Revis anyone?

Mitchell is a lot faster. If anything they would sign him to compete with Cockrell.
 
If we don't change our scheme it doesn't matter who we bring in. Revis will be the guy playing soft coverage. ..that's all.

We can't change our scheme - you will get soft zone pass defense because none of our CB's can cover one on one and our LB's are slow in coverage and we have no pass rush except for Debo.

It is what it is and it's not changing.
 
I think Revis would be a third CB in Pitt. His tackling really fell off last year. Not sure safety would be a good fit.
 
He was pretty bad last year, not good enough to knock Cockrell out of the line up, we need a better corner than Cockrell, Gay was really bad last year and I don't even consider Golson as a member of the team.

He had one bad year after a HOF career, I'd give him a shot - give him a $1M vet minimum deal and $2M signing bonus - Jets will pay the rest of the $6M he's owed.

Puff puff pass if you think he's taking anything less then 4/5 mil a year.

We can stretch the signing bonus from 2-3M if you like, after our $1M vet minimum salary - he still gets $6M from us and the Jets


He was in the ProBowl in 2015, we can squeeze a starting spot for him from our bums somewhere in the secondary

Maybe you should get some glasses and not question my reading comprehension.
 
Safety though? What's his run support like? I don't think it's what we need from our safeties
 
I take back what I said on page 1 about Revis grading out as one of the worst corners in the league last year. I read on ESPN today that he actually graded out as THE WORST Corner.....in the entire NFL last year. That along with the probable convictions he is about to get hit with spell a great big pass for me. Don't see the upside. We are first class reactionaries here when a game goes badly. Remember how optimistic we all were about Burns and Davis before the Patriots game? Let me refresh you, everyone was flying pretty high on how great their potential is. Now all of a sudden they suck because Tom Brady embarrassed them for 60 minutes. **** happens! It doesn't mean you throw the baby out with the bath water. Get a grip people.
 
Revis had a bad year, but I think you have to take those rankings with a grain of salt. I doubt revis was the worst cb in the league.

not sure who is saying Burns or Davis sucks.

I think the majority want Gay **** upgraded.

Wouldn't that be super?

:wave:
 
he still would be 20 times better than gay sign him 1 yr 1.75 mill and put him at FS Mitchell to SS in the nickel shazier olb davis mlb.
Now is the perfect time to bring back Revis to Pitt cost wise experience vs top end receivers playoff experience could really mentor Burns and Cockrell as a DB signing for less toplay home with a contender is the best way he can go out on route to Canton.

Lol. **** Burns is never a good thing. The Steelers can make it great though. I mean all jokes aside **** wasn't his best in 2016. **** was hard in 2015 and showed promise. Burns is young, potential and showed some very great promise as the season wore on. I do think maybe Revis can play FS. Who knows, maybe be a bit similar to Ed Reed. I thought long and hard about this(no **** jokes either xD) if the price is right bring Revis in

Thinking long and hard, about gay **** is one thing. Implementing a strategy and insuring less gay **** to suck on the field may be the way to go. If burns is in the mix of gay **** then a specialist such as revis maybe needed. The cost is definitely a consideration but a burning gay **** is worth some money to get changed.
