Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis thinks there are certain things every player gets away with that are against the rules. Brandon Marshall is just another offender.

Wednesday, the Miami Dolphins wideout said that officials abide by the "Jordan Rule" when it comes to Revis and that they do not call pass interference or holding penalties on him as often.

When asked about it today, Revis brought up some of Marshall's secrets as well.

"Just to speak on the Jordan Rule, or whatever it's called, the Kobe Bryant rule, you know, both sides do things all the time," Revis said. "One thing that Brandon Marshall does on routes is pushes off, but I'm not going to use that as a throwback, it's just something I know in his game that he does.

"He's a big receiver and he pushes off sometimes, that's a part of the game. It's not just him, there's a lot of wide receivers that do that and as some DBs, we hold. On top of that, it goes vice-versa. If the referee makes a call he makes it. If he doesn't, he doesn't, that's just that. There's a lot of holding out there, there's a lot of pushing off out there but you just have to play through the plays."

Revis said he knows Marshall well on and off the field — they are both from the Pittsburgh area. He called him the most physical receiver he faces every year and looks forward to the matchup.

"It's always a good fight between me and him. We compete, that's all we do. We know each other on and off the field so it's all respect 100 percent around," he said.

In their last matchup, it appeared Revis initiated contact with Marshall near the end zone before securing an interception and running 100 yards the other way for the touchdown. Marshall cited that as a specific example for the "Jordan Rule."

"I don't really pay attention to what the officials say or what they do," Revis said. "If they make a call, they make a call. If they don't they don't."

Ryan agreed with one aspect of Marshall's statement, which was the comparison to Michael Jordan. He has not seen any evidence of favorable calls, though, and jokingly described it as a ploy by Marshall to get a more sympathetic crew in Miami Sunday.

"I think he's trying to put it in the officials' minds and all that," Ryan said. "Come on, Brandon's a good guy, a great receiver. And if anything, let's just say it's pretty physical. If Revis is doing the pushing off, I'm not sure."



Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine added: "It's outside my expertise. From the outside looking in, I really don't see it."
