New York Jets Named To Pro Bowl: Darrelle Revis, Nick Mangold, D'Brickashaw Ferguson
by Matt Birch on Dec 28, 2010 7:57 PM EST
Email
PrintThink back about a year ago, where we were discussing which of the "core four" New York Jets should receive new contracts.
As it turns out, three of them got new deals. The Jets must have known what they were doing, as the three said players were just named to the 2010-11 AFC Pro Bowl team as starters. This is the third straight Pro Bowl selection for both Mangold and Revis. It's the second straight for Ferguson.
Here are all of the Jets that made the team, both starters and alternates (according to NYDN's Manish Mehta)
First Team:
CB Darrelle Revis, C Nick Mangold, and OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson
Alternates: (Nine Jet players)
LB David Harris (first), KR Brad Smith (second), CB Antonio Cromartie (second), TE Dustin Keller (second), OG Brandon Moore (third), DE Shaun Ellis (fourth), LB Calvin Pace (fourth), LB Jason Taylor (fourth) and RB LaDainian Tomlinson (fifth).
Congratulations!

I agree, both him and Taylor should not have made it

Ok 4 defenders from NE make it, including 2 from the worst secondary in the league thats just a joke
Weatherford should have made alternate.
I think Williams and Franklin should be ahead of Wilfork

Wilfork was low down on the fan voting ranks...
So he was voted in by players and coaches. That says quite a bit.
Meriweather, however… ugh.

Worst secondary?
Not really. Definitely a bend-but-don’t-break secondary – a buttload of yardage given up – but they are middle of the road in defensive scoring, and they’re top of the league in forcing turnovers.
New England is +27 in turnover differential. Their two-loss record is no coincidence. They forced Manning, Roethlisberger, Sanchez, Hill and Fitzpatrick into multiple-interception games in (multiple) consecutive weeks.

Better than Revis? Its actually impossible, because Revis is playing near perfect football right now. The fact that McCourty got in over Cromartie and Brandon Flowers and Quentin Jammer is a joke.

I'd gladly take him over Cromartie
Cromartie arguably lost the Jets-Ravens game with those PI calls. Flowers is unlucky, but McCourty’s won several games by either getting a pick to seal it, or making a big third-down stop to force a punt (or missed FG).
McCourty wasn’t ranked highly in the fan vote, so clearly he was elevated by NFL coaches and players. It’s not like he scraped by on reputation (he’s a rook) or ridiculous fan votes (he didn’t have any).

Problem with Wilfork ande Meriweather

I won’t get into that just there were better players at the positions for the 2 I mentioned, Mayo you can make a case for. I mean cheese and rice wasn’t Meriweather benched early in the season?

You know what, those guys have made plays all season
Yeah, they may be trash in coverage, but, they have made big plays all season. Can’t say the same for the Jets defense. I agree about Wilfork though. He’s just a fat guy who takes up space who can make a tackle now and then when the runner comes his way. He never gets penetration.
you do realize that we run a 2 gap 3-4 system right?
which means its all about holding blocks while the linebackers makes tackles, instead penetrating inside the backfield.
Correction…he is the highest paid fat guy

Have you even watched a game and focused on what the D-line is doing?
Putting 2 guys on a NT, and the NT just staying on the LOS and waiting for the RB to get to him, and then disengaging from the two O-linemen to make the tackle is what a 3-4 D-lineman is supposed to do.

Sorry.
Last year’s Jets D was a true shutdown, “Steel Curtain” defense. This year it was supposed to be at least as good, and still carry the team. Truth is, the suprising play from Sanchez is the reason the Jets are 10-5 instead of 7-8 – Browns, Lions, Texans games were won by the offense, and the Broncos game is another one.
Since the debacle against the Browns, the Pats D wasted the Steelers for 3 quarters, and then eased off. They picked Manning off 3 times (although that doesn’t seem hard lately), killed the Lions in the second half, destroyed the Jets, throttled Chicago, and then smothered the Bills. In the GB game, they suffered from no Spikes and several key injuries to help in the run game, and this led to them being on the field for 40 minutes. They still were able to make the plays needed at the end of the game.

He's probably helped by the fact the Pats changed philosophies halfway through the year...
They went dink-and-dunk around the time he came back, so you could potentially look at the stats before and after him and think he made a big difference, when really it was schematic.

I'm surprised by those two, too
Mankins has been really useful in the games he’s played, but he missed half a season. In terms of any-given-play, he probably deserves to be there. But missing half the season makes it a little hard to justify.
Meriweather? No chance. He’s not the best or most useful or most valuable safety in a Pats uniform.

How does Moore not get named as a starter?
Pro Bowl is a joke, Wayne over Bowe is another disgrace. This is the reason I never watch it. Hopefully no Jets will be able to play in the game.
Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but milleniums in a place with no doors.
Stating the obvious, but
The Pro Bowl has lost it’s relevance over a dozen years ago. Why should we be surprised at some of the picks? And then you have some players who don’t think it’s worth their time (I thought it was the fan’s time also BTW) to show up, so they develop an injury that they didn’t have the day before and get replaced by a player that probably should be on the practice squad.
But isn’t Hawaii beautiful?
I have to question Revis making it. He spent a quarter of the season either hurt or nursing an injury and less effective. Since he’s become healthy again, he’s been really good. Still, he isn’t shutting down an elite receiver a week like he did last year. Seems like he got the nod on reputation as seems to happen often in the Pro Bowl.

Can't shut down elite receivers if you are not facing any

I didn’t want to say it but both starting corners how do you weigh that against what McCourty did? I don’t know, look at him last year and look at him this year
In an Ideal world I would have all ten fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching.
So you saying McCourty is better then Revis?
Ok, I know you’re not, I think :-). Yeah, Revis has no interceptions, but only gave up two TD’s all season. And one was not a TD if Rex would had challenge it (Denver game). The Jets as a team have given up 28 TD’s. so do the math.
did I say that? I am saying how do you weigh a NA/Revis type vs other CBs? Its not Revis fault he don’t get a ot of balls thrown at him. I have the same problem with Briggs v Matthews different positions/systems but to pro bowl voting its still just OLBs
In an Ideal world I would have all ten fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching.
mccourty hasn't got thrown at since detroit
when he had two picks… also hasn’t given up a td in a while as well. Bills no.. packers he got hit by his own guy on the one big play, bears no, jets no, steelers no, browns no, vikings no… last time he gave up a legit td was chargers.
Dick Butkus, Former Chicago Bears Linebacker
"I wouldn't ever set out to hurt anyone deliberately unless it was important -- like a league game."
How to you feel about Revis and NA starting Cbs in the probowl? just curious to get another perspective
In an Ideal world I would have all ten fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching.
both have been injured at some point
but all other times they seem to have shut down guys. Flowers and bailey have played well but can get beat deep at some points. I think they got it right, although personally (with some homerism) mccourty has played all year on d and special teams and since week 3, has been just as good as any cb in the league.
Dick Butkus, Former Chicago Bears Linebacker
"I wouldn't ever set out to hurt anyone deliberately unless it was important -- like a league game."
If anyone were to be annoyed, it'd probably be Champ Bailey
And if Bailey were to look at anyone to replace, I’d have to think he’d be gunning for either Asomugha or Revis’s spots, because they’ve both had significant time off and seem to coast in as much on reputation as anything. Bailey’s rep is equal to those two (perhaps not as recently), so he ought to be battling it out for those spots with them.

Yeah Revis don’t make his money on INTs at all he could have an mvp season with no ints
In an Ideal world I would have all ten fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching.
The interceptions were just icing on the cake
The guy’s a great tackler, snuffs out a lot of third-down plays with big tackles that don’t allow yardage-after-catch, and he’s had a couple of fumbles forced and a sack. He’s a hell of a tackler. Also, all his interceptions have been ‘solid’ plays – he hasn’t tried to jump a route yet, he just plays proper positioning and great leverage and occasionally comes up with the ball.
In short, he’s not Asante Samuel (or Antonio Cromartie), and that’s a great thing. He’s a tackling machine like Leigh Bodden, but he comes up with athletic interceptions too.

I found it interesting that Rex said he was coveting McCourty himself, pre-draft
He’s not quite the same sort of player as Revis. McCourty’s a better tackler – he seems to thrive on making hits in run support – but he hasn’t got Revis’s all-over-the-WR-like-a-rash coverage ability yet.
Revis really fits the Jets’ blitz-heavy D, because you can sit him on an island and use everyone else to pass-rush. McCourty really fits Belichick’s (current) D style, because he’s as good in run D as he is against the pass, he can hold the edge and he never jumps routes or goes for risky plays.

john i meant that at no disrespect to revis
but go look at the stats compare rookie years the stats are near identical but mccourty has double the picks and had more sacks ff and fr . rookie years i would give the slight edge to mccourty if devin can get better as he goes like revis did is the question. i think in the long run they both will be similiar shutdown cbs.
No revis is on his own level which for me is not debatable. Its more about performance is a Revis season at say 75% capability more derserving than another player with a career year?

There's no debate, Cro had I believe eight or ten interceptions in his rookie year
He’s not even mention in the same breath as the other corners. I agree McCourty has made plays, but he don’t even move around the field like Revis has at times. Great going back and forth with you Pat fans, but leave the homers back at the Pulpit.

I agree McCourty has made plays, but he don’t even move around the field like Revis has at times.
That’s schematic. The Pats play LCB and RCB. It’s because Belichick likes to disguise what he does, and moving players around the field screams “man-coverage!”, which is, well, not disguised. He likes to be able to throw man- or zone- at will.
Cromartie’s a different type of CB to both Revis and McCourty. He’s very much like the ex-Patriot Asante Samuel – he jumps routes, whiffs on tackles, but because he takes risks, he comes up with the occasional big play. However, because he takes risks, he often also comes up grasping nothing but air (or penalty flags). He’s bound to get interceptions, but he’s also bound to give up plays and/or games because he makes stupid errors taking risks when he shouldn’t. Cromartie will win games as well as lose them, but he’s not an all-round CB like Revis (or like how McCourty is becoming/ has become).

Because of a good rookie season?
Lets not forget Lito Sheppard and Cromartie were once pro bowl CBs that were suppose to be great too. One good season doesnt tell the future.

That's what we're saying.
IF McCourty continues his development at the same rate as he has from week 3 to week 16, THEN he can be one of the top 5 CBs in the league. Is he now? Probably not. But he could be.

He might be in 3 years time if he develops at his current pace.
But the best corner in football is subjective – who is better, the corner that isn’t even challenged, or the one that is targeted 100 times and breaks them all up?

See? _You_ take the one that breaks up every throw.
But from a tactical standpoint, they are equally good for the team. If the QB knows that if he throws it to one side, it falls incomplete no matter what (see Revis in the Monday night game, or Deion Sanders in his prime), he won’t even bother looking to that side. He’ll take his chances on the other side. This is what defensive coordinators want – it means before the ball is even snapped, they know what side of the field the ball is going.

when another corner starts running around following the opponents #1 wr, then we can start the revis comparisons.
Until then, that guy u wanna think might one day become revis, aint in revis’ league. Just like that guy who has stats comparable to brady’s first year is not any sort of indicator that he will ever be as good as brady is.

He is not Revis, this year. In 3 years’ time, he may be as good as Revis was last year.

That's not how the Pats D works, though
McCourty has had picks on throws to Calvin Johnson and Braylon Edwards where he played perfect inside positioning and robbed then on the deep throw. If he can play those guys perfectly as a rookie, it’s a good sign for later on. That goes double when you remember that Revis really showed how good he was by keeping great WRs like Moss down.
The fact he doesn’t follow WRs around isn’t his fault, it’s just the way the Pats scheme works – by disguising what people are doing, by not allowing the matchups to be easily ascertained.

If he was good enough to do it he would. Its not about getting picks. Its about taking the opponent’s best receiver out of the game with one guy.
Why can’t a guy just be good or have a good year? Why is it every time some corner is playing well that team’s start coming here saying he’s as good as revis? Do you people understand the quantum leap that revis took btw year 1 and year 3? That wasn’t a natural progression. He went from being a pro bowler to have the greatest season for a corner ever… By far. If some young qb’s season measures up with brady’s first year at the helm, does that mean he’ll have a 50 td season as well down the road? Hell no.
Saying he isn’t as good as revis isn’t a knock. The kid is good, but revis had the best year in history at the position last year, and has been just as good this year when healthy. There’s a looooong way to go from revis’ first year to now.

that is an insult to Night Train Lane's rookie season
no corner’s season will beat that. He had int’s and his hits were vicious.
As pats fans, we look at Mccourty, already playing better than most corners. So we see who last great rookie was. That was Revis. We believe, because BB is just as good a defensive coach as rex, and Mccourty’s ceiling looks extremely high, that mccourty good be just as revis in our system (aka no passes to the right, no runs outside to the right.)

No
They tried it against Megatron, but it stunted their pass-rush a bit, because it meant that Hill could identify coverages. When they abandoned it in the second-quarter, Hill started throwing picks.
It’s just a feature of Belichick’s D – opposition QBs aren’t supposed to be able to tell if they’re in man-coverage, playing Cover-2 short zones, Cover-3 deep zones, or Cover-4 quarter zones. Moving them around the field tacked onto one man one-on-one tells the QB they’re in man coverage one-on-one – meaning he knows it’s not Cover-2, Cover-3 or otherwise.
The Jets blitz a lot, so they can afford to play man-to-man like that. The Pats play a lot of exotic zone-looks with minimal blitzing, so they need their guys to be left/right all the time.

really ?
“If he was good enough to do it he would. Its not about getting picks. Its about taking the opponent’s best receiver out of the game with one guy.”
this is a false statement that is not how BB defense is designed but if u want to think that its ok. comparing rookie years mccourty is better period look at the stats. if mccourty can progress like revis that is the question and we will have to wait and see. and seeing how BB has said that he puts mccourty in the top 3 of players in bb career about knowledge of football and breaking down film that bb has ever seen i like devins chances.
same
I dont think he really had anywhere near a good year, mostly from his own standards. Last year, even with defenses doing their best to avoid him, he still managed to get around the ball and make plays. This season, hold out, hampered by a hammy, and no real impact plays. He did a good job in coverage for the most part, but wasnt near the player he’s been the previous few years. reputation got it, but i’ll take it.
Peyton Manning over Matt Cassell is a joke too
Brees over Rodgers is another. The reputation votes are terrible.

Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but milleniums in a place with no doors.
Stupid like a fox!

I won't ask why
you Pats fans show up at the same place and time where there is heated discussion to support/rec, each other. I will just point out it is very obvious if it is an argumentative tactic or an effort to hijack a thread that’s ultimately unrelated.
We had an out of control member in this thread that I ultimately had to censure, so you get a bit of a pass. I’ll just say a badly behaving person won’t be an excuse for excessively provocative behavior, if I see it.
Maybe create a fanpost for out of hand arguments not related to the thread. Or ignore a GGN member who gets heated.
I know you’re just defending your team but DO NOT come to our blog in packs and then call my members trolls. This is our home blog. You are guests.

As a Pats fan, well said sir
I will say, however, that the intent to defend the team only goes so far as the intent to defame them, in most cases. The language, at times, was terse and, again as a Pats fan, I apologize if any action I made played a part in extending or worsening the discussion.
That said, congrats to the Pro Bowlers for the Jets and Patriots, with the exception of Merriweather on our side, the positions were well deserved :P
Will do, good sir

I read the little plan on your game thread last night
You guys should grow up.

Plan?
I haven’t a clue what you’re talking about, I don’t think I was on the game thread at all since I didn’t watch the game. But if you went through a game thread or open thread looking for things to complain about, you’re likely to find them. Shrug.
