"He's not where you want him to be, obviously, with the terminology of the offense," Pederson said of Green-Beckham on Wednesday. "That's why we're going to keep it very simple and keep it to one position for him, as a receiver. Put a little package together -- two, three, four plays -- and just let him go play. And then as he understands that we can expand the role because he's coming in, basically right here at the end of camp, trying to learn a system. So I've been there, even as a player -- really in 2000 when I left here and went to Cleveland. It was a totally new system that you're trying to learn. So you keep it small, keep it simple, and allow him to use his skill set."
