UGLY LOSS!!! Now questions to Ponder going forward.

Cousins was best under Shanahan so it's a nice hire by Minnesota.

Kubiak played his high school ball in Humble (or Kingwood), was a starter at Texas A&M and kept ties in Houston during all those years in Denver. I'd say he was very popular in Houston and was definitely a class act. Any disagreements began and ended with his failure to get over the first-round playoff hump.

I think he's more beloved in Denver because of his playing career there and his record of success as an OC and HC up there.

Elway has been rumored to mull over converting to a college spread offense while Kubiak wanted no part of it. Once it became clear Kubiak wouldn't help him build that sort of offense, Kubiak chose to withdraw from the position he had not officially taken. He thinks his health can handle the stress of being the OC, just not as head coach.

If Elway stays with the spread concept, expect him to possibly trade up for Murray or Haskins if he needs to. Keenum did a lot of running laterally but he isn't a downfield runner.

Choosing Munchak as an OC for this seems odd but keep in mind that when Mariota is healthy, his offense works. The problem with Mariota is that he's too fragile.

Kubiak went to high school at St Pius which is very much in Houston.

Yes, you're right. I could have sworn I watched him in high school but it must have been somebody else. The memory bank is just not as reliable as it once was.

If Deshaun Watson was officiated like this we'd score 1000 points next year.

Eh, so sick of the Pats. I'll be rooting for the Rams.

Lots of early birds coming in on the Pats. Right now, it's Pats by 1 to 2.

Didn't Munchak leave Tennessee in 2013 when Mariota was in college?

[nunusguy]

BTW Munchak took the job as the Broncos offensive line coach as it seems that he has a daughter & grandchild in Denver which was his reason for making a lateral move from Pittsburg.

[HPF Bob]

Good catch. Munchak was fired after the 2013 season and Mariota wasn't drafted until 2015. So, I have no idea why the hell he's their OC other than he's been a previous head coach and they need help on their OL as badly as we do.

St. Pius. class of 1979, a rival school to my HS.

Sorry, I see Chuck has corrected this.

As for Munchak and the spread, what do you think the Run-N-Shot is?

[bikerack]

Sounds like Welker is looking for other opportunities.

8. Texans offensive assistant/ex-Patriots receiver Wes Welker is on the circuit—he interviewed for a job with Green Bay last week and San Francisco on Monday. The Niners are restructuring a bit after the departure of passing-game coordinator Rich Scangarello to Denver.

Former #Texans star Brian Cushing has joined the team as an assistant strength coach. Expected to work with the defense as well.

Just don't let him be in charge of supplements.
