Jaguars Media members Kainani Stevens, Brian Sexton, J.P. Shadrick and John Oehser share thoughts on Tuesday’s Day 1 of 2026 organized team activities at the Miller Electric Center.

Hey, John. With Head Coach Liam Coen, defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile and the front office all repeatedly emphasizing "identity," "physicality" and "we-above-me" this offseason, do you sense this Jaguars team is trying to become something fundamentally different than the talented-but-inconsistent teams of the last few years — or is this mostly the natural offseason optimism every regime talks about in May? And if it is different, what is the first real sign fans should look for in training camp that it is actually taking hold?

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence during Week 1 of 2026 Organized Team Activities discussed his approach in his second offseason in Head Coach Liam Coen’s offense, “It’s really about being intentional every day…”

Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter spoke to the media Wednesday at a local Planet Fitness event as the 2026 offseason program continues: “I feel a lot stronger; the weight room was my best friend, being able to let out some anger because I didn’t have my two fee

Hey, John. I was thinking about former Jaguars quarterback David Garrard the other day, and it got me thinking of other similar players: Decent but not great quarterbacks that kept a franchise stable for a period of time, giving them a chance to win every Sunday. Guys like Matt Hasselbeck, Matt Schaub, Jim Harbaugh and others. I feel like teams aren't content with this type of quarterback anymore. That they would rather shoot for the moon than ride with a guy like that for a few years. Do you see a similar trend – and if so, do think this is the correct approach by teams? Quarterbacks are such a cap hit that having a mid-level guy may let you build a better team around him.

Mr. Oehser, will adding more tight ends mean the run game is going to be the main focus?

Hello, John. So, we have the "13 Personnel" package as a new offensive trend in the NFL. On the defensive side, it may be the "big nickel" package. From the internet: "Traditional nickel defenses put a smaller, coverage-heavy cornerback in the slot. Big nickel replaces that player with a bigger safety (often a"money backer") who can match up physically with massive pass-catching tight ends." Is this a response to the move towards the 13 Personnel? Which player(s) would be the money backer for the Jaguars?
