Sometimes a competent offensive scheme cannot be executed without a competent offensive line, and attempts to compensate for incompetent offensive linemen wreck the scheme because nobody can focus on anything but extra blocking assignments to cover for ole ferdinand the bull at left tackle.

It's not just Kubiak. It's Benton as OL coach. Didn't really research his track record. The bio the Saints put out suggests an improvement over the previous year. So we'll see. BTW, why did the Saints publish a picture of him in another team's colors?
