The Jacksonville Jaguars lacked physicality last year, and that was reflected in their inability to establish the run. Not surprisingly, new head coach Liam Coen has put an emphasis on the team's play in the trenches. The approach is quickly paying dividends.
Mia O'Brien of ESPN reported that Day 5 of training camp is "the juicest" practice she's seen the Jags run in years. John Shipley of Sports Illustrated echoed the sentiment and noted one day later that the team ramped up the physicality. Here's the skinny.
"The physicality took another step on Tuesday, with there seemingly being much more chippy behavior between the offensive line and running backs and the defensive front seven," Shipley wrote.
