Jets sign Law

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.

He's still playing??

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?

Not really. I would've rather they cut Drew Coleman (I don't know what Mangini's hard-on for him is about), because Miller can at least contribute on special teams, but with Leon returning kicks now, Miller was expendable. He may turn out to be a decent corner, but in two years at the position, he was pretty mediocre.

I think Feely's performance on Sunday made the kicker decision tough. Nugent is slightly more reliable than Feely, but it's tough to cut a guy who just nailed 46, 49 and 55-yarders in succession.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Law played for the Jets in 2005 (Edwards' last horrific season). They paid him $$ with little return from a team standpoint, although he had a bunch of INTs that year. They allowed him to walk because he wanted even more money.

Justin Miller missed almost all of last season with a knee injury, and hardly made it onto the field this year.
It was his kick-off returns in 2006, and not his play at corner, that will be remembered.
