Tendencies

PaceLeague's fastest offense in 2025 — No. 1 in overall and situation-neutral pace, with philosophical tempo/no-huddle
Early downsSlightly run-leaning (~-2.3% PROE), drifting toward 50-50 with more zone runs as 2025 progressed
Target treeConcentrated top-three: Olave dominated (156 targets), Kamara led RBs in receptions, TE third
SlotFeatures the slot heavily — Olave moved inside on ~42% of snaps and boomed to a 100-catch season
MotionElite motion caller: 3rd in NFL motion usage; 23 of 28 offensive TDs came with motion
Red zoneExtremely run-heavy near the goal line — dead-last PROE inside the 10, funneling scores to the backs
Also2026 reporting: more under-center runs and multi-TE sets; TE usage a stated 'priority' around sophomore QB Tyler Shough
Who benefitsSlot/motion WRs (Olave, rookie Jordyn Tyson), pass-catching RBs (Kamara, Etienne), red-zone TEs
