<\/a><\/p>\nThis is a 3rd down and 9 play in the first quarter, and the Rams are in a single high safety look. \u00a0 The pre-snap read shows the defender on Robby Anderson playing well off the ball and Petty recognizes it at the line of scrimmage. \u00a0 He makes a good throw on this ball, but it ends up going short of the first down because Anderson essentially got pushed back down the field. \u00a0It was initially ruled a first down, but later changed upon review. \u00a0This is a very good read and throw by Petty, showing very good arm strength. \u00a0He’s on the other end of the hash mark, so this is not only a throw for a come back, it’s being done from across the field. \u00a0He also stands tall in the pocket, as the Rams were blitzing on this play, so he definitely takes a hit just after he throws this pass.<\/p>\n
2)<\/strong>\u00a0 The first deep pass of Petty’s career, and it’s a good pass. \u00a0It’s not amazingly great because it is a bit under-thrown, but the trajectory on this throw is great. \u00a0The Rams are in a single high safety look, fully expecting the run with the Jets backed into their own end zone. \u00a0Robby Anderson runs right by his defender and gains a step on his defender and Petty finds him for the deep pass. \u00a0The trajectory of this throw is what makes this throw because he dropped the ball in over the head of the defender, which is very important when the defender has inside position. \u00a0Anderson didn’t have to go through the defender to catch the pass, which would have been the case had the ball been more of a line drive throw, which made it easier for him. \u00a0While Petty has his share of flaws in his game, his ability with deep passes is one of his best traits.<\/p>\n 3)<\/strong>\u00a0 This is a 3rd and 3 play, and the Rams show up again in a single high safety look. \u00a0The design of this play is a great call by Chan Gailey, because the Rams are caught in man coverage. \u00a0Brandon Marshall is lined up to the left of the formation, but goes in motion. \u00a0He ends up lining up in the slot, right before the ball is snapped. \u00a0This is very important, because it doesn’t allow the Rams time to communicate a change in defensive assignments. \u00a0Notice Quincy Enunwa on this play, and the angle he takes on this play. \u00a0He runs a bit inside as he’s running up the field, which all but forces the defender on Marshall to run around the other Rams player. \u00a0If the defender on Marshall had tried to run a more straight line towards Marshall, he would have been blocked off by his own player and Enunwa, which would have led to a bigger play for Marshall. \u00a0Petty shows good timing with the play, executing the quick pass and throwing a good pass to Marshall. \u00a0This isn’t an amazing play by any means, but it’s shown because of the shrewd play calling and route combination here by Chan Gailey.<\/p>\n 4)<\/strong>\u00a0 This is a 3rd and 6 play in the second quarter, and the Rams adjust with a two deep safety look. \u00a0 The defenders are playing off from the receivers, so this is a very good pre-snap read by Petty. \u00a0One of the biggest concerns with Petty was his ability (or possible lack of ability) in reading defenses, but he makes a very good read here. \u00a0On this play, the read is the outside defender, who ends up tackling Enunwa in the end. \u00a0If the defender is aggressive on Enunwa, then it’s a deeper pass to Robby Anderson (as the route is designed to go away from the deep safety). \u00a0However, the defender didn’t commit right away to Enunwa, therefore Petty took the easier throw and converted the first down.<\/p>\n 5)\u00a0<\/strong> This is one of the those rare passes on first down this past Sunday, and the Rams were in a two deep safety look as well. \u00a0The defenders are all playing off the receivers, so Petty has his pick of guys to pick from. \u00a0The read on this play is from left to right because the running back is to Petty’s left. \u00a0So while acting out the play action he is already turned towards Robby Anderson, and then move on if he’s covered. \u00a0In this case, Anderson wasn’t well covered, so Petty hits him for a quick strike. \u00a0It’s a good throw to Anderson, who makes a great move on the defender to gain more yards up the field.<\/p>\n 6)<\/strong>\u00a0 This is a 2nd and 6 play, with the Rams back in a single high safety look, which doesn’t count because there was a holding penalty on the Jets. \u00a0This is late in the second quarter, and a great throw by Petty on this play after a low snap. \u00a0The Jets need receivers to get out of bounds, but also convert the first down. \u00a0Petty throws a bullet from the other side of the hash mark, and finds Charone Peake running to the sidelines for a first down as he goes out of bounds. \u00a0The pre-snap read shows that the right side of the formation had the best chance of having an open receiver, and Petty makes the correct read. \u00a0There are two possible options on this play, Peake and Anderson, but Petty makes the optimal throw because they also need to conserve time outs.<\/p>\n 7)\u00a0<\/strong> This is a 3rd and 2 play in the second quarter with fifteen seconds left in the quarter. \u00a0While the Jets needed to move downfield, they also needed to convert the first down here and Petty makes a good throw. \u00a0One of the better traits of Petty is his ability to throw quick passes with good accuracy, one of the better things to come out of the Baylor spread system, which emphasizes quick passes. \u00a0This is a good play by Petty and Brandon Marshall, who also runs out of bounds to preserve time. \u00a0It’s a good conversion by the Jets, but this is mainly to highlight the quick trigger pass from Petty, and again shows good field awareness given the time of the quarter.<\/p>\n 8)<\/strong>\u00a0 A 2nd and 11 play, and the Jets have a small gain on this play. \u00a0This one is here to highlight Petty making the right read on this play. \u00a0There is pre-snap motion on this play, however the defense didn’t adjust, but it was negated since the receiver ended up in his initial place as well. \u00a0At the same time, the defender on Peake moves back near the snap, which is noticed by Petty. \u00a0Most times, this is absolutely a great read because in man coverage\u00a0with only one safety, the defender would be backing off from Peake. \u00a0However, the defender sees the quick pass from Petty and makes a great tackle on Peake in the open field. \u00a0This is absolutely a great read by Petty because he recognizes\u00a0the coverage change late in snap count and make a great throw. \u00a0However, Peake couldn’t break the tackle here, which limited this play. \u00a0If Peake breaks this tackle, this is a big gain, but that is being optimistic.<\/p>\n 9)\u00a0<\/strong> On this play, the Rams are in a single high safety look with man coverage across the board. \u00a0Petty stands tall in the pocket, and makes a good pass to Powell. \u00a0 The read on this play is the middle linebacker, and if he’s going to aggressively cover Powell, then there is a passing lane to Enunwa. \u00a0However, the defender lays back near Enunwa, which means there is a clear path to Powell. \u00a0This is a good read by Petty who reads the linebacker and makes the good throw.<\/p>\n 10)<\/strong>\u00a0 On this play, the Rams are in a single high safety look and they play off the defenders. \u00a0This is a good read by Petty again, as he takes the safe option with Powell. \u00a0 There are three receivers to the left of the formation, and Petty looks towards them from the start of this play. \u00a0This is another single read play, with the read being the middle linebacker. \u00a0If the linebacker goes towards Powell, then there is a throwing lane to Enunwa. \u00a0If the linebacker stays back, as he does in this case, the throw is open to Powell. \u00a0It’s another good read by Petty, and it’s a nice throw. \u00a0The other thing to notice on this play is Robby Anderson running down the field. \u00a0While it happened too late into the play, since Petty had to commit to a pass by then, Anderson runs right by his defender who happened to fall down.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
