Quote:I found this interesting so I scanned through the condensed version just watching offensive snaps. Here's my count. 

 

Bortles - out of 39 attempts had a "clean-ish" pocket 8 times by my count. 

 

 3 of those were looking throw intermediate or deep. (not a designed quick pass) 

 

The other 5 were quick passes in which he was not hurried/pressured. That should be a higher number. 

 

 We know they weren't looking deep on the majority of the 31 remaining attempts - so we know that Bortles was frequently hurried or pressured on 3 step drop/ quick pass plays.  More than 20 of them.  That's not good. He did complete a few of these, and that bodes well, but this offense would be much more productive with better pass pro. 

 

 

There were many short pass attempts in which he was throwing off the back foot of the third step in his drop, or throwing awkwardly as he side-stepped pressure or throwing on the run trying to elude pressure. That stuff has to improve.
