I agree. Gone are the days where a slow, un-athletic SS could just load up and lay the wood on players. Also, gone are the days where slow, tight ends were just considered small linemen- blockers that can catch the ball from time to time. Now tight ends are athletic and demand someone with equal or superior athletic skills to cover them. Also, more running backs are getting into the passing game. Teams simply cannot afford to have have stiffs at the safety position, and that is exactly what Roy has become.


word up!!

Hey I've been saying it for two years, but I understand why it takes longer for some.

Roy did nothing while healthy this year. I've never seen a team bend over backwards to hide a liability like this in my life. It would be one thing if he was a presence in the box, but he isn't. Again..0 tackles for loss in 2007 and no sacks. I doubt he even got a pressure, he became so tentative in the last 2 years that he can't fight off blocks from TE's or FB's. He is milking that ridiculous extension for all it's worth. We could get better talent for the saved $2.2 million and perhaps some upside.

Again, Brian Stewart was coaching the defense. Bradie James wasn't playing that well either and couldn't sniff the backfield, until Wade took over. It is unfortunate that Roy came back at a time when Stewart was still coaching the team and not exploiting the personnel to it's talents.

I'd hope Jerry orders Wade not to hand over the defensive reigns to anybody...

:rolleyes:

and 10 other teams could have DeMarcus Ware...every team in the league passed on Jason Witten 2 or 3 times each. Wonder what some RB needy teams are thinking right now after watching 4th rd pick Tashard Choice this past month?

Roy Williams was a concensus top-10 pick by everyone, and every socuting service/guide etc etc had him rated ahead of Ed Reed back then.
Or Tom Brady Dallas took Mario Edwards instead of Brady. DAMN !!
