Saleh Says Jaguars Run Advanced, Legal Sign‑Reading Operation Ahead of 49ers Matchup

Saleh framed the tactic as lawful scouting rather than a rules breach.

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.
