‘Instant Replay’: breakdown of Jets-Jaguars game
He has also thrown for at least two touchdowns in each of his last four games and six times in eight games overall this season after posting just two multi-touchdown games last season.
“Everyone thinks that we have to be consistent when healthy to play in this league”, Marshall said. “I’ll throw to them”.
“I’ve got to get rid of the ball or take off and run or do something”, Bortles said of the turnover. The standard for us will not change. We refuse to get discouraged and we play that way.
Well, this game could have huge playoff implications down the line, especially when it comes to the head-on-head match-ups.
If the Jaguars are in these “one possession” games, what’s keeping them from winning more? “It doesn’t matter how it looks, how it feels to win”. It was the second straight week in which Cromartie was beaten for a long touchdown pass (Raiders wide receiver Andre Holmes victimized Cromartie on a 49-yard score last Sunday). “Any time you win, you’re fortunate”.
“I love the spirit of our team”, Bradley said Monday. Gus said, echoing the message he gave to his team. I think at critical times in the game, offensively, we have to make plays.
-PK Nick Folk (right quad strain) was limited to place-holding duties Sunday after getting hurt during warm-ups prior to the Jets’ 28-23 win over the Jaguars.
Then on the Jaguars’ next drive, Marcus Williams intercepted a Blake Bortles pass, snagging a ball that was popped up by a deflection made by Darrelle Revis. Usually he’s decisive in the pocket but against the Jets, indecision led to a sack, a fumble and a turnover.
You may not have enjoyed the Jaguars performance on Sunday but Bradley was happy with what he saw from most of his players. He’s done that throughout the game. You couldn’t play football on a broken femur. The guys that we teach over and over and bring value to the team and play a high level. That’s not a good thing for now, but taking his lumps still might help him make better decisions in the future.
On the season, the Jacksonville Jaguars average 246.1 yards in passing and 96.6 yards in rushing.
“I’m here to come out here and listen to the coach and whatever position he feels I need to be at, on that certain down or that certain play, I’m going to go out there and get it done”, Williams said. That’s got to stop, obviously.
“The good thing about our offensive line is that every single one of us is always ready to play and we have a lot of depth”, the second-year player said. Wide receiver Jeremy Kerley (9.0 yards per return on 23 returns) has been his usual non-exciting self on punt returns. Whatever it is, the pattern is they know how to blow a game. Took his eye off of it, first foot, second. He’s willing to put up with a few early mistakes but they can’t make the same ones over and over. The Jets also gave up a 45-yard run to running back T.J. Yeldon in the fourth quarter. NY did not turn the ball over.
