<\/a><\/p>\nJosh McCown has space in the pocket to move, and receivers open down the field. \u00a0Most notably, Robby Anderson is flying down the field with inside leverage, and assured to run right by the safety. \u00a0However, Josh McCown doesn’t pull the trigger on the deep pass. \u00a0Nevertheless, Jeremy Kerley and Jermaine Kearse are also open on this play in the intermediate area, but McCown runs to the sideline to summon the punting team. \u00a0Notice that the tight end on this play apparently doesn’t have any idea of the snap count, because he’s looking back towards the QB, after the ball is snapped. \u00a0This should have been a completed pass for a first down, because there are three options available to the quarterback, and they aren’t utilized. \u00a0If it’s a incomplete pass to Anderson, at least the Jets are taking a shot down the field, which keeps the defense honest. \u00a0In the worst case scenario, if it’s an interception, it functions similar to a punt. \u00a0This method of conservative play looks acceptable in the box score, but the Jets won’t be a consistent offense without giving defenses a reason to cover the whole field.<\/p>\n
2)\u00a0 This is a great play by Gareon Conley as he swats away the ball like a legal case. \u00a0The missed opportunity stems from the bad throw by Josh McCown here, and a bad decision. \u00a0The Jets have (Presumably Robby Anderson) on the right side of the formation with inside leverage on a deep route, and McCown moves on from the read to throw to Kearse. \u00a0The decision is acceptable because Kearse has a step on Conley, but the throw is horrible because it’s thrown behind the receiver. \u00a0Back shoulder throws work out better if they don’t give the defender time to recover, but in this case, the ball is lobbed behind the target. \u00a0The corner back has enough time to recover and make a play on the ball. \u00a0McCown should have led Kearse with this pass, or thrown a stronger pass without as much loft. \u00a0If McCown feared Conley with the inside position, then the pass should have gone to Anderson on the other sideline. \u00a0Brandon Shell absolutely gets abused on this play, but the defender is picked up by Bilal Powell, allowing McCown enough time to get this pass off.<\/p>\n 3)\u00a0 This is a 3rd and 9 play in Oakland territory, and the Jets get conservative. \u00a0McCown has Robby Anderson for a pass, another receiver for a short pass, or the running back out of the back field, but takes the sack instead. \u00a0McCown does a good job in moving up in the pocket on this play, but he has to pull the trigger on this pass to Anderson or the secondary receiver. \u00a0After the sack, gambling extraordinaire Todd Bowles decided to punt the ball, which gained a grand total of 28 yards.<\/p>\n 4)\u00a0 This is a conversion for a first down, one which withstood a challenge by the Raiders. \u00a0However, this is a horrible play because the Raiders are rushing three and Josh McCown could create a plethora of opportunities by stepping up in the pocket. \u00a0He has enough space to move up, which would then cause the linebackers to either commit to the zone, or abandon it, allowing guys to be open. \u00a0Both Robby Anderson and Will Tye had a chance to be open if the play is extended by McCown moving up in the pocket. \u00a0Charone Peake doesn’t do himself any favors with this route, but he makes a nice catch and barely gets enough yards for the conversion.<\/p>\n 5)\u00a0 This play probably reminds Anderson of playing with Fitzpatrick. \u00a0Robby Anderson runs by his defender and has at least a step and soon to be more, when Josh McCown under throws the ball for an incomplete pass. \u00a0The concept on this play is great because it’s set up to succeed. \u00a0Jeremy Kerley is running the deep in route, which is supposed to take away the outside defender and the single high safety. \u00a0If the safety or the outside corner back doesn’t stay with Kerley, then he’s wide open for a pass. \u00a0Once the safety is occupied, Anderson has a one on one match up with a wheel route, allowing him to run by the defender. \u00a0Once the safety, outside defender, and the defender on Anderson are out of the way, then it clears the way for Kearse’s route cutting across the field. \u00a0Then notice the TE running behind Kearse also running a deeper slant route. \u00a0All of these routes are timed perfectly, giving the QB multiple options. \u00a0Unfortunately, McCown makes a horrible throw and wastes this opportunity. \u00a0On the bright side, this is a great play design by the offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
