Allen Robinson: Jacksonville Jaguars WR tells Blake Bortles to keep throw in bounds

Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Wide receiver Allen Robinson was not happy with a Blake Bortles throw Tuesday at Jacksonville Jaguars camp.

The quarterback tossed a ball deep to his right during the joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Robinson lined up against cornerback Robert McClain on the play.

The Jaguars receiver sprinted to McLain's left before looking up for the pass. The ball sailed over both of their heads and toward the crowd. Robinson ran over a man standing nearby. When he got up he clearly said: "You gotta keep that [expletive] in bounds, bro," according to Pewter Report.

Bortles, 25, is entering his fourth NFL season. He had 11 touchdowns his rookie year and 35 passing scores in 2015. In 2016, he threw for 23 scores against 16 interceptions. He has never completed more than 58.9 percent of his throws in a season.

After drafting LSU star running back Leonard Fournette with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Jaguars coach Doug Marrone has pledged an extreme dedication to the run, which will limit Bortles' attempts this season. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft has had a rough camp.

"You know, I thought it was good," Bortles told reporters regarding Tuesday's practice. "It was good and bad. Good situational stuff to learn from. I think anytime we get to go against another team, against a different opponent, those are good reps because it's different things we wouldn't necessarily see going against our defense. So it's good going against someone who's tough, see some coverages more like some of the coverages we'll see during the season, so I think it's really good work."

Marrone said that his defense is a "bit more ahead" of his offense.

"I think when anyone asks me about someone's ability, and a lot of times that comes with the quarterback, they are always like 'Hey, where are you? How did his week go? Are you happy with him?' I think for me personally, I'm always trying to get more, so for me I'm one of those guys that it's hard for me to say," Marrone told reporters.

"There are some throws that I'll think, 'Hey, that's a good throw,' and then I'll be like, 'That's a horse [expletive] throw.' At the end of the day, I'm just trying to get more and get better. So we rested him the other day. I thought he came back and really had no issues for these two days. That was the goal was to get him out here and get him all that work. I think he's gotten good work, and I think that him along with the rest of the guys on offense, I want those guys to get better. Defensively we're probably a little bit more ahead right now."

Bortles is due $3.2 million this season in the fourth year of his rookie deal. He had his 2018 club option picked up in May by the Jaguars.
