In a press conference before Wednesday’s practice, Jacksonville Jaguars Head Coach Doug Pederson addressed the media as the team gears up for their AFC South matchup against the Houston Texans. Here are some key takeaways from his session.
Coach Pederson started off by providing injury updates during the media availability. He highlighted the importance of communication on the field, stating, “The staff needs to do a better job preparing the team, but also players need to do a much better job in communicating on the field.”
One player who will be getting an opportunity to shine is linebacker Ventrell Miller. With Foye likely out for the upcoming game, Pederson announced that Miller would be stepping up to take on a larger role in the defense, suggesting a significant increase in snaps for him over Chad Muma.
Despite some recent struggles, Pederson expressed confidence in the team’s mental state, saying, “No concern about team psyche from my end.” He remains positive about their ability to bounce back and perform well in the upcoming game.
Overall, Pederson’s message to the media reflected a mix of addressing challenges, while also emphasizing the opportunities for players to step up and make an impact. The Jaguars will need to rally together and put forth a strong performance as they face off against their division rival this weekend.
