Bleacher Report: 'Jets may be better off without Revis'

by Matt Birch on Sep 21, 2010 7:22 AM EDT

Yesterday, the ambitious writers over at Bleacher Report were hard at work.

If you ask me, the Jets may be better off without Revis for a few weeks.

Since the season opener against Baltimore, the Jets secondary improved tremendously going up against top receivers like Wes Welker and Randy Moss.

No team is ever better without their star player, no matter the situation. If Revis were covering WR Brandon Marshall this week, that would allow CB Antonio Cromartie or CB Kyle Wilson to cover WR Davone Bess. Let's face it, that's a matchup that both Wilson or Cromartie would dominate.

What would this allow the Jets to do? It would allow them to play man coverage in the secondary, which in turn would allow them to have both safeties cheat up to stop the run. Jets could stack eight men in the box every play to stifle Miami's run game and that gimmicky garbage they call the 'wildcat.

I honestly thing Cro can man up Marshall.

Dolphins fans will be quick to point out Marshall’s past accomplishments again the Chargers zone D but Marshall/Cutler and Marshall/Orton in their full swing are a more dangerous combo then Marshall/Henne early 1st season. The present combo has no looked on target. I think the real danger lies with Cro and Wilson locating and playing the ball like they did poorly against Baltimore.

I also thing Fasano will have a big game if we don’t get pressure on Henne. The Fasano/Henne combo is more dangerous then the Marshall/Henne combo at this point, IMO. Our LBs need to step up in coverage, getting pressure on blitzes, and containing Ronnie/Ricky.

Cro struggled immensly with Marshall the last time they matched up in 2008.

4 penalties by him alone, and Marshall had 10+ catches and over 150 yards, one of best games of his career.

What excuse are jets fan going to use this time when they lose?

Last year it was the wildcat and Chad Henne that got lucky according to jets fans, and then in the 2nd game it was Ted Ginn getting lucky.

I'll be the first one to make excuses

when we only beat the Stinky fish by 21, when we all know it should be by at least 35.

What will Dolphins' fans excuse for not making the playoffs be this season?

Last year it was that their WR corps was garbage, and pass defense bottom five in NFL.

what's wrong?

too bored trying to convince yourself that you have the #1 QB and #1 rated D that you had to come on to our site?

Make the playoffs and then we’ll talk. You’re pathetic.

Let's be honest,

the Tuna jumped off the sinking ship and all you’re left with is a worthless coach, a GM who worries about players mothers being hookers and a starting quarterback who sucks. Who knows, maybe Jimmy Johnson will come back.

I have a lot of respect for Marshall, but very little for the guy who throws him the ball. Stop the running game, force them to pass, and they should be relatively easy to beat.

Yessirree. Plus they have no vertical threats to back off the safeties. Load the box with the safeties up, and play the corners in off-man to force the short routes, and blitz and stunt their inexperienced interior o-line… It’ll be lights out early.
