41gy watching you call the player involved as well as the coach that called the play liars is hilarious


.Keep up the fight, the humiliation is great entertainment

I didn't quite tap out, did I?

I know I've built a strong case when I get responses like this one. If my argument was so poor, you wouldn't even bother with me. I think the Roy apologists don't llike me too much.

Can I call Roy Williams to the stand? He took the blame for sure on the first TD. I would love to have this before a jury.

How is that saying Williams is lying. I'm simply using his own words along with the visual evidence of the plays and the experts analysis of the plays.

How many times are you going to ignore what Roy said?

And what Parcells said?

And what Aaron Glenn said?

And what "everybody at Valley Ranch said"?

NOTHING that you have posted has come close to refuting any of what they said. And what they said directly refutes EVERYTHING you have posted.

So, you're left with only two possibilities --

1) Bill Parcells, Roy Williams, Aaron Glenn and "everybody at Valley Ranch" all lied and/or don't know what they're talking about.

OR

2) You're wrong, and everything you have posted is wrong.

So which is it? 1 or 2?

DMN Blog: Bigger, Stronger, Faster


by Kevin Burnett

In the 3-4 you must have versatile players who can do a lot. Lineman have to be bigger, linebackers have to be stronger at the point of attack being the line of scrimmage. Speed is always a factor in this game so that goes without saying. Your D-line has to be bigger in order to play off double teams and a hair faster than usual due to the amount of space they have to cover. Linebackers' being bigger allows them to be able to deliver a blow and shock uncovered lineman as they come off of a double team. A faster personnel allows the entire defense to be in position to attack ball carriers on every play.

The biggest key to the 3-4 is PENETRATION. Your nose guard has to play like his hair is on fire every down of every game or else you lose. As most things that work from the inside out without a solid foundation (nose) you are in hot water. The nose is asked to do two things predominately. One take up two blockers and two make the ball carrier commit before he wants to. Here is a good rule of thumb for good nose play. If he doesn't take up two blockers he has to make the play. Why? The nose gets double teamed every play period. If he lets either guard or the center straight up to the second level its imperative that he makes the play. An offenses goal on a running play is to cut off the defense and let the running back find the hole. Cut off meaning stop the flow of the defense or change pursuit angles. So if a guard or the center gets to the second level cutting off the backside linebacker trouble is soon to follow. If you guys are having a hard time following me I will try to do a video blog to help you understand.

When the defense gets cuts off this also means a safety has to make a one on one tackle or slow do the ball carrier to allow pursuit to arrive. Having a safety that can make a one on one tackle (one of the hardest things to do in football) in the open field is rarity, this is what makes Roy so good. Roy plays exceptionally well in the box with a 3-4 this creates 5-3 vs the run. With a 5-3 look someone inside the box cannot be accounted for. The person they cannot account for is most of the time is the safety. Also with a safety coming down into the box, everyone must be on the same page as far as where we want the ball to go. Do we want the ball to go inside, outside are we trying to stop the play in the backfield or do we just want them to punt the football?

What you readers and fans don't get enough of is real insight. Ron Jaworski (Jaws) and Merrill Hodge do an exceptional job at breaking down film and giving fans facts. Some of these other Clowns don't know left from RIGHT.

Rookies

F. Jones will be a nice change of pace, has nice wiggle through the line and after the catch. Should give average backers hard times in coverage.

Jenkins probably the most game ready of the group, great cover skills has to learn some of the trick of the trade but will be a very good player.

T. Choice will also make his presence felt carrying the ball, should get a chance to show what he can do on special teams.

AdamJT13,

I'll concede Dallas played some quarters coverage. I didn't know they played it, but Zimmer played a ton of cover 2 and showed cover 2 and rolled Roy up to a 'rover' position and went into a cover 3 shell. They did this in 2005 due to Williams' suspect play in cover 2, and it allowed him to play underneath routes. (ex. McNabb pick six) If Williams wasn't suspect in cover 2, why would the coaches try to llimit his coverage responsibilities?

On the 49ers play when you demonstrated that Dallas was in quarters, the linebacker passes the inside receiver off to Williams, and the linebacker doesn't sink into the deep middle like the linebacker does on the first Moss TD. In cover 2, that linebacker is going to sink deeper into the middle in order to protect the soft spot in the middle, between the two deep safeties. Williams has to cover the inside guy on the 49ers play. The guy is in space, and he has to be accouted for. I agree about Williams' assignment there. One linebacker releases the inside receiver to Wiliams to take.

However, it is the opposite on the first TD to Moss. Two guys cover the TE underneath. When Newman passes him off to the inside linebacker, the linebacker has him covered in the deep middle. He is covered, so why would Williams not be responsible for reading Moss? Again, it is clear on the clip where the ball is going, and it is clear that the TE is covered before Brunell releases the ball. Cooley was never open. Also, Moss clearly states that the Dallas "safeties" were being targeted on the plays. (see the quotes; they played in the game) Brunell talks about being "fortunate" to get behind the safeties.

If both coverages were quarters like you say, why is Keith Davis called out by Parcells for biting on an inside receiver and not helping Henry deep, but Williams gets a pass for biting on a well covered Cooley (an inside receiver) on the inside and not helping out Glenn? One safety has to read and react to two receivers, but one (Williams) doesn't have to against Washington in the same defense. That makes no sense to me.

Parcells called out Davis for peaking inside and not covering over the top, but he gives Williams a free pass, in public, for doing the same thing in the same quarters defense on the other side. I'm still not buying it. Look at Moss' and Brunells' comments. They played in the game.

That second Moss TD looks like cover 2 for sure. I don't know what Parcells called it, but it could pass for cover 2, easy. The first one looks like it has cover 2 concepts and could be sold as such. The Commanders attacked the exact areas where cover two is soft. One reason Glenn played inside technique was to cut the corner route off for Moss.

Where is the link to where Roy said those Moss plays were not his plays. I have heard him say this, but I never read or heard him say this about the Moss plays. I have only seen him take his share of the blame, especially the first one.

 

[28 Joker]

Also, we disagreed on the Jeramy Stevens 37 yard TD in the playoffs. You say that was mostly Bradie James' fault. However, Bradie James told the DMN (link in last debate) that Dallas was in cover 2 on that play, and he thought he had safety help behind him. He took his share of the blame.

That tells me in Zimmer's cover 2, the SS (Williams) has to read two receivers (the outside receiver attacking the CB on his side and (most of the time) the TE running inside).

On that play, Williams is paying too much attention to Newman's receiver, who is covered like a blanket, and he isn't paying enough attention to the TE who is smoking his underneath coverage. As a result, he gets caught out of position. He is cheating towards Newman too much, and he is out of position and too slow to recover to get to a streaking Stevens, headed towards the endzone.

Bradie James struggled in underneath coverage in December of 2006, because Parcells had him too heavy. (By the way, he answered the bell and had a very good year for Dallas.)Teams were exposing James and Williams in coverage. They completed passes between them during that month. Schoebel caught a 25 yard TD right between them.

Williams should have known the TE was a threat to his deep third or half and payed more attention to him on that play. Reid attacked James and Williams. Payton did it. You know Holmgren would do it, and he did.

This play, like the Moss plays, is just another example of Williams not reading and reacting to the most dangerous threat on a given play. Newman is one of the best players in the league, so Roy should have been in the mindset of negating Stevens, the TE. Newman was his best friend on the play, and he didn't use him to cheat on the TE. Instead, he cheated towards Newman, and Newman had things under control while Bradie had been getting beaten underneath repeatedly. That is poor instincts and a suspect mental approach to the game. Bradie James had no shot at running with Stevens all the way to the deep half where the safeties live in cover 2.

 

[AdamJT13]

However, it is the opposite on the first TD to Moss. Two guys cover the TE underneath. When Newman passes him off to the inside linebacker, the linebacker has him covered in the deep middle. He is covered, so why would Williams not be responsible for reading Moss? Again, it is clear on the clip where the ball is going, and it is clear that the TE is covered before Brunell releases the ball. Cooley was never open.

It's quarters coverage. Newman bumps Cooley, then releases him and drops into his zone on the left side, out by the numbers and nowhere close to Cooley. Nguyen drops into his zone in the middle and is watching the quarterback as Cooley runs past him -- he's not covering Cooley, he's playing his zone. If the quarterback throws the ball to Cooley deep over the middle, Nguyen would be beaten by 10 yards.

Also, Moss clearly states that the Dallas "safeties" were being targeted on the plays. (see the quotes; they played in the game) Brunell talks about being "fortunate" to get behind the safeties.

Do Moss and Brunell know the Cowboys' defensive calls better than Parcells, Glenn, Roy Williams and "everybody at Valley Ranch"?

If both coverages were quarters like you say, why is Keith Davis called out by Parcells for biting on an inside receiver and not helping Henry deep, but Williams gets a pass for biting on a well covered Cooley (an inside receiver) on the inside and not helping out Glenn? One safety has to read and react to two receivers, but one (Williams) doesn't have to against Washington in the same defense. That makes no sense to me.

Have you read (and understood) NOTHING about quarters coverage? The safety reads the inside receiver on his side and covers him if he runs a vertical route.

On the Lloyd play against the 49ers, Davis' inside receiver to read was the running back. He did not run a vertical route, which meant Davis then should have doubled the outside receiver, Lloyd. On the Moss plays, Roy's inside receiver to read was Cooley. If Cooley ran a vertical route, Roy HAD to cover him instead of doubling Moss.

THAT is why Parcells said Davis blew his assignment and Roy did not. THAT is why Roy said those weren't his plays. THAT is why Glenn said he was to blame, not Roy. And THAT is why "everybody at Valley Ranch" said Roy wasn't responsible for Moss.

Parcells called out Davis for peaking inside and not covering over the top, but he gives Williams a free pass, in public, for doing the same thing in the same quarters defense on the other side. I'm still not buying it.

So, you firmly believe that Bill Parcells, Roy Williams, Aaron Glenn and "everybody at Valley Ranch" are ALL lying? Simply because you cannot recognize quarters coverage?

Where is the link to where Roy said those Moss plays were not his plays. I have heard him say this, but I never read or heard him say this about the Moss plays. I have only seen him take his share of the blame, especially the first one.

Do you not even read threads before you post?

Bradie James had no shot at running with Stevens all the way to the deep half where the safeties live in cover 2.

The whole discussion is ultimately about a player reacting to a situation, 'irrespective' of the play-call... You won't necessarily win an argument about what play is called, but you can pretty much argue that Roy shouldn't have worried about Cooley, because there was good coverage on him. Adam argues that Nyugen was playing the zone, not the player, although playing the zone means playing the player when he comes in your zone. Your arguing Roy should have adjusted his coverage because Cooley was blanketed, looked at the QB going for Santana Moss, and then helping in coverage especially after the first TD from Moss. This, coupled by the fact, the Commanders were already attacking the deep secondary.

That is exactly what the quotes from the Commander players tell you about. The safeties were fixed in their positions, being overly aggressive to the TEs, which allowed Moss to get easily behind the safeties. The Commanders looked at the tendencies, and the Cowboys didn't and the key point is, Cowboys 'scheme' didn't matter. You had Moss on Glenn one-on-one if Roy wasn't suppose to help in that situaton, and Glenn was already beaten by Moss before. AN old Glenn at that, against the deep threat that is Moss.. Brunell and Moss exploited the tendency of Glenn and Roy to not react to the situation. SO whether Moss knew the play call better than Parcells or not, he surely scored against that play-call knowing the tendencies, meaning he won out and Parcells didn't.

This leads us to the stubborness of Bill, who pretty much has his own philosophy of adapting to his system... And that is part of the reason Bill sucks when it comes to teams playing him the second time around...

Players have to look at the tendencies and this is more about instinct and the mental aspect of the game.

[Doomsdayblitz]

One thing's for sure: either #38/31 will play close to his pay this year or not. If not, a decision will probably be made around this time next year. It probably won't stop the debate, but at least we'll get some closure.

I like the fact that Campo said he was going to dedicate this year to making RW better than he's ever been, (or something like that). RW is a fine athlete, but you have to keep things simple for him, or he gets confused. Just like TNew said about RW getting a "Deer in the headlights" condition, and doesn't respond in time to recover once he finally decides to commit.

I'm hoping that this year they will give him one side of the field & Hamlin the other. I saw footage where RW had to decide to either take the man on the right or left. When he finally saw that the man on his left was getting the ball, it was too late. And, of course, that has happened quite a bit with him.

Like KB said, Williams is one of the best "in the box" players in the NFL. I think with his size & power, they should either just put him on one side of the coverage, or make him an extra LB, covering RBs & TEs coming out of the backfield, or blitzing the QB. He is an excellent pass rusher, and isn't used in that capacity nearly enough.

AdamJT13,

I apologize for missing the quote. I saw the part about Roy doing a 180 on his blame in the play like you pointed out. However, I saw this as well in that article. Look at what Williams says before he says what you pulled out of the interviews:

""They called two plays against the coverage that honestly put me in a bind where I'm basically on two people at one time"

Roy Williams

Williams is talking out of three sides of his mouth now. First, you have him taking total blame for the 39 yarder (the first one) after the game. He states that he should have read it faster, taken the proper angle, and knocked the ball down.

Secondly, Williams states that honestly the Commanders put him in a bind where he was basically on two people at one time.

(I saw another Moss quote where Moss talked about putting the aggressive Dallas safeties in a bind. This reflects Williams statement about being on two people at one time.) The Skins targeted the safeties. A safety has to read it fast and correctly, like Parcells demanded of Keith Davis in public, and make the right choice or you get burned.

If he didn't have any responsibility on the Moss TDs, especially the first one, why did he take the outright blame after the game, and then, right before he says "they weren't his plays", he says that "he was basically on two people at one time". How can you be on two people if only one is your guy? If it isn't your fault, just say it. If he was on two people on the first TD, like Zimmer's cover 2 required of him on certain plays, then he made a poor chioce about which guy to take, because Cooley was clearly covered all the way. Williams has to see this and react or adjust his play. He can't let "the coverage" hold him hostage.

He is the guy on the field, and he should have seen Cooley was covered and trusted that coverage more. Newman did an outstanding job of jamming Cooley and making sure he didn't get the seam on Williams. He forced him right to the linebacker waiting in the deep soft area of the two deep zone.

If Moss isn't part of your responsibility, why would Roy say he was basically on two people at one time? This contradicts his third statement about the plays not being his. If Moss isn't your guy, you can't be on two people at one time. (Again, tell us the truth to start with. Now, you have him contradicing himself three times on two different interviews. What is a person suppossed to believe?)

That goes to the heart of his problem in deep coverage under Parcells, Williams wasn't able to read and react fast in deep patrol and pick out the biggest threat to him. As a result, Williams blamed Parcells for not using him correctly. Phillips came in and played Watkins deep and put Roy at nickel linebacker and played him at the line like he wanted, and Williams didn't make the impact plays he was suppossed to make. Furthermore, he had some breakdowns in the run game by playing soft and looking hesitant on the field.

As for what Parcells said about it:

"It wasn't really his play", with an emphasis on 'really'. Why not just say that is wasn't his play at all, point blank. Instead, Parcells leaves open a little gray area here with the word 'really'.

Parcells controlled what he wanted to come out of Valley Ranch. He wouldn't let the coaches talk for a reason. Perhaps, he is just trying to protect a very sensitive player's psyche or protecting his young star player at the time.

I sure wish he would have defended Flozell Adams on the holding call in the same game, because it clearly wasn't a hold, but Parcells didn't defend Adams at all.

I wonder if he would have gone out of his way to protect Roy if he knew Roy would throw him under the bus after he left.

Again, Keith Davis gets called out by Parcells for biting on an inside route and not helping Henry over the top, and Roy gets a pass on biting on a covered Cooley and helping Moss get over the top of Glenn two times. You say it was the same scheme or coverage.

Why the double standard by Parcells when it comes to Davis and Williams. Spagnola wrote about the same thing.

Finally, don't call me a liar. I am debating a position held by most of the mainstream football media.

If you want to call me not informed, fine.

Very good post and thoughts. Excellent job.

 

[khiladi]

Very good post and thoughts. Excellent job.

It doesn't surprise me one bit that Roy would double-talk after the incident. It is clear that he knew he could have done something to stop Moss and that is why he flat out admitted it after the game. After thinking about it, he found he had an excuse so he, as his ego always does, tries to make himself out to look like a hero.

""Honestly those weren't my plays, but yeah, I took it upon myself to say that's my fault," Williams said.

You took it upon yourself to say that you were confused on who to take because they flooded your zone, and before that, it was that you didn't react quick enough. I would think, when your taking it upon yourself, you don't give contradictory statements.

"It wasn't really his play", with an emphasis on 'really'. Why not just say that is wasn't his play at all, point blank. Instead, Parcells leaves open a little gray area here with the word 'really'.

I noticed the exact same thing, but I left it at that. He could have flat-out said it wasn't his play, but he gave it a rather interesting take. And if people will think that I hold the opinion that BP is a liar, damn straight I do. And Roy isn't that great of a speaker himself, as is obvious.

I never said you were a liar. But you're calling Bill Parcells, Roy Williams, Aaron Glenn and "everybody at Valley Ranch" liars.

You keep saying you don't understand why Roy would say this, or why Bill would say that, or why Glenn would say this, or why everybody at Valley Ranch would say that.

Well, if you understood the coverage, the answers would be obvious. You simply refuse to believe the obvious because you want to blame someone who wasn't at fault.

Carry on.
