Trevor Lawrence has struggled with accuracy despite throwing quickly — but new Jaguars coach Liam Coen might have just unlocked him.  Warren Sharp dives into the game film and analytics to preview the 2025 Jacksonville Jaguars.

Lawrence ranked bottom-five in completion percentage over expected the last two seasons, even though he threw with the NFL’s 3rd-fastest time to throw and 2nd-deepest target depth. That’s a broken formula. 

Enter Liam Coen. Just like he did with Baker Mayfield last year, Coen cut Lawrence’s target depth in the preseason. The result? 82% completions, #2 out of 87 QBs. 

📘 Get the 2025 Sharp Football Preview: https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 

• Why Trevor Lawrence’s quick throws were still inefficient 

• How his deep target depth hurt his accuracy 

• The Baker Mayfield blueprint Coen already used 

• Why the Jaguars offense looked completely different this preseason 

• Whether 2025 could finally be Lawrence’s breakout season
