Overview
- Robert Saleh called Jacksonville "almost elite" at picking up pre‑snap cues and stressed multiple times that he was not alleging anything illegal.
- Jaguars coach Liam Coen declined to wade into the claim and said his staff seeks indicators through formations, motion and shifts as part of weekly preparation.
- Reports tied Saleh’s reference to two assistants with Minnesota backgrounds — offensive coordinator Grant Udinski and offensive line coach Shaun Sarrett.
- Saleh broadened the point to the Sean McVay/Kevin O’Connell coaching tree, saying those offenses are known for exploiting defensive signals and tells.
- Coverage noted this practice is permitted when derived from film or observation, analysts saw potential mind‑games at work, and no NFL probe has been reported.
