I seriously doubt it as he has given up TD's to big receivers before but we'll see.

I think they will move Andre around to get mismatches. Also look for who ever Lito Sheppard is holding. That guy has regressed and was called for three pass interferences in the game I was watching the other day.

I think that would create a hole in the time-space continuum.

But Andre Johnson could fix it.
How do you think Andre gets open so regularly?
He opens a hole in the Time-Space continuum at the LOS and pops out into the open. It's Andre's extreme sense of fairness keeps him from exploiting that ability for more TDs.

Well. I'm on my blackberry right now so I can only provide what I know about Revis. He's made a lot of progress since being drafted in 2007. I believe he was in last years pro bowl and is probably considered the biggest talent in the Jets defense. I can't dig up any links on him and I'm not very knowledgeable on his work. I has been on the field with Randy Moss 4 times and I don't know how well he did, although it must not have been too shabby.

Yes AJ is an established beast in this offense. Our receiving corps really shines while he's getting first downs and making a lot of YAC. Capable of being a deep threat, will toast you and carry people in. I get that.

I think the Jets may plan on having them go one on one.

The last time a pro-bowl corner went 1-on-1 against AJ, he got 200+ yards.

I voted no. I don't think DReevis can shut AJ down. But since this is a team game, and the Jets have DReevis, Lito Sheppard, and Kerry Rhodes(the most under-rated safety in the league) I think we're in trouble, if we don't have a good plan.

Could he? Sure he could, has shut down guys like Randy Moss and Larry Fitzgerald. Will he? Probably not, AJ is a beast. I doubt AJ has a field day on him, but he'll get his catches.

If I'm the Texans I'd be passing at Lito all day. He's looked horrible.

Oh trust me they will be throwing at him all day long.

You do understand that Revis won't be the only jet on the field come Sunday. Not that I'm knocking you guys or your team but ya'll are more sunshiners than us JETS fans. I really think you should be asking yourselves if your team will get over 500 this year instead of if 1 guy on your team is better than 1 guy on ours. But you do have one HELL of a receiver on your team but we have a few really good playmakers on ours. Go, JETS!

You guys have this same thread going on the jetsinsider board.

Apparently Texans fans are not the only ones giving special attention to this match-up.

By the way, welcome to the board.

Looks like SteveSlaton20 accidentally hit the wrong button, can a mod please fix this.
I don't believe it can be done, fellow sunshiners.

Maybe a question that would spark more debate here is, "Can Dunta Robinson shut down Jerricho Cotchery?". Our new Jet guests might get a good laugh over this one.

Thanks for the welcome. And, by the way, I do like your teams chances this year but until we see what either of these teams are about it should be difficult to discount our team till the game is over. I don't post on that site. THEGANGGREEN.COM, all the way, baby, and we have yet to touch on game 1 really. All the talk is about Brandon Marshall. But, as a JETS fan I will say that EVERY game worries me. 40 years and counting, you know. Good luck but I hope you all will be posting a "this is what we should have done vs. the JETS" come 4:30 on Sun. Go JETS!

Really? when have we ever gone after a weak corner?

Even if a corner/safety gets taken out of the game, and a cold rookie has to come in, we don't attack/exploit that like other teams do. We don't even acknowledge that it happens. We act like we believe one corner is just as good/bad as the next.

It even shows in how we acquire them.

Thankyou so much for coming into my house and telling me how to act?

Would you like for me to prepare my wife & daughters for you as well?

Man you guys can't take any critism at all. Even when I'm not criticizing. Maybe AJ will win the battle against Revis but the other 10 guys will have a little something to say about the outcome. Did I say we'd win? Nope. Just replying to a post.

And ,yes, I realize that but that wasn't the threads topic. You are talking like that is the one area that is a given. You haven't had a winning season so I'm sure you have come to the realization that it takes more than your elite receiver to have one. Man you are an angry group. I haven't said one bad word about your team and you act like I took that one guy up on his offer of his daughter and wife. Go JETS!

Aren't Pace and Ellis out for this game? If so the better question would be will Gholston be able to get through Winston and/or Brown to get to Schaub?

From what I watched of the Jets in preseason Gholston looks like he's still struggling to live up to expectations. It should be interesting to see how he does on Sunday. :turtle:

Criticism is cool.

Not to expect any blow back isn't understandable.

You came in here telling us what we should be worried about. Not considering we may very well be worried about it, but this particular thread was about a particular match-up of this game.

I don't think we've got a thread dedicated to this game yet. But if you read through my post, you'll see that I warn about our team & our coaches taking this game lightly.

I respect your backfield, and have said so.

In a 3-4, the DE's aren't necessarily lined up over the OTs. It depends on what they're thinking, and what they are trying to do. But default situation, the DE's are lined up against the guards.

We're talking 5 on 5 when we're looking at a 3-4, which is why this defense is difficult to run against. All your line men have someone in front of them, so getting to the second level isn't a given for any of the front 5.

In Pass pro, you're exactly right. Calvin Pace would be working against Duane Brown (who has shown difficulty working against a 3-4 rush end) or a tight-end, OD or Dressen.

The guys that concern me the most, out of their front 7, is Kris Jenkins, and Bart Scott. If we have trouble running the ball, it's going to be because of these two.

I understand our passing game dictates our offense. It is after all a WCO. But if we can't keep our offense on the field....... which should be read "running game". We're going to be asking an aweful lot of our suspect defense.

I'm gonna call my shot. If the Jets stick Revis on AJ mano e mano, AJ will take advantage of Revis's 4 inches he gives up to AJ. If Matt Schaub is not getting pressured, it's going to be lights out. He may or may not get into the endzone but he will move the chains if Revis is on an island.

So you think Matt Schaub will be ready for week 1?

You think Schaub has a knack for putting the ball where only AJ can get it?

You think Schaub knows how to take advantage of a mismatch?

I'd like to know why you think such things. I've seen good/great QBs do the things you're talking about. I'm not ready to put Matt Schuab in that group.

If the Texans are even concerned about Darrelle Revis, which I think they should be, you're going to see one of those unexplainable games where we kept the ball out of AJ's hands.

You wouldn't put Matt Schaub in the "good" QB group? Yeah, he's injury prone out the whazoo, but he's been quite good in the time that he has been healthy.

David Carr has looked good in this system. Sage Rosenfels has looked good in this system. Rex freak'n Grossman has looked good in this system.


Jake the Snake has looked good in the system. Bob(??) Griese, the younger done nothing Griese, has looked good in this system.

Elway, Montana, Young, & I'll go out on a limb, and say Cutler has looked out freak'n standing in this system.

Take it how you want.

So...what you're saying is you don't think Plummer, Griese, Elway, Montana, Young, or Cutler are in the "good/great" QB catagory.

... this is one of the prime match-ups that we are very excited/nervous about as jets fans ...

... i did not make a selection in the poll as i am very torn over what will happen here ...

... revis is the jets most talented and consistent player bar none ... jenkins is more important to us ... scott the rabid pitbull on the field implementing rex's grand scheme ... and leon washington more of a homerun threat ... but revis is THE MAN ...

... as far as i can tell AJ is the same for you guys ... please correct me if i'm wrong here ...

... unfortunately our #2 cb spot has been the polar opposite since revis was drafted ... with sheppard this preseason committing pass interference against everyone including the girl scouts coming to his door selling cookies ... and dwight lowery last season and this not having the 5th gear needed to keep up with top receivers when isolated without safety help ... there is not any reason for teams to test revis ...


... i picture a realistic statline for AJ is 6 catches 80 yards ... if that does not include a TD i will be very happy with revis's performance ...

I think this brings up a question about the defense you guys play over there. Do your corners play a side or do your corners play a man? Is Revis going to be singled up on AJ most of the day or can we scheme away from Revis?

In the Raider game last year, a lot of people said that Asomugha shut AJ down but it was really the play-calling more than anything else that shut him down. He was used mostly as a decoy that day and it didn't work. The Raiders played sides for the most part, iirc, and so sometimes Asomugha was on AJ and sometimes not.

A thing about this offense is that all the receivers are pretty good and have their function and the QB's usually spread the ball around pretty good.
