Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback A.J. Bouye has noticed a difference in this year’s offseason practices and he put it squarely on the quarterback.
When talking about practicing pass defense, Bouye said it’s easier to make the play on a ball thrown by a bad quarterback compared to one who is not bad.
#Jaguars CB A.J. Bouye says he notices plays in practice that he would have made in previous years that he hasn’t this year because QB Nick Foles puts the ball in the right spot so consistently.

Science.
No one has said anything publicly, but I can imagine there are many players on this team — especially on the defense — happy that the team upgraded at quarterback over the offseason. I’m just sad it took us five years of Blake Bortles to get to this point.
