00:13have the Jets found their potential wide receiver two of the future I'm here to break down Adonai
00:18Mitchell's film which was pretty awesome against the Raiders this past week in the Jets 38-33 loss
00:24but Adonai Mitchell went off and what was once thought of as a throw-in to the sauce gardener
00:29trade Mitchell has shown the ability to be potentially a great wide receiver and I'm going
00:34to break down some of the plays here on that game I want to start off with this first play
00:40of Adonai
00:41Mitchell this was the second drive of the game and you're going to see AD Mitchell is here at the
00:46top
00:46of the screen facing man coverage and Geno in the shotgun and this is what's impressive to me it's
00:52right and he knows I have to complete this pass well over 10 yards and AD Mitchell watch what he
01:00does this corner here on the man coverage he creates the separation by getting the outside leverage
01:05knowing the sideline is my friend here I only have a certain amount of yards here to operate
01:10and watch Geno he knows one-on-one I'm going to take this battle of AD Mitchell against this corner
01:17the safety's in the middle of the field I have good protection up at the front of the line on
01:21a
01:21scrimmage and Geno just delivers a strike and AD leans on the inside and then works his way to the
01:29outside towards the sideline I love the lean that he shows and the ability that athletic traits that
01:35AD Mitchell had in college when he was at Texas he leans to the inside gets to the outside and
01:40that's
01:40beautiful separation right there and again Geno throws a strike right to him on the sideline he stays
01:46in bounds good job by keeping himself in bounds he is one two three four five six yards past the
01:53first down marker this ends up going for almost a 17 yard gain and that to me just shows AD
02:00Mitchell
02:00has the speed and burst to get off the line of scrimmage even versus man coverage and create the
02:06separation he needs to when it's tight man coverage like that let's go to the next play here first and
02:1110 second quarter 14 47 on the clock the Jets got a tight two tight end split here uh with
02:18a wide
02:19receiver here and AD Mitchell's at the bottom of the screen you got Garrett Wilson single back and
02:23Braylon Allen and right now you see how the Raiders are playing this what they're doing right now is
02:28they're playing single high safety and the corner here is almost what seven eight yards off the line
02:34of scrimmage from AD Mitchell here and this is an incomplete pass it was the big pass that I thought
02:40Geno Smith could have completed to and this could have been a walk-in touchdown folks if you watch
02:44this play back from the old 22 angle he has AD Mitchell wide open for a monstrous 70 yard touchdown
02:51now I want you to see how this play develops they try to put hands on AD only three to
02:58four yards off
02:59the line of scrimmage from this secondary defender right here the corner here number five he's got outside
03:05leverage and he you would think he's got safety help over the top but since they have Garrett Wilson
03:12here they are playing double coverage with this safety on this wide receiver and Garrett Wilson with
03:18the corner right there they have three secondary four actually secondary uh level defenders here
03:23and Geno off the play action he's got time and he's got a clean pocket in front of him now
03:30watch
03:30AD Mitchell here at the bottom of the screen he's got inside leverage this safety is already bailing
03:36from the middle of the field he knows Garrett Wilson I got to get on him that guy is going
03:41to be open
03:42and watch Geno's eyes he's reading that safety and AD Mitchell with the speed that we saw in college
03:48and that incredible 40 time this is what's next level if you're even you're leaving and that's what the
03:55quarterback Geno Smith knows I got an even wide receiver against one-on-one with that corner there
04:01is no one back here this linebacker is trying to haul ass back there to try and cover this deep
04:07shot
04:08deep shot of the middle of the field AD Mitchell this is a one-on-one you want every single
04:13day in
04:13the NFL Geno if he wants he can throw this ball 40 50 yards in the air and hit AD
04:20Mitchell in stride
04:21but unfortunately Geno and look how wide open AD Mitchell is if he hits him in stride here
04:28this is a walk-in touchdown this is the second quarter this is how much AD Mitchell is making
04:34a difference already for this passing game thank you for coming back by the way after that crazy
04:38finger injury but this right here he underthrows him AD has to come back to the ball he has to
04:46slow
04:46down and he has to try to make an awesome catch here on the ball that is just so underthrown
04:51and
04:52if Geno again I'll rewind this back a little bit if Geno hits him in stride it's the referee right
04:59there this this guy's not making it and this corner has already lost the one-on-one battle and Geno
05:04just
05:04underthrows AD Mitchell here and he can't come up with the catch and it's a tough play for you're like
05:09ah if they just gotten that that would have been an amazing 70 yard touchdown probably for AD Mitchell
05:16and that was the second target of the game for him let's go to another third down play if you're
05:22noticing a theme here Geno went to AD Mitchell multiple times on third down again third and long
05:28they're playing behind the sticks now third and 11 I want you to watch AD Mitchell here at the bottom
05:34of your screen and the route that he runs you have a corner right here playing off is it zone
05:39is it man
05:40you have another corner here on the slot they have one two three four five six seven guys
05:46on the line of scrimmage against five blockers and one tight end so they have and you have the
05:52running back so if you count seven on the line of scrimmage let's say they send all seven I only
05:57have six to to protect Geno Smith so they have an extra defender however it's a sim pressure they only
06:05rush four and they drop back and they're trying to drop out on what looks like almost like a cover
06:10three but at the end of the day though I have AD Mitchell one-on-one again because this safety
06:15is
06:16bailing out he's got to cover the middle of the field and it's third and 11 Geno recognizes right
06:22away I have a nice clean pocket I can visibly see the read the entire field and how the defense
06:28is
06:28playing and watch how Geno makes his read over here to AD Mitchell he reads the safety over the middle
06:35he's got Omar Cooper here does he want to take that shot down the seam or do I want to
06:40try to
06:41give a shot again to AD Mitchell and watch the route AD Mitchell makes here he stops on a dime
06:47and the
06:47ball's already out of Geno's hands that is next level chemistry that's something that you want to
06:52see out of your quarterback and wide receiver especially wide receiver too because we all agree
06:56Garrett Wilson's their wide receiver one but AD Mitchell was playing like a wide receiver one against
07:00this Raiders secondary before he even gets out of his break the ball is out of Geno's hands he's
07:05made his decision I know I can layer this throw over this defender here in the in the mid region
07:12and
07:12then I can get it in between him and this corner trailing over and the throw is perfect it's on
07:17a dime
07:18look at this one two here's AD Mitchell plenty of space between the sideline and again layers it in
07:25there in the perfect spot for AD Mitchell to protect himself make the catch don't worry about trying
07:31to get yards after the catch and this is a third and 11 conversion that goes for almost 20 yards
07:36again
07:37impressive stuff from Geno and AD Mitchell in this game first and 10 now why am I showing you this
07:43play
07:43I really think this is important this is something the Jets were showing on film this past week with
07:48Frank Wright calling out of two tight end splits again it's similar to the other play I showed you
07:53you have Garrett Wilson at the top you have AD Mitchell at the bottom of the screen you have one
07:57you have two tight ends you got one running back one running back two tight end personnel with two
08:02wide receivers the Jets love operating out of this now they were able to run the ball all day long
08:07with Braylon Allen so it allows them to do a lot of things out of this this formation it keeps
08:12it tight
08:13and close and he motions AD Mitchell to the top of the screen and if you watch the corner does
08:19not
08:19follow now that usually is an indicator is it man is it zone that helps the quarterback determine
08:24where I'm going with the football and how I'm going to read this defense the defender does not follow
08:30AD Mitchell in motion so now that tells you hey that might be zone coverage there but again they have
08:35another defender here so they could switch up at the top of the screen defenses play split coverages
08:40all the time they could play zone on one side of the field a man on the other but AD
08:43Mitchell
08:44motions across the formation this corner does not trail and now Geno Smith's got his indicator of
08:51okay here I go it's play action to the running back the tight end motions across as an extra blocker
08:57and what I like about this play so much and why I wanted to show you guys is this is
09:02stuff that you
09:02can do with AD Mitchell because of his speed and how much he can attack that defense and be aggressive
09:08so he motions across and in in the act of being already in running slash jogging formation it makes
09:16it easier for him to get in and out of his breaks and you can be aggressive on your route
09:21running and
09:22I just love the fact again love that Geno has a clean pocket play action the defense is trying to
09:27honor
09:28that but if you look at this guys this is a two-man route downfield right now the Jets have
09:34one two
09:35one tight end blocking the other tight end came across in motion this defender staying home and
09:41this is just a two-man read here for Geno Smith and you got AD Mitchell and Kenyon Sadiq and
09:48watch
09:48what he does here I'm going to take that one-on-one every single time the defender is trailing a
09:54little
09:54two back here I'm going to make a throw in between this zone coverage and watch this throw for Geno
09:59Smith
10:01I mean and and and this is this is something I want you all to pay attention to watch what
10:08AD Mitchell
10:08does to this corner he's got him spinned around he's got him spin spun around and this is a great
10:17throw from Geno I mean this is a dot puts it right on AD Mitchell at the sideline that's a
10:24perfect throw
10:26that's what you saw at West Virginia that's what you saw at the early days of Geno Smith quite a
10:30just
10:31an amazing arm uh gets the ball I mean if you look at where he threw that ball I'm going
10:36to rewind this
10:37back he's throwing this from the 50 and this is on a dot to this 18 yard line that's just
10:47and this is
10:48this is across the field it's a great throw it's a great catch great job by AD Mitchell toe-tapping
10:54it in
10:55and just a a great play design for the Jets they know they have that ability to motion
11:00motion Mitchell across the formation get him in a running uh start and it really allows him to be
11:06aggressive on those routes and he makes the corner spin around and he has no idea where he's going with
11:11the leverage fourth and one this was the touchdown to AD Mitchell I want you to pay attention here to
11:16what the the Raiders are doing defensively and how Geno is getting his read you see that they're
11:22playing man man man across the formation Kenyan Sadiq is right here or Mason Taylor sorry is tight
11:29right here you got Isaiah Davis in the backfield with Geno you got four defenders plus another two
11:34plus another three you got seven defenders in the box but look back here everyone this defender is
11:40playing up in the box I got one safety here I have AD Mitchell one-on-one on fourth and
11:45one
11:46so what am I going to do if I'm Geno Smith I'm going to watch this defender and as he's
11:51creeping up
11:52the ball is getting snapped oh I see him I see him he's coming up we're about to snap the
11:58ball I know
11:59I have a one-on-one with AD Mitchell on fourth and one I can take my shot with him
12:03in a fade route
12:04into the end zone for a touchdown and again this is just watch this I mean I'm not even going
12:09to say
12:10anything watch AD Mitchell on this route cooks this corner I mean look at this
12:20if I'm Geno Smith he's already seeing they have no safety back here there's no help
12:25they know I have AD Mitchell on a fade route one-on-one I'm going to take that shot every
12:30single time
12:33because of that talent because of that special route running ability this is something I don't
12:39think the Colts understood with AD Mitchell and how to use him and this is why I think the Jets
12:43got
12:43a real special wide receiver this can be an elite wide receiver too for you if I can do this
12:49in the
12:50red zone with my one-on-one matchups I mean layer in a perfect throw it's it was a great
12:59play at the
12:59time it was fourth down execution something the Jets have not been doing well at all this year it's just
13:05a credit to AD Mitchell and Geno Smith the chemistry that those two have developed credit to Geno for
13:10recognizing that they weren't playing another defender back there in a safety and it was one-on-one
13:14and I'm taking my fade route with my wide receiver now this last play I'm going to show you for
13:20AD
13:20Mitchell was his best catch of the day it was fourth quarter first and 10 the Jets are trailing at
13:26this
13:26point and they're playing three wide receiver concept one tight end one running back Geno Smith makes a
13:33great decision on this play you have Garrett Wilson at the bottom of the screen Omar Cooper at the top
13:38and AD Mitchell now is in the slot he's not on the outside and watch what the Jets do to
13:42make this
13:43route concept work I got AD Mitchell getting past this defender I got Omar Cooper at the top I got
13:49two
13:49tight ends back here and Garrett Wilson has the corner one-on-one here the Raiders have to honor
13:56Garrett Wilson it's what every defense knows I cannot let number five beat me so what has
14:02Geno done all day Sunday against the Raiders he's gone to Adonai Mitchell and called his number
14:07and watch how aggressive Adonai gets on this safety the route is awesome he's giving a little
14:12outside shimmy back to the inside clean pocket for Geno Smith and he delivers the best ball of the day
14:19and I've shown you some great throws here from Geno Smith today but watch he layers it between not one
14:25but two safeties here and he's like I'm gonna take my guy AD Mitchell who's been coming up
14:30clutch all day today and layers an insane throw over the defender I'm going to show you the next
14:36angle here from the high end zone look but this route from AD Mitchell again you're talking about
14:42where Geno released the ball from this throw he's releasing it from the 30 yard line and he completes
14:48this pass for well over 40 yards here almost 50 yards almost 60 yards this was an incredible throw
14:56and AD Mitchell comes up with an amazing catch and I want you guys to see this throw from Geno
15:01Smith
15:02there's AD Mitchell he's reading the coverage in the back end with the two safeties and you know what
15:07he's like I'm gonna get my guy the ball what I mean guys look at that I got the safety
15:14trailing here
15:14this safety's trying to get on him AD's already got the inside leverage go make a play 15
15:23and he's pumped up because he knew I was torching that Raiders secondary all day
15:30AD Mitchell ended up with seven catches 142 yards and one touchdown like I said this was easily his
15:38best game as a New York Jet and if the Jets can somehow tap into this every single week you
15:46will
15:46make this passing attack one of the best in the NFL the talent's there the potential is there it's
15:52all in a matter of if Geno Smith and Frank Wright can scheme up the touches and targets for Adonai
15:59Mitchell because we know what Garrett Wilson can do we've seen how defenses are going to try to take
16:04him away they are constantly putting safeties over the top to try and take him away we've seen what
16:10Omar Cooper has done in back-to-back weeks before this Raiders game where he can have 100 yard games
16:15the point is though when defenses try to honor and double up on Garrett Wilson or try to scheme to
16:21take him away you have the talent in Adonai Mitchell Omar Cooper and Kenyon Sadiq in this Jets passing
16:28attack where any one of them can expose the defense one-on-one Adonai Mitchell was a throw-in for
16:34that
16:34sauce Gardner trade when it first happened but now we've seen repeated games of this guy can be an elite
16:41wide receiver in the NFL and the talent is real now it's up to the Jets to make sure that
16:46they
16:46continue to go to him game after game week after week because I think this guy can take you to
16:52the
16:52next level as an offense what do you think Jets fans about Adonai Mitchell and what his performance
16:56has been this past week against the Raiders and how they can continue to use him the rest of this
