Goff Learning New Offense Quickly, Exhibiting Quality LeadershipBy Myles Simmons
There’s a clear learning curve for any player learning his second offensive system in just two years in the NFL. That curve might be even steeper for a quarterback.
But by all accounts, Jared Goff has done quite well in picking up head coach Sean McVay’s offensive scheme during the Rams’ 2017 offseason program.
“It’s a way different offense. Personally, from my brief experience with it, I’ve had a quicker time learning it — easier time learning it,” Goff said on Monday. “I don’t know whether that’s scheme or the way it’s taught or what not, but I’ve enjoyed spending time with the coaches and picking it up pretty quickly.”
“He’s really grasped the offense surprisingly fast, especially for a new guy,” offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur said of Goff at rookie minicamp earlier this month. “When you get a new guy in an offense, there is a transition period with that, but he’s done a nice job at picking it up at a surprisingly quick pace.”
Though the Rams have just begun Phase III of the offseason program with OTAs, Goff’s progress has been encouraging for the coaching staff.
“I think he’s done a nice job just getting better every single day,” McVay said on Monday. “We know that anytime you’re not truly live in some of these periods, it’s always a little bit more difficult. I thought he’s done a nice job managing the huddle, got in and out today. He’s seeing some things, progressing through based on what coverages we’re seeing.”
