On the 1st play of the 4th quarter in the Week 15 match-up between the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets, Bryce Petty fell victim to a snap count miscommunication and it nearly cost him his life. After Cameron Wake and Ndamukong Suhs impact, I fully expected to see Pettys intestines randomly scattered across the NFL logo on the field. <\/p>\n
Winning 34-10, MetLife Stadium had already been taken over by a sea of aqua and orange. This play made me cringe and I was sitting in the nosebleeds. A collective ooh, with accompanying facial twitch, overcame the crowd to empathize with the pain - it must have felt like getting hit by Mike Tyson in Mike Tysons Punch-Out and a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick at the same time. <\/p>\n
Ryan Fitzpatrick came out and put up a whopping 17.1 QB rating for the rest of the game and the rest was history. Dolphins win. <\/p>\n
But wow, this play was almost as bad as Mark Sanchez using his face to wipe Brandon Moores butt. <\/p>\n
Lawyer: Mr. SUTTON, what did you witness Saturday night at MetLife Stadium? <\/p>\n
Me: I witnessed Mr. Suh and Mr. Wake kill Mr. Petty. I also saw the Jets sucking and the Dolphins not sucking. <\/p>\n
Lawyer: And by what means did they use to (air quote) kill Mr. Petty? <\/p>\n
Me: I thought it was a fun formation that created a little confusion: Suh and Wake at DE, Jason Jones (DE) at DT, Andre Branch (DE) at DT standing up, LBs pressing the A gaps. On this play, the Jets offense communicated about as well as Chewbacca enunciates - and it was in between quarters when the Jets conceivably had more time to not have that kind of dumb s*** happen, but, you know, its the Jets, that type of stuff happens all the time. #76, #83, and #67 literally touched nothing but air on the play. The only reason #71 touches someone is because Jason Jones runs right into him. <\/p>\n
Lawyer: (snickers fairly loudly, coughs\/clears throat, realizes he has to remain composed during the proceedings and not reveal his Dolphins loyalty) How would you describe the cause of death, sir? <\/p>\n
Me: It was a collision sandwich. He was smushed to death. Of all the people to not only not block, but have a free sprint at your QB, you let it be Suh and Wake simultaneously? <\/p>\n
Lawyer: Thank you, nothing further your Tannehill, I mean, your highness. <\/p>\n
