Heitz Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Jaguars' Blake Bortles tosses 5 interceptions in rough practice Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer July 30, 2017 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles turned in one of the worst practices of his career Saturday night by throwing five interceptions, including two to a player who last played in an NFL game in 2015. Bortles threw two interceptions in 7-on-7 drills and three others in 11-on-11, one of which linebacker Telvin Smith returned for a touchdown. Cornerback Tyler Patmon, who spent time with the Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers last season after playing in two games with Miami in 2015, intercepted Bortles twice in 11-on-11. Linebacker Josh McNary (7-on-7) and safety Tashaun Gipson (11-on-11) also had interceptions. Coach Doug Marrone was clearly disappointed after the two-and-a-half-hour practice, the team's first in pads. "I think any time someone doesn't perform to what you want to do, you're concerned about it," Marrone said. "He's not the only one that's out there. There's some good things. "We're going to look at it. We're going to look at those plays. If there's any struggle or things we don't like, then obviously we're going to be smart enough to throw that crap out." Marrone said he didn't try to encourage Bortles on the field or after the practice because, "If I've got to do that now, then we're going to be in trouble." Because, you know, why would a coach try to encourage his players? Saints always dole out tough love... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 No lead is safe in the NFL if you try your hardest to piss the game away when it's clearly already won as the Atlanta Falcons did. That had a lot more to do with the Falcons giving the game away then the "way the passing rules are". In fact if the Falcons did what Marrone just said he wants to do for the last 5 minutes of the game they'd be Super Bowl Champs. Agree on this Falcons; they lost the game because they did not adjust well after halftime. Run, run, run is better than Run, run, pass, punt if you can generate the downs.

Alphadawg7 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Great hire Jaguars....he wants to run the ball every play...let's see how well that works in years two and three after he's had a chance to ruin the offensive line... "Last month, when head coach Doug Marrone was asked how many times quarterback Blake Bortles would ideally throw in a game, he said 'Zero.' That was not really a joke. 'For me, I want to run the ball every play, Marrone told reporters. I want to go back to the old way. I want to change the game.'" John Fox already tried this with Tebow and McGahee...he did get a Playoff win, but that was a fluke lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
