Maxman Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 http://www.jetnation.com/?p=314 CB Ty Law, 12.21.05 On his feelings on being nominated? It overwhelmed me a little bit. It is a great accomplishment and it meant more coming back from the injury. But that's an individual thing right there; I'm more of a team guy who wants team accomplishment. It feels a lot better to be on a winning team with a chance to make it to the playoffs. I got a little bit spoiled in New England by making the individual accomplishment and making the accomplishment as a team. I am very happy about it and I hope I can just go out there and keep performing these next two games. On this nomination being the most special one because of his injury comeback? It is. It ranks right up there with the first one, but your first one you are always going to remember because it is your first. The chance of me getting back to this point was a long shot . I am very happy with the result and I am looking to continue moving forward and playing All-Pro and Pro Bowl caliber football for some more years to come. On what he thinks was the deciding factor that helped him gain votes? I think you have to look at the overall package. Of course, INT are always going to play a factor no matter how that comes because they are so hard to come by in this League. When you look at the INT and the numbers and the opportunities that you get, I'm not one of those guys that get thrown at 10 and 11 times a game and come home with picks. Mine are few and far between, so when I get out of a season with six or seven interceptions, I've gotten some good ones. Most other guys get more opportunities then I get, so I think throughout my career I have averaged about three or four. Most of your better CB do that because they don't get that many opportunities. You don't see as many people throwing at me or Deion Sanders or Champ Bailey. That's only smart as on offense. You look at there tackling, of course you are going to miss some, but you have to make those tackles. They look at everything: support the run, knick down passes. All of it plays a part in it, but I think INT are the biggest part. On restructuring his contract to stay with the Jets? I love the organization. They gave me the opportunity and I love playing for Coach Edwards. I am not going to get into what I am going to be doing from a negotiation stand point; I'll leave that to my agent. The opportunity here is wanted and I do and will remember that. If I am playing for the Jets or anywhere else, I am going to go out there and play the best football that I can possibly bring to the table. I have two games left as a New York Jet and until I am not a New York Jet, I really can?t answer those type of questions with any integrity because I am still under contract. I would be a fool to sit here and tell you what know one knows for sure. Everything right now is speculation, it may be good speculation, but it is speculation. On wanting to remain with the Jets? I had a great time here and yes, I would. It would be great to rebound from this season and it was disappointing to me and everyone else in the organization. If I can help turn that thing around, I would love too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green DNA Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I guess the voters didn't see his numerous whiffs on tackles, especially in the Buffalo game. If he was one of the top corners in the AFC this year then the talent pool is extremely shallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Ty Law is being screwed by this coaching staff and front office. He is still a great player and it's being made to look like he has fallen off. Glad to see not everyone buys this bullsh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I'm not sure he deserved a Pro Bowl berth, but he is still a very good player. It's not his fault the season went to crap. Can't see why he'd be mad though. Somebody-the Cowboys or the Pats or the Giants or even the Steelers-is going to make him a wealthy man off this year, though his career figures to be a year-to-year thing from now on. Plus, he can sell his Jets helmet after the Pro Bowl for top dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Of Bavaria Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Ty Law might need this for the Pro Bowl. He left it on the field a few weeks ago. Law has has had a good season, but Pro Bowl? I don't know about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formula51 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 the fact remains that we could really use a talent like his, because as far as I'm concerned, we don't have a Pro Bowl ANYTHING on this team quite yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gainzo Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Ty Law is a winner and I would take him on my team (again) anytime. He is a CB and they all have ego's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Ty Law is a winner and I would take him on my team (again) anytime. He is a CB and they all have ego's. There lies the problem. The coaching staff mistakes stupidity (damien robinson, sam garnes, ect) with the ego that great cb's ty law has. This is a part of thier consistent misjudgment of DB talent.

4HCrew Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 His ego and talk does not warrant a pro bowl or a huge pay day next year. How many of his picks were actually due to great coverage? maybe 1 or 2. Ty take you and your penalties and ego and have fun in Oakland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
