Good question. I'd think Owens, but some might say otherwise.
According to Revis, Revis will be covering Owens. Cromartie on Chad.
Neither?
TO is going down as one of the greatest wr's of all time. I'll probably bench him for VJax...but if I didn't have that elite option I'd think twice about sitting him.ETA - I might end up playing TO but that's only because they're playing Thursday and it's more fun watching the games when I can root for my players.
These two guys beat me too it, but you're certifieable if you think TO isn't going into the HOF. Check the stats dude, better yet watch a game now, he's still a beast now despite being well past his prime. You can't hate the man, but you can't contest his skills, he's an all time great
Well, he's right technically. Neither is in the HOF.But TO will be a first ballot. Revis, not so much.
And Calvin 2 weeks prior to that.Three weeks ago vs. Detroit was the first time the Jets allowed Revis to shadow a receiver all season long due to the hamstring injury. In his first game shadowing, he held Calvin Johnson to 1 receptions for 13 yards. The following week they played Cleveland who doesn't have a serious weapon at the WR position so he didn't shadow anyone and just played the defensive left side. Then last week they allowed him to shadow for the 2nd time all season and he held Andre Johnson to 4 receptions for 32 yards.Two games shadowing + 2 of the PREMIER WRs in the NFL today = 5 total receptions for 45 yards.I love what T.O. has done for me this year, but I'm benching him this week. Others should as well.
I'm a Jets fan as well. Revis is healthy now, bro. You have seen over and over what that means. It is going to be cold on Thursday night and the forecast is calling for rain. Last year in two games vs. the Bengals, Revis held Carson Palmer's #1 receiving threat (Chad Ochocinco) to 2 total receptions for 28 yards. An average of 1 reception for 14 yards per game!Granted I think T.O. is a better all-around WR than Chad, but what makes you think Carson is going to be able to throw on Revis this season when he couldn't come close to doing so last season? Especially in cold, rainy conditions?
Cromartie's been pretty damn good as well.The Jets' issue has been covering TEs and slot/3rd WRs - their safeties and nickel corners have been subpar in coverage.PaperBagHead said:
This one. Cromartie has played very well this year getting back to man-to-man coverage. Although I could see him having more difficulty with T.O. (who should be able to get off of the line against Cromartie) versus Ocho, if the Jets give up major air play, I'd expect it off of receivers other than T.O. or Ocho.wrong. Revis shut down Calvin and AJ. Project TO to get half his usual yds w/o TD. Then if you have someone else who projects to score more than that, then start the other WR.
Then you will suffer the consequences. If people haven't learned by now, they deserve it. Think about it guys: when is the last time ANYONE has had a good day against a healthy Revis?I remember Moss catching one TD. I remember Jennings having very mediocre stats (but Revis actually played Driver some that game), and I remember Reggie Wayne beating Revis once last year for a sure TD and Manning overthrew him by a mile. Other than that, I remember him shutting down Moss, Q, Wayne, AJ, Colston, Roddy, T.O, Ocho, and Jennings over the past few years. Think McFly...think!
That's about the list. Moss had 9 PPR points on the day he caught that TD as well (talking about last year, not this year when Revis got hurt) and Jennings had 1 catch w/ Revis on him. The only other instance I can think of was Steve Smith (Car) almost made a circus catch for a TD. Other than that, Revis just blankets people.
Shipley is a nice play in PPR leagues too. Something like 7-89 not out of the question.I love what T.O. is doing this year, but this matchup flat out screams 3-31.
I dont want to turn this into a who do i start but how can you bench a top 5 guy like TO for garbage like Bess and Amendola? Rex has said Revis will roll to a few WRs so maybe he gets some stats with that - I'm not saying dont bench him - I'm saying if you have no other options it may not be a choice
Very true about Shipley. The Jets are normally tough against the run so I'd expect to see the ball in the air a lot. If that's the case, I expect both Shipley and Gresham to have solid days.
Just this week there was a thread about a guy saying the same things you are but regarding Andre Johnson and whether or not he should play Steve Johnson from Buffalo. "How can I not play Andre?"He played Andre (4-32-0), benched Steve Johnson (8-137-3), and lost his game because of it.
Couldn't disagree more. Revis is an amazing corner but no way he surpasses Sanders, ever. Maybe on the defensive side of the ball but I have yet to see another corner that brings the same game changing ability as Sanders. The guy never left the field. He'd play 1-3rd down and then play special teams, and was also used sparingly on offense. He doesn't have Sanders game, no comparison.
Glad I picked up Blair White. Otherwise I would have gone with TO.
He's the closest thing to Deon since Deon was in his prime. Better than Champ Baily. Better than Ashomougokefdfsdfs-a.
...what?152 career TDs not good enough for you eh
