Jaguars insider: “We’re starting to click…”

JACKSONVILLE – Ten games in, Trevor Lawrence likes his progress.

Jaguars offensive coordinator Press Taylor likes it, too. And as the Jaguars exit their 2022 bye week, it’s a trend Lawrence and Taylor said must continue.

That’s a major focus for the final seven weeks of the 2022 season.

“There’s always things I can improve on,” Lawrence said as the Jaguars (3-7) prepared to play the AFC North-leading Baltimore Ravens (7-3) at TIAA Bank Field Sunday at 1 p.m.

“I feel like I’ve played well the last two weeks, but there’s still a few plays every game that I could do better, whether it’s a missed throw, missed read, get through my progressions faster, protections, all that stuff. There are little things, but I do feel really comfortable, really confident.”

Lawrence, the No. 1 overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft, has improved significantly in his second NFL season. He has completed 65.2 percent of his passes after completing 59.6 percent of his passes in 2021.

He registered a passer rating of more than 100 in five of the first 10 games this season after registering just one such game in his rookie season.

Lawrence in the final two games before this past weekend’s bye completed 76 percent of his passes for three touchdowns with no interceptions in a victory over the Las Vegas Raiders and a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. His rating was more than 100 in each game.

Taylor said such repeated performances are the goal.

“It’s really just the consistency,” Taylor said. “Obviously he’s put two good games in a row together. We want to continue to see the growth we feel like we’ve started seeing on a more consistent basis. As a unit, that’s really where we need to be.”

Taylor said the major objective offensively moving forward is improving in the red zone – specifically, eliminating turnovers there. The Jaguars had four such turnovers in Weeks 1-10, with Lawrence throwing…
