So I guess ESPN just signed Mark Dominik as an NFL informer. Well that doesn't matter, I'm just setting the scene. What matters is that Dominik was asked about Revis and other members of the now All-Star Patriots' secondary and he had some pretty nice things to say:

"Revis to me, in spending time around him, has unique anticipation. Elite anticipation is probably the right way to use it. He has a way of feeling it, understanding routes, reading the hops of players, reading the eyes, [the] general feel and he's exceptional with ball skills. He knows how to break on the ball, where to use his hands to avoid penalties, and he obviously has soft hands for interceptions. His ball awareness and ball skills, and then again anticipation, are what make him an elite corner."

On Brandon Browner:

"Brandon Browner is a huge corner. Just really long from his ankle to knee and then his knee to his arms. I mean that's what his advantage is. He's going to be a little bit tighter in space, short-area quickness, [those are] the things he's going to struggle with. He's going to come up and maul you at the line of scrimmage, beat you up, and he'll tackle you. They have big corners, thick corners, and that's obviously what coach Belichick is looking for."

On Logan Ryan:

"Very smart football player, extremely smart. Understands angle, good positioning. Again, good with his hands, and he has enough speed. His big thing that everybody talks about is the top-end speed, but again, if you get a pass rush and you get a guy who understands early stuff and uses his hands well, you can eliminate some of that speed deficiency, and I think Logan can do that."

He had a bit more to say about Revis so make sure to check out all he said if you are so interested.

Basically, I need football now. And I need to see this secondary in action now.
