Besides the opening-drive touchdown, Bryce Petty excelled in another area as the Jets' starting QB: his hard count.
"That's just something that was in the game plan," Petty said when I asked him if barking out signals to get defenders to jump offside was part of his game at Baylor or at Midlothian High. "It's was working good and you like that because, shoot, that's a free 5 yards, so continue to work on that."
Why not? Petty's bark got three Miami D-linemen — Andre Branch, Ndamukong Suh and Jordan Phillips — to leap out of their stances early in the first two quarters.
