The Jacksonville Jaguars 2018 training camp and preseason feels a lot different than last year. The team is coming in with actual expectations this offseason Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys Stitched , compared to last year where most people were just praying they’d win more than three games. One of the biggest changes to last year is quarterback Blake Bortles has a firm grasp on the starting quarterback position and hasn’t come close to putting anyone in panic mode with his play.This time last year, Bortles was benched in favor of giving Chad Henne a shot at starting and there was wide belief it was possible Bortles wouldn’t even be on the opening day roster.“Yes. It feels good to not get benched this week. That is a positive,” Bortles said when asked if he was appreciative of how different this offseason has been compared to last. “I didn’t play good and what happens at that level is that if you don’t play good, they are going to find someone that can play. I think just continuing to try and do whatever I can to help us as an offense move the ball, pick up yards, pick up first downs Ryquell Armstead Jersey 2019 , score touchdowns, put up points and most importantly take care of it and not turn it over. I think as long as I am able to continue to do that for our offense, I think we will be in good shape.”Bortles ended up getting the starting job back in part because Henne failed to capitalize and in part because of Bortles versatility as a playmaker with his feet. The latter came in handy a few times last year, namely against the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs and showed up in this past Saturday’s preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings. “I think we did some good stuff. The first series was slow. The second series I obviously threw the pick and then we bounced back,” Bortles said of how he thought he played against the Vikings. “We were playing a really good defense and a 10-12-play drive together and went on the field and scored. I thought that was good to be able to bounce back from that as a team and overcome that adversity, put the defense on the field Cheap Ryquell Armstead Jersey , they get a turnover, give us a chance and we go capitalize and go get 7. I thought that was good. There is always stuff to clean up. It is still Week 2 in the preseason going into Week 3, so we still have a little bit of time to get ready to go. I think we are definitely headed in the right direction.”Bortles preseason this season so far has been pretty steady. While I wouldn’t classify his game as “good” against the Vikings, considering the defense he was going up against it was fine. It was a follow up to a good game against the New Orleans Saints in Week 1 where the offense marched right down the field on the opening drive and scored a touchdown.In Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons, Bortles has a chance to likely finish out the preseason strong. If he can go out and put together a couple of drives against the Falcons defense, score some touchdowns and not turn the football over Mens Ryquell Armstead Jersey , it might squash some of the ridiculous “trade for Bridgewater” talk that the national media has latched on to.Probably not, though.

Blake Bortles was an unmitigated disaster but this team spent big in free agency and the draft the last few seasons to beef up their offensive line. The result? They went from first in total rushing yards last year all the way down to 19th this year.And their bell-cow running back — specifically his missed time due to injury — is a huge reason why.In addition to season-ending injuries to three of their five starting offensive linemen, Fournette has missed seven games this season due to injury and suspension. He’s gained just 396 yards on 115 carries on the season — a disappointing 3.4 yards per carry — and just four touchdowns. In a confusing move by the Jaguars coaching staff Youth A.J. Bouye Jerseys , Fournette got just one carry in the second half of last Sunday’s loss to Washington. Well, it was confusing until we heard from Fournette himself yesterday.“I could be in better shape,” Fournette said, according to Phillip Heilman of the Florida Times-Union. “I’m fine, though.”Fat chance the Jaguars offense gets back into gear with head coach Doug Marrone giving backup running back Dave Williams more chances as the season winds down, so Fournette will have to look towards 2019 for redemption.
