ROSCOE P. COE TRAIN

i understand posey's resume and background. but this is about bringing in characte guys. paup - for instance = would take on 300 pound tacklers at the point and shed them. posey is a weakling. he could not hold his edge up and kelsey and denney got creamed b/k of it. they essentially got blocked down on every snap and crushed. levy will stand the de up staight with disipline hard nosed and smart players who are physical and hold their gaps and lanes and shed. the 46 is for GREAT athletes who can penitrate and use speed (kearse, marcus washinton, richard dent, et al) and rely on terrific single coverage corners and hawk Safety (blaine bishop, sean taylor, etc). levy's job is to bring in bend but down break tacklers and servicible subs. stock the club with what TD could not, personality along the OL and DL and LB and TE. the old school physicalness will show late in the 4th quarter. look at gibb's running game. circa 1980 for 150 yards per game in 2005!

Levy will bring in his own guys. Field position is huge for Marv. He separates the game into Def., Off and 3rd, Special teams. thus, the emphasis will be great here. especially to protect losman and generate field goals with positioning alone. no more starting every drive at our 20 or inside our 20. levy will turn this around in 1 season. if we get good returns from april's boys, then even better.

Left Tackle - must have a Wolford or Ballard. Remember, Levy would run it 99% of the time on 3rd and shorts to the left side. 2 Power Blocking TEs - Levy loved the power set TE. Think Metzelars who was a 275 pound blocker on the line. Special Teams -- look for role player tacklers to be brought in. Pike, Tasker Carlton Bailey, Tinsdale, Ethan Albright types. Smashmouth BLocking FB for McGahee to run behind. CArwell Gardner was a Levy favorite. Run in cold weather. No one knows this better than Marv. Pass Catching 3rd down RB. Levy loved the 3rd down specialist. Thruman could do it alone, but McGahee needs help. Pass Rushing LB. Posey is gone. Levy needs a weekside speed rusher. Free Agent will be brought in here. Levy always loved the Paup, Art Still, Jeffcoat types who could get a push off the line on critical 3rd downs. Run Stuffin slow middle LB. Think Conlan, Ray Bentley, etc. Levy loves a 16 games healthy tackler in the middle of the mix. Smart Safety. Kelso was Levy's general on defense. He was slow and could hardly tackle, but he was smart, damn smart. He could call the plays and would find the ball a lot. Look for a smart FS to come in. BYe Bye Vincent, Wire and Milloy... Center. Levy had Hull who he leaned on in the clutch. Look for Teague to depart for a young smart center who calls blitzes at the line and hot reads.

Levy was quited in 2005 as stating that he want to coach in 2006. lets hopes it happens. he is a coach, NOT a GM! come on marvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv!

This's our guy. Aft., either, Indy loses or wins the bowl, Marv will bring this guy in. The General. BIO Tom Moore, a 42-year coaching veteran with 28 years of NFL experience, is in his eighth season as offensive coordinator of the Colts. Moore has 18 years experience as an offensive coordinator with three different NFL teams. Under Moore’s direction, the Colts have produced the five highest net yardage seasonal totals in club history (6,475, 2004; 6,141, 2000; 5,955, 2001; 5,874, 2003; 5,726, 1999; 5,616, 2002) and have topped 5,000 yards in seven straight seasons. The club set a franchise record with 522 points in 2004, besting the club mark of 447 points in 2003. The 2003 club topped the prior record of 429 points set in 2000, and the Colts have amassed 400 points in five of the past six seasons. The club’s 522 points in 2004 ranked as the fifth-highest seasonal point total in NFL history (556, Minnesota, 1998; 541, Washington, 1983; 540, St. Louis, 2000; 526, St. Louis, 1999). The Colts set club seasonal marks with 66 touchdowns and 379 first downs in 2004, and those totals ranked among the best seasonal totals in NFL history (Touchdowns: 70, Miami, 1984; 67, St. Louis, 2000; 66, San Francisco, 1994; 66, St. Louis, 1999; First downs: 387, Miami, 1984; 383, Denver, 2000; 381, San Francisco, 1998). The Colts boast the only NFL offense ever with a 4,000+ passer and a 1,000+ rusher and receiver in three consecutive seasons. QB-Peyton Manning, RB-Edgerrin James and WR-Marvin Harrison tallied the feat in 1999 and 2000, while Manning, Harrison and RB-Dominic Rhodes produced the effort in 2001. Manning, James and Harrison produced the feat again in 2003 and 2004 (and WRs-Reggie Wayne and Brandon Stokley joined the group, too), placing Indianapolis with its NFL-record fifth such offense. Offenses with a 4,000+ passer and 1,000+ rusher and receiver have been accomplished only 24 times in the NFL’s 85-year history. QB-Peyton Manning (4,557, 2004; 4,413, 2000; 4,267, 2003; 4,200, 2002; 4,135, 1999; 4,131, 2001) has thrown for more than 4,000 yards in an NFL-record six consecutive seasons. In 2004, Manning had perhaps the finest season by any NFL quarterback. Manning completed 336 of 497 passes for 4,557 yards and 49 touchdowns, while posting a 121.1 seasonal rating. His 67.6 completion percentage, yards, touchdowns and rating set Colts seasonal-bests, while his touchdowns and rating established NFL seasonal records. Manning’s 49 scoring passes broke the prior NFL record of Dan Marino (48, 1984), while his rating eclipsed the prior mark of Steve Young (112.8, 1994). Manning opened the season with multiple touchdown passes in a league-record 13 consecutive games. Manning directed the club to a franchise seasonal-best 6,475 net yards in 2004. The club also became the first in league history to produce three 1,000+-yard, 10+-TD receivers (1,210 yards, 12 TDs, WR-Reggie Wayne; 1,113, 15, WR-Marvin Harrison; 1,077, 10, WR-Brandon Stokley). Manning had six games with 4+ touchdown passes, tying Marino’s NFL seasonal record (6, 1984). Manning had five consecutive 4+-TD games in 2004, besting Marino’s prior NFL mark in that category (4, 1984). Manning extended his own NFL record with his seventh consecutive 25+-TD season. Last year marked the third straight season Manning set the club’s seasonal completion percentage record. His 67.0 mark in 2003 bested his own seasonal mark of 66.7 in 2002. In 2002, Manning’s 392 completions and 591 attempts also set Colts seasonal records. Manning has 112 consecutive starts, the third-longest streak by a quarterback in NFL history (205, Brett Favre; 116, Ron Jaworski). Manning has a club-record five double-digit victory seasons. His 66 starting wins rank second among Colts quarterbacks, while his 63 wins from 1999-2004 lead the NFL. Harrison is the only NFL player with four consecutive 100+ seasons, and his 2002 reception total (143) set the NFL seasonal record. Additionally, Rhodes replaced an injured James in 2001 and produced the third 1,000+ rushing season ever by a Colts rookie running back (1,104) and the most rushing yards in NFL history by an undrafted rookie free agent. When Manning and James topped the NFL in their respective categories in 2000, it marked only the second time in NFL history (1937, Washington, QB-Sammy Baugh, RB-Cliff Battles) that one team had the passing and rushing champion. Harrison (6), Manning (5), James (3) have earned multiple Pro Bowl bids during Moore’s tenure, and Marshall Faulk gained the honor in Moore’s 1998 inaugural season with the Colts. James has won two rushing titles (1999, 2000). James’ three 2,000+ scrimmage yards seasons (2,303, 2000; 2,139, 1999; 2,031, 2004) are a club record, and his total has been surpassed only by three players (4, Walter Payton, Eric Dickerson, Faulk). James has 40 100+ rushing outings in 81 career games. His percentage of 100+ games to career outings (49.4) ranks second in NFL history among players with 35 or more 100+ career games (49.7, Barry Sanders, 76 in 153; 49.2, Jim Brown, 58-118). James is averaging 126.2 scrimmage yards per game for his career, the best total in NFL history (125.5, Brown). Moore entered coaching at his alma mater, Iowa, from 1961-62. Following a two-year stint in the Army (1963-64), where he coached a division team in Korea and the post team at Fort Benning, Ga., Moore served as offensive backfield coach at Dayton from 1965-68. He then served as offensive coordinator at Wake Forest (1969) and offensive backfield coach at Georgia Tech (1970-71) before assuming the offensive backfield position at the University of Minnesota (1972-73). Following a one-year stint with the New York Stars in the World Football League (1974), Moore returned to Minnesota as offensive coordinator from 1975-76. He entered the NFL with Pittsburgh and worked 13 years (1977-89) with the Steelers. Moore coached receivers from 1977-82 before assuming the role of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach (1983-89). He helped lead the Steelers to victories in Super Bowl XIII (35-31 over Dallas) and Super Bowl XIV (31-19 over Rams). He moved to the Minnesota Vikings (1990-93), serving as assistant head coach/quarterbacks (1990), assistant head coach/offensive coordinator (1991) and receivers coach (1992-93). He then joined the Detroit Lions as quarterbacks coach in 1994 and was offensive coordinator from 1995-96. During that three-year span, Barry Sanders ran for nearly 5,000 yards (5.2 average). The 1995 Lions offense led the NFL in total offense (6,113 yards, 382.1 ypg.) and became the first team in NFL history to have two receivers post 100+ receptions (Herman Moore, 123-1,686, 14 TDs; Brett Perriman, 108-1,488, 9 TDs). Moore and Perriman’s 3,174 combined yards set an NFL record for the most seasonal receiving yards by a tandem. Moore moved to New Orleans for the 1997 season as running backs coach with the Saints. Moore was a quarterback at Iowa(1957-60). Moore earned a bachelor’s degree in history at Iowa and a master’s degree in guidance counseling at Dayton. In 2005, Moore was inducted into the Rochester, Minnesota Sports Hall of Fame. He was born November 7, 1938, in Owatanna, Minn. He is married to the former Emily Dickerson of Charlotte, N.C. They have two children, Terry and Dan.

kidding right? guy has NO EXPERIENCE AT ALL! we will hire an older - experienced nfl coach (60-65) and young DE (40-45) levy will look to the past...

1. Bills better hire a guy within the next 48 hours. The combines, contract and player evaulations are already going on in the league. All teams have their coach early - day aft - Black Monday. We are behind timewise now... 2. MM was fired IMO. I think Wilson liked the guy adn if fired, MM would not be rehired elsewhere. He leaves BUffalo intact and with some value this way. It was a late night, save face plan.

Charlie Weis, Marvin Lewis, John Fox, Lovey Smith. Kidding. I'll take Moore (Colts OC) and Haslett as DC.

Levy is the VP now, Gibbs is the coach. BIG difference there. Walsh came back "as an advisor," mostly to tell season tickets ala we are doing with Levy. In Washington, Vinny Cerato is the GM, NOT Gibbs. Cerato made the Portis and Santan Moss moves. Walsh built a crap team - which flopped. They are now the worst team in the league after that experience. I hope Marv trusts Modrak to run the everyday operations.

49ers brought back Bill Walsh in a similar role as we have Levy. Walsh was past his prime and the 49ers have been horrible for 5 years now. Going to the past never works, does it?

i like haslett too. he was a great Dcoor with pitt with his blitzes. he would be great with MM too.

opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one. but really, all are welcome to voice concerns over an 86 yr old hiring an 80 yr old. lord, if you fail to see that as "odd", then you have blinders on. besides, levy never won NOTHING when he was here. he was a great 4 time division winner, but he aint no joe gibss - who is PROVEN at his age. levy is a ticket seller. dont drink the punch. you want to point fingures at cry baby fans, but no playhoffs in 6 yrs allows us to be pissed. what a crap product. now we get to PROVEN winner (super bowl) but a senior citizen? we need players, not figure heads. we need TE, OL, DE, DL, SS, FS, QBs and special team players.

david carr. i say we go after him and give our 9th for him. then build around him

you have got to be kidding right? he is the WORSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT def. coor. in the business. he plays wade phillip's cover 2 soft zone bend but dont break. that was great 15 yrs ago when qb could not run, and rbs could not gain 2,500 total yards. that def. sucks now. tampa plays a cover 2, but with no soft zones coverages. teddy was fired in NY and now Minn and in buffalo. he absolutly sucks....

JOE GIBBS? PARCELLS HAD A HEART ATTACK JOE PAPA PERTERNO? HELLOOOOOOOOOO!!!

ah, i believe time was let go because our line sucked and was weak at the point of attack as was cincy's when he coached there, untile MARVIN LEWIS was brought in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or should i say john fox! or mora! or ... *&*&*&!@(&@*&*#@&)#@&)(@@#@!~~~

i have a feeling that marv will coach is malarky stinks up the place early. if we start 1-3, 1-4, larv will take over. marv is the security blanket for wilson if MM sucks. marv has NO gm ability, so his role as VP is clearly coahing related. MM get the chance, then marv will take over. you heard it here first...

i have ocean front property in arizona for sale. you seem like a good person to ask to buy. ringing p.t. barnum...

"Matlock" (lawyer) will play Marv Levy. Jack Lemon will play Ralph Wilson. Sam Wyche will play himself and wear a T-shirt that says "I tutored Joe Montana, and Boomer." "Slater" from "Saved by the Bell" will play J.P. Loseman. Kevin Cosner will play MM. Morgan Freeman will play Jerry Grey.

well i can't predict the future. but we always hear that the best/only way to look at the future is by studing the past. thus, we hired TD who built winners in pitt. but it flopped. but here, we have levy, who is a COACH! a guy in the locker room, a buddy a pal a one liner guy. he aint the suit at the annual NFL palm beach GM meetings. he is a football guy. his status is excellent, no doubt. it may breed belief, i allow this notion, maybe. but he has been a coach at every stop he has made in the league. the super bowl teams he coahed with ted marchibroda were built by 4 men. they are - those still alive - still building winners: PLOIAN -- COLTS AJ SMITH CHARGERS

hahahhaaaaaaaaaa, LOLOLOL, that was hilarious. naw, just joking. a linerologist? what the... levy still has great one liners, no doubt. harvard educated football coach. that is an oxymoron.

i am very sensitive. sorry. kidding. i thought you were busting my balls, so i lashed out. sorry brother.

dwight smith, aj smith, butler and polian and others built the 1988-1997 BUFFALO BILLS! not levy. bringing in levy has NOTHING to do with building a better team. he will sell tickets to those morons who relate his name with winning. the corrolation is bogus, other than marve motivating great players on sundays like BRUCE TALLEY KELLY THURMAN REED TASKER CONLON "BISCUIT" SEALS WOLFORD BALLARD etc... all brought in by the gms and scouts like dwight adams who slept in cheep motels most of his scouting career.

what are our strenghts? our punter is excellent. willis is good for 80 yards a game. i guess evans is pretty fsat every 3rd game. ah, i suppose shoebel is a good 3rd down rusher.
