The Godfather

Perhaps the most overlooked acquisition of the offseason was Houston's addition of assistant head coach/offense Alex Gibbs. I was reminded of this by the annually underrated weekly team reports on The Sporting News.
Gibbs, the Godfather of the Denver (and Atlanta) zone running scheme, will convert Houston from a part-time zone team to an every-down affair. Their running back battle (Ahman Green, Chris Brown, Chris Taylor) will probably add a rookie. That rookie, and whoever emerges as the Week 1 starter, is going to be a fine fantasy sleeper if only because of Gibbs.

The only problem is, as in Atlanta, it may take some time to retool the offensive line in the mold that Gibbs like. The results are undeniable though. Gibbs' scheme gave Elway two rings and gave Atlanta - ATLANTA - a top-notch rushing attack and a berth in the NFC title game.
