And then you get the whole "well he had Schaub" Well-apart from the fact I don't think Schaub is God's gift to the QB position-Schaub had his best year with Kyle as his OC. And yes he passed more that year but the offense still had about a 60-40 ratio pass to run.

Do I wish he used Roy Helu a bit more effectively, and do I wish he at least gave the appearance a bit more? Sure. But seems like only a couple of years ago people here were saying how we haven't adapted with the times, and we're such an archane conservative offense that never takes shots.

well put. Kyle is young as an OC still & he's learning. He has shown that he's willing to give up the pass happy approach & pound it, like in the rams game. This isn't the first time we've seen an OC that was highly successful elsewhere come here & have a hard time. Let's give him time.
