Law should also be worked into the dime and will be a huge bonus in zone coverages where his ability to read an offenses play before it fully develops will pay off huge since intelligence is more important than speed and agility in playing the underneath zone.

With this it shows that Law will not be covering the #1 W.R. Law (should be able to still handle the #3-4 wideouts just with his experience. It's been a while so I am not sure how he tackles and plays the run. This position will help with the run as well. If you do know please help me out. THANKS

a nickelback is a cornerback who serves as the fifth (in addition to the typical four) defensive back on the defense. A base defense contains four defensive backs, consisting of two cornerbacks, and two safeties. Adding an extra back makes five, hence the term “nickel”, which is the name for 5-cent coins in the United States and Canada. Usually the nickelback will take the place of a linebacker, so if the team was in a 4-3 formation, there would now be four linemen, only two linebackers and five defensive backs creating a 4-2-5 formation. However, some teams will replace a lineman rather than a linebacker, creating a three linemen, three linebacker and five defensive back alignment, a 3-3-5 formation. If an offensive team always uses three or more wide receivers, a defense may turn to a nickel defense for their base package on most plays. Usually extra defensive backs, such as a nickelback, are substituted into the defense in situations where the opposing offense is likely to attempt a forward pass, such as 3rd-and-long, or when extra receivers are substituted into the opposing offense.

The nickelback is the third cornerback on the depth chart. The nickelback is not considered a starting position because the starting formation for a defense has only two cornerbacks. Defensive formations with four or more cornerbacks are used often enough that a nickelback will usually see moderate playing time (particularly in the modern, pass-oriented NFL) as well as subbing in for the starting corners.

Not related but Bill Simmons said this about the coming matchup:
I am not buying the whole “Baltimore proved how to stop Denver's offense” thing. At all. Guarantee Josh McDaniels studied what the Ravens did for 75 hours this week and made all the necessary adjustments. Beware of the altitude; beware of Elvis and Knowshon; and most of all, beware of the Neck Beard.

Nice

Law is a more physical and crafty player that fits in better with McD's philosophy of smash mouth football. Williams was owned by Kelley Washington because Washington is 6-3 217. Not because Washington has any special skills. That is why he was cut.

I'll leave it at this. If Ty Law is in shape and can still play at an elite level then I don't mind the signing. BUT if he brakes down then I'll be upset that we got rid of potential for experience.
