Clayton says Law is still in play - Page 7

ZootedGranny · 07-03-2005, 09:14 AM

Courtesy a headsup from GA_Chief_KU and the Chiefscoalition board.

John Clayton was on ESPN Radio's the huddle, and said the following:

There are 4 teams still interested: Jacksonville, Kansas City, Miami and Tampa Bay.

Of the 4, Jacksonville has the most cap room, with around 5.7 mil. The next closest is Kansas City with around 3.5, and Miami and Tampa are trying to grab him for the league minimum.

When the Chiefs signed Ashley Ambrose, they told him they are still persuing Law.

Sean Salisbury also said that Law is looking great, and is cutting, but thinks that the foot is still a "tad bit ginger" and is 2 to 3 weeks away from a being ready for a full workout.

What about Warfield, he's going to be a Pro-Bowler.

KansasCityChiefs · 07-03-2005, 02:47 PM

Who do you guys think are the best Chiefs defensive backs?

1. Warfield
2. McCleon
3. Wesley
4. Surtain
5. Woods
6. battle

HE SAID that he turned down our original contract offer because it wasn't structured the way he wanted it.... nothing more, nothing less.

KansasCityChiefs · 07-03-2005, 02:50 PM

Since this year.

KansasCityChiefs · 07-03-2005, 02:50 PM

14 INT's in 12 games, watch.

I'm still wondering about the suspension.

Ok, lets say he misses the 4 games most suspect, that's 1/4th the season.

Does that 1/4th have to be paid to him? He just lose the game checks? And does the team get to take that off the cap and spend it or does it still count?

However, assuming, for the sake of argument, that Carl does bring Law in, I just don't think that putting Warfield at nickel is a very good idea.

He struggled for 3 years in Spinner's scheme because he wasn't able to line up at the LOS and man up on the receivers.

I was one of the few that defended him in those years, because I recognized that Spinner didn't utilize his strengths.

Putting him at nickel will put him in a position that again exposes his weakness, and he'll revert back to the "Toast" that everyone labeled him.

On the other hand, McPassOn played well in Spinner's scheme, and is much better suited for the nickel than Warfield.

IMO, if Law were brought in, Warfield becomes an expensive benchwarmer by midseason.
That, or he is really crisp by seasons end.

Something I hadn't thought of earlier.

Again, only for the sake of argument, if Law joins our secondary, he is more versatile than Warfield.
He excels in any scheme.
He can man up and punch the receiver in the mouth off the line, or give the receiver space and still make a play on the ball.

In a base defense, Surtain and Law are your 2 corners.

In nickel packages, you could line up Warfield on the receiver at the line with Law playing the slot.

McPassOn would be the dime.

We would have the best secondary in the league, hands down.

But it's all only a pipe dream.

Ok when you said Patrick Surtain should be decent I had to laugh. You just think he is decent that is too funny. Someone needs to wake you up noob and make you realize Patrick Surtain is a stud. And he is going to kick ass. He is a top 5 corner that is a hell of alot better than decent. Just my 2 cents. And if we can get Ty Law still and we dont break the bank. You do it. Damn i am pumped up for football. Start already damnit

Oh and whatever you are smokin give me some because Warfield is not going to get 14 ints

It's a joke account! Don't be fooled! It was created today.

If he signs he signs, i personally will chalk this one up as
our insertion as the favorite fo the the 'ship.
thats my opinion.
but i will still push the positive energy Law's way in hopes of signing him.
in my friend and mine's case, it worked for the drafting of DERRICK JOHNSON.
he was a long shot to be drafted by us and we kept our hopes up and fingers crossed up until the 15th pick and it happened.
so ive got to keep my hope alive
