Popular Post Defense Wins Championships Posted June 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2021 The greatest coverage CB of All-Time. His ACL injury stole NFL greatness. #24 was robbed of an untouchable career. His 2010 season was just as insane. Not even #21 Sanders shadowed #1 WRs on an island one on one on the outside; because 90% of the time Sanders coaches would line him up against lesser #2 WR's while they rolled coverage over to opposing #1 WRs. Revis Island changed the CB position forever. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets0712 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 During our back to back championship runs. Their was no better player. He singlehandidly took away one side of the field and just shut down the best WR on that team. He was taken for granted what he was going to do and he did it to perfection. For a career. No one was better than Deion at that position Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 He was a very good, HOF worthy DB. Let me say that up-front. With that out of the way, I also continue to think that Revis benefitted from "superstar reputation" as much as his actual play. It's far easier to give up low yards and few TD's when QB's and OCo's are terrified of throwing in your direction. Between his great (at times) play, and his massive, hyped, reputation, as well as the Refs treating him to some degree under "Jordan Rules" when it came to PI, it was obvious that most O-Co's simply preferred to beat up on our other, much less good, DB's rather than even test Revis. And there is a difference between being constantly tested and winning, and not being tested much at all. As Revis got a little older, and O-Co's started testing him, his "elite Revis Island" rep was torn up, he was burned, alot, regularly, in those later years. One wonders if he was tested alot more in those "elite" years if he'd still have been so elite. Maybe he would, it was pre-injuries as well, which surely played a factor in his speedy decline in those later years. Always an interesting topic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defense Wins Championships Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Revis was one of the most physical CBs who ever lived to play the position and also tackled like an MLB. If you out Revis in Sanders era of the 80s/90s? Forget about it. It was much easier for CBs to defend in #21's era than it was in #24's era. Thats an understatement. Revis was the greatest coverage CB of All Time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he would, it was pre-injuries as well, which surely played a factor in his speedy decline in those later years. Always an interesting topic. I think what separates him from most of the other elite cover corners is that he shadowed the team's best receiver. There are some great corners who stuck to one side of the field so QBs just threw to the other side. With Revis, he didn't take a side out, but he took the best receiver on the team out. Forcing the QB to throw to everyone but their best receiver is impressive. Another factor are the rule changes. He played in an era where it's tougher to cover WRs because of all the rule changes. I don't disagree that if QBs took more shots, maybe he's not as dominant as he seemed, but man I've never seen any other CB come close in his generation (in terms of coverage). 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But read deeper, some Jets fans will tell you how that really wasnt true and Revis isnt as good as Jets fans make him out to be. And list all those who were better I've never seen a CB go from one side of the field to the other and shut down a teams #1 WR threat. Ever. Not Sanders, not anyone. Add in the things Revis did that Sanders refused to do like match up against those #1s, like play the run and tackle. Namath, Curtis Martin, Revis, all our best players you can come here and pretty much read the same thing. Jets fans overrate them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
