Offensive Line Guru Alex Gibbs Dies

Sad day in the football world, especially the offensive line world, as Alex Gibbs passed away at age 80. Gibbs was the godfather of the Shanahan zone-blocking scheme, spending 14 years with the Denver Broncos. His dominant running game helped a succession of lower-round picks become stars and helped the Broncos to back-to-back Super Bowl titles in the 1997 and 1998 seasons. Gibbs was also an assistant coaches for a number of other teams before retiring in 2010.
