Revis vs. Moss - Part II
Thursday, October 7, 2010
If you'll all remember a few weeks back for me when the New York Jet played the New England Patriots, you may recall an interaction between two disputing athletes. In case you forgot, it was settled with this:
Making that one-handed catch was ex-Patriot wide receiver Randy Moss, and struggling to catch him was Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis. What makes this interesting is the fact that Revis was quoted as calling Moss a "slouch" during the offseason, and with the media being what it is, the match-up was built up and hyped like crazy. After getting beat on the play Revis went out with a hamstring injury, and a lot of people have speculated whether the injury was an excuse or for real. Luckily for those people, answers may come this Monday night as the Vikings and newly acquired wide receiver Randy Moss take on the Jets with recently-healed and expected-to-play Darrelle Revis. Reports this week claim that Revis has been practicing and is expected to play on Monday night in the Meadowlands.
It's as if they were meant to be together. Just as Revis is getting back to full health, Moss gets traded and will immediately test that newly rehabilitated hamstring that he burned just a couple weeks ago. My guess is that Revis is going to have somewhat of a "lingering" pain in the hammy making it hard for him to cover Moss (and make sure to look for extra limping from Revis any time a receiver he's covering makes a catch). I'm putting my money on Moss, and don't be surprised if Revis is on the DL again come Tuesday.
