What Kubiak says ain't always what Kubiak really feels.
Safeties deep is not a prevent defense. I think we did get conservative, and maybe that had something to do with Smith being a little more mobile. I kind of doubt that though. I think it was more along the lines of we had a big lead and tried to play it safe. We were not in a prevent defense...at least not what I consider a prevent anyway. You will see two deep safeties a good percentage of the time from most any NFL team on just about every down/distance/game situation there is.

I'm of the mind that you don't let up until the other team has given in, and most teams never really give in until late in the fourth quarter when there is just no chance. I hope Kubiak learns his lesson from this game and next time he has a team down, he just steps on their throat instead of ggiving them a chance to get back up....and I mean that figuratively, not in any kind of literal, Albert Haynseworthian, face stomping sense.
