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...

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
