JACKSONVILLE Logan Cooke Color Rush Jersey , Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars are sticking with Blake Bortles as their starting quarterback.Coach Doug Marrone made the announcement Monday, one day after benching Bortles early in the third quarter of a 20-7 loss to Houston.“I spoke to both quarterbacks this afternoon and told them Blake will be our team’s starting quarterback,” Marrone said in a statement. “I believe this gives us the best opportunity to win.”Bortles fumbled on Jacksonville’s third play in each half, leading to 10 points for the Texans and prompting Marrone to switch to Cody Kessler. Marrone said after the game he would open up the QB job for the second time in as many years. He also benched Bortles in the 2017 preseason, only to give him back the job nine days later.Marrone took less than 24 hours to go back to Bortles this time, saying he will start Sunday’s game against Philadelphia (3-4) in London.The Jaguars (3-4) have lost three in a row and four of five, derailing a season that started with Super Bowl aspirations.Jacksonville seemingly reached a low point Sunday when the locker room erupted in fiery emotion following a third consecutive lopsided loss in which the offense failed to score in the first half. Calais Campbell was seen holding back fellow defensive end Yannick Ngakoue when the locker room briefly opened to the media. It was the final scene of frustration that also included screaming, shouting and finger pointing.Campbell, an 11-year veteran and one of six team captains, called a players-only meetings Monday to “talk about some issues.”“Will it help?” defensive tackle Malik Jackson said. “Hopefully so. Hopefully guys will speak up and not be silent, hopefully talk about some issues that they feel are bothering them.”The Jaguars have been mostly inept on both sides of the ball during the losing streak, trailing 23-0 at Kansas City, 24-0 at Dallas and 20-0 at home against the Texans.The injury-riddled offense can’t do what it’s built to do — run the football — and has a lackluster receiving corps dropping balls at inopportune times. The high-profile defense can’t stop the run and has allowed too many big plays.“People are strained Andrew Norwell Jersey ,” Jackson said. “This is a business about producing, about winning, and we’re not producing or winning right now. This locker room is not going to tear apart for a few losses. Hell, we went 3-13 our first year here.”The expectations were much higher after advancing to the AFC title game in January, which is why the locker room started to crack and crumble.“You can’t have little groups or little indecision of what is the right way or the proper way. You have to get everyone in the same boat,” Marrone said, pointing out the team is minus-12 in turnover differential. “We have done this to ourselves, and the only people going to be able to dig us out of it is ourselves. But we all have to have the same vision on how to do it.“My thing to the team is we can go in all of these different directions, but if these two things do not change, those two things do not change, those directions aren’t going to matter.”Bortles was the scapegoat Sunday, with Marrone making the move to “put everyone on notice.”Bortles completed 6 of 12 passes for 61 yards, fumbling twice on third-down scrambles.Kessler came off the bench and had a short touchdown pass to T.J. Yeldon https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Austin-Seferian-Jenkins-Jersey , but he was sacked four times in five drives, plus threw an interception and fumbled.It’s really not that surprising Marrone stuck with Bortles. The team signed him to a three-year, $54 million contract in February with the belief he was good enough to lead the defensive-minded team back to the playoffs.Bortles played turnover-free football in the postseason, gaining top executive Tom Coughlin’s confidence and landing the new contract. He’s played with far less efficiency lately, managing two TD passes and eight turnovers in the three straight losses.NOTES: The Jaguars released veteran running back Jamaal Charles three days after acquiring Carlos Hyde from Cleveland. Hyde is expected to play a significant role against the Eagles. … Marrone said injured RB Leonard Fournette (hamstring) will travel to London. The Jacksonville Jaguars made multiple roster moves on Friday afternoon, activating linebacker Donald Payne from the team’s reserve/injured list and promoting fullback Dimitri Flowers and quarterback Tanner Lee to the active roster from the club’s practice squad. To make room on the 53-man roster, the Jaguars placed kicker Josh Lambo and offensive lineman Josh Wells on the reserve/injured list and waived linebacker Martrell Spaight.Payne is a second-year linebacker who appeared in seven games this season before going on the reserve/injured list with a knee injury on October 25. Payne is the Jaguars’ second and final player to be “designated for return” from the reserve/injured list. Payne has appeared in 20 career games and has totaled 14 special teams tackles. Payne will wear No. 52 for the Jaguars.Flowers played collegiately at Oklahoma from 2014 through 2017 and appeared in 53 games with 32 starts, totaling 151 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 36 carries (4.2 rush average) and 886 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns on 54 catches (16.4 receiving average). After going undrafted, Flowers spent time with the New York Jets before a one-day stint on the Jaguars’ practice squad in October. Flowers is the son of former first-round (2000 NFL Draft) DE Erik Flowers, and his cousin, Tre Flowers, plays cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks. Flowers, who wears No. 35 for the Jaguars Niles Paul Color Rush Jersey , has yet to appear in an NFL game.Lee was selected by the Jaguars in the sixth round (203rd overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft, and has spent the entire 2018 season on the team’s practice squad. He spent two seasons at Tulane before transferring to Nebraska and starting all 12 games in 2017. In his final collegiate season, Lee completed 246 of 428 passes (57.5 completion percentage) for 3,143 yards, 23 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Lee threw for 200-plus yards in 10 of 12 games in 2017 and his 23 passing touchdowns ranked third in the school’s single-season history. Overall, including his two seasons with Tulane, he appeared in 31 career games in college and threw for 6,744 yards, 46 touchdowns and 27 interceptions on 574 of 1,040 passing (55.2 completion percentage). Lee, who wears No. 3 for the Jaguars, has yet to appear in an NFL game. The Jaguars now have 53 players on their active roster |
