The New York Jets were touted as having one of the best defenses in the league but it sure doesn’t look like it as they head to Foxboro to take on the Patriots with a 1-5 record. Granted they’ve dealt with numerous injuries including CB Dee Miliner suffering a season-ending torn achilles. The days of having “Revis Island” are gone as he’s now playing for their rival, a fact that makes Jets’ coach Rex Ryan feel ill.
via NY Post:
Rex Ryan joked Tuesday he feels “a little sick to my stomach” seeing Darrelle Revis in a Patriots uniform.
Ryan desperately wanted to bring Revis back in March, when it was clear the Buccaneers were going to trade or release the cornerback.
But owner Woody Johnson and Idzik wanted no part of a reunion. You can understand Johnson’s hesitation after two contract holdouts and the threat of another in Revis’ six years here.
Revis then joined forces with Bill Belichick and the surging Patriots and will face his old team on Thursday night.
