Revis vs Gamble

Recommended Posts

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...

    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
    • 6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
