<\/a><\/p>\nThe Dolphins start off with a 2 safety look, but when Quincy Enunwa goes in motion, the second safety is moving up towards the line of scrimmage to cover him. \u00a0However, at the snap of the football, he is still a few yards away from the line of scrimmage, so Enunwa is open for the pass here. \u00a0However, Fitzpatrick start off the afternoon with a pass aimed directly at the 30 yard line marker. \u00a0Quincy Enunwa has no chance at this play, and it falls for an incomplete pass. \u00a0This is a good read by Fitzpatrick, because the pre-snap read did indicate that Enunwa had the best chance to be open, but it’s a ridiculous throw.<\/p>\n
2)<\/strong>\u00a0 Robby Anderson is wide open for this TD pass. \u00a0There are QB in high school that could complete this pass for a TD. \u00a0Fitzpatrick absolutely misses this pass and it’s not even close. \u00a0The ball is thrown over the wrong shoulder and doesn’t land close to Anderson. \u00a0One of the worst deep passes you will see from an NFL QB, who actually has a wide open receiver. \u00a0This should be seven points on the board, but it goes for naught. \u00a0There is nothing else that needs to be said about this pass, it’s just flat out horrible. \u00a0Robby Anderson shows a good move at the line and notice the slight move to the outside when the CB turns around before Anderson heads inside. \u00a0This slight move throws off the defender even more, allowing the free release downfield. \u00a0It’s a shame this wasn’t completed.<\/p>\n 3)<\/strong>\u00a0 Brandon Marshall is open for the TD, but Ryan Fitzpatrick gets distracted by the cameramen in the background. \u00a0Another horrible throw in what should have been a TD. \u00a0The Dolphins are double teaming Marshall on this play, with the LB covering the inside and the CB covering the outside. \u00a0However, it’s a bad coverage situation by the LB, leaving a wide open lane for Fitzpatrick to throw to Marshall, but it’s just a horrible throw. \u00a0 While no one accuses Ryan Fitzpatrick of being a franchise QB, failures on these types of plays really set him back.<\/p>\n 4)<\/strong>\u00a0 The Jets have three receivers to the right of the formation on this play, and the Dolphins bring pressure. \u00a0Fitzpatrick has three choices to pick from on his play, and he goes for the absolute worst option. \u00a0Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Robby Anderson have better positions on their defender, but Fitzpatrick is locked into Quincy Enunwa on this play. \u00a0The Jets have called this play before in the red zone this year, but Fitzpatrick has to do a better job of reading the defense and going through his progressions. \u00a0He failed to move on from his initial read, and it ends up in another incomplete pass. \u00a0This is the type of situations for Seferian-Jenkins because he has inside position on his defender and he can use his body to prevent them from swatting the ball. \u00a0 Just another failure by Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n 5)<\/strong>\u00a0 This is the classic example of Fitzpatrick failing to move from his first read. \u00a0This is a 3rd and 1 play where they motion out for an empty set. \u00a0 The Dolphins are playing press coverage with a single high safety. \u00a0They bring a blitz, but the pocket is well protected on this play, and Matt Forte is well covered on this play. \u00a0The chances of this pass being completed is about 5% from the time Fitzpatrick decides to throw this pass. \u00a0This is just a horrible decision when he had much more time to scan the field. \u00a0Had he scanned the field, he would have noticed that Brandon Bostick was wide open for an easy conversion on the other side of the formation. \u00a0 There is no reason to throw this low percentage throw to Forte when he’s this well covered. \u00a0If you don’t advocate Fitz turning towards the other side, Quincy Enunwa is wide open behind Forte for a pass as well, but is ignored by Fitzpatrick. \u00a0This is a crucial third down, and Fitzpatrick goes for a horrible pass option, when two other options were open to him with a clean pocket.<\/p>\n 6)\u00a0<\/strong> The Jets are in an empty set, with the Dolphins in a 2 deep safety look. \u00a0 Considering the short pass situation, there are 5 options on the field for Fitzpatrick. \u00a0He picks the absolute worst option and gets picked off by a defensive tackle. \u00a0This play is akin to the interception thrown by Geno Smith against the Bills a couple of years ago (to Kiko Alonso) where he just didn’t see the guy. \u00a0It is unusual for a DT to drop back into coverage (unless you are coached by Todd Bowles) but this is just a brutal interception. \u00a0Fitzpatrick is a game manager, with the management skills of Enron. \u00a0There is nothing else that can be said about this play other than that the Jets are lucky Robby Anderson didn’t get trampled on this play.<\/p>\n 7)\u00a0<\/strong> Another example of Fitzpatrick being locked into a receiver. \u00a0Prior to this play, Brandon Marshall had made a play, thus Ryan Fitzpatrick had his mind made up that he was going back to the well. \u00a0Marshall is open for the pass initially, but Fitzpatrick can’t pull the trigger and ends up throwing it at the ground again. \u00a0He ends up making a jumping bounce pass, but unfortunately this isn’t basketball. \u00a0Robby Anderson and Charone Peake are more open on this play, but it doesn’t matter to Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n 8)<\/strong>\u00a0 Brandon Marshall wide open for the TD, Ryan Fitzpatrick staring down his star WR, but his eyes are writing checks his arm can’t cash. \u00a0If you notice, Seferian- Jenkins is also open for a TD as well on this play. \u00a0 However, Marshall indicates at the line that he wants the ball and Fitzpatrick does his best to stare him down. \u00a0Once, he makes the move to the outside, he is wide open for a TD. \u00a0All Fitzpatrick has to do is make a good throw and it’s seven points. \u00a0The Dolphins screwed up the assignments on this play with the outside defender playing man coverage, while the slot defender thought it was zone. \u00a0Normally, this time of mix up leads to big gains, but not in this case.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
