Personally I think Cromartie is good enough to cover Welker in this game,he has not played as bad as some have thought he would.
I just saw stats that Revis in his past 4 games has not allowed more than 32 yards to the receiver he has covered,thats just unbelievably good and he is back..Andre Johnson was the guy with the paltry 32 yards.
I can safely say that whoever Rex sends Revis on we need Brady to look the other way,that guy will be a non factor.
I see Revis taking away Brady's all time favorite receiver and his favotite target downfield,Deion Branch...it might be Welker but with the unpredictable Rex, the expectations do not always occur.
I hope to God that Ryan is stupid enough to put Cromartie on Welker. That is a huge missmatch in the Pats' favor. Cromartie is a big physical CB. He is better suited to take on big receivers who go down the field. Unless he can knock Welker off his route at the line of scrimmage, there is no way he can consistently keep up with Welker with the routes he runs. Cromartie has had a good year, but his skill sets are not suited to take on a guy like Welker. He will be better suited for the Jets to either cover Gronk, Branch, or Hernandez.
As for Revis, he is still great, but his season has been overrated. Until TO, he hasn't been following the primary receiver on every play like he did last year. He has given up plays, but dominant.
As for throwing the other way from Revis, I disagree. You shouldn't be afraid of him. By his own admission, covering small, fast WRs isn't his strong suit. So Branch or Welker can potentially make plays on him. Like Cromartie, Revis excels at taking on big, down the field WRs. That why he can do well against guys like Megatron, Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, etc. Revis is physical and can fight down the field, but can he do nearly as well at following a short WR who is running a short route and changing directions 90-180 degrees on a dime. That isn't the game he is used to playing. Those are the type of receivers the Pats have.
You go to the Jets boards and they have been bragging that the Pats redid their offense to beat the Jets as if the Jets are in Belichick's head, but they are sort of right. Belichick did redo this offense to exploit the weaknesses of defenses like the Jets, but not the Jets' specifically. The same offense exploits the weaknesses of most top teams like the Ravens, Steelers, and Colts (all agressive defenses). The Jets' agressive defense that needs blitzes to pressure the QB and bigger CBs who are agressive man to man creates favorable mismatches for the Pats.
Personally, I think the Jets will be more effective if they do more zone coverages and only rush three or four players against the Pats on Monday. If they run their typical defense, Brady will move the ball because he will have open WRs.
I think Cromartie on Welker would make Brady's mouth water because it would put Cromartie in a position for him not to do his best and Welker can run routes that Cromartie can't keep up with. Revis on Hernandez might be a waste though since Hernandez has not been a factor in the offense for a few weeks.
