When A Prime Calvin Johnson Went to Revis Island 

i mean he did retire early so yeah

It kinda was really

@Human Peeing All of these are very true

@Human Peeing Seahawks were a running team until Russel Wilson got there. Wouldn't of helped him that much

@Human Peeing that wouldnt really change much on the injury side. he woulda been a top wr no matter where he played and opposing teams would have still targeted his legs because of his size. same thing that happened with rob gronkowski,he was in the perfect place but opposing players targetting his legs caused too many injuries to just carry on from.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate your username.

Yes he was bad but he was a decent leader

I don’t think it was mark Sanchez that did that lol that’s like saying Blake bortles took the Jaguars to the AFC championship in 2017

@@Bro-ww9de and Garoppolo took the 49ers to the super bowl

Let’s just take a moment to remember that jay cutler took the bears to the nfc championship game

He got robbed when they gave it to Woodson

@@footba11fan41ife Woodson was doing it all that year he definitely deserved it

Nah I remember that same season thinking the same thing but woodson was shut down on defense (period) On The run game and pass game

@@Anthony-mc3ep lol revis did it all that yr too. He was a zone corner he didnt follow the opponents best WR. Come on bruh... Im a woodson fan too but they robbed revis.

Lol he was pass interfering the whole game

About the same as 2004 completely over powered. Also 2017 draft was fire

@@DragRacer221x the 2011 class is probably the best class of all time

Also Patrick WIllis, Joe Staley, Eric Weddle and Beast Mode. That draft was full of studs

@@kingdan2164 That class didn't have the depth to be in that conversation. In fact, it was a legitimately awful class once you got past the top 17 or 18. The top of the draft, however, was fire.

JaMarcus Russell #1 overall my raiders 💀

no they haven't forgot, why do people say dumb things like this. and revis had a long, great career, what are you talking about?!

@@prufrok I think you need to learn comprehension. I didn't say he didn't have a long great career, I said he had a short prime due to injuries. He was the best CB in the game but only for like 4 years then injuries took their toll. And also people don't put him up there with the Deions and Rod and Charles Woodsons where he belongs. He gets overlooked.

His prime was short but amazing and this is coming from a dolphin fan !

Never seen anything like it. It’s like he knew the routes 😂😂

All CBs have a short prime

But also Revis was a Top 3 CB for like 5-7 years thats very very good for a corner

@@paytonklein8861 aaron Donald been good for a bit Edit: stop roasting me I read the comment wrong

@@zitchzitch9524 cbs?

@@paytonklein8861 thats not true charles was in his prime for like 9-10 years

Using numbers from football reference. He played 15 games and was targeted 137 times. This puts his targets per game around 9.1 That being said, Darrelle Revis had a 4 year peak before that nasty knee injury in 2012. Even then though, not being quite the same as he was, he appeared in 3 probowls afterwards. Even Revis at 80% what he was was still a top 10 corner in the league. Revis island is a prime vacation spot because you might as well relax, you aren't going to be doing anything anyways.

Yes that’s pretty crazy to think about.

Couldn’t of said it better myself. 💯💯💯

Revis might be the best all around cb to ever play. Unlike most top corners defensive scheme didn't really matter as he could play man 2 man or zone, he could also play left/right/nickel which most top corners don't do as they like to stay to one side or at least to the left or right. I will say though that Champ Bailey in his prime was insanely dangerous and I'd put him right up there with Revis when it comes to locking down the opponents best receivers.

Probably the best way to neutralize Revis was to do what the Pats did. get a bunch of nobody WRs out wide, force Revis to cover Welker in the slot where he can't use the sideline.

**A very old up randy moss

Like John said. But a younger and Prime Moss would’ve torched Revis. Even Dieon Sanders struggled against Moss and said was the hardest receiver that he had to cover.

@@christopherlee5902 I doubt it. There’s no difference in skill between Megatron and Moss. Not saying Moss couldn’t make a play or two on Revis but prime Revis is most likely shutting him down. Moss and Megatron in their primes are two of the most talented receivers ever. But I’m taking Revis in that matchup

Did you all miss that deep bomb touchdown over revis? Brady to moss. Revis got mossed.

@@christopherlee5902 deon said rice was the one he had more trouble covering

Supa fax

That was because he had delhomme throwing to him...look at the interception he threw...it hit smith in the foot lol

Smith was a pitbull out there.

and no one locks down Shmitty

i forgot about cromartie but he was so good too

Cromartie gave phillip rivers a run for his money with 11 kids lol

Revis and his other Corner was always Top 5 on the strength of 24

Revis and Browner was a better duo

@WorldFlex I'm also a pats fan

He's like a cat out there. Agility, speed, etc.

And when healthy, he would have picked one off! His leaping ability and catch up speed. Receivers were forced to play defense on a perfectly thrown ball!

4:40 was pass interference

@@stellarwind1946 it wasn't lol

@@jreev335 yeah it was, watch in slow motion, he was obviously there early.

Im 6'3 and run a 4.18 and have an iq of 152 so that is much more impressive

@@willbrench924 oh yeah me too I just didn’t have to cameras on

@@funkeybananas1237 I’m 9’4”, run a 2.18, and have an IQ of 746

Moss and TO we’re past their primes though

@@YurMuthurPS3 you still got Calvin and Andre Johnson that were the top 2 WR’s and they couldn’t do anything against him

Lol! Except Revis had to lie about a hammy after Moss torched his ass on the most beautiful one handed touchdown grab.

@@YurMuthurPS3 Actually Moss had his best statistical season as a Patriot. And Revis shut him down twice that season

He didn't do it to Steve Smith tho lol

Used and abused...

not just the lions. most teams targeted gronks legs too and he is the goat TE and had to retire early and now is a shell of his former self with the bucs. then you have aj green,sky was the limit for him as a wr and a string of injuries has left him slower than tom brady. then you have andrew luck,considered a future top 5 qb on potential until his injuries led to a early retirement. luke keachly and ryan shazier. so many players are forced into early retirement and the nfl just acts like nothing happens. and ik they sign up for it and get paid millions before someone tries to use that as a counter argument,its the fact goodell and the nfl ignore it that annoys me.

@@xz9z29 you missed the entire point of his comment and then just started listing random injuries of stars who had nothing to do with anything. Detroit had two of the most explosive, dynamic, and generational talents at their respective positions and did nothing with it because the franchise is garbage and has never known how to supplement obvious superstars

@@RB-rk6qo they also had Stafford and look at what happened

Because they didn't want to continue losing on the NFL worst team for many years. Just like what's happening to the Texans with all their stat players leaving or demanding trades.

Cause it's like WR but instead of getting hit you hit

Same. I tried to study all his tapes onCe I started playing HS football

As a Patriots him helping the Pats win a super bowl also makes him my favorite Jets player.

@@wraith41 tbh he didnt do much lol

@@JordiGaming1999 I know. I’m just taking the chance to rub it in a jets fans face that is favorite player won a Super Bowl with their biggest rivals.

@@wraith41 i know 😆. I still respect him kinda lol jk . He tainted his career with yall jk.

Al Toon? Freeman McNeil? Wayne and Keyshawn?

Yes the way he held Calvin was amazing. Lol

That was the most impressive thing. That’s a rare play right there, don’t remember the last time I saw that. Let alone against Megatron

Thank you! That game was insane.

Lol

Ndamukong? Or However you say his name

He missed an extra point that game....that miss was CRUCIAL.

*missed*

Your dog couldn’t cover Calvin either.

Facts!

Underrated? He was the best for 4/5 years lol. My second best CB of all time

@@kingfargo9578 second best? The other all time great CBs that can be compared played when the league didn't completely hate the position

Thats because on an award the players decide on, the true winners get the award. The players truly know who is the best. Hence no one throwing at Revis.

Half of those players he vs had a bad qb Ike half the time Matt was under throwing him like almost all of them and randy moss wasn't in his prime

​@@dominickmayberr7729 stop with this nonsense. Revis's 2009 is one of the all time great performances of a CB in the history of the league. And the Randy Moss "wasn't in his prime" comment is especially ridiculous. He had 83 receptions for 1264 yards and 13 TDs in 2009. That's better production than Moss's 4th year in the league in 2001 (82 receptions, 1233 yards, 10 TDs). Moss was still playing at a very high level in 2009.

@@dominickmayberr7729 this is one of the worst comments ever

@@dominickmayberr7729 Just stop

dUMBBASS COMMENT,@@dominickmayberr7729

That may be true but wide receivers literally do that all the time. Its subtle but they push off on every other catch.

You get to be physical that’s a good thing you think they’re not suppose to make contact?

My prayers go out to you🙏😔

@@Aka_GodSpeed same

i like the jets from the wonder years. packers first though. would love to see the jets turn a new leaf

not for lions tho

3 or 4 plays in this game were easily missed PI. Revis was famous for it during his "prime". He gave up a lot of penalty yards against some of those other guys too.

It was strange how scrubs always had his number. Ted Ginn was another guy.

This though Revis was a great CB no one has ever done what Prime time did and no one has ever been able to replicate it.

The antithesis of Michael Irvin who pushed off more than any receiver in history, and the douche announcers would call it "creating space".

@@43captrexkramer that's what it was.

@@laur9333 No that's offensive pass interference, unless your a lesser known established player.

Stevie was his krpytonite lol ...Stevie use to kill Revis lol

Nobody shut down THE GREAT Amani Toomer, OK I'm biased. I'm a Giants fan and once went to Bucs and 49ers just to see Rice, he didn't disappoint. Wish I had gone to see Calvin.

Helped when Stevie Johnson would take 9 seconds and make 8 jukes to run a slant route lol

Thank you! I've been working on it lol

@@fballtakes looks like this video did well gg

Not yet but has the potential

@@Strife7x calvin coming out of college had mossing ability on par wit moss. Metcaf has a similar freak of nature build but cmom bruh

This comment did not age well...DK having a average season

Let them no brethren, champ is arguably the greatest cb in my opinion

@@calypsoseraph its a toss up for me. Its him or Charles Woodson. Woodson with a slight edge. He scored 11 TDs off picks. Everyone always picks prime time though.

@@HeyImJ_EST.87 Deion?

@@_SayitAintSo Deion isn’t best for me. Him shying away from contact is what drops him for me. So many missed tackles. Best cover corner. But not all around best cb.

Ty Law had 10 interceptions in a year for the Jets because our D was terrible and couldn't get off the field. Not knocking Champ, but the Jets actually had top ranked defenses those years BECAUSE of Revis (2006 Broncos was middle of the pack). In 2009, they only allowed 8 passing TDs the entire season despite facing Brady twice, Peyton, Brees, Palmer, Matt Ryan. 2009-2010 Revis is the best corner of all time. No other corner has ever been left on an island week in and out like he was and dominated. Much respect to Champ though. He was a beast

Especially andre he was a beast

Hello there.

He is the best of all time

Disagree. Doesn't even point out Calvin or Revis prior to the play.

@@Bigbobbrown12 I didn’t mention content, I’m referring to the overall structure of the video.

@@executive6951 rod or Charles?

Ken Riley Nightrane Lane too before my time (almost 40 haha) but they have a claim to the throne as well

@@aceassn716 of course they do. No way you can make a list of 3 all time. But if I had to, it would be these 3.

It can be a few other names but I agree 100%

Sanders sucked in coverage, and he certainly couldn’t tackle.

@@tomhearns143 how could he suck in coverage or tackling when no quarterbacks would throw to his side of the field

Champ and c woodson as well

Bro i disagree deion number 1

Yes he did

One CB or one CB doesnt make up the team.. and even if the best defense this year, like tampa or something..doesnt meant they woudlnt get burnt by kupp for a td or big yards or hopkins or deebo or jefferson or adamsl etc etc . they ALL have KILLED it against ANY cb.. so for calvin johnson to still get beat by revis, thats saying something because all those other recievers have still produced against big play cbs

Lions and Jets don’t play that often. The one time they could have met again was in 2014 when Revis was with the Patriots. Not sure if they went head to head, but Johnson’s stat line was slightly better but not great in that game (4 catches, 58 yards).

@Gombogeesow no he didnt. Need to rereqd history. Revis was on bucs and lined against johnson. Megstron torched him for 115 yards and a TD. Im not just talking about Jets revis. Thanks

The next season was historic tho for them

Yeah, he had an insane year...but, if your team doesn’t win a championship who cares? The Jets simply haven’t had a strong year in about 20 years.

@@Budd631 ...what? I never said he had an insane year.......who said he had an insane year? 😂 😂

He should be a HOF’er soon I always felt he gave up a short catch, only to punch the ball out, causing a turnover.. He was the best I’ve ever seen at that

Real talk bro

Yea peanut tillman highkey underrated

@@aceassn716 that was about the only thing he could do, that’s what he’s remembered for

L

People acting like Woodson hasn’t shut down Megatron picked him off while targeted multiple times for pick 6’s lol

It’s cause he was injured

@@Tito-kb8wd obviously, but that stat line is crazy. If he was injured they shouldn’t be targeting him 12 times😂

@@princesymbol 5:34 12 targets

A target just means in the vicinity of the receiver, doesn't mean whether it is catch-able or not. A young Stafford (rookie year) was still learning.

@@princesymbol lol I know what a target is

Prob cause ur 18 years old and he is the best wr that u have watched live in your time. But relax buddy

@@BrokeMalone he was just as talented as any wr that ever playing just doesn’t have the same success and years on him

Yeah that title goes to Randy Moss 10 times out of 10.

@@tristanjeffcoat1916 yeah I agree and clearly if he didn't reach his full potential he is a great but not the goat

I'm 28 it's my opinion hes the best of all time good riddance

Uhhhhh, everyone does

If Rice does it, then every receiver does.

he deserved them. niggas couldn’t guard him fr 😂

@@jaaired Ongggg

I mean, refs be on some BS sometimes

without a dought

As someone who considers him highly overrated he most definitely does

He will be

You stopped after ONE catch? You somehow made Mark Wahlberg leaving after 3-28 look not as dumb lol

@@harrisonboogie there were better games on. Even if the matchup was great I’m not watching the jets lions in 2010 all the way through

Physically you cant compare Moss to Calvin.. Dude was crazy big and fast. MEGATRON for a reason...

@@waleedb3191 megatron was stronger but moss could jump higher and was as fast as tyreek hill. I’m just saying that this wasn’t revis’ first time seeing a cheat code.

@@DragonaAuntstar Im sorry Moss was talented too but Calvin physically was out of this world bro. He had a 350 yard game if he played longer he could've broke every receiver record but the lions organization sucks. CALVIN HAD 2 receivers and a safety line up on him in a game too.

What happened when he played randy though? (And yes I know he beat him ONCE)

he probably said that to hype it up a little more, but it was a very important game for their post-season chances

Imagine growing up a Lions fan watching arguably the greatest RB walk away, and the greatest WR walk away...at least Ten wins without Henry.
