If you are unable to enjoy anything and still harp on something, that he had every right to do, then I feel sorry for you. This is the NFL, players get injuries, so the fuck what? The Jets just had a great game against a hated division rival and we have to slog through the Same Old Jets Fans retarded nonsense. Thanks
.... That's like getting a car wash just before going to the store and returning home, parking your car outside your house prior leaving on a month's vacation to the Bahamas.
I'd be fine with resting DR next week if it's a day to day thing... Miamis pass O isn't very impressive so far this year. It could be much more than just a day to day thing though, so prepare for life After Revis (again).
nobody is making you slog through anything. feel free to ignore the facts all you like. feel free to defend players who are not prepared to play football. perhaps you think his injury is simply a coincidence and the fact that he choose to hold out has nothing to do with his being too fragile to get the job done. from my perspective he is the one who decided to hold out. he is the one who insisted on being pd top dollar. i expect him to be ready to play football and earn that huge salary - and he got burned today for a td and he isn't physically prepared to play ball. thats on him. i am psyched by this win and love beating bellichik - but i am definately ticked that our star is physically unable to play and i think its definately related to his decision to hold out.
The holdout could have easily contributed to the injury, but we dont know that. Injuries happen. I just hope hes not out for more then a game or two. Very proud of our defense in the 2nd half, but we need Revis to win a super bowl.
He had tightness in his hamstring that was aggravated during the game today. If I were a betting man I'd say that the tightness in the first place was caused by the holdout.
No question about it. After he returned, everyone said "watch out for hamstring injuries" that's what happens when you are not in football shape. And low and behold, hamstring injury. We had a great game today, Sanchez looked great. But Revis is still a prick.
We are all extremely happy about beating the Pats. In fact, for me, nothing feels better than beating those classless jerks. But to criticize other posters for legitimate concerns about Revis' ability and readiness to play this year makes you look petty and ignorant. The simple fact is that he did not have every right to hold out. He made a bad selfish decision to hold out so early in his career when the Jets have a chance to have great season. He could have come to camp like the rest of the team and potentially received the same contract. We all understand that players get hurt, but at the same time, training camp has a purpose. Players don't run around in 90 degree heat twice a day for 6 weeks for no reason. I cannot believe that you and others are so blind to anything negative surrounding this holdout and the potential impact on this team. I thought you were smarter than that. If people can critcize the QB for his play last week and criticize the CS for the game plan and criticize Greene for not playing to his potential, they can certainly criticize Revis for holding out and then appearing to not be ready for the season physically.
You are not permitted to say that. That makes you a bad fan. Please stop. Revis can do no wrong. You must love and worship him.
I think were gonna want Revis for the Vikings game. I got a strong feeling that after the Vikings started 0-2 going out and signing Vincent Jackson is gonna be there top priority. And since that games week 5 hell be eligible to start. Ill def feel better with Revis on VJ since who knows what Favres capable of with a competent receiver.
He wasn't prepared to play? Did you miss the entire first half or just conveniently forget that he basically shut Moss down? Don't bother to answer that. I know holding Moss to 2 catches was showing all Jets fans, excuse me, showing you, that he was woefully unprepared. Especially, when that one play was a busted play when the Jets weren't set. It was smart heads up play by Brady.... He worked his ass off while he wasn't with the team. You know how I know he worked his ass off? Rather than be a silly uninformed poster ( like you), I know plenty of people that saw him here in South Florida. Most that verified this were not Jets fans. I know he was working out 3 plus hours a day trying to simulate game conditions, for fact. See the thing is, I understand why Revis held out. Did I like it? No. As a fan did it bother me? Yes, actually it did. I just look at it pragmatically, it was his right, he exercised his right, and got a good deal for both himself and the team. He plays his ass off when he is on the field, give if a f-ing rest already. This goes for White Shoes as well............
The thing about it is, even with a healthy Revis, you can make a pretty good case for using Cromartie on bigger receivers like Moss and Marshall anyway. Theoretically, at least. Week 2 Cromartie is an ideal matchup for bigger wideouts, Week 1 Cromartie is a disaster. Anyway, I'm hoping that Cromartie's performance today with Revis out has changed the outlook of the coaching staff a little bit. They need to think a little less about how great Revis is, and a little more about how best to match up against another team. Because given a choice between Revis on Moss and Cromartie and a safety on Welker, or Cro and a safety on Moss and Revis on Welker, gotta say, I'll take the latter. Cro has the size and speed to contain Moss, and Revis seems like a perfect fit to shadow Welker.
You could absolutely make a good case for having Cromartie cover Marshall... if Miami actually had anyone else on their team who could catch the ball. But since they dont it would only make sense to put Revis on him
Marshall is one of the most physical WR's in the league and is great after the catch, I don't trust Cro on him. Cro got his ankles broken by that TE Hernandez today, imagine what Marshall could do against him. If Revis plays than absolutely you put Revis on him.
This is where you and I disagree. I don't think holding out is a right. Players get fair contracts all the time without holding out. As for him working out, I don't doubt he did. But unless he had a bunch of NFL players working out with him with full contact, it simply does not simulate training camp. We can agree to disagree whether Revis was ready for this season. Unfortunately, I think the CS putting him on Mason Monday night and him leaving at halftime today with a hamstring injury indicates that the hold out left him unprepared. The vitriol from you and others aimed at anyone who dares criticize Revis is getting ridiculous, however. There is room for criticism and the hold out (and the resultant contract) makes him a legitimate target for scrutiny and, if deserved, criticism. Thus far, he is not the player he was at the end of last season. I would prefer he earned his huge contract and he doesn't do that covering Mason and sitting on the sidelines with an pulled hammy.
Well Rex said that he should have put Revis on Boldin more often. He admitted it was a mistake and he looked good in the game (no catches allowed). And considering that Boldin isn't a burner who's gonna run go routes all game he could have manned up Boldin all game. So in that sense I don't think he hurt the team directly, I suppose he caused the coaching staff's confidence in him to waver but Rex admitted it shouldn't have so I put that on Rex. The hamstring injury is another issue entirely tho
yes he might of been training, but I guarantee he didnt train anywhere near as hard by himself as he would of going to training camp (hence the name). Like EVERYBODY said during the Hanesworth drama, "Nothing gets you into better football shape then football"
