When Gary Kubiak told reporters that he valued the pass rush over the explosiveness of the running back before selecting DE Mario Williams with the first pick of the ’06 draft, there was a common negative reaction among fans and football analysts across the country. How could Kubiak even think about passing up on one of the top-five college backs of all-time, a future hall-of-famer and, perhaps, the next Barry Sanders?
But Kubiak was smarter than his critics. He didn’t give in to the seductive appeal of a flashy skill player. He knew that running backs in the NFL are heavily dependent on their offensive lines and that a team’s success usually lies in its ability to pressure the quarterback, stop the run, and open up holes for its running back. If Kubiak wanted a marketable face for his franchise, he would’ve drafted Reggie Bush. But he decided that he wanted to win football games instead. (more…)
