Maybe it's just homerism preference for his own player, but (courtesy of PFT) Rex Ryan thinks Revis is playing better than Woodson as a corner. His specific quote was, "Charles can't go out on a corner like this guy can." He also goes on to say, "Revis would be a great blitzer, but I've got the best cover guy in America sitting over here, so he's going to be covering."
To me, it's obvious this is homerism and sticking up for your own guy. Here's the telltale reason: you can't use unproven, "would-be" scenarios to bolster how good your players is. If Revis hasn't been blitzing, it means jack about how good he is since it hasn't been proved he can be successful at it. All this statement from Ryan proves is that Ryan thinks Revis would be a good blitzer. So he's starting to fill up Revis's DPOY resume with wishes and hopes. Secondly, if Revis is such a great corner, why don't they leave him out on an island against top receivers (i.e. Woodson and Calvin Johnson) instead of shading a safety over him for most of the game?
Your take? Is Revis a better corner than Woodson or not?
