This past for the Cincinnati Bengals. They were coming off of one of the biggest wins in recent history after .This game does serve as a reminder that any team can win. It does not matter who the favorite is on paper, when the game is played there is always a chance that the underdog can overcome adversity. So how did Mike White and the ?Making Life EasyIn short, the Bengals made life easy on White, especially in the second half. The statistics show this along with the film. All he had to do was hit short, easy pa ses throughout the game.His average depth of target was 3.7 yards. Ben Roethlisberger also threw a lot of short pa ses earlier this season against the Bengals. His average depth of target was still 5.4 yards. One difference is that the Bengals mi sed 15 tackles against the Jets. They still mi sed 11 tackles against the Steelers but you can see Chicago Cubs Jersey the difference in the yards per attempt between the two quarterbacks.White was at nine yards per attempt in this game, despite throwing the ball le s than half of that distance through the air. Roethlisbergers yards per attempt were just about equal with his average depth of target. To me, this shows that the Bengals were mi sing tackles and allowing easy yards to the Jets while they were able to make stops against the Steelers. Both of those teams had similar game plans to attack underneath, but there was only one game where this really worked.While the yards after catch is one area that was an i sue there were multiple problems in this game. Not only did they make life easy on White by allowing dump-offs to go for big gains due to mi sed tackles, but their defense was also easy to read.Cover 3 buzz is a variation on Cover 3 that has the strong safety come down to play the hook zone. The WILL linebacker will play the curl flat zone instead. Typically defenses will run this coverage and hold the safety deep until after the snap to rotate. This can cause the quarterback to hold the ball a tick longer as he is confused by the coverage. Instead of doing that, the Bengals show 3 buzz pre-snap. This is just making life easy on the offense. Once the safety rotates down, the quarterback knows he has a mismatch of a linebacker on his slot receiver. All the slot does is attack the curl-flat defenders outside before sitting to his inside. By attacking the outside, he is widening him and creating a larger hole between the curl-flat and the hook zone. Just an easy pitch and catch for the offense. David Ross Jersey Here the Bengals show Cover 1 pre-snap and ultimately play Cover 1. To attack Cover 1 here the Jets run a cla sic west coast offense staple: double slants with a flat. What makes this play difficult to defend in Cover 1 is that the linebacker on the back has to weave through traffic to keep up with him. Wilson does a terrible job of getting through traffic on this play and instead lets a 1-yard pa s turn into a big gain. The outside slant is also open because it works against the cornerbacks leverage so White had multiple options open on the play.There is somewhat of a disguise on this play, but with the safety walked all the way out to the numbers, it is not a very good one. The Bengals have their underneath defenders on the line of scrimmage and no one over the slot to the boundary. Another easy play for White and the Jets to just to s the ball out to the receiver who is open pre-snap. The linebacker cannot get Chicago Cubs T-Shirts out there in time and the safety to that side is way too deep to make a play on this ball.All of these plays are different coverages. This one is a 2-man variation and the Bengals show that they are playing it pre-snap. The Jets attack the Bengals' 2-man by isolating the back against the linebacker. The pa s is about a yard downfield and an easy throw for the quarterback. Its also an easy read for him knowing that he is getting 2-man on this play.The running back makes a nice play to gain separation against the linebacker by getting on his toes before breaking out. Wilson does a poor job of recovering here and it leads to a big gain. Not just zone coverage was being beaten for easy gains, but the thing about these plays is that there are no disguises, no post-snap movement, and its all on 4-man rushes.Very clear and obvious man blitz look from the Bengals on this play. They line up with no one deep, the defensive backs on a line, and a pre sure front. This is actually a pretty difficult throw from White, but its an easy read. The slot receiver to the boundary pre ses vertical and then out. This attacks the corner backs leverage who is protecting the inside.This throw is actually quite difficult. White is throwing from his back foot in the perfect spot towards the sideline. There is a debate about whether the receiver actually caught the pa s on Twitter, but it was ruled a touchdown after a brief review.The Bengals call Cover 3 sky on this play which is similar to Cover 3 buzz which was the first play. Just flips the roles of the strong safety and linebacker. The Jets widen the curl-flat defender with the flat route to create a hole in the zone. The receiver pushes vertical and outside to open up the area between the deep Joe Maddon Jersey corner and the hook zone. Once he sits, White puts the ball right on him for an easy gain. This throw travels a little bit of distance but is a pretty simple throw for an NFL quarterback. Its also a very easy read because the offensive coordinator dialed up another play to beat the coverage that the Bengals showed pre-snap.Here is the last play in the collage of easy throws. The Bengals line up in a clear quarters look and then play quarters post-snap. By working the interior receiver outside first, the Jets have expanded the flat defenders. This isolates the linebacker one on one with the running back. Again the running back wins that battle. All he does is release through the line and then break outside. The linebacker is playing off here, but still cannot react and recover on the route. He also mi ses a tackle letting the back gain even more cheap yardage. Yet again this is another throw that travels about one yard beyond the line of scrimmage but is a gain of 10+ and a first down.Fire Zones and CreepersIf the Bengals just lined up and played without any type of plan to confuse White during the game I would kind of understand what happened. They just underestimated the quarterback and waited for him to make a mistake. The weird thing about this game is that the Bengals included plenty of plays early in the game that confused White. This led to the Jets only scoring just seven points before the 2-minute drive at the end of the half. They cut out a lot of these plays after halftime and started to play much more conservative. Lets look at some of these concepts in a little bit closer detail and how they worked.Like much of the vocabulary in football, the definition of a creeper changes depending on who you are talking with.
