nonsensical overturn of a TD by the referees in the replay booth.\u00a0 While McCown didn&#8217;t play stellar, he did have his moments and should have had another TD.\u00a0 \u00a0 Let&#8217;s see his good plays:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">1)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-1-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37734 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-1-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This is just a great route run by Robby Anderson, as he completely turns around his defender.\u00a0 Jermaine Kearse is one of the better route runners in the game, and it would be logical to assume that he may be helping Anderson set up some routes.\u00a0 He does a great job of reading the hips of the defender, then turning inside, which causes the defender to completely turn around, and leave Anderson wide open on the double move.\u00a0 A very nice throw by McCown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">2)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-2-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37735 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-2-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">McCown does a good job of escaping the pocket and getting the first down here.\u00a0 The Jets need their QBs to be somewhat mobile, especially in games where the running game is stagnant.\u00a0 Only other thing to notice is the beautiful move by Kearse at the line of scrimmage to create separation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">3)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-3-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37736 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-3-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This is a simple screen pass to the running back, and McCown does a good job of executing it, simple play.\u00a0 It&#8217;s highlighted here because this defense is baffling from the Patriots.\u00a0 They have essentially 6 defenders dedicated to 2 receivers.\u00a0 They are triple teaming both receivers on this play.\u00a0 Even if it wasn&#8217;t a screen play, the running back would have ran for a first down because everyone bailed from the line of scrimmage.\u00a0 It&#8217;s just a baffling call.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">4)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-4-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37737 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-4-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A concept that should be familiar if you read the film reviews.\u00a0 The Jets have a play action roll out, with three tiered options, and McCown hits Stewart for the short gain.\u00a0 How is this play not holding on the defender?\u00a0 They are well beyond the 5 yard margin, and the shoulder pad of the receiver is being dragged backwards.\u00a0 If the defender follows the receiver down the field, Stewart may have been able to make something of this play.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">5)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-5-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37738 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-5-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A great throw by McCown, places the ball perfectly for Kerley, as he&#8217;s getting dragged down.\u00a0 This is simply a great throw under duress, with wonderful placement, and a great catch by the receiver.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">6)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-6-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37739 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-6-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The first TD to Austin Seferian-Jenkins, and it&#8217;s a nice play.\u00a0 The read on this play is the corner back outside of Jenkins at the start of the play.\u00a0 If the corner drops back with Jenkins, then the Jets have the full back and running back matched up against one defender, allowing for an open receiver.\u00a0 If the corner back stays in the flat, as he did, then Jenkins will have space behind him.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a great set up, and good execution by McCown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">7)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-7-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37740 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-7-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A great throw to Jenkins again, executed well.\u00a0 One thing to notice is how Jenkins sets up the catch by going down to his knees first, because it allows for the catch to be counted as soon as he catches it.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a simple fundamental move, but it helps avoid complicated off balance toe drags and provides a lower target for the QB to hit.\u00a0 Once again, the offense seems to show much better fundamentals this season in their routes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">8)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-8-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37741 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-8-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Jermaine Kearse smokes his defender again at the line of scrimmage, and McCown hits him for a big conversion.\u00a0 It looks like ArDarius Stewart is on the outside to the right of the formation and he runs past his defender as well.\u00a0 A good play design by the coaching staff, and good execution by the players.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-8B.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37742 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-8B.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This is just here to highlight Elijah McGuire shaking a Patriot defender with a wonderful move.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">9)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-9-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37743 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-9-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Once again, a perfect throw to Kerley from McCown.\u00a0 Notice the set up on this play because it&#8217;s complicated.\u00a0 The Jets are running Kerley on a deep crossing route, but it doesn&#8217;t work if the Patriots corner to that side of the field stays home.\u00a0 So the Jets run Jenkins on a short crossing route from the other side to draw the defender up.\u00a0 If the defender doesn&#8217;t follow Jenkins, then there is the pass to the RB open with a one on one match up in the open field.\u00a0 If the defender chases Jenkins, then the middle line backer chases the running back.\u00a0 If the middle linebacker chooses to drop back, then McCown has his pick of Jenkins\/RB.\u00a0 For the Jets, the scenario works out where Kerley&#8217;s desired area is cleared, therefore McCown makes the pass to him.\u00a0 However, this is an intricate set up by Morton to clear that space to be open.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">10)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-10-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37744 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-10-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This is a big third down conversion as the Jets are driving, in a quest to score points before halftime.\u00a0 McCown makes a nice throw to the sideline with Jenkins, and stops the clock in the process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">11)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-11-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37745 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-11-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Another simple play, with a fairly easy read for the QB, which indicates a great set up by the coaching staff.\u00a0 Anderson goes in motion, which causes his defender to lag behind, and you will see this often in other offenses as well.\u00a0 The ball is snapped before the defender can regain his positioning, thus effectively taking him out of the quick pass equation.\u00a0 The read for the QB is the edge line backer on this play.\u00a0 If the defender stays with Anderson to the outside, then the quick hook route to Kearse will be open.\u00a0 If the defender can&#8217;t stay with Anderson (as is the case here), then the receiver will have ample time to turn the corner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">12)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-12-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37746 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-12-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A first down conversion to Travaris Cadet, although he doesn&#8217;t run a great route.\u00a0 The inside slant gives away his route early, but McCown makes a nice throw and Cadet gains enough yards after the catch to get a first down.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">13)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-13-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37747 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-13-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This is a simple numbers game for the Jets on this one, with the read being the blitzing line backer.\u00a0 If the LB falls back to stay in the area of Jenkins, then McCown has more time to wait for the play to develop.\u00a0 If the LB blitzes, then this is an easy pitch and catch to Jenkins, since the safety is playing so far back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">14)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-14.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37748 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-14.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A good catch by Forte on this play, and nice set up by the Jets.\u00a0 The receiver acts as a distraction to the defender, allowing enough time for Forte to create separation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">15)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-15.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37749 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-15.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">You&#8217;ve seen this one over and over again.\u00a0 A shame.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">16)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-16.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37750 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-16.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"426\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A wide open Kearse down the field, and McCown does a good job of finding him as he goes through his progressions.\u00a0 This is mainly just bad defense by the Patriots as they seem to just have two defenders dedicated to three receivers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">17)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-17.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Once again, a great route by Kearse on this play.\u00a0 Notice that the defender has inside leverage at the start of this play, so he wants Kearse to go towards the outside, and he&#8217;s well positioned for an inside slant.\u00a0 Kearse runs right at him, which doesn&#8217;t give away the route, and makes a move to the outside.\u00a0 When the receiver is that close, the defender has to commit one way or another, and falls for the move, as Kearse goes inside.\u00a0 The whole route is set up by Kearse running straight and not giving away the route.\u00a0 He&#8217;s absolutely terrific at setting up defenders in this sense.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">18)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Good-McCown-18.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37752 aligncenter\"

conversion for the Jets as McCown hits Anderson down the field.\u00a0 The ball is throw a bit behind the receiver, but he slows down and makes the catch and runs up the field.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Conclusion:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Josh McCown played a good game against the Patriots, albeit not without mistakes as you will see later, but he did make a fair amount of good plays.\u00a0 The offense is set up extremely well, and the receivers seem to be more fundamentally sound this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Jets
