JACKSONVILLE – The idea is to be bold and physical, always.
Dennis Gardeck on Monday spoke to the media a day after the Jaguars moved to 3-1 for the first time in seven seasons – and the veteran linebacker reiterated what Head Coach Liam Coen said after the previous day's victory.
The Jaguars are a tough, physical team. That's it. That's the identity.
"It was pretty evident from Day One that that's who we're going to be as a football team," Gardeck said.
The Jaguars on Sunday beat the San Francisco 49ers, 26-21 – their second consecutive victory and the third time in four games they have run for 139 or more yards. They registered 4 takeaways, the fourth time in as many games they have forced 3 or more takeaways.
"We're all in it together," Coen said Monday. "I appreciate everybody playing the way they played, the physicality, the chip on their shoulder. As much as our locker room can continue to buy into that edge, play with an edge, compete with an edge and prepare with an edge, it's going to help us as we move forward as a team."
If toughness is a theme, it's one Jaguars players are embracing.
"We play very hard," Jaguars center Robert Hainsey said. "Our defense plays out of their minds, and offensively we finish. We play hard."
The Jaguars' defense in addition to leading the NFL in takeaways ranks fourth in the NFL against the run and fifth in points allowed, with coordinator Anthony Campanile's defense keyed by being physical at the point of attack and aggressively getting off blocks.
"It's really refreshing to be a part of Campy's defense," Gardeck said. "Football is kind of spoken in violence and that's something that Campy and this coaching staff understands and it's fun to play football the way it's intended to play."
Hainsey said the toughness is more than physical. The Jaguars in the last two weeks have won two one-score games, beating the Houston Texans 17-10 at home in Week 3. They were 3-10 in such games last season.
"When things aren't going your way, not going how you want them to, you have to continue to trust the process, keep trying to make it go for each other," Hainsey said. "You saw at the end of the game we were able to do that.
"That was a great lesson for everyone to see and feel what that's like, to keep fighting through."
Happy Victory Monday! The Jaguars went to the West Coast, made a statement, and came home with a W. Relive the energy with locker room moments, fan reactions from across the map, and gameday shots.

NOTABLE
- Travon Walker sustained a wrist injury Sunday, with Coen saying the fourth-year defensive end will see a specialist this week. "We are in the information-gathering process with that, and we'll know more after he has that appointment to be able to see what his status will be moving forward," Coen said.
NOTABLE
- Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence on Sunday completed 21 of 31 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions, including completing 15 of 20 first-half passes for 132 yards and a touchdown. "If you look at the first half, he was dialing," Coen said.
"He was getting the ball out accurate, much improved on the out-breakers, really both to his left and to his right. Then in the second half, it just kind of started slow. The penalties started to tick up, so the operation gets a little bit jacked up and you just saw maybe some misses. But to not turn it over and to continue to put us in the right position in terms of running the football … he has been phenomenal with the protections, the schemes, getting us in the right protections. I think it was a step in the right direction, a lot to build off of."
NOTABLE
- Jaguars players on Monday responded positively to Coen confronting 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh following Sunday's victory. Saleh last week said the Jaguars did a "great" job legally stealing signs, with Coen declining comment on the matter following Sunday's game. "He cares immensely," Hainsey said of Coen. "He's emotionally invested. In his job, that's the normal thing. It's hard not to be. You have to care a lot to be willing to do what it takes to get to the level we want to get to. We all love seeing that because it makes you want to go play for them. I do, and we all do. That's an unbelievable trait for a coach to have." Said Gardeck, "Passion can look like aggression when you don't know what you're looking at. I want a passionate leader. It's good to see that this stuff matters just as much to him as it does to all of us. I'm proud of my head coach."
