Revis on Moss: "He Played Like a Slouch"

by Matt Birch on Sep 16, 2010 11:32 AM EDT

When CB Darrelle Revis and WR Randy Moss faced off last year, it was a battle we could not keep our eyes off of.
As usual, Revis won, holding the all-pro wideout to just 9 catches for 58 yards in both games coombined. He also came away with an INT.

Back in January, Revis referred to Moss as a "slouch," regarding his performance in last year's matchup in Giants Stadium. Ron Borges sat down with the shutdown CB and asked him about the comment, probably thinking he would retract the statement. Revis did no such thing:

"I called him a slouch because I felt he played like a slouch," Revis said. "They tried to come after me in the second game. He wasn’t a slouch in the second game (but)…if I said it in January you guys know (when) I said it.’’

Moss has also said he'd worked all offseason to "stay off Revis Island." Revis' response?

"If that’s what he said I guess that’s what he’s been preparing for all off-season." "He said it with a laugh but it’s been on his mind for the whole offseason. Randy speaks the truth. He speaks how he feels. Obviously, if he said that, it was on his mind.’’

You've gotta love Revis' confidence in his game and passion for beating New England. He may only be in his fourth year with the team, but he knows how important this rivalry is, and he certainly doesn't shy away from his role in it.

Wow. . .

gotta love the confidence. I will say this, for all the talking Rex and his Jets do, as a Jets fan I’m just enjoying that we have an identity and a goal to be the best of the best. Now if we can just get Tannenbaum outta football Ops and back into accounting we will REALLY be set!

It would be nice if the “we” that had an identity included the offense, and not just the defense and the fans.

Revis is coming off a game where they had to lock him into

the Left cornerback position because they were afraid he would get tired running across the formation (!?), and now has a tight hamstring. Randy’s going to run him all over the place. I think Revis should hold his tongue just a bit, at least untll he doesn’t have to be physically babied. If Moss has anything, he has the ability to run.
