Jaguars Week 1 prep centers on leadership and a measured, process-driven approach as Jacksonville hosts Carolina. The six-season captains — Lawrence, Hainsey, Oluokun, Hines-Allen, Lewis, Cooke — anchor offense, O-line, defense, and special teams. Dennis Gardeck previews Week 1 for the defense, and Arik Armstead provides inside-out thoughts on length and edge-work to disrupt the Jaguars’ blockers. Coach Coen discusses the balance between preseason reps and game readiness, emphasizing the process over immediate results while eagerly counting down to kickoff. The overall signal is a disciplined, flexible plan with rotating game captains and a focus on execution in a Week 1 test against Carolina.
