Colts
Colts OC Marcus Brady explained that while they arenโt changing their offensive scheme to fit new QB Carson Wentz, they do plan to work to find ways to accentuate his strengths as a quarterback.
โWell, for the most part itโs not like we are installing a new offense just for him,โ Brady said, via ColtsWire. โItโs just what fits for him, how we call a game โ as far as him and Frank (Reich) will communicate, the three of us. Itโs the flow of the game as far as first and second down, what are some good concepts to run, third down what he likes.โ
While avoiding making any wholesale changes to their offensive scheme, it appears they will do everything they can to ensure a smooth transition with their new starting QB.
โJust going up and down of what fits him well in order to make our offense a success,โ Brady said. โNot just what fits him well, but there are some things that fit our offense well that we need to improve for him, that he needs to get better and get more reps at as well. So itโs a blend of both, not everything is just built around him but is built around our entire offense.โ
Jaguars
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence said his goal this offseason is to understand the offensive system inside and out.
โI want to just master the offense,โ Lawrence said, via Jaguars.com. โI want to have complete control, know everything and be comfortable. You canโt really play free and play really well if you donโt know what youโre doing. Thatโs the goal, to master the offense by the time training camp comes around so in training camp we can focus everything forward on being the best team we can come August 14 and then going on into the regular season as well.
โThatโs the plan. It starts with the quarterback. Obviously, I have to be ready and Iโm going to do everything I can to ensure thatโs the case. Iโm excited to get started.โ
Jaguars HC Urban Meyer said Lawrence is still adjusting to NFL speed and the practices have been up-and-down.
โWe did have a couple of bad practices where the balls were trying to pound them in there,โ Meyer said. โItโs a much faster game. Itโs the best of the best on that side of the ball. Thatโs something weโre coaching him through, but it is a concern.
โItโs our job to get him those situations as much as possible. We have not been able to do that much. Youโre not allowed [in the offseason] to be in those situations where the defense is breaking on the ball hard. Theyโre laid off right now. That will be something that will be instrumental in training camp once we start.โ
