Two things I have been noticing in Bortles picks are the corners are sitting on the curls and comeback routes.  In both of these TD's that Bucky Brooks uses the corners bit hard on the fakes.  I wish they would incorporate more of this with a Bortles pump fake to prevent the corners from jumping these types of routes.  

 

"When the corner pauses to jump the quick out, Bortles delivers a perfect pass to Robinson for a 15-yard score"



 

"In the play below, from 

the Week 9 matchup
 with the 

Jets
, the 

Jaguars
 maximize Hurns' route-running skills by featuring him on a "sluggo" route (slant-and-go) against 

Antonio Cromartie
. Hurns runs a hard three-step slant, then peeks inside to sell the move before exploding down the boundary on the go. Cromartie bites hard, allowing Hurns to slip past him for a 30-yard touchdown"

Astute observation.

 

Thinking back to last year, many of his INTs come on short sideline routes.

 

His pick 6 against the Steelers was one of those routes, as was the pick 6 this year against Carolina.

 

I think part of that is a result of trying to do too much.  That pick against Baltimore he held the ball seemingly forever.

 

But to me, even though he is taking his lumps, he is performing well overall.  I am quite pleased with his progress as a 2nd year QB.
