Considering the difficulty the Bucs have had assembling a coaching staff — three times they were denied requests by NFL teams to interview candidates for offensive coordinator — it's impressive the team landed Sullivan. In 2010, Eli Manning threw a career-high 25 interceptions, which led to some finger-pointing. But he also passed for 4,002 yards and a career-high 31 touchdowns while leading the Giants to a 10-6 record. Sullivan went to work last offseason, using an array of unconventional drills to improve Manning's ability to be accurate while passing on the move. One year after Freeman threw for 25 touchdowns and six interceptions, he took a step back in 2011 with 16 scoring passes and 22 interceptions. Not that it was all bad. Freeman improved his completion percentage (62.8 from 61.4) and passed for more yards (3,592 from 3,351).
