Daniels' new under-center system should reduce scrambling from 16% rate.
Jayden DanielsQB
Daniels is back with the Commanders under a new offensive system under David Lau that will transition from no-huddle, gun-heavy option runs to more under-center, outside-zone looks with multiple tight ends—a dramatic shift that resembles the Lions' approach. This system change should reduce his scrambling and design run workload. Last year Daniels scrambled 16% of the time, the highest rate by a significant margin and higher than his rookie year; while some of that was due to lack of pass catchers, he should scramble less going forward under the new Ben Johnson scheme.

So David Lau, he's been in Washington... it's going to look more like the Lions. More under center. More outside zone... he scrambled 16% of the time, which was the highest rate by a pretty significant margin. And higher than his rookie year.
