This is what he said before the Denver game. A pretty big game for the Jets now disappearing playoff hopes.
Jets' Darrelle Revis says Tim Tebow's option offense can't work long-term in NFL | NJ.com:
Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis said today that while he thinks an option-style offense could possibly be successful in the NFL long-term — he doesn't think it can be with Tebow.
"Yeah, if you have Michael Vick and, I don't know, Chris Johnson at running back," Revis said in advance of the Jets' game at Denver on Thursday. "Yeah, it can work. Those are probably the two fastest guys that can probably get out on the edge on you. Yeah, those two."
What about Tebow?
Revis paused in thought and finally said, "No."
Not for a whole season?
"No, not for a whole season," Revis said. "Because we know what they're doing, and we feel comfortable in our game plan."
Revis called Denver's style of offense "Wildcat with a good passer." He said Tebow, the second-year player out of Florida, must be motivated by all the skeptics."
And her's what Revis actually delivered when the game was on the line.
I guess the Broncos offense CAN work if Tebow plays against tacklers like Revis and his solid technique all season. Maybe he fell asleep during this pivotal drive. What with the game on the line and the fans screaming and junk, he may have fallen asleep.
To add to his stellar resume this week, against the cross-town rival Giants, Revis can actually be seen pulling away from Ahamd Bradshaw -- again during a pivotal drive -- with the Jets season on the line.
Revis is #24 offering no help to teammate Rodney Poole as Bradshaw runs him over. In fact, at about the :40 second mark, it almost appears as if Revis is pulling "away" from offering any help to Poole.
Revis is just like his coach. All talk, no action. He should learn how to tackle better, especially playing for a coach who built his reputation as a defensive genius. Rex Ryan must be so proud. I think I know how Buddy Ryan would feel.
