how long are you people going to let Mad Dog troll you elementary style?

RT @jpshadrick: Gerhart darted through the line on first touch in team run period. Nice #jaguars

Also just saw that Henne will start the entire first half vs the Bears

According to John O.. I wish he'd clarify what he means by this "Bortles appeared to take a repetition with the first team midway through practice. The Jaguars worked rookies with first-team players fairly consistency throughout practice, but on one play early Bortles was working with starting left tackle Luke Joeckel, starting left tackle Zane Beadles and starting wide receiver Marqise Lee, among others. The ball appeared to slip from Bortles' hand, but it was the first time the rookie No. 3 overall selection worked so extensively with the first team in either the offseason or training camp" i

@APMarkLong: Jaguars RB Toby Gerhart practicing today


@ryanohalloran: Quick hitters from Jedd Fisch session: 1. Linder will play some center against Chicago.


@ryanohalloran: 2. Estimated 5-6 carries is a "good number" for Gerhart on Thursday.


@ryanohalloran: 3. Said Bortles had "poise, confidence, looked comfortable ... made right decisions with the ball."


@ryanohalloran: 4. Focused on running game early against Tampa Bay because wanted to see how new OL worked together.

@ryanohalloran: 5. Fisch said there were two plays Lee didn't run right route.


@ryanohalloran: Shorts had helmet on to catch a few passes (no routes) but now back with injured guys. #Jaguars

Keep hearing similar things. Good to hear.

@HaysCarlyon: Toby Gerhart, Sherrod Martin and J.T. Thomas retuned to practice for #Jaguars.


@HaysCarlyon: Bortles had two beautiful completions to Chad Bumphis, but Henne made throw of the day on sideline laser to Hurns. #Jaguars


@HaysCarlyon: Jeremy Harris had an interception for the second consecutive day. #Jaguars

@HaysCarlyon: Marqise Lee caught a bunch of passes today. I think he'll be showcased Thursday night. #Jaguars


@HaysCarlyon: Ramses Barden made two impressive catches in the end zone during team work (third team vs. third team). #Jaguars


@HaysCarlyon: Marcedes Lewis made an impressive, physical catch on tight coverage from Joe Young.


@HaysCarlyon: Gus Bradley says he appreciates fans coming out during open practices, last one was today.


@ryanohalloran: Henne first half. Bortles second half on Thursday.

@JessBlaylock: Chad Henne will go first half vs Bears. Bortles will play most of second half, possibly all of it. #Jaguars

Our secondary seems like it will be in good shape. Some good depth there.

Lame. Hopefully Bortles gets a chance with the first team in game 3.

Same thing Carroll did with Flynn/Wilson. Flynn played the entire first half the second preseason game. Wilson played the second half. Wilson outplayed Flynn and was named starter.

Yawn.....you're probably just miffed because you are one of the start Bortles now! crowd, right? 

 

Its amazing, we finally got a coach here thats doing QB development right, and some still complain. I guess they learned nothing from past blunders of head coaches we've had.

knee jerk react? How do you know he dosent want to just see Bortles with the first team? That dosent necessarily mean he wants him to start.

Theres 2 more preseason games for Bortles to get some time with the first team, if thats what the coaches want to see. 

 

The poster I was responding to made it seem like the end of the world that it wasn't happening on Thursday.

All he said was "lame" and that he hoped he would get time in the third game. How is that anything like that?

End of the world, huh?

So its a setup to make sure Bortles outshines Henne?

I really don't think he was.
