you seriously saying he plays 1/3 of the game? Because you are I can not respond anymore. My mother taught me it is not nice to pick on the mentally challenged

If you spoke the King's English better then I for one would take that crack more seriously. I wouldn't call anyone mentally challenged when you don't know the difference between 'or and are'.

You people who jump on others for criticism of Roy are starting to look pitiful.

For God's sake. Just the fact you are having to come to his 'rescue' is damning enough.

I know. Let's spend our two number ones for a top ten draft choice, say number eight, and draft us another strong safety for millions a year then sit him on passing downs. That's sounds great doesn't it. Then we'd have two great strong safeties on our team.

This bashing of people who 'bash' Roy by merely stating the obvious is pathetic and ridiculous. You people nit pick saying show us an example when everyone in the entire nation that knows FB knows Roy can't cover worth a crap.

Get a life. When Roy starts playing like he did his first couple of years then I'll jump back on the bandwagon. Until then I'll treat him like any other average safety. Actually he's above average but his inability to cover has put a bullseye on him. Just as fairly as any other 'star' player who plays beneath expectations.

Now because I've dared to say the truth....Roy is a liability in coverage...I am a Roy hater, basher, can't appreciate the fact we are 11-1, yada yada yada.

I've been a Cowboys fan since 1964 and love this team as much as any fan. However, a rose is a rose yada yada. I don't hate Roy. I hate we spent an 8th round choice on a player who is a liability in coverage to the degree he has to be replaced by players such as Watkins. And I don't like paying that kind of money for a safety that has to ride the bench that much.

We can thank Hamlin for that. He made a weak attempt at grabbing Grant's ankles and then proceeded to knock Roy out of the play.

Actually, they both were out of position. Grant avoided I believe 2 lineman, and a LB before getting to the safeties. That was just a messed up play overall.

They didn't react too slow. It was third-and-1, and they were both crashing toward the line of scrimmage. The problem was that Grant got through a pile-up at the line without even being touched. The safeties see a crowd of people and rush toward it thinking someone has Grant in the middle of that, but instead, he was running full speed right through it.

There's a reason that a lot of short-yardage runs break for long touchdowns.


Coach to safeties: Why didn't one of you guys make a tackle on Grant.

Safeties: look at each other stupidly then....Well you see coach we saw all those people in a pile so we thought we go over there and well you know...pile on and make sure he was tackled good. You know coach. Everyone does it.

LMAO. They both looked like idiots on that play. There is no excuse for both of them to fall over each other nor make a play. They are safeties. In their defense they may have been positioned too close to the LOS by their coaches. That's the only excuse I can think of. Other than the fact Grant is pretty rapid and ran by their collective ***** before they could react.

Yes!

and then stripped him off the ball....

ran it back for the TD.

Then intercept 3 passes.

cure cancer.

lower the national debt.

then, and only then... "MAYBE", he will be worth what jobberone is paying him!

You must think shouting makes you right. Viewing your other posts makes me think you shout a lot. Do you have trouble with people ignoring you? Or do you just go out of your way to pick fights?

What problem do you have with my overpaying Roy? Or complaining about it? How does that piss you off?

Unless you're Jerry Jones... you're not overpaying him.

I just singled out your statement in the sea of others like it.

Been a long night, and felt like doing a little complaining of my own and being sarcastic about it as well.

If complaining makes you feel better about Roy Williams... more power to you.

The only time I ever saw Roy get owned in the running game, came in that preseason game against the Titans, when Chris Brown stiff armed him to the ground and scored a TD.....but since it was preseason, it didn't count.

This stuff never gets old.

Roy should have tackled EVERYONE.

All 21 players on the field... and then afterwards he could have hit himself!

I've seen it many times.

The front 7 looked awful.

Hamlin comes flying in, goes low gets stepped over and takes out RW.

Big deal... even if RW was in Hamlin's shoes I wouldn't sit here and bad mouth him because of 1 missed tackle.

Damn... RW gets bashed on for coverage plays and now he gets bashed on for a run play.

You people expect entirely too much out of 1 man.

There are 11 players on the field.

It isn't the major point but it's one reason people are upset over Roy. If he hadn't been an eighth overall pick and making millions a year then his play wouldn't be as big an issue. You'd just replace him and no one would say as much.

Your apology is accepted. :p: and :D

Correction... if it was ANYONE else in place of RW this would be a non-issue to the "mob."

But since it was #31 lets bring out the torches and pitch forks.
