Kelly urges Michigan to tailor offense around Bryce Underwood's mobility

Brian Kelly says Michigan should retool its offense to fit Bryce Underwood’s strengths as a mobile, run-savvy quarterback, arguing he isn’t a traditional drop-back passer. Kelly favors more designed runs and a system that keeps Underwood moving, a view echoed by Michigan OC Jason Beck, who intends to build the offense around him. Michigan faces Oklahoma in Week 2 as a test of this approach, and Underwood’s 9 rushes for 47 yards and a TD against Western Michigan hint at a potential shift toward a more run-oriented attack. If the offense doesn’t adapt, Kelly warns the quarterback role could be reevaluated.

Reich Impressed by Geno Smith as Jets Install Fresh Offense

Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich said he’s been 'so impressed' with Geno Smith’s play as he installs new wrinkles to the Jets’ offense. Smith has looked sharp in training camp and limited preseason snaps as he aims to rebound from a rough 2025 season, with teammates like Garrett Wilson praising the player-empowering, improvisational approach Reich is bringing to the offense. The Jets’ success will depend on Smith staying healthy and the unit meshing under the new scheme.

Eagles Preseason Opener Tests Depth, QB Battles, and a New Offense

Philadelphia kicks off its three-game preseason against the Ravens, a proving ground for a newly installed offense under Sean Mannion and for ongoing roster battles. The game should illuminate the No. 2 quarterback situation between Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee, while also exposing depth concerns along the offensive line and secondary. Watch list includes undrafted WR Darius Cooper, interior OL Willie Lampkin, and tackles like Myles Hinton, plus rookies Uar Bernard and Joshua Weru and other depth players as the Eagles sort to the 53-man roster. Vic Fangio has praised Jalen Hurts’ progress in the new scheme, and coach Nick Sirianni plans to keep starters limited, using practice time and joint sessions to prep rather than risk injuries in August.

Bengals chart a new course with under-center wrinkles

Six days into Bengals training camp, Cincinnati is deliberately shifting away from its static shotgun, 11-personnel identity toward under-center looks, more motion, irregular formations and play-action to create a more versatile offense around Joe Burrow; with last year’s starters back, the team is testing wrinkles—using Chase Brown in multiple alignments—while the defense has mostly won the days, a sign that the changes aim to build an attack that can win in multiple ways as the season approaches.

Lamar Jackson Adapts to a New, Demanding Offense Under Declan Doyle

Lamar Jackson is adjusting to a new offense installed by Declan Doyle, with the quarterback saying he’s being challenged by unfamiliar terminology and a tougher, more intense coaching approach; Doyle is pushing him hard, sometimes with expletives, and Jackson says they push each other and learn from one another; Jackson’s 6-7 record last year came with 21 TDs, 7 INT, and a career-low 349 rushing yards (two rushing TDs).

Washington’s 2026 Free-Agent Blueprint: Weapons for Daniels

"NFL Executive Provides Insightful Explanation for Mac Jones' Struggles"

A top NFL executive from a team that faced the New England Patriots provided insight into Mac Jones' struggles, attributing them to the lack of personnel and offensive scheme that plays to his strengths. The executive highlighted Jones' success at Alabama with a talented supporting cast and emphasized the importance of having good weapons and an effective offensive line. Jones' performance is heavily reliant on scheme and personnel, and the Patriots currently lack the necessary pieces for him to succeed. As a result, Jones' passer rating ranks 25th in the NFL, and the team sits at 1-3.
