This is like shooting fish in a barrel.

I know Hamlin's doing fine. I said it.

I believe that we'd be just as fine moving Roy out, sliding Hamlin over, and putting Watkins in - you remember him, the guy with as many INTs as your precious Roy.

LOL, are you seriously counting the INT he had this week? that was a desperation pass in the final seconds of the game

Good thing you're not the coach.

Yeah, let's go ahead and play him in deep coverage. Surely, he'll be great in that role.

To answer the original post, I think they should move Hamlin over and put Watkins in at FS.

I'm just a fan of the Boys, like you, but I can't even debate anymore. You guys refuse to be open, so I'm done.

As I've said, in my opinion, Roy is the weak link on our defense, and now, it appears, the league's onto Roy. Eli flat out admitted that they game planned to attack him —*didn't say that about anyone else on our team. The Giants staff and he, as a starting QB, have watched more film on the Cowboys than anyone on this board, so if they saw it, they must be onto something.

he was fine in it last year until they played it a ridiculous amount of times w/ no semblence of a pass-rush

one of the 1st things DC Brian Stewart said upon arriving here was to scoff at how many times we put our safeties out in deep, cover-2

Wow .... I go out to eat, come back and everyone is taking shots at the silly agenda boy.

Just remember Roy sucking is a state of mind .... you are not allowed to look at stats ..... compare him to other safeties. .... or listen to his coaches .... you just have to believe he is no good with all your heart. ;)

no, its an excuse by the Roy apologists. when you're defending Roy nobody says you have an agenda. but when people point out Roy making a mistake, they just happen to have an agenda.

Roy gets trashed because he was a high first round pick, a pro bowl ss, making top safety money who plays like an average safety when you look at his overall game. Dallas should cut ties with him first opportunity and add some coverage ability at the safety position because Hamlin isn't great in coverage either.

Thats because people who defend Roy do not start 3 threads about him each week ..... You guys are the ones who are obsessed .... hence you are the agenda boys.

Get it?

Lets tell the real story here.

The biggest weakness of the defense is the coverage abilities of our safeties. Our D line is looking very strong and I really like our LB core although Akin is no better than solid.

Neither Roy nor Hamlin, for that matter, would be considered 'good' incoverage. This is known and well discussed around the league.

Roy doesn't suck, he isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread either. I do think though Roy has slowed a bit and is playing tentative because his 'weak coverage skills' have gotten in his head. Also, with his body type and general motivation, I personally think he has 2-3 years left of being a 'pretty good' player, which is what I think he is. So if I were JJones, I would definitely start thinking about replacing Roy over the next 1-3 yrs.

people start threads and than the Roy apologists take it over. nobody is obsessed expect you Roy defenders. people make threads to talk about a former 8th overall pick playing like an average at best safety. than you guys come in and say how Roy shouldn't be asked to cover a wr.........or a TE.........or a rb. he's just too good at stopping the run to do that other stuff

Our biggest weakness on defense so far has been our inability to keep both starting corners healthy.

Anyone can look at the threads and see that no one is "picking" on you kid.

You boys start crying and complaining with nothing to back up your silly agenda .... and get upset when we come in and dissect your arguments.

But keep trying.

anyone see the hit roy placed on jacobs in the second half. since jacobs is so huge it didnt really look that bad.. but he snaped jacobs head straight back. he didnt seem to effective after that like he had lost his confidence. along with the defensive adjustments . yet sometimes thats impact enough taking people out of games with big hits, messing with heads ect ect . if he had hit westbrook or someone like that the hit wouldve been a highlight reel play.

when you have nothing to bring to the discussion you say we have an agenda. like you just did. for an 8th overall pick he should not be the weakest link in our secondary other than nate jones. now instead of saying you disagree because....... you will just say i have an agenda. i get it:thumbup:
