Houston Running Game

Stolen from Footballguys:
HOU - Texans With Coach Alex Gibbs Going To Zone Block Scheme
Source: Brooke Bentley, HoustonTexans.com
The Texans running game ranked 22nd last season and HC Gary Kubiak has put assistant head coach Alex Gibbs in charge of installing the zone blocking scheme he orchestrated in Denver. The Broncos led the NFL in rushing with 20,150 yards in the nine seasons Gibbs coached there. From 2004-2006, Gibbs guided the Atlanta Falcons to an NFL-best 8,157 rushing yards. "I was already familiar with zone blocking," said C Chris Myers, who was brought in as a free agent from Denver, "But he's changing the Houston Texans' run game. Having the guy who signifies the whole zone blocking scheme helps a lot here."

This story is a great example of how the guys like you that pay attention in May have a real advantage. While the middle of the pack guys in your league are doing NBA or baseball stuff, you're thinking about how Alex Gibbs is going to change this running game. And I think he'll change it for the better. The guy improves the run wherever he goes and Houston shouldn't be any different. Mark it down.

The running backs in Houston are Ahman Green, Chris Brown, a couple unknown players and third round pick Steve Slaton.

The Mustard: Another reason to gamble on Steve Slaton. Green might keep the starting gig (He's certainly paid to be the starter.) but at 31 and having missed most of last year I wouldn't count on it. I doubt Brown will keep Slaton down because he is a good, but not very good running back. Slaton has all the upside here. I'm not saying count on him. I'm saying stash him on the bench as your RB4, maybe RB3 if he lights up the off-season camps.
