The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Bradford is learning his third offense in three NFL seasons -- from his third OC, no less. But at first blush, the transition may be easier than expected. "I like the offense that we're running this year," Bradford said Tuesday. "It's more similar to two years ago than to last year. There is some carryover, so I am somewhat familiar with it, which makes it nice trying to learn it again."

Bradford said there are even some similarities in the language and play-calling from his rookie season of 2010, when Pat Shurmur was OC. There is another similarity to 2010, when Bradford was NFL offensive rookie of the year: a position coach. "I'm glad that we have a QB coach now," Bradford said, referring to Frank Cignetti. Even though some of the language of the new offense is similar to the Shurmur system, one of Bradford's main goals this spring is getting fluent in that language with new OC Brian Schottenheimer. And with the help of Cignetti, Bradford wants to polish up his mechanics and fundamentals. ... Meanwhile, after a long period of rest and rehab in the offseason, Bradford has gotten past the high-ankle sprain that sabotaged much of his 2011 season. "I went to a doctor literally two days after the season ended and he told me not to do anything, really, until March 1," Bradford said. Once that 'shut-down" period was over, he returned to St. Louis at the end of February and got back in the training room for rehab work with head athletic trainer Reggie Scott. "I would say it felt 10 times better then, and it's only gotten stronger since I've been here working with Reg," Bradford said.
