    JT: “Another interesting thing: Rams plan to simplify offense reduce volume of playbook from Schottenheimer tenure.”

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

    I 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.

    these 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.

    Didn’t Harbaugh simiplify the 49ers Offense
    when he came in? Yes? No?

    There’s pros and cons to it,
    i guess.

    Fisher and Cignetti Press Conference
    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.

    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.
