Darrelle Revis is fully aware he and the Jets defense are going to have their hands full trying to clamp down on the Panther's mult-faceted attack Sunday at Met Life Stadium, but believes the "ready for the season defense" can handle it - especially since they've had practice with their own running quarterback.

"Yeah, they have an explosive offense," he said after practice Friday. "It starts with Cam Newton. He can pass the ball, he can run, he can do a lot of things with it."

Though the Jets are unlikely to see Carolina wide receiver Steve Smith (toe), Revis said the defense was "really excited for the test...

"It's a good test, because we had practice latching onto the receiver when Tim runs the ball [in practice] because it could be an extended play," he said. "We had a great practice and we feel good...This will be a big test for our defense."

He added that they've been "treating this whole week as a regular season week and we've been doing some things that focus in on Cam."

    • I look at it like get on top of the situation. Stay ahead of it. If it costs you a year of not drafting a starter at number three WR in the first so be it. We need new blood there in 2027 if not 2026, and need to get some OL on rookie deals.   At the same time the big picture is considered, we have a QB that has yet to earn an extension and you can go glass half full if you want but he had about half the good games that he needed to have. Fewer, IMO, but the point is he is not a lock to earn an extension.    Which would really put next year’s number one in play for QB and take OT off the table. So I think it needs to be on the table this year.  
    • Feels like they just changed like 2 years ago.
    • https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-line-success-why-building-through-the-nfl-draft-is-the-key   Conclusions drawn This article took a deep dive into evaluating recent offensive line trends regarding the draft and free agency while incorporating team success into the equation. Here are the biggest takeaways:   The best offensive lines in football (PHI, DET, TB) were built through the draft in the early rounds Other teams (most notably LAC) are following the same approach in team building Offensive line is something a team should target in the early rounds (1-3), as the success rate significantly declines in the later rounds both in the short and long-term Offensive tackles have a higher success rate through the draft than interior offensive linemen, regardless of round Acquiring free agent offensive line does have its benefits, particularly for elite units filling one hole. Interior offensive is typically the way to go Top-end offensive line talent is far less likely to be available via trade or free agency compared to other positions year to year, only emphasizing the importance of the draft   My words: we were forced to make some big signings on interior after years of poor OL drafting and neglect. It worked but isnt sustainable. We need to get right. Drafting tackles high is a successful formula. We need to start now to have any hope going forward.
