Gas2No99 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Darrelle Revis fires back at J.R. Smith after Twitter criticism New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis was a topic of discussion during Week 1 of the NFL season when he surrendered a 54-yard touchdown catch to Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green. Green accumulated 12 catches and 180 yards in the Bengals' 23-22 victory. Revis again became the center of attention of the NFL world Thursday night when another wideout he was covering, Buffalo Bills receiver Marquise Goodwin, caught a pass and turned it into an 84-yard touchdown. Revis has been recognized as one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL throughout his career. So it surprised many observers when, through the first two weeks of the regular season, "Revis Island" appeared to be a welcome destination for opposing wide receivers. One particular athlete, free-agent NBA guard J.R. Smith, tweeted his thoughts on what he was seeing Thursday night. Smith's tweet drew Revis' ire, and he fired back Friday.

jetscrazey Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Hey whatever puts a fire in Revis, he's either complacent or not as confident in his catchup speed anymore, and as a result isn't jamming with the frequency he used to. His physicality is what made him so effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 JR Smith will someday soon be living in a fridge box under a Garden State Parkway overpass scrounging nickel deposit bottles to buy his next 22 oz tallboy. In no one day of his entire athletic career has he ever worked as hard nor as been as sharp at his sport as Revis has been on his slowest day. Revis is getting older, but make no mistake, he is still more of a student of his sport than almost any other active NFL player,and works as hard as any of them. If he wasn't rich beyond his great grand kids' needs he could easily be a very good HC someday. F__ JR Smith. What dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Time for Revis to ignore that nonsense and start playing better football. I'd hate to not make the playoffs this year because of a secondary that the org has put a lot of money into. You're supposed to be the Qb on defense and have these guys playing where they are supposed to be not missing assignments which make you look bad. Time for some leadership not a twitter battle with an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebuzzardman Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Revis should remind JR Smith that he used to adept at driving to the lane but now for the last 3 years he's been basing his career on the step back 3 pointer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was an interesting comment and really does give a look see into how he internalizes these things. "Hey F*ck it. I'm still going to the hall of fame! " I would love to see him actually try and recoup some respect as a player here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, it's trash talk/ J.R. won a championship and so did Revis, so the next thing to go after who's is more respected at their craft. Yes it's easy to dump on Revis now, but he was elite for a while. J.R. is a journeyman that happen to be on a LeBron James led team. I'll allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gotten beat for 2 big plays and we're not used to this. Now that's awful to give up two Tds in 2 weeks. As for the rest of his time on the field I wasn't really watching him most of the time I was too embroiled in two close games to watch one player. Someone else might have a better opinion and maybe watched the film and concentrated on the secondary. Overall I think he did ok and played well but I'm open to other ideas on that. As for his personality he was never good speaking and is not good at interviews although he's polite and tries hard. He got the bad rep when he held out and he had a signed contract. And it was a main part of Hard Knocks the year we were on it. He came across as a greedy bastard. A lot of it fell on his legal team including the agents and his uncle.

They are not in the same universe. JR on and off the court has always been in his own universe while Revis has just been a great player.

TuscanyTile2 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 The thing that bothers me is that Revis doesn't say something along of the lines of "it was an aberration". Instead it's like he acknowledges the criticism is correct ("still heading to Canton though") but brags he's had a better career than JR Smith.

TuscanyTile2 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I always defended Revis getting his $$ though. Still do. However, we Jet fans have EVERY RIGHT to criticize him when his play slips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brown Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Let me get this right: someone insults Revis, Revis responds and Jets fans are saying why did he talk about himself are you guys INSANE!! What would you have liked him to say? Come on Guys; Jets fans are so quick to attack their own. Also it would be different if Revis was walking around bragging and talking stuff like Muhammad Ali. He doesn't. Revis is for the most part a humble superstar. He isn't Neon Deion or any such thing so why turn him into that? Is he slipping ? Yes he is but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be afforded his dignity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry CB, but I am of the opinion that an active player, no matter how good, should not be referencing his future induction into Canton. The moniker "Mevis" is well deserved.

I'm of the quiet mode and that is how I played organized sports while my brother talked up a storm. He literally used talk on and off the field of play as a weapon. And hence I hear what you are saying. My more general point is that Jets fans will attack their own no matter what... You literally have posters in another thread defending the facemask grab against BM in the Buffalo game. To me we eat our own and I just wish we didn't .
