Roy Just Doesn't Make Plays In Coverage--The Dropped INT Was The Killer...

[Rack]

It doesn't help when your own teammate (Henry) comes in and lays the smack down on you while you're trying to catch it.

Roy dropped the int before Henry touched him.

he would have had the pick had it not been for Henry, who ran into him

The ball was through his hands before Henry hit him. Go rewatch it.

Roy had contain...Glenn got beat..Thank them both

Roy had deep coverage responsibility on BOTh plays. When you are the SAFETY and you have deep coverage you don't let the WR get behind you. Roy did it twice. And it was the same freakin' play. I'd expect that kind of screwup from a rookie, not a 4 year veteran.

Roy should have been standing at the goaline on 4th and 15.

He was 2 yards INSIDE the first down line. He should of been 2-3 yards OUTSIDE the first down line. Those 4-5 yards would of made the difference on that 4th down play.

Everyone just got spoiled here by Darren Woodson. Strong Safeties just don't go toe to toe with speed guys.

So he should of been deeper before the snap anyway. If it's 4th and 15, why are you lined up 12 yards from the ball?

Now you know why Roy is not a WR.

It's not like he was lined up on Moss 1v1. His ONLY responsibility on those two plays is to not get beat DEEP. Heck, even on the potential INT, he was playing catch up with the WR.

Because that was how the defense was designed. Duh!
