That's kind of his big emphasis in getting the ball out and getting the ball in the receivers' hands at a time where they can go up field and make something happen...

McDaniel's scheme finally unleashes Herbert's elite tools with quick-release, YAC-heavy passing game.

Mike McDaniel's offensive scheme prioritizes quick ball release and receiver playmaking; Herbert emphasized McDaniel's emphasis on 'getting the ball out and getting the ball in the receivers' hands at a time where they can go up field and make something happen,' noting Miami's success with YAC-heavy plays. McDaniel is described as 'miles ahead' of Herbert's previous offensive coordinators (Lombardi and Roman) who 'treated Herbert like the Lamborghini you never took out of the garage.' From a pure tools perspective, there are not five other NFL quarterbacks to match Herbert.
