Jacksonville Jaguars fans have reason to be optimistic about the upcoming season, and a large part of that optimism hinges on the performance of quarterback Trevor Lawrence. After a tumultuous start to his NFL career, Lawrence appears poised for a breakout season under the guidance of new Head Coach Liam Coen.
Coen's Impact on Lawrence and Jaguars Culture
According to Lawrence himself, Coen has brought a much-needed energy and level of detail to the team. He emphasized the importance of players taking ownership and pushing each other, which is a significant shift in the Jaguars' culture.
"It's really important... I think the energy that coach Coen's brought in, and the whole staff, the coaching, just the level of detail, all the things that they've done up until this point, has been awesome," Lawrence said. "And they've brought a lot of energy every day, and coached us hard, and expectations have been really high, which has been good for our team. I think we've grown a lot."
The emphasis on a strong running game should also alleviate some of the pressure on Lawrence, preventing him from having to single-handedly carry the team. The Jaguars' front office clearly believes in Lawrence's potential, and with Coen's coaching and an improved supporting cast, this could be the year he finally flourishes.
Early Observations and Roster Composition
The Jaguars' 2025 roster is an intriguing mix of veterans and rookies, suggesting a focus on both immediate competitiveness and long-term development. Fans are eager to see how this blend of talent translates onto the field as the season progresses.
General Manager James Gladstone, Head Coach Liam Coen and Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tony Boselli are confident that Trevor Lawrence hasn't reached his full potential. This belief, coupled with the positive changes in coaching and team culture, provides a solid foundation for optimism in Jacksonville.
