From pass heavy to run balanced - Identifying where Klint Kubiaks philosophy can be felt the most.
Bonus Round* - I decided to look at 3rd and 7+ to see what we look like when poop hits the fan.
Kubiak
-23 3rd and 7+
-1 FG
-20 Pass
-2 Run
23/87 Run Pass Ratio
Carmichael
-26 3rd and 7+
-23 Pass
-3 Run
22/88 Run Pass Ratio
Analysis - 3rd and 7+ appears to be no man's land for most teams so the theory of more runs/draws that concedes downs isn't likely, or atleast it wasn't in pre-season. What I can highlight is Kubiak called one deep shot in those scenarios, while Carmichael dialed up seven. Extrapolated over a season and it amounts to two deep shots a game or 26 a season. Pick 26 plays last year that you would rather Carr have not been in a position to get his block knocked off while waiting for a deep route to develop on 3rd and 7+.
