Revis to cover Ward, Cromartie on Wallace?
Hines Ward - WR - Pittsburgh Steelers
Jan. 20, 2011 - 5:30 PM ET
Manish Mehta of the NY Daily News predicts that the Jets will use Darrelle Revis to cover Hines Ward in the AFC Championship Game.
Mehta anticipates Antonio Cromartie covering Mike Wallace. It's the same way the Jets played Pittsburgh in Week 15, and Wallace went off for 110 yards while Revis held Ward to 34 on two catches. It'd be a mistake, as far as we're concerned. Using Revis on the declining, 34-year-old Ward would be a waste when the shutdown corner has the ability to eliminate Pittsburgh's true No. 1 receiver. Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders will remain potential difference makers as they prepare for Dwight Lowery and Drew Coleman.
