Except it already is. Despite the HBO show, despite LaDainian Tomlinson and the rest of New York’s star-studded crop of free agents, Revis’ absence is the purveying theme surrounding Jets camp. One sure sign that the lack of Darrelle is officially a big deal? Rex Ryan is saying crazy things about it:
“Our expectations with Darrelle, without Darrelle, aren’t going to change,” the head coach said after all his defensive players but the one who matters most reported on time.
Then, a few beats later, Ryan added the whopper: “It’ll be the best defense in the league.”
Revis’ importance to the Jets D has been beaten to death, but allow us to reiterate: he locks down an entire side of the field. His presence allows the Jets’ head coach to stack the box and do all of his crazy Rex Ryan blitzes. Without him, they are a completely different team, and not in a good way.
