Parcells couldn't figure this out?

[Holloway805]

Wade Phillips is bringing Roy Williams closer to the LOS in certain packages to best suit his skill set, creating havoc in the backfield. In turn this decreases his coverage responsibilities which is a weakness of his. How is it that Parcells couldn't figure this out? And if he did, it certainly didn't show on the field. Heres to RW being a beast this year.

I think it's highly likely w/ Ken Hamlin back there now. I cant wait to see this team in action.

Its about time.......woo hoo.

He also couldn't figure out the they needed a quarterback until the last 10 games of last season, but who's keepin' score.

He never figured out Seattle's secondary was decimated in the playoffs.

Yep that too, that means he didn't know how to use the QB that he finally figured out he needed.

Did you just black out all the articles about playing Roy in the exact same position Wade is talking about playing him in from last training camp? They ran it in practice. Turns out our other safeties are too inept to allow that to happen.

Hopefully Hamlin allows us this flexibility.

We had packages last year with Roy lined up at LB. Problem is, when you line Roy up at LB, you're removing your BEST COVER SAFETY from the defensive backfield. Seems kind of STUPID to do so, doesn't it?

Isn't that the sad freakin' truth. As much as we got torched, Roy was the only safety that had a chance to make a play on the ball or the receiver. Let's not forget, he did force 7 turnovers last year too.

Then we should have taken a better coverage FS when we had the chance last year. Fasano is ok but I still feel we would have gotten MUCH better value but drafting Ko Simpson FS, who was a much better prospect than Pat Watkins was. Dallas could have gotten a guy to do what Fasano does later in the draft...say round 5 when Watkins was drafted.

I think Fasano will produce well for the team this year but you gotta question the decision by Parcells to take Fasano in the 2nd round as part of a 2 TE offense they planned to use to take pressure off of Bledsoe. We never did use that formation cause Fasano wasn't ready for it, etc.

At minimum we could have used that Fasano pick to add a good OL or a FS who might have been able to produce right away. Don't get me wrong, I like Watkins and he was the FS I wanted us to draft in 06 so was delighted when we got him in the 5th. I still believe that Watkins, particularly with the opportunity to study behind Hamlin, will greatly improve this year and hopefully wins the job before the end of this season--although I also want Hamlin to play well also.

That's scary.

The H-back role is already playing a prominent role in this offense. Fasano is going to see the field plenty. Perhaps more than just about any 2nd round pick we've had in the past 10 years. I wouldn't worry about that pick.

Flozell Adams - 1998
Andre Gurode - 2002
Julius Jones - 2004

I doubt he plays more than those three guys still on the team. I expect he'll play about as much as Burnett.

If that was the case, I'll still blame Parcells.

In this case for not upgrading the safety position when he had plenty of opportunities.

By the way Rack, congrats on the resto project, the car looks great.

Parcells did the right thing in the playoff game. Romo was all over the place in the game and the best thing to do was to run the ball. If anyone takes the blame for not attacking the pass D it is Romo...he was too keyed up and was a mistake waiting to happen.

Yep, we inexplicably ignored it for literally years. We knew Woody was finished in 2004 and we never tried to improve the position.

And BTW, agree on the car. I can't imagine a more fitting license plate, either.

Quoted for truth.

Watkins had 3 INTs last year. I don't think any other safety on the team other than Roy and Watkins has had an interception since Woodson was playing in 2003. Much of it is pass rush, but a lot is a lack of talent back in the secondary as well. Keith Davis is lousy at controlling his zone, matching up in man or playing the ball in the air. Sadly he is actually better than other safeties that have been back there for Dallas the last few years such as Scott and Dixon.
