It makes sense if you're the 98 Falcons with Jamal Anderson, or the Titans with Derrick Henry.
Neither, he’s speaking of a mindset. That’s why he said 8 man fronts. (You’re not supposed to be able to run against it) Same as, we want to run successfully when they know we’re going to run. It’s about dictating the offensive attack to the defense. I think he’s bringing up the “running” face because it’s the beginning of the teaching of the new system and not the endgame product. When you’re able to run whenever you want you control the flow of the game. Remember last year? We had trouble running against all fronts. (And it didn’t help that we were predictable with our running calls corresponding to the player package either). I don’t think he’s speaking of a specific style, (falcons/broncos). Because Gary Kubiak said, he wants Klint to put his own spin on it, to be the “Klint Kubiak” offense. With that said, we have no idea what it’s going to look like, until we start seeing it in camp etc.
It’s wide zone. Terrell Davis wasnt a “power runner” even by todays standards. We do have two explosive RBs in Kamara and Miller who can benefit and I’m sure there’s a Mike Bell role for Williams.
Pretending last years play calling wasn’t a negative factor in how our RBs produced is intentional ignorance and not having a conversation in good faith.
This offense will be running from a zone blocking scheme and is tailored made for a player like Alvin Kanara and Miller.
Hey I found a good article that really explains this. The system will be a run focused system, which is a good thing. What makes the system great, is when an elite QB is added to run it. (I know that pretty much goes for every system). But it is what makes this system go from 3 yards and a pile of dust, see Mike Shanahan led Wash team. As you know they never were able to find a solid QB. Compare that to ATL in their Superbowl season (the one they had 28-3 lead mid way thru the 3rd quarter vs NE), If you recall, prior to that meltdown, ATL was awesome that year on offensive. (Kyle Shanahan was the OC) Just go look at the stats if you don’t remember. The credit goes to Matt Ryan for taking that team to heights that never seen before). A more recent example is whenMcVay added Stafford, that offense was dominant and didn’t look like a one dimensional running team, but a high flying juggernaut. So I can see Derek Carr being able to elevate our version of KK’s offense, hopefully in the same manner Stafford did for LAR.
Nice article, i'm hoping that KK will be able to bring similar success.Hey I found a good article that really explains this. The system will be a run focused system, which is a good thing.

How the Shanahan Coaching Tree is Changing the Modern NFL Offense
The year is 2010 and Washington has decided to make changes to its football team. Following a 4-12 season, Washington brought in NFL legend Mike Shanahan as head coach, two years after his departure from Denver, where he led the Broncos to back-to-back Super Bowls. Shanahan brought some coaches...troubadour.francis.edu
