Longtime NFL coach Tom Moore influential in molding Marc Trestman's philosophy

When Ravens offensive coordinator Marc Trestman was a quarterback at the University of Minnesota, he had the benefit of being counseled by longtime coach Tom Moore.

Now the assistant head coach and offensive consultant with the Arizona Cardinals after a previous stint as the Indianapolis Colts' offensive coordinator coaching Peyton Manning, Moore was then the offensive coordinator for the Golden Gophers.

At Minnesota, Moore coached future NFL head coach Tony Dungy -- his starting quarterback -- and Trestman was his backup.

One concept Moore emphasized to Dungy and Trestman was calling several plays in the huddle and then picking one at the line of scrimmage based on how the defense lined up.
