DC Tom Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Can he make the secondary calls? The coverage has been so execrable since Williams went out that I'm actually less concerned at this point with the safety knowing his job than I am with the safety making sure everyone else knows their job.

BringBackFergy Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Ryan has worked wonders with John Meeks, Duke Williams and Corey Graham. Ed Reed has transformed our safeties into All Pros. Yeah...we should spend $15 mill/yr on Revis as a stop gap. Definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Well I guess if he is willing to learn how to tackle maybe but not at rate JEST overpaid him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 He's no Charles woodson Yeah, he's better. I won't let his most recent play blemish a dominant career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I think that it would be a mistake to pay him a lot to play a position that he has never played after having had a very bad season at a position that he used to excel at.

I think it makes A LOT of sense, especially if the Jets go into the offseason as uncertain at QB as they are now. If it looks like a rebuild the Jets have less incentive to painfully extend and renegotiate his deal and he has less reason to want to stay.

Mr. WEO Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 There are still 2 AFCE teams that Revis has yet to rip off for a year or two. Why not make out three? Git 'er done Terry.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 There are still 2 AFCE teams that Revis has yet to rip off for a year or two. Why not make out three? Git 'er done Terry.... Revis didn't rip the Pats off. That's the only SB they've won since 2004 and it's no coincidence that that was the year that Belicheck went all in on free agent corners that offseason. The one thing we as Bills fans have to be thankful for regarding the Patriots is that post being punished for video-taping opponents they have failed to win SB's commensurate with their relative dominance. Belichick giveth on the chalkboard but he also taketh away with his perculiar stands on personnel. In fact, if their success timeline had begun after 2004, their single narrowly-achieved Lombardi in 11 seasons of dominance would be viewed in an Atlanta Braves-esque "unfulfilled dynasty" fashion.

Samwell Tarly Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Instead of over thinking or over paying, why not just get qualified players who are actually NFL caliber safeties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pats went to 2 other SBs without Revis and lost neither because of not having him, nor did they win their last SB because of him. Hey, it's great he has milked so much money out of GMs/owners--he's the maestro. CBs have been doing this for years and it's a testament to the follow of FOs.

You mean those two SB's where Eli Manning and his cast...... Plaxico, Tyree and Manningham........rained on their parade with critical late game plays in the passing game? The SB they won........they made that play at the end. Thanks in great part to Revis taking one side of the field away and fellow FA Browner identifying and jamming the combination route that allowed Butler to get in front of that pass.

BrooklynBills Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 So did anyone read the article where it said his likely salary to his next team would be league minimum based on the offsets in his contract with The Jets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) So did anyone read the article where it said his likely salary to his next team would be league minimum based on the offsets in his contract with The Jets? That's my favorite part of the scenario. Apparently, if the Jets were to cut Revis, we could sign him for the league minimum and the Jets would have to pay him the rest of the $6 million owed to him while he plays in a Bills uni. What an awesome possibility. I don't know if Revis would be a good safety but the cost of the experiment would not be high.

Hmm in 2007 the amazing escape from a sack and Miracle catch wouldn't have changed... maybe Asante on Plaxico instead of god I forget his name... and Maybe Revis makes that INT that Asante dropped. As for the other SB, nah great passes into tight windows, I don't even think Revis could have been any tighter on Mannningham that game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Ive only ever seen the guy really when he plays against buffalo. He always had really good footwork, and that was why he was so dominant. Safety is a spot where we need a cerebral smart player. It could be a former corner, but it needs to be a smart one and preferably a vocal leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
