And that's wrong. If Revis focuses on jumping every route, he'll probably get a couple more picks over the next few games and might secure the award, but he'd probably also give up more yards than he has all year. His shutting down of WRs should be the reason he wins, but like you say, those stats are less easily accessible. Agreed. And that’s wrong.

I think that CBs are judged by INTs and Revis doesn't have enough. Also, Deion and Rod Woodson were likely helped by the fact that they were also good return men. Not that I want Revis to return kicks, but it all adds up. Bent,

So, there's plenty of precedent for Revis to get the DPOY even if the Jets don't make the playoffs. However, since 1971, CBs have only won the award 4 times, the last being Deion in 1994. The four are Mel Blount, Lester Hayes, Rod Woodson and Deion. Blount and Hayes had, respectively, 11 and 13 INTs. Woodson was by 1993 recognized as being one of the best all-around CBs in NFL history (he had already been All-Pro 3 times and a Pro Bowler 4 times by then) and Deion returned 3 of his 6 INTs for TDs. Revis has to hang his hat on his ungodly number of PDs because with 6 INTs and only 1 taken to the house, I'm not sure he has the type of INT numbers that would get him DPOY. And, Woodson has had a great season, he has more tackles, INTs, TDs and sacks than Revis. So, Woodson's proponents do have a certain amount of stats on their side. I think Revis is the best cover corner in football, but INTs, especially INTs returned for TDs, are what voters would look for. Revis makes that game-saving INT on Sunday and his DPOY resume would have looked a lot better. Three players this decade have won DPOY without their teams making the playoffs:

2001-Strahan (team record: 7-9)

2004-Ed Reed (team record: 9-7)

2006-Jason Taylor (team record: 6-10).

Absolutely...if the DT from Nebraska can win the AP Player of the Year, how is Revis any less dominant or important to his team and defense? Problem is Charles Woodson is a known commodity to a casual fan and Revis is just beginning to enter the casual fan scene. Revis will win one of two ways, - incredible numbers last two games, I'm talking about 3 interceptions and a FF and a TD type. Or shutdown game with no visible highlights and two jets wins. Otherwise NO chance. P.S woodson was the most overrated player in college football and not much has changed sadly. Is he supposed to win the award?
