Green Jets & Ham Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 TY LAW is a DIFFERENCE MAKER One of the few CB's in the league who can practically take away one half of the field He can take the oppositions best WR and render him inconsequential Some call it a Shutdown Corner, others call it a #1 Corner, but whatever you wanna call it, Ty Law IS IT ========== I'd like to elaborate on this further, because the term "Shutdown Corner" is so often misunderstood when taken literally That's the mistake folks make, and that's why the phrase loses it's meaning In the literal sense there is no such thing as a Shutdown Corner, but there are a select few corners who can take the oppositions best WR, week after week, and render him inconsequential What does that mean? It means he can prevent the best WR's in the league, who specialize in WRECKING THE GAME, from, well, WRECKING THE GAME I'm talkin about WR's who wreck the game for a living ... that's what they do ... that's why they make the big bucks ... that's why their faces are splashed all over espn and their highlights all over NFL Primetime, week after week ... except when they face a cat like Ty Law ... that's where the party ends Oh sure, they may make a few catches during the course of 60 minutes ... there will often be no shutting down in the literal sense ... but you don't WRECK THE GAME verses Ty Law, and that's why he's heading to Canton That's the type of player the Jets are seeking to add here ... Just so we can be clear about that ... and that's why some of us, who understand what makes a Ty Law unique, are chomping at the bit for this signing to happen In that sense Ty Law is a Shutdown Corner ... a difference maker ... call it what you will, but Ty Law IS IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alk Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 call it what you will, but Ty Law IS IT So if I were to say that he is a money grubbing whore with one bad wheel...Ty Law IS IT? Oh yeah, he's still going to be a Patriot when it's all said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, he's still going to be a Patriot when it's all said and done. Will you be talking about the bad wheel if he signs in NE, or will a miracle have occurred in that scenario? It will be fun to watch Ty laying down the Law in GREEN... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadetree Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Ty Law works for me. Added to an already very good defense would be sweeeet. Out OT situation is making me nauseous, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Is there any prospective FA or FA signing of the Jets that isn't the difference maker to the fans? We've been signing FAs every year since 1968 that we're supposed to be the difference maker for the Jets Lombardi yet I still have a hole in my drywall. Esiason, O'Donnell, Lott, the list goes on, yet the trophy case is still bare. Call me when the Jets get to the big dance. Until then, everyone can spare me the "Final piece of the Super Bowl" puzzle bull$hit that flies around this place everytime some one is signed or drafted.

GimmeShelter Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I haven't seen many (if any) posts stating Law equals SB. I have seen, if healthy Law is a major improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasonJet Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Lesson learned. Never mess with a moderator. I would hardly take that post seriously. I know the guy who posted that and we were just talking about how we were booking tickets to Detroit. It's all in good fun, my friends. Pardon us for being up hopelessly optimistic.

Ferris Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 TY LAW is a DIFFERENCE MAKER One of the few CB's in the league who can practically take away one half of the field He can take the oppositions best WR and render him inconsequential Just out of curiousity? do the jets have a shutdown corner opposite Ty Law? Which receiver do you put Ty Law on in the game in Detroit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasonJet Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Just out of curiousity? do the jets have a shutdown corner opposite Ty Law? Which receiver do you put Ty Law on in the game in Detroit? Our #2 corner is David Barrett. He is solid though certainly not on Ty Law's level. You guys better be watching out for a certain #51 though. Vilma can wreak havoc. Though I doubt he'll do that much in the first preseason game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Just out of curiousity? do the jets have a shutdown corner opposite Ty Law? Which receiver do you put Ty Law on in the game in Detroit? Obviously, Ty Law will be on Roy Williams. And David Barrett will cover the injury proned Charles Rogers :wink: . I guess Derrick Strait or Justin Miller would be covering Big Mike.

Ferris Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Its funny how well I know the Lions and the NFC, and have no clue about 90 percent of the jets.. check out www.bigmikewilliams.com for some cool stuff on him, I think he can be a great receiver but right now he's number 4, we picked up a vet from Baltimore named Kevin Johnson who is starting at number 3 Vilma is a linebacker? he must be a big hitter... Detroit got a strong safety from Denver Kenoy Kennedy, I guess he's supposed to be a big hitter, hopefully he can lay one of your receivers out this friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Vilma is a linebacker? Uh yeah, LOL. He won DROY last season. I noticed your sig, and that is true, Ty Law cannot cover 3 different talented WRs at the same time, but he can take out 1 and the other 2 are unproven and our other cornerbacks are pretty good as well. Most importantly, the lions will benefit from not seeing John Abraham due to him holding out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
