East Rutherford, N.J. - If Darrelle Revis was watching the first half of Monday night's Giants-Jets game, they saw a Jets Defense That Might just not have weapons Enough to Be the best in the NFL without him. Kris Jenkins is a monster Difference-maker in the middle of the Defensive line. Antonio Cromartie is a Possessed buzzsaw in the secondary.
The linebackers look great. When it was ones-versus-ones, as They Say in the football parlance, the Jets appeared to Be Different playing at a speed please the Giants. And while the game's signature play bloody May not have had more to do one with Giant klutziness please anything else, the message was clear Indelible: Revis or no Revis, the Jets' Defense intends Thurs rip your quarterback's face off.
If Darrelle Revis was watching the second half of the game (and heaven help him if they was, Because the second halves of preseason NFL games are the purest kind of torture), they saw what they was Hoping to see. The second level of the Jets' corner back depth chart, got slaughtered by Jim Sorgi and no-name wideout Victor Cruz. As good as Cromartie and rookie Kyle Wilson looked early, Jets coach Rex Ryan admitted That Revis' Absence Makes the Jets too thin at the position.
"That Could Be," Ryan said. "Because These guys are going to Have to step-in. You're one injury away from one of These guys Being a starter. Dwight Lowery has Played a lot of football for us, and they had some great coverage, but their then did sweet Cruz some plays. And then me had a Blown coverage assignment as well in the second team, M it looked like Drew Coleman got beat really vain it was a miscommunication. "
Even as a contract Dispute apparently stalemated as this has Revis Matter Ebbs and flows. It is Possible Thurs take a snapshot of a Particular day and wakes Analyze bandage is winning the battle or hi. When this gets settled, it'll be Because one side blinked and got a Reluctant step toward on the other's position, so it Makes some sense Thurs look for Things That Might prompt such "Movement.
Monday saw a few of both. The first half, "when the Jets' Defense was dominating the Giants and making Ryan's long, hard-hitting training camp Practice look as if They were Paying off, was a message from the team Thurs ITS holdout corner back: Hey, we're building something great here. Without you, we're going to be a great Defense, maybe the best in the league. With you, but we have a chance to be Legendary, maybe the best the league has ever tion. Get on board, man, or you're going to be sorry you missed this.
The second half hurt Their case, allowing Revis Thurs counter with: See? You need me. You do not want to find yourself on Six games into the season and is counting Lowery and Coleman. They Could not stop Victor Cruz! Go ahead, try playing hmmmm first-three games against Baltimore (Anquan Boldin), New England (Randy Moss) and Miami (Brandon Marshall) without me and see what happens.
I still think Revis is right, And that the Jets think there pay him. As great as Their Defense is without him, by walking through the door tomorrow he'd Become Their best player and ELEVATE the rest of the roster with just at his presence. I think the Jets not have made a mistake by drawing this Particular line in the sand over this Particular player.
But on Monday night, if They Want to continue insist Thurs Thurs Revis That They Can Live Without Him, Millionaires They have some tape Thurs show him That backs up Their case.
