Law don't go around here Law Dog


The Broncos have signed former Patriot Ty Law, presumably to be their nickel back.  The Broncos have had some trouble with their third cornerback in the last couple of weeks and this seems like a last ditch effort to shore up the position before the Steelers, with their penchant for Monday night dominance, roll into town. 

It seems like a smart move: Law can't be much worse than what they have at #3.  Law is a savvy veteran who has played on a McDaniels coached team.  However, Law will playing two or three days after joining the team.  Also, the familiarity with McDaniels does not amount for much, considering McDaniels was an offensive coach for the Pats. 

I cannot see Ty Law and his old as Methuselah legs keeping up with Mike Wallace.  I sure hope he cannot, because the other members of the Broncos secondary have been playing outstanding this season.  If Law shuts down Wallace, don't expect much from Santonio (matched up against Bailey) or even Hines.  Now, if Law cannot cover Wallace, that means Dawkins or someone else will be helping on the coverage which might free up Santonio or Hines.

Ty Law’s 40 time 15 YEARS AGO was 4.47…2/10ths of a second slower than Wallace, and I can’t imagine he sped up any… But with his crafty veteran-ness, he should make some plays, unless Burner Wallace just turns him into something Cajun fried…

Don’t expect much from Hines?

Are you kidding? Hines isn’t difficult to stay with, but he catches balls when covered and finds gaps in zone coverage better than most receivers. Hines will get a few key grabs if they play man, and tear them up if they play zone.

Hines is doing so well this year because the O-line is giving Ben (and Hines) more time. Hines will find an opening if you give him much time. Which is probably one of the reasons Ben holds the ball, he knows 86 will get open soon.

remember last years playoffs when old man Law was playin for the Falcons?

it was not pretty. He was crispy burnt every time he tried to cover anyone. I sincerely hope that he gets to cover Mike Wallace. Hell, he couldn’t even cover Morley Safer! lmao

Law can't be in game shape,

but to bring him in makes Ariens consider some alternatives. I don’t think he’ll see much playing time.

My heros have always been Steelers...
