Is Revis island becoming the next big vacation spot for NFL recievers?

Darrelle Revis seems to be the trending topic of recent NFL debate after two back to back less than stellar performances on the football field. The former Super Bowl Champion and seven time pro bowler has been torched to say the least against younger and faster receivers. The talk started when it looked as if Cincinnati Bengals receiver A.J Green could not be stopped in their week one contest last Sunday, then the issue further escalated when Buffalo Bills receiver Marquise Goodwin blasted by Revis for a big 84 yard touchdown. It is easy to say that receivers who have made big names for themselves such as A.J Green (Bengals) and Sammy Watkins (Bills) would be able to give Revis a little bit of a problem because any cornerback in the NFL would have a hard time covering them. The question is how does a little known speedster receiver named Marquise Goodwin sneak by the once undeniably best corner in the NFL? My answer to that question is simple. Revis is no longer a cornerback, he should be moved to the safety spot. This is no insult to Revis's ability due to the fact he is still an elite playmaker and leader on the New York Jets. Throughout the league and its past you can see players like Lardarius Webb of the Baltimore Ravens and newly retired future hall of famer Charles Woodson make the move from cornerback to safety. Webb is 30 years old and still a playmaker on the back end of the Ravens secondary. The reason Baltimore moved him was because they knew he was not as fast and effective as the younger corners on their roster. As we take a look back at Darrelle Revis he is 31 years old and not as quick as his younger teammates. Looking at his statistics over the past two games you can see that he has been targeted by opposing offenses 15 times and he has given up 12 receptions and 242 yards. My solution is for him to make the move to safety, he is not the player he once was but he is still a playmaker. He should follow the footsteps of Lardarius Webb and Charles Woodson and make the switch, so players like Marcus Williams take over under his leadership.
