That is all true but for a team that is supposed to be a playoff contender, you would still rather have Ty Law(who is not as good as he used to be) but is better than what they have.
Good signing, for the second straight year Herm will get Law with minimal commitment (according to profootballtalk Law's "5 year deal" is really 5 one year contracts where the Chiefs can cut him without a big hit after this season.) I tell you what though, with a pretty good defensive coach in Edwards (the Jets numbers show that if Herm is good at anything, it's coaching defenses) and Ty Law and Patrick Surtain in the defensive backfield, all of the sudden the Chiefs are looking like real contenders.
As Donnie keeps insisitng, www.profootballtalk.com reports that this "5 year deal" is really a one year deal, so the Chiefs really have no commitment to Law. So the Herm bashing will have to wait until he runs Larry Johnson into an old-folks home at age 28, I'm afraid.
Law is a shadow of his former self. Give and take a few penalty calls, he's still a good corner but probably no where near the contract he got. Hence why no one signed him up untill July 23rd.
you guys are seriously hilarious. Last offseason when we heard the Jets were even remotely interested in signing Law it was chaotic on here for months. He signed, and it was like we won the superbowl. But now he's just a washed up locker room cancer who was never very good in the first place eh?
This is a good signing by the Chiefs. Lenny Walls, I guess, was set to start at the corner slot opposite Surtain. (Walls, by the way, was a guy Edwards wanted to draft a few years ago.)
I guess William Bartee will be getting some extra spending money soon when Law takes #24. 87 career games and still zero interceptions for Bartee. That's what they teach 'em at Oklahoma.
Kansas City has non-divisional games versus Cincinnati, Arizona, Pittsburgh, Seattle, St. Louis, Miami, and Baltimore. All of those teams have good passing offenses, at least on paper. Their three AFC West rivals can also throw it. (Well, if you think Rivers is up to the task.)
Law again was suppose to be the missing link to a Superbowl caliber team. We were wrong and aren't going to overrate him again, what's so hillarious?
Law was about the only positive thing the jets had last year .. good move for him and the chiefs I.M.O certainly our loss once more we have to give up a class player was santana last year ..
I look at it differently. With Ty Law not getting nearly as much as he expected (for the second year in a row); playing for a coach who tolerates sloth in players, and who promised to take it easy on veterans; surrounded by a group of players who will certainly look to test out the limits of their new coach; Kansas City comes in as a close second in the ticking-time-bomb category. I get giddy just thinking about how ripe KC and Dallas are for drama, and I just hope they don't disappoint.
My thoughts exactly. Most of his interceptions were in December when we were long out of it. Besides, any DB with a fucking rule named after him is a problem.
