Lynnell and Anthony dive into Jayden Daniels’ knee injury and the question that follows: does he need to adjust his play style? Both agree his legs are what make him dynamic, but Lynnell stresses that Daniels must develop better discernment to avoid unnecessary hits and know when to get down. Anthony argues that Kliff Kingsbury may need to tweak the offense, putting Jayden under center more often to create a versatile rushing attack, open up play-action, and reduce the hits Daniels takes in shotgun-heavy sets.
