as for the short yardage situations, i think this is the one place kubiak has not been good on offense. they always (95% of the time) go to tight formations and try to push opposing defenses off the line of scrimage in those situations. now, if you have a big strong OL then that is fine, but since the texans' running game is based on using smaller, quicker linemen and one-cut backs, it seems to me that going 4 wide and spreading the defenders out across the field (instead of bunching them up together) to create some open spaces and running between your guard and tackle as opposed to behind the center, might be more productive given the players they have
