Roy Williams

[rojan]

I cant Believe we haven't heard more about Roy..I been going through the reports that have been posted the last couple of days and all I could find out about him is that he has lost some weight and is no longer in the Dime Package.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

yeah seriously, I was just thinking the same thing.

Either he is not doing anything wrong or not doing anything special.

i think roy took to heart, what some things were being said about him,

and roy is stepping up to the plate and answering one of his quotes, its time to put up or shut up

several media guys have posted that roy has slimmed down and looked really good

thats all ive ever wanted; for roy to step up, be the cowboys player he was the first couple of years and be a leader on the defense, knowing all the signals, calling the plays,

now roy seeems to be motivated, and thats good

we all sometimes have to be challenged sometimes in our life, to me, roy is answering that call

only time will tell

From what I read on the Cowboys site he's either getting some serious motivation out of being taken out of the Dime situations or he's simply accepted the fact that he's considered a liability in the dime and won't be playing in it. At least from the quotes he doesn't seem to be getting down about it and is saying all the right things. We'll have to see how it turns out in the long run though.

I honestly think Roy has always been so good that he never really had to work hard at it.

I was a kid that had no trouble making all As in high school. I never cracked open a book. I was able to sit in class and retain what the teacher said. I'd get the tests and ace them without much difficulty.

I went to college with the same study habits. Wow! Was I ever in shock. My first semester wound up killing me....I had a 2.4 GPA. No sweat I thought...big deal...I'll be ok the second semester....2.6....

I finally started to get it my second year. The damage was done though. I struggled to graduate with honors.

I think Roy was always bigger and stronger than other players he went up against. His first two or three seasons he could get by on ability and reputation. But the last two seasons teams finally went after him. For the first time, I think Roy realized that he was going to have to work.

Maybe he needed the wakeup call. I think Roy will surprise us this season...in a good way.

Dropping biscuits: Safety Roy Williams appears to have dropped some weight and looks to be running better than he has the last couple of years. He is listed at 221 pounds.

All this is making me excited to see Roy once again.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

well dont get too dissapointed when September rolls around.

What if, what if, some miracle occurs and RWilliams has turned back the clock to the early years when he was making plays and knocking players out. What/how will the rest of the NFL stop us then?

they won't be able to.

It's just that the early signs seem to be promising.

However-my expections for him this season are LOW.

Throwing this link in here because it has Wade talking Roy and also has Grizz and Shango, who are out at TC watching every practice, talking about Roy as well.

Unfortunately, the NFL's girly rules re hitting etc pussified Roy. If he can go back to the Roy he was in 02 and 03, our secondary won't allow a TD all year (hyperbole intended)

So they see no change?

Personally, I think its premature to see anything. I'll wait for a good number or practices before I expect any real information about any player.

 

[KLJ]

haven't i heard for the last 2 years that williams has lost weight?

Oh we have. However losing weight and being in shape are totally different.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Roy is laying low and working hard....good combo

Teaching Roy Better Techniques


While Roy Williams has admitted he is not comfortable in man coverage at times, going so far as to say he hopes quarterbacks don't throw his way, some of his discomfort may not be entirely his fault.


"There was some technique things that he could do better," Phillips said of his five-time Pro Bowl safety. "It was on us as coaches to get him to do some things better that make him look better."


With new secondary coach Dave Campo working on Williams' technique, he has quietly had a solid training camp thus far. Williams was able to frequently jam tight ends Tony Curtis and Jason Witten during Sunday's 7-on-7 drill, and while he didn't make an interception, he found himself stepping in front of a Tony Romo pass intended for Terrell Owens.

Info I seen so far:

The pass to TO bounced off of Roy and TO still caught it. Said it hit Roy between the 3 and the 8.

Had tight coverage on Curtis but was tugging on his jersey, could of been PI.

Leveled TO on crossing route but didn't seem intentional.

A pass completed between him and Ellis, we don't want these 2 together covering anybody.

Had the flat covered on a swing pass.

We all saw the camp photo of his frontal horse collaring method used on Barber.

Most of the stuff we hear is the media focusing on the negative, (ya think?).

We have to give Campo time to work his magic.
