FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The Jets are coy about which Patriots receiver will plop on Revis Island on Sunday. But here is a smart option: on third downs, Patriots receiver Wes Welker should draw that spot, attract cornerback Darrelle Revis.Deny Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in those situations his coziest security. Grab his "swag.''
That word, "swag,'' kept bubbling among the Jets on Wednesday afternoon in their locker room. In this league, every coach and player has it, this spin off swagger. Some in larger bundles.
Revis defines swag, ultimately, as confidence.
While others blush over the Jets' bluster, the Jets understand that the Patriots will not willingly be shoved from their perch. It takes a serious punch to accomplish that. No tip-toeing around the task.
