"That was just one throw. I was pissed," Coen said. "You know it is what it is. You know, it's not that's emotion. It's not personal ever. That's just kind of me getting worked up." "He threw a dime in the back of the end zone to make a play. I was very pleased with his competitive nature and the way he stayed calm on the sideline. He's pretty even-keeled, which is good for me.

Liam Coen opens up about Brian Thomas Jr.'s lackluster performance in Week 2 against the Bengals

In the post-game press conference, the Jaguars coach came forward to address the unimpressive performance by wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.

He was targeted a total of 12 times on the field. However, Thomas could only make four of those catches for 49 receiving yards. Liam Coen stated that he will go back and watch the tape before working on this issue.

"I gotta go watch it and just go figure out what that was all about and what it looked like," Coen said as per USA Today. "Yeah, I got to go take a look at that."

Liam Coen and his team started the season with a 26-10 victory over the Panthers last week. They are next scheduled to take on the Houston Texans on Sept. 21 at EverBank Stadium. The game will be broadcast on CBS at 1:00 pm ET.
