Unfortunately, if we're using Roy Williams as comparison, he was a hard hitter who sometimes tried to lay a hit instead of tackling properly (and hence would allow the ballcarrier to slip away.) He also was notoriously slow and bad in coverage. So let's hope Adams isn't Roy.

The destructive version before he got fat and stopped caring ... also, Adams has about 100 football IQ points on RW

No.
Darren Woodson was a converted 6-1-219 pound LB with 4.45 40yd speed and was a play maker with interceptions, fumble recoveries, and forced fumbles. However, it is the versatility that separates him from Adams. He could play nickle LB, FS, SS, and cover in the slot.
Jamal Adams is good and could develop into a Woody, but his play making is lacking and he has not shown Woody's versatility.

What's noteworthy about Woodson is that he grew up a Steelers fan and hated Dallas, but still played thoroughly professionally and 100% for Dallas once he did arrive, becoming one of the all-time Cowboys greats.

Roy Biscuit Williams eventually developed a poor attention span and work ethic, and that led to more disciplinary and fundamental-less player as his career went on, it seems like he ended on the down slide since Darren Woodson departed.
In his first two years, there wasn't a more feared and concussive hitting head hunter coming out of the college
ranks. and he had INT skills too. He did not have top man coverage skills but just like a John Lynch, some things could have been hidden and masked to an extent.
Roy's tackling became so sloppy that he developed a horrible habit of the "horse collar " tackle. and because of
he was quite frequent with it despite several players being severely injured by it. And the NFL worked fast to
make the Roy Horse Collar a permanent no-on rule in today's era.

I would probably give Woodson the edge in coverage but the reality is that Adams is the better safety.
Put Adams on a quality defense and the guy will be tearing it up all over the place. Sacks, picks, rumbles, tackles, intimidation, you name it.
Adams on that 90's Cowboys team would be insane.
