Darrelle Revis/Calvin Pace Won't Play Against Dolphins

by David_Wyatt on Sep 22, 2010 2:56 PM EDT

Cimini just reported it from the Rex Ryan news conference:

Darrelle Revis and Calvin Pace won't play Sunday, Rex Ryan announces. Revis won't make trip to Miami.

Jason Taylor was limited today but he is expected to play. Mangold did not practise with his troublesome shoulder, but he is also expected to play.

This isn't surprising, I don't think anyone expected either of them to suit up. I'd rather we sit Revis to make sure no long term damage is done anyway, rather than rush him back. Calvin Pace is getting closer but week 3 always seemed a little too soon for him. He could play week 4 against the Bills, or more likely week 5 against the Vikings.

Cromartie will be entrusted to deal with Marshall, and I think they match up quite well. Marshall is a more physical wide receiver than Randy Moss, but Cromartie really impressed me with his coverage on Sunday. They are familiar with each other having been in the same conference for so long.

I hope Cro can handle Marshall. They definitely have some history though:

Over the past two seasons, ProFootballFocus.com’s data shows Marshall caught seven of nine passes thrown to him while Cromartie was in coverage, a remarkably high 77.8 percent for 74 yards and a touchdown and a 138.0 passer rating.

Against other Chargers defenders, Marshall caught 32-of-45 passes thrown at him, 71.1 percent, for 296 yards, one touchdown, one interception and an 86.9 passer rating.

There’s also a good chart here.

But of course, Henne isn’t Cutler.

Nor is he Orton yet.

The Dolphins also dont have the offensive minds of McDaniel’s or Shanahan.

But we should still double Marshall.

I agree. Im hoping they shade him with Pool.

I hope Cro can be physical with Marshall

It’ll make all the difference in the world.

Good luck

with Cro being physical. That was his biggest problem in SD – well that and babies’ mommas. He is fast enough to keep up, but if he doesn’t bump Marshall within the first five, he gets owned.

The biggest positive in this match up is the pressure on the QB. I doubt Henne will have time to get Marshall deep enough for a long ball. If BM gets it deep with only Cro to tackle, you will be in trouble.

6/10/2010 - Tra Thomas signs with the Chargers
8/21/2010 - Tra Thomas retires.

That was fast.

Coveringi Moss is one thing, covering Marshall is something totally different.

I hope Pool will be available as I think he is

Maybe get a big hit on Marshall the way Smith did to Welker but not as obvious or to the head but just to send a message we play physical over here better bring out the alligator arms.

lets hope Taylor is good and ready to put a hurtn on the dolphins, that sux Revis will be out we need this win. But I think it still will be a good match up

Look at the History

Back in San Diego Cromartie played against Marshall and the Broncos twice a year.
Question: How were Marshall’s stats during those game?

(Seriously, I don’t know – somebody else should look it up)

I do enjoy this time of the year, where Dolphins fans come over to try and catch any small thing…..but are usually misinformed.

You would figure the British flag you have for your picture would give him a clue.

I also find it humorous that he criticized your spelling after not capitalizing any of his words.

by Bob_The_Friendly_Baker on Sep 22, 2010 6:39 PM EDT up reply actions

Ohhhh, my bad

I didn’t realize it was spelled different in the BC; and what does not capitalizing my words have to do with spelling Bob? Didn’t a Jets fan spell Jets, ‘JEST’ on a poster board? I love these games too, the monday night miracle was horrible :(.
