Our buddy Erik Manassy of Jets Twit has compiled a table to show the success or lack of, that receivers have had this season on the Island, he also looks at a tweet today by everyone's favourite number 85, very entertaining stuff, so head over to read that, but here is the table that was compiled:

Seeing it all laid out like that, really does make you appreciate just what he has done this season. Very few cornerbacks in the NFL match up man to man on pretty much every single play against the opposing teams top receiving threat.

Wayne's missed opportunities
I’ve been thinking about those plays where Reggie Wayne seemingly broke away from Revis, where the announcers kept saying Manning’s throws were off. I think they were off because Wayne had to do a little something different to get Revis away from him, and so was not running routes the way he normally would. He was trying to constantly trick Revis, and that’s why Manning couldn’t get the ball where Reggie would normally be. It wasn’t simply that Peyton was off. It was the Revis effect.
Take a look at all the other throws away from Revis Island. Peyton didn’t look off there, did he?
and the home of the... JETS!!!

He did miss that one to Clark.
I don’t know though. Revis did look beat a couple times. But at the same time it wasnt like Wayne was lighting it up while he was in there. Maybe Wayne would have had a few more catches; maybe Revis would have gotten a pick 6. We’ll never know.
Revis MVP!
This is China Tim. I’m writing from the Forbidden City—Beijing. I can’t see the games here, but from my limited perspective, I’ve never known of a professional cornerback doing what Revis is doing in, dare I say, the History of NFL. Primetime was a great cover guy, but he didn’t tackle. Others get beat sometimes or have a bad game. But Revis is No. 1. If Jets make playoffs with top-ranked defense, Revis has to be Defensive MVP. I hope all the voters know what Revis is doing for New York.
I agree with you their Tim, I think one of the main aspects that was going to hold him back was if the Jets didn’t make the play-offs. I know that might sound silly to some as he can’t control what the offence does, but I think some voters definitely think that way. Dumerville is starting to worry me a little bit but if they were going to hold the Jets not getting to the post season against Revis then they need to hold Dumerville to the same standards if Denver don’t make it. Unfortunately I feat that the voters are stat driven, and while the stats above are beyond impressive, they will look at the interception’s and forced fumbles Woodson has gotten and vote that way.
Revis for defensive player of the year, if he shuts down 85 this Sunday then their can be no other choice.

Even if Dumerville is deserving he would only get the rookie nod at best. Maybe Cushing could give him a run for his money.
Woodson and Darren Sharper are the only real competition for the award this late in the season. Sharper has dropped way off, but I think when voters look at Woodson’s age and stats compared to Revis they’ll pick Woodson overwhelmingly.
That's cuz no one will throw at Revis. Woodson get more thrown-ats, plus he's been around longer..

Actually just had a look and pretty interestingly, Revis has been thrown at 98 times this season, Woodson only 70. I think it’s because QB’s still think that their best receiver will beat Revis, obviously that’s not the case at all.

oh i just meant look at the rec. of his opponent, woodson probably doesnt always cover the #1 reciever like Darrelle.

Dont think Revis will get a real shot at Ocho.
Carson wont get signif time. Especially since his knee just got shredded a couple years ago.
Yeah that’s what I’m worried about also. See all the shit-talk on twitter and would love for Revis to shut down ocho on primetime TV, but going to be hard with JT O’Sullivan throwing balls at his feet and over his head lol.
Thinking of making an ocho stinko sign for the game as have good seats. Gotta think of a catchy phrase this week for the sign.

How about...?
Ocho es Loco on Revis Island
Ocho Sin Coraje
(means “Ocho without courage”)
Or Ocho Sin Corazón (“Ocho without a heart”)
Or “Ochocinco vete, la isla es de Revis” (Ochocinco go away, the island belongs to Revis)
although I would prefer something in Spanish, I also came up with
Ocho Sinko on Revis Island (has the advantage that he could actually understand it)
also BTW great post david, great visual representation of why our man Revis should get the DPOY. nice stats

Curious coincidence
That the receiver who had the best game against him (Louis Murphy, 4-58) was actually the most lightly regarded of the bunch.
