Coen evaluates play of Jaguars OL after loss to Broncos

The Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive line showed inconsistency in their Week 2 game against the Denver Broncos. Despite some positive aspects, the unit struggled with both run and pass protection. Liam Coen, the team's offensive line coach, expressed optimism about the unit's performance in certain areas but acknowledged weaknesses that need improvement.

In the run game, Bhayshul Tuten demonstrated success with 65 rushing yards on just 13 carries, averaging 5.0 yards per attempt. However, pass protection emerged as the primary issue. Trevor Lawrence faced considerable pressure on 35.5% of his dropbacks, resulting in two sacks and seven hits. This pressure proved critical for Denver's defense, as they effectively capitalized when Lawrence was under pressure.

Coen highlighted the need to enhance the launch point and develop longer routes to alleviate the burden on the offensive linemen. The Jaguars will face similarly formidable defensive lines in playoff games, and Coen remains confident in the team's ability to respond positively.
