Wouldn't you say it's rather unrealistic to expect EVERY signing to be a "great" one??

Roy doesn't have the ability to put players in position to suceed the way Woody did... he can't call coverages like Woody... the addition of Henry and Glenn will shore up the secondary and frees up Roy from some of his coverage duties... but, IMO that puts more pressure on the FS... he has to play well enough so that Roy stays up close the LOS... as soon as the FS play drops, you can bet they move Roy back more...

The thing is, the one thing Izell Reese does best is play center field, which is PRECISELY the role you're describing... he doesn't let anybody get behind him, and is good at helping out in double coverage... so while he's no star, he does seem to be a good fit for the Cowboys' needs, IMO...
