Have to admit I was wrong on the impact Ty Law could have on a short week in the biggest game of the season, if not the last decade against the Patriots on Thursday night.  I felt Law made be useful in nickel and dime packages on passing downs, but to my, and probably a lot more people’s, surprise Law was up to the challenge of covering one of the leagues premier receivers, Randy Moss. 

    In a contest that saw Matt Cassell put up “Brady-like” stats both through the air and on the ground ( 400 passing yards and teams leading rusher with 62 yds ) Moss only caught three passes for 26 yards.  Of course Moss’s last catch was the biggest on 4th down for a game tying touchdown with one second remaining and forcing overtime after the Jets held a first half advantage of 24-6.

     Law played like he hasn’t missed a beat being off the field all season.  He played like he did when I couldn’t stand him as a member of the Patriots.  He played that physical style of football that shut receivers like Marvin Harrison and Hines Ward down just a few seasons ago.

      Whether or not Law can keep this level of play up for the remainder of the year remains to be seen.  Lots of discussion after the game about whether or not Law should start opposite Revis.  It was even the question on SNY during Jets Postgame Live after Thursday’s game.  Can/will he be the starter this week against the undefeated Titans?  Don’t know, but I know this, if Law plays up to the level he played against the Patriots, he will give the Jets a chance to knock Tennessee from the ranks of the unbeaten.
