They definitely had to remove a large number of route possibilities from the receivers' route tree because Bortles threw so many of them with wild inaccuracy. 

There was a stark difference between what Olson let him do compared to Fisch, and then Hackett ripped even more pages out when he took over for Hackett.  Mitigation of turnovers was the name of the game when handling Blake Bortles - and that involved removing throws he couldn't make from ever being called. 

Foles has a much shorter list of throws that will need to be edited out of the playbook.
