“We’d all feel better if he did practice,” Ryan said. “Let’s see how he’s moving around. It could be that we think he looks great and we fly to Denver and all of a sudden, he’s not great.”
Revis was amenable to taking the cautious approach that would give him an additional 15 or so days to rehab and rest before the Packers game. However, he’s fully aware of the fickle nature of hamstring injuries. “I can rest this game and rest the bye and come back and it’s still the same situation,” Revis said.
Revis hasn’t lost sight of the big picture.
“It’s a long season,” Revis said. “We don’t want to re-injure it.”

Little bit of strangeness coming out of Jets camp about Revis and his injury. Maybe I’m paranoid because I’m a Mets fan grown accustomed to the miscommunication and mishandling of injuries, but it kind of sounds from this and a couple other articles like Revis doesn’t feel up to playing on Sunday and Rex Ryan is trying to push him toward it.
But then earlier in the article, Ryan admits he put too much trust in Revis to diagnose himself before Monday night’s contest and that, as a competitor, Revis will always want to be out there.
Obviously I’m not a doctor so I’ll resist speculation. It seems like playing it safe is the best option, even if passing the ball is pretty much the only thing the Broncos do well.
But then the counter to that is to argue that Revis needs reps to get up to speed, and so should push through the injury if it’s not going to get any worse since that’s what he needs to do to return to playing like Darrelle Revis.
Because the big issue is that Revis got tossed around and beat badly by the likes of Percy Harvin on Monday night, and the Jets’ secondary — presumed to be a strength heading into the season — appears like it could be the club’s Achilles heel if Revis can’t get right.
I’d err on the side of caution. Brian Bassett agrees. Obviously every game is important in a 16-game schedule, but resting Revis now betters the chances he’ll be full strength and again dominant during the playoffs, plus provides the added benefit of more reps to Kyle Wilson, who could use some getting up to speed himself.

Harvin’s a tricky matchup for Revis to begin with– superior “quicks,” and running mostly slants and quick crosses from the slot (he’s Welker with more quick-twitch muscle fiber, essentially). Add in the fact that he’s got to keep one eye on helping with gang-tackling Peterson AND is another half-step slower due to the hammy… let’s just say that Harvin’s day wasn’t a huge surprise.
The bye’s in a week, the team has a knuckler-of-a-road-game ahead (short week, pass-happy O that will work the secondary like it was a rented mule), and the Jets are in a good place with regard to overall- and division-record. Why is starting Revis even a consideration?
Pssht. This clown’s been mailing it in all year. I have no sympathy. The Jets are paying out of their ass for this guy suck it up and get on the field! WTH was he doing all offseason anyway? Hiding in his mother’s basement in Pittsburgh eating ice cream? This is the same guy who spent all 09 offseason training in Arizona and slavishly breaking down film of opposing WRs? He got tossed around by Percy “Not-tonight-I-have-a-headache” Harvin!
