It is what it is! There’s always a possibility of this when a trade happens, but damn — Revis isn’t even trying to hide it. He’s telling all kinds of Jets’ secrets to his new team. Sunday’s Jets/Bucs game (at 1p on Fox) will definitely be an interesting one!!!
Check out what he had to say about it…
Via ESPN:
When the New York Jets traded Darrelle Revis to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in April, they gave up more than just one of the NFL’s best cornerbacks. They also gave away much of their playbook.
Revis, who will open the season Sunday with his new team against his old team, said he’s been sharing secrets about the Jets with his coaches and teammates.
“It’s just one of those things, when a player comes from another team, [offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan] is asking a couple of questions about [the Jets’] defense and what are the base calls, I spill them,” Revis said. “I’ll spill the beans and let him know what we used to run and let him know what things Coach [Rex] Ryan might do. It’s almost like stealing a little bit. That’s what you’ve got to do. You take the information and pass it to the offensive coordinator.”
Revis said he also has been breaking down the Jets’ receivers for the other members of the secondary.
“I know these guys,” Revis said. “I played against them every day in practice. I’ve got a bunch of tips on those guys and the good thing about it is I’ve been sharing them with our secondary, telling Leonard [Johnson] tips about these guys, telling Johnthan Banks, telling Dashon [Goldson]about it and Mark [Barron] as well. We’ll come into this game real comfortable just from the experience I had there and knowing these guys.”
