How does Coach Coen plan to shake off last week’s loss and prepare for a tough Patriots matchup?

Unknown 0:00

Yeah sure. Uh Patriots this week, how do you kind of put the last week behind you and uh turn the page and get ready for what's a pretty tough phone?

Liam Coen 0:07

Yeah, we just don't have enough time to to to waste looking back. Um we have darn good opponent that played in the Super Bowl last year, um, coming into town that we know they're gonna be very well coached, disciplined, uh darn good football team with a good quarterback. And um, you know, you I think our guys they they talking to them, you know, they're after the game on the plane when we got back, uh a lot of the things that we're gonna And it's all of us in it together and that's the best part of it is we have the opportunity now to respond.

Unknown 0:47

Yeah,

Liam Coen 0:47

we need it, you know, we we need a true home field advantage this week, obviously. Um, you know, not gonna be here for a while and and definitely need the community and fan base to come out and support as much as possible.

Unknown 0:58

New England's defense has been really phenomenal on third down. Yeah. What what are you seeing when you watch them?

Liam Coen 1:04

They they do a really nice job in man cover. I mean they have obviously some some good cover guys. They're they're they're secondary can all play uh different positions in their structure. Um, you know, they're all kind of on a string. Their safeties, nickels, corners all can kind of do similar jobs and responsibilities, which can make it sometimes difficult to undress what covers that are in. Um and And they have a really good, you know, interior pass rush specifically, you know, and then uh they they mix it up like three man rush, four man, five man, heat you up, playman coverage, play fire zone. So um, you know, y you look at really the history of of of you know Coach Vrabel and the defenses and how they've played.

Liam Coen 1:48

I mean, it's very similar in a lot of ways to to their style of play and and they're usually a

What defensive traits of New England’s secondary and pass rush does Coen say the Jaguars need to respect?

Liam Coen 1:54

game plan there's gonna be a a big game plan element. They double guys if they feel like they need to and uh take advantage of matchups.

Unknown 2:02

What kind of signs have you seen from Travis Hunter in practice that he can maybe handle uh an expanded role on offense and make impact on the

Liam Coen 2:09

Yeah. Um, you know, you you're continuing any time you struggle uh offensively specifically right, you look for uh you look at the totality of it all and and Travis is a big part of that obviously that we're looking at, continuing to find different ways to get him involved and you know, you're you're also looking at the other side of the ball and looking at hey are we bat where are we batting here on on on defense? in terms of uh you know, m all that stuff. The Miss Time is communication and I thought he did a nice job uh throughout the course of the week and we're gonna look at giving him some more this week.

Unknown 2:45

with Travis just n wanting to get him more reps because of how much uh how much time he missed last year, also coming back from the injury and then wanting to play your four corners. Yeah it's just uh Yeah, it's just

Liam Coen 2:56

uh it's a balance, as you said. Like it's just a a balancing act that you're continuously working through. I thought you know, he made it almost made the interception on the early on in the first drive of the game, had a couple things throughout that I think you know he we can play better and and uh it is a balancing act though, right? You're trying to get into a flow whether it's on offense or defense. But we have, you know, corners that we have a lot of confidence in. We didn't play our best this past week. Um, you know, but I think a lot goes into that, not just those guys specifically. It's on coaching, it's on the rush, it's on those guys in the back end. Um, but they're they're confident to respond this way, and um he's a big part of it.

Unknown 3:36

How much did him missing all that time last year impact him and just feel of the comfort and knowledge and understanding complete of the offense?

How is Travis Hunter being evaluated for a larger offensive role and what signs has he shown in practice?

Unknown 3:44

Yeah, I

Liam Coen 3:45

think it definitely has some form of an effect, right? You can walk through, you can do a million things in the in the walkthrough room in the in the meeting room settings, but you know, you just missed a lot of pitching and catching, right?
