FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Darrelle Revis feels downright disrespected.Years of glowing praise have suddenly given way to harsh criticism. Hes washed up, some fans and media say. Revis Island is a thing of the past, say others.The Jets cornerback openly acknowledges hes no longer the dominant player he was a few years ago, when he routinely shut down opposing wide receivers. But it has been open season on Revis the last two months, with increasing questions about his abilities and work ethic.I think people dont respect me enough, which is fine, a candid Revis told The Associated Press on Friday. I dont know why, though, because the numbers are there. Ive proven myself year in and year out for a number of years, and theyre not being respectful to that.His past, Revis believes, should count for something in the big picture. The NFL, however, is a what-have-you-done-lately business. And, lately, Revis has given up some big plays that once seemed unthinkable.His perceived lack of effort on a tackle last Sunday at Cleveland became a popular topic. So has his confidence, and whether age -- hes 31 -- and injuries have combined to sap Revis of some abilities that made him among the best at his position.Im getting old and I cant control that, Revis said. Im not 23 or 24 years old anymore. I can still play the game at a high level, yes, but at the same time, if a team is game planning to target you 15-20 times a game, the guy is going to catch the ball a few times. Thats just that. The coach understands that, and inside here, we all know that.Others expect the same guy who would make Terrell Owens, Chad Johnson, Andre Johnson and Reggie Wayne non-factors for entire games.I put myself in this whole situation because of how well I played in the past, Revis said. I understand that.Revis is a proud guy, which has driven him to being one of the best players in Jets history. His resume will put him in Hall of Fame discussions when his career ends.To see him go from revered to reviled so quickly has got to be a strange and uncomfortable transition.Some people may not like me when they have a pen in their hand, so they write what they want, he said. Thats fine. I cant control that. The only thing I can control is to continue to do my job.Is Revis considering that hes nearing the conclusion of a terrific career?No, Revis said flatly. People think or feel it may be the end, or want it to be the end. Maybe some respect comes in there, too, looking at the body of work. But they feel like maybe it is.For me, Im fine, man. I cant shut somebody out for one catch for 1 yard, like I did Reggie Wayne (in the 2010 playoffs). Those days are over. Thats the respect they dont give me, and its fine because everybody has their personal opinion.But when you compare me to the legends, Im right up there in the conversation. People are going to want to question everything because of the price tag, and it comes with the territory.Revis is making $17 million this season, an easy source of criticism.Thats where it goes into that realm of, well, lets look at the price tag and its like, well, why is he making this much and not living up to that price tag? Revis said. Its like, the body of work. Sometimes, its a players presence on the field where people I dont think understand or get how impactful it is when theyre out there on that field.Revis recalled how Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer looked his way every time he came out of the huddle when the teams played last month.I still get respect from my peers and probably coaches that game plan, he said. But Ive got flaws just like everybody else.Clevelands Terrelle Pryor burned Revis for six catches for 101 yards, all in the first half. Revis went from playing off coverage to more press coverage in the second half, and kept Pryor quiet the rest of the way.Did I have a bad game? Yes, I did, and I know that, Revis said. At the same time, did we readjust at halftime and change things up? Yeah. Again, Ive done it to myself. There are stories being written about me or people saying things about, `Hey, hes done, or whatever you want to call it, and thats fine. But still give me my respect for what Ive done in this league and what Ive done to pave the way for other guys like Patrick Peterson and Richard Sherman and all those guys. Thats all Im saying. But they dont even do that.They just want to almost erase my past, but youve got to look at the whole body of work.Revis knows people are watching his every move, particularly when he gives up a big play. They expect to see frustration, but the cornerback refuses to give them that satisfaction.Im burning inside, but I dont show the fire, he said. I dont need to. Any time you see me get scored on, do I point, even if its a blown coverage? I never bash anybody in our secondary, even if it might be somebody elses fault. I take the heat.Revis credits coach Todd Bowles for helping him transition to the next stage of his career, when he has to make adjustments on the fly to make up for the missteps in games that once were as rare as a receiver making a big play against him.Its not going to be a one-catch, 5-yard game, Revis said. Its just not going to be like that. Its just not happening, and Im fine with that. Im not fighting that. People want me to wrestle with that. Thats why they comment and say anything they want, and I cant wrestle with that. I have to let that be what it was.Can I still make plays? Yeah, I can still make plays. But I cant force plays. Plays will come.And, when I make a few plays here and there, people will back off a little bit.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Shoes USA .
