Quote:You can cite "22 y/o rookie" all you want. I'm talking about playing style. Blake is regressing into the Chad Henne mold these past 3 games, and in my opinion its happening because the coaches are shortening the field on him. Which is only helping the defense. 

 

Let Blake attack the whole field. If the deeper passes get picked off, like last week, so what? Thats better than continually throwing short attempts that get the defense playing in a 10-15 yard box and ultimately all you are doing is inviting a pick 6 once a route is ultimately jumped. 

 

Yes, Bortles audibled out, but the INT happened largely because the defense knew there was little threat of a deeper route. Thats what you seem to be missing. 

You might want to try watching the game. They showed blitz from the right, He checked out of the run to a hot read to the right you can hear him call it. This had happened earlier in the game and he threw a quick pass to the hot read. The int happened because the experienced DB saw it and jumped the short hot read. I tis pretty simple had nothing to do with there were no deep patterns BB killed all the deep routes when he saw the blitz coming, he just needs to read the Safties better when he does that so they dont jump the route.
