PFM18 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 At one time, the best cover corner in the game. Revis Island wasn't just a gimmick, it was an actual situation where wide receivers could literally not get in the game due to Revis. Such a great defender to watch in his prime. All the best to him in his retirement and what he decides to do in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 The best CB in the NFL from about 2009 to 2012. Loved watching him play in his prime. Sucks that CB's have such a short span of dominance before it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Heck of a player and career, congrats on being able to walk away Sherman comments on Revis: https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/richard-sherman-seahawks-what-you-dont-know-about-cornerback "Let’s look at a comparison a lot of people have made in recent years: Richard Sherman vs. Darrelle Revis. Revis and I both play at the line of scrimmage, but he plays it totally different than I do. People look at us and say, “They’re both at the line of scrimmage, so they’re both playing press. So it’s the same.” That’s what it looks like — but we’re actually playing two different versions of press. Revis uses a technique some corners call soft-shoeing. It’s where you stand at the line of scrimmage — in press — and slowly shuffle back off the line at the snap and mirror the receiver. It’s a pretty common way of playing press, and Revis is very adept at it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elky Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Pats Nation will always be thankful for his contributions in 2014; wouldn't have won that Super Bowl without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhanYouDigIt Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I remember the Jags planned on trading up with the Steelers to select Revis but the Jets jumped ahead of them. Heck of a career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 From Sam Monson twitter: "This is the kind of stuff Revis used to allow you to do on defense: Free Safety leaning away, Revis trusted to just lock his man down and erase the opposition's #1 WR. Look how congested the other side of the field now is with defenders." https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DiaSrPrUcAAi7ah.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
