Quote:The Buffalo game showed us that Blake's natural ability doesn't come from being a pure pocket passer.  Hackett's letting him run more, and I think that's a great thing.  It doesn't excuse his poor mechanics or accuracy, which definitely need to be fixed.  But maybe we haven't been using him properly. 

 

  One of many challenges for Blake Bortles and the Jaguars coaches is going to be adjusting to opposing Defenses very likely being more aware of what Bortles can do as a runner and preparing accordingly.  

 

   For Bortles to be successful long term,  there's no question his mechanics and accuracy are going to have to be much better than they have been most of this season.   If I'm in the position of Wade Phillips,  Mike Zimmer,  and other coaches responsible for preparing to defend the Jaguars Offense the remainder of this season,  there's no way Bortles is going to win with his legs outside the pocket.
