NFL Trade Rumors
Jaguars running game coordinator Brian Picucci said he knew HC Liam Coen would eventually become a head coach.
“It’s awesome. I am proud,” Picucci said, via Sports Illustrated. “But I also saw the evolution of when you’re trying to find your voice earlier in your career, and you know as well as I do, the older you get, the more comfortable in your skin you get, and the more you know what you want out of a team.”
Texans OT Aireontae Ersery has been referred to as the team’s most improved offensive player, continuing to learn and improve after a poor performance in his first game.
“First game, I didn’t play my best I took that on the chin,” Ersery told KPRC 2. “I knew I had to be a man and go out there and perform well. I feel like that came from the encouragement from our coaches, really studying and understanding why the way they rush and just all of us playing together, definitely was a fun game.”
“Definitely a lot of improvement,” DE Danielle Hunter said of Ersery. “He’s able to get to his spot quicker, shoot his hands, have better positioning with his hands and his eyes. He goes out there and he tries to execute. it’s really important to him. He likes feedback. He’s definitely improved from last year.”
“Every day, I just want to strive to be the best,” Ersery said. “If you’re not doing that, then I don’t know why you’re in this profession. Every day, I try to be a leader, try to do everything the right way. Am I perfect? No, nobody’s perfect. If I do that, I feel like I’m taking the right steps in the right direction. I think the sky’s the limit. Last year was last year. We put that to bed already. We are more focused on what this unit can do and what this unit can be. I think our unit can be very, very special, We have young guys flying around, making plays, wanting to hit people in the mouth. It’s been refreshing.”
