Free Safety Play - Dallas Cowboys Forum

NOVA 22 · 11-05-2006

Keith Davis took his usual terrible angle on the Portis touchdown, which was his primary problem last year. That wasn't even a difficult play - he lacks the ability to assess plays like that.

The middle of the field was wide open all day - I really don't know why we can't find a guy who can make some plays back there for us.

we should Move Henry to FS..n start Revees or Nathan jones..keep AG at nickle

or Trade Henry..2nd round n 3rd round....for Chris Mcalister

They had a drive that was 4 plays 80 yards...

Thats unacceptable and the coaches should be ripping the secondary and the D as a whole for that garbage.

They gotta stop screwing around with this position.

True, we need a good free safey, I am still hoping that Watkins will be our future free star safety.

But, until this team really, really cares and wants to win, not just win one, lose one, win one, lose one, and quit these stupid penalities, then the Cowboys arent going anywhere.

Its like in pratice this week, Parcells cancelled it because it was slooopy play Wednesday. And then Friday last pratice, again Parcells had to cancel pratice, because the COWBOY PLAYERS WERE PLAYING SLOOPY AND DIDNT GIVE A CARE. THATS THE PROBLEM, TILL THEIR IS SOME MORE DISCIPLINE ON THIS TEAM, AND SOME ACCOUNTABILITY TOWARDS THESE PLAYERS THEN THE COWBOYS ARENT GOING TO WIN.

Like the coaches say and Parcells says, the coaches, can only get you in positioin to win, its up to the players to want to win, and win. Not just be content to win one, then lose one, then win, then lose. THE COWBOY PLAYERS ATTITUDE IS LOUSY. TILL THAT CHANGES FORGET IT!!!!!

All of our safeties sucked... Davis, Coleman, Roy... just horrid.

It's the same thing every year, and can be treaced to coaching. Like I said before, you can put Deion, Lott, and the Woodsons, all in their prime, and Zimmers coaching would make them average at best.

We now have elite plyers in the secondary, and they look now better than average. This has been a problem for many years.

I agree. This defense needs one player that is just flat out nasty. Nasty does not mean a thug. We just need an intense player on defense that wants to rip the enemy's head off.

Our safeties continue to play poorly.
Roy Williams gives up too many plays.
Davis can't seem to get the right angle on any play.

I don't recall us giving up any huge passing plays since Watkins has been benched. KD is an upgrade.

Did you watch the same game I watched?

Pretty sure I did, how many long td bombs did you see? I saw a run by Portis, and a pass to Cooley? How about you?

NOVA 22 · 11-05-2006

as stated in the original post, portis play about 90% davis' fault.
maybe not deep bombs, but why don't you tally up the wide open catches in the middle of the field

I agree there, Davis took a bad angle on the sweep off the left tackle, and there did seem to be quite a whole where the FS was, but I was glad to see no one getting behind him for a long TD.

Cooley was Roy's responsibility,too bad all we saw was Henry's effort to pick it up.Look at the tape if you can.
Roy had a PI called on him on the same drive.
Roy dropped a sure INT.
He had an atrocious game on pass coverage,because he is garbage on pass coverage.
