Players like TO & others are faster then him and it all happens in a split second...

Its outright foolish IMHO to say he has intent to do anything BUT make the tackle...

Perhaps if players have a concern about being injured around Roy, they should just go down? Or NOT play the GAME?

Holy crap!! Talkin defense and ol' Hollywood doesn't bash Zimmer for Roy's tacklin' tactics!!!

Supposed to rain tomorrow but now I doubt it.

P.S.
Roy will take T.O. behind the woodshed next year. Bet!!

Amen - 15 yards is better than a TD

Shouldn't Reid be worrying where his next meal is coming from?

Anyone else see the irony in the head coach of a goon defence which has injured more than its fair share of players whining about facing a horse collar tackler twice a year?

If the NFL starts banning tackling techniques everytime someone gets hurt, well then pretty soon the NFL is gonna have to start attaching flags to the players belts.

c'mon juke. am i to believe you are privy to the mind and intent of roy williams? in 46 years i have yet to meet one single graduate of "mind-reading school".

jerry is taking a "politically correct" stance - as it is one of his players at the center of this tempest in a teapot. he will be on record as "opposed to player injuries". at the same time he is probably hoping sanity will prevail and this NON-ISSUE will disappear - as it should.

Roy simply runs towards ballcarriers and pulls them down from behind. The fact that T.O., Tyrone Calico, and Musa Smith were injured because of Roy's tackling technique shouldn't be the impetus to initiate some silly new NFL rule prohibiting the maneuver, IMO.

Let's get real...Bronco O-Lineman have been chop blocking and injuring defensive players for years now and nothing has been done about it. Now that a Cowboy player is at the center of the discussion once again, there needs to be a new rule? Why am I not shocked!

Erik Williams and his hands initiated a rule change. Emmitt Smith and his helmet removal celebrations resulted in a new NFL rule. I can only speculate that if Ed Reed had made those same tackles, the media would be singing his praises.

Roy pulls ballcarriers down from behind on occasion. If players don't want to get tackled from behind, perhaps they should run a little faster.
