As a nerdy baseball fan (I drafted Bryce Harper in my 26 keeper fantasy league last year when he was still a high school sophomore), I love Aaron Schatz's take on the NFL, especially since everything he's been spouting lately has been pro Jets. I've got two corrections for him, though, from his last Bill Simmons podcast:
1. While Sanchez played his best game last week, he's played well to the tune of 0 turnovers for three straight weeks. Also, Bill was hinting at comparing his progression to Big Ben's rookie year...Big Ben laid an absolute egg in his first playoff game leading a 15-1 team (the Doug Brien game), and then played worse the following week in the AFC Championship game.
2. Schatz was talking about Revis' height vs. Vincent Jackson as a potential issue. This really surprised me. Randy Moss is tall. Colston is tall. Andre Johnson, too, is tall. When there's a jump ball and Revis is involved, Revis is playing offense. Did you see that back shoulder play to Chad Johnson last week? Jump balls are about timing more than height. If the Jets lose on Sunday, I'm pretty sure it's not going to be because Darrelle Revis can't cover.
