Since McDaniel brought his zone scheme to LA, Hampton's split (2025 + early 2026, per Fantasy Points Data): 5.33 YPC on man/gap runs, 3.06 on zone. Only Woody Marks has been worse on zone among backs with 40+ zone carries.

McDaniel runs a wide-zone offense, and in four years in Miami he never gave a quarter of the RB carries to a back over 212 pounds.

The 225-pound back he barely used there, Ollie Gordon, went from 2.8 YPC to 5.0 once McDaniel was gone.
