eme123 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I've seen alot of Jets games over the past few years. I've seen Revis make some great plays, I've seen some ball just fall into his hands, and I've seen him get beat. The media pumps him up a lot. I don't know if he's so good that you don't throw to his side of the field. Members of our local media seem to think the best game plan is not to throw near him. The local media has proven their lack of football knowledge. We all know how much the national media knows about the Bills. So should we believe them when it comes to Revis? Is he that good?

So you believe the reason that coaches game plan around not throwing at Revis is because the media makes him out to be more of a player than he really is?

CBD Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 He locks down the best receivers in the league. I think he's that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) He's good but he gets away with a lot. The incident against Miami was a good first step in shining a light on this and leading to more consistent rules application.

Dorkington Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Revis is good, and also gets the benefits of a lot of non calls. SJ will have his work cut out for him, luckily we have other weapons to use as well. It's not going to be an easy game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eme123 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 I probably should make my point clearer. Revis is a pro bowl corner. He's good! Does that mean we don't throw at him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting what jets will do if we don't throw at him but other bills WRs catch fire and we get ahead. Will they move him to jones ( assuming he's back) or Nelson where he'd have a physical mismatch or Roosevelt where it would be a major concession putting him on such an unheralded guy. This scenario has the possibility of playing out given how well fitz involves the entire Corp. On a team with flexibility like ours them focusing on one guy will be a liability. And oh yeah there's freddie coming out of the backfield that Revis can't so anything about, other than get run over Edited November 1, 2011 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Most refs around the league want to have his babies I have noticed that often too...and Flowers last night, for the Cheifs. Both are really good, but they seem to get away with a lot more than the average DB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phlegm Alley Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I have watched a bunch of Jets games this year and he is a good corner, but every corner can be beaten. I wouldn't make it a habit to constantly throw his way, but I would pick my spots. He has a greater propensity of being beaten to the inside.

I know chan or buddy would never do this but if we had a Phil Jackson type he would point this out before the game, putting the spotlight on refs and Revis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Obviously Revis is very good but I think the refs buy in to the media hype on him. Clearly they know it's Revis and not some unheralded DB because they allow him plenty of leeway on hand fighting and his physical style. Most DB's get a flag if they are even in the vicinity of the WR a split second early...Revis gets the benefit of the doubt imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaBill Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 YES, he's the best corner in the league, but as someone else said, he can be beat for decent yardage over the middle. I think our best bet will be to utilize CJ as a flex player to mismatch with their 4th/5th db or lb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opfball91 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 With some of the picks Fitz is prone to throwing and some of the picks Revis is prone to making call me slightly skeptical at throwing the ball his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaattMaann Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Ive said it before and ill say it again, because of our offense and because of how Rexy has played Revis against similar style spread offenses (like the Patriots), Revis will most likely NOT just be locked onto Stevie all game, they will put Revis on an island on whichever side of the field they choose to lock down that entire side, and worry about the other 2/3rds of the field...Stevie will still get his catches, as will all our other WRs... against teams with one stud WR (Andre Johnson/Calvin Johnson/Fitzgerald) then they match Revis up 1 on 1 all game and take away their best player...on a team that runs an open offense that doesnt channel/live and die through one player (like us), they will take away one side of the field by using Revis like that and to answer the OP, YES, Revis is that good (and its good coaching/scheme as well) I would be SHOCKED if they give Stevie that much respect to "waste" Revis on just him considering the Bills propensity to spread the love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
