Mike LaFleur expected to enhance Cardinals' offensive strategy for 2026
Summary

The Arizona Cardinals are set to implement an offensive scheme under new play-caller Mike LaFleur, who previously worked with the Rams and Jets. LaFleur's approach focuses on West Coast offense principles, including pre-snap motions and outside zone runs. First-round pick Jeremiyah Love is anticipated to be a key contributor, having averaged 8.4 yards per rush in college. LaFleur's strategy is expected to involve tight end Trey McBride prominently, while receivers Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr. may benefit from enhanced play designs. The Cardinals aim to establish a diverse offensive identity in 2026.
