Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New England Patriots: They turned Blake Bortles loose The Jacksonville Jaguars were without Leonard Fournette. Instead of going run heavy and letting T.J. Yeldon
http://www.jaguarsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dede-westbrook-jersey , Corey Grant, and newly promoted Brandon Wilder from the practice squad run down the New England Patriots defense, they went to Blake Bortles.That’s right — they pulled up the anchor on the BOAT and called 51 plays that kept the ball in Blake’s hands, 45 of which were pass attempts.Rarely do the Jaguars win if Blake is throwing that many passes. But they did on Sunday. They won by a lot. Not so much on the final score — although an 11-point beatdown against Tom Brady and Bill Belichick is a big deal — but in the way they dominated every facet of the Patriots game.The Jaguars took what they wanted and Blake was in control — which is perfectly demonstrated on the drive right before halftime when the Jaguars had 75 yards to go for a touchdown and just under three minutes to get there.That drive is what we’ll be diving into this week as we break down the drive of the game for Week 2.Play #1: 1st and 10 at JAX 25The Patriots are playing the softest of zones and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett is going to take advantage, getting the offense going with an easy 11 yards and the clock stopped.Play #2: 1st and 10 at JAX 36The Patriots send five rushers and the Jaguars can’t pick it up with five blockers. This was most likely going to Austin Seferian-Jenkins who crosses over the middle about 10 yards downfield, but Blake has to tuck and run, getting three yards in the process.Play #3: 2nd and 7 at JAX 39I don’t know about this pass over the middle to Keelan Cole — defenders in front of and behind him. If this is picked, it’s a short field for Brady with just under two minutes to go in the half.Play #4: 3rd and 7 at JAX 39The Patriots brought the house on this play — seven rushers for just six blockers — and Seferian-Jenkins and Bortles make a hell of a play. Bortles throws into a mad pass rush and Seferian-Jenkins doing whatever he needs to to haul that pass in.Play #5: 1st and 10 at JAX 47A drop from Dede Westbrook but it’s a bad pass too. I think the stutter step getting around Patriots linebacker Dont’a Hightower (No. 54) causes a challenge for both Blake and Dede.Play #6: 2nd and 10 at JAX 47The Patriots are playing their safety like a center fielder and putting him 15 yards away from the line of scrimmage. He’s there to make sure nothing goes deep, but he’s too far away to be of any help in covering Cole who finds the soft spot and gets 17 yards on the catch.Play #7: 1st and 10 at NE 36The entire time I was watching this live I just wanted Blake to throw the ball away. Blake throwing off his back foot is bad news
http://www.jaguarsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-malik-jackson-jersey , y’all. Wisely, he threw it away.Play #8: 2nd and 10 at NE 36Cole was finding gaps in the Patriots secondary all damn day and this drive is a perfect example of it. In all he got two catches for 31 yards on three targets on this possession alone.Play #9: 1st and 10 at NE 22The Jaguars tried the wheel route at the end of the second half of the AFC Championship Game and were unsuccessful then too. Whereas then it looked like Leonard Fournette, who was the intended receiver, was the intended target in that game, Corey Grant looks like Blake’s second or third read.Play #10: 2nd and 10 at NE 22Westbrook gets his first catch of the drive on this one, getting separation and taking advantage of the fact that the defender who should have been covering him had his eyes on Blake.Play #11: 1st and 10 at NE 11This is the first run of the entire drive (not surprising) and it gets the Jaguars close enough for at least two tries into the end zone. Just watch the push the interior of this offensive line gets through the play — Andrew Norwell, Brandon Linder, and A.J. Cann are just straight bullying people.Play #12: 2nd and 3 at NE 4This looks like some miscommunication between rookie DJ Chark and Bortles. Chark wasn’t ready for the fade where Blake threw it.Play #13: 3rd and 3 at NE 4Watch the pick that Westbrook sets up so that Seferian-Jenkins can run free. It’s not pass interference, it’s a legal pick play that the New York Giants used quite a bit against us in Week 1 and that the Jaguars used quite a bit last season. Hopefully we see more of it.SummaryIn all

Unlike last year’s AFC Championship, when the team should have leaned more on Blake when he was doing well, the Jaguars let Blake continue to air it out even when up two or three scores.Let’s hope that continues — both the staff giving the keys to this offense to Blake and Blake being deserving of it week in and week out. American investor Shahid Khan's 600 million pound ($785 million) offer to buy Wembley Stadium survived a meeting of the Football Association's board without being rejected on Thursday.A decision was taken by the board of English soccer's governing body to take a presentation on the terms of the sale to the larger FA Council , which features representatives from across the English game and next meets on Oct. 11.The FA's chairman and chief executive want to sell Wembley to Khan, who owns the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars and Premier League team Fulham, to raise funds for footballing facilities across England.The FA has agreed to put the proceeds of any deal into a trust but some Council members, including former Premier League chairman Dave Richards, have questioned why Wembley needs to be sold only 11 years after the rebuilt national soccer stadium reopened. Former England player and assistant coach Gary Neville said the cash for grassroots infrastructure could be raised from wealthy Premier League clubs or by taking a cut of agents' fees on transfers.Even if the FA Council and board approves the sale, the government would have to sign off on the deal because it provided some of the 120 million pounds in public funding for the 757 million pound rebuilding project in north London.The takeover agreement includes provisions to ensure the stadium remains a top-level soccer venue available for cup finals and England games

"One cannot ask for more as we continue to work through the process with the FA board

http://www.jaguarsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-a.j.-bouye-jersey ," Khan said of his proposed Wembley takeover. "In Jacksonville, our footing as a small market NFL franchise will be significantly strengthened by the new local revenue streams we will be able to count on well into the future."Wembley, which staged its first event in 1923, was in private ownership until the FA raised the funds to buy the site and redevelop the stadium before the 2007 re-opening.
