FWST Blog: SS Roy Williams returns

The Other Roy Returns

Given the amount of fun the Cowboys have had this week, it's pretty easy to forget that Roy Williams is returning. In an effort to distinguish one Roy from the other Roy, I'll go with Boomer Sooner Roy and Bevo Roy.

Boomer Sooner Roy plans to play this weekend for the first time since he broke his forearm in a win against the Eagles in Week 2. It's fashionable to kill Boomer Sooner Roy for his pass coverage skills, but there is a reason he is the starter. At the very least he should help in run defense. He said he plans to wear a protective brace on the forearm.

I asked him if the brace will hinder him in any way and he said, "It feels good."

Take that to mean yes.

“The only other time I’ve been hurt and missed a game was my junior year of high school,” Williams said. “This was horrible (not to be able to play); not to be out there and help the team. I wouldn’t wish it on anybody. Or not anybody who is competitive and wants to play. … You’re sitting there watching a game and you feel like, ‘Maybe if I was in there it would have been different.’”

No guarantees this Boomer Sooner Roy makes the difference between a win or a loss, but it's safe to say he's better than Pat Watkins or Courtney Browne at strong safety.

Better than Keith Davis too.

 

[DallasFanSince86]

Better than Keith Davis too.

You got that right.

 

[EMMITTnROY]

Better than Keith Davis too.

Roy > Hamlin > Watkins > Davis > Brown

Let's not kid ourselves-the last couple of weeks, we've been ailing in the secondary.

The more bodies we get back, the better.

BTW-Watkins just isn't physical enough to play SS. Going up against a physical Commanders team that loves to run the football, I wasn't surprised he got dinged up.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

I am glad to have Roy 38 back

 

[EPL0c0]

Hopefully he'll come back with a new angry, hungry attitude...

Hopefully he won't get beat and have the "boot roy" folks going again (me included). MAN i want him to prove me wrong so bad...I want him to be *THE* Roy Williams

i wish like hell that the old roy would please stand up and do that amani toomer knockout.

it ain't going to happen though...

he's found religion or something..

the roy we used to love is gone forever..

if i'm proven wrong.....i will run naked through the streets much to the delight of my fellow citizens............assuming it is not too terrible cold that night.

Agreed. He isn't the same player he used to be. It's sad that the return of this yearly "Pro Bowler" doesn't really make a difference.

whether he ever returns to 2002-2005 form is a legit concern, but there's no doubt he is eons better than Watkins, Davis and Brown

so it does make a difference

38 will help a great deal in our run defense. That 3rd and 17 against the Cards would've never happened with 38 in the game. I'm glad he's back!!
