<p class="" style="color:rgb(41,47,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Panic moment for Jaguars fans: As he was taking the podium Bortles banged his right hand on the corner of the podium. Right on the knuckle.

You probably were late to it. He only answered questions for about 10 minutes.

Careful, Blake!


That'll probably send him to IR with our luck.
I heard it on the radio. 

 

they talked about Henne as a mentor

 

they asked him what time he shows up in the morning.... wut?

 

nothing ground breaking.  a waste of time.

Nothing wrong with that question. Arriving at 6:00 tells me how committed he is to be a great quarterback.

Our luck he breaks his hand, and we see Chad Henne this week.

 

Time to put pads on the podium.

<p class="" style="color:rgb(41,47,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Fisch says he was fine with Bortles first INT cuz he took shot downfield that "our guy can come down with." 2nd INT can't happen. <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/jaguars?src=hash'>#jaguars</a>

I think we can all agree on that.

I think Blake thrives off of pressure, which of course is a great quality to have in a franchise QB.
Ya ARob mistimed his jump... or whatever he was doing

<p class="" style="color:rgb(41,47,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Correction, Fisch said there was a "couple plays" Bortles wanted out of game plan, then Fisch added 5 more. <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/Jaguars?src=hash'>#Jaguars</a>

In other words, Bortles wants to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and do whatever it takes to win. This guy has the mental makeup everybody wants.

No, it's nothing ground breaking, but interesting nonetheless.  It shows that his routine hasn't been altered in any way beyond the fact that instead of taking mental reps during practice, he's the guy taking the actual snaps now.  It did show the dedication he has to getting better based on the fact that he is getting there at 6 every morning, studying film, doing their daily training, meeting, and practice routine, and then ending the day with more film study in the evening.  It's also interesting to hear him talking about how helpful Henne has been through this entire process, and how he's right there with him studying the film, breaking it down with him.  I guess the value you see in these things depends on your perspective.

I like the fact that there's collaboration between the OC and the QB, and that there's give and take on both sides.
crap I missed this, what an awkward time
Quote:I like the fact that there's collaboration between the OC and the QB, and that there's give and take on both sides.
 

Agreed, it's a good sign on both sides.  I like that Blake sees things he doesn't like and can voice his opinion to make changes.  I also like that Jedd is collaborating with him and adding things in as well.
