Jets’ Revis returns to New England as an enemy _ again

That means the AFC East — and the rest of the National Football League, for that matter — might have to deal with the New England Patriots quarterback for a while longer. I’d expect the Jets to blitz a little less and hope that their line of Muhammad Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson, Leonard Williams and whoever else is out there can knock around Brady.

Bowles said of Revis making the biggest difference when going against an elite offense and quarterback, “I think he makes his impact week-in and week-out. But he moved on, so now he’s our competition again”.

The New York Jets (4-1) are one of the feel good surprise teams of the 2015 National Football League season. Richardson also acknowledged the road to the AFC East title still goes through New England.

The Jets (4-1) have usually given the Patriots a tough game. He was a pleasure to coach, and really has a great understanding for the game. New York has found a lot of success on the ground.

Ryan Fitzpatrick wasn’t even slated to start at QB over the incumbent starter Geno Smith after being acquired in the offseason.

The Jets will need all the defensive backs they can suit up against the Patriots’ passing attack.

The New York Jets are a big eight point underdog this week against the Patriots at Gillette Stadium. It won’t be easy, as the Patriots have run every team they’ve played out of the building, but Richardson is confident, to say the least.

“As long as nothing goes wrong, yes, he should be OK”, coach Todd Bowles said.

“The number was too high”, Revis said Wednesday from New York.

“For us, it’s still early in the season. There’s a lot of good things they have going on on defense and we’ll have to be on top of our game to be effective”. If they get in Brady’s head, he might make a few mistakes and give the Jets great chances to accumulate points.

It’s tempting to try and think about what could’ve been, but for Jets fans, it’s probably a better idea not to.

He has 37 catches for 511 yards and four touchdowns, the last score stunning quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick when Marshall made a terrific fingertips catch just off his shoe tops on a poor throw and then scooted down the sideline for a 35-yard TD. That said, both Forte and Freeman have far more carries than Ivory on the season. “No, I’m ready to play”. The Jets brought him in, having seen enough of him against them to know he could be valuable once he got healthy. Revis’ stay in New England was short, but his former teammates believe they reaped long-term benefits from observing the way he prepared (hard) and played (harder).

Thompkins was promoted this week from the Jets’ practice squad.

With Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski garnering most of the defense’s attention each play, Amendola was New England’s leading receiver last week against the Indianapolis Colts.

Revis spent the first six years of his career with the Jets, before playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2013 and the Patriots last season.
