Trevor Lawrence Sharpens Mechanics and Leadership as Liam Coen Reshapes Jaguars’ Offensive Identity

With Liam Coen taking over as both head coach and offensive play-caller, the Jacksonville Jaguars are signaling a renewed commitment to strengthening their offensive unit, beginning with quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

The organization is optimistic that, under Coen’s guidance, Lawrence will make significant strides in his performance during the 2025 season. Coen’s dual responsibilities point to a direct and involved approach in Lawrence’s growth, focusing on sharpening his fundamentals and improving the overall efficiency of the offense.

Improving Footwork and Timing Key to Lawrence’s Quarterback Development Progress

A key element of Lawrence’s offseason work has been improving his footwork, a critical but often overlooked aspect of quarterback play. Coen emphasized that footwork is akin to a dance, with each offensive system requiring a unique rhythm and timing. By standardizing Lawrence’s footwork across various play types, the coaching staff hopes to give him clearer mechanical cues to fall back on during high-pressure moments.

According to Coen, Lawrence has already shown marked improvement in his footwork during the team’s Organized Team Activities (OTAs) and phase two of their offseason program. These advancements are evident not only in his physical movements but also in the rhythm and timing of his play. Coen noted that while the game often presents unpredictable challenges, having solid footwork helps players stay grounded and execute under pressure.

Lawrence Shows Growth in Leadership, Poised to Command Jaguars’ Offense in 2025

Beyond technical skills, Coen is looking for Lawrence to assert greater command over the offense. Rather than focusing solely on precision or accuracy during the early stages of training, Coen is evaluating how effectively Lawrence can “run the show.” So far, he has been impressed with Lawrence’s ability to manage the offense, showing confidence in his decision-making and control over the team’s tempo and flow.

Although the season opener against the Carolina Panthers on September 7 is still months away, Lawrence’s progress is an encouraging development for the Jaguars. Growth in fundamentals and leadership during the offseason often leads to more consistent and effective performance when the regular season begins. With Coen’s structured guidance and Lawrence’s commitment to the process, Jacksonville fans have good reason to feel confident about what lies ahead in 2025.
