The Jacksonville Jaguars have had some issues protecting the ball, committing multiple turnovers in three of their past four games. And heading into this week’s matchup with the San Francisco 49ers, star quarterback Trevor Lawrence wants to correct that.
During his press conference this week, Trevor Lawerence made it clear that protecting the ball was a point of emphasis heading into this week’s game.
“Every week you kind of hope it’s that week [for an offensive breakout],” Lawrence said in his Wednesday press conference according to Pro Football Talk. “We’ve been a lot more consistent on just moving the ball, not stalling out as much. But then, you see two weeks ago, we have the dumb turnovers that kept Pittsburgh in the game and gave them a shot and didn’t let us really takeoff and blow the game open.
“It’s something like that every week that we have to fix, you’re hoping every week is that week and we’re emphasizing it. We got a lot of emphasis on the details of just not having turnovers, being better on third down and all those things play together and have a clean game.”
Obviously, the Jaguars have been successful despite their turnover issues, winning five consecutive games. But the team clearly wants to clean things up a bit this week.
