Blake Bortles: A Play By Play Analysis
By Zoltan Paksa
2nd drive – Starting from the Jaguars’ 18:
Play 1: Arguably the best play of the game. Broken play, but Bortles avoiding the pressure on a naked bootleg. Throws on the run with precision for Ta’ufo’ou for a 26 yard gain.
Play 2: Play-action, 20 yard scamble. The kid can run.
Play 3: Forces the ball to the corner route. Bad decision, the TE is wide open. The Colts using strong side safety blitz, Bortles should have recognize it and made use of it.
Play 4: Just like the last time, only difference is the pressure coming from a LB. Bortles should have gone to the comeback route. Almost threw a pick again.
Conclusion of the 2nd drive: Bortles is on his best when the play brakes down – Often forces the ball.
