Roy should decline the invite

No we won't - in fact we will recall him being made a LB in 07' - Roy is so bad ion coverage he should be moved to the Bill bates roll on 3rd and long - right in the middle close to the LOS to watch Draw or Slant.

Anyone who thinks Roy can cover is either, in denial, ignorant, just started watching football or his cousin.

Roy couldn't cover the fat kid down the street.


:bang2::bang2::bang2:

Roy is a strong safety with 5 take aways ........

Anyone who thinks its the strong safety's job to cover a Wideout is ignorant.

You think Bradie James can cover anyone?

He might as well be Jerimiah Trotter.


Going back to the topic though NO ONE ever complained about RW before this year and specifically the 2 "bad" games he had.

Were you around here last season talking about this?

Or are you just some fair-weather-bandwagon fan?
Last year? did you say last year?

Cowboys' Williams Overrated


Getty Images


Cowboys safety Roy Williams is one of the most overrated defensive players in the NFL. Calling the two-time Pro Bowler overrated has been fashionable of late, but it was more clear than ever during Monday night's 14-13 loss to the Commanders.

ABC announcers John Madden and Al Michaels were too busy working on Williams' Hall of Fame induction speech to notice Dallas' hold on the game was slipping late in the fourth quarter. The announcers were justifiably awed by Williams' sack of Commanders quarterback Mark Brunell. But I think Williams buys into the hype about his ability to make big plays (read: big hits) and doesn't concentrate on being a defensive back and play cautious when he has to. Out of desperation late in the game, the Commanders started taking shots downfield and their receivers were getting behind Williams and the Cowboys' defenders, who clearly didn't think Brunell could beat them deep.

With just over four minutes left, Brunell lofted a bomb downfield to Taylor Jacobs that Williams knocked down in the end zone. Madden and Michaels went nuts over the play, until they realized the ball went right through Williams' hands and could have easily been picked off. You can't criticize Williams for not getting the interception, but you have to rip him for letting Santana Moss beat him for 39- and 70-yard touchdowns in the final minutes of the game even though the Cowboys were in prevent mode.

This season has been a showcase for elite safeties. Troy Polamalu, Mike Brown and Brian Dawkins have all had tremendous starts, and Ed Reed and Rodney Harrison continue to play at a high level. The difference between this group and Williams is they excel in every facet of the position. They can all cover as well as they rush the quarterback and deliver big hits on running backs. Williams isn't even an average cover safety.

There's nothing wrong with not being a perfect player. But Williams is considered the face of the Cowboys' young defense, and he'll probably be named to the Pro Bowl annually. He's a ferocious blitzer and he can change games with his hitting ability. The question is does he help the Cowboys win week in and week out? No matter what Michaels and Madden say, the answer is no.

From 2006 www.cbssportsline.com
So who's the league's most overrated? There are a lot of name players to choose from, but the winner is Dallas Cowboys safety Roy Williams. He isn't nearly as good as his reputation, which is Lone Star big.


Who's in the background, eating Santana Moss' dust? Why, it's Pro Bowl safety Roy Williams. (Getty Images)
Williams played in his third consecutive Pro Bowl after the 2005 season, but he certainly hasn't performed to that level. Williams is a good hitter when in the box, but he struggles in coverage, which is why teams were able to exploit the Cowboys with some big plays last season.

Anyone who saw the Cowboys blow that Monday night game to the Commanders saw that Williams can be trouble in coverage. The Commanders twice threw over the top of him for fourth-quarter touchdowns.

Sure, he makes those highlight hits. But for every one of those, there's two misses in coverage. That's not good enough.

There is no way he's a better safety than Adrian Wilson of the Cardinals or Sean Taylor of the Commanders, two players who should have gone to the Pro Bowl ahead of Williams.

Those two, by the way, are among our 32 underrated players.

It might not be the Pro Bowl, nor do we give them a trip to Hawaii, but at least they can take satisfaction in knowing somebody appreciates what they do.

After all, it has to get tiring having "Underrated" as a first name.

Now for the choices:
 
There are a million Cowboy haters who write stupid columns.

You should join them.
 
That articles you are referring to are from LAST YEARS Monday Night game against the Commanders. You arent proving anything to anyone.
 
what ever man Roy deserves to be there. he only got beat cuz hes trying to play both saftey positons at the same time cuz we dont have a good free safety right now

Dont sweat it.

Pat Watkins is our answer and KDs will be strictly ST.
 
Geez, he leads the league in takeaways. He's really having a down year.

When I 1st saw this thread I thought it was gonna say...

"Roy should decline the invite and stick up for his buddy in the secondary, Terence Newman. Make a statement."

or something like that.

But then I noticed who started this thread.
