After being hired as the Los Angeles Chargers’ offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniel studied all 3,438 of Justin Herbert’s pass attempts, identifying how his quick-passing system could benefit the quarterback. McDaniel aims to reduce Herbert’s hits by implementing a faster-paced offense and a balanced run-pass strategy, addressing the heavy pressure Herbert has faced throughout his career. With a focus on rhythm and timing, McDaniel believes this approach will enhance Herbert’s performance and protect him from frequent sacks. The Chargers’ new offensive style will be tested in the upcoming season, beginning with a matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
