Remember in his rookie year and earlier in this reason,  when Trevor felt pressure in the pocket,  he'd almost always circle backwards to the and get away from the pressure?  Often as he was circling he was going backwards blindly,  and would actually run right into the other pass rusher!  It was actually becoming a problem.

Since the London game, he's completely stopped doing that and is actually climbing the pocket or moving laterally away from the pressure.

It's been actually really awesome to watch.  That pass to Agnew up the sideline is a prefect example is how his pocket movement has gotten better IN SEASON!!!

Trevor Lawrence has been amazing in his progress this year

Absolutely nailed this!!!

I'm wondering if this results in part from processing his reads more quickly and making quicker decisions.

Honestly,

I think it's because Pederson is the HC.  I can absolutely imagine Pederson taking Lawrence aside and telling him to stop that "circle back" bull [BLEEP] that he's seen other scrambling QBs do.

Remember, Pederson was Dan Marino's back up.  Marino never pulled that type of nonsense.  I have a feeling Pederson began drilling Lawrence in how to work within the pocket.

It really is a thing of beauty to watch that play with Agnew.  I've seen it multiple times, and every time, you can see the training with Pederson kick it.

Go ahead and re-watch the play.  There's a split second that I think Trevor considers doing the "circle backwards" move...  But instead he steps up, looks around, and then moves laterally...  That's all on coaching.

Trevor Lawrence has great intangible gifts.  But the best one is his ability to learn from his coaches.  Pederson is providing a Opus and the entire country is missing out.  But we.  We Jaguars fans are watching a masterpiece being painted in real time.
