Darrelle Revis Still Experiencing Hamstring Issues

PrintApparently this hamstring saga is not over for Darrelle Revis if one judges byhis postgame comments.
Q: How does the hamstring feel?
A:"It’s very, very sore right now," Revis said. "It was hurting throughout the whole game, and I just fought through it and got through the game."
....
Q: Do you know if you will be able to play next week?
A: "I don’t know. We don’t know right now how severe the soreness is. We’ll figure it out tomorrow and go from there."
He also mentions that he would have been able to prevent Percy Harvin's touchdown had he been at 100%. That begs the question, "What are the Jets thinking?" Why are they sending him out there at less than 100%? Didn't he get hurt worse and miss more time because they did that against New England?

It will be a month before he is 100% if he doesn't damage it.
Are we going to sit him the whole time?
I wanted him to sit through the bye week, but they played him. They might as well continue doing so.

for some reason it still isn't working. But it might be on my end.

Also, I am of the opinion that Revis is going to have a hard time with how well Cromartie is doing his HIS spot light. Early in the year Cromartie looked a bit lost, grabbing penalties left and right. But ever since he took over on Moss in NE he has looked great. I’m sure that Revis is struggling a bit with his position on the team. He was on the field watching Cromartie defend stride for stride the best player on the field, making spectacular tip aways, and even drawing a PI on Moss.
Revis will be talking about his hammy for a while. A permanent excuse until he regains his position as top CB in the league.

I hate to admit it, but you might be right on this one. He definitely doesn’t seem right yet, not sure if its the hammy or if he’s just not in shape from not being able to run for a while. Hopefully its not the hammy and he gets himself into shape over the next 3 weeks.
No reason to play
Denver is hurt, and there is no reason for Revis to play. He will have three weeks to heal and be ready for the core of our season, the last ten weeks.
Absolutley rediculous.
This is what happens when you’re greedy. Revis is an undeniable talent, but I become more and more disgusted in him each day.

Check out the Jersey Jets Fan, we're awesome!
So far Im really unhappy about how the team is handling his injury and lack of conditioning.
The guy needs to be healthy, injury-free and in peak shape for the playoff push. I don’t care how long it takes for him to get there, he should be sitting untill he’s 100%. The team is playing well without him and they also have an edge in the division. After what I saw lastnight he should have sat this game and into the bye week.

I'm also not happy with how Revis is handling it.
When he was asked how one plays with a tight hamstring in his first game back he said you just “tough it out”. That is before he strained it against Moss. He doesn’t seem to have his head on straight with this injury.

Players play. I don't fault him for that. In fact I think there was alot of pressure on him to play.
The story all week was that the doctors cleared him to play and that the decision was up to him and him alone. He wasnt going to refuse to play after Rex stated that he was cleared by the doctors in a presser. Thats what I mean by not liking how the team dealt with the injury. If your going to leave the decision up to the player, don’t put undue pressure on the player by releasing that kind of information to the press when you could potentially push a player to perform despite him not being ready.
Think about it this way. If Revis made the decision not to play in the game despite us knowing he was cleared, and Favre gashed us with Moss and Harvin in a winning effort for the Vikings we would all be saying he showed no heart, that he was a bitch for not suiting up. It’s in this single instance that I totally agree with the Bill Belichek way of doing things. Do not comment or speculate about injuries to the press. It serves no purpose what-so-ever to the team or to winning and can only have a negative effect on the player if pushed to play. Big is also right to mention the weather. I would have had serious reservations about Darrell playing in that freaking monsoon. I don’t what this team was thinking.

Agree. It’s fine that the new mantra around here is talk all the shit you want, but somebody needs to understand that there are times they’re better off keeping their mouths shut.
Motivating each other? Cool. Playing with swagger and confidence? No problem. But spouting off with no regard has to stop somewhere. Does anyone believe all that yap about how great Revis is didn’t play a part in his holdout? There’s the point you’re making about injuries, obviously, and the other day Rex is saying how irreplaceable Pettine is, and that he won’t be around much longer. Why not just make a presser to the league that our DC is inviting offers to be a head coach?

I suppose all this comes with time. I'll give him a pass after a big win.
Rex has a big fat mouth. In alot of instances we like that about him. But their are things you have to keep in house. It’s a bad week to criticize the guy, this was a big win. But the overall game as a whole coupled with his yapping about Revis makes me think twice.
We threw the ball 45 times. IN A MONSOON! I understand the offense has a new option but really?
Calvin Pace looked like he was laboring all game. Why was he playing in this game?
Why was the coaching staff so sure Revis was ready to come back after what we saw lastnight? Is that the team doctors of the coaches being stupid?
Clock management at the end of the game sucked. Period.
Like I said, It’s a big win so the coaches get a pass. Im not going to nitpick. Ok so mabye I’m nitpicking.

We played pretty bad actually. That game easily could’ve been a blow out. If Shonn Greene sees the gaping hole on that 3 &1 it was a TD. If Pool gets that pick he dropped, he might have gone to the house. Sanchez missed a ton of easy throws. The 2nd Harvin TD was pretty lucky.
If just a couple of plays went a little bit differently, this is a laugher. On Favre’s TD to Moss he was a half second from being sacked; same with the 1st TD to Harvin.
I remember the Green play
He was soo concerned with jumping for the first down he missed the 4 lane highway that was layed out just to his right.
Pool has to make that catch. And Favre just rolled out of that sack attempt. Very lucky. Yeah this game wreaked of a blowout all the way. The Vikings were lucky we were so bad in the redzone. Im sure they would atribute that to their defense but the Jets beat themselves over and over in a really sloppy game.
The pass attempts really jump out at me. 45 is way too much. We had this game secured on the ground.

Well...
Maybe he feels like he actually needs to earn that boatload of cash he held out for which in turn lead to a lack of conditioning which lead to… this.
It’s a vicious circle, and I can’t think of anyone on the team who deserves it more.
He's hurt, watch the game
Look how he had spring in his step when he tackled Peterson. Then look at him in the second half, he was very timid out there. I’m not trying to defend Revis the person and I don’t see how you become tired of a teammate who’s helping you rest your hammy and helping you win games. Just watch the game. Another great example is his fumble recovery, he looked so timid when he was trying to return that ball. I really lost a lot of respect for Revis for what he did this summer, but please get past your biases, he’s not making excuses, HE IS HURT.
He can be hurt AND be making excuses.

REVIS "HATING" ON ANTONIO CROMARTIE?
With his comments that Randy Moss was not motivated in the 2nd half of their first meeting, is Darrelle Revis “hating” on Antonio Cromartie? -—> http://clicky.me/2Qcf
IMO
They played him just to have his presence on the field to give Favre something to think about. You can tell he was not 100% by the way he was running. He needs to sit out next week and have the by week to heal for the rest of the season. They took a chance and I hope it doesn’t make the injury worse. One good thing is the way Drew & D-Low have stepped their games up. Cro will have to be our #1 until Revis is healthy and those two will need to keep doing what they have been doing “playing big”. Kyle will need to get it together in order to help this team.
A lot to ask for a rookie
Kyle Wilson was drafted to develop into a big league back, with the operative word being “develop”. It’d be great if he could step in and give Revis time to heal. But I can’t think of many newly drafted backs who just seamlessly step into that role. If we have to start him in place of Revis, give him some help and expect some miscues. He will learn over time and be solid, but it will be painful for him and the team.
Please help me - Rant
Not sure how you feel out there but i think I’d like Revis to shut the @#$% up. Talking smack all week with a bad leg – i don’t want to hear from “hold out hamstring”. Why do you want to give a guy like Randy Moss any motivation? Stupid on his part – he should know better. Plus – this injury…I knew this was going to happen. I’m so glad other guys are stepping up. Thats what i want to hear about.
Thanks for the vent.
I agree.
I also like the nickname “Hold Out Hamstring.” I’m so totally disgusted with Revis I can hardly see straight.
Harris is kicking ass. Mangold is kicking ass. Brick is kicking ass. Revis is getting burned.
Which one of these guys acted like a greedy kid and which of these guys showed up to WIN?
In the end, I think it’s gonna be good for him and take him off that pedestal he was put on and get him out of believing in his own hype. The other nice thing it does is that it makes a future holdout (at least next year) pointless because no one else wants yet another overpaid underperforming player.
If this was an injury from a game I’d feel completely different. Dare I say I’d feel like his holdout was partially justified. However, this injury is because he didn’t condition himself. Rest him till week 10 since we seem to be doing fine without him (and fine with him getting burned) so he’s up to snuff in time for the Steelers. Or hell, just bench him for the rest of the year and force him to do yoga or something.
Are they serious?
What are they doing putting him on the field if he isn’t 100 percent?
Darrelle Revis once won a game of Connect Four in three moves.
decision
It was revis’s decision to play. Of course the coaches want him to play, but they left it up to him. Revis said wednesday if the game was to day he wouldn’t have played and he wants to be really sure before he plays.
Rex keep saying all last week its up to revis. Then this weekend revis says he’s ready. So the hammy is tight of course it will be, it doesn’t mean its pulled again. It might be tight for a few days and be alright again. We’ll see this week if he plays, I say he’s going to play, just a little drama right now. If he has to rest OK we got a bye after Denver.
Denver all they have is the passing game, so we could use him, if not we’ll still win. Stop their run and when they have to pass PRESSURE!
