Rams granted permission to speak with Greg Roman and Kyle Shanahan

i’m still on the boras bandwagon. keep continuity. and if it’s really true. that he’s regarded as a bright offensive mind. then go for it. instead of playing the oc musical chairs game.

Shotty had one top ten offense in 9 years.

All just bad luck? Maybe.

Certainly the Jets nose dived after he left.

But I don’t see what made him “special” in any way and while I hate the system change, he doesn’t stand out as someone who is an elite OC in any way.

The biggest issue I have and had with losing him was changing the system.

I think maybe BS’s Jets may have been no.1 in Rushing?

Those were overall offense numbers.

Rushing:

Jets(2006) 20th (Passing–17th)

Jets(2007) 19th (Passing–25th)

Jets(2008) 9th (Passing–16th)

Jets(2009)1st (Passing–31st)

Jets: (2010) 4th (Passing-22nd)

Jets: (2011) 22nd (Passing-21st)

You know I have been thinking about this KS angle.

He WILL bring that stretch/zone-blocking offense with him, and it does gain yards. Denver with Shanahan sr., Houston with Kubiak, now Baltimore with Kubiak. Even a couple of years in Washington (1st in rushing in 2012, 5th in 2013).

Now some minutia stuff.

I don’t know about Boudreau coaching it. I think I remember that he doesn’t lean toward it. But then who knows.

Also…interesting thing. This kind of running game favors smaller, more athletic O-linemen. Well, what about doing it with BIGGER more athletic linemen? LIke Robinson and Saffold. Saffold is prized for his pulling as a guard…how far is that from playing in this kind of offense?

Here’s something on it with a lot of pics. I don’t post it just link it cause pics pics pics.

An introduction to the Gary Kubiak offense

http://baltimoresportsandlife.com/baltimore-ravens/introduction-gary-kubiak-offense/

Football is back and the Baltimore Ravens have a new offense to acclimatize to. New offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak has installed his version of the west coast offense passing game combined with the zone-blocking scheme. While we only saw the Ravens starters for one series in their opening preseason game last week, we did get a glimpse of what is to come from the new system.

The foundation of Kubiak’s offense is the zone running game. Every team in the NFL will mix between power and zone running schemes, but Kubiak comes from the Mike Shanahan coaching tree that uses almost exclusively zone blocking.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter

The offensive coordinator Rex Ryan is most likely to bring with him to Buffalo is 49ers OC Greg Roman, per source.

Filed to ESPN: Bills putting finishing touches on deal that will make Rex Ryan their next HC, per sources. More on Sunday NFL Countdown.
Just a couple more I’s to dot and T’s to cross, but Rex Ryan now expected to be the next Buffalo Bills HC. First domino falls!

i wish they’d make a decision already. all this uncertainty is getting to me.

from reading some pre-draft articles people seem to think mason would be a great fit in a zone blocking scheme.

but i’m not sure fisher used a zone blocking scheme at tennessee. i read that chris johnson ran in a power blocking scheme at tennessee.

I’d rather have Shanahan than Roman so I hope that’s true.

Of course, there’s no guaranty that the Rams will get Shanahan.

There’s uncertainty at QB and a woeful offensive line.

Injured.

It’s different.

Replacing 2 interior linemen is not this huge challenge.

In fact, as a study I posted once shows, since 93 and the era of the cap and free agency, every NFL team changes OL starters at the rate of 3.5 every 2 years.

In that environment replacing 2 is nothing.

I just read Kyle Shanahan turned down SF

And with Kubiak possibly going to Denver, Shanahan would go to Baltimore.

I don’t think Shanahan will interview for the Rams job.

Kyle Shanahan turns down offer to interview in San Fran

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/01/16/kyle-shanahan-turns-down-offer-to-interview-in-san-fran/

Kyle Shanahan wanted out of Cleveland, but there are apparently other places he doesn’t want to be.

According to Dianna Mari Russini of NBC4 in Washington, Shanahan turned down an offer to interview for the vacant offensive coordinator job in San Francisco.

He’s in play for some other coordinator job, and would likely be a candidate in Chicago or Atlanta, once the dust settles with those head coaching hires.

He’s also interviewed with the Rams, but the idea that he might not want to work with Colin Kaepernick (or under Jim Tomsula) still seems a bit odd, given the early success he had with a run-pass quarterback in Washington.

Remember, the pool of potential OCs is huge.

All people are talking about right now are the recently fired experienced OCs (though KS quit, he wasn’t fired). That’s a small group.

But traditionally you also get OCs by promoting position coaches. Mostly qb coaches, but also WR and TE coaches, and sometimes OL coaches.

There’s up to 128 of those, potentially.

The thing is, we as fans just know less about that type.
