dryheat44 said:Not really. A QB can badly underthrow a WR, or a DE might deflect a pass straight up into the air. Those are right place/right time picks. I remember Law had one against Tampa, but I don't know if he had an abnormal amount. Four were vs Kelly Holcomb, which is an abnormal amount.
Anyway, I went through the games again. Some of these WRs Ty was probably covering for someone who blew a coverage, but in others, he blew the coverage and someone else made the tackle. Also, on touchdowns, the box scores don't note who was in coverage. I don't believe Ty would have had coverage on a TE or an RB, although it is possible that he did on some of the better TEs (Gonzalez, McMichael):
Kansas City: Gonzalez, Kennison. (1)
Miami: McMichael, McMichael, Chambers (1)
Jax: Williams, Jones, Williams (3)
Baltimore: Clayton (1)
Tampa: Alstott, Becht, Galloway, Smith, Pittman (1)
Buffalo: Moulds, Moulds, Reed (3)
Atlanta: None
San Diego: Tomlinson (0)
Carolina: Foster (0) Panthers ran almost every play
Denver: Devoe (1)
New Orleans: Stallworth, Stallworth, Hilton, Karney (2)
New England: Givens, Givens, Davis (3)
Oakland: Porter, Moss, Gabriel (3)
Miami: McMichael, Chambers (1)
New England: Faulk, Branch (1)
Buffalo: Parrish, Moulds (2)
So he gave up +/- 23 non-scoring catches, including several long ones, plus several touchdowns, plus 8 automatic first downs on penalties. Balance that against the INTs.
Great information.. Looking from a different perspective, how do we know he wasn't supposed to have Saftey help on some..
But that being said, I still love the stats.. I hope we can bring him back
