My 3 Favorite Teddy Bridgewater Plays of the 2014 Season
By Nick Fritz
This play took place in week four. I remember begging for a replay to see how on earth Bridgewater avoided the pressure.
Breakdown: Teddy took the snap from the shotgun and completed a five-step drop. He looked right in hopes of a deep pass to his receiver running a fade route. It wasn’t there right away and Charlie Johnson got completely worked by defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux. Teddy sensed the pressure and jumped up in the pocket only to find an incoming Peria Jerry. He bounced backwards to avoid the tackle, spun off of Matt Kalil and then rushed for a ten yard gain. This is actually a huge and possibly gamechanging play, because it turned a 3rd and 14 into a 1st and 10 in field-goal range.
Top quarterbacks find ways to avoid pressure.
