Seahawks OL coach Gibbs abruptly resigns
Justin Forsett - RB - Seattle Seahawks

Seahawks offensive line coach Alex Gibbs has abruptly resigned from his job on Pete Carroll's staff.
No reason was given, but it's quite a blow to a Seattle team that will field a makeshift offense at the skill positions. Known as the "Godfather of Zone Blocking," Gibbs orchestrated perennial 1,000-yard rushers in Denver and was supposed to inject life into a Seahawks backfield that's been pedestrian since the mid-2000s. It's another reason to shy away from Justin Forsett, who may start in Week 1 but is being overdrafted.
