This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans how they feel about Brian Thomas Jr. having 60 yards through the first two games of 2025.
86% of fans are either “very concerned” or “a little concerned.”
“I think [Thomas] had a better week in terms of the way we were trying to connect,” coach Liam Coen said Friday. “So, excited about his op this weekend.”
Thomas does not carry an injury designation for the game after being limited in Thursday’s practice with a wrist injury.
As for the confidence survey, 77% of fans are confident in the direction of the team — down from 94% last week.
It’ll be fun (fingers crossed) to watch Coen’s first big test on Sunday in what will be an emotional divisional game against Houston’s fearsome defense.
“We have to be very conscientious with the edge rushers for sure,” he said, “in terms of when we want to end up pushing the ball down the field, how are we helping those guys or whatever it is. It’s just an emphasis for the quarterback, receivers, tight ends, like the timing and rhythm of the pass game needs to be sharp.
“They play a lot of zone, but they’ll also play some man, and when we get those opportunities that we have to be able to say, well, this ball has got to get out on a hitch or a hitch or two here, we don’t have much more than that, just play in and play out.”
“I have a lot of faith. I mean, in watching the tapes from last year and how some the O-line played, the guys that are back this week for us have done some nice things against those guys as well. So, it’s going to be a good battle.”
