Mike McDaniel’s new Chargers role comes with a familiar sideline staple: the sweatshirt
McDaniel is installing a speed-based offense and urging quicker throws to help protect Justin Herbert, who took the most hits and sacks last season.
- Mike McDaniel began his tenure as offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers this summer, implementing speed-based schemes to improve an offense that ranked 12th in the NFL last season.
- McDaniel, fired after four seasons with the Dolphins, wears a sweatshirt to endure the muggy Los Angeles heat. "I can put a sweatshirt on and feel good about calling them out on being soft," he said.
- Focused on quarterback Justin Herbert, McDaniel is emphasizing quick throws to minimize hits on the 28-year-old. "I'm challenging him to expedite that process and not confirm and let his feet talk to him," McDaniel said.
- Wide receiver Quentin Johnston observed that McDaniel "just thinks different," while Ladd McConkey praised the coordinator's confidence helping players improve this year.
- Through three days of training camp, rookie Brenen Thompson impressed McConkey with a 4.26-second time in the 40-yard dash, signaling the potential impact of McDaniel's new offensive approach.
