No one can tell me...Ty Law *merge*

[Nors]

Jets won -

Booked, shut it down mods

 

[Kilyin]

Moss was shutdown until he got that last reception, which was a great play on his part. But keep telling yourself that Law was giving up plays all night long. The stats don't lie, unless you have an anti-Law agenda.

Keep telling yourself Ty Law was shutting down Randy Moss all night, Corky.

Would that be Corky from, Life goes on? If so, :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

 

[bbgun]

I will take that bet.

He was drafted in 1995. During that off season we signed Deion Sanders to play CB opposite Kevin Smith and we did not have a 1st round pick in the 1995 Draft. I doubt we thought he'd fall to the 2nd round though it would have saved us from Sherman Williams if it was true.

No interest.

Actually, we signed him to replace the injured Kevin Smith.

Matt Cassel threw for like 400 yards lol Law sure made a big difference in the Jets pass defense :laugh2:

 

[mperfection]

So the Jets are about to win this in OT and it'll be because they signed Law this week huh?

We've never been interested in him people. Ever.

And that's supposed to be to our "virtue"?

As someone has said already on this thread, Law not having played all season > Henry.

 

[EveryoneElse]

Hmmm...

Every time the Patriots lose, Nors goes into hiding for a day or so, or at least it seems that way.

Hmmm...

Ty Law is washed up.

 

[SDogo]

We should trade Glover and Coakley for Law.

Seriously

 

[dbair1967]

Ty law wouldn't have been a nice veteran addition to this team. He signed on tuesday and is out their in Randy Moss grill tonight.....Amazing. The guy still has the smarts and the savvy to add something to a contending team. Great signing by the jets for the strecth run.

didnt Matt Cassell throw for 400 yds, 3 tds and no picks? THATS MATT CASSELL

Yeah, Ty Law really made an impact, clearly we couldnt have done without him

 

[Hostile]

And that's supposed to be to our "virtue"?

As someone has said already on this thread, Law not having played all season > Henry.

I never said the guy can't play. He's a topic here only because of a bogus rumor that we tried to trade for him in 2004. There is no truth to that rumor at all.

Let me remind people that in 2004 when Steven Jackson was there for the taking that our very own Dale was right there at Valley Ranch covering the Draft. As our pick approached and we were all excited that Steven Jackson had fallen into our laps, Dale, in the chat room, reported that he heard Parcells say this...

I don't want to deal with the ****ing Postons.

At that point we all knew that we were not going to take Jackson but many of us thought it would therefore be Kevin Jnoes, the other top rated back. The trade with the Rams floored many of us.

Someone on this board who has pimped Law to the point of aggravation has said that one round later we tried to make a trade for Ty Law. Who is he represented by? If you said Carl Poston, congratulations. You earn a cookie.

The infatuation with Ty Law has never stopped since that day as thread after thread of what we passed up to take Jacob Rogers has littered this forum. That's right litter. The kind a kitty uses. Ty Law is a pet cat, nothing more.

The other day the same poster told me via e-mail that had Scott Pioli not held out for a #1 pick we would have made that trade. That is a complete change from the previous prevarication that he shared. Especially since we did in fact trade our #1 pick.

Ask yourself this, why did no member of the 2004 DFW media ever report that we tried to acquire him? Why did no National media member ever report it? They all report every whisper. Answer, they all knew is was a pure doodoo and they would not sully their reputations by reporting it. Make no mistake about it, DFW media members do read here from time to time. They saw the reports. They checked up on the story.

None reported it. Ask any one of them that you wish if we ever made overtures for Law in 2004 with our 2nd Round Draft pick that turned out to be Jacob Rogers. (Yet never offered the 2nd round pick from the Rams that we used to take Julius Jones, despite now having heard offers for our #1 pick. How conveniently the author of this lie forgets.) They will tell you that we never did. Ever.

Virtue in that? I have no idea. I'm not looking for moral victories. I'm talking about the truth. If we had traded for him considering the money he always demands could we have acquired and re-signed some of our players? Doubtful.

I have also told people that I contacted someone very high up with the Cowboys and asked him directly. His exact words to me question if there was any truth to this Internet rumor were, "none at all."

If you want to hold out hope that we will ever be interested in Ty Law, be my guest. PT Barnum always needs more people to prove he was right.

One day I may get fed up and post a poll to see how many people truly believe we have ever had any interest in Ty Law. If it is more than 1 poster I swear I will laugh until I crack my ribs.

 

[Temo]

This post sure got funny quickly. Let this be a reminder to everyone: don't make threads in the middle of a game, you never know how it will turn out (even to the point of 400 yards passing and a game-tying 4th down TD pass to the guy your man is covering... heh).

This sounds like more of a problem with the 'Fountain of Misinformation' Nors than it does with Ty Law the player.

I had no knowledge that the scenario you mentioned had ever taken place (or more accurately, not taken place).

My interest in the subject was that I thought the Cowboys could use some veteran help at cornerback given their injuries/suspensions and that Law could help provide that.

That's as far as it went with me.

I then watched a guy last night who was on the street just days earlier and I thought he did a good job for the Jets.

He wasn't Deion good, but I thought he played well overall.

Hopefully with Newman's return, it will quickly become a moot point.

 

[Kilyin]

I will concede Law is probably a better player than Henry.

I took issue with people (jdumb2k4) claiming he was shutting down Moss all by his lonesome.

I did miss most of the first half, but from what I saw Law wasn't on the field a good majority of the time. And the only times I saw him line up on Moss aside from the game tying TD he gave up; was when they flipped the coverage (thereby putting Law on Moss instead of Gaffney) and Collinsworth mentioned it. After that is when all the posts about how magnificent Law was for shutting down Moss for the entirety of the game started spawning.

From what I understand Law was just playing part time corner and was only on the field for about 15 or so plays.

That is exactly the problem with it. Every time a CB missed an assignment we had a new thread. People got fed up. No one who has been around this forum since its inception wants to hear about Ty Law coming to Dallas.

If the claim was he was shutting down Moss by himself, that certainly wasn't accurate.

He was harrassing Moss off the line and covering him with help over the top.

But in that capcaity, I thought he was doing a good job.

Especially for just getting back on the field.

I'd take that up with Nors.

I didn't have anything to do with his false rumor-mongering.

I just saw an experienced player who I thought could help this team.

I'm a victim of circumstance I tell ya!

 

[TNCowboy]

Actually, we signed him to replace the injured Kevin Smith.

I remember Barry Switzer begging Jerry Jones at a press conference to get Deion after Kevin Smith blew his achilles in the Giants game.

Was that a press conference or a Pizza Hut commercial?

Heck, maybe it was a Nike commercial?
