Liam Coen explains message being Jaguars' aggressive trades
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said his team took his message to heart on Monday and heard it "loud and clear." "Around this time of year, as it comes to trades, we're going to do everything in our power to give us the best chance to pursue greatness.
Key points
- I mean, he's a large human being that can move, that does have some rush and some three-down value, and he's another captain," Coen explained, adding that Bates and Davis were both captains at their previous organizations.
- "Coached against him when he was at Georgia in 2021, when I was at Kentucky, and just remember him walking the field pregame and wondering how we're going to gain a yard with that defense they had there," Coen reflected.
- It's unclear whether or how much Davis, Bates or Godchaux will play in their first week with the team, Coen said, but it's something they'll work out throughout the week.
