Ryan is going to shut the running game down cold. He's going to bring the safeties up and limit Foster to very, very little at the outset. The guys outside are going to see a lot of man and it will be up to Kubiak to respond to this and to Schaub to three step and get the ball out on slants and outs and maybe to the TEs where they find space in the middle of the field. If Andre can break one or two for thirty or so Fatboy will have to back off a little and Foster will have some room and the Texans will have a chance to score some points. If Fatboy completely outwits Kubiak as I anticipate it will be an ugly, ugly day. I can very easily see this being the worst beatdown of the Kubiak era.
On an unrelated note, the more I think about it the more I'm sure Kubiak will be back next year, along with Rick Smith, sans Bush and most of the defensive staff.
