<\/a><\/p>\nThis is a second and twelve play in the third quarter on his first drive, and the Colts are playing zone coverage. \u00a0 The Jets have three receivers, and two guys in the backfield to protect Petty on his first drive. \u00a0The defense is playing press coverage to the left of the formation, but they are backed up to the right side of the formation. \u00a0The pre-snap read should indicate that it’s far more likely that they will find an open receiver to the right side of the formation. \u00a0Prior to the snap, Robby Anderson goes in motion, and the Colts switch assignments at the last second. \u00a0Against zone coverage, this creates a match up problem for the Colts. \u00a0Petty should know the route combination prior to being at the line, so he should see that the outside defender is playing well outside of Quincy Enunwa, thus the inside corner is the one to read. \u00a0If he stays with Anderson instead of handing him off to the safety, then go towards Enunwa as he cuts across the field. \u00a0If he stays in the zone, then it’s Anderson running full speed against a deep safety. \u00a0Petty sees that Anderson has a free release, and makes a great throw to Anderson, who drops the pass. \u00a0It can be argued that it’s a tad under-thrown, but replays did show that Anderson did get both hands on the ball. \u00a0This is also a great angle of attack by the safety who covers the ground as Anderson tracks the ball to be there for contact when Anderson is trying to catch the ball. \u00a0This is a great read and throw by Petty, but unfortunately it’s a great reaction by the defender and a bad drop by Anderson.<\/p>\n
2)<\/strong>\u00a0 This is a second and ten play in the fourth quarter, and again Robby Anderson makes a drop. \u00a0The Colts are in a two deep safety look, and playing off the line of scrimmage. \u00a0It’s Petty’s guess as to which side will be open on this play, and he actually does make a progressive read on this play. \u00a0The first read on the play appears to be Brandon Marshall, then the defender on Quincy Enunwa. \u00a0As you see with the play, Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Marshall get tangled up at the start of the play, which robs each player of their momentum, taking them out of the play. \u00a0Petty rightfully moves on, and hits Robby Anderson for the pass, which is dropped. \u00a0The read on this play for Petty is the defender on Enunwa since this is still zone coverage. \u00a0If the defender abandons Enunwa for the outside, then the pass has to go to Enunwa, since he would be open. \u00a0If the defender goes inside with Enunwa first, it creates room for a passing lane to Anderson. \u00a0The fact that Enunwa first runs an inside route isn’t by accident, it is to move the defender inside so there can be a throwing lane for Anderson in case the defender engages Enunwa. \u00a0The play set up by Chan Gailey here is excellent, and the play recognition by Petty is exquisite. \u00a0 Unfortunately, Robby Anderson drops this pass, which is a shame because the play was executed perfectly on the right side of the formation.<\/p>\n 3)<\/strong>\u00a0 There isn’t much to analyze with this third down play in the fourth quarter. \u00a0The Jets are essentially playing four down football, so Petty tries to throw the pass to Powell to gain some yards back, but the ball is dropped. \u00a0There are other options that could be open on the play, but this seemed like Petty picked an easy pass to gain some yard, but it didn’t go right. \u00a0Petty isn’t without fault on this play, because Charone Peake is open down the middle on this play, similar to Anderson in the first example in this article, but Petty goes for the quick pass. \u00a0It isn’t an ideal pass as the ball is to the left a bit too much for Powell, but he does get two hands on it, and it should have been caught.<\/p>\n Bryce Petty made plenty of mistakes in the game against the Colts, but his receivers did make their share of mistakes as well. \u00a0Robby Anderson made his fair share of mistakes with two drops, but there should also be an adjustment period with a QB change. \u00a0Similar to how catchers have to learn to adjust catching from a soft tossing pitcher to a flame thrower, receivers have to get adjusted to the passes thrown by Fitzpatrick. \u00a0For the past season and a half, they have been accustomed to the passes from Fitzpatrick so they need time to adjust. \u00a0In the game started by Geno Smith, there were a high number of dropped passes as well early in the game.<\/p>\n Forum Questions:<\/em><\/p>\n A) Please provide a current player comparison for Robby Anderson<\/em><\/p>\n Please read, Petty Nation<\/a> (Good Passes), Petty Help<\/a> (Teammates Helping QB), and Petty Crimes<\/a> (QB Mistakes)\u00a0in our film review section to get a full review of his game.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bryce Petty had an up and down game against the Colts in the second half as he ushered in the end of the Ryan Fitzpatrick era. \u00a0However, there were some plays in which his receivers let him down. \u00a0Let’s examine these plays.
