Why we need Revis

(@FauxJakeLocker)
Let me paint you a picture.

"The score is 28-24. The Titans are going to need a good stop here with just 3 seconds left. It'll be tough but the Colts could pull this one out with a Hail Mary pass. Luck hikes the ball. He takes a second in the pocket. Rolls out. He sees a receiver BUSTED COVERAGE! BUSTED COVERAGE! The ball is thrown deep to Reggie Wayne! IT'S PERFECT! THE PASS IS CAUGHT TOUCHDOWN COLTS, THE COLTS HAVE WON!!! IT'S A MIRACLE!!!

Now let me paint you the same picture with Darelle Revis in at Corner.

"The score is 28-24. The Titans are going to need a good stop here with just 3 seconds left. It'll be tough but the Colts could pull this one out with a Hail Mary pass. Luck hikes the ball. He takes a second in the pocket. Rolls out. Throws it deeeeep!! INTERCEPTED! INTERCEPTED THE TITANS HAVE WON! DARELLE REVIS CAPS OFF THE GAME IN STYLE! THE TITANS ARE HEADED TO THE PLAYOFFS!

Which sounds better?
Although the chances of this actually happening are slim to none, Darelle Revis would help a completely messed up defense. Our defense was ranked 22nd in pass defense this year (NFL.com). Revis could easily be the best corner in football. So what a couple of injuries have him down and out? You get over [most] injuries. You don't get over passing up an offer on Revis. The only defensive backs we have are Jason McCourty and Michael Griffin (sometimes). Revis would change the entire landscape of the Titans defense. Revis is top-notch when it comes to man-coverage (something i find much more effective than zone). If the Jets are stupid enough to actually trade him, we take that offer and run, almost no matter what they ask. (keyword almost).

In conclusion, TAKE REVIS.
