I’ve heard/seen it all and really, I understand why people see Talib’s aggressive style and might prefer it, but I think it’s not time to worry about Revis. His season will be defined by the next six games with the Patriots, not his tardiness or somewhat up and down performances so far this season (and make no mistake, there has been plenty of “up”).
Without Chandler Jones and Jerod Mayo there will be enormous pressure put on this secondary. They’re facing an unrelenting list of great receivers and quarterbacks. So the table is set for Revis.
Let’s see how he does vs. Marshall, Demaryius, Reggie/TY, Calvin and Jordy before we get too concerned with what Revis’ future with the Pats will be.
He’s a smooth and calm player and that can hurt him a bit when he gives up catches and it’s easy to say he’s not trying. But let’s remember the kind of trouble that Talib’s aggression has gotten him into – injuries and meltdowns (see at Panthers last year).
I’ll reserve judgement on Revis until we see him tested against the best. Until then, there will be great football games to enjoy.
