- Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence: Liam Coen and I are 'really starting to get on the same page'
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was talking with wide receiver Parker Washington after practice on Aug. 14.
They've connected on several passes throughout camp, but were trying to get timing down after Lawrence had a would-be sack on a play to Washington earlier in the practice.

The pair was joined by a third person, head coach Liam Coen , who demonstrated a quarterback's drop back while talking to both players.

It's not the first time Coen has met with players to explain the way things should be. He imitated a quarterback taking snaps under-center earlier in the offseason as several players looked on.
He pulled out an iPad to show film to receivers on the opening day of training camp. And he's often seen debriefing with players as they come off the field.
"He's very, I'd say, thorough too, just with the details of every play of what he's thinking," Lawrence said of Coen's communication. "The way he communicates with me on the sideline from play-to-play, between series in practice, he does a great job of talking to me and seeing what I'm seeing."

Coen said in his introductory press conference that everything would be built around Lawrence. A good way to establish the foundation for that is through constant communication.

Coen and Lawrence spent the offseason feeling each other out. Lawrence was tasked with mastering a new scheme and Coen was tasked with being able to breakthrough to a team coming off a bad season.
The early returns are positive for both as Lawrence passed a test on knowledge of the scheme and players have talked about the new coaching staff with high regard.
"I think we're really starting to get on the same page as far as [how] I'm thinking, how he's thinking in certain concepts and playing faster," Lawrence continued. "That is going to be something that just continues to grow as we play more together. ... But it's been awesome having him as our coach."
