Is Ty Law a Bust?? - Page 3

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??

Direckshun · 10-23-2006, 07:06 PM

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).

This has to be the dumbest thread on here in a long time.

A bit like asking if Ryan Sims should be a pro-bowler.

someone should take away halfcan's thread-making privileges...

Think it is more of the coverage we run..

Hootie · 10-23-2006, 08:49 PM

halfcan is too friggin' dense to understand a cover 2 defense.

He watches the replay and is like, "holy shit! Law just let that guy run by him after 10 yards!" not realizing that the cover 2 calls for the corner to release the receiver to the safeties after a certain amount of yards.

Bartee was always a top tackler...

case closed!

Since this place drooled over Ty for two freakin years, we finally get him, Jets trolls jumped all over us saying he is going to suck, and now the D is playing respectable football-I thought it was a valid question.

I think he has done a nice job-wish they would send him on corner blites a few more times this year-he has the technique to really make a big play and get to the QB.

I rewatched a few games-and it seems he has released his guy a few times thinking a safety was there-Now is that Ty's fault or Sammys??

boogblaster · 10-23-2006, 10:54 PM

Law has slowed some..but his presence makes QBs look-off most of the recievers hes covering..plus hes a plus for our youth on the team..and in the locker-room....

Halfcan · 10-23-2006, 10:58 PM

Don't forget Ty has been Money in the bank during the Playoffs-now we just have to get there.

**Easy 6** · 10-23-2006, 11:01 PM

Are you kidding me??????????? He's an even BIGGER bust than Hali.........

**007** · 10-23-2006, 11:02 PM

Law was worth the cash. All CBs eventually get a penalty and/or get burned. Goes with the game. We are better with him than without him. That is the most important stat.

Well said-so why have people bitched about TY since we got him. How many post popped up after the Cincy game that he was playing back too far. How many about falling down and also the Penalty against SD. It is a fair question to ask considering some of the comments around here. Is he worth it??
