Darrelle Revis Is The Key Component To New England's New-Look Defense
It's been a long-time since the New England Patriots had a shutdown cornerback on their roster, and they finally have one in former New York Jets star Darrelle Revis.

Jeremy Maclin is not going to have to be Jerry Rice or Terrell Owens. He merely needs to be a receiver for Nick Foles, while the tight ends help chip in the rest of the production in the passing game.
Looking for something to do today? Here are our top three picks…there's something for everyone in the Philadelphia area!
The Carolina Panthers cut the face of the franchise, Steve Smith, and let the only other three wide receivers on the roster that caught a pass last season leave as free agents. Tight end Greg Olsen is the only proven receiver returning from last season's squad. Olsen should be Cam Newton's favorite target this season.
The Division III Delaware Valley College Aggies are coming off a 7-4 2013 campaign and settling in to their first preseason camp under new head coach Duke Greco.
Let's not kid ourselves: a kicker is not going to win you a fantasy title. But in a tight match-up, you'll take all the points you can get. All of these players are last-round selections, but you might as well have a strategy for crafting your kicker rankings.
Hobbled by injuries, the Indianapolis Colts hope (wide receiver) Hakeem Nicks can contribute with the type of production that catapulted the New York Giants to a Super Bowl championship in 2012.
The Detroit Lions' struggles last season cost Jim Schwartz his job, and another disappointing season could do GM Martin Mayhew in. When Lions fans and NFL analysts discussed the team's issues and needs, the secondary came up more often that not.
The Ravens made huge strides to improve what turned out to be a putrid offense in 2013. But one of the few bright spots on the offensive side of the ball was Marlon Brown. An undrafted rookie from Georgia with a lot to prove, and loads of potential to do just that.
If you're not only ranking players, but also grouping them in tiers, tight ends are an interesting test case. Jimmy Graham is a one-man tier, with Gronkowski and Julius Thomas, both potential second-round picks, in the next group.
Ask Aaron Donald and he'll tell you without a doubt, that he believes he couldn't have landed in a better spot when he was selected by the St. Louis Rams in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft with the No. 13 overall pick.
Will new "points of emphasis," which may limit how defensive backs defend receivers, affect the physical Seahawks? Check back at midseason for an answer. For now, there's no reason to think the Seahawks will surrender the top spot.
Running back Jamaal Charles has become a veritable workhorse for the Kansas City Chiefs, and it is not surprising since he's one of the best backs in the entire NFL. With a new contract extension in place, the Chiefs hope for another great season out of Charles, and they're likely going to get one.
Free agent cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie heads a group of new Giants' defensive backs that have the look and pedigree to make New York's secondary the strength of the team's defense. Adding DRC to a talented group that already included Antrel Rolle, Prince Amukamara and Stevie Brown puts Big Blue at the top of the list of the NFL's best secondaries
When Sammy Watkins was drafted out of Clemson by the Buffalo Bills, it was thought that the partnering of him and Stevie Johnson would make one of the best wide receiver tandems in the NFL. Now, he's the number one receiver and he's already looking to lead the Bills from worst to first.
As a third-generation NFL player, as well as relatives playing both for college and professional teams in Atlanta, Jake Matthews seems like a perfect fit for the Falcons.
The Houston Texans have a brand new head coach and starting quarterback. The only way they can win this season is if their best player, wide receiver Andre Johnson, buys into the new system.
The primary focal point of pretty much every football team is the quarterback. Some teams have an elite quarterback they want to keep around for as long as possible. They are set at the position, and they don't worry about anything other than injury or retirement. Then, there are the teams that know they have a problem under center. Their quarterback won't cut it, but they have to wait to get the opportunity to improve.
Jordan Matthews went to the Eagles in the second round. Despite being the ninth receiver picked overall in the draft, Matthews has the look of a top pick so far in training camp.
This looks like the year of the repeat. Perhaps no area in the state has as potent a one-two power punch of teams as does Southeastern Pennsylvania in St. Joseph's Prep and Archbishop Wood.
With former Bear defensive end Julius Peppers leaving Chicago to go to Green Bay, it looks like the Bears have already found his replacement in the form of former Viking defensive end Jared Allen. A man who has played fewer years yet has more sacks than Peppers. It seems like a smart decision.
Patrick Peterson's personality is the antithesis of Seattle's Richard Sherman, who many feel is the league's top cornerback.
The addition of DeMarcus Ware means the Denver Broncos will have one of the scariest pass-rushing duos in football again.
The Dallas Cowboys enter the 2014 NFL season with one of the worst defenses in the NFL. This means that they have to keep their opponents off the field to win, making DeMarco Murray the most important player on the team.
The Cowboys have already sent their season ticket holders tickets for the playoffs.
