flgreen Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Darrelle Revis was sent home Tuesday for tardiness By Ben Volin | GLOBE STAFF OCTOBER 22, 2014 FOXBOROUGH — Bill Belichick has a specific set of rules that his players must abide by, and Darrelle Revis discovered Tuesday that being a superstar doesn’t buy you any leeway. Revis, playing his first season in New England following seven years with the Jets and Buccaneers, was absent from Tuesday’s practice, but not for health reasons. According to three league sources, Revis arrived late to the Patriots facility that morning, and Belichick sent him home for the day instead of allowing him to participate in practice and meetings. The Patriots were off from Saturday to Monday following last Thursday’s win over the Jets, and Revis didn’t show up on time when the players reconvened at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. One source close to Revis said Revis has accepted responsibility for his actions and understands that the team’s rules apply to all players. It is unclear how late Revis arrived to the facility. The Patriots declined comment. Revis was back at practice Wednesday. The Patriots were not required to put out an injury report for Tuesday’s practice or explain why any players were absent. Belichick didn’t make a big announcement to the rest of the team about sending Revis home, but one source said, “The message was definitely sent. The rules apply to everybody.” Belichick has a history of sending players home for tardiness. In 2009, he sent four players home after that arrived late to the facility during a December snowstorm: Adalius Thomas, Derrick Burgess, Randy Moss, and Gary Guyton. This past January, Belichick grew fed up with linebacker Brandon Spikes and placed him on injured reserve three days after Spikes was late to a team meeting, also during a snowstorm. Spikes, who played through a knee injury for all 16 games in the regular season, tweeted a photo of his snow-covered car on the Friday before the Patriots’ first-round bye, and was placed on IR that Monday, five days before the home playoff game against the Colts. Revis, 29, has one interception, four passes defended, and 23 tackles in seven games this season, while playing in a team-high 94 percent of snaps. Technically he is signed here through the 2015 season, but most league insiders doubt that the Patriots will pick up his $12 million option bonus this March, which would make him a free agent. Revis signed his contract with the Patriots — which will pay him $12 million for this season — in March shortly after being released by Tampa Bay. Revis’s camp initially reached out to the Jets about a reunion, but after being rebuffed by Jets general manager John Idzik, Revis turned his attention to the Patriots.

heymangold Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Theres no chance. I wish it would happen too, but its not. if Rex is still around it's going to happen. he's the best available CB in next years class. he won't make 15 mill like he's making this year.

Rex was here this year, and we have more salary space than anyone. And we needed a corner. Next week Dee and Dex are back, and Rex won't be. The days of Revis as a Jet are over. With our luck he is a Giant next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanInDenver Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 So the media was covering the Geno late to the meeting for almost a week. Whats the over/under on how many days the Beli/Revis situation would be covered ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the over/under on how many days the Beli/Revis situation would be covered ? Yeah well the punishment for revis was handled in house. With the jets the story was how the team did nothing to geno for being late. That was the story. If rex said "geno is sitting the first quarter for being late," the story wouldve died. Instead it became about the teams lack of response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead it became about the teams lack of response. One yer we benched Braylon Edwards for an entire quarter for a alleged DUI. Then the story for a week was how it was not enough. A few months down the road a Giants player got a DUI. Didn't hear much noise about it. No national news story. No fake outrage. The silence in the sports media was deafening. So punishing Geno would not have been an end to the story. Then the story would be if the punishment was enough or not. Its the JETS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media would've dragged it out for at least 4 days or so especially since we lost. I mean just look at the Harvin deal. Its something that almost all of us perceive as positive yet were hearing how the Jets made another mistake on a boneheaded locker room cancer type receiver.

Lil Bit Special Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 patriots are a winning team so they get favorable media coverage. jets suck as an organization so they get negative media coverage. Boston media was salivating earlier this season after the pats were blown out by the chiefs... they were hoping it was time to turn negative. unfortunately for them the pats have won 3 in a row and its a knob slobbering fest all over again.
