Revis Could Get Cut By Tampa

[Icebox]

They'd be dumb not to cut him, given the circumstances.

[Riverboat Ron]

INB4 bringing in Revis at vet minimum.

But...shutdown corner...need have in zone scheme.  THIS is why we won't go CB in the first, Man and shutdown corners go in the first round, Zone guys go later in the draft.  Hell, we got a #2 CB without even having to draft the guy, and a reserve (possible future starting) safety without using a draft pick too.

Its not a scheme thing hes just bad.

Even pre injury he rode a 4 game streak against Moss TO and Andre Johnson for about 5 years for his claim to fame.

I live in NY, most games as a Jet he didn't even line up against number 1s,

Seriously Ted Ginn, Ted F|_|CKING Ginn made him look like a FOOL.  Ginn is a decent role player for us, but he's nowhere near the caliber player Revis has been known to "shutdown".

 

Revis is done.

Ted did this to him when was in his prime... remember the Dolphin game? Acid Burned!

Revis finished the year as PFF's best CB of 2013. You don't know what you're talking about. He's just a great CB no matter what scheme you put him in.

Revis isn't going anywhere btw. Lovie played more man to man during his final years in Chicago. Which is why Tillman flourished. Revis will flourish under Lovie's scheme.

Because I know it'll come up, we run a zone scheme here so he wouldn't be a good fit.

 

Do we run zone because we want to, or is it because we have to?

[Way Truth Life]

Jets would resign him.

We run both now, but we play the zone to mask the deficiencies in the secondary. The play man as a change up.

When Gamble was here we ran alot more man.

If we had a true cover corner we would probably see alot more man.

Because our base defense is inherited from the Jim Johnson zone defense. Zone is not inherently inferior to man. It's a philosophical difference. Regardless of the base preference both will be utilized regardless.

It's by choice. Both Rivera and McDermott cut their teeth under Jim Johnson. The system we run is his system.

they could, but won't.

to me, it is more about matchups, which usually the secondary doesnt match up well one-on-one for most teams we played, so you will see we ran a lot more zone.  there were a couple games though, that i guess we felt we matched up better and played more man, Dolphins and Jets come to mind.  of course you dont play all zone or all man an entire game, the idea is to mix them up but this year, i think we played more zone due to the deficiencies in the secondary.

I see.  My question was a bit of masked sarcasm with genuine curiosity sprinkled in. 

 

I agree with all of you to some degree.  I believe we run a Jim Johnson scheme which is more zone than man but I also believe that in game situations where it would be more beneficial to man up at the line of scrimmage we have had to use zone to keep our corners from being abused.  Even further to that point, if for some reason our pass rush is not getting it done we really have to play it safe on the back end to help the secondary out.
