LaRon Landry calls Roy Williams scared

[Dawgs0916]

Reason why I ask is because I never hear anything from the opposing team when they win. But when they lose they all of a sudden want to expose the Cowboys. Roy is this. Romo is that. I've heard it before.

The thing is, when you win, you talk about what your team did well, etc.

When you lose, there's some bitterness, yes. But in this situation, his bitterness are not lies. Roy is scared of getting hit, it looks like.

I didn't check out which Commanders DB failed, exactly - but I would argue that we won precisely because the Commanders DBs failed with the game on the line, even though they had held tough up to that point.

Romo scrambled and bought time - no DB can stick forever, and if a QB has enough time to throw he will eventually find someone. The most you can expect of DB's is to stick to their man through the original route, and if things go into a scramble after that anything the DB can do to hang is gravy. The pass rush has to keep a QB from going through all the progressions and then going back to a receiver again after he has started improvising.

hey,,, if it's the ribs then get him off the friggin field until his ribs are healed, problem solved!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Everlastingxxx]

He is the problem. Everyone wants to make Witten or other guys on the team contribute MORE. Roy Williams does nothing, he does not contribute to this offense. He has alligator arms, can’t catch, runs bad routes, slow, doesn’t attack the ball, fumbles and throws his QB under the bus. I am beyond sick of this loser. I can’t even watch his interviews any longer.

Wait, LaRon Landry played yesterday?

Oh, that's right, he was the guy making tackles after all of those 9-yard runs.

Landry is a big hitter, but he's not having a good year. Landry is part of the reason the Skins stink. Last year he played like a probowler; this year he's missing tackles and was roundly cajoled by the announcers during the Atlanta game...he was absolutely awful. And he keeps giving up the deep pass.

Lots of talent, and right now, this year, just lots of hot air.

Roy Williams had cracked ribs, thanks to a high Romo pass; he's playing, but anyone who thinks cracked ribs simply calcify and heal up in a few weeks is dead wrong. He'll go across the middle, but if he has to go up for Romo's high balls, I'm certain he's going to be aware of who's in the area...any receiver with broken ribs would be.

Landry went south after Sean Taylor died. He relied a lot on Taylor helping to cover up for him. They were good together but he is very average without him, IMO.

That and the pressures getting to him.

I think hed rather go back to being the big fish in the little pond

Only thing about that theory is that he wasn't even the big fish in the little pond anymore. Calvin Johnson arrived and showed him what a real WR is. Why we rescued him from that situation, I'll never know. At this point even Chris Chambers looks closer to the guy we needed than RW does.


I'm going to hold out hope that the guy actually gets it for a few games and actually makes a play when it matters. If he continues at this pace through the end of the season I think the decision to part ways is an even easier decision than T.O. decision ever was. Maybe we can convince the Lions to take him back for a 3rd.

Lo, Jerry will never fold his hand and admit he made a mistake. We'll see atleast two more years of this before Jerry finally calls it a day with RW.

We beat their secondary repeatedly on that final drive. Not sure what your debating. Austin turned hall around 3 times on that drive on both sides of the field.

Sounds a lot like Bradie James oops.

Sorta like the other Roy Williams and Darren Woodson.

When Woodson was forced to retire, Sooner Roy wasn't the same.

Well I don't know what Roy is. He's making an assumption. Roy took some hits yesterday so I don't know where the fear is at. I know a couple of weeks ago he ran out of bounds before getting hit. But yesterday? He took the contact. He just didn't make the catches. Whether that's fear or just bad throws? I'd go with the latter. Roy's gotta make the catches. Seems like a sore loser to me. I didn't hear the Cowboys calling anyone out when they lost to the Packers, Giants or Bronco's.

Exactly.

Though I will say that was also about the time we started making the switch to the 3-4 and Roy's job description changed and he was able to adapt.

Good comparison. Landry was a beast his rookie year, but now is hated by Skins fans as much as post-contract Roy was here.

 

[Maikeru-sama]

And what if they won? Would it be any more or less valid of an allegation?

 

[Boyzmamacita]

At least their WR's caught balls.

They didn't sniff the end zone. I see no reason to side with a Commanders player on anything. Ever. Even if he's right. It's just sour grapes.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Sounds a lot like Bradie James oops.

Whoa what? Bradie James had a couple of tackles behind the line of scrimmage yesterday. Most notably that Betts injury. He's the one who made that.

 

[Eldorado]

One word: Scoreboarddddddddddd.

Look, it's fine for me to pick on my little brother. But when a bully comes by and picks on him? Watch out.

 

[Kevinicus]

What a great picture. Further enforces my opinion.

It doesn't really. That picture is after Roy got his hands on the ball initially (with a pretty damn good effort btw) and it went off his fingers. He had a chance to grab the ball again, as seen in the picture, though not as good of a chance because he was going in a direction away from where the ball was going. His head is turned because he was following the ball, as he should.

What's your point? Roy Williams was dropping balls that their WR's were catching. Williams just isn't good, at all.

Looks to me more like his head is starting to turn down, not up at the ball, and his palms are almost on it. How far could the ball be going "in another direction" at this point?

I'd have to see the replay again, but I remember when I saw it in real time I thought he had pulled his head away to look for the hit, and this picture reinforces it to me.
