Pederson said at the scouting combine that he couldn't have gone wrong with Mike Groh or Staley at offensive coordinator, but Pederson went with Groh, in part, because Groh was more involved in the passing game last season and is a former quarterback. When Staley was asked what he could do to become more involved in the passing game, he said he will keep working on it by being involved in the game-planning meetings each week. Staley worked with offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland on the running game last season. He reiterated that it's important to him to be involved in the passing game and the running game.
