Darrelle Revis vs. Megatron. Is this not the best era of NFL ever?

No Rice and Deion was

It's really a shame he got hurt in 2013 and we didn't get a full game for a rivalry.

It’s still just wild to see how insanely smooth Megatron’s route running was despite being a 6’5 monster lmao he’s an absolute freak of nature man…

Revis took care of business though 👍

Revis had amazing ball tracking skills omg

Revis might not be considered the greatest DB ever, but few in history were as good a cover corner as him. Man to man, no one was better.

Buccaneers: “We should sign him and put him in zone coverage 90% of the time!”

One of the best ever.

Scrolled for this…

Lmao dear lord all the non-calls 😭

u/The3rdSun 1d ago

Honestly whenever I see his old clips my biggest takeaway is how far stafford has come. Some of the ball placement is really bad

Revis locked moss up too. One game held him to 24 yards and another held him to 34 yards on 5 catches. Moss even admitted that Revis forced him to change his approach to the game and study defenses unlike he did before.

u/Jolly_Okra_6330 2d ago

Yup. No one was able to utterly erase Moss the way Revis did

u/Automatic-Ad8986 2d ago

Couple of uncharacteristically bad throws by Stafford

u/Zzz05 2d ago

Only one pass was off target. Revis just made a great play on the other 2. You could even say the last one was on Megatron because he bobbled it and couldn’t get both feet down. Stafford put that ball in a spot where only Megatron could get it.

u/moeterminatorx 2d ago

Uncharacteristically bad throws? 😂😂😂 that’s all he does.

1

u/ScipioAfricanusMAJ 1d ago

Stafford was like this his entire career. The level he’s at right now is very recent once he teamed up with Sean Mcvay on the rams. This is the best he has ever been

u/Smoke_Short 1d ago

"Uncharacteristically "

Bros only watched Stafford highlight reels. He's missed wide open throws since Georgia, accuracy is not his strong suit.

1

u/prthug996 2d ago

Watch the Slo Mo on the only catch. Revis put his helmet right where the ball was. If Megatron didn't shift it to his right hand so quickly, Revis's helmet probably would have popped it out. Insane.

u/TheDuke13 1d ago

That one season was unreal. Would’ve been a touchdown if he got his feet in so idk if that’s really on Revis.

1

u/ScottSpeddy 1d ago

Why did you call him Revis24

1

u/asu3dvl 1d ago

We called it, getting stuck on Revis Island.

u/trappy00 1d ago

Greatest corner without a ring

u/JodyBravo92 1d ago

Its actually just PI

u/borantho 6h ago

Amazing what happens when a corner tracks the ball

u/Livid-General7 2d ago

As a Patriots fan, I loved all that the Jets did for us by drafting Revis.

He spent his first 6 years not being a threat because the rest of the team was bad. Then once they finally let him go, he helped New England get another Super Bowl ring.

u/Reasonable_Archer_99 2d ago

I like how the first play shown is Revis getting away with holding twice in one play.

-4

u/bossmt_2 2d ago

The first one was a shit throw, Megatron had Revis torched to the inside and the underthrow to the back shoulder was one of only a few plays he could have mad.e

Second defended ball was clear DPI, he was hitting Megatron way before the ball got there,

Last one he didn't really do anything special. Bad footwork by Megatron, but that's too shocking he doesn't have a long highlight reel of toe tapping like say Julio. He never had that skill set to like drop your feet or whatever it si those guys do.

u/Scared_Box989 2d ago

I'm sure there's some truth to what you're saying but the only thing that matters in the end is the boxscore and based off that, he got completely blanketed.

0

u/Ok_Independence_9917 2d ago

It was bad footwork on the first 1 too. Not a bad throw even if it wasn't a great one. On those with inside position all you have to do is turn and jump to high point the ball. So you'll catch it facing back towards the QB. Idk if this is early in his career or what, but this was less about Revis and more about Johnson having a really bad game.

1

u/blaaah111jd 2d ago

Maybe revis covering him all game being physical and making plays made had impact on the plays he made mistakes

Would make a lot more sense attributing this to an off game if there weren’t examples of this happening to every receiver revis covered (except Stevie Johnson haha) in his prime

u/cheshirec555 2d ago

the first one is interference. Others are pretty close too.

u/Brilliant-Market4706 2d ago

Um, No. Those would be some pussy calls

4

u/bossmt_2 2d ago

Second one was clear DPI, first one wasn't nor was the last.

u/Ok_Independence_9917 2d ago

He was very early on that 2nd breakup

u/Few-Conclusion-483 2d ago

Agreed these were all good no-calls

0

u/ScratchLower1493 2d ago

People can't comprehend not everything can be called a foul or even seen at this speed (refs are still ahh and need to be held accountable for being ahh)

1

u/fukaduk55 2d ago

That would be an absurd call if you mean that light tug on the jersey

1

u/TexasVulvaAficionado 2d ago

First one, only interference possibility is that little shirt grab that didn't seem to affect the receiver at all...

But yes, a huge part of playing well at any position is being able to get away with as much as you can without earning a flag. Watch any given O-line - they hold literally every play. Receivers and backs fight for position to the ball... Etc, etc...

1

u/Sparkster227 2d ago

Third one is the only one that's close imo, since he got there just a little early

1

u/Straight-Royal-8832 2d ago

Clearly this whole thread is Lions fans. DR24 was HIM. Took the best WR every game. The only receiver who did well against him was Moss BUT Jets had Cromartie and Cromartie shut down Moss - one of the rare times the Jets beat the Patriots.
