JACKSONVILLE \u2013 Senior writer John Oehser, senior correspondent Brian Sexton and team reporter Kainani Stevens offer quick thoughts on the Jaguars as they prepare to play the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in Houston, Tex., in a 2025 Week 10 game Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n John Oehser, Jaguars Senior Writer\u2026<\/p>\n

Staying aggressive. The Jaguars’ new leadership regime stayed true to its vision as October became November. The Jaguars at 5-3 \u2013 a game and a half behind the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South \u2013 on Tuesday traded a fourth- and sixth-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Las Vegas Raiders for wide receiver Jakobi Meyers<\/a>. This was the latest in a slew of trades made since General Manager James Gladstone<\/a>, Head Coach Liam Coen<\/a> and Executive Vice President Tony Boselli<\/a> took over early last offseason \u2013 moves that include trading up to No. 2 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft to select wide receiver\/defensive back Travis Hunter and trading veteran cornerback Tyson Campbell to the Cleveland Browns for veteran cornerback Greg Newsome II<\/a>. This regime is committed to the long-term by drafting and developing, which will be its core philosophy. But in the short-term \u2013 as they contend for the postseason and build toward that long-term \u2013 this regime clearly wants to win now and will aggressively work to do so.
\nEmbrace these guys. We’re essentially at the 2025 season’s midway point, meaning we’re well into time to know a team’s identity. The Jaguars’ identity remains a mentally and physically tough team, one that will play into the fourth quarter with belief and the ability to make clutch plays late. That approach has been evident in multiple tight victories this season \u2013 over the Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders \u2013 and that seems likely to have to be the approach moving forward. The Jaguars are a beat-up team right now. They gutsily played through injuries and illness to beat the Raiders Sunday and likely will have to grind close victories in the coming weeks to stay in contention. The Jaguars as of now don’t seem likely to turn in many one-sided, pretty victories. But they seem very capable of fighting, willing and scrapping their way into the postseason. That’s fine. This regime feels like it’s building toward future “dominance.” Year One team may be about winning anyway it can \u2013 weird, wild and even heart-stopping \u2013 which could make for a memorable final nine games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE \u2013 Senior writer John Oehser, senior correspondent Brian Sexton and team reporter Kainani Stevens offer quick thoughts…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37022,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[3216,3214,881,116,118,22939,117,885,3217,880,6315,884,883,3215],"class_list":["post-37021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-brian-sexton","tag-category-waste-pro","tag-front-page-headline","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-jaguars-at-houston-texans-2025-reg-10","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-john-oehser","tag-kainani-kai-stevens-zaskey","tag-news-front-page-headline","tag-news-game-week","tag-news-gameday","tag-news-jaguars-news","tag-news-quick-thoughts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
