After watching Jacksonville's week 1 preseason game against the Jets, I came away very impressed with Blake Bortles development. Yeah it's preseason but he no longer looks like a greenhorn running his offense.
Allen Robinson continues to be a stud. Allen Hurns continues to be better than people think he is.
The big surprise for me was that Chris Ivory still looks like Chris Ivory. I think he's clearly going to be their bellcow based on what I saw from him. If he stays healthy I could see him reproducing his 2015 numbers with the Jets.
The OL looked solid, though it's tough to judge the OL in the preseason.
The only disappointment was Julius Thomas, who hasn't really been the same since leaving Denver and has continued to underwhelm in the preseason.
Overall though, Jacksonville had the look of a top 10 offense. Their defense doesn't seem all that improved, but it's preseason.
I haven't watched the week 2 game but Jacksonville's starters on offense kicked butt in that game too. Bortles is now 14/18 for 190 yards and 2 TD against 0 INT. He's taken just 1 sack. Elite numbers.
Yeah yeah it's preseason, but based on what I've seen, all the people banking on Bortles to have a backsliding season in 2016 are about to be in for a rude awakening.
