[QUOTE="CaliforniaCheez, post: 35213, member: 167"] From Packers.com Now in his sixth season as the Packers' offensive coordinator, Tom Rossley enters his 29th year of coaching and 10th NFL campaign in 2005. Under Rossley, the Packers' 2004 offensive powerhouse ranked third overall in the NFL, topping the NFC in both total offense (397.3 yards per game - the most since 1983) and passing offense (278.1 - the most since 2001). Destined to change the record books and improve an already top producer in the NFL, the offense totaled 6,357 net yards and 4,459 net yards passing, each the most in the Packers' previous 83 NFL seasons. Other single-season records for 2004 included overall first downs (354 - the most in 15 years), completions (382 - most since 1994) and fewest sacks allowed (14 - tied for the NFL lead last season). Additionally, the Packers ranked second in the league in converting third downs (47.3 percent) and paced the NFL on third-and-6 or longer (37.4 percent). The offense also proved reliable with the NFC's fourth-best red-zone TD percentage (57.7, 30-for-52). Over the past five seasons, Rossley's offense has executed in the most reliable fashion, ranking among the NFL's top 10 in several categories. From 2000-04, the Packers rank second in passing touchdowns (150) and fewest sacks allowed (116); fourth in completion percentage (62.1); overall touchdowns (231) and points (2,007); fifth in net passing yards (18,764), TD-to-INT ratio (1.72), passing first downs (975) and gross passing yards (19,587); sixth in total offense (29,322); and eighth in rushing yards (9,735). In addition to the well-built offensive squad as a whole, Rossley had four offensive players voted to the 2005 Pro Bowl this past February - running back Ahman Green for the fourth consecutive season, guard Marco Rivera for the third consecutive season, 10-year veteran fullback William Henderson and wide receiver Javon Walker, the latter two for the first time. In 2003, Rossley fielded an offensive squad that accomplished what no other NFL offense in history has produced: rushing for at least 2,500 yards, passing for at least 3,300 yards, completing at least 65 percent of its passes, rushing for at least 18 touchdowns and passing for at least 32 touchdowns. The Packers' offense jumped to fourth overall in the league, up from 12th the previous season, with 5,788 yards of offense, the second most in team annals; they also totaled 442 points, second best in club history behind the 1996 Super Bowl squad, and amassed 53 touchdowns, tying for the second most with the 1962 Packers. ROSSLEY AT A GLANCE * Joined Packers on Jan. 26, 2000. * Has coached 30 seasons on the offensive side of the ball, including six seasons as a head coach at the major college level and 10 seasons as an offensive coordinator. * Using virtually the same personnel, has coordinated an offense that established the franchise rushing record (2,558) in 2003 and both the total offense (6,357) and net passing (4,459) marks in 2004. * Rossley's 2003 offense became the first in NFL annals to total at least: 2,500 yards rushing, 3,300 yards passing, a 65 percent completion percentage, 18 rushing touchdowns and 32 passing touchdowns. * A two-year letter winner as a receiver at the University of Cincinnati, earned All-America honors in 1968 after ranking second in the nation with a school-record 80 receptions. * As a prep, was an all-conference quarterback at Harvey High School in Painesville, Ohio, the same school that produced Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Don Shula.
