What about the broken coverage in the secondary that left the raiders tight end wide open on the right side? If Flynn had another second, or this were a more elite QB that would have been good for 6. That area has always been a thorn in our side. This is the reason for picking up Keenan Lewis from Pitrsburgh. I am still waiting to see why he is worth so much after a very short NFL career. I feel like Revis would have been a better choice, or a rookie with the same potential. By the way Lewis stats were as follows: 1 tackle 0 assists. Is he worth the money? He was on the side that had blown coverage. You be the judge. Sure hope he fixes that. I had flash backs of Jason David on that play.

He's a CB. Those kind of stats are what you expect from a good CB.

Revis signed a six-year contract worth $96 million, making him the highest paid defensive back in NFL history.[62] The Jets received the Buccaneers' 2013 first round pick (13th overall) and a 2014 fourth round conditional pick, which can become a third round pick.

On March 14, 2013, Lewis signed a five-year, $26.3 million dollar contract..

No way in hell Revis was an option for us. We could have signed 4 Keenan Lewis's for what the Bucs gave up.

I was actually talking about the ILB's, on screen play coverage with the OLB's blitzing leaving the flats open, I thought they played well. I do agree on Lewis blown coverage, he and V both bit on a pump fake. I believe the Texans game will tell a lot about our secondary.

In his first season starting 16 games(last year), he led the league with 23 pass defenses. And we signed him to a 5 year 26 million contract, unlike Revis who signed a 6 year, 96 million contract. No way we could afford Revis, who is coming off a torn ACL last year, no way to tell if he will be the Revis of old...
