Bleeding Green Nation on Jayden Daniels
From the article
Daniels has already spent two seasons getting comfortable in Kingsbury's system, particularly operating from shotgun, using tempo, and using his legs a lot...I would expect the eventual structure to keep some of the shotgun and RPO elements Daniels already excels at while adding more motion, heavier personnel, under-center formations, and a more connected run and play-action game.
STACKED’s take
Daniels faces offensive transition with more under-center play action added to his shotgun-heavy system.
Daniels has spent two seasons operating from shotgun in Kingsbury's system with tempo and RPO elements; new coordinator David Blough is expected to add more under-center formations and play action while maintaining shotgun and RPO elements Daniels excels at. Blough should follow Ben Johnson's approach with Caleb Williams by simplifying early play-action concepts and gradually adding more complexity rather than forcing all elements immediately. Daniels' primary challenge is processing the defense from under center—a different skill than shotgun—requiring him to relocate safeties and underneath defenders after turning his back to the defense on run fakes.
