Little to nothing changed, and that was the idea.
That was how Coen described the Jaguars’ practice week when speaking to the media Friday – as a week like any other week during the team’s eight-game winning streak entering the 2025 postseason.
“Same as it has been for the last 10 weeks or so,” Coen said.
Coen on Friday echoed the sentiments of players as the Jaguars prepared for their first postseason game in three years – that the idea is to go 1-0 and treat Sunday as it it’s the most important game in franchise history because it’s the next game.
“It has been good,” Coen said. “Guys have been on it. Good concentration, details in practice and walk through good stuff to coach off of.”
The Jaguars held what they call their “Fast Friday” practice Friday, focusing on red-zone situations, with a normal “walkthrough” practice Saturday.
“They understand what’s at stake without having to go and say, ‘Oh, this could be our last practice, this could be our last walkthrough,'” Coen said. “You don’t put yourself there at all. I have not put myself there at all personally. You just keep trying to do what you’ve been doing to the best of your ability and then let the results be what they may and go play your asses off on Sunday for 60 minutes and see what the heck happens.
“The way that you have to stay so singularly focused on your job, your execution, your responsibilities, your details, the game plan, knowing your opponent to the best of your ability and then go play … because you let anything else get into your mind, it just starts to cloud it and you start to think about things that really don’t matter.”
