Mike LaFleur joins the “Coach and Coordinator” podcast and discusses how Rams stay ahead of the curve on offense
Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur joined the “Coach and Coordinator” podcast recently to discuss innovation surrounding offensive scheme and how LA’s coaching staff stays ahead of the curve.
LaFleur reflects on his time with the San Francisco 49ers and how he helped the Rams adopt the duo run concept, which has become a mainstay of the offense. He also talks quarterback progressions and how to build scheme and game plans based on personnel and opposing defenses.
This is an interesting listen and a deeper dive than we usually get from coaches on Sean McVay’s staff and from the NFL at large. It’s worth your time this offseason and may provide a peak as to what is coming for Los Angeles in 2025.
The conversation explores how keepers can strategically give quarterbacks an edge, and why varying play designs keeps opposing defenses off balance. LaFleur underscores that while scheme and design matter, consistent player execution remains the foundation of a successful offense. From adapting to defensive fronts in the run game to blending time-tested concepts with fresh innovations, this episode offers a comprehensive look at what it takes to build and lead an NFL-caliber offense.
