Gus on Bortles performance vs Patriots: 

 

""On offense, sometimes we take the simple things and make them more difficult than what they need to be,” Bradley said, per the team's official website. “That’s where we’re at now offensively.” 

<p style="color:rgb(89,89,89);font-family:'Antenna Medium';font-size:16px;">Specifically, Bradley pointed to the second-year quarterback forcing the issue by trying getting the tight end involved, as opposed to reading what the defense was giving him.

<p style="color:rgb(89,89,89);font-family:'Antenna Medium';font-size:16px;">“The lessons I think he’s learning right now are to say, ‘Although we make an emphasis (to) try to get the tight ends involved and take pressure off the offense you’ve still got to follow through with the progression,’” Bradley said.

<p style="color:rgb(89,89,89);font-family:'Antenna Medium';font-size:16px;">“He needs not to make it as complicated as he wants to make it. Some of the reads, he’s just got to trust his progression.”

<p style="color:rgb(89,89,89);font-family:'Antenna Medium';font-size:16px;">Bortles took responsibility for the turnover after the game.

<p style="color:rgb(89,89,89);font-family:'Antenna Medium';font-size:16px;">“The last thing you can have in that situation is a turnover,” Bortles said. “Bad play, bad throw. I had Marcedes running down with a linebacker trailing him and I just missed him. It was a bad throw, and you really can’t have that.”
