Jaguars make surprising decision that reveals how Liam Coen and his players reacted right after frustrating Week 2 loss
Take a look inside the locker room.
The NFL is always evolving. For teams, social media has become a useful tool and a part of the sports world that may cause controversy. For the Jacksonville Jaguars, a recent online decision has sparked some discussion.
Does it truly matter for the success of the team? Maybe not. That being said, breaking norms doesn’t happen often, so this choice by the Jags is worth noting.
Jags release postgame speech following Week 2 loss
Jacksonville released the post-game speech from head coach Liam Coen following their frustrating defeat at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals.
This was an intriguing choice by the Jags. Teams basically never do this. Instead, they only post a speech from the locker room when it is rooted in excitement and glory, following a win. This interaction between Coen and his players made them feel more human, though, in a way. You could tell that Coen cares a lot about his players and wants to see them succeed together.
The reactions from quarterback Trevor Lawrence and offensive playmakers were also notable. They were certainly listening and understood what Coen was trying to get across during the speech. The Jags coach also made it clear that losses will never be on one player. They win and lose as a group, collectively.
People are also pondering that the Jags’ social media got the green light to release this video after a surprising moment between Lawrence and Coen during the game. The broadcast caught an interaction where the coach was frustrated, and the QB seemed to wave him off. It was a bit dismissive from Lawrence, undoubtedly.
“The Jacksonville Jaguars lost their first game in a gut-wrenching way, where field goals instead of red zone turnovers had them winning the game. They had a chance to win it at the end against a team that is talented despite not having Joe Burrow. The Jaguars had a chance; that’s the biggest takeaway from that game, where you couldn’t say that hardly at all last season. Coen is a first-time head coach, and we are already seeing him learn and grow from mistakes in just two games. Now they just have to put it all together, and it seems like they will, because it feels like the players, coaches, and fan base can tell that this time is different with the Jaguars.
“But let’s hope that’s true, because we’ve definitely said that before with Doug Pderson, when they won a playoff game. Coen’s speech kind of shows the type of coach he is, and the reaction shows they believe in him. The team releasing the video after the loss says a lot, too.” — Justin Churchill, A to Z Sports
We will see if this sort of social media activity sparks some improvement going forward for Coen’s Jaguars team. Jacksonville needs to get back on track in Week 3.
