He might be.

He might be.

Ryan is a bafoon who can get away with saying this kind of stuff, especially since Revis is also one of his players.

But as someone who presumably watches the NFL every week, I just shake my head that you would say that.

I think he's the best at his position. He definitely had a bad stretch of play with that injury early in the season though. But has been amazing when healthy.

I was wondering where Reggie Wayne was last week, 1 catch for 1 yard

Darelle Revis is overrated just like Charles Woodson. Wayne's numbers have been down all season. I would know - he was on my fantasy football team.

Just a reminder. Moss' last laugh before his downward spiral.

LOL that Revis is still better than 95% of the league. He wasn't even bad but you could see teams trying to go at him, mostly the Broncos.

Wayne didn't get one pass thrown his way on a route Revis covered...it was great.

Asomugha >>>>> Revis

Asomugha >>>>> Revis

I'm sick of this shit. Asomugha isn't on Revis' level.

1. Of course teams go at him, he covers their best receiver. In '09 only two CB's were thrown at more than him.

2. Watched very little of the game, can't comment.

Revis was not that good this season. I saw teams go at him and saw him give up more completions and touchdowns than the best player in the NFL should. I also saw Cromartie covering #1's a lot instead of Revis. Wonder why?

I think Asomugha actually had a better year than Revis did.

 

[Aso]

He was bad at the start because of so much missed time then had an injury and when he played injured he was horrible. The first game back I believe was vs Detroit where Calvin had I think 1 catch for 13 yards. Before then I give him a pass.

Revis played great last season, but until he can stay on that elite level for a few full seasons, he isn't on Nnamdi's level.

Nnamdi's never done what Darrelle Revis is doing now. So you can't say he has the same impact as Revis. He sits on one side of the field and gets thrown at once or twice a game. It's hard to even say what level Nnamdi has been playing at because of this. I know in '09 he allowed 15 catches on the 20 passes thrown his way which is not great. I couldn't tell you those numbers this year.

In '09 and '10 when Revis is healthy he has a much bigger impact than Nnamdi has ever had on the Raiders. The seasons argument is complete horseshit as well. If we're discussing who is more hall of fame worthy then thats a legit argument but when discussing who's better right now how many season's a players been doing what is completely irrelevant. Nnamdi is a very good player but Revis and his impact on the Jet's defense and on an opposing offense isn't even comparable.

So if you want to go by what someone does in one season, Arian Foster better than Adrian Peterson? Brandon Lloyd better than Andre Johnson?

This isnt 2009. He had a mediocre year.
Played stupendous last week. Welcome to the divisional round with an MVP and Greatest coach of the era.
As Parcells would say dont break out the annointing oils just yet.

Revis has also played on much better defenses than Nnamdi. One corner is not going to make an entire D better no matter how good he is.

The Raiders have been one of the worst run defenses in the league over the last few years because teams don't want to or need to pass because they've been able to run.

The Jets, on the other hand, have run an extremely aggressive blitz defense that gets pressure on the QB instantly. The Raiders rarely ever blitzed under Rob Ryan and the corners were left on an island by themselves routinely. It is much easier to play corner for a D coached by Rex Ryan, that is loaded with talent and revolves around a heavy blitz scheme.

Nnamdi has done just as well as any corner in the league when it comes to shutting down number 1 WRs. You're just hating on Nnamdi for reasons I don't understand.

This previous year Asomugha didn't just shadow one side he followed the best WR around. Asomugha is better than Revis.
