Pedon - Manning - Chapter 5: The dead copy
Author: Fang Ling ARODGERS, NFL Chinese official website column writer
At the end of the 1990s, only 30 teams at the time, so the partition model is similar to today's NBA architecture, and 15 teams in the United States, and then distributes into the Eastern District according to the 5 teams of each partition. , Central, Western District.
AFC EAST, in addition to pony, also Miami Dolphin, New England Patriots, New York Jet and Buffalo Bill Four Team.
Dolphin, Tang-Shura and "Killing God" Dan-Marino, Dan Malino, only a quarter of the victory rate below 50%, unclosed partitioning, and after retirement, another Shuai Jimmy Jimmy took a teaching whip, the team did not have a signs of retreat, taking advantage of Marino, the dolphins were still a competition for a seasons.
The history of patriotism is not long, and the 1980s is also a big broken team. Robert Kraft is quite building a tree in the fields of papermaking, packaging, entertainment, real estate and private investment. In the early 1990s, the Clavite family officially acquired patriots, from this patriot, no matter whether it is from payments or records Implementing the turn loss, Bill Pasers (Bill Parcells) and 93 Yidu Bradiso also led the patriot in the 1996 season to enter the super bowl, just will be lost to Brett-Method Brett Favre's packaging worker. The 97-season pagodies agreed to the Shuai from the team, hired Pete Carroll, which was a good coaching qualified, became a new coach, immediately killed the playoffs.
In addition to the "Flower Mon" Joe-Na Mas, the team has been arrogant, the jet is not as good as the city of the New York, 97 Sub-Pasils (Zon's merits " New York City, the jet record has a significant improvement, although the four-point guards 87 years, Vinny Testaverde, is a stadium, and there will be no highlight performance, but the star runs Kintis. - Martin Martin joined the jet in order to repay Pasils, 96 years, and the high-end handle, KEYSHAWN JOHNSON is also an offensive group heavy gun.
Bill's brilliant and embarrassing story in the early 1990s did not have to repeat it, Mf Levi, Jim Kelly, has passed the torch to Wade Phillips and David before the 98 quarter. Doug Flutie, seems to be a team of rebuilding, but the thin camel is big, plus Sherman Thomas and Bruce Smith (Bruce Smith) Two future celebrities The ciaoc stars still played the heat, and the outside world did not dare to see the fading.
Due to the time of the competition, the teams were required to carry out a game with other opponents from the partition each season, which means that there will be half of the 16 regular seasonings from the seasons from the partzas civil war, and they must fight with the Tigers in the Eastern District. , The prospects of the pony are not used, and the light is a desperate breath.
After the journey of the 1998, the Pony came on the patriot and jet, and the two battles added 12 to 73, and the scene was also extremely ugly. The defensive group is soft, especially can't stop the opponent's pavement, and the competition has not entered the stage, and the little horses are paid early.
Manning's days are also difficult, and the pony offensive system takes Folk as the core, the game opening stage, Manning is often just a delivery, a short pass, and some simple work; waiting until the big bit behind, Moore coach Arrange the ball attack, Manning is only a new show, lack sufficient ability to complete the ball, then, Manning's self-confidence is destroyed after passing the ball once failed. In the two games, only 361 yards were passed, and the hit rate was just 50%, and it was more than 5 times. Misunderstanding of defensive, communication, cross-wearing body pass, etc., Manning sent out the copy of the temporary, these mistakes also hurt the team.
Manning, while in the middle of the fans, there seems to have a slight light, when Manning desperately, slowly crawling forward, but found that the light source is in a distance, galloping.
The fourth battle against the New Orleans Saints, this is a Hanning's more familiar opponent, but the first four points of the other party have saved him "hate the bones", old opponent Danny-Woolfel replacement Kerry Collins first. Manning is again lost again, and once again, 3 times, the turnover of 3 times, especially the overtill in the overtime game, let the saints start from the pony half, Wover Fair is found to find Cam-Clock (Cam Cleeland) A sword seal!
Open four games! At this time, I stood out at the time of the time, "the parallel champion" is in the ear, the outside world is also questioned, Jim Mora morning makes Manning as the first decision is not a mistake, more, hopes to pay the eagle four-point guard Former small horse replenishment four points Bil Musgrave, please visit Manning, the media believes that an elderly leader can save the horses. Regardless of the external rumors, the team is still very convinced of Manning, there is no longer a summary lesson, not a family, and another "accommodation" coming again.
Day 5, the media advocated "the enemy of life" Manning and Liv finally met. What is the performance before Lev? In fact, this guild is worse than Manning. The first four battles pass the kids have just passed 40%, and the average only 140 yards per game. Only the one passing the ball is reached, the delivery is reached. 8 times!
On October 4th, a full-scale defensive battle, the whole game was only held 28 times, and the player became the protagonist. The pony team rely on the competition to win 10 points, and finally 17-12 defeated. San Diego lightning. Manning is only 23 pass 12 137 yards 1 time reached 1 time being copied, and the 160 yards of Lev 23 passed 12 did not reach 1 time being copied, and the two sides data were in autumn.
The competition is lacking, but this war is the meaning of Manning, not only the first victory of career is so simple. More predictively, Manning and Lev, from the day of step into the league threshold, they are destined to be like two front collision planets, there is always a straight horns to rush to the sky, and another However, it will fall into the abyss of the day.
Fortunately, Manning is the former. The next few games, Manning became more confident, the Birki and Dual-Futipi were born, then the battle Steve-Yang did not fear, Manning opened "brush brush" continuous Outlet 3 rendered, only lost to the end of 49 people.
On November 15th, the continuous sending copy of Manning in the first half of November again allowed the team to fall into the bottom of the wind, but the second half begins, the Pony's "Koyel Chang Chuan System" is sent, Manning's 38 The code is long and the Harrison, which is the right, is completed, the score is close to 6 points. In the fourth quarter, Tastavre Di "heart is soft", it is delayed to kill the game, the Pony got a fatal opportunity 3 minutes before the final. Eliminate the foul and Manning-Harrison, the pony caused the jet halfway, 30 seconds before the game, Manning hid to kill, a midway directly found the Dunction of Marcus in the end area Polad (Marcus Pollar), chasing score! Playing the ball Mike Vanderjagt Additional drawback, the pony is reversed! 24-23, this is Pedon-Manning career first brought the team to achieve reversal, but also as a best offensive player in Zhou Meilian.
Of course, Manning is so high in the glory, and the problem of pony is endless, and there are 6 games in the season, and the pony lost 5 games, even Manning came out 357 yards in the game. At the times, I still escaped the media 's own compulsory, Mora coach took the initiative to take responsibility, he did not regret the decision of Manning's first, I hope everyone can reflect more patients..
At the time of the time, Manning and Mora, like a pair of fathers, although the son didn't completely forgive his father's difficulties, but his father always hovered his child behind him, and shielded the wind.
Before the end of the season, Manning made a short season review: "The next thing I can do is trying to make yourself strive. I really don't know why this season will turn this, I want a week. Still progress, but the reality is, many times my performance is like sitting in the mountain trolley. "
At the end of the 1998 season, the small horses only achieved 3 wins and 13 losses, and the defensive group lost 27 points. It is even worse. The pony has almost lost all the matches close to the game, including 5 games leading 10 points The above is turned over.
In the 575 biography of Manning New show season, 56.7% of the pass rate, 3739 yards 26 times, 71.2 quarter-branch collections. The transcript has no big book, but the 3739 code passed the number of splitters, but the number of rookular passed records recorded in the 1993 season.
In fact, there is still a parameter on the Manning's data column that is not listed, that is, the interception. Simply, this party passed by the other defenders before they did not fall, and immediately convert the ball immediately. At the other side of the interference, it is said that it has lost a profit machine, which is called in this half means that the other party has received an excellent offensive starting position, more, it is possible to copy back to an attack. New Xiuji Manning has sent 28 copies of the total alliance, 28 cases of copying, like 28 steel needles, a four-point heart, will destroy a person's self-confidence to land, if not Manning & mdash; & mdash; Former career four-dimensional child, perhaps other people have already collapsed.
There is an optimistial analysis. If you use the top 6 games in the top 6 games, Manning is only 54.3% of the hit rate, 7 times to 14 times of being copied; 10 games at the end of the season, 58.4% hit rate, 20 times Dalgate 14 times. Manning has completed self-cultivation and progress in quietness.
"Future accommodation" Ryan Lev only hit 9 first hair, the hit rate is 45.3%, 1289 yards 2 times, 15 teeses, than Manning worse.
In 1998, in addition to the Pony, the other four teams in the United States of America have killed the playoffs. The strength of the Tiger Wolf is undoubted, but there are no longer, in the foot of the defending champion Danfo wild horse, the wild horse relies on 38 years old. John Elvi and the young Junjie Trell Davis's double sword, won the Madian Clamown. DETA, Minnesota Weijing played a rare and magnificent offensive performance in nfl jerseys, but the national contest was accidentally lost to Atlantan Falcon. On the ultimate super bowl, the wild horses defeated the Falcon, Elvi asked the Super Bowl MVP.
Soon, John Elvi announced the end of his 16-year career, and the super bowl of champion is also a period of perfect ending. In fact, if Elvi did not win two champions in his last two seasons, perhaps he was only a precious quarter of the data in history. Yes, NFL is so cruel, Cheng Wang defeated.
In the spring of 1999, Manning had passed his 23-year-old birthday, but it didn't have any good news before this. Although it broke the record of the new code, the "best offensive today" is owned by Landy Moss, there is no way, "monster" pushes 1313 yards and 17 times in the new show season. Professional bowl star competition and the best lineup of the season. Another "family" Charles-Woodn Woodn Woodn Woodson Woods Woodson won the trophy of "the best defensive new show" in the season.
The next day, the alliance completes a shocking transaction, and the small horse is related to: When the star Mark Folk is traded to the team!
The origin of things comes from Folk 1994 new show seasons and small Malays 6 years only 1.42 million rookie contracts, how can I find that the salary cap will rise in the next few years, I have gone in 1998, and passengers can get 2 million. The annual salary, the stadium is the shopping mall, a few years of fighting, Folk's elite performance is enough to seek a bigger contract, even under the proceedings of the broker, Folk began to threate the horsema management.
In most cases, the team must not screw the star, provide a big contract, and the super-star Form also has a big contract. Which is a small horse boss Jim-Ersse and general manager Bill Polyan not recognizes the mash, wants 8 million yuan? What joke is open? From ancient times, I have never heard of running guards to take 8 million. The situation is deadlocked, and finally, the pony has made a pen trading with the St. Louis Rasca of Folk and the Kingdom, and the Folk is sent away. In exchange for a two-round signs and a five-round sign for the 99-year elimination meeting, but also beautiful name Maintaining the order of dressing room. "
Folk is cheerful under the coupling, hip hop, no one is actually, such a player is in New York or Los Angeles may not be much different, Indianapolis is a serious industrial city, the people of this city Treating a meticulous work, treating sports extreme enthusiasm, reinforced concrete urban character, in the city center Sculpture is a solemn face, to see how Falk also some out of tune, leave, perhaps not a bad thing.
Team boss was traded, Manning turned my heart like a cruet. But from another perspective, Manning and Harrison to be ready to start when the protagonist.
Placid entire offseason, in addition to the new Cleveland Browns NFL to join the family, it seems that no news can ripples the lake. It is naturally not noticed, Marshall - Falk's new owner Rams quarterback lineup constantly adjust, quietly left a 27 year old sophomore quarterback.
1999 NBA Draft, the top three of Brown, Eagles and Tigers were chosen - Tim Couch (Tim Couch), Donovan - McNabb (Donovan McNabb) and Achille - Smith (Akili Smith) three quarterback. University of Texas the most popular champion, just won the Heisman running back Ricky - Williams (Ricky Williams) no one cares more exaggerated, the Philadelphia Eagles did not choose Williams, Eagles fans booed loudly, after three pick, the more the idea of the story: saints coach Mike - Di Teka (Mike Ditka) in order to get the name of this talented running back, at 99 years with a first-round, third, fourth, fifth sixth, seventh round draft picks, with the first round of next year's signing sent out, and so was the future of the team purse.
Pony in the offseason to do a kind of make up? Draft fourth overall, they also skipped the Ricky - Williams, but the choice of Ai Jilin University of Miami running back - James (Edgerrin James), this guy is a total of three years of college ball a few yards closer to the red 3000 yards, and an average of 14.2 yards per reception able to advance, it is also very suitable pony "Coryell long pass system", say there may be some obscure, put it another way, the colt got "Falk II. "
On the offensive front, care front, "fitness spree" Tony - Manda Ridge (Tony Mandarich) retired, plus Jay - Liu Wenbo grid (Jay Leeuwenburg) left the band, so that the inside of the front-line offensive - Larry Moore (Larry Moore) and Waverly - Jackson (Waverly Jackson) became a starter, the strength has improved. - Tom Moore despise wide receiver Jerome - Poisson's fast enough to pull the defense, directly voted rookie Terrence - Wilkins (Terrance Wilkins) replaced starter, second-year wide receiver EG smaller Green (EG Green ) has also been entrusted with the task.
98 quarter pony loss of points and lost yardage are ranked second to last in the league, how to strengthen the defense has become the biggest issue pony off-season. Did not hesitate to fire defensive coordinator Rusty - Tillman (Rusty Tillman), then hired former Panthers defensive coordinator Vic - Fangio (Vic Fangio), in fact 98 season the Panthers defense is better than a pony to bad, why he was able to get the favor of the pony? Fangio in Saint period as assistant and Jim - Mora worked nine seasons, virtuous does not avoid pro Fangio get a chance again in Midland posts.
Defense group over and over ruins, uniform set of nature is engaged in massive construction projects to rebuild, Bernard - moved within Wei Dingdun (Bernard Whittington) defensive tackle position, signed 130 kilograms of powerful defensive end Shaun from the free market - gold (Shawn King) and a good pass rush and the same weight reached 122 kg of Chad - Brad Nowitzki (Chad Bratzke), plus 95 years of first-round pick Ellis - Johnson, heavy weapons load, Colts defensive front line the average weight reached 127 kg, pony bent stout defensive front line to use and opponent's attack head-on the road. Falk to deal with that second-round pick, pony chose college and had played against Manning, outside linebacker at the University of Florida - Mike Peterson (Mike Peterson), plus the famous sign from the free market within the veteran Cornelius - Bennett (Cornelius Bennett), compared to 98 season, Colts defensive front seven has been the main change Fifth, big shake demonstrate determination to improve the defense of colt.
Payton offseason doing? In addition to joint training and brother together, Payton still kept in pocket skilled own pace, in addition to "cave man" and whenever you keep studying the video, and that makes it dawned on him why there so rookie season more steals. The reason is simple, NFL defensive group of players are from the country's elite defender, their full power and technology class, right on the ball with extreme desire, Manning tried to use a simple short pass, the other party would probably have to pass pre-judgment ball intent; after college arena Manning dare to challenge the use of long pass defense field, and to the professional arena, the other is likely to give a ruthless mind steals.
Manning said: "A player must have a goal, whether it is day or a lifetime I like to target are listed, then there is time to look at whether or not the goals.." So, Manning put his new goal of the season posted in the locker room the most visible position. There is no doubt that the 1999 season Manning biggest goal: to reduce steals, the better.
Season open play 99 regular-season opener against the Bill, Colts defensive group blocked the road to attack Bill, Manning and Harrison and two wide receivers Green heats up, the audience sent 284 yards and 2 touchdowns, 2 steals still looks dazzling, but the Colts 31-14 to win easily. The second week's game against the Patriots, Manning early into the state, led the Colts 28-7 halftime lead the Patriots, but the second half offensive began sleepwalking, and his teammates mistakes again and again, with Drew - Drew Bledsoe wake, patriotic who played pony big climax of 24-0, the last time Manning led the Colts still have a chance to reverse, but still steals the Patriot security guard - Chris Carter (Chris Carter) let Manning then swallow a bitter defeats.
The third week against the San Diego Chargers, but the "old enemy" Ryan - Leaf trail had disappeared, as early as 98 seasons, Cliff union leaders interviewed reported that San Diego after the game, he was impatient to openly reporter Jay - general Knysna (Jay Posner) freak, then the character issue is hugely magnified. 99 season training camp Leaf secretly sneak the golf accidentally sprained shoulder, he claimed to be passing by when training injury, but general manager Bobby - Beita De (Bobby Beathard) Leaf expose the lies, the coaching staff be suspended 4 games. Even admit Leaf issued a written statement: "I'm too selfish, I own shortcomings affected the team and my career," the coaching staff remained unmoved in his bench press, and this established and Manning duel, the Leaf can only be sidelined. Lightning starting in this field is also an old acquaintance & mdash; & mdash; Jim - Hubble, pony can not forget the past love, red setter who was chasing the Hubble flying over the court, pony final 27-19 win easily.
Manning fingertips 404 yards, breaking Johnny - Younaitasi maintained pony single-game passing yardage record.
97 season, Cleveland Browns owner Art - Modell (Art Modell) decided to move the team to Baltimore, became the league new army Baltimore Ravens. But two years later, Jia Buzhu Cleveland fans enthusiasm, the new Cleveland Browns came into being 99 NFL seasons to join the family, the league has 31 teams. This makes the Union on the schedule has been adjusted, which season each team will have a bye week, the first quarter of 1999 pony 3 weeks after the lightning victory over the rest bye week, the fifth week, their opponents will be the partition rivals the Miami Dolphins.
23-year-old brat Manning, so far inch power did not stand, but remarkable potential; 38-year-old Marino spent his whole life but never won the Super Bowl, but has swept all the records on the pass. The game looks like a royal ceremony of the 1990s and the new century.
This also sleepy in the first three quarters in war RCA Dome stadium, but the fourth quarter ushered in the climax. Dan - Marino a record 28 yards long pass found Tony - Martin (Tony Martin) allow dolphins catching the score, outside pony Wilkins took over immediately respond to a record kickoff return touchdowns. At this time, anti-run backyard fire pony, Thistle - Collins (Cecil Collins) dolphins complete a long code count washed away touchdowns. Manning and Marcus - Pollard completed convey long array, dolphin kick into the kick, three minutes left in the game, pony lead six minutes. Colts left tackle Tarik at this time - the end zone before Glenn made a fatal mistake, once fouls to give the dolphins a security two points, will hand the ball out, "kill God" Dan - Marino can not miss such a good opportunity, fourth gear 50 yards long pass found the suicide note Orient - Gadsden, then hold a high, short convey the array to find Gadsden, dolphins go-ahead 3 points! Colts final counterattack chance with 30 seconds left, but the audience near-perfect performance of Manning, Harrison is trying to find other lore steals! And this man is none other than Manning Department of fighting twice steals Trail - Buckley.
Manning pass 24 3 17 274 yards touchdowns, plus that steals damn, Marino 38 pass 25 is 393 yards two touchdowns. After the game, Manning and the presence of central Marino whisper a long time, just like the transfer of tribal kingship, although the old king still airs told the new king:. "I do not give, you can not grab," but the old king grown old men, and had to hand over the throne.
Although the 99 pre-season victory over the four negative half, but the Colts offensive group after running, finally stereotypes. Fourth grade Malvern - Harrison fixed on the right side, rookie Terrence - Wilkins left home, running back Ai Jilin - James column in the backcourt, two tight end Ken - Dilger (Ken Dilger) and horses Marcus - Pollard peer columns on both sides of the front line in the attack, after which a person or is evacuated to the field to play fullback.
Pavement attack, the offensive front five plus two tight end, a number of advantages to make the pony road stage will cover the outbreak; passing attack, the ball-point favorite Manning Harrison will come with a personal capacity the left cornerback singled out each other's, Harrison already has the ability to get rid of the league's top Manning - Harrison connection is passing a pony plan. After the kick-off is usually straightforward Wilkins left side attack opponents backcourt, he said the attack, the other role is to tear opponents lineup, let the middle appear neutral. Shallow area where Ai Jilin - James has a good ability to catch, Manning pass to become an alternative to using a running back last season and indistinguishable, he fully engraved Marshall - Falk's role.
Tom - a key figure in Moore's offensive system, two different styles of tight end. In conventional routine, Dilger and Pollard robbery interspersed with lateral route, there is no difference in usage. 196 cm, 114 kg of Dilger like a diminutive NBA power forward, he is good at the cover of the road, more like a fullback, also specialize in each other's weakness when running route; 191 cm, 113 kg of college basketball has been played Pollard is more flexible, even before his career total of only 16 catches for three quarters, but he could find his place in Moore's system, sometimes more like a tall wide receiver, drive straight, beat up opponents security guard. Moore coach although not the instigator of double tight end tactics, but two-tight end pony by his tactics a little guidance, it appears to shine.
Manning has such a sophisticated offensive weapons, naturally fire full of? Not, in fact, Jim - and Mora - Tom Moore made important adjustments at this time, the next four weeks fell even Jets, Bengals, Troy - Emirates Aikman Cowboys, defensive terror group, Ai Jilin - James and offensive front line almost every high level of play per game, a balanced attack mode to James almost all washed away a total of one hundred yards per game. But four wins among them three games is the fourth wave flow Manning led to complete reversal, which is called the offensive balance and stability, and finally by personal ability Manning to resolve the fighting. That's why the first four games were Manning came 1185 yards 10 touchdowns and six interceptions, two wins and two losses pony; and the next four games Manning came 1097 yards total of 5 touchdowns 3 steals, but it can pony four straight victories.
Followed by continuous easily beat the Giants, Eagles, Jets, Colts follow suit, with the same balanced attack strategy, tactics Manning is an excellent performer, although not much passing yardage, but the ball hit the high rate scary, coupled with continued play defense group, pony accumulated a 7-game winning streak. The next one, the colt went to Florida to challenge Marino and dolphins.
This war third quarter, Manning single again sent two steals, Marino led the Dolphins beginning of the fourth quarter to tie the score. Gongchoujiaocuo, remaining time and 30 seconds, while the sides of the score was 34 flat, the road was too late to attack, Speed, continuous two steps shotgun formation, Manning's most trusted partner Marvin - Harrison twice to come forward received a long pass out of the final second-year kicker Mike - Van Jeter a record lock on a free kick 53 yards, his first victory over Manning Marino and dolphins! 2 steals away with it, Manning audience 29 passes, there are only four unfinished "new king" retaliate "old king" one city.
Then the Patriots vs. the first half of the red pony who pass a harsh lesson Bledsoe, and Pony offense is stable as usual, I thought the beginning of the fourth quarter Tyrone - Poole's copy cut have killed the game, but the tenacious Bledsoe killed or led back end of the game continuous pursuit, a Patriots touchdown pass record just five points behind Manning was kept off the ball a kick-off mistake let the ball right back to the Patriots, seeing opponents to complete the go-ahead, the defense group finally come forward and pressed glass slide counterattack Patriots, Colts 20-15 win.
So far this season the only lost two games, the Dolphins and the Patriots were reversed pony; the second half duel again, but with a reversal pony and stick to victory completed a double revenge.
Subsequently win over the Redskins and Brown, two consecutive fourth quarter to lead his team win the game, Manning data does not look good, but the team actually made a 11-game winning streak. After the end of the week against the Bill to ensure that first-round playoff bye, Manning played only three, comfortably sitting on the bench watching veteran Steve - Steve Walsh (Steve Walsh) led to lose such an innocuous the match of.
13 wins, 3 losses, compared to the previous quarter's 3 wins and 13 losses, the difference between winning 10 games two seasons in NFL history to create a record. The top five winning the AL East all Daowu Cheng, three American League wild card, grabbed two eastern United States, topped the AL East champion colt, full of gold. The league has only the Jacksonville Jaguars scored 14 wins, better than the Colts record. Since 1978 regular season reached 16 games each season, the best record of 13 wins and made the pony, and even the number of breakthrough double-digit wins for the first time, there is no doubt that this is one of the greatest in the history of the Colts season.
"Spring Snow" offensive group probably happened quantitative change, but the real counter-attack to lead the pony is qualitative change "low class" defensive group. Lose points from the first 29 league last season rose to 17, lost yardage increased from 29 to 15, the road lost yardage increased from 29 to 18, coach Mora and completed a self-defensive coordinator Fangio salvation.
Peyton - Manning shot the ball 533 times this season (fourth in the league), 331 completed passes (third in the league), passing shooting 62.1% (second in the league), passing yardage 4,135 yards (third in the league) , 26 passing touchdowns (third in the league), quarterback rating of 90.7 points (fourth in the league), led six times the fourth quarter comeback, winning all seven wave flow is the highest league.
A key data: 15 was the other steals, compared to the previous season's 28 times faster almost half less. 15 times more than 10 steals in the league, so look is still very bad, right? Another set of data can explain the problem, Manning's pass per 100 balls, buy jerseys online us will be only 2.8 times the other steals, 99 seasons in the league only 12 fewer quarterback Bi Manning, in short, steals problem already solved!
1976 season, the colt's Burt - Jones (Bert Jones), Liddell - Mitchell (Lydell Mitchell), Roger - Carl (Roger Carr) became the first quarterback in team history - running back - elite wide receiver combination .
The 1999 season, rookie running back Ai Jilin - 369 times this season, James rushed the ball advancing 1553 yards 13 touchdowns, plus 62 times the ball forward 582 yards 4 touchdowns. Good partner Marvin - Harrison is 115 times the ball forward 1663 yards 12 touchdowns. Inadvertently, pony sitting on a younger version of the "new Troika."
"The new Troika" is also following the 1995 Lions Scott - Mitchell (Scott Mitchell), Barry - Sanders and Herman - since Moore (Herman Moore), the first pass - red ball - 4000 + complete ball, 1500 + 1500 + the portfolio. Three young faces, have begun to leave their names in NFL glorious book.
The end of the regular season, and some even shouting Manning compete for MVP, this view is not too much. As early as before the start of 1998 season, "Football Outsiders" Web site has been pointed out that, 80 years into the league's elite quarterbacks are entering its twilight years, Vanni - Tavi Jordi Waters, Randall - Corning Khan (Randall Cunningham), Steve - Young, John - Elway and Dan - Marino are over the age of 35 years, and even Troy - Aikman are 32 years old. The NFL star is good at making alliances, always the needs of young superstars to lead the trend, and Manning not get votes in the MVP voting in the 1999 season, also became the most powerful candidate for the new signs alliance.
But naysayers still flooded, "want to be a star, to win a playoff."

At the end of the 1990s, only 30 teams at the time, so the partition model is similar to today's NBA architecture, and 15 teams in the United States, and then distributes into the Eastern District according to the 5 teams of each partition. , Central, Western District.AFC EAST, in addition to pony, also Miami Dolphin, New England Patriots, New York Jet and Buffalo Bill Four Team.
Dolphin, Tang-Shura and "Killing God" Dan-Marino, Dan Malino, only a quarter of the victory rate below 50%, unclosed partitioning, and after retirement, another Shuai Jimmy Jimmy took a teaching whip, the team did not have a signs of retreat, taking advantage of Marino, the dolphins were still a competition for a seasons.
The history of patriotism is not long, and the 1980s is also a big broken team. Robert Kraft is quite building a tree in the fields of papermaking, packaging, entertainment, real estate and private investment. In the early 1990s, the Clavite family officially acquired patriots, from this patriot, no matter whether it is from payments or records Implementing the turn loss, Bill Pasers (Bill Parcells) and 93 Yidu Bradiso also led the patriot in the 1996 season to enter the super bowl, just will be lost to Brett-Method Brett Favre's packaging worker. The 97-season pagodies agreed to the Shuai from the team, hired Pete Carroll, which was a good coaching qualified, became a new coach, immediately killed the playoffs.
In addition to the "Flower Mon" Joe-Na Mas, the team has been arrogant, the jet is not as good as the city of the New York, 97 Sub-Pasils (Zon's merits " New York City, the jet record has a significant improvement, although the four-point guards 87 years, Vinny Testaverde, is a stadium, and there will be no highlight performance, but the star runs Kintis. - Martin Martin joined the jet in order to repay Pasils, 96 years, and the high-end handle, KEYSHAWN JOHNSON is also an offensive group heavy gun.
Bill's brilliant and embarrassing story in the early 1990s did not have to repeat it, Mf Levi, Jim Kelly, has passed the torch to Wade Phillips and David before the 98 quarter. Doug Flutie, seems to be a team of rebuilding, but the thin camel is big, plus Sherman Thomas and Bruce Smith (Bruce Smith) Two future celebrities The ciaoc stars still played the heat, and the outside world did not dare to see the fading.
Due to the time of the competition, the teams were required to carry out a game with other opponents from the partition each season, which means that there will be half of the 16 regular seasonings from the seasons from the partzas civil war, and they must fight with the Tigers in the Eastern District. , The prospects of the pony are not used, and the light is a desperate breath.
After the journey of the 1998, the Pony came on the patriot and jet, and the two battles added 12 to 73, and the scene was also extremely ugly. The defensive group is soft, especially can't stop the opponent's pavement, and the competition has not entered the stage, and the little horses are paid early.
Manning's days are also difficult, and the pony offensive system takes Folk as the core, the game opening stage, Manning is often just a delivery, a short pass, and some simple work; waiting until the big bit behind, Moore coach Arrange the ball attack, Manning is only a new show, lack sufficient ability to complete the ball, then, Manning's self-confidence is destroyed after passing the ball once failed. In the two games, only 361 yards were passed, and the hit rate was just 50%, and it was more than 5 times. Misunderstanding of defensive, communication, cross-wearing body pass, etc., Manning sent out the copy of the temporary, these mistakes also hurt the team.
Manning, while in the middle of the fans, there seems to have a slight light, when Manning desperately, slowly crawling forward, but found that the light source is in a distance, galloping.
The fourth battle against the New Orleans Saints, this is a Hanning's more familiar opponent, but the first four points of the other party have saved him "hate the bones", old opponent Danny-Woolfel replacement Kerry Collins first. Manning is again lost again, and once again, 3 times, the turnover of 3 times, especially the overtill in the overtime game, let the saints start from the pony half, Wover Fair is found to find Cam-Clock (Cam Cleeland) A sword seal!
Open four games! At this time, I stood out at the time of the time, "the parallel champion" is in the ear, the outside world is also questioned, Jim Mora morning makes Manning as the first decision is not a mistake, more, hopes to pay the eagle four-point guard Former small horse replenishment four points Bil Musgrave, please visit Manning, the media believes that an elderly leader can save the horses. Regardless of the external rumors, the team is still very convinced of Manning, there is no longer a summary lesson, not a family, and another "accommodation" coming again.
Day 5, the media advocated "the enemy of life" Manning and Liv finally met. What is the performance before Lev? In fact, this guild is worse than Manning. The first four battles pass the kids have just passed 40%, and the average only 140 yards per game. Only the one passing the ball is reached, the delivery is reached. 8 times!
On October 4th, a full-scale defensive battle, the whole game was only held 28 times, and the player became the protagonist. The pony team rely on the competition to win 10 points, and finally 17-12 defeated. San Diego lightning. Manning is only 23 pass 12 137 yards 1 time reached 1 time being copied, and the 160 yards of Lev 23 passed 12 did not reach 1 time being copied, and the two sides data were in autumn.
The competition is lacking, but this war is the meaning of Manning, not only the first victory of career is so simple. More predictively, Manning and Lev, from the day of step into the league threshold, they are destined to be like two front collision planets, there is always a straight horns to rush to the sky, and another However, it will fall into the abyss of the day.
Fortunately, Manning is the former. The next few games, Manning became more confident, the Birki and Dual-Futipi were born, then the battle Steve-Yang did not fear, Manning opened "brush brush" continuous Outlet 3 rendered, only lost to the end of 49 people.
On November 15th, the continuous sending copy of Manning in the first half of November again allowed the team to fall into the bottom of the wind, but the second half begins, the Pony's "Koyel Chang Chuan System" is sent, Manning's 38 The code is long and the Harrison, which is the right, is completed, the score is close to 6 points. In the fourth quarter, Tastavre Di "heart is soft", it is delayed to kill the game, the Pony got a fatal opportunity 3 minutes before the final. Eliminate the foul and Manning-Harrison, the pony caused the jet halfway, 30 seconds before the game, Manning hid to kill, a midway directly found the Dunction of Marcus in the end area Polad (Marcus Pollar), chasing score! Playing the ball Mike Vanderjagt Additional drawback, the pony is reversed! 24-23, this is Pedon-Manning career first brought the team to achieve reversal, but also as a best offensive player in Zhou Meilian.
Of course, Manning is so high in the glory, and the problem of pony is endless, and there are 6 games in the season, and the pony lost 5 games, even Manning came out 357 yards in the game. At the times, I still escaped the media 's own compulsory, Mora coach took the initiative to take responsibility, he did not regret the decision of Manning's first, I hope everyone can reflect more patients..
At the time of the time, Manning and Mora, like a pair of fathers, although the son didn't completely forgive his father's difficulties, but his father always hovered his child behind him, and shielded the wind.
Before the end of the season, Manning made a short season review: "The next thing I can do is trying to make yourself strive. I really don't know why this season will turn this, I want a week. Still progress, but the reality is, many times my performance is like sitting in the mountain trolley. "
At the end of the 1998 season, the small horses only achieved 3 wins and 13 losses, and the defensive group lost 27 points. It is even worse. The pony has almost lost all the matches close to the game, including 5 games leading 10 points The above is turned over.
In the 575 biography of Manning New show season, 56.7% of the pass rate, 3739 yards 26 times, 71.2 quarter-branch collections. The transcript has no big book, but the 3739 code passed the number of splitters, but the number of rookular passed records recorded in the 1993 season.
In fact, there is still a parameter on the Manning's data column that is not listed, that is, the interception. Simply, this party passed by the other defenders before they did not fall, and immediately convert the ball immediately. At the other side of the interference, it is said that it has lost a profit machine, which is called in this half means that the other party has received an excellent offensive starting position, more, it is possible to copy back to an attack. New Xiuji Manning has sent 28 copies of the total alliance, 28 cases of copying, like 28 steel needles, a four-point heart, will destroy a person's self-confidence to land, if not Manning & mdash; & mdash; Former career four-dimensional child, perhaps other people have already collapsed.
There is an optimistial analysis. If you use the top 6 games in the top 6 games, Manning is only 54.3% of the hit rate, 7 times to 14 times of being copied; 10 games at the end of the season, 58.4% hit rate, 20 times Dalgate 14 times. Manning has completed self-cultivation and progress in quietness.
"Future accommodation" Ryan Lev only hit 9 first hair, the hit rate is 45.3%, 1289 yards 2 times, 15 teeses, than Manning worse.
In 1998, in addition to the Pony, the other four teams in the United States of America have killed the playoffs. The strength of the Tiger Wolf is undoubted, but there are no longer, in the foot of the defending champion Danfo wild horse, the wild horse relies on 38 years old. John Elvi and the young Junjie Trell Davis's double sword, won the Madian Clamown. DETA, Minnesota Weijing played a rare and magnificent offensive performance in nfl jerseys, but the national contest was accidentally lost to Atlantan Falcon. On the ultimate super bowl, the wild horses defeated the Falcon, Elvi asked the Super Bowl MVP.
Soon, John Elvi announced the end of his 16-year career, and the super bowl of champion is also a period of perfect ending. In fact, if Elvi did not win two champions in his last two seasons, perhaps he was only a precious quarter of the data in history. Yes, NFL is so cruel, Cheng Wang defeated.
In the spring of 1999, Manning had passed his 23-year-old birthday, but it didn't have any good news before this. Although it broke the record of the new code, the "best offensive today" is owned by Landy Moss, there is no way, "monster" pushes 1313 yards and 17 times in the new show season. Professional bowl star competition and the best lineup of the season. Another "family" Charles-Woodn Woodn Woodn Woodson Woods Woodson won the trophy of "the best defensive new show" in the season.
The next day, the alliance completes a shocking transaction, and the small horse is related to: When the star Mark Folk is traded to the team!
The origin of things comes from Folk 1994 new show seasons and small Malays 6 years only 1.42 million rookie contracts, how can I find that the salary cap will rise in the next few years, I have gone in 1998, and passengers can get 2 million. The annual salary, the stadium is the shopping mall, a few years of fighting, Folk's elite performance is enough to seek a bigger contract, even under the proceedings of the broker, Folk began to threate the horsema management.
In most cases, the team must not screw the star, provide a big contract, and the super-star Form also has a big contract. Which is a small horse boss Jim-Ersse and general manager Bill Polyan not recognizes the mash, wants 8 million yuan? What joke is open? From ancient times, I have never heard of running guards to take 8 million. The situation is deadlocked, and finally, the pony has made a pen trading with the St. Louis Rasca of Folk and the Kingdom, and the Folk is sent away. In exchange for a two-round signs and a five-round sign for the 99-year elimination meeting, but also beautiful name Maintaining the order of dressing room. "
Folk is cheerful under the coupling, hip hop, no one is actually, such a player is in New York or Los Angeles may not be much different, Indianapolis is a serious industrial city, the people of this city Treating a meticulous work, treating sports extreme enthusiasm, reinforced concrete urban character, in the city center Sculpture is a solemn face, to see how Falk also some out of tune, leave, perhaps not a bad thing.
Team boss was traded, Manning turned my heart like a cruet. But from another perspective, Manning and Harrison to be ready to start when the protagonist.
Placid entire offseason, in addition to the new Cleveland Browns NFL to join the family, it seems that no news can ripples the lake. It is naturally not noticed, Marshall - Falk's new owner Rams quarterback lineup constantly adjust, quietly left a 27 year old sophomore quarterback.
1999 NBA Draft, the top three of Brown, Eagles and Tigers were chosen - Tim Couch (Tim Couch), Donovan - McNabb (Donovan McNabb) and Achille - Smith (Akili Smith) three quarterback. University of Texas the most popular champion, just won the Heisman running back Ricky - Williams (Ricky Williams) no one cares more exaggerated, the Philadelphia Eagles did not choose Williams, Eagles fans booed loudly, after three pick, the more the idea of the story: saints coach Mike - Di Teka (Mike Ditka) in order to get the name of this talented running back, at 99 years with a first-round, third, fourth, fifth sixth, seventh round draft picks, with the first round of next year's signing sent out, and so was the future of the team purse.
Pony in the offseason to do a kind of make up? Draft fourth overall, they also skipped the Ricky - Williams, but the choice of Ai Jilin University of Miami running back - James (Edgerrin James), this guy is a total of three years of college ball a few yards closer to the red 3000 yards, and an average of 14.2 yards per reception able to advance, it is also very suitable pony "Coryell long pass system", say there may be some obscure, put it another way, the colt got "Falk II. "
On the offensive front, care front, "fitness spree" Tony - Manda Ridge (Tony Mandarich) retired, plus Jay - Liu Wenbo grid (Jay Leeuwenburg) left the band, so that the inside of the front-line offensive - Larry Moore (Larry Moore) and Waverly - Jackson (Waverly Jackson) became a starter, the strength has improved. - Tom Moore despise wide receiver Jerome - Poisson's fast enough to pull the defense, directly voted rookie Terrence - Wilkins (Terrance Wilkins) replaced starter, second-year wide receiver EG smaller Green (EG Green ) has also been entrusted with the task.
98 quarter pony loss of points and lost yardage are ranked second to last in the league, how to strengthen the defense has become the biggest issue pony off-season. Did not hesitate to fire defensive coordinator Rusty - Tillman (Rusty Tillman), then hired former Panthers defensive coordinator Vic - Fangio (Vic Fangio), in fact 98 season the Panthers defense is better than a pony to bad, why he was able to get the favor of the pony? Fangio in Saint period as assistant and Jim - Mora worked nine seasons, virtuous does not avoid pro Fangio get a chance again in Midland posts.
Defense group over and over ruins, uniform set of nature is engaged in massive construction projects to rebuild, Bernard - moved within Wei Dingdun (Bernard Whittington) defensive tackle position, signed 130 kilograms of powerful defensive end Shaun from the free market - gold (Shawn King) and a good pass rush and the same weight reached 122 kg of Chad - Brad Nowitzki (Chad Bratzke), plus 95 years of first-round pick Ellis - Johnson, heavy weapons load, Colts defensive front line the average weight reached 127 kg, pony bent stout defensive front line to use and opponent's attack head-on the road. Falk to deal with that second-round pick, pony chose college and had played against Manning, outside linebacker at the University of Florida - Mike Peterson (Mike Peterson), plus the famous sign from the free market within the veteran Cornelius - Bennett (Cornelius Bennett), compared to 98 season, Colts defensive front seven has been the main change Fifth, big shake demonstrate determination to improve the defense of colt.
Payton offseason doing? In addition to joint training and brother together, Payton still kept in pocket skilled own pace, in addition to "cave man" and whenever you keep studying the video, and that makes it dawned on him why there so rookie season more steals. The reason is simple, NFL defensive group of players are from the country's elite defender, their full power and technology class, right on the ball with extreme desire, Manning tried to use a simple short pass, the other party would probably have to pass pre-judgment ball intent; after college arena Manning dare to challenge the use of long pass defense field, and to the professional arena, the other is likely to give a ruthless mind steals.
Manning said: "A player must have a goal, whether it is day or a lifetime I like to target are listed, then there is time to look at whether or not the goals.." So, Manning put his new goal of the season posted in the locker room the most visible position. There is no doubt that the 1999 season Manning biggest goal: to reduce steals, the better.
Season open play 99 regular-season opener against the Bill, Colts defensive group blocked the road to attack Bill, Manning and Harrison and two wide receivers Green heats up, the audience sent 284 yards and 2 touchdowns, 2 steals still looks dazzling, but the Colts 31-14 to win easily. The second week's game against the Patriots, Manning early into the state, led the Colts 28-7 halftime lead the Patriots, but the second half offensive began sleepwalking, and his teammates mistakes again and again, with Drew - Drew Bledsoe wake, patriotic who played pony big climax of 24-0, the last time Manning led the Colts still have a chance to reverse, but still steals the Patriot security guard - Chris Carter (Chris Carter) let Manning then swallow a bitter defeats.
The third week against the San Diego Chargers, but the "old enemy" Ryan - Leaf trail had disappeared, as early as 98 seasons, Cliff union leaders interviewed reported that San Diego after the game, he was impatient to openly reporter Jay - general Knysna (Jay Posner) freak, then the character issue is hugely magnified. 99 season training camp Leaf secretly sneak the golf accidentally sprained shoulder, he claimed to be passing by when training injury, but general manager Bobby - Beita De (Bobby Beathard) Leaf expose the lies, the coaching staff be suspended 4 games. Even admit Leaf issued a written statement: "I'm too selfish, I own shortcomings affected the team and my career," the coaching staff remained unmoved in his bench press, and this established and Manning duel, the Leaf can only be sidelined. Lightning starting in this field is also an old acquaintance & mdash; & mdash; Jim - Hubble, pony can not forget the past love, red setter who was chasing the Hubble flying over the court, pony final 27-19 win easily.
Manning fingertips 404 yards, breaking Johnny - Younaitasi maintained pony single-game passing yardage record.
97 season, Cleveland Browns owner Art - Modell (Art Modell) decided to move the team to Baltimore, became the league new army Baltimore Ravens. But two years later, Jia Buzhu Cleveland fans enthusiasm, the new Cleveland Browns came into being 99 NFL seasons to join the family, the league has 31 teams. This makes the Union on the schedule has been adjusted, which season each team will have a bye week, the first quarter of 1999 pony 3 weeks after the lightning victory over the rest bye week, the fifth week, their opponents will be the partition rivals the Miami Dolphins.
23-year-old brat Manning, so far inch power did not stand, but remarkable potential; 38-year-old Marino spent his whole life but never won the Super Bowl, but has swept all the records on the pass. The game looks like a royal ceremony of the 1990s and the new century.
This also sleepy in the first three quarters in war RCA Dome stadium, but the fourth quarter ushered in the climax. Dan - Marino a record 28 yards long pass found Tony - Martin (Tony Martin) allow dolphins catching the score, outside pony Wilkins took over immediately respond to a record kickoff return touchdowns. At this time, anti-run backyard fire pony, Thistle - Collins (Cecil Collins) dolphins complete a long code count washed away touchdowns. Manning and Marcus - Pollard completed convey long array, dolphin kick into the kick, three minutes left in the game, pony lead six minutes. Colts left tackle Tarik at this time - the end zone before Glenn made a fatal mistake, once fouls to give the dolphins a security two points, will hand the ball out, "kill God" Dan - Marino can not miss such a good opportunity, fourth gear 50 yards long pass found the suicide note Orient - Gadsden, then hold a high, short convey the array to find Gadsden, dolphins go-ahead 3 points! Colts final counterattack chance with 30 seconds left, but the audience near-perfect performance of Manning, Harrison is trying to find other lore steals! And this man is none other than Manning Department of fighting twice steals Trail - Buckley.
Manning pass 24 3 17 274 yards touchdowns, plus that steals damn, Marino 38 pass 25 is 393 yards two touchdowns. After the game, Manning and the presence of central Marino whisper a long time, just like the transfer of tribal kingship, although the old king still airs told the new king:. "I do not give, you can not grab," but the old king grown old men, and had to hand over the throne.
Although the 99 pre-season victory over the four negative half, but the Colts offensive group after running, finally stereotypes. Fourth grade Malvern - Harrison fixed on the right side, rookie Terrence - Wilkins left home, running back Ai Jilin - James column in the backcourt, two tight end Ken - Dilger (Ken Dilger) and horses Marcus - Pollard peer columns on both sides of the front line in the attack, after which a person or is evacuated to the field to play fullback.
Pavement attack, the offensive front five plus two tight end, a number of advantages to make the pony road stage will cover the outbreak; passing attack, the ball-point favorite Manning Harrison will come with a personal capacity the left cornerback singled out each other's, Harrison already has the ability to get rid of the league's top Manning - Harrison connection is passing a pony plan. After the kick-off is usually straightforward Wilkins left side attack opponents backcourt, he said the attack, the other role is to tear opponents lineup, let the middle appear neutral. Shallow area where Ai Jilin - James has a good ability to catch, Manning pass to become an alternative to using a running back last season and indistinguishable, he fully engraved Marshall - Falk's role.
Tom - a key figure in Moore's offensive system, two different styles of tight end. In conventional routine, Dilger and Pollard robbery interspersed with lateral route, there is no difference in usage. 196 cm, 114 kg of Dilger like a diminutive NBA power forward, he is good at the cover of the road, more like a fullback, also specialize in each other's weakness when running route; 191 cm, 113 kg of college basketball has been played Pollard is more flexible, even before his career total of only 16 catches for three quarters, but he could find his place in Moore's system, sometimes more like a tall wide receiver, drive straight, beat up opponents security guard. Moore coach although not the instigator of double tight end tactics, but two-tight end pony by his tactics a little guidance, it appears to shine.
Manning has such a sophisticated offensive weapons, naturally fire full of? Not, in fact, Jim - and Mora - Tom Moore made important adjustments at this time, the next four weeks fell even Jets, Bengals, Troy - Emirates Aikman Cowboys, defensive terror group, Ai Jilin - James and offensive front line almost every high level of play per game, a balanced attack mode to James almost all washed away a total of one hundred yards per game. But four wins among them three games is the fourth wave flow Manning led to complete reversal, which is called the offensive balance and stability, and finally by personal ability Manning to resolve the fighting. That's why the first four games were Manning came 1185 yards 10 touchdowns and six interceptions, two wins and two losses pony; and the next four games Manning came 1097 yards total of 5 touchdowns 3 steals, but it can pony four straight victories.
Followed by continuous easily beat the Giants, Eagles, Jets, Colts follow suit, with the same balanced attack strategy, tactics Manning is an excellent performer, although not much passing yardage, but the ball hit the high rate scary, coupled with continued play defense group, pony accumulated a 7-game winning streak. The next one, the colt went to Florida to challenge Marino and dolphins.
This war third quarter, Manning single again sent two steals, Marino led the Dolphins beginning of the fourth quarter to tie the score. Gongchoujiaocuo, remaining time and 30 seconds, while the sides of the score was 34 flat, the road was too late to attack, Speed, continuous two steps shotgun formation, Manning's most trusted partner Marvin - Harrison twice to come forward received a long pass out of the final second-year kicker Mike - Van Jeter a record lock on a free kick 53 yards, his first victory over Manning Marino and dolphins! 2 steals away with it, Manning audience 29 passes, there are only four unfinished "new king" retaliate "old king" one city.
Then the Patriots vs. the first half of the red pony who pass a harsh lesson Bledsoe, and Pony offense is stable as usual, I thought the beginning of the fourth quarter Tyrone - Poole's copy cut have killed the game, but the tenacious Bledsoe killed or led back end of the game continuous pursuit, a Patriots touchdown pass record just five points behind Manning was kept off the ball a kick-off mistake let the ball right back to the Patriots, seeing opponents to complete the go-ahead, the defense group finally come forward and pressed glass slide counterattack Patriots, Colts 20-15 win.
So far this season the only lost two games, the Dolphins and the Patriots were reversed pony; the second half duel again, but with a reversal pony and stick to victory completed a double revenge.
Subsequently win over the Redskins and Brown, two consecutive fourth quarter to lead his team win the game, Manning data does not look good, but the team actually made a 11-game winning streak. After the end of the week against the Bill to ensure that first-round playoff bye, Manning played only three, comfortably sitting on the bench watching veteran Steve - Steve Walsh (Steve Walsh) led to lose such an innocuous the match of.
13 wins, 3 losses, compared to the previous quarter's 3 wins and 13 losses, the difference between winning 10 games two seasons in NFL history to create a record. The top five winning the AL East all Daowu Cheng, three American League wild card, grabbed two eastern United States, topped the AL East champion colt, full of gold. The league has only the Jacksonville Jaguars scored 14 wins, better than the Colts record. Since 1978 regular season reached 16 games each season, the best record of 13 wins and made the pony, and even the number of breakthrough double-digit wins for the first time, there is no doubt that this is one of the greatest in the history of the Colts season.
"Spring Snow" offensive group probably happened quantitative change, but the real counter-attack to lead the pony is qualitative change "low class" defensive group. Lose points from the first 29 league last season rose to 17, lost yardage increased from 29 to 15, the road lost yardage increased from 29 to 18, coach Mora and completed a self-defensive coordinator Fangio salvation.
Peyton - Manning shot the ball 533 times this season (fourth in the league), 331 completed passes (third in the league), passing shooting 62.1% (second in the league), passing yardage 4,135 yards (third in the league) , 26 passing touchdowns (third in the league), quarterback rating of 90.7 points (fourth in the league), led six times the fourth quarter comeback, winning all seven wave flow is the highest league.
A key data: 15 was the other steals, compared to the previous season's 28 times faster almost half less. 15 times more than 10 steals in the league, so look is still very bad, right? Another set of data can explain the problem, Manning's pass per 100 balls, buy jerseys online us will be only 2.8 times the other steals, 99 seasons in the league only 12 fewer quarterback Bi Manning, in short, steals problem already solved!
1976 season, the colt's Burt - Jones (Bert Jones), Liddell - Mitchell (Lydell Mitchell), Roger - Carl (Roger Carr) became the first quarterback in team history - running back - elite wide receiver combination .
The 1999 season, rookie running back Ai Jilin - 369 times this season, James rushed the ball advancing 1553 yards 13 touchdowns, plus 62 times the ball forward 582 yards 4 touchdowns. Good partner Marvin - Harrison is 115 times the ball forward 1663 yards 12 touchdowns. Inadvertently, pony sitting on a younger version of the "new Troika."
"The new Troika" is also following the 1995 Lions Scott - Mitchell (Scott Mitchell), Barry - Sanders and Herman - since Moore (Herman Moore), the first pass - red ball - 4000 + complete ball, 1500 + 1500 + the portfolio. Three young faces, have begun to leave their names in NFL glorious book.
The end of the regular season, and some even shouting Manning compete for MVP, this view is not too much. As early as before the start of 1998 season, "Football Outsiders" Web site has been pointed out that, 80 years into the league's elite quarterbacks are entering its twilight years, Vanni - Tavi Jordi Waters, Randall - Corning Khan (Randall Cunningham), Steve - Young, John - Elway and Dan - Marino are over the age of 35 years, and even Troy - Aikman are 32 years old. The NFL star is good at making alliances, always the needs of young superstars to lead the trend, and Manning not get votes in the MVP voting in the 1999 season, also became the most powerful candidate for the new signs alliance.
But naysayers still flooded, "want to be a star, to win a playoff."
