Wrestlemania is coming on ..... I will argue the stupidity of benching our best Strong Safety tomorrow.

Isn't the Big Show supposed to be fighting Mayweather?

I don't think Big Show and Mayweather are fighting, acting out a staged event is more accurate.

yes, but the answer your looking for is should he? Is the tandem of Hamlin and Watkins better than the tandem of Hamlin and Williams? I don't think so. If Roy doesn't pick his game up then cut or trade him when feasible and move Hamlin (if you can sign him) to SS. If your happy with Watkins fine, if not I would think about Henry at FS. He has the size, speed and has played FS before.

Actually, a tandem with Hamlin at SS with Watkins or Henry at FS would be a better coverage unit. Roy just delivers big hits and he has been whiffing on them lately. Overall, Hamlin can play SS better than Roy. Of that, I am certain.

If he could that could solve our safety problem, let Watkins play FS. Or if they get the PacMan and draft a high corner, then you could let Henry move to safety. Several corners have moved to safety towards the end of their career. Make Roy a situational player if he refuses to improve and lay off the biscuits.

I thought they brought in Campo to try to get Roy back to form. Gotta see how that turns out.

I am merely posing a rhetorical question that we may need to implement at some point in the future if Roy doesnt improve. If he turns it around, then this is all a moot point. But it is nice to have contingency plans. The staff started sitting Roy in certain situations during the last part of the season anyway.

If Campo can turn Roy around, then he deserves a nice raise.:starspin

You can't teach a old dog new tricks. My expectations are very low.

So you're assuming that Wadkins, who was not a starter for Dallas last year, is a better FS than Roy Williams, who went to the probowl, is a SS....I can't say I agree with that.

I'm not a big Roy fan...as a matter of fact, I got sick of his sissy ankle diving tackles on RB's that started a few years ago...he'll crush a helpless WR if he gets the chance, but let a RB run up his face and lower a shoulder, and you always see Roy kissing the turf.

However, Roy is still one of the top two safeties on this team, and I seriously doubt we'll see him replaced this year.

Roy is just an overpaid Keith Davis with a lot less heart. There is no way Roy is better than Pat Watkins. Watkins can actually cover.

Enough with this Watkins crap. If he was who you thought he was we wouldn't be looking at Kenny Phillips or any safties in this draft.

Then why are we looking at drafting safeties in this draft? If the coaches believed that watkins was the man for the job we would just move Hamlin to SS and put Watkins in a FS. I like Watkins but he is what he is and thats and average player. Hate on Roy all you want but if you think Watkins is an upgrade its you who don't know whats really going on. Now I will say this, he is going into his 3rd year and should be ready to produce but again the coaches must see something that you don't because we are looking a safties in this draft.

There was a rumor on 103.3 earlier in the day. Ed Werder came on the radio, and the radio host was asking him a few questions about our secondary. Werder said that the team is growing increasingly unhappy with Roy Williams, and he also dropped this little nugget - "Pat Watkins is tall, guys. Like...really tall. Like he could probably be an NBA player, maybe a guard or small forward, because he's got mad hops. Someone even posted a great picture of him skying at Florida State, once. The only problem is, that I whistled for a cab, and when it came near, the license plate said 'Fresh' and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I said 'Nah, forget it, yo holmes - to Bel-Air!" And that's why she chose Rhett.
