During a recent episode of the 'Check the Mic' podcast, Nate Tice spoke with Steve Palazzolo about the trends shaping the 2026 NFL season, highlighting Sean McVay's influence on offensive strategies. Since his early years with the Los Angeles Rams, McVay has adapted his scheme, particularly following a Super Bowl loss in 2018. Teams are now emulating his use of heavier personnel packages, including run-blocking tight ends. The discussion also touches on the potential for an up-tempo approach in the coming season. The Rams are expected to continue leading in offensive innovation as they approach training camp.
