Broncos blocking teams from interviewing Gary Kubiak for OC openings, per league sources.

Good, we need to get him back calling plays again. Lindsay and Freeman would thrive under his offense

[Mel B.]

Good!

I like Kubiak and don't want to see him helping any other team but ours.

Only way I am Ok with this is if he has adapted his offense. The concern I have there is that for a run game to work well like his we need BIG BIG and STRONG lineman who can move quickly for their size. That was the issue we had when he was here before. The offense in '16 wasn't great and the running offense in '18 was better. So we need to hope that Kubiak (if he is going to get the call for our OC job) has adapted.

I hope Elway knows this otherwise he’s just hiring another friend however those linemen in 2016 werent Kubiak Guys But I understand hopefully he adjust to the linemen on the team this year.

Shanahan always had lighter mobile guys playing on the line, hence super bowl XXXII the smallest offensive line vs the biggest so they don’t necessarily have to be bigger guys.

That really depends on the predominate blocking scheme the OL uses. If it is zone they'll look for quick and agile players and Shanny employed Gibbs zone blocking back in the day with great results.

Looks as if KUB's is on his way out.

Yes but also of note is that now many of the bigger lineman are also quick. So we need to be careful that we don't get caught going tiny and then get slaughtered by a big ol nasty DL.
