Revis wasnt the best CB in the league unti Rex and Dennis Thurman made him the best. Rex must be telling Tanny that they can work their magic with AC and Wilson. Dennis Thurman is the BEST secondary coach in the league. Period. I trust our coaching staff. The only thing I'm worried about is a team like the Colts going three and four wide and beating Drew Coleman and Dwight Lowery. Kyle Wilson will be solid by playofftime as a number 2, and hes definitely an upgrade over any of our #2 CBs last season. BUT if our pass rush, JT and maybe Vernon can make the difference andn get to the QB, that half of a second quicker and make that hit.
the bottom line is that if Revis doesnt become more reasonable, he will not play this season. The JETS know this and are preparing for it. I'm sure Rex believes and the other teammates believe, they will do good without Revis on the field.
That's what Mike Devito said on Sirius today, and he sure as hell sounded like he meant it. He said "Obviously, we're still hoping we have Darrelle out there, and we wish we had Calvin, but we'll win either way."
I like the confidence DeVito has. He's really come on strong, and I think Kroul take the same path as him. I love what I've seen so far from a UDFA. He'll spend time on the PS worse case scenario.
I hate Florio but this is interesting: Vincent Jackson Agents Demand Retraction from San Diego Union Tribune Vincent Jackson, agents demand retraction from San Diego Union-Tribune Posted by Mike Florio on August 30, 2010 7:04 PM ET The contract dispute between the Chargers and receiver Vincent Jackson has expanded. Now immersed in the morass is the San Diego Union-Tribune and its online portal, SignOnSanDiego.com. The publications have received a letter demanding a retraction of a recent report alleging that Jackson is receiving monetary support from his agents, Neil Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod, during his holdout. The letter was sent by attorney Howard Weitzman of Kinsella, Weitzman, Iser, Kump, & Aldisert in Santa Monica. Weitzman is an experienced and very high-powered Hollywood lawyer, whose clients have included John DeLorean, Michael Jackson, Marlon Brando, Morgan Freeman, Magic Johnson, O. J. Simpson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ivan Reitman, and Sean Combs. "League and sources in the agent community have confirmed that his ability to forego a salary is due to the financial backing of Schwartz and Feinsod, with the understanding the agents will be paid back after Jackson receives the mega contract they are seeking," Kevin Acee of the Union-Tribune reported on August 24. Weitzman explained to PFT by phone that the article "inferred Vincent was not capable of managing his finances and that Neil and Jonathan are giving him financial backing so that he won't negotiate and sign with the Chargers." Weitzman also called the assertion "false." As to Jackson, Weitzman said, "He has managed his finances well. This could cause some G.M.'s down the road to look at him differently." As to Schwartz and Feinsod, Weitzman explained that the alleged falsehood "infers that these agents have told him, 'Forget about it, we'll back you. You don't have to worry about making money. We'll get you more down the road.'" Though the agents already represent Jackson and thus aren't prohibited by NFLPA regulations from giving or loaning money to Jackson, the report also potentially creates, in our view, a sense that Schwartz and Feinsod fall into the Nick Saban "pimp" club, paying anyone and everyone now if it means making more money later. Weitzman has demanded only a retraction, and he has requested a response with a specific time frame. If the retraction is not made, legal action possibly will be pursued. In our assessment, the letter from Weitzman could be aimed at addressing the perception (accurate or otherwise) that the Union-Tribune has sided with the Chargers as to the Jackson holdout. Then again, threatening to sue the publication may not be the best way to get the Union-Tribune to see Jackson's side of the broader story
Good evening gentlemen....so I'm leaving work from the city, I go downstairs and in the exchange is none other then d revis taking a look at some ridiculous watch....I work in the jewelry district and it was weird running into him he was surrounded by 2 bodyguards and a ridiculous man in all gucci outfit....why's this guys buying watches if he's not playin football this year?
The Darrelle Revis Holdout Thread (Update: No Update) That's it. I'm heading over to talk to that lawyer tomorrow and find out what he knows about Revis.
I hope the headline in this thread changes to The Darrelle Revis Holdout Thread (Update: Revis buys expensive watches)
I know the FOs with both teams are not at zero percent fault, but those two just make it so easy to know they are the bigger problem. I gotta know what their sales pitch is to justify how they go about business, because its embarrassing. I've never seen agents go this far to try to get their way. I'd be making fun of them at the negotiating table, because its truly sad.
When was this? By all accounts nobody knows where he is. By one account he is in Aliquipa working out. According to TGG he is in New York...... He is like the Abominable Snowman. (A big white dude, the anti-Woodhead)........
DeVito reminds me of Klecko a bit. He's nowhere near as good a player but he's got a good motor and he doesn't give up on plays ever, even when he's out of the play. I was hoping he'd take the RDE spot with Douglas out of the picture and it looks like that's happened, although the Jets will probably rotate enough people on the front that it will be hard to pinpoint who the starters other than Jenkins and Ellis are. Jenkins and Pouha will switch off a lot and I'm wondering if Pouha will also spell DeVito on some downs so the Jets can get two wide bodies on the line at the same time.
Can someone please PM me when this situation is resolved. I can't be bothered checking on it daily. *saunters back to the BS forum*
