New York Jets quarterback Bryce Petty is expecting a lot out of his preseason performance.
The second-year signal-caller, who says playing Madden has helped his game, will see plenty of action in the preseason after opening camp as the fourth quarterback on the depth chart.
He's not necessarily looking for a sound, fundamental execution of his mechanics; he just wants to sling it.
"Light it up? Hell yeah. That’s what I want to do," Petty told Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. "I don’t want to make execution sound boring or sound lame. I want to go in there and Brett Favre it. Just do amazing things. That’s the way I feel you kind of have to be.
"There’s got to be some inspiring plays in there and some things that make them say, ‘Wow! Did you see Bryce?’ That’s what I want them to say, (but) I don’t want to play outside of the execution and try to (force) things. Just let things work, but at the same time, I want to ball out, for sure."
It's rare to see exciting quarterback play in preseason action, but that's exactly what Petty will have to provide if he wants to spend the season on the Jets' active roster.
