Today at 1:00 p.m. at MetLife Stadium, the NFL's best cornerback, Darrelle Revis, will face off against his former team when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers face off against the New York Jets. The game can be live streamed here; Jets fans can listen in on Revis' return on 98.7 ESPN FM, while Bucs fans can turn their dials to WDAE 620.
Jets quarterback Geno Smith made waves this week when he said he didn't need to watch film of Revis because "he knows his reputation." Revis laughed it off and said advised Smith to get in the film room, because Revis would be studying him.
While facing Revis is never pleasant for an offense, this may be the best time to go up against him. He is coming off an ACL tear last season and has not played in any preseason games.
"When I go out to practice, I just try to make plays like I have in the past. That's how I've got to approach it. I can't sit here and get down on myself if I don't, if I'm a step late on a play," Revis said. "I've just got to keep on improving and keep on building on me getting in shape and getting back to where I used to be playing at an elite level."
Revis also said he would be imparting his intimate knowledge of the Jets to his Bucs teammates in an attempt to give them the upper hand.
"I know these guys. I played against them every day in practice. So I've got a bunch of tips on those guys," Revis said. "And the good thing about it, I've been sharing them in our secondary. ... We will come into this game real comfortable. We really will, just from the experience I had there and knowing these guys."
