<\/a>3rd & 8<\/p><\/div>\n
This is an almost impossible play for any QB. \u00a0The defense is in a two deep safety look, with press man coverage across the board. \u00a0At pre-snap, Petty sees press coverage on Marshall to the left of the formation, with safety help over the top. \u00a0He correctly surmises that, the best place to find an open receiver is to the right side of the formation, so his first progression read is to the right side. \u00a0Unfortunately, there just isn’t an open receiver in the area. \u00a0The Patriots have this play covered extremely well, at which point Petty tries to run with the ball, but runs into his own tackle, and gets sacked. \u00a0This looks like a coverage sack, there just isn’t an open option in the time frame for him to pull the trigger.<\/p>\n
2)<\/strong><\/p>\n 1st & 10<\/p><\/div>\n Identical situations, although there is a chance for a risky throw here. \u00a0The defense again shows two deep safety with press coverage, but switch to zone coverage on this one. \u00a0Marshall is again double teamed here with the CB playing underneath routes, with safety help over the top. \u00a0Petty, again, looks to the right of the formation to see an open receiver, although the Patriots are baiting Petty for a throw to the Enunwa. \u00a0The defender on Enunwa has outside coverage, and falls off, allowing Enunwa to be open, but there is middle linebacker coming in from the middle to intercept a pass. \u00a0Petty’s best option is to target Brandon Bostick\u00a0behind Enunwa, but it’s too late, as the rush is near him. \u00a0He tries to squeeze between defenders in moving up in the pocket and gets tripped. \u00a0The secondary read (Bostick) only develops after he gets behind Enunwa (most likely read is Enunwa then Bostick) but there isn’t enough time to complete this read. \u00a0The worst culprit on this play is Brandon Shell, who decides to completely abandon the defensive end lined up right across from him, instead choosing to double team a defensive tackle. \u00a0The decision is made even worse by the fact that the defense is showing blitz from that same side, meaning he allows two free runners at the QB so he can double the defensive tackle. \u00a0Either Shell just can’t grasp the blocking scheme, is utterly ill prepared, or Petty failed to set protection. \u00a0As we broke down last week’s film, Shell made similar plays as well. \u00a0The only thing that saves Petty from a Cameron Wake type take down is Bilal Powell trying to swipe the legs of the defender, which causes him to jump up, and prevent him from destroying Petty as he runs to the side. \u00a0The Jets paid a heavy price for Brandon Shell, but he has not looked good at all lately in terms of protection, as he seems to have a penchant for allowing free runners. \u00a0It could also be a function of an inexperienced offensive line that just doesn’t communicate well, which is a black mark for coaching.<\/p>\n 3) <\/strong><\/p>\n 2nd & 11<\/p><\/div>\n The Patriots are showing single high safety, but the second safety backs up at the last moment, with press zone coverage. \u00a0Petty’s first read is Brandon Marshall on this play, but he doesn’t pull the trigger. \u00a0Marshall is briefly open on this play, as his defender is playing the underneath route, so there is an opening for a deep pass. \u00a0However, Petty looks towards Marshall and decides to take the safer pass to Powell, and fails. \u00a0It’s just a terrible throw by Petty, most likely caused by the rain, but he can’t have excuses for plays like this.<\/p>\n 4)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 3rd & 11<\/p><\/div>\n Right read, bad throw. \u00a0The defense is in a two deep safety look, and Petty tries to make a back shoulder pass to Anderson and makes another bad throw in the rain. \u00a0As the second example shows, the ball slipped out of his hand and essentially floated towards Anderson. \u00a0Maybe Petty should invest in some gloves. \u00a0This is another bad throw, as he has to learn to make throws in the rain, especially playing in an open air stadium. \u00a0It’s a great play by Malcolm Butler to come up with the interception, but all of the fault for this throw goes to Petty.<\/p>\n 5)<\/strong><\/p>\n 3rd & 4<\/p><\/div>\n Another bad play by Petty. \u00a0The defense is in a single high safety look, with press man coverage on this play. \u00a0The pre-snap read is good by Petty because he realizes the defender on Enunwa is the furthest away from any receiver and he just needs short yardage, thus he’s the most likely to be open. \u00a0Enunwa is open on this play, while Petty is staring right at him, but doesn’t make the throw. \u00a0Petty even takes a page out of the Fitzpatrick play book, by running towards a defender while trying to make a throw. \u00a0It’s a horrible play all around by Petty.<\/p>\n 1)<\/strong><\/p>\n 2nd & 8<\/p><\/div>\n Austin Seferain-Jenkins.<\/em> Please ignore the rest of the play, this one focuses just on Austin Seferian-Jenkins. \u00a0The TE is lined up in the slot facing a linebacker, who is shading him to the inside. \u00a0This indicates that the defense is willing to let Jenkins run outside, and defend the slant route to the middle of the field. \u00a0However, Jenkins shows his ability to get open on this play by the move he makes near the defender. \u00a0Watch the slight stutter step when approaching the defender, as he needs the linebacker to think he’s going on an out route. \u00a0Jenkins first moves inside, then outside, which causes the defender to turn towards the outside, as Jenkins runs by him up the field. \u00a0The part that makes the play is the hips of the linebacker, because if the defender turns to the inside as he runs up field (as he’s not worried about the out route) this is most likely an interception. \u00a0However, Jenkins makes the play by the slight move, which causes the hips to change directions, allowing him to be open on this play.<\/p>\n 2)<\/strong><\/p>\n 3rd & 6<\/p><\/div>\n Austin Seferian-Jenkins.<\/em> On this play, Jenkins is lined up against a safety, and watch how he attacks the safety down the seam. \u00a0Jenkins runs right at the safety, causing indecision on the part of the defender as he backs up. \u00a0He even gives him a hint of a curl route near the first down marker, which causes the safety to flinch forward as Jenkins gains inside leverage on this play. \u00a0He does everything well on this play, but just doesn’t catch the pass. \u00a0This is a pass that has to be caught, and shows the ups and downs with this young TE.<\/p>\n 3)<\/strong><\/p>\n 3rd & 10<\/p><\/div>\n Charone Peake.<\/em> \u00a0When we did the scouting report on Charone Peake, we concluded that he’s a more refined (slightly less athletic) version of Stephen Hill, and he does a good job of reminding fans of the former Jet on this play. \u00a0Peake is lined up in the slot on this play, and he uses his speed to run across the middle and create separation. \u00a0Peake is open for this pass, and Fitzpatrick throws a good pass, but it is flat out dropped by the receiver. \u00a0Peake shows great athletic ability, because if he catches this ball, he’s one missed tackle away from a touchdown, but he also shows the issues that plagued him in college with drops.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Supporting Cast:<\/h2>\n
