Justin Herbert Gains Momentum with Mike McDaniel's Offensive Change

Justin Herbert is set to benefit from a massive change made by Los Angeles Chargers OC Mike McDaniel.

The change involves Herbert's footwork in the shotgun formation, with McDaniel switching his setup to align with his left foot slightly forward.

This adjustment is designed to get the ball out more quickly, according to Herbert.

Herbert already has an impressive NFL resume, including being the AP offensive rookie of the year in 2020 and two Pro Bowl appearances.

McDaniel made it clear that he isn't trying to fix Herbert, but rather take him to the next level.

The 2026 season will be crucial in determining the success of the Herbert-McDaniel duo.

Herbert threw for 3,727 yards with 26 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in the previous season.

McDaniel's change could lead to a more efficient offense and potentially an MVP season for Herbert.

The Chargers' offense will rely on Herbert's ability to get the ball to his teammates quickly.

Herbert has been working with McDaniel to get used to the new setup.

The team's website reported that Herbert said it's been good to practice and get used to the new timing within the routes.

McDaniel's approach is focused on finding the margins and getting the most out of Herbert's talent.

The Athletic reported that Herbert's new setup in the shotgun formation is a significant change.

Herbert's footwork has been a focus for McDaniel, who wants to get the ball out quickly.

The Chargers' offense will look to capitalize on Herbert's strengths and get the ball to their talented players.

The 2026 season will be an exciting one for Herbert and the Chargers.
