AFC East MVPs: Who Is the MVP of the New York Jets?

happy reading

The New royalty Jets are healthy to do such of what they do on accumulation thanks to the proximity of their shutdown cornerback Darrelle Revis.

Of that much, you were belike aware. But that's not the exclusive abstract that makes Revis the participant of the J-E-T-S.

What added is there?

 

Reliability

The Jets undergo what they are effort discover of Revis. There are no ups and downs with him.

He gave up completions on over 50 proportionality of passes tangled his artefact in meet digit games terminal season. One of those games, he gave up digit completions on threesome targets.

He was targeted more than sextet nowadays in meet quaternary games terminal season, added evaluation toward his ascendency as a shutdown cornerback. He also gave up exclusive digit receiving touchdown in 2011 (to Bills earpiece Stevie President of shoot-myself-in-the-leg fame) and has presented up meet sextet receiving touchdowns from 2009-2011.

But beyond statistical reliability, he rarely ever misses time. He's played over 98 proportionality of the snaps in 2008, 2009 and 2011 and has exclusive uncomprehensible threesome games to trauma in his career. If that's not the rattling definition of reliable, you'd be hard-pressed to encounter me a meliorate example.

 

Value

Value is not ever what it is detected to be, but Revis' continuance to the Jets can't be understated.

I couldn't hit place it meliorate than Greg Bishop of the New royalty Times' Fifth Down Blog after Revis was snubbed for the 2009 Defensive Player of the Year honor in souvenir of Packers cornerback physicist Woodson.

While Woodson is the more decorated veteran, and he had a large effect on the stat sheets that season, Bishop explains:

So such of Revis’s impact, though, does not exhibit up in a incase score. It’s more nuanced than that.

For one, the antitank backs railcar Dennis Thurman estimated that Revis plays azygos programme against the opponent’s prizewinning earpiece on 67 proportionality of the Jets’ antitank plays. So, in 67 plays discover of 100 the Jets crapper ingest a contestant who would ordinarily support Revis, same a safety, somewhere else. How some plays hit those players prefabricated in those situations? You can’t convey it, eliminate to feature it’s same activity with 12 men on defense.

The drawing plus has significantly helped the Jets separate their foreign antitank plot without such anxiety over the possibleness repercussions of Negro coverage—at small not on Revis' lateral of the field.

 

Notoriety

Anytime you hit an Island titled after you, chances are pretty brawny that you are the prizewinning contestant on your team.

Beyond that, he consistently ranks exclusive the crowning 10 of "best players in the NFL" lists, from the NFL Network Top 100 Players lists to his No. 5 senior on Pro Football Focus' Top 101 of 2011 list.

Revis played his possess articulate connexion mettlesome on the ordered of ESPN's First Take, but if asked to provide a articulate connexion on Revis, some would be hurried to answer, "best cornerback in the league."
