Cignetti/Fisher press conference just ended: One thing that came out strong was that Rams fully plan to have Bradford on roster for '16.

February 13, 2015 at 5:23 pm #18427AgamemnonParticipantAnother interesting thing: Rams plan to simplify offense reduce volume of playbook from Schottenheimer tenure.
— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) February 13, 2015
Fisher said there will be some change in offense, but overall philosophy will remain the same.
— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) February 13, 2015
To wit, Cignetti says he's always been a big believer in a strong running game.
— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) February 13, 2015
Terminology, playbook, won't change much.
— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) February 13, 2015
All things considered, Fisher said promoting from within and continuity were important factors in hiring from within.

Fisher and Cignetti Press Conference

Interesting. I wonder if this is a “way of getting Tavon more involved”

vI listened to the press conference. They stressed that basically they wanted to get Tavon involved. They want to be sure they can execute the basics right. I think Bradford wanted Cignette. I don’t think they will trade up or reach for a QB in the draft. If a QB drops to them in the first round, who knows? I don’t think that will happen.
February 13, 2015 at 6:00 pm #18433InvaderRamModeratorthese are all good things. i like that they said they will simplify the offense. i don’t think it’s just for tavon. i think it’ll benefit the whole offense.

ok. maybe i’m wrong. still if it gets tavon more involved, i’m all for it. if he had problems digesting the playbook, then i’m a little disappointed that schotty didn’t do more to correct this.

February 13, 2015 at 6:13 pm #18436AgamemnonParticipantCignetti also stressed that he won't deal as much with the QBs as Schottenheimer did as OC.
— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) February 13, 2015
And yes, Cignetti says he plans to get Tavon Austin more involved.
— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) February 13, 2015
Fisher also said Jeff Garcia interview went well for QB coach (it took place Thurs. and also today). Fisher has another candidate. . .
— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) February 13, 2015
. . .for job, may make decision next week.
— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) February 13, 2015
Fisher said Cignetti has been working as OC for about 10 days.
— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) February 13, 2015
February 13, 2015 at 6:16 pm #18437AgamemnonParticipantBoth Fisher and Cignetti talked repeatedly about Sam Bradford in the offense for next year. There is little doubt he'll be in STL in '15.
— Nick Wagoner (@nwagoner) February 13, 2015
Asked about finding a QB to challenge Bradford, Fisher said (paraphrasing) it's not so much about challenging Sam as having options.
— Nick Wagoner (@nwagoner) February 13, 2015
Perhaps most of note, a lot of talk about "reducing and simplifying" the offense. Feeling that last year's O too complicated at times.
— Nick Wagoner (@nwagoner) February 13, 2015
Fisher emphasized that need for offense isn't so much changing what they do as doing what they do better. (my thought: well, yeah.)
— Nick Wagoner (@nwagoner) February 13, 2015
Fisher said Sam Bradford has been in building (Rams Park) every day since the season ended. And Fisher talked to SB before hiring Cignetti.
— Nick Wagoner (@nwagoner) February 13, 2015
Cignetti said foundation of playbook will remain same. Terminology won't change much.

February 13, 2015 at 7:02 pm #18443wvParticipantDidn’t Harbaugh simiplify the 49ers Offense
when he came in? Yes? No?There’s pros and cons to it,
i guess.w

Watch Jeff Fisher introduce Frank Cignetti as the St. Louis Rams new offensive coordinator.Couple of notes.
1. Cigz says he had the same system when he was in SF. That’s interesting because the coordinator in SF that year, Jim Hostler, was an internal hire who kept the same system from the years before. In the years before the coordinator was Norv Turner. This just strengthens the idea that we kinda already knew that Schottenheimer’s offense is basically a Coryell style system.
2. They kept talking about simplifying, putting less on the players, and so on. What that screamed to me is that their goal is to work on execution. (Schott is known for having a complex offense with lots of variations built in. Apparently they are stripping that down a bit.) I think this kind of thing will help guys like Tavon…and I mean help him far more than just the “do more creative things with him” routine. I personally think Tavon’s head has been spinning.
3. Cigz strikes me as a kind of Malavasi on offense. Malavasi was a great D coordinator. Cigz is a little too much the “not a thinking guy’s coordinator” but then, that was true of Malavasi too. It’s a matter of instincts and game smarts.
4. Music to my ears: it’s not system first, it’s build around your players. What can THEY do, now make THAT more effective. That is always my favorite kind of OC.
5. I think after hearing this that RB is a need. This is all “for now anyway I think this” kind of opinionizing. I don;t think they can count on Mason alone, and I don’t think Stacy will be that much of a factor moving forward. They need a 2nd stud to go with Mason. I would rank RB just behind qb and OL.
Didn’t Harbaugh simiplify the 49ers Offense
when he came in? Yes? No?He stripped out sight adjustments. But with Fisher and Cigz, I don’t think that what I heard was “we will simplify” as much as I heard “we’ve been too complicated” (if that makes any sense.) So I didn’t hear that they will step back from the modern age, I heard that they’ve got too much on players’s plates to execute it easily.
