Quote:1st down- run up the middle, 2 yds.

2nd down- pass dropped by Lewis.

3rd down- protection crumbles, pass knocked down at line of scrimmage.

50 yard punt by Anger, 15 yd return.

 

What happened in the past:

1st down - 7 yard run out side

2nd down - run stuffed, loss on the play 

3rd down - pass dropped by Lewis

4th down -  62 yard punt by Anger returned 25 yards (out punted coverage)

 

What I would love to see:

1st down - 8 yard pass back shoulder out route

2nd down - out side run that nearly breaks a big gain, but gains 1 yard

3rd down - short yardage, 22 personnel against a 9 man front, AR15 or JT80 in single coverage (mismatch) catches an intermediate route for 15 yards and takes it another 10

 

Oh yeah, more passes on first down, runs on second or to set up the play action & motion on short yardage situations, 3rd down (if it happens) play action/motion or use our 3rd down warriors like AR15/JT80 to break the defense with matchups or Yeldon to get the yardage.  Rinse and repeat, keeping the defense on their toes.

 

Play action really works if there is a threat of successful running.  Bortles can most definitely be a one read quarterback and if he doesn't see it break the pocket if he needs to and improvise.  Keeping a spy or or 9th man in the box will give him open second and third reads which I believe he can translate into big gains.

 

Last but not least, two scoring drives led by Bortles in his first 3 possessions.  10 points would be great, then he can let Henne come in.
