LaFleur is expected to run a version of the Kyle Shanahan offense that is used in San Francisco and has become popular around the league.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Mike LaFleur and Sam Darnold\" class=\"wp-image-17074454 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/LaFleur.Darnold.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/LaFleur.Darnold.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/LaFleur.Darnold.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/LaFleur.Darnold.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/LaFleur.Darnold.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Mike LaFleur and Sam Darnold<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP; N.Y. Post: Charles Wenzelberg<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI think where Sam is in his development and to kind of reset and take stock in what he did in the last three years, but grow and move forward, I think it\u2019s the perfect system to do that in,\u201d McCown said Friday. \u201cYou take a little bit of pressure off the quarterback to be a great decision-maker in the dropback game. It\u2019s a heavy run game and play action and play-action football, it\u2019s good and easy football because you fake and then it\u2019s a 1-2-3 type of thing typically. There\u2019s not full-field reads in play-action football necessarily. You can keep the eyes of the quarterback in one place and limit his options and help him play better football.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-megaphone\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADL3580071314&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The Shanahan offense dates back to Kyle\u2019s father, Mike, who popularized it with the Broncos from 1995-2008. It relies heavily on zone runs and play-action passes off the running game. The Shanahan offense also features more rollouts and plays to get the quarterback out of the pocket. The Jets actually ran a version of it in Darnold\u2019s rookie season when Jeremy Bates was their offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Darnold] makes some great plays, but he also makes some poor decisions,\u201d McCown said. \u201cI think when it\u2019s more of a scheduled outside of the pocket, when it\u2019s the movement game, what they do so well, I think that will kind of rein in some of that decision making. It will give him better options. I think that will be better for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCown, who finished the season on the Texans, said he watched a lot of Jets games this year and saw Darnold struggle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he was pressing and trying to win every game with one throw,\u201d McCown said. \u201cYou could just see the frustration. You hate that for him. I think the circumstances with the pressure that was on the coaching situation and everything I think forced him into some bad football. The best thing about Sam is he takes ownership of it and he\u2019ll work to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCown said the Jets should not give up on Darnold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think given his talent level and the type of kid he is,\u201d McCown said, \u201cletting him have a go with a new offense would be wise just from the standpoint of how much you believe in the guys you hired.\u201d\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
