Absolutely not. Ty has been worth it. Our pass defense has been elevated from joke-worthy to fearsome. Ty has been no small part of that.
They don't keep track of coverage sacks, but if they did, our secondary has a bundle so far. Plummer, Rivers, Leinart, and Smith have been hit a few times more than they should because Law's secondary has shut down all passing lanes.
Law himself has intercepted a couple so far, six games into the season. One of them helped defeat the Cards. Very good.
And he plays every down against the opponent's most talented receiver. Against San Diego, it was often one-on-one while everybody else attacked the line, so he had to play very conservatively, and he never once gave up a huge TD. (The LT touchdown was blown coverage on the right flank; Law was on the other side of the field.)
I'd blame him and the entire Chiefs secondary for their pitiful performance against the Steelers, but I'd rather erase that game from my mind.
The only game (other than Pittsburgh) where Law got beat with any consistency was against Denver's Jevon Walker, who's burning everybody right now. Law played him as well as anybody in the league could and Walker still found ways to win.
Other than that, Law has been A-list. His low tackles is proof that opposing teams would rather throw to Surtain (who's playing well too FWIW).
