You know, I was just thinking that this deserved its own thread...that the other dozen or so threads on the subject were completely inadequate. Thanks. :rolleyes:

Good point as far as his effort against the G-Men. It might be sad to say that Reeves played the best out of all of our secondary Sunday night.

I think Reeves is going to get better.

One word...S-L-O-W.

I believe it's a root cause of a lot of our defensive problems dating back to last year. We lack team speed on defense. Newman, Ware and Reeves are fast for their positions, but top to bottom we don't appear to be a fast defense in the mold of our former great defenses.

Bingo. We need a draft and FA period to get a few more players that better fit this philosophy.

He got burned by Burress for 60 yards because his deep coverage failed -- he's got his coverage right but the other guy isn't there.

He gets "credit" for that catch that was clearly the safety's fault.

and that safety was Ken Hamlin, yet Roy gets the blame.

Henry gets torched, yet Roy gets the blame.

Roy didn't have a very good game, no doubt. but he still led the team with 8 solo tackles and he was far from the only one on the defense to give up some plays, yet he gets all the blame. I really don't get it.

It was Hamlin's side of the field. Roy is only in the picture because he runs after the play.

In any case, Henry shows just how slow he really is. He doesn't have any "closing speed."

Yes, I wondered if that wasn't the case when Wade told them in the off-season to lose the weight because you gotta be able to run in this defense.

I'm pretty sure James, Ayodele, Canty, Spears, Henry, Roy, Hamlin, etc. are not considered above-average speed players at their respective positions.

This coming from a guy with Roy Williams in his sig, it's a little hard to think you're viewing the game objectively.

I don't care at all...but FWIW, its a rule and general common sense that you don't start threads on a subject that already has threads discussing said subject.

If you don't like that, perhaps you should go somewhere else as well.

If this was the case then the whole board would shut down.:laugh2:

I'm pretty sure it was on Roy. Hamlin went with either a dif WR or the TE on an out/flag pattern and Roy was in the middle where the pass was caught. He bit on something short I think.

huh, funny.. I could have sworn we were all Cowboys fans.. My opinion doesn't count now that I am a fan of Roy Williams? Am I not a fan of Roy Williams because I am a fan of the Cowboys? You think that I might be a fan of Roy Williams because he is really good? I don't tend to be fans of players who suck. And thus, if someone is good, you become a fan, and thus you defend them. That's like you arguing with a Commanders fan over Commanders/Cowboys and him saying it's hard to take you seriously because you are a Cowboys fan.

Oh, and your opinion counts because of your great post history since you joined last month? :rolleyes:
