One of the hallmarks of Kubiak’s tenure asoffensive coordinator in Denver was theBroncos’ ability to get solid production from

seeminglyanybackontheroster.Inhisfirstseason in Houston, Kubiak showed similareffectivenesswiththeTexans’runningbacks.Threedifferentbacksranfor90yardsormorein a game, highlighted by Ron Dayne’s 153-yard,twotouchdowneffortintheteam’s27-24winoverIndianapolisonChristmasEve.

Theoffensiveline also improved under Kubiak’s scheme,allowing25fewersacksthanin2005.

As a head coach, Kubiak found himselfresponsible for the defense for the firsttime in his career. Under the guidance ofdefensive coordinator Richard Smith, thedefenseimprovedbynearly30yardsandfourpointspergameoverofits2005performanceand turned in three of the six best games infranchisehistory.

After a slow start, the defense improvedthroughout the year andwas one of the top10defenses in the leagueover the last threemonthsoftheseason.FromWeek4throughtheendoftheseason,thedefenselowereditsyardsallowedbynearly180yardspergame,anditallowed12.1fewerpointspergameoverthelast13gamescomparedtothefirstthree.

Another first for Kubiak was having thefinal say in the draft, and the results wereoutstanding.
