Wow. Never heard Zimmer gush like this....

I remember him saying back in the offseason that his D always had their hands full with a Kubiak offense.  So glad that is coming to fruition here.

It starts with Dalvin Cook.

And here's the thing: everyone knew how a Kubiak offense runs. They knew what was coming. And they still couldn't stop it. I think that's what Gary wants as a legacy: his scheme can't be stopped if run properly by any new innovative young minds. Its timeless. And if you have talented skill players, its even more devastating because it will fill in the minor cracks that appear occasionally. Stefanski will keep this going in the NFL.

Yep, that's the best thing about it. You can stop it here and there. But not for long and not consistently. There are no examples that I can remember of Kubiak-run teams that were not among the top running teams in the NFL. I mean, we've all heard the names---T Davis, A Foster, O Gary, M Anderson, R Droughns, J Forsett....defenses knew what they were getting in those guys too.

We were extremely lucky to get Kubiak. He has no interest in taking on more responsibility due to his health, plus, his son is here, and so Stefanski becomes the next Koobs disciple. And even if he gets a gig elsewhere, we bring in another young  mind and let the mentor do his work once again. 

So Dallas tried to stop the outside zone by having the ends penetrate against the tight ends. It worked at first. Kubiak and/or Stefanski recognized the strategy and sent the fullback out to help block the end and they were back in business. In game adjustments are priceless. But recognition, most likely, bu Kubiak up in the booth is the key.
The scheme is making this line better than they would otherwise be. And Dalvin is helping. And Cousins is capitalizing on the run game.
No wonder Zim is gushing.

Dalvin + Kubiak + Bradbury = Good things

i think the only reason we have Gary Kubiak is because of Stefanski and his relationship with Klint K,  if Stefanski takes off the only way I see Kubiak sticking around is if Klint is promoted to OC,  which could easily happen with what ever team Stefanski were to take over,  he would make KK his OC and GK his asst HC/what ever he wants to be called.

Conspiracy theory here- Maybe Zim has heard the recent Stefanski head coach prospect buzz and is trying to frame it like Kubiak is the real genius, so that he can keep the band together for another season?
Yeah probably not.
But I've been saying for a month that Stefanski is probably gone after this season. I was told by many here that no, this time's different, everyone will stick around. I want that to be true but ehh... Unfortunately I think once again we'll be hiring a new OC this offseason.

So the only reason we have Kubiak is because Zimmer denied Stef the interview with Shumur and the Giants.  Just as Zimmer could deny KK and Dennison the interview.

The only reason we have Kubiak is because Elway and Fangio wouldn't allow him to keep his guys and so he walked. And the Vikings jumped. That's the biggest reason. The history his son already had with Stefanski was probably just icing. Yeah, I could easily see KK getting the OC if KS leaves.

wasnt KK hired before GK came on board and I know that it was before Dennison signed as IIRC he was still with the jets?

Dunno, thought the two Kubiaks were a package deal.  And I never did see that Dennison was actually hired.  He may be just volunteering here.

Getting Kubiak and the asst coaches he brought with him was the off season move that has had the greatest  impact on this 2019 team.  

  Kubiak and Co's arrival has coincided with Cooks best year and Cousins improvement . 

IMO Mattison was the guy Kubiak wanted. The draft day trade down through the 3rd round kind of backs that up.

Thru 10 games Cook has 203 rush attempts for  996 yards = 4.9 ypc

Mattison has 79 rush attempts for 389 yards = 4.9 ypc

Not hard to see why this team is 7-3 in 2019 vs. 5-4-1 in 2018
