Doug Pederson has a much better feel for his team now than he did a year ago. It’s not all that surprising considering he’s entering his second season with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Still, the concerns Pederson had before the 2022 opener have been replaced by convictions. He has talent at key positions. He has experience in the offensive and defensive systems. He has leaders, playmakers and, maybe most important, guys who believe they can repeat as AFC South champions.“There’s so much confidence right now in that locker room, and that’s the good thing,” Pederson said Wednesday.
Pederson is trying to downplay sky-high expectations, but he understands anything short of a deeper playoff run would be a disappointment. It’s why he provided players with a history lesson Wednesday about their Week 1 opponent, division rival Indianapolis.The Jaguars have lost nine of 10 to the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.
“I think that’s what success looks like. ... You just have to go with that mindset every day of getting better and not letting bad plays, bad games, get in your head and just continuing to turn the page, learn from the good, learn from the bad and continue growing.”The Jaguars had plenty of growing pains in Pederson’s debut season. They started 2-6 and trailed early in nearly every game.
