Okay, pardon the stupid question, but what would happen, cap-wise, if we just cut Revis now? Is there any savings at all? Maybe I'm just reacting from the game having just ended, but at this moment I'm thinking back and it seems to me this game isn't even close if you take away Revis getting burned. It isn't that I'm not happy with the win, but this game shouldn't have been this close just like last week should have been a loss! Okay, I'll get down off my soapbox....
No, no cap savings, and in fact, we'd wind up having to cut players I believe, because the $15 million (or at least $8 million of it) would escalate into this season's cap.
Revis missed lots of time with hand injury still not 100% and is still the best corner in the game. From Brandon Marshall post game interview NFL network. I believe.
No savings. We can't cut Revis until next year, and even then there'd be a substantial dead money hit.
I'm not sure it would as the season has already started. I think the extra 8M would go on next year's cap (though I could be wrong).
Thank you for the info. I was afraid this was the situation. So we are stuck with Revis for the year. So this brings me to my next question: for anyone who watches more closely than I, was this Revis getting burned or was this a failure of the safeties to cover? I know we are all quick to jump on Revis, myself included, but if we are stuck with him I am hoping that I'm wrong about his decline. I'm not trying to be dense, this is another honest question: why is a hand injury healing from months ago still having this much impact on Revis's game? I once had a cyst out in my wrist and it took a year before it felt normal again, so I get these things can take time. But even there I had nearly full use after two or three months. Not to mention that Revis isn't running or pivoting on his hands, right? Anyway, I've seen many people mention this injury as a reason why he has slowed down and I'm trying to wrap my mind around it. Is it because he can't jam the wideout effectively? That's all I've been able to come up with....
The bomb to Goodwin was Revis's fault, or Bowles's if you want to fault him for putting Revis in single coverage against a speedy receiver. There was no safety help on that play, but a $17M corner shouldn't need safety help against a #2 receiver.
I think it was 3rd and 15. 100% Revis fault. No one gets behind you. He looks bad through 2 games, concerning bad. Like Revis is costing us. A weird, unlikely spot to find Revis in.
CB is 80% hands. Revis has been in solid position most of the plays he is getting beat on that are his fault. Also remember how it took him a few weeks after his hold out to be back to Revis. If he isn't back by week 5 then I'm worried.
Perhaps it would be better to put Revis on the #1 receiver but give him deep safety help? If he doesn't have to worry about getting beat over the top I feel like he can still make plays.
You don't understand the little things he gets away with using his hands that make him great. Can't do those things sure you will get burnt, esspecially considering his legs arint what they used to be due to age.
He obviously hasn't played well at all but he certainly still has value to this team. Wouldn't be surprised if he turns it around either Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Revis is very much so still Revis he's just older and the island is shut down. No more putting that man on an island. He still knows what a WR is going to do the second he leave the huddle, he has the posistion down to a science.. give him help up top and nobody will dare throw it underneath on him ( because he won't be playing 20 yards off scared to get burned) . We gave him safety help yesterday and the bills offense was trash ever since (besides the break down play to Greg Salas)
Revis is not still Revis, and Bowles needs to acknowledge that and start giving him help. It's odd seeing him so human so I don't know if this is overaction but right now he seems like one of the biggest weak points on the team which is bizarre. Hopefully he gets beat up in the media again and ups his game because of it and turns it around.
