There seems to be even split blame between the coaching staff and the player on the play Trevor Lawrence was injured on.
Emotions are high in Jacksonville in the wake of Trevor Lawrence's knee injury vs. the Colts, especially with the quarterback's status for Week 7 vs. the Saints appearing up in the air.
Still, the question of whether the Jaguars should have ever been put in that position has been posed seemingly over and over ever since Lawrence went down. On Monday, head coach Doug Pederson explained what the Jaguars could have done better on the play in question: both from a coaching and a player perspective.
"The play call, I’m one hundred percent behind the play call. It’s something that a lot of teams do in situations like that to get the quarterback on the edge. Defensively, they’re pinching gaps and they’re edge pressures and it’s a good of getting your quarterback on the perimeter to get the first down and ice the game at that point. As coaches too, we can instruct our quarterback better, coach him better, and understand that if you can’t get outside, just go down.
