Each song has a different rhythm, each play has a different rhythm\u2026 we\u2019re trying to create black-and-white lines for footwork, for reads, for timing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This offseason marks Lawrence\u2019s third NFL system and third head coach, with Coen now taking over play-calling duties after a standout year as Tampa Bay\u2019s offensive coordinator. The goal, Coen says, has been to refine the fundamentals while allowing Lawrence to master the overall structure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I\u2019ve really looked for from him in this time has been focusing on his lower half and just running the show,\u201d Coen said. \u201cIs he operating the offense at a high level? Yes, he is right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence was limited to 10 games in 2024 after suffering a shoulder injury that required surgery, but the former <a href=\"https:\/\/clemsonwire.usatoday.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Clemson <\/a>star still threw for 2,045 yards and 11 touchdowns. Now healthy and armed with a five-year, $275 million contract extension, Lawrence is looking to bounce back under new leadership in Jacksonville.<\/p>\n<p>Contact us\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Clemson_Wire\" rel=\"nofollow\">@Clemson_Wire<\/a>\u00a0on X, and like our page on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ClemsonWire\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0for ongoing coverage of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/clemsonwire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Clemson Tigers<\/a>\u00a0news and notes, plus opinions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen is already seeing encouraging progress from Trevor Lawrence as the franchise&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":117751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2060],"tags":[247,265,1681,8168,1638,318,339,7,212,125,2401,213,2941,1637,1642,248,267,88,6,245,537,530,9,266,790,2940,314],"class_list":{"0":"post-117750","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville-jaguars","8":"tag-american","9":"tag-american-football","10":"tag-clemson","11":"tag-clemson-tigers-football","12":"tag-coen","13":"tag-college","14":"tag-college-sports","15":"tag-football","16":"tag-jacksonville","17":"tag-jacksonville-jaguars","18":"tag-jacksonvillejaguars","19":"tag-jaguars","20":"tag-lawrence","21":"tag-liam","22":"tag-liam-coen","23":"tag-national","24":"tag-national-sports","25":"tag-news","26":"tag-nfl","27":"tag-overall","28":"tag-overall-positive","29":"tag-positive","30":"tag-sports","31":"tag-sports-news","32":"tag-tigers","33":"tag-trevor","34":"tag-trevor-lawrence"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114657067239976004","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
