Title: Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler CB Ty Law.... Post by: Rick on October 16, 2008, 07:46:56 pm Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler Ty Law
By Ethan J. Skolnick | South Florida Sun-Sentinel 3:26 PM EDT, October 16, 2008 The Dolphins have reached out to representatives for veteran free agent cornerback Ty Law, to discuss a workout for the five-time Pro Bowl selection, according to a source. Law, 34, hasn't played in the NFL this season, after starting 16 games for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2007. The South Florida resident has 52 career interceptions, including 10 for the New York Jets, but is best known for his 10 seasons with the New England Patriots. Law visited with the Jets during the offseason, and had phone conversations with the Patriots and Cleveland Browns. In July, he said that he had contract offers, but was waiting for the right opportunity. The Jets, Patriots and Browns are coached by extensions of the Bill Parcells coaching tree. Parcells is now the Dolphins' VP of Football Operations. The Dolphins are thin at the position, and allowed Texans quarterback Matt Schaub to throw for 378 yards in Sunday's 29-28 loss to Houston. Andre' Goodman did not practice Thursday due to what coach Tony Sparano called "a personal emergency," and Michael Lehan worked in his starting spot. Will Allen, who has been bothered by a sore knee, did practice. Sparano said he expected Goodman and Allen to play Sunday, and spoke highly of Jason Allen as a cornerback. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/sfl-law101608,0,7686958.stor (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/sfl-law101608,0,7686958.stor)y Title: Re: Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler CB Ty Law....

Post by: Sunstroke on October 17, 2008, 01:26:20 am Doesn't take any draft picks to get him...won't require a long term commitment...probably won't requiire a boatload of cash... Sure, it can't hurt to bring him in and check out how much of his skills are still there and see what he can do to help this team. Title: Re: Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler CB Ty Law....

I think he could teach our secondary a thing or two. If he could play at a high level he would have a job. Title: Re: Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler CB Ty Law.... Post by: Dave Gray on October 17, 2008, 08:33:58 am Law may not have elite physical skills anymore, but he's probably still mentally up to the task. I think that's part of our problem.

Title: Re: Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler CB Ty Law.... Post by: Defense54 on October 17, 2008, 09:48:13 am I'm all for it........but if they give him this giant payday when they let Probowler Zach Thomas go for Peanuts.........I'm gonna be pissed.
Title: Re: Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler CB Ty Law.... Post by: JoblessJayFiedler on October 17, 2008, 11:41:52 am It looks like he's swayed towards joining the Cowboys or Packers.
Title: Re: Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler CB Ty Law.... Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on October 17, 2008, 11:57:58 am He want a lot of cash.
Title: Re: Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler CB Ty Law.... Post by: YoFuggedaboutit on October 17, 2008, 12:28:08 pm If he wants too much money, then I'd rather take a pass.
Title: Re: Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler CB Ty Law.... Post by: StL FinFan on October 17, 2008, 12:55:18 pm There has to be at least one good reason why he is without a team. My guess is there are several.
Title: Re: Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler CB Ty Law.... Post by: Brian Fein on October 17, 2008, 01:14:55 pm There's 2 things to this story that annoy me:
1.) Ty Law is a Parcells guy. Who's next, Dave Meggett? 2.) I wonder if they're searching for that veteran leadership that we all screamed about in the preseason, but they seemingly didn't give a crap about? Title: Re: Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler CB Ty Law.... Post by: bsfins on October 17, 2008, 03:35:33 pm I really don't hink Ty laws Coming to Miami,He wants to play for a contender....I also feel like Will Allen's knee is more than Sore....
Title: Re: Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler CB Ty Law.... Post by: Tenshot13 on October 17, 2008, 04:59:42 pm We should sign Ty Law AND John Lynch...and bring back T-buck ;D
Title: Re: Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler CB Ty Law.... Post by: Rick on October 17, 2008, 05:55:14 pm 1.) Ty Law is a Parcells guy. Who's next, Dave Meggett? Why would Ty Law being a Parcells guy annoy you?...The "Parcells guys" who are playing for Miami this season have contributed pretty friggin much to this fast turnaround from last years disastrous team and HEAD Coach (Pennington, J. Ferguson, Fasano etc.)Miami's secondary has been a big problem this season, so IF Ty Law can still play Why not sign him????....Miami can still win a bunch of games this year....The AFC east is wide open (especially with Brady out)...The Dolphins have a shot at the playoffs and the division title....signing a key veteran CB like Ty Law would not hurt that cause at all. WR Keyshawn Johnson is also waiting for a call to replace your boy Tedd Ginn ;) ;D Title: Re: Dolphins talking to Pro-Bowler CB Ty Law....

Gotta agree with Tommy on this one. Will Allen may be better though with Law's age being a factor. Regardless, I bet Law wouldn't drop 3 out of every 4 easy INTs. |
