Is Ty Law a Bust??

Halfcan · 10-23-2006, 07:09 AM

He has had a few good plays-Arizona he saved the game-but in Pitt he misplayed the ball and fell down, leading to a TD-after that the game was over. He seems to play too far back and has been burned repeatedly while getting several penalties. The pass interference yesterday directly lead to a TD that could have cost us the game.

So is he worth the pile of cash so far??

The PI was a BS call.

Archie F. Swin · 10-23-2006, 07:12 AM

yeah, bring back McLeon

The PI call was bullshit, you can't blame him on that one. I don't really recall him getting "several penalties", in fact, Surtain probably has just as many if not more than Law.

We're still only 3/8 of the way into the season....

You can't blame Law for falling down on the slick grass in the Pittsburgh game.

And I'm not sure he's been burned repeatedly, either.

Hardly, he touched the guy and he fell down but the ball damn near went into the stands and was not catchable in the least bit.

The receiver tripped on the goal line and the ball didn't even land in the endzone. Illegal contact, maybe. PI, nope.

How many passes have been thrown his way this year? Maybe a couple a game. It would take the careful study of 6 games worth of film, but I would suggest that you haven't seen a lot of Ty Law because he generally covers his receiver. The value of a CB is in the number of passes NOT thrown his direction because his man is covered.

I'm pretty sure whether the CBs line up over the receiver, or off is not their own decision. Take that issue up with Gun.

Halfcan · 10-23-2006, 07:23 AM

Only two tackles yesterday and Parker smoked him a few times.

With all the hype for two years getting this guy-is is worth it??

You could be right about getting burned on the screen passes-Gun might have them playing back.

I agree the ball looked uncatchable, but TY did have his hands on him throughout the route.

Um...OK. What kind of defense are you recommending where our cornerbacks are putting up big tackling numbers?

Everyone was off at Pittsburg, including Law and his safety help, and Parker is a good receiver.

When you say "worth it", what do you mean? As opposed to what other option? Bartee? McCleon?

Which I disagree with. I think every time a receiver lines up the CB should bust him in the chops at the snap of the ball. But I'm guessing the coaches call the coverage schemes, not each player doing what they feel like on that particular down.
