Thank goodness this storyline will end today
The "Gary Kubiak is returning to Denver" storyline has been going all week.
Here's the lede from a Dale Robertson story that was particularly heartwarming:
Because the Texans have taken to Gary Kubiak, they seem inclined to want to make him look good in his Denver "homecoming" Sunday night.
This is especially important to quarterback David Carr, who will ultimately be most responsible for showing Broncos fans that Kubiak has a solid grip on things in Houston. Houston's new head coach was, of course, hired for his offensive acumen, learned at the right hand of Broncos visionary Mike Shanahan.
But the Texans' early bumbling against the St. Louis Rams last weekend didn't reflect well on the boss. And Carr knows what he and the first-team offense did — or rather, didn't do — in St. Louis last weekend wasn't acceptable.
"We want to be really effective, especially with coach Kubiak coaching in Denver for the first time," the franchise's first first-ever draft choice said.
I can tell they're inspired!
Texans offensive coordinator Troy Calhoun probably didn't experience anything quite like this when he was in Denver:
Although neither Kubiak nor Calhoun was sure if the Broncos were a source of motivation for the Texans players because of the ties between the two franchises, both seemed to appreciate Carr's sentiment.
"Our guys always want to play well against anybody," Calhoun said. "But I'm sure they feel fortunate to have the coach they do."
Painful to read, that is. Thank goodness the game with Denver is tonight, and this storyline can be replaced by some heartier fare. We hope.
