start quoteI'm sure (Terrell Owens) knows who I am.end quote
-- Jets CB Darrelle Revis

N.Y. Jets rookie CB Darrelle Revis thinks Terrell Owens knows who he is now after holding the All-World Cowboy WR to 6 catches and 65 yards in the Jets latest loss. Prior to the game Owens claimed he'd never heard of him.

The Jets first round draft choice did foul up one play as he allowed Owens to catch a TD pass after the latest Jets loss was well out of hand. "I was mad" Revis told Dennis Waszak, Jr. of the Associated Press. "I played him well the whole game and at the end, I just slipped up on the pass. He got me and I was upset."

Certainly the Jets aren't upset with Revis. He's been one of only a few bright spots in their dismal 2-9 season. After a long training camp holdout he proved a quick study and won a starting spot before the opener.

He's had some understandable lapses in going up against top players like Owens, Chad Johnson and Randy Moss each week but has played well overall. Second on the Jets with a total of 68 tackles (58 solos and 10 assists) he's also picked off one interception and had 11 passes defensed.

Said Revis with a grin, "I'm sure (Owens) knows who I am. I mean, we played against each other, he's a great receiver and I hope he thinks I'm a good corner."

Fantasy Note: Perhaps Owens knows who Revis is, perhaps not. But Jets fans do, and so do his fantasy owners, who can look forward to many more years of fine cornerback play from one of the top 2007 IDP rookies.

start quoteKeep eating the same breakfast.end quote
-- Seahawks HC Mike Holmgren, to DE Patrick Kerney

After his 3 sack Redskins game, Seahawks DE Patrick Kerney mused about how sacks tend to come in bunches. One week later, Kerney has a big bunch after grabbing another hat trick against the Rams. That makes 7 sacks for him in 3 games, the first time he's done that since 2004 with the Falcons.

Typically, the low-key Kerney was humble about his accomplishments. "I'm just able to reap the benefits of everybody else's hard work; sacks are a team thing and lately I've just been the beneficiary," Kerney told Dave Boling of the Seattle News-Tribune. "It's been a great job by our coverage and by the defensive line pinning the guy in for me."

Kerney's big day wasn't limited to the sacks. He also had 7 tackles, an interception, a pass defensed and forced a fumble. His teammates and coaches were unsparing in their appreciation.

"We're glad he's on our team" said 'hawks LB Julian Peterson. "He's a big-motor guy who is a real team leader, too." When asked what had gotten into Kerney lately, Mike Holmgren chimed in, "Whatever it is, keep eating the same breakfast. He had a marvelous game. We needed every one of his big plays."

Fantasy Note: So what is Kerney eating for breakfast anyway? Is it Wheaties, the Breakfast of Champions? Perhaps it's Pep? Or maybe Cap'n Crunch? Guess it'll remain a mystery, but Kerney's ability is no mystery as one of the top defensive ends in the NFL.

Bullet Points, Injury Update and Otherwise:

  • The Colts have released DE Simeon Rice just 2 weeks after signing him.
  • The Cardinals placed CB Eric Green on injured reserve with a torn groin. S Adrian Wilson will undergo surgery on his right heel and is done for the season.
  • The Patriots put LB Roosevelt Colvin on injured reserve. His injury is unclear. Coach Bill Belichick was even more stingy than usual with injury news. When questioned as to what the injury was, he said, "It was announced as a foot? Then we'll leave it with that".
  • Cowboys CB Anthony Henry fully participated in practice and is expected to start Thursday's game with the Packers.
  • Packers CB Charles Woodson is receiving "around the clock" treatment on the toe he injured against the Lions but his availability for Thursday's game is doubtful.
  • Jags rookie LB Justin Durant played well in his first start filling in for the injured Mike Peterson, picking up 9 tackles, 1 interception and 1 pass defensed. Peterson is out indefinitely with a broken right hand.
  • Bill DE Chris Kelsay aggravated his ankle sprain in the loss to Jacksonville and is expected to miss Sunday's game. He added a severe bone bruise and has to wear a protective boot. Kelsay missed practice on Wednesday.
