Press Pass | Coen on Loss to Texans: “I’ve Got a Lot of Confidence in This Team.” · Press Pass

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't good enough for sure. Got to go
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: back and look at it. Thought they made too many
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: plays in the past game and they ran it, you know,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: better than anybody has on us so far. So got
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to evaluate it.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Get it cleaned up, but definitely was disappointing. Yeah.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Felt like it was one of those days, the surface, obviously,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: like they didn't, I didn't feel like we were under
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a ton of duress either. I think that that, you know,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: venue benefits the offense in a lot of ways in
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: terms of the pass rush. You know, so definitely didn't,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: if we weren't feeling them, they probably didn't feel us. Yeah,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it was just, that was part of the plan. You know,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: getting him a little bit more involved early. made some
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: critical plays for us on both sides of the football, obviously.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Had the interception late. That gave us a chance to
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: win the game.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: You know, I was proud of the way he competed,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: made some plays for us on offense, and got to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: keep building off of it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Just that's kind of who he is.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: We got to continue to get him the ball and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: keep building off of it and making sure it fits
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: within the rhythm and flow of the game. But he
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: definitely helped put us in a position to win that
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: game today.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Early struggle, then no snaps in the second half. It's
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: going to be tough for you to have confidence in
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: him moving forward.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just week to week. You know, week
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: to week, guys have to step up and make plays.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: How impressed were you with the run game, particularly with
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Chris in the second quarter?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the guys, you know, I know that defense, that
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: run defense has been pretty good. I don't think we
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: ended up with.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: The yards that we would have liked, but I thought
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: we grinded out some drives. You know, they were doing
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: some things early on to kind of mess with the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: run game and mess with some things that you got
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to give them credit for early. But I thought we
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: adjusted well. And Chris ran, you know, they ran hard.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: They ran really hard and gave us a chance at
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: least to win it. Yeah, I couldn't tell on a few.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Like if it was like, you know, I mean, there was,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you know, the one across the middle.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: You know, Jacoby, I thought it was a low, you know, lower.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: It was wet for sure out there early on.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I felt that the drops and I couldn't really tell
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: if we just didn't connect on that deep corner ball
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to Parker there towards the end. I couldn't tell if
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: we could have made the play or not. I, from
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: where I was standing, I couldn't tell. But yeah, we've,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: we've got to find a way in those moments to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: be able to make some of those plays.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: You cut your penalties in half. You feel like everyone
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: was Yeah.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Again, similar kind of we had the touchdown wiped off
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: for the hold. And then two plays later, we, you know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: throw the interception down in the low red zone. So
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and then the critical, obviously, we had the DPI, I think,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: right before the half that ended up giving them the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: ball inside the three yard line or whatever it was.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And it's going to be hard to stop anybody from there.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: But yeah, the penalties, I did think it was a
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: cleaner game. operationally for sure, right? But some of the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: moments in which they've occurred for sure bit us in
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the butt.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Today.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: We're in pun safe. Nobody's supposed to leave the field.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Wasn't sure and we knew that they would do this,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that they'd.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Run them on late.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And so we weren't sure if they were gonna potentially
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: go for it in that situation. And so we made
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a mistake of subbing off in a fourth and one
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: moment when we were in just punt safe and nobody
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: should leave the field.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Four and two going into five, one and one over here.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: What is your level of confidence that this team is
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: moving in the right direction?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of confidence in this team. We
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: didn't get the result we wanted. We're not going to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: change a thing about our process. Do we have to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: evaluate and clean up areas in which we need to,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: specifically in some areas.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: That we just talked about? Absolutely.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: But I have a lot of confidence in this team.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I'm extremely proud of this team and the way they
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: kept fighting today, going down 10 points, 10 points, 10 points,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and kept fighting, kept fighting, gave ourselves a chance in
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a quasi two-minute drill to go win the game.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: We ended up kicking it, settling.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Cam makes a huge kick to put us in a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: position to tie that football game and I'm extremely proud
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of this team and confident in this group moving forward.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: A couple more.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, quarter four showed exactly what the Japanese are capable of,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: how confident and how.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Strong you are offensively and defensively.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Like you said, Bill Gold right at the end, you
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: put that out.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: However, it is two games in a row now with.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: A very last-minute close tie, essentially.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: How will your experience here in the U.K. inform your
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: strategy as you move forward for the rest of the season?
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, won the one last week, right, and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: then didn't come out on top in this week. So,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you know, it's good for us to be in these games,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: especially early on in the season.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: You know, we're six weeks in, a little bit more.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Tested at times than maybe at times last year at
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: this time. And so it helps us continue to know
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: what we have out of this group in some of
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: those moments for sure.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Obviously with the new stadium on the horizon for the Jaguars,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Jaguars being such a prominent force in London NFL games,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: this might be potentially the last time Jaguars are playing
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: in London for a while. What do you take as
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: a coach from your experiences bringing the Jaguars over to London?
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Players that have probably never been playing international games, how
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: does that inform you going forward and just the experience
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: going forward?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: First class experience all the way.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: From our stay, our experience with the group, our professionalism
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and the professionalism in which we were treated with from
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: everybody top down. And so I know that we have
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of confidence being over here. We enjoy it.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And our guys didn't flinch, didn't blink throughout the entire experience.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: And so bummer to come out and not be able
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to get the fans that we've had here from Jacksonville
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: fans out. Across the pond, a win. That's what we're
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: bummed out about, about the result. But, you know, we
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: had a great experience, and it's first class.
