Jaguars ready for a new season

Bortles ready for a new beginning

After leading the league in interceptions last season, the Jacksonville Jaguars are confident that Blake Bortles will not lead in that category this season.  His work in the offseason has paid off as Bortles was named a team captain for offense which shows the trust the coaching staff has in his ability along with defensive team captain Paul Posluszny and special teams team captain Carson Tinker.

“three great picks. Those guys are well-deserving.,” Head Coach Gus Bradley said.

jaguars-2“Blake has really been self-improving,” general manager Dave Caldwell said. “He’s taken the bull by the horns in terms of how he goes about his business.  Hopefully, Blake will continue to improve and build. But he’s in a good stage in his development. And make no mistake, he’s still developing.”

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are coming into the game as favorites and under Mike McCarthy and Rodgers, the offense has been a work of art while Clay Matthews anchors a defense that ranked 12th last year…look for both to improve this season.

Jags lose first preseason game

Bortles looks sharp in Opener

Blake Bortles took what he was given and didn’t force anything.  He finished 6/7 for 105 yards in a 13-17 loss to the New York Jets. Receiver Allen Robinson caught three passes for 80 yards and Chris Ivory and T.J. Yeldon combined to rush for 52 rushing yards and one touchdown on 10 carries.

“We want to come out and be sharp with our operation in and out of the huddle, no mental errors, lining up correctly, shifts and motions, and all that,” quarterback Blake Bortles said. “And obviously take care of the ball. I thought for the most part it was good.”

The Jaguars will look to collect their first win next week when they face Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home next weekend.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are available so be sure to grab yours today and help cheer on your Jaguars!

Bortles absorbing OC Greg Olson’s scheme

Sophomore QB looks to be the Franchise Leader

Second year quarterback Blake Bortles spent most of his off season learning new offensive coordinator Greg Olson’s offensive scheme.  For Bortles, the difference between last and this year is simple.

“Last year, I’m pulling in trying to figure out where to park,” Bortles said with a laugh Monday shortly after he spoke with the media at EverBank Field. “This year, you come in and it’s different. You know the ropes and you know how everything goes. Now, you have to worry about taking care of your body and learning the offense.”

The team will look to him to be the leader that they envisioned when they drafted him.

“As a quarterback, it’s part of the job title and it comes with the position,” he said. “This off-season was big to develop a routine and a system on how to do certain things – how to take care of my body, how to continue to watching film, how to learn. The more time you spend with the guys, the more you can lead.”

The Jags open the preseason at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today and cheer on your Jackson Jaguars!
