Press Pass | Liam Coen on Passing Attack Ahead of 49ers Matchup · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: But if you have an updated or his.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Injury nothing yet, we'll kind of get that stuff out
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: to the in the injury report today.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Do you expect it to be a long term money or.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you right now. Yeah.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: What sort of a challenge, that unique challenge that his
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: clubs will present. Yeah, very well coached in all three phases. Offensively,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: very detailed. The wide zone, mix it with some gap
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: and perimeter, and then you know the uh, just the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: illusion of the run with the formations and the keepers.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: You know, the boots and the play pass is all
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: pretty clean. You know, they've done a nice job. I
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: have a ton of respect for Kyle obviously offensively, but
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: also as a coach and what he's been able to
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: do there in San Franz, playing against those guys for
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: so long, you know, being.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: In l A.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: So defensively, they fly around. There's a huge, huge, clear
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: distinction in terms of the way that they play, very
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: similar to the defense we just played, in the way
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: that they attack, the way that they run to the football,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the way that Fred tries to take the ball away right,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: and then on special teams.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Very well coached.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Brent Boyer has been in an NFL special teams coach
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: for a long time, and you can see that the
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: way that they play on teams very similar to the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: way that they play on defense, and very similar to
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the way that they try to run the ball and
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: impose their will physically on offense.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: So a lot of respect. What makes sense.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: The athletic ability, obviously, the length, his ability to dissect
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: all the different schemes he plays with a ton of
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: patients knowing that he does have the ability to go, run,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: change direction, redirect, dissecting the pass game, and making plays
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: in zone coverage. So you have competed against Fred for
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: a long time, and you know, a ton of respect
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: obviously for the way that he plays. We've got to
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: make sure we get a hat on him in every
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: possible scenario.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: But I didn't know you guys did play them with
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: the Bucks when you were there last year. What's the
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: biggest takeaway from.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: That match up? You know, I don't think we ran
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: it great in that game. I know we didn't have
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Mike CG J.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Mack or.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: You know, I think we were really down. So I
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: don't Baker gave us a chance at the end of
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the game. We went down, had a chance in the
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: red zone to go win the game, ended up settling
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: for a field goal and then they had a two
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: minute drive to go win it. So it's the physicality.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a very violent game, I can
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: imagine again. And they they don't really panic, right like
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: they've been to Super Bowl right over the last few years,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: been in division championship games, so they do know how
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: to win. Obviously, they're three and oh with the injuries
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: that they they've had speak so much to probably the culture,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the way that they operate, the way.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: That they practice. You know.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: So last year was just we were down a little bit,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: no excuse because they've been down guys too and found
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: ways to win games. And you know, we just didn't
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: end up pulling that one out. I thought we played hard,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: thought we played tough, played physical. We just didn't make
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: enough plays in the past game, you know, really to
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: go and stretch them at all to make them respect us.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: They've they rushed five a couple of times, so I
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: guess there was But the format, how much discipline requires
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: by Trevor the search is huge because that's basically what
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the scheme is saying out loud, is we are going
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to play this defense obviously try to get after you
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: with four, which they've been able to do, and say,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you're going to get greedy at some point, you're going
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: to get bored at some point of kind of playing
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the twelve to you know, fifteen an in game, right,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: because they do play a ton of quarters lead the NFL,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I believe in shell coverage and quarters and cover six
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: quarter quarter a half variations. We'll see if that holds
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: true this week for sure, but that's definitely what they've
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: wanted to do through three games. And it just makes you,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: as a.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Play caller and as a quarterback.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Have to be patient and meticulous and just keep taking
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: what they end up giving you. And then yeah, we
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: have to take advantage of the ops that we do
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: get down the field that we didn't take advantage of
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: this past week, and to get them to initially maybe
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: get into some single high to be able to go
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: throw it a little bit more whatever it is. But
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: they definitely it's a patient defense because they're saying, you're
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: just gonna it's really hard to say, we got to
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: go operate for ten eleven plays and go execute all
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: those ten plays up and down the field. They're counting
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: on not giving up the explosives so that they can
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: say you're gonna you're gonna punt to us more than
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you're gonna score if you have to go on these
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: long extended drives. Travis are fully where he needs scheme
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: in terms of knowing where to line up motion, all
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: that other stuff, or a little behind there.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I would say he's behind.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I think we can probably do a better job of
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: helping him in some ways. We had a great talk
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: with Trev after this this past game in terms of
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: just man like, all right, how can we help you
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and put you because he's guys, right, what is he learning?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: It's a lot.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: So we've got to, I think, be a little bit
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: more diligent in terms of putting him in positions to
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: maybe not have to do as many moving parts so
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: that we can just let him go play. He saw,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: you know, he catches the the outcut the other day
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and makes multiple people miss And so that's what we're
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: trying to continue to push. And that's got to be
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: on us as well. Uh yeah, he has a hand
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: in it, for sure, absolutely, but I do think we
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: can help them more.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Monday. I'm sorry on Monday about being some time to
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: find out what your teams do that offensively. How close
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: are you do that at this point?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're getting there. You saw glimpses within
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the first two weeks. You saw glimpses of it. On Saturday,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the touchdown drive early in the game. Was operating at
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: the level in which you want to be able to
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: go operate at. And you know, throwing and catching and
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: just doing those little things can probably lead to having
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: a little bit more balanced execution, you know, in a
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: game like that this past week where they did some
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: things to take away what we've done best thus far,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: which was run the football, and you know, we didn't
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: make them pay in the past game. So we are
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: still trying to figure out what it is truly we
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: are best at in the past game and what that
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: looks like. And also from a run scheme standpoint, Hey,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: we've got to be able to do what we do
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: best and people have to stop that as well. Instead
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: of man, they do this, so we have to do that.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: It's like, man, we got to go do what we
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: do best.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: So I mean, not.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Personally, but you know, I think it's just about okay,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: We're We're obviously got a five hour flight. We're trying
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: to keep these guys in there East Coast rhythm and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: routine as much as possible, so we are kind of
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: tailoring the schedule to that so that we won't you know,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: maybe feel those effects as much. You know, I think
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: if you're going out to play obviously an organization and
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: a team as as competitive as San fran Is, I
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: think I'm.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Very hopeful that these guys will be up for this.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: It's more just about managing the five hour flight, the hydration,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the sleep, and making sure that these guys are getting
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: into the mindset for a business trip that it is
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: so not concerned but just something we've had to be
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: a little bit aware of with our scheduling and our planning.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: We're just starting a little earlier Saturday. Yeah, so we're
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: just starting Saturday. Yes, we're starting Saturday morning earlier. Get out,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: get on the flight, get our meetings done when we
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: get there, and then obviously you know, curfew or you know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: bedcheck will be just earlier because it'll basically be uh,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: you know, midnight or one, you know, one am on
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: our time, So trying to just go as late as
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: as we can to not get out of our rhythm
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and routine as much as possible.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Hunters usage independently from other position.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Groups, meaning just if there's an injury at wide saber,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: an injury at corner, does his usage is a fluid Yeah,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: he's one right now, one position on offense and one
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: position on defense.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: So.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: That that doesn't really fully change. It's just more the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: next guy having to go and adjust to go play
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: some Z which what which is what happened in the game.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: So no, I don't think it changes much. So after
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Where he'll be he'll spread his wins a little bit
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: on offensive offense.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it's fair right now to say, hey, dude,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: go learn Z and X and twelve and this and that.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: It's like, man, we got to make sure he can
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: really go and execute it. We're asking him to do
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: first and foremost, which is play f and and play corner.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: So I think as we go and as he goes,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I gotta believe that it'll continue to do this.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: So that's why we see more Parker Quiniani goes down,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: so more opportunities for Parker. I know he was very
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: transparent with us about the two drops. You said he
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: had great practice last week for his usage.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, I have not lost any
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: confidence in Parker by any means. You know, stuff happens.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: It's not obviously something that we were excited about in
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: the moment, but you know, he took it. Takes a
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: lot of responsibility and accountability. He works his tail off
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: every single day practice. Like like I said, he literally
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: had his best week of practice last week as a
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: jag since we've been here. So you know, there's a
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: lot of confidence. I really the message to him is, dude, like,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: we got to move forward.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Man. You know, you're putting some really.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Good stuff on tape, you're practicing, you're doing all the
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: right things. Man, those things will come and hopefully that
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: was just a one off the tape. Have you been
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: able to put a finger.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: On the drops? No, No, not quite. I think one
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: thing you know I mentioned the other.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Day was just we've got to attack the ball more,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I think with our hands instead of letting them maybe
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: get into the body at times. We always talk about
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: not trying to let the ball cross our eyes. So
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: if it's an inbreaker or even an outbreaker, trying not
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: to let.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: It cross you this way at all.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: There's a difference between the ball being you know, here
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: and going and getting it there. You know, that's just
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: kind of the way it's you know, that's how we're
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: trying to coach it, and every rep and walk through
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: that we have when we're not throwing the football, those
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: guys have been getting all last week a catch like
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: so they're jogging back from a run play and they're
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: getting a ball. So we're trying to do as much
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: as we can in order to uh just confidence, you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: just continuing to build confidence that we can go out
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: and make those plays.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: We need to go out and make those plays for.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Our offense to be able to go and and go
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: where it needs to go. This use chick can sort
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: of change that equation with how very arsenal man I
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: coached against him when he was at Harvard, I was
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: at Brown and he was a tight end.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Slot receiver, wildcat quarterback.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Uh he was dynamic then, and uh the amount of
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: years he's played in this league at that position is
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: pretty darn impressive. And his ability to uh, you know,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: block at the point of attack, lead up on linebackers,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: come across and bluff and go block a safety or
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: a corner because of his athletic ability, and then you
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: know it is sneaky getting him out in the past
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: game because you're saying, well, a lot of times where
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: is he in the formation for run?
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Game tells.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: But then they do a nice job of marrying some
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: of that stuff up to sneak them out in the
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: past game.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: In the past, they've used them.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: As their past protector on third downs as the running back.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: So a ton of you know, things that they've done
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: with them and have a lot of respect for him
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: as a player.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: What's it offensive to do that kind of start clicking.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: It's got to happen out here. We got we got
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: to be able to do it in practice, and then
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: it'll probably happen in the games.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Bron to play this, Yeah, you know, I don't know.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I think we know.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: We're preparing for both scenarios. Obviously, two different style quarterbacks.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Brock has been able to operate that offense at a
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: high level. Obviously he's off schedule, he can make plays,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: he can escape and use, he keeps his eyes down
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the field really well, and then if it's nothing there
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: he'll take he can take off and go a little bit.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: So you know, we're preparing for both scenarios as best
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: as we can and whichever way it kind of plays out.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I think our guys will we were ready niners injuries.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: You know, Nick Bosa, What are your expectations? What have
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: you seen from those young defensive linemen that.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: They brought in Man Huff Huff and Mike hil Williams. Correct,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: he's man, he's those two guys specifically on the edge
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: that obviously Joey that's where he played. I mean, they're
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: good players, these guys have. Huff has affected the game
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: in multiple different ways with his speed rush, being able
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: to go on the edge in those known passing situations.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And then Williams is an every down player right now
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: for them in terms of you know.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: His big dude.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: The way that they coach them up front is to
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: roll off the ball and they're kind of stopping the
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: run on their way to the quarterback. He fits that model,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: does a nice job playing violent against tight ends. So yeah,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: this is it's still a challenge. I mean it's for
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: us obviously with most you never want to see that happen.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: For any player, especially somebody that is so dynamic for them,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: you don't want to see that happen.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: But it's not those other two guys are going to
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: be able to go to.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Guard.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Head got a lot of run into base defensive.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: What makes him a good fit for what Camp wants
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: to run.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: The play style, I think first and foremost you'd say
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: just the ability for him. It's it's kind of relentless
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: for him in pursuit. I think you've seen throughout the
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: last three weeks and just kind of getting a little
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: bit better and better and more comfortable coming off the injury.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: You know, he he can rush obviously a little bit
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: in the but he'll blow up tight ends. He throws
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: his body in there and then he can go play
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: in space.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Right. He's been a.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Career special teams guy that people have used them Arizona
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: used them in the rush, but also dropping out catching
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: interceptions tips. He just the way that Dennis plays is
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: something I've always really respected.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I've kind of said.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: That a few times, and you know, he's he's the
