Jacksonville Jaguars want Blake Bortles to keep running

Jacksonville Jaguars offensive co-ordinator Greg Olson has insisted that he will continue to encourage quarterback Blake Bortles to use his feet.

Bortles will be encouraged to extend plays on the ground as part of the team's revised scheme for next season as Jacksonville believe that it is one of his key strengths.

"When a play does break down protection-wise and you have a guy that can go get yards, you don't want to discourage it," Olson told the Florida Times-Union. "There is a time to make something to happen with your feet. For other quarterbacks, that's not part of their makeup. That's a strength of Blake's and we want him to continue to utilise that."

Olson also targeted improvement in Bortles's play in the pocket which will require the Jaguars to cut down on a franchise-worst 71 sacks during last season.
