Brian Bassett posted something on TheJetsBlog.com the other day that really made me wish it weren’t a Nike ad. It was this:

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

On SNY’s Jets Postgame show after the Jets win on Saturday, Adam Schein mentioned that he voted for Charles Woodson for defensive player of the year. Tom Jackson referred to Woodson as such last night on ESPN.

I don’t think awards are that important and I recognize they don’t often go to the rightful recipient, plus it sounds like a lot of voters are advocating Woodson.

And hey, he’s a great player. I haven’t seen nearly as much of Woodson this year as I have of Revis, but since Woodson’s teammate Aaron Rodgers was my fantasy’s team’s quarterback, I watched a decent portion of most Green Bay games thanks to NFL Sunday Ticket. And yeah, Woodson was impressive. It’s hard to argue with nine interceptions and three touchdowns.

But what Revis did this season was special. There’s really no other way to describe it. Revis didn’t make as many highlight-reel plays as Woodson because he was too busy shutting receivers down. Everyone’s seen the numbers at this point; they’re stunning.

I could care less if Revis gets the hardware, though it frustrates me that anyone could fail to appreciate the type of season he’s having. Jets fans are lucky to have witnessed it, and even luckier that he’s somehow still only 24 and has plenty of time to win defensive player of the year awards in the future.

UPDATE, 2:26 p.m. shamik points out that it looks like the above image is not an actual Nike ad, only Bassett’s photoshop work on top of one of Nike’s LeBron James ads. Shows how much I pay attention to stuff.
