Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson will be giving offensive coordinator Press Taylor the responsibility to call plays, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The news broke just hours before the team’s 2023 season opener at Indianapolis. Pederson was able to dice up Gus Bradley’s defense in two meetings last season, so Taylor will have an immediate test in Week 1 against a division rival.
Pederson told Rapoport, “I totally trust Press. We think alike. We’ve been together for a long time, and he’s around Trevor [Lawrence] all the time and knows what Trevor likes.
