The truth is I agree with Shanahan and Kubiak far more than I do Vermeil or Wyche. I just don't think this team was put together to win that way. We have huge deficiencies to win Kubiak style football games. But we have skill position talent that I would take over anyone in the NFL.

We need to take a page from Ken Wisenhunt who was a Steelers coach under Cowher, calling a steady diet of 3 yards and a cloud of dust. He'd love to run it in Arizona but he is smart enough to recognize what he has (and what he doesn't). And he parlayed it into a superbowl bid with a less talented team than we have.
