Surprise, surprise. Jets linebacker Bart Scott has voiced his opinion on the performance Sunday by Patriots receiver Randy Moss and specifically on the coverage applied by teammate Darrelle Revis on Moss.

Moss, who had previously stated that Revis needed safety help over the top to shut down Moss, had four receptions for 24 yards.

"All week he was talking about bring a shutdown corner, but there really are no shutdown corners in the league because they have help most of the game," Moss said (via The Providence Journal) Sunday. "I probably could be a shutdown corner if I had (Pats' safety Brandon) Meriweather over the top for the whole game. You have to give credit where credit is due; I'm not taking anything away from their whole defense, they made plays and we didn't get things done."

Whether or not Revis is the best corner in the league is debatable, but he is definitely a "shutdown corner." And his play backs that up.

In week one against the Texans, Revis shut down Andre Johnson, who had four receptions for 35 yards.

Johnson and Moss are widely considered to be in the top four or so receivers in the league along with others like Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald and Detroit's Calvin Johnson.

Per Ian Rappaport of the Boston Herald, Scott said, “I hear the easy cop-out by Moss that anyone can play cornerback. Sometimes, you got to give the man his credit, that (Revis) was the better man that day. It doesn’t take away from the fact that Moss is a great receiver in this league. But (Revis) shut him down. Randy was coming across the middle real slow.”

Scott went on to say, “Tell [Moss] to man up and come across the middle like a man if he wants to be a complete receiver in this league.”

The Jets and Patriots play each other again on Sunday, November 22nd in Foxboro.
