"I try not to think about it too much," Law said Friday, "but my body reminds me that I did play a little more than expected."

Law, 34, exceeded many expectations during last week's 34-31 overtime win over the Patriots. After only two days of practice with his new team - he signed a one-year contract Nov. 10 - Law was in for 57 defensive plays and was given the responsibility of shadowing Randy Moss.

"To be able to do the things we wanted from a Football standpoint in that short period of time, I thought he did a really outstanding job," defensive coordinator Bob Sutton said.

Law was defending Moss when the Patriots tied the score at 31 with one second remaining in regulation. In a basketball-like play, Moss got position on Law in the end zone, boxed him out, called for the ball with his left hand, dived to his left and made an outstanding catch across the sideline while dragging his feet for the touchdown.

But on the whole, Law was so impressive that he may have earned himself a starting spot to replace rookie cornerback Dwight Lowery, who has struggled recently.

"I'd be completely comfortable with him starting," coach Eric Mangini said. "I think last week was a good indication of where's he's at physically, and to be able to come in, not have done a lot of Football-specific things and still play as many plays as he played, I thought he played at a pretty good level."

While Law was quoted earlier in the week as saying there's a "pretty good chance" he'll start Sunday against the Titans, he said he's happy to contribute however he's used.

"I'll play whatever role they ask me to play. It's not that big of a deal starting now or starting next week. At some point, hopefully, I'll be in there," Law said. "I've been a starter for 14 years."

Knowing that Mangini has faith in him gives Law a boost. "He's the head coach, so if he feels comfortable, that's a compliment," Law said. "I'm a role player, so even if I did start, I'm quite sure that they are going to relieve me at times so I can catch up and get my legs under me. I'm just happy to be here. If I'm starting, I'm starting. If not, I'll be ready when they tell me to go."
