I think this is a Rizzi move and that Rizzi has some serious juice on this staff. I think Rizzi has been dreaming of ways to work the new kickoff rule and the Saints will be the best kickoff team in the NFL. Kubiak also uses a quick hit, one cut, running scheme. It's the type of sceme that an "unknown" RB could maybe thrive in, but we shall see.
I'm actually hopeful about the season, especially if we can avoid a horrible start.
If this team can somehow get a lead early, this Defense should be able to really turn up the heat and force some turnovers. Kubiak will kill some clock with this offense.
