<\/a>3rd & 6<\/p><\/div>\n
On this play, the Jets come out in press man coverage, with a single high safety in Pryor, with Gilchrist moving back as the ball is about to be snapped. \u00a0This is the defense that most of the personnel on the team has been drafted for. \u00a0Rex Ryan was infamous for being aggressive on third downs, and constructed a team that is more suited for press man coverage, and Todd Bowles followed a similar mantra thereafter. \u00a0All the receivers are well covered, forcing Andy Dalton to move up into the pocket and take a sack. \u00a0One thing of note here is Darrelle Revis, who is on press coverage with AJ Green. \u00a0Notice how Green is well covered on this play, and not an option for Dalton.<\/p>\n
2) <\/strong><\/p>\n 2nd & 15<\/p><\/div>\n The Jets are again in press coverage to begin this play, but Marcus Williams moves backwards before the ball is snapped. \u00a0The Bengals are trying to set up a screen pass on this play (as you can see the lack of effort from the three receivers to the right of the play), but defensive lineman Lawrence Thomas makes a nice play to break it up. \u00a0Once again, the Jets succeed with press man coverage, and a single high safety.<\/p>\n 3) <\/strong><\/p>\n 3rd & 15<\/p><\/div>\n This is actually a great play, and design by the Jets. \u00a0Revis is again playing press man coverage on AJ Green and covers him extremely well on this play. \u00a0However, the pass is going away from that side, and towards the right side of the line. \u00a0The Jets show very good adjustment here because they show man coverage, but switch to zone near the end, which is why this pass is intercepted. \u00a0When Dalton throws this ball, he is presuming man coverage, for which this is a great throw. \u00a0The ball is already in the air prior to the receiver making the break towards the outside, but Marcus Williams is switching on this play, and intercepts this pass. \u00a0If the Jets were in man coverage, this most likely would be a completed pass.<\/p>\n 4) <\/strong><\/p>\n 2nd & 20<\/p><\/div>\n The Jets get a sack on this play, and for the most part the secondary does their job. \u00a0Revis is actually caught out of position for this play, as there is a quick opening for a pass as he reacts to the route, but Dalton is not looking towards the receiver. \u00a0The rest of the crew holds their ground, forcing Dalton to move up in the pocket and get sacked. \u00a0The target for the Bengals is the deep in route through the middle, but Darron Lee is blocking the passing lane on this play with a safety over the top. \u00a0Dalton tries to buy time by moving up, but it doesn’t end in success.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a>
