With cornerback Darrelle Revis out for the rest of the season, the Jets’ first Plan B is to move running back Joe McKnight to cornerback.

(Please tell me that you have something more, Lieutenant. These two Marines are on trial for their lives. Please tell me their lawyer hasn’t pinned their hopes to a phone bill.)

Maybe the Jets haven’t done more to replace Revis because, well, they can’t. There’s no other cornerback who can do what Revis does, and even if there were he wouldn’t be hanging around in late September, waiting for a job.

So what will the Jets do? In Thursday’s edition of Pro Football Talk from NBC Sports Network, the whole gang discussed what they need to do.

And, yes, it involves “hot sauce.”
