I think Salaam was rotating, in for Brown every third series or so. I didn't catch onto this until late in the game, so I might be wrong here.
As for Kubiak... for a guy willing to stick his neck out on a pick like Mario over Reggie, he seems slow to react to problems on defense. I think sometimes someone needs to remind him to get more involved on the other side of the ball.
That said, as I am watching highlights of the Rams kick the 'wagon... think back to our alternatives for a HC when Kubiak was hired - two were hired elsewhere (that I can think of offhand), Cam Cameron and Scott Linehan, and both have since been fired already. I shudder to think where the Texans might be had they hired either of them in place of Kubiak.
...I also wonder about Jerry Gray though. I think he might be an intriguing candidate for someone. Since leaving as Buffalo's DC, he went to the Skins to coach up what seems to be a pretty effective secondary. In no way am I suggesting Hoke has been inadequate, but Gray seems to have been a bit overlooked by the league imo.
