Quote:My issue is that they are saying they are going to send him out of the huddle and "encourage" him not to check the play.  Translation: Don't check out of this play.

 

This has nothing to do with Bortles admitting he shouldn't have checked out of the play.  He should be encouraged to make the right read, whatever it is.  Check a run to a pass, check a pass to a run, or don't check at all. 

You're reading way to far in to this and applying conditions that likely don't exist.  

 

First of all - Bradley praised Bortles ability to check out of plays and said he got 5 of them right.  He also said there were "two or three run plays" (paraphrased from memory) that they might encourage him not to check out of.  You don't really believe that they'd sit him down in a meeting room and say "if we call one of these 3 plays, don't check out no matter what" do you??   No way in hell they'd do that. They'll define what defensive looks demand checking out and try to make sure he doesn't do it unnecessarily.
