Jacksonville’s preseason opener vs. Pittsburgh exposed a clear, repeatable flaw: self-inflicted penalties. Eight flags for 49 yards stalled drives and kept the Jaguars from building momentum on offense, while also handing Pittsburgh favorable situations. The culprits were evident early: Anton Harrison drew a false start on the opening snap, Walker Little was whistled for an illegal block in the back on the same series. Liam Coen framed the issue as a non-talent problem—pre-snap discipline and technique—emphasizing it’s correctable with focus and repetition. In fantasy terms, it’s a reminder that clean blocking and disciplined routes can unlock the offense; if Jacksonville cleans this up, Lawrences’s protection and the run game should gain efficiency, and the Jag defense will avoid giving teams extended drives. The preseason serve is simple: clean up the self-inflicted mistakes now, or they risk carrying into the regular season and muffling potential upside on the skill positions.
