Barrett it's like you and Roy both are saying, we are to predictable because of our hybrid offense. Gibbs plays are clearly defined and everyone knows the play. Play assignment football and the defense wins.
Use a spread offense to run? Can you do that? The run and shoot was based on the pass setting up the run. The original WCO was the short pass was used to set up the long pass.
I want what you guys are saying, and it's similar to the old Run and Gun offense of Buffalo and Sam Wyche's Bengals. Multiple sets, motion, mismatched LBs trying to cover RBs with WR skills, TE that could run block or split the seem.
Also, I want to add some of the Wildcat sets. .
Kubiak is finally playing to his players strength, not to some ideal he wants.

I totally agree with you. Well almost. I don't think you go wildcat if you can beat a team straight up with your offense. But I don't mind it as an option for when we struggle and need to change the pace.
As for going jumbo, I think it can work and there may be a time for it, but I just think this offense is so good that you are taking a playmaker out no matter who it is.
But bottom line is I think Kubiak knows he has to do this with his current team, but doesn't like it. That's why the foot came off the gas and he went back to what was comfortable in the 4th quarter once we had a lead. If he was coaching the Pats yesterday they would have beaten Tennessee 10-0 instead of 59-0. He needs to view throwing the ball as a giant advantage his team can do in every situation, not as a deal with the devil he has to make this year because we can't run it.
I would be shocked if we don't lose at least one game where we pass for a lead and then try to run it in the 4th and let a team come back to beat us.
