Revis vs Gamble


TylerDurden

Recommended Posts

Watching the MNF game, and we all know Revis' reputation as the best corner in the game precedes him... But, in watching the game tonight, I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between what he's doing in coverage that isn't getting called versus, for example, what we saw Gamble get called for in coverage yesterday?

Gamble was called for basically hand fighting with a receiver (past 5 yards)... In watching the game tonight, Revis was just covering Brandon Marshall and they were past 5 yards as well, and Matt Moore went to throw a back shoulder fade to Marshall in the endzone. Revis was basically holding Marshall the entire time, was on his back before the ball got there, then slapped the ball down through him.

How is that not pass interference but what Gamble did was?

I'm not saying people should look at Gamble like Revis, but he's a much better corner than many people want to give him credit for. I just think it's bullsh*t that guys like Revis get a blind eye turned to them in regards to penalties because people have talked them up for no reason, and Gamble has played his ass off this season and gets called for "hand fighting."

EDIT: As I finished typing this, Revis just pulled Marshall down past 5 yards again and ran back an interception for a 100-yd TD.

that was PI on Revis no doubt about it.

Yeah, he's done it twice in the endzone now and one resulted in the TD.

I'm just saying, he is aggressively yanking Marshall around and our guys get called for fighting to ensure they are in position to make a play on the ball with their hands.

Yeah, I was fliping channels and was surprised at how quickly 7 point was added to the Jets score...

    • They weren't well thought out. We needed one, not both. 2 top center/guard candidates were going to be available in the 2nd. We would have been fine with JPJ or Frazier. Drafting either over XL or Brooks would have made perfect sense. Hell, drafting both would have made sense even if we had signed Lewis or Hunt. Instead we drafted a 1 year wonder project WR and a luxury RB that we didn't need since we had Hubbard. Draft IOL, pay tackles. Plenty of 2nd round guards and centers start immediately and play very well. Those 2 picks were not good then, now, no matter how much explaining anyone tries to do. Several of called it then. 
    • I have no problems with difference of opinions.  Difference of perspective.  Perspective is everything.   The statement you made was false. Period. So sorry that you don't like me calling it out.  Frankly, Frank,  I gave up on seeing anything eye to eye with you when I was a much younger man.  Nothing I said was a personal insult, so get over yourself.  As far as comparing rosters.  I just dont give a fug.  There are no 2 rosters in this league that are built the same as far talent and contracts. Every team is on their own journey.  Is our passing offense far from desired? Yes, we can agree on that part, but not on why it has struggled.  I wish we could easily just drsft all the talent we need, the the NFL doesn't,  and hasn't worked that way.  Dan Morgan did a fantastic job at bringing in talent along the line, and retaining talent along the line. We needed it also, as we used every bit of the depth we had, most of the season.  Unfortunately we were relying on a receivers room that their average age is less than my oldest son, and that is NEVER a recipe for success for the group.  The constant shuffle at online was horrible. Despite how horrible it was, our online actually performed well above expectations for what they went through.  We also need our play caller to attempt to stick to an offensive identity.   Unfortunately,  Dave C. didn't do that, for whatever reason.  Hell, the online was the highlight of our offense this season. Wished the rest of the offense performed as consistent.  He'll, wish our defense performed that consistent.  I'll give you credit, for not dropping to your expected behavior in your response.  Congratulations.  Have a goodnight.
