765 No-show showdown
In the ups and downs of the New York Jets, "Island King" Darrell Reeves is a well-deserved top superstar at the league level, and no one can beat it.
Among the current up-and-comers, Richard Sherman, Patrick Peterson and others have been repeatedly compared to Revis, but their style of play is completely different:
Peterson's ability is mainly in pick-and-roll and positioning, so the Arizona Cardinals often put him in the offensive group to use as a surprise player; Sherman's ability is on one side, guarding the Seattle Seahawks' left side of the line, with man marking and slotting being his strengths.
And what about Revis?
Reeves is one of the league's rare fullbacks to cover the left, right, and back, and can even cut inside to defend the slots
In the current era when the running back slotted receiving tactics are becoming more and more popular, this ability is not possessed by most corner backs, forcing the team to only use linebacks to make up for defensive gaps, but the effect is often unsatisfactory, just look at the success rate of the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers' slotted runs, then, Revis's ability is even more valuable.
It is precisely because of Revis's outstanding ability, coupled with the lack of strength of the other New York Jets teammates, that Revis has become an all-round fighter.
During the game, he may only need to mark one player against the opponent, and sometimes he needs to constantly change who he is marking and stifle the opponent's tactical layout by himself
In the 2009 American League final, the New York Jets played against the Indianapolis Colts. Faced with Payton Manning, whose offensive tactics covered the whole court, the Jets defense team struggled, and Revis appeared in every corner of the court, defending five different receivers in the first half alone. But as a result, the Jets still lost that game with a disparity of "17:30".
In addition to excellent physical fitness and strong strength, pre-match tactical preparation is also Revis's killer feature. After the offseason schedule is released, Reavis is willing to spend a week studying a video of an wide receiver until he has studied the player thoroughly before moving on to the next, and taking notes after studying all the opponent's wide receivers thoroughly.
Once the regular season began, Reeves made further adjustments based on his weekly game reading notes. For wide receivers, Reeves is a nightmare.
The reason for this is because the league's head coaches are full of praise for Revis's dedication and want their cornerbacks to do the same. But...... Hardly anyone can do that. Even players like Ke Lu and Payton Manning can't do it because they're quarterbacks and can't study every player on their opponent thoroughly.
Brandon-Marshall, the Chicago Bears' top wide receiver in the league, has publicly stated that he thinks Reeves is the best cornerback in the league, and his defensive skills are impeccable, and although Reeves is only 5.9 feet (180 centimeters) tall, he is always able to jam his position, break the rhythm early on the shoulders of the receivers, and even if the shadow passes behind the shoulders are slightly not in place, Reeves can catch the gaps.
'I've never had a better corner-back than him in man-to-man defence, he's amazing. Me, Randy Moss, AJ Green, Dez Bryant, everyone is the same. He makes it hard for you to get off the tee line, and he gets caught up in his traps when he starts running, and he knows all your habits, your shortcomings, your faults, even if it means what the line is when you lift your foot first. He never loses his place. ”
As a potential Hall of Fame-level wide receiver in the future, Brandon Marshall's rating can be described as top-notch.
One of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, Brett Favre, who spent time at the New York Jets after leaving the Green Bay Packers, didn't like to train with Revis: because Reeves was too serious and too serious, Revis always believed that he needed to keep training up so that he could relax a little more during the official game and enjoy the game to the fullest.
Therefore, even with Favre's training passes, Revis's defense is leaky, which makes Favre extremely headache.
The Jets' current starting quarterback, Mark Sanchez, even has a psychological shadow that doesn't know how to pass the ball whenever he faces Revis.
Sherman has repeatedly provoked Lu Ke in the media, thinking that Lu Ke does not dare to pass in his direction, but in fact, the inner meaning is to follow in the footsteps of Revis, hoping that he can become such a deterrent and dominant cornerback.
Last year, the New York Jets endured an eight-eight-loss season and missed out on a playoff spot at the last minute, and this year, fans and teams alike have high hopes that they can go one step further this year, make it back to the playoffs, or even pull the New England Patriots down.
When this year's schedule came out, the "Revis vs Lu Ke" matchup had already detonated all the focus. You must know that last season's Lu Ke's pass success rate and touchdown interception ratio were extremely appalling, so the showdown between the outstanding new generation of quarterbacks and top veteran cornerbacks will naturally detonate the focus.
Everyone is looking forward to it, and some people even think that "this is Lu Ke's first litmus test", not a matchup between teams and teams, but a confrontation between quarterbacks and corner backs.
What's more, the New York Jets have indeed shown good competitive form after the start of the new season. This also adds more spark and suspense to the matchup.
In the first week, the New York Jets beat their rival Buffalo Bills by a score of "48-28". But what is shocking is that in the fourth quarter of the game, Revis, who gave five effective tackles and one interception, was attacked by the opponent's knee hitting the helmet, resulting in a slight concussion and forced off.
Subsequently, Reeves missed the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second week, and the New York Jets also lost the game by a score of "10:27".
Luckily, Revis made a comeback in the third week, and the New York Jets met their rivals again, this time the Miami Dolphins, and finally decided the winner in overtime, and they had the last laugh with a score of "23-20". However, Revis was not able to play the full game, and after making a drop and stealing the ball, Revis suffered an unknown knee injury and left the field early to go to the hospital for a check-up.
After the game, Jets officials said that Reevis suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his knee and was reimbursed for the season.
Everyone was in an uproar.
In the first five years of his career, although Reeves suffered some minor injuries, which never threatened regular games, this year there was such an accident, and it was the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee, this injury is extremely serious for professional players, and may even collapse from it.
Originally, this year was Revis's contract year, and his rookie contract was about to expire and the team needed to renew his contract, but now after suffering a season-reimbursing injury, the outlook has been clouded. What's worse is that "Lu Ke vs Revis" is in vain, and the top matchup that has been expected for the entire offseason has been in vain.
It's embarrassing, it's embarrassing, and it's even more disappointing.
At the official regular press conference, Lu Ke was also asked about related questions, and he said sincerely, "This is a pity. I'm really looking forward to playing Darrell and cherishing the opportunity to play against a top cornerback. Missed this time, or sincerely hope that there will be a next time. I know that injuries are undoubtedly the worst-case scenario for an athlete and hopefully Darrell will recover as soon as possible. ”
This is sincere, because Lu Ke knows that only by fighting with masters can he further improve himself. I missed this time, and I really don't know when the next one will be.
At present, the New York Jets maintain a two-win and one-loss record, temporarily occupying the division leader, and the New England Patriots challenged the Baltimore Ravens away this week, losing the game with a narrow score of "30-31", suffering two consecutive defeats.
So, although it sounds a little weird to say this, this game is also known as "National League West Champion vs American League East Champion", and fans who don't know the situation still thought it was "Lu Ke vs Brady", and only after turning on the TV did they find out that the cheater had been fooled.
Before the game, the entire league was speculating about how much trouble the New York Jets, who were in good form this season, could create trouble for the San Francisco 49ers without the "Island King" Revis; Taking it a step further, what are the odds of a win for the New York Jets, and how many surprises can the game process and outcome bring?
And also...... Now that the showdown between Revis and Lu Ke is no longer a chance, does Tim Thibaud have a chance to play?
No one will forget that last December, when Thibaught, known as the "Son of God", and Lu Ke, who came out of nowhere, were put together by countless media outlets to discuss whether the two players could prove themselves on the court in a derogatory way of teasing and joking, and now that an offseason has passed, the positions of the two players have been very different, and their careers have developed in different trajectories.
If "Thibaud vs Lu Ke" can be staged, from the perspective of ratings, it should be able to create a lot of topics and make up for the serious loss of Revis's absence.
It's a shame that Rex Lane has no interest at all; Jim Hubble didn't care at all, and didn't respond much even to media interviews, completely putting on an official rhetorical posture.
Judging from the current state of the two quarterbacks, this popular matchup in the mouth of the media is destined to be unstaged.
After the whistle blew for the game, in the face of the overwhelming boos at the Metropolitan Stadium, Lu Ke showed a hot passing touchdown, full of firepower, and completed the first passing touchdown in the opening wave of three minutes and 48 seconds of attack, once again continuing the strong momentum with the highest opening scoring rate, and maintaining this wave of excellent state all the way to the end of the game.
"47:0", the final score on the scoreboard is really too dazzling. 2k reading web
