FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- A.J. Green is first up on this seasons Revis Island itinerary.While Darrelle Revis is looking forward to the season-opening showdown, the New York Jets might make defending the Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver a group excursion.Thats just one of many matchups, coach Todd Bowles said. Its a team effort, and weve got to pick our spots, and Im sure they have to pick their spots. Its not even about Revis and Green. Its about us against them.Still, how the Jets handle Green on Sunday will get lots of attention -- particularly how often he and Revis end up going one-on-one against each other.Green led the Bengals with 86 catches and 1,297 yards receiving last season, and joined Randy Moss as the only players in NFL history with five or more consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to begin their career.Uh, every challenge possible, Revis said when asked how difficult Green is to face. Ive definitely got a lot of respect for the guy.Thats high praise from a player who has long been considered a shutdown cornerback, and one of the best to have played his position.The last time the two squared off was in 2014, when Green caught four passes for 64 yards with Revis -- playing for New England -- defending him, before the cornerback left with a hamstring issue.Hes one of the top receivers in the league, Revis said. He definitely is.Thats why the Jets might take a different approach with Green by giving Revis safety help with Calvin Pryor and/or Marcus Gilchrist.As we look at it, it wont just be Revis, itll be a lot of people, defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers said. A.J. is a tremendous player. We have to have 11 sets of eyes kind of knowing where he is. In looking at the way were playing, its not necessarily a 1-on-1 matchup that way.That doesnt mean, however, that there wont be some moments Sunday when its simply Green vs. Revis. But sharing the load is certainly OK with Revis.I think the game plan this week is very comfortable for everybody, Revis said. I think were going to try to switch things up a little bit this week for us to maybe just wear their key guys on offense down a little bit.That approach, according to Revis, could make the Jets defense less predictable.Its a lot of confusion, it could be, and it will be to our benefit, he said. Thats one of the things, coming into this week, were trying to accomplish.While Revis is still regarded as one of the NFLs top cornerbacks, the mystique that surrounded his weekly shutdowns of teams No. 1 receivers -- which prompted the Revis Island nickname -- is perhaps not as strong as it once was.The respect remains, though. But theres also the reality that Revis is now 31 and perhaps a slight step slower than he was a few years ago.Its going to be a good matchup, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton said. Were going to trust that our guys going to win, and thats the mindset you have to have. When you have one of the best receivers in the league, thats what you expect from him. Thats what A.J. expects from himself, and we wouldnt want anything less.Revis still relies on an impeccable work ethic and his smarts to put himself in great position while defending receivers. In fact, the numbers-crunching site ProFootballFocus.com rated Revis the No. 1 cornerback last season in terms of completion percentage when targeted at just 44.2 percent -- more than 2 points better than Arizonas Patrick Peterson (46.8 percent).But a wrist injury early last season sapped Revis ability to jam receivers at the line of scrimmage, one of the strengths of his game. Then, some younger and faster receivers had big games against him in Buffalos Sammy Watkins and Houstons DeAndre Hopkins.That caused the doubts about Revis to begin seeping in to some fans and media. Opponents, however, know better.Hes so instinctive, Dalton said. Hell give you different looks, hell play off, hell press, hes got great ball skills. Just his understanding of routes and concepts is what makes him such a good player. His instincts are some of the best out there.Revis wrist is healthy again, and the star cornerback has seen a difference being able to play in bump-and-run coverage in training camp and the preseason.Its definitely good to feel good and be able to strike at the line of scrimmage and be able to jam guys, Revis said. For me, it took time and patience, and now Im finally at a point where I can actually do that.---AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Stitched Cheap Jerseys NFL .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- The chairman of the U.S. Olympic Committee defended his support of the decision not to ban Russias entire team from the Rio Games, framing it as a done deal by the time he weighed in on it, and a stance that received wide support among athletes.Chairman Larry Probst was among the 84 International Olympic Committee members who, at president Thomas Bachs urging, gave approval to the IOC executive committees call to let individual sports federations review the athletes doping pasts and determine which Russians could compete.At a USOC news conference Friday, Probst echoed Bach in saying the decision had wide support among athletes, including all eight athlete representatives on the IOC.But athlete support in Probsts home country was far from unanimous. Sarah Konrad, the chair of the USOC athletes advisory council, told The Associated Press, I think the IOC made the wrong decision.They shouldve shown stronger leadership and banned the entire Russian delegation, Konrad said. To punt to the (sports federations) was ridiculous.Probst quoted another IOC member, Dick Pound, an outspoken anti-doping advocate who also rubber-stamped the decision, saying the arrow has left the bow by the time the full IOC was asked to show support.The decision was made, Probst said. What Thomas asked of the session was, `Do you support the decision? The decision was not going to be changed.Only one IOC member raised his hand in opposition to Bachs question: Britains Adam Pengilly, whose term on the committee ends after these Olympics.The World Anti-Doping Agency was among several anti-doping groups that called for the complete ban of all Russias 389 athletes. Bach went against that recommendation, citing the concept of individual justice to justify the call to hand over the decisions to the sports. On Thursday night, about 24 hours before the opening ceremony, the IOC confirmed that 271 Russian athletes had been cleared to compete.ddddddddddddProbst reiterated what he said in Tuesdays IOC meeting -- that the anti-doping system is in need of repair, and that the problem goes deeper than Russia.A complicated and difficult decision with no perfect solution, he called it.It was a sparsely attended news conference, held at the same time that French President Francois Hollande was also speaking to the media in a room on the other side of the building. Hollande is promoting the Paris bid for the 2024 Olympics.Also in that mix is Los Angeles, and USOC leadership has been working hard for years to build a stronger relationship with the IOC, in part to be in better position to eventually bring the Summer Games back to the United States for the first time since 1996.It helps explain why the USOC has been vocal about some parts of the anti-doping mess of the past year -- saying the system is broken -- but unwilling to break ranks at the highest level, including the IOCs decision about Russia.Chief of sport performance Alan Ashley said hes spent a lot of time in the athletes village and hasnt heard a word about doping or Russia.Theyre looking forward to the competition, Ashley said. Thats what I hear about.But Ashley hasnt spoken to all the athletes.I believed the IOC was going to say, `We dont want this in our organization and we have to make a stand, said U.S. race walker John Nunn, who also serves on the U.S. track teams athletes advisory committee. And to turn around and just go, `Hey, why dont you just go make a decision for each sport, Im like, Are you for real? You really just copped out on this. ' ' '
