Jaguars HC Liam Coen and QB Trevor Lawrence went viral after Coen told his quarterback to hit a receiver in the chest following a high throw, and Lawrence waved him off. Coen said it was just an outcome of competitive guys and downplayed the interaction.
“It gets made into a thing, obviously, in this rat poison world we live in,” Coen said, via Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. “It’s an emotional game, it’s a competitive game. We’re all competitive, we’re all emotional. I can control mine better. He was just telling me to move on; he wasn’t telling me to go screw. He was just saying, ‘Dude, move on.'”
Jaguars HC Liam Coen insinuated that WR Brian Thomas Jr. may have been dealing with a hand/wrist injury entering Sunday’s game against the Bengals.
“Yeah, we’re gonna have a conversation here shortly. You know, I think ultimately, I know he’s kind of got a, you know, he’s got a couple things going on. Had a wrist injury going into the game and, you know, did that have a play a part in some of this stuff?” Coen said, via SI. “I’ve got to go, you know, go talk to him. But, you know, I think he’s aware of it, and needs to have a better week this week. I think he understands what’s at stake. He understands what’s going on and we got to go get to the root of it.”
Titans rookie WR Elic Ayomanor is beginning to get on the same page as fellow rookie QB Cam Ward, as he was right where Ward needed him to be during a scramble drill.
