GREENBEAN Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 There's blood in the waster down there in Tampa man. I feel for them and know it's probably being amplified to some degree by the media, but either way I can't help wondering if Revis regrets being such c0ck gobbler for all that time and realizes what the type of team he tried to hold hostage. Greg Schiano's time in Tampa Bay is dwindling. Silver: Inside the Bucs' sinking ship How bad is it in Tampa? "Like being in Cuba," says one ex-Buc. Michael Silverexplains why Greg Schiano doesn't fit in the NFL. READ One of the main reasons behind the 0-7 team's implosion is the lack of locker room cohesion between the coach and his players. Schiano continues to claim everything is peachy,while we hear the opposite leak out almost daily. After Thursday night's disheartening 31-13 loss to theCarolina Panthers, Buccaneers cornerback Darrelle Revis was asked by WTVT-TV reporter Kevin O'Donnell if the team believed in the coaching staff. "I don't know," Revis responded. That isn't exactly a rousing response. Revis essentially punted on a chance to support the coach. "I don't know." Revis continued, per JoeBucsFan.com. "... I don't think guys are literally going out there and trying to do their own thing. You know, in every game there are mistakes up and down the board. You know, the word that we have to get to and we have to focus on is consistency. That's all. And at this point, that's a hard word for us to try to do, to try to do that, to be consistent." One thing that has been consistent is the apparent malcontent streaming from the Bucs' locker room. When a veteran leader like Revis passes on a chance to support the coaching staff, even if it would have rung a bit hollow after the loss, it's telling. Unfortunately, it's also not a surprise.

Jetscode1 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Warren Sapp: Darrelle Revis 'has never been a team player' by Brad Biggs April 22, 02013 Print This There is a state of excitement in Tampa for the arrival of Darrelle Revis but not everyone is on board the pirate ship after the blockbuster trade Sunday that acquired the shutdown cornerback from the New York Jets. Warren Sapp, who will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer, was lukewarm at best after the Bucs traded the 13th overall pick in Thursday night’s first round and a pick that will likely be a third rounder in 2014 for Revis. “He's selfish and he's never been a team player,” Sapp said, according to Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune. “We didn't win the championship that way. Derrick Brooks and I always cared more about the team than ourselves.” But ex-Bucs safety John Lynch, a teammate of Sapp’s, did like the move in a secondary that has already been bolstered by the signing of safety Dashon Goldson this offseason. “I played with Champ Bailey in his prime (in Denver) and I know what a cornerback like Revis can do for a defense,'' Lynch said, according to Kaufman. “Like Champ, Revis is a guy who can neutralize No. 1 receivers, so you don't have to dedicate extra resources to stopping that guy. Darrelle Revis is a big-time football player. He's a game-changer.” For $16 million per season – or $1 million per game – Revis better be a game changer because in the salary-cap world of the NFL he’s got a big piece of the pie.

Jettington Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Soon as the Bucs cut him....We're getting Revis back for 8-9 million a year, next year I was thinking the same thing, if this Revis drama has proven one thing to the rest of the league it's that paying a CB (no matter how talented) elite QB money is just plain stupid. If the Bucs fire Schiano & the GM, Revis is a goner. The contract has no guaranteed money, and so it's the first the asset a new GM would look at terminating to make cap room in a rebuilding phase. If that happens, Revis may very well end up back in NY at much less money. I'd like for this to happen especially if the FO decides to go cut Cromartie and roll with Milliner and Revis in a hypothetical scenario. Realistically though, you know there's some team out there that is going to be foolish enough to give him something close to what he's getting now.

Revis would probably support the move because it gets him away from Schiano and into a system where he's used properly. Then again, if they fire Schiano midseason all bets are off.

Revis would probably support the move because it gets him away from Schiano and into a system where he's used properly. Then again, if they fire Schiano midseason all bets are off. Well, if it's a situation where they just up and cut him or ask him to take a pay cut (lol) you know he's going to be gone, and a free agent for the first time in his career. If that happens, I think Revis has enough pride to want to go somewhere where he can have notoriety again; especially after Richard Sherman was essentially upstaging him while being on a good team while Revis is on an awful team and being misused. Speaking of him being misused I was shaking my head last night to see that Revis was not locked onto Steve Smith on every play, I think in one sequence he had Smith on 1st and 2nd down, Schiano switched to zone on third and long and Smith got the first down catch while Revis was nowhere near him; absolutely ridiculous. It makes me think that either the GM was the one who wanted Revis and Schiano doesn't know how to use him, or that Schiano is so committed to his system that he doesn't care about how to get the best out of Revis.

Yep. Smith found the soft spot in the middle, there was no pressure on the QB, and away the Panthers went. Schiano is one of the biggest NFL Head Coaching busts of all time.

If he has any pride as a competitive athlete, that is. Not even about forgoing money in my opinion, there are other ways to make money as a star athlete, tax questions aside, I want to know if Revis would have made more money on the Jets if he accepted a 10 million dollar contract + endorsements for being a NY star athlete. I've never seen Revis on a single commercial or advertisement since he became a Buccaneer, maybe they have some local ones in Tampa, but I don't know. You have to wonder what the situation in Tampa is doing to his psyche as a player, he has never been in the locker room of a losing team since his rookie season (last year he was injured and wasn't around the team presumably). Maybe he really is feeling some remorse about how things went down; if the things coming out of the Buccaneers locker room are true, forgoing a few million a year to spare myself that horror doesn't look to bad if I'm already set for life financially. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
