I admittedly haven't been able to watch many games, but by looking at the stat sheets, and seeing all the passing yards they've given up, combined with Lowery making so many tackles, I would suspect he's been struggling pretty badly.

No way to know what Law has left, but he should be in a position to make some plays, and experience can make up for physical limitations.

Revis struggles a little when he has to face strong WR's like T.O. or Dwayne Bowe, but against finesse guys like Lee Evans, Moss, Torry Holt, Chris Chambers, he's as good as it gets.

Lowery started the season great, but has hit a bump in his learning curve. He got called for two unnecessary penalties against St. Louis and he was benched against Buffalo the week before.

This is moreso an indictment of Justin Miller/Drew Coleman/Ahmad Carroll/Pee Wee Herman and the rest of the Jets' nickel corner merry-go-round than it is of Lowery, however. The Jets have been solid against #1 and #2 WR's, but have struggled against #3's and tight ends. That's where Law will likely be asked to help out, because unless he experiences a renaissance, he's not going to be the #2 corner.

Yeah, he's been a good special teams guy, but they don't trust him at corner at all.

There's no one worse than Drew Coleman though. Ty Law is a million years old and slower than molasses going uphill and I still would prefer him to Coleman.

Before Miller got hurt in pre-season, he was being talked up as having a great camp and the starter opposite Revis. Now, he can't even get on the field (although at least he's not inactive)??

The Jets cut him today to make room for Law. Miller was an awesome kick returner, but a perfect mediocrity at corner. When I wanted the Jets to take a corner in this year's draft, I had people argue with me that Miller was good enough to be #2. That worked out well.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Patriots pick him up.

Wow, the Jets originally cut Law because they wanted to get younger. Now the cut Miller for law, that's a little mind boggling. Supposedly, Nugent is close to coming back. I wonder if they considered cutting Feeley or maybe even putting Nugent on the IR just to open up a space. Joey (or another other Jet fan) Do you think that they gave up on Miller too soon?
