finale

"I like it," perennial Pro Bowl end Robert Mathis wrote on his Twitter account.
And this tweet from safety Antoine Bethea: "New Head Coach in town!! Hope he brings that Raven style of defense with him!!"
That remains to be seen. In Baltimore, Pagano leaned on a Pro Bowl-saturated lineup that included Reed, linebackers Ray Lewis,
Terrell Suggs and Johnson, and tackle Haloti Ngata.
Bethea is a former Pro Bowler, but the Colts' only true difference-makers on defense are Mathis and end Dwight Freeney. It's
debatable if they have the required talent in the front seven to play a 3-4.
"What Chuck's going to do is look at the players in the room and fit the defense he runs around the talent he has," Johnson said.
"People say we were a straight 3-4, but we really were a hybrid. We play a little bit of everything."
Pagano inherits a team coming off its worst season in two decades and must help Irsay decide whether Manning is part of the
comprehensive rebuilding that's taking place. Manning still is rehabilitating from Sept. 8 neck surgery that forced him to miss the
2011 season. He is due a $28 million option bonus by March 8 that, if unpaid, makes him an unrestricted free agent.
Also, the Colts hold the first overall pick in the April draft that likely will deliver Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. Other
significant personnel decisions loom.
Speculation in Baltimore has Pagano perhaps bringing with him defensive line coach Clarence Brooks and linebackers coach Dean
Pees from the Ravens staff, although Pees might be in position to succeed Pagano as coordinator. He also might consider Butch Davis,
with whom he has a long relationship.
Rookie offensive tackle Anthony Castonzo is taking a wait-and-see approach, with a caveat.
"My first reaction, I know he's an Italian guy," Castonzo said. "His last name ends with an 'o,' and my last name ends with an 'o.'
Beyond that, I don't know anything about him."
