Calvin vs Revis

[Microwahevo]

Who gets the better end of the matchup this week? Will Calvin explode? Will Revis hold him to 13yds like he did last time they faces each other? Or will each player get their own?

Interesting question. I didn't realize that Revis did that good of a job last time they faced. I'll be surprised if he is able to do that again, so I'll go with each make some plays. Definitely an interesting matchup.

Calvin will have 150+ yards and a td

Revis is not the same since the knee. He is still a good corner, but not the shutdown corner he used to be. Megatron should have his way with him.

Megatron will have a good day. Revis just hasn't been the same since his injury.

No one can stop CJ right now.

PFF has him rated as the best Corner in the NFL...

The only game that I've seen him play this year was against Miami a couple of weeks ago and I thought he looked really good. Probably isn't as good as he was before he got hurt, but that doesn't mean that he won't fully recover at some point. He is unlikely to totally shut Johnson down, but he is probably still able to cover him as well as any CB in the league.

From what I've read earlier in the season he's been used in zone coverage where he still held his own but as we all know it doesn't fully utilize Revis... he's 100% now and he's switched back to man coverage and he's still has his island. Seems to me the only thing Revis isn't getting now is exposure, which is expected

The last time they faced was in Matt Stafford's 13th game in the NFL.

ESPN:

Things have changed since that day (that Revis held Johnson to 1 catch in 2010). Revis tore his left ACL last season, and is still not completely back from the injury. Johnson, meanwhile, has put up four straight 1,000-yard seasons, including in 2010.
Johnson’s timing and familiarity with Stafford has grown since then. Stafford has matured as a passer and Johnson, somehow, has gotten better as a receiver.

Revis knows he held Johnson to 1 catch before, but he isn’t using that as a barometer of being able to do it a second time.
“I’m not worried about even that stat or trying to better that stat,” Revis said. “That was years ago"

Revis on Calvin J:

“It’s like he’s a create-a-player on 'Madden' where you put overall is 99, got the fastest speed on there His strength and everything is maximized to another level.”

Revis is overrated. Calvin all day.
