Rex Reacts to DPOY Revis Snub

First of all let me say congratulations to Woodson, he had a fantastic year, one worthy of recognition, unfortunately for him, he didn't have as good a year as Revis and thus should of been placed second in the voting. NFL writers are doing their utmost to prove that MLB writers are not the only ones who get things wrong.
As many would expect, Rex gave his thoughts on the best defensive player getting snubbed:
"I wasn't going to comment on it," Ryan said, "but I would like to congratulate the people that voted for Darrelle Revis. These guys obviously really know the game. And you've got to look at all the numbers, not just a number about this, or this stat or that stat.
"A number I think is interesting would be eight. And no, that's not the amount of touchdown passes Green Bay gave up against Arizona. That is the number of touchdown passes we gave up all season. And the biggest reason for that is Darrelle Revis.
"There's plenty of things to look at. We had the No. 1 defense in the National Football League, by 35 yards a game. We were No. 1 in scoring ... basically 187 points is all the defense gave up all season. That might be a consideration for NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
"And it really was for the people that voted for Darrelle Revis. I tip my hat to them because they really know the game. That's all I'm going to say about it."

Great video.
That one againtst the Raiders is my 2nd favorite. The one in last week’s game is my favorite; its Revis at his best.
These are a joke anyway.
It’s just like the Heisman. It’s as much a popularity contest as it is anything else. Revis is who he is and no award or lack thereof helps or diminishes his skill.
The number I really want to see between Woodson and Revis
is how many times the quarterback threw at the receiver they were covering and the percentage of those balls caught. Looking at picks, defensive TDs and tackles really only tell part of the story, after all, you can’t pick off a pass that wasn’t thrown to you. I’d even venture into saying that the more tackles a starting corner back has, the more passes he allowed to be caught.
Woodson a great corner, he’s just not the shutdown corner Revis is.
The Mets lobby Omar for a plan, and his plan, he likes his plan. The problem is that he didn't write his plan down 'cause that makes it paperwork, and that’s false hustle... Know what I’m sayin’?
I should note,
The tackles could have also been part of the defensive scheme the Packers used. I only saw two or three Packers games, and didn’t analyze who was where on which play.

Great point on the tackles.
But Revis had a high amount of tackles for a corner, and his guy didnt make many catches.
That's why I love Rex
Any coach willing to take a shot at another team/player and break up the monotony of a coach’s press conference works for me
Have been mad about this all day
Obviously holding WR1’s to under 30 ypg is not good enough.
Woodson was so great last weekend as he got WORKED by fitz… but thats the real DPOY ?!?!?
Best shutdown corner/cover corner in the game. Complete horsesh*t

woodson's forced fumbles
you can’t force a fumble if they’re not catching it in the first place
and the home of the... JETS!!!

After watching him try and cover Larry Fitz, I’m not surprised they bring him on the blitz, I wouldn’t want Woodson man-to-man with the best receiver the entire game.

Rex might be right, but....
Woodson is a solid competitor and has been for years. Probably one of the few Heisman winners to amount to something. I still think Revis earned it, but Woodson isn’t a bad second choice. Fitz roasted him, but the vote was already in.
The receivers know who the real MVP is. Now where is #85 with that Fireman Ed hat anyway? Oh, yeah….Still stuck on the island.
The award here isn't best shutdown corner of the year
it’s best defensive player of the year, and regardless of how great Revis played, nobody made a bigger impact for their team on defense than Charles Woodson.
Bengals' top receiver had 2 catches for 28 and 0 TDs.
Jets are in the next round of the playoffs.
Cardinals best receiver had 8 catches for 60 yards and TDs, while manhandling Woodson.
Packers were eliminated in OT.
Who had a bigger impact?
