Yeah, the Texans OL and running game were such an imposing force last year. I have a feeling the Texans made no effort to re-sign the guy and good riddance. Hopefully his son (the Texans DB coach) will stay and they’ll promote Bruce Matthews and allow him to get some more beef up front and implement a more conventional blocking scheme.

This guy will not fix your run game, Seattle. Take a look at how the Texans fared under him, with their 3.5 ypc.

@ jamaltimore & dolphan85 :
Gibbs son was on the staff in Denver & was fired in-season (cant recall if it was 06-07-08 ) so make of that what you will

Wow things are looking good in Seattle. Looks like Carroll is planning on building a strong run game. Could that mean that RB and RT is going to become a big priority in this year’s draft?
—————————————————–
We can go another season or so without a franchise back. We need to plug that O-line, secondary and look at securing a QB for the future.
I truly believe that Forsett can play a big roll while we do that.

I think we can now consider the Seahawks the favorite to go to the BCS Championship Game next year.

I’m surprised, given his background with zone blocking and time with Denver, that Shanahan did not try to bring him to Washington.

where’s snyder and the leprechaun on this deal? Gibbs was the guy behind the success of all those denver running backs while shanny was head coach and worked with his son in houston? We’ll see if the emperor has any clothes.

Wow. Huge signing.
Where Gibbs goes, so improves the run game.

If Houston lets Gibbs go to Seattle, then there’s yet ANOTHER reason why Kubiak should be FIRED immediately.

“As Mort points out, Gibbs’ approach to the running game will work seamlessly with what Jeremy Bates wants to do. Bates worked in Denver before working under Carroll at USC and is expected to be named Seattle’s”
I can always count on PFT to screw up the basics.

Excellent hire for the Seahawks. They still need a better starting RB and an improved LT, but this may allow them to focus more on rebuilding that defense this offseason.

Justin Forsett was already on next seasons’ fantasy football sleeper list. Considering the only person in the world who didn’t see that he was more capable than Julius Jones is no longer the coach of the team, it was already going to be a good year for him. This is only makes it better.

How does this jibe with your scathing earlier post blasting Carroll for building a “college staff”?
