As a fifth-round draft pick in 2006, Anderson exploded onto the scene with 12 sacks for the Super Bowl XLI team. But he had just five sacks during a sophomore slump of a season and then plummeted all the way to one sack last season.

"He's such a technician out there," Anderson said of Marinelli. "He knows stuff and he's been doing it for years. I've never just sat there and focused in the classroom and on the field. I'm excited to work with him because I'm trying to learn something coming up on this last year (of my contract)."

--WR Brandon Lloyd started off impressively last season but then missed six weeks with a sprained knee and disappeared for most of the remainder of the season.
