep draft pool and free agency if need be.
Madame de Staël once said, "One must choose in life between boredom and suffering." De Staël is dead but there is always an alternative.

Joe Thomas.
The LT tackle for a team with no playmakers on offense. An offense that is horrible but hey they have a great LT that can’t help his QB by catching passes or running the football…
Rams need hep everywhere and with Steven Jackson aging they need somebody to take the load off Bradford in the passing game (30th in the NFL BTW). Hell they average a mind blowing 12 points per game. Take Balckmon to give Bradford what he hasn’t had since leaving OU (a playmaker at WR) and get a quality LT in the 2nd since they pick high again anyways. Or a stop gap solution in FA and grab one in the 1st in 2013 to groom into a starter if that’s not done this offseason.
I’ve seen Bradford make average WR’s look decent. With a talent like Blackmon he might shake that bust label people are trying to put on him.

Lol, What.

His rookie year they basically lost all their WR's to injury then some of the guys they brought in
Yet he still had some decent passing days and made a couple of those guys look decent.. Didn’t see much this year but he’s got talent to excel with the proper weapons around him.
I think the same of Colt McCoy.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Just messing with you.
He’s got cheese-tons of potential. He could be Matt Stafford V.2, in that he got labeled “bust” because of injury, and then emerges with a great year. (Although he’ll need a Megatron first.)

He made Donnie Avery look legit
and then Hassleback killed all of Bradford’s hard work.
Damn you vile woman, you've impeded my work since the day I escaped your vile womb ...
Or do my second option
And trade down and get the next best tackle prospect and a load of picks. Get a few good young receivers and help in that secondary. If they don’t take Kalil (which would be a mistake) then to me they HAVE to trade down. They cannot value a WR over the franchise’s best interest. Whether that is taking a guy to protect your franchise or getting the picks to help them all over.
Madame de Staël once said, "One must choose in life between boredom and suffering." De Staël is dead but there is always an alternative.

See my posts below.
Taking Kalil when they already have two young Tackles on the team would be dumb.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Just because they suck at drafting there doesn't mean you don't take need
Fact is their O-line almost got Bradford killed. That line is horribad. They need help and the guy that will be on the board at #2 can help them. Don’t get me wrong now, Blackmon for them makes some sense. If they want their backup throwing to him.

Al I'm saying is that they have a 1st round and a 2nd round pick at OT
Two young players with better coaching could be two very good pass blockers. It makes no sense to invest that money and draft picks in two players then just a couple years later do the same thing. Jason Smith already didn’t work out and they get him the same spot they would get Kalil.
On top of that the Rams had several injuries along that line that contributed to bad pass blocking. Not so much a lack of talent.
Bradford needs help in terms of guys to throw to. His numbers took a massive drop from his rookie year and that’s directly attributed to the fact he has no one to throw to. That’s why they traded for Brandon Lloyd and he instantly became the go to guy.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Kalil is IMO the best player in the draft
I’d take him first if I were the Colts (well I’d trade but w/e) This draft is full of WR talent and they can sna a quality one at 34. Kalil however is one of a kind nobody is gonna fuck with my quarterback kind of tackle. I dont think they can pass on him.
by BC5 on Jan 3, 2012 1:23 AM CST up reply actions
It's full of talent.
But only one Blackmon. I see a lot of slot like guys like Kendall Wright but not guys who can physically dominate like JB.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Jason Smith is a bust for them at LT so he might get bumped inside
Saffold could swing to the right side. Take Kalil and all of a sudden their O-line isn’t so bad then.
Madame de Staël once said, "One must choose in life between boredom and suffering." De Staël is dead but there is always an alternative.
This is where the cool is.
Smith could also get cut
Madame de Staël once said, "One must choose in life between boredom and suffering." De Staël is dead but there is always an alternative.

And like Winston needs to.
Damn you vile woman, you've impeded my work since the day I escaped your vile womb ...
+1
Winston is going to cost us another Schaub season next year the way he whiffs on speed rushers.
That situation is getting desperate. It has to be fixed ASAP, which is too bad considering how badly we need a nose tackle upgrade and another dependable producer at NT.
Read my posts below.
Smith is their RT now. 2nd pick from 2010 is the LT.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
My bad
Either way he struggles there. If he can’t make it work with a move to the inside, then he is cut. They still would need a tackle either way.
Madame de Staël once said, "One must choose in life between boredom and suffering." De Staël is dead but there is always an alternative.

Why not pick up Dasean Jackson
and draft Kalil? sounds like a better plan IMo

Dude is a one dimensional player.
And a potential cancer. Besides I think they could get Blackmon for cheaper with the draft cap.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
They already have a lot of money tied up in their 1st round picks.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
What about Reggie Wayne?
Stevie Johnson possibly? I think they can pass on a WR early in the draft and not be fucked over by it. Dwight Jones Nick Toon Marvin Mcnutt all good choices at 34.
by BC5 on Jan 3, 2012 1:49 AM CST up reply actions
Wayne is almost done why waste time with him?
He sure as hell won’t waste the last year or two he has left in STL. Stevie Johnson is an even bigger cancer than D-Jack.
I think they can pass on a 280 pound tackle at #2 and not be screwed. They need playmakers on offense right now. Before the injuries piled up their OL was serviceable. They have young players there that could use some coaching up and development.
Plus since Mc Daniels may be gone along with Spags the new coach may put them into more of a West Coast style of offense that won’t make getting a OL a big deal.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Besides the Rams already have a 1st round Tackle on their team.
From 2009.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
I think he got hurt this year which didn't help the offense at all.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Ah wait I did some research.
He was drafted as a LT but got beaten out by a rookie tackle from their 2010 draft for the spot.
So yeah they already have a lot of young talent tied up in their Tackle position. To much to warrant drafting yet another Tackle in their spot at #2.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
In fact Blackmon would make even more sense considering the youth on offense.
They could all pretty much develop together.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.

Yeah but no way the Rams would do that.
Unless we straight up gave them Andre and maybe OD. Their offense is absolute shit and they need play makers at all spots.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Of course Texans wouldn't do that anyways but it'd take something like that.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Jacoby Jones and OD
I’d do it. We have Thor and Dreesen. Dreesen has more TDs than OD. He has more receptions than OD, too. At least then we’d have reason to get rid of this whole “WR 2.5” crap Kubiak pulled.

Owen leads the team with 54 catches. Besides that Joel only has 3 more TD’s than OD.
I wouldn’t trade both guys though for one player anyways.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
I wonder how far Montee Ball will fall.
He’d be a nice RB for the Browns. Only team in the top of the draft really hurting at RB.

Just wondering...
Let’s say you’re the Texans’ GM. The Rams come to you and offer you the 2nd overall pick and Chris Long for the Texans’ entire draft and Mario Williams. Do you take it?
Uh no.
Texans need more depth and may lose a lot of guys this year depending on various things.
They may need a new OLB if Mario is gone. Need at least 1 WR since that position is thin. Could use some OL depth. Jason Allen could be gone so may need a new CB. Some depth along the DL. A better starter at NT.
Not counting possible trades/releases (DeMeco?)
It’s tempting to go into the Falcons mindset and say (yeah we only need 1 guy right now) then realize you could have used those extra picks.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
I wouldn't.
I think with another quality draft (OL, WR – Dwight Jones or Nick Toon -NIIIIIIIIIIICE) and with our FO resigning Foster first, Myers second and Franchising Mario AND\ keeping Saint Wade -
We are a legit Superbowl contender.
I would go so far as to say we are the best team in the AFC.

I know we're homers
But look at the facts, we were the ONLY team in the NFL in the top 10 in offensive DVOA and defensive stats. Even with seemingly half our team on the IR.
Simple fact is, we have depth and loads of talent on both sides of the ball and I’d be hard pressed, other than N.O. to name a team who can score like we do (when fully healthy) and dominate you on D. (when fully healthy…)

This man....the sense he makes!
Seriously, I do think they can sign him, Foster, and Myers to new deals and have them all be cap friendly.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I hope, hope, hope
this is how it plays out.
But we signed like 50 QBs, 2 WRs and some other depth after our season started, so there’s obviously tons of cap space that us fans don’t know about.
TJ must throw 30 times for us to win.
There will be a lot of guys let go after the season
And some of it will be talented trade material. but Mario will have to work a deal like Andre and Schaub so there will be enough cap space to pick up our biggest needs in FA if can’t draft them. We have a wealthy team in terms of assets.

I think Lienart was 2 years, 2 mil.
somewhere in that neighborhood. But – I know there is “cap math” in there somehow I’m sure.
Agreed to cap math and the difficulty in really understanding where we are in terms thereof.
But desperately trying to figure out a way to keep Mario on this Defense. A full year in this system plus offseason plus Mario = Greatness. If R. Smith can pull it off, we factor in all the experience Reed/Watts got, and Wade stays home, we ain’t seen nothing yet in terms of how well this D can play.
I think Leinart will be gone next year.

Mario is currently 13 mil against the cap
they will sign him to a deal that reduces that to a number similar to Schaub (5.7 mil) and Andre (6 mil). Meco is at 5.8 mil, I see that coming down. and Winston will prolly restructure from 4.5 mil. There is more room with some of the other players if needed.

Division Champion Houston Texans
Hi My name is Jack, why don't you help me off?
If he had been a 4th, 5th, or 6th rounder
I would have no problem at all with his current progression. But he’s a 1st rounder. Now granted, his first year DC was Frank Bush (please don’t ban me for bad language) and that may be a good explanation for his first year stats. But just about every other player on the Texans D has shown a MARKED improvement over last year (Meco the possible exception…not sure what’s going on there) except really for Kareem. Even Jason Allen put up respectable stats this year. But how many times have opponents this year driven down the field to score by throwing Kareem’s way? Too often. My point is for the 1st round money we’re paying him, we could cut him and go get an average guy for half the price who would be better. Pay Kareem 4th, 5th, or 6th round money, I’d have no problem keeping him. But not for what he’s making right now.
He has improved
Not nearly enough, but he has to a degree.
It’s amazing how hard locating the ball has become for today’s CB’s. Jaques Reeves was the perfect example of a CB that was almost always in perfect position with his man but could NEVER look back for the ball. How did something so instinctual become so difficult for today’s CB’s?
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
Wild speculation
Trying to avoid early contact with the receiver, since you so much as breathe on one and get called for a penalty? (Note, this is obviously not successful).
Did Jackson show this problem in college?

Not sure about his college play
I don’t watch a lot of college ball any more so maybe someone else can shed some light on that.
You make a good point about avoiding contact. Back in the day a CB could be looking back to the QB well before the ball was thrown because he was allowed to get away with using his hands all the way down the field, so long as the receiver was also using his hands for positioning. In today’s game it’s all lopsided to the offense. Receivers seem to be allowed to get away with a lot more while CB’s can’t even sneeze on them or they’re flagged. Hell, they’re not even allowed to tackle them hard without drawing a roughing call!
Maybe that’s it. I’m just glad some guys like Jo Jo are still able to use their instinct and find the ball.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
To be fair,
If I were a receiver, I really wouldn’t want a corner to sneeze on me. That’s how diseases get spread.

I don't remember him being a standout
I didn’t think he was the shutdown corner at Bama. I thought that was Arenas. I watched that whole season of Bama football, and I don’t remember Jackson being a standout. Yet – Jackson was our first round pick, and Arenas was a 2nd round pick. The big standouts that year on D were McClain (LB), Arenas (DB), Cody (NT).
Now – Arenas muffed a punt vs. Denver last week, but had 6 passes defended and 2 picks this year – which is one pick better than our man.
I swear – I bet Kareem doesn’t even turn his head to cough at the physical.
In my heart of hearts, I believe Bush somehow managed to convince R. Smith that Kareem was the right fit for his dysfunctional efensive scheme.
The proof, me thinks, is in the quality of this year’s defensive draft class. Wade came in here, identified draft eligible players that fit his system, and handed said list over to R. Smith.
I thought Arenas sucked as a corner honestly.
Kareem’s thing in college was he was a physical corner without elite athleticism. I remember being pissed we couldnt trade up to get Haden. Kareem was good at playing the ball in the air actually but I think that was mostly because he was equal to most college WRs in terms of athleticism.
I disagree
I don’t think he’s improved enough to stay on this team. What he has had, is the benefit of a monster pass rush that has thrown off opposing QB’s timing and accuracy. It’s given him more time to recover from his mistakes. That pressure has made him seem better than he is.
While there is some truth here...and maybe alot of it, Kareem has still clearly played with better technique this year.
He needs to continue to improve on his technique undoubtedly. He ain’t worth the pick right now, but I do not think it is quite time to completely give up on him. That would be short sighted. Let’s see what a full offseason with the current coaching staff can do for him.
Plus, JJo has looked suspiciously mortal the past few weeks. CBs will get beat…even with a monster pass rush.
dammit...nice reality check there, brother.
'Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.' -Frank Herbert
A first rounder is NOT a project unless it’s a QB. It’s not short-sighted to cut someone who is not working up to their potential after two years. For the money we’re paying Kareem, we can get someone worlds better. Right now, Allen is better than Kareem and I’d rather see him start over Kareem. Unless he does something brilliant in the playoffs, there is no reason to keep paying him that much money for being so bad.
Alphabet says differently.
I hear your argument, but I say we’ve invested a high pick and millions in him. We HAVE seen noticeable improvement without a full coaching season. It’d be foolish to abandon that investment at this stage. CB is a tough position and many players only mature after a few years. Kareem is already serviceable as a #2 CB. He is a whipping boy around here so many have a hard time acknowledging anything good he does. But, If he improves just a bit more, he’d be a nice player. Superstar? Probably not. But with JJo across, they’d be quite the pair.
IM NOT SAYING IT'S GOING TO BE A BLOWOUT...
BUT IT’S GOING TO BE A BLOWOUT.
Seriously, at home (loud as FUCK – was there for home opener vs. Indy can attest to this) our #1 ranked Oline healthy (hopefully Briesel’s good) all of the weapons we have playing at full potential. Including the return of one of the top 3 WR’s in the NFL – in his 1st highly anticipated playoff game. A defense that is pumped and ranked #2 in the league. A coach that for all intents and purposes is considered an offensive genius, (and has probably held out on some O plays) along with the full return of Saint Wade with a fully healthy D crew minus Mario.

Yup. I've been thinking blowout, too.
If it happens, it will start with the D just wrecking Dalton’s pass protection and putting TJ and the offense on short fields with sacks and turnovers.
Sorry. I can see a solid win, but blowout? No.
I still have little confidence that our offense under TJ can be explosive. Solid? Effective? Hell, yes. Explosive? Don’t see it. I hope I am wrong.
Now, if the D creates a lot of TO’s…then a blowout is certainly a possibility. But absent that, I think Cincy can play us tough. They certainly did the first game….and absent a lucky fumble on a non-fumble, we lose that game.

I agree with this completely. If we don’t execute and play like we played vs. Cincy 1st half, Indy, Carolina = we lose.
I don't think we have to be explosive to win 28-7.
Take away the Tate fumble at the 3 and the missed fg in the first game and we win 30-19.
Our D will be as sharp as the second half in Cinci which we dominated.
I’m calling 24-9 without any turnovers created.

Well - it's their fan site
I mean – c’mon, on our fan site, we say stupid things too – like “we’ve been playing like shit lately so that no-one will have film on us”
That’s like saying “Kareem hasn’t turned and looked for a pass all year so that in the playoffs, QB’s will purposely throw his way, and he can be the shutdown beast”.
Me – I hope our guys come out fired up in the first half. On offense – move the ball and don’t turn it over. On D – get to Dalton and shutdown Green and Benson. Sounds simple. It won’t be.
But – my favorite Gary quote:
(on how the fans can help the team on Saturday) "Well, they can help us by being real loud. They’ve been that way all year, but I know this city is excited about Saturday afternoon. I just want them to know how excited we are as a football team. We’re looking forward to going to battle with them. That’s the key. We’re all in this together. It’s a big, big game for everybody. We’re looking forward to giving our best effort, and I know we’ll get theirs."
This would be a good point, if it were true.
But what I, as well as others, have been speculating and saying, is that Kubiak has been playing conservatively in order to reveal as few plays as possible, AND, to prevent more injuries. Which is substantially different than saying we have not been executing well so others won’t know what we have.
For example: In the Tennessee game, we lost that game because of poor execution of the last play. However, we could have won the game earlier had we played less conservatively, ie: playing our second and third string, presenting blitz packages, etc.
There is ample evidence to suggest that this is a valid point of view, so pleae don’t condescend and say that such ideas are stupid.

Kareem Jackson is officially the defensive version of David Carr
Another first rounder who the front office and coaches will defend despite the most obvious body of work proving mostly liability to success for the team. It’s a few flashes of “good efforts” overshadowed by many failures. OK, I agree that K-Jax has improved, but he still doesn’t turn his damn head for the ball. He still lacks significant technique expected by a first round pick in his second year.
If you stack ranked all defensive backs in the league, he wouldn’t be listed in the top 50 by any scout. We need to replace him with a cover corner like JJo, and send him to a “Tampa 2” style defense where he can showcase his run support ability.
NFL referee corruption is disgusting! I'm done as a season ticket holder until it gets cleaned up!

to be contenders for years to come. He is following the same path the Saints have taken. Offensive HC hires good DC and team is in the playoffs for years to come. Hopefully ol’ Wade will stick around like Williams has in NO.
I think the Texans can take the Bengals, but I don’t see it being easy. This is the playoffs, Bengals will come out ready to play and the Texans are holding it together with paper clips and bubble gum at this point with all the injuries. Hoping AJ can physically perform as he is capable of, and not just at 80%. Also hoping Briesel can play and the O-Line gets it back together. But the bottom line it is win or go home, so i expect the texans to leave it all on the field Saturday. I think Texans win 24 -20.
