FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Chan Gailey watched Bryce Petty scramble to his left and, with a defender in his face, launch a pass down the field across his body -- and off his back foot.The first reaction by the New York Jets offensive coordinator probably mirrored that of many fans.No! No! No! Gailey recalled with a smile Wednesday. Then, he had a great play, and you get your call sheet ready for the next one.In other words, whew.Pettys gunslinger-like play was a key moment in overtime, connecting with Robby Anderson on a 26-yard pass that helped set up Bilal Powells winning 19-yard touchdown run last Sunday in New Yorks 23-17 victory at San Francisco.We needed to make a play and Robby made a great play on that ball, Petty said. Really, it was an outstanding effort by him.Petty kept the play alive and took a chance -- one the coaches might tell him he probably shouldnt in the future.Theyll say that if it doesnt work, Petty said with a big grin. Its one of those things that if it works, great, thats how we drew it up. And if it doesnt, `All right, lets not do that anymore.Petty had an uneven second NFL start, and first since being elevated to starter for the rest of the season. He was 23 of 35 for 257 yards, and had four rushes for 19 yards . Oh, and he also threw an interception on his first pass against the 49ers. Rather than be discouraged and rattled, Petty bounced back quickly.He did some good things, Gailey said. I thought he got more comfortable as the game went on. I hope hell learn from that experience and hopefully hell be better this week. Thats what you hope young players do.Petty acknowledged he had some nervous moments going into the game, something that surprised him.I dont really know why, said Petty, a fourth-round draft pick out of Baylor last year. Its being able to work through those things. I like the jitters. Theres a positive to that because Im passionate about the game. Im excited about that. Just have to be able to work through those.I think I was trying to confirm too much, seeing looks and wanting to make sure this is exactly what I saw instead of seeing it, trusting it and going.Coach Todd Bowles said Petty needs to improve on reading defenses, a common shortcoming for inexperienced quarterbacks. Bowles also wants him to loosen up a little bit early.Petty unnderstands exactly where Bowles is coming from, and he agrees.dddddddddddd Hell focus on having fun rather than trying to be perfect. Hell also exhale a bit before the game starts.There will be nerves, he said. I think its that part of getting through it: `OK, Ive done this. Its OK. Weve got it. Knowing what it can do and how it does hinder me and kind of use that knowledge to say, `OK, I cant let that happen, and be able to pull from it in a positive way.Its all part of the education and development of a young quarterback in the NFL.So is walking the fine line between being reckless and showing progress on the field.Do you take away a guys natural feel for the game and the playmaking ability that a guy has? Gailey said. You dont want to take that away, the aggressiveness and the, `Hey, were going to make a play here, by making him too conservative, either.Petty idolized Brett Favre while growing up in Midlothian, Texas, and his playing style resembles the Hall of Famer a bit. Favre, of course, retired as the NFLs leader in TD passes as well as interceptions.I dont like to use the word `gamble, Petty said of his own approach. No, I think thats kind of something Ive done since high school is when a play breaks down, I dont like giving up on plays.Instead of gamble, what would he prefer to call it?Making a play, I guess, he said, smiling.Petty was sacked six times by the 49ers, and he pinned them on himself because he held onto the ball too long. Gailey thought it was more Petty needing to make cleaner reads.Ill probably be better this week in that situation, in those scenarios, and just trust what I see and play, Petty said.Facing Miami on Saturday night, Petty will be up against one of the leagues most aggressive defensive fronts, with Ndamukong Suh, Cameron Wake, Jordan Phillips, Andre Branch and Mario Williams -- who have combined for 22 sacks -- leading the way.They have a really, really good pass rush, definitely the best Ive seen playing, Petty said. Its definitely an emphasis to get the ball out and just distribute because when we do that, positive things happen.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
