Here's what I want out of Roy... I want Roy Williams to dwarf Tony Dixon's big play numbers, free safety or no free safety. I don't think that's too much to ask for a Top 10 pick. I do think Roy can be a liability in coverage, but in a round about way so does everyone who acts like its a slap in his face that he be asked to cover a deep zone from time to time. That's what safeties do. He's not a linebacker. He's a safety.
When he's allowed to play up in the box and freelance like a linebacker its only because someone else in the secondary is having to pick up his slack and take on a more responsibility and cover more ground. And thusly, they get all the blame when passes are completed, not Roy. Its quite a luxory for Roy that many safeties aren't afforded with. He's really burdened with very little responsibility and he needs to be scrutinized as such. Pretty good isn't good enough when other people are sacrificing and taking all the heat to put Roy in position to have all the glory.
