JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles expects to see a noticeable difference when he plays at Kansas City on Sunday.Bortles spent two days working with a mechanics coach this week, focusing on better footwork that he hopes will shorten his delivery and tighten his throwing motion. Bortles said Friday that two days isnt going to fix anything, but he added that the refresher course should pay dividends right away.I would hope so, he said. I guess well find out on Sunday. ... I feel good. I think that Sunday will be a good test. Im excited for it.Not only did Bortles spend time tweaking his mechanics, he also had to get acclimated to new offensive coordinator Nate Hackett. The Jaguars fired Greg Olson last week, two days after an embarrassing loss at Tennessee , and promoted Hackett to fill the void.The Jaguars (2-5) have seemingly responded well to the change, with some players expressing relief about the transition.It was good, Bortles said. I thought guys were fired up. I think Nathaniels done a really good job and kind of being a spark plug, getting the offense going. Hes obviously done a really good job with the plan, putting it together, and then getting everybody to buy into it and making sure everybody has an understanding of what were doing and why were doing it.Under Hackett, Jacksonville expects to be more committed to running the ball. That, in turn, could help Bortles, especially if his mechanics improve and allow him to be more accurate.Bortles old habits -- the ones that plagued him as a rookie in 2014 -- resurfaced during training camp, but the third-year pro initially thought he could work through them. He even spent a half hour a day practicing his form in front of a mirror.When it became clear he wasnt making progress, Bortles decided to get help. So he called Adam Dedeaux, an instructor at 3DQB in Los Angeles. Dedeaux and partner Tom House have helped Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Tim Tebow and other NFL quarterbacks in recent years. Bortles has spent time with them, too, but he normally does it during the offseason.It was big, Bortles said. You talk about feel and trying to create muscle memory and obviously its hard to do that stuff in the middle of the season when youre trying to game plan and get ready for a game on Sunday. But it was good. I think he did a good job. Hes a huge help so it was good to have him here.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Kobe Bryant Shoes .

The 43-year-old closer, in his 19th and final big league season, has said hed like to play the outfield. Yankees manager Joe Girardi says hes thinking about allowing Rivera to do it this weekend, when the Yankees finish their season with a three-game series at the Houston Astros. CHICAGO -- Ariel Miranda remembered faring better against White Sox slugger Jose Abreu when they met in their native Cuba.Abreu homered in his first at-bat against the Seattle Mariners left-hander, and Chicagos rout was on.Abreu hit the first of four White Sox home runs and Jose Quintana threw 7 2/3 solid innings to lead Chicago past the Mariners 9-3 on Saturday night.I was trying to get ahead in the count and I couldnt do it, so I fell behind in the count and I had to throw the ball down the middle and he made him pay for it, Miranda said through an interpreter.Miranda said he faced Abreu four or five times before.Today was a different story, Miranda said.Avisail Garcia and Alex Avila hit consecutive homers during a four-run fifth and Tyler Saladino added a two-run shot in the seventh, all off struggling reliever Vidal Nuno.Abreu extended his hitting streak to 10 games and his on-base streak to 23 with a solo shot during a two-run first against Miranda (1-1).The left-handed Miranda pitched four innings, allowing three runs and five hits while throwing just 47 of 90 pitches for strikes.The biggest thing was fastball command, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Thats his pitch. Hes got to get them on the fastball before his secondary stuff plays into that, so he struggled to get going. All of the outings hed had for us, tonight was probably his worst one.Quintana (11-9) allowed two runs -- one earned -- and five hits, struck out eight and lowered his ERA to 2.77 in Chicagos fifth win in seven games.His fastball command is always pretty, White Sox catcher Alex Avila said. You never have to worry about that. Its always there.After a hot August start that got them into playoff contention, the Mariners have lost four of five.Quintana allowed a leadoff double to Leonys Martin in the first, and he scored an unearned run thanks to Avilas passed ball. But Avila made up for it in his first game off the disabled list with a solo shot in the fifth.Left fielder Melky Cabrera, back after missing two games withh an illness, added a first-inning sacrifice fly and threw out Robinson Cano trying to stretch a single to help squash Seattles best rally off Quintana.ddddddddddddJustin Morneaus first triple of the season in the fifth scored Todd Frazier. Garcia followed with a two-run shot off Nuno. Garcia also doubled twice.(We were) hoping Nuno could kind of bridge the gap there, Servais said. Got the two quick outs then run into a buzzsaw, four or five straight hits, and before you know it we were kind of out of the game.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: 3B Kyle Seager went 1 for 4 after missing three games with a bruised right foot. Seagers return, along with an upcoming schedule heavy with left-handed opposing pitchers, led Seattle to option OF Norichika Aoki to Triple-A Tacoma. ... Servais said RHP Tom Wilhelmsen (back spasms) was not crazy about going on the disabled list. We really dont have time where were at in the bullpen right now to give him five or six days, Servais said.OOPSSeattles Chris Iannetta took ball three, tossed his bat and jogged all the way to first in the fifth before realizing he didnt walk. Quintana struck him out on the next pitch.NEW FACESAmbidextrous pitcher Pat Venditte, a reliever acquired from Toronto this month, joined Seattle with his special glove after a stint in Triple-A.Splits have said Im a little bit better from the left side, Venditte said. So I would imagine thats how Ill be used here.Also arriving in a flurry of moves were INF Dae-Ho Lee from Tacoma and reliever Dan Altavilla, who was wide-eyed after getting called up from Double-A Jackson.Altavilla hit 100 mph in a perfect eighth and struck out Frazier in his major league debut.My family in the stands just going crazy, it was tough to hold back my emotions there, Altavilla said.UP NEXTSeattle RHP Taijuan Walker (4-8, 4.14 ERA) faces LHP Carlos Rodon (4-8, 4.02) to close the four-game series Sunday.
