Bucky Brooks sounds confused ???

• Roy Williams' reported displeasure in his role in the Cowboys defense is an example of a player having an unrealistic assessment of his own skills.
Despite earning five Pro Bowl nominations, Williams is a one-dimensional player with severe limitations in coverage. The Cowboys' decision to keep him off the field in obvious passing situations was wise considering his struggles against the deep ball. "Roy has to trust that I'm going to put him in situations where he can be successful," Cowboys defensive coordinator Brian Stewart said. "But I can't compromise the success of the team to appease one player."

The Cowboys still envision Williams being integral to their defense and will likely experiment with several packages to get him back on the field in some passing situations. One of those packages may include Williams lining up as a nickel linebacker in their dime defense. By inserting him into the hybrid position, the Cowboys can take advantage of his rush skills while limiting his exposure in coverage. Crafting a role that plays to his strengths could satisfy the disgruntled veteran's wishes to be more involved in the defense without weakening the Cowboys' coverage.

I am wondering if that Stewart quote was said directly to Bucky Brooks? Or did I miss it in an interview somewhere this week where Stewart said that?

Roy has no passing rushing skills and he played that hybrid LB role last season. Did this guy talk to or read anything before writing this blurb?

Not for nothing, but after reading this from Bucky I can't trust anything else he writes for the rest of my life. lol.

I was going to write the exact same thing. "Rush skills"?! That IS funny. However, he DOES have horse collar skills...

Roy just needs to study film, diet and play ball

Roy just needs to study film, diet and play ball

He is going to do that, right after he's done getting fitted for his new #38 jersey.

I heard all this stuff last year. please!!!!! only 1 more year with this guy on this teamray:

 

[CalCBFan]

Roy just needs to study film, diet and play ball

I posted this comment from Nate Newton during the season.


Nate was on Talking Cowboys and said all Roy had to do was spend some time after practice every day, trying to cover WRs. That's what Darren Woodson did when he came into the league and it made him a top notch FS w/ great cover skills. Nate's opinion was that Roy wasn't willing to put in the work necessary to improve his cover skills. Nate said Roy could get an enormous improvement by going against WRs in after-practice sessions.

Since Nate was around a long time and saw a lot of football in his years in the league, I'll listen to his opinion. I know he's had his problems w/ pot, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know football...

 

[cowboyjoe]

thats true calcbfan,

the problem is roy williams not wlling to work, study and practice hard, nate did say that;

now granted nate had some trouble with pot, etc, but he knows football;

roy williams in my opinion should have his butt kicked by his teammates for letting them down, not working hard

we all know how roy came in last year, using a weight diet program to get in shape, thats not going to work, if you remember jimmy johnson famous words, fatigue makes cowards of you, so study and work hard, practice hard

its like jen floyd engel said, this crap about roy bashing the fans, and people not supporting him, we have been supporting him the last 3 years or more, each time, he does less and less in the offseason workouts,

even the cowboys staff have had to literally beg him to come in and work out, again like engel said, 2 of the OTAs he missed, he was gving a function charity, thats all nice and good, but roy, where did you get the money to hold these functions and charities, from jerry jones your boss of the dallas cowboys,

you should be honoring your contract by studying hard, practicing hard, getting in shape and studying film,

when you say that you dont want to do it or not come in and work out, you are basically saying, you dont care, and you dont care about your teammates, or the dallas cowboys, you just want the fame and glory without hard work and practice.

again, your letting the legends that have played the game, cliff harris, charley waters, mike downs, james washington and even your buddie darren woodson,

your embarrasing the dallas cowboys history and the dallas cowboys and the fans now,

roy, without the fans buying tshirts, jerseys, paying to watch football, going to games, etc, do you think you would be getting the money to do what your doing now? NO!!!!!! So, get off of your lazy butt and attitude and be the player you said you were,

finally, you said it was a dream for you to play for the cowboys, well your sure not showing that by bashing the fans, the former great dallas cowboys whom played the safety position and your teammates,

if its true like coordiantor stewart said, he cant compromise the success of the team to appease one player, again, you missed 2 important OTAs, that the cowboys staff could have worked with you, get to know your strenghts and weaknesses to put you in better position to make plays, but what were you doing, showing off at one of your charities, and dont tell me, oh, i forgot i had a OTA, youi know when OTAs are, you could have scheduled your charity around that, another time, but we all know, you dont have the guts and heart to practice hard and study,

if you had put in the half the workouts and practice and study of films that you have compalined, and lacked working out, you would have been a good safety again, so dont look at anyone else but yourself roy,

we are tired of your playing around, and not wanting to play football, but only when you wanted too, so ony your the one person to blame, get off of your lazy butt and get to working again, like jason witten does or tony romo or T O, or demarcus ware, shut up or put up roy,

The Cowboys' decision to keep him off the field in obvious passing situations

This is a female moth.

 

[dcfanatic]

This is a female moth.

Is that why he didn't start against the Packers last season?

And go.

 

[superpunk]

Is that why he didn't start against the Packers last season?

OMG...he was out of the game for about 2 plays?

This is earth-shattering stuff.

If you're going to define "took him off the field in passing situations" as "wasn't on the field this one time when this one team came out with 2 wide receivers", then I guess we take Terrence Newman off the field in passing situations, too.

we don't take Roy off the field in passing situations. Some people are too stupid to realize this.

Calm down with the people are too stupid stuff. Play nice.

In two weeks in a row, the Jets and Packers games, the Cowboys defense came out to start the game with 3 CB's and 1 Safety to begin the game.

Against the Jets that Safety was Hamlin. The Jets started with 2 WR's and 2 RB's (Jones/Washington).

The Packers started with 4 WR's.

In both scenarios Roy was on the bench to begin the game. There has to be something to the fact that one team brings out it's lead RB and it's scat back so the Cowboys switch up the D. Then the Pack also throw out a non-traditional set up with 4 WR, which was normal for them, and again we counter with a different D to start the game.

IMO, Wade was trying different things to try and see how to best utilize his players in defending the pass or the threat of a passing play.

No?

And you need to write more than one sentence in your responses!!!! :laugh2:

That is why we had to witness him getting burned so much last year. The guy is a shadow of his former self. Heck, not only is he bad in coverage, he doesn't even bring the wood anymore. I used to be a huge Roy fan but come on, he pretty much sucked last year. If he doesn't make a HUGE improvement this year then it will probably be his last.

People. Please. This stuff has all been debunked repeatedly in other threads. Can we please stop repeating it in new ones?

And Roy didn't suck last year. That's just a *stupid* thing to say. You can say 'he didn't play up to his contract' if you care to. That's at least debatable. If he's not here next year, it's because he's not a good value and b/c we have another safety we might rather take care of. It won't be because he sucks. If we were to cut him this summer, he'd be unemployed all of a day.

I find it very amusing that one person's opinion can "debunk" another person's opinion.

There are still people that think Quincy Carter was going to be a great QB.

You can love Roy all you want. As for me, unless he makes a HUGE improvement this year, then I will be happy to see him cut. If #38 plays like #31 from his first few seasons then I will jump back on the bandwagon.

 

[JBS]

why do I keep reading articles about how one of Roy's strengths is blitzing? Last I checked he was an absolutely terrible blitzer. He doesn't even get past the LOS in most situations and if he does the RB stonewalls him.

 

[jamesdojr]

Bottom line: If Roy Williams is not sleeping 6 hours a day and using the other 18 hours a day working on speed (forward, backwards, and lateral), coverage techniques, and dieting, he needs to be cut. He knows his weakness. If every ounce of his being isn't about improving, then it shows he just does not care. Which, in turn, means his coaches should no longer care about Roy....

If I were him, I'd not only be working with the Dallas staff but I'd be working with Carl Lewis, Darrell Green, Champ Bailey, Deion Sanders, Terrence Newman, Olympic track coaches, speed coaches, dieticians.... you name it, I'd be doing it.

I'm sick of Roy blaming everyone else...
